georgia where m jude robert georgia where jude robert mcburne is _ georgia where i judge robert mcburney is about to read out the indictment against former us president donald trump. there have been several witnesses seen going in and out of the courthouse. we are led to believe that the paperwork that lady is carrying that you can just see leaving the room now now is in fact an indictment for the former president, donald trump. that is a case that investigation, which has been taken by the georgia fulton county district attorney who has been investigating actions by the former president for 2.5 years. she's been investigating his actions and also others in their efforts to overturn is narrow loss in georgia to the democrat, joe biden. let's listen in for a moment. i

fema, they have 460 people statewide helping us recover. of this group, many search and rescue they have search and rescue they have search and rescue dogs, 20 dogs which will help us assess all the catastrophic changes at the homes we believe there will be others who are passed away. the governor went on to confirm at least 96 people are dead, making this the deadliest us wildfire in over a century. he also shared key contacts and updates on the resources available for those displaced in maui. hundreds are still reported missing, and so far only 20% of the city of lahaina has been searched. questions are now being asked about the state's emergency preparedness. the hawaiian attorney general is investigating after early warning sirens failed to activate. fema's director of response operation, jeremy greenberg, said more than 3,200 residents of hawaii have registered to receive federal assistance. live now to helena humphrey who's in maui. helena, we're awaiting an update from the governor

shortly, but what is the latest situation in terms of the rescue and recovery operation? we are awaiting that update and here at this government building, i'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that flags are in fact now flying at half mast. the governor has been warning people to brace for that death toll. potentially he said to double. we would learn the full extent of it in about ten days. he's been telling people about the efforts engaged in recovery as people continue to comb through the rubble with those cadaver dogs. as of yesterday, only 5% of that territory had been searched and he's also been speaking about more rooms for the hundreds of people who have been displaced on this island, saying that over 1900 rooms have now been made available but let me give you an idea of the picture that we've been seeing as we are going to evacuation shelters. many of

them are at capacity. we've seen beds spilling out into the open as people try to tell us, who had lost everything in lahaina, they have been slipping out in the open and in backyards. this is the extent of the humanitarian needs. they are great. people need everything from food, water, shelter, all kinds of assistance here.- shelter, all kinds of assistance here. ~ , ., assistance here. as you are describing. _ assistance here. as you are describing, the _ assistance here. as you are describing, the scale - assistance here. as you are describing, the scale of - assistance here. as you are describing, the scale of the j describing, the scale of the task at hand is absolutely enormous. those people you've seenin enormous. those people you've seen in those shelters, how are they coping with this? the? seen in those shelters, how are they coping with this?— they coping with this? they are traumatised. _ they coping with this? they are traumatised. i _ they coping with this? they are traumatised. i think— they coping with this? they are traumatised. i think it's - they coping with this? they are traumatised. i think it's fair - traumatised. i think it's fair to say that with that list of missing people which we've seen, with that list being so long, they are barely even able to comprehend whether their loved ones are missing or indeed dead. cellphone reception here is being spotty. many of them have lost their cellphones when they run for

their lives. with that in mind, they are not able to mourn or even grieve or comprehend what has happened at this moment. speaking to volunteers, volunteer police officer who knows lahaina so well. he grew up knows lahaina so well. he grew up here and loves this island and going back into the community described to me that when he tried to orient himself and look his favours landmarks, he was completely disoriented. nothing is left. 80% of that area is now completely decimated. 0ther area is now completely decimated. other people i've met, one man, ryan, walking at the harbour was with his dog and he was trying to share his pet with other people. trying to use it as an emotional support animal and when i asked him about why he was doing it, he told me that he had lost absolutely everything. he said that he felt, he feels helpless. at the same time, it's important to stress here that people don't feel completely hopeless. there is

something unique about the hawaiian spirit, it the aloha spirit, it's one of love and generosity in the response from the local community, people have lost everything, coming together to share what they do haveis together to share what they do have is truly remarkable. given those challenging _ those challenging circumstances, the human cost and the geographical isolation, how are the authorities managing? do they have all that they need?— they need? that's a really important _ they need? that's a really important point _ they need? that's a really important point you - they need? that's a really important point you make j they need? that's a really - important point you make there, the fact this area is so remote and because of that we continue to see fema assistance coming in. 416 to see fema assistance coming in. a16 officers statewide stop i've been speaking tojohn mills, deputy administrator from that agency. i asked him what i saw on the ground. john mills from fema, thank you for your time. your teams have been into lahaina, what have they been seeing this to mark we've been seeing this to mark we've beenin been seeing this to mark we've been in lahaina for the last few nights and we are working directly with survivors. iii} directly with survivors. 70 eo - le directly with survivors. 70

as we get it. we'll bring that all back to you. let's go back to questions in hawaii about why there wasn't an alert to tell residents there was a fire. the bbc put that question to david paulison, a former federal emergency management agency administator. i surely hope what they will do is a full assessment of what did and didn't happen, put in is in place to, you know, perhaps do a betterjob next time. every disaster, every disaster we think there are things we could have done better and i am convinced they will do that. you already hear about people upset, angry, and we hope that investigation will come out of that and find out if you did or didn't happen. and we're expecting a press

conference from hawaii governorjosh green and other officials at half—past the hour. we'll bring you that live when it happens. we are also watching events in georgia on the indictment of donald trump and will bring you more. the west african regional bloc, ecowas, has expressed shock at attempts by coup leaders in niger to charge the deposed president, mohamed bazoum, with treason. mr bazoum has been held captive with his family in the capital for three weeks. although reports say he's being held in difficult conditions, a doctor who saw the president said he's in good spirits. bazoum's potential prosecution has been met with international concern, with the us state department describing the charges as "completely unwarranted and unjustified" and a "further affront to democracy and justice and to the respect of the rule of law". a spokesman for the junta said its authorities

had been gathering evidence against bazoum but no evidence was provided. the announcement was made on national television. translation: in any event, the government of niger has, to date, gathered the necessary evidence to prosecute the ousted president and his local and foreign accomplices before the national and international authorities for high treason and undermining the internal and undermining the internal and external security of niger. following his exchanges with the nationals and foreign heads of state and the heads of international organisations. 0ur west africa correspondent mayeni jones has more on bazoum's potential prosecution. thejointer in niger is accusing the president, mohamed bazoum of treason. —— went up. this was made in a statement on sunday night made by representatives of the junta. he did not provide any details of the evidence he had, hejust said they had plenty of

evidence to potentially prosecute him. this is concerning for the international community because it might suggest the junta is taking a hard line towards the president, that they had been detaining since latejuly. but they also believe this could potentially be a negotiation tactic on the behalf of the junta, a way of applying pressure on the regional block, ecowas, and the international community and looking as if they are holding a hard line. all this, amidst growing concern by the international community over president mohamed bazoum and his family, the un, the us have expressed concern, particularly for the state of his health, the president is said to have lost quite a lot of weight. his 20—year—old son is said to have a chronic heart condition and his family are saying that he's been denied medical care. this is something thejunta been denied medical care. this is something the junta denies, they say mohamed bazoum did see a doctor on the 12th and he signed off everything to do with him. the president because

my daughter says the family doesn't have electricity at the moment, is eating very poorly or eating rice and pastor and because of the lack of electricity, the fresh produce in the house is spoiling. —— pastor. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some other news now. for the first time in us history, three branches of the armed forces don't have a senate confirmed leader. the navy, army and marine corps are without because a republican senator continues to block military nominations over abortion rights. senator tommy tuberville of alabama says the pentagon is using government funds improperly — by paying the travel costs for service members who want to terminate a pregnancy. a hospital official in ethiopia's amhara region says at least 26 were killed in a suspected air strike on sunday. it follows reports an ethiopian army drone attacked protesters in the town of finote selam, killing 70 civilians. the state—appointed ethiopian human rights commission says it's received credible reports of strikes and shelling in the town.

japan is bracing for an incoming typhoon — expected to make landfall in southern part of honshu island on tuesday. the national weather agency says typhoon lan is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds of up to 180 kilometres per hour. you're live with bbc news. going back to georgia, and the jury has handed the 10—count indictment to the judge at a fulton county courthouse. we expect that they're related to his attmpts to interfere in the results of the 2020 electoin. —— election. court clerk che alexander has relayed a thick stack of documents from the courtroom to the clerk's office three floors below. she would not comment on their contents other than to tell reporters that they include ten indictments, though they could also refer

to other matters besides donald trump's case. she told reporters that "worst case scenario" she would be done processing the documents in three hours. we're looking now at live of the fulton county courthouse in georgia where we are waiting for those indictments to be processed. a worst—case scenario is three hours, what is the best case. live now to sarah krissoff, formerfederal prosecutor for the southern district of new york. thank you forjoining us. this has been a long day for that jury, sitting hours long past the usual hours. we have some indictment papers now. home indictment papers now. how uncommon _ indictment papers now. how uncommon is _ indictment papers now. how uncommon is this? - indictment papers now. how uncommon is this? what - indictment papers now. how uncommon is this? what is l uncommon is this? what is unusualfor uncommon is this? what is unusual for this real—time play-by-ptay unusual for this real—time play—by—play of what is going on in the grand jury under and thatis on in the grand jury under and that is very unusual to have

that. it is surreal even to me he was used to presenting cases to a grand jury. so i think we are having a window into the operations of the fulton courthouse today and it has been interesting to watch that. what is the next step in the process? the klerk says she will process the documents, what happens after that? she has to make _ what happens after that? she has to make sure _ what happens after that? she has to make sure it _ what happens after that? sue: has to make sure it is all what happens after that? s“i2 has to make sure it is all in order, that there is arrest warrants and everything tracks, everything is signed where it should be signed and then lodging all that in her system and then the next step is to inform counsel for those individuals, assuming they all have counsel, they will inform counsel of those arrest warrants for the folks who were indicted. ~ ., , . .,

specific charges will be, but based on what we know the investigation to date is there a case that he believed the election was fraudulent, in his opinion, and he can argue he was trying to preserve the democracy of this country? even if he believed _ democracy of this country? even if he believed that _ democracy of this country? even if he believed that he _ democracy of this country? even if he believed that he still i if he believed that he still has no right to enter into an illegal conspiracy and that is what this charges. we do not know exactly what the charges will be. there will be some type of conspiracy charge and some type of racketeering charge and the georgia racketeering statute is very broad and leaves a lot of room for this type of conduct there. so while the defence has some appeal among the public and in the public narrative i'm not sure it will stand out in a courthouse.— sure it will stand out in a courthouse. ., , , ,., courthouse. there has been some speculation _ courthouse. there has been some speculation that... _ courthouse. there has been some speculation that... we _ courthouse. there has been some speculation that... we have i courthouse. there has been some speculation that... we have not . speculation that... we havenot not seen the indictments yet so

of the wildfires in hawaii. we are waiting on a press conference form hawaii's governor, josh green, along with other state and emergency officials. we can go to our correspondent helena humphrey who's in maui. what do we expect to hear from the governor when he delivers the governor when he delivers the youth shortly? == the governor when he delivers the youth shortly?— the youth shortly? -- the u date the youth shortly? -- the update shortly. _ the youth shortly? -- the update shortly. the i the youth shortly? -- the update shortly. the flags | the youth shortly? -- the i update shortly. the flags are at half—mast as you would and we expect a death toll update, very likely because we have already had warnings earlier today from josh green that it could potentially even double over the next ten days. we also expect to hear more from fema officials expect to hear more from firefighters, first responders about the situation, specifically in lahaina because we know that there have been some efforts to continue to control that blaze, it is largely extinguished but

changes persist and most poignantly, i think, changes persist and most poignantly, ithink, is changes persist and most poignantly, i think, is the fact that authorities and officials are continuing to comb the rubble. so far as of our last count they have only been able to go through about 5% of the area as they look for the remains of people and then we get to the next stage which is identification because people are continuing to be reminded that if they have lost loved ones to carry out dna tests. we think also about the assistance offered to survivors here in terms of cash assistance, in terms of shelter assistance. we know that thousands are potentially displaced and so far today we have been hearing from the governor that 1900 rooms have been made available so people are finding out whether that will be enough based on the humanitarian needs we are seeing here. {lin humanitarian needs we are seeing here-— humanitarian needs we are seeing here. humanitarian needs we are seeinr here. ., seeing here. on that point, the housin: seeing here. on that point, the housing crisis, _ seeing here. on that point, the housing crisis, essentially, i seeing here. on that point, the housing crisis, essentially, is i housing crisis, essentially, is one that will last for quite a while. the recovery mission is not yet complete so they cannot

move to rebuilding and housing people in a more permanent way. that is such an important point. many people ask about maui rebuilding and, really, now at this stage they are simply thinking about recovering, about understanding exactly who has been lost. fema is already said it will likely pass $5.5 billion us to rebuild but many people we've been speaking to here on maui have also been raising questions about how they will rebuild. keepin about how they will rebuild. keep in mind, lahaina is largely was, because so many of those historic buildings have been raised to the ground, this beautiful old historic former capital of the royal kingdom of hawaii and those buildings are gone now. people are asking about how it will be rebuilt and they also say, you know, please don't let the developers come in and build luxury high—rise tourist housing and leave the residents of lahaina,

people would have been on the island for a long unable to afford housing in the future but right now, the shelter needs are acute because when we are in the shelters, even a couple of days ago, we see beds in places flowing out onto the grass and we have been seeing other people who say that they have been sleeping out in the open and you can see the weather conditions where i am right now, it is hot and windy and all these factors potentially compound the humanitarian crisis. as we speak to you are looking at live pictures where the press conference will take place. doctorjosh green, the governor, and the maui county mayor and many of those first responder agency and officials from the electricity company, the american red cross. you've been speaking earlier to someone from fema. what are they told you about your efforts? we have officials in

the state of hawaii that concentrated in when they say thatis concentrated in when they say that is a very grim task of searching through the rubble, trying to find remains and try to identify them.— to identify them. they also tried to get _ to identify them. they also tried to get aid _ to identify them. they also tried to get aid in - to identify them. they also tried to get aid in that i to identify them. they also | tried to get aid in that been really keen to stress to me that this response is being led by the state. this response is being led by the governor. it's being led by the governor. it's being led by the governor. it's being led by the local first responders on the ground. they are here in a supportive role. they've also said to me they are going to be here as long as it takes. something we've also heard from the biden administration, every asset that can be deployed will be deployed. president biden saying that this is more than just about thoughts and prayers. however, we do have to say that speaking to people you on the ground, from the sadness, also comes frustration and anger. people have been

asking, where is the aid. people need so
