hello, i'm tadhg enright. president biden says he will travel to hawaii next week to inspect the response to the deadly wildfires on the island of maui. he's been criticised by his political opponents, who've said he's been slow to see the devastation. he'll meet the survivors and emergency workers. the white house says he'll visit scenes of wildfire damage and discuss next steps in the recovery operations with officials. so far, officials have confirmed that 110 people have died in the fires, but that number is expected to rise as the search continues. only 38% of the affected area has been searched, and just a handful of victims have been identified.

let's go to our north america correspondent sophie long who's in lahaina on maui. the town most devastated by those fires. what have you seen of the progress of identifying the deceased? we of the progress of identifying the deceased?— of the progress of identifying the deceased? ~ ., ~ ., ., the deceased? we now know that 110 --eole the deceased? we now know that 110 peeple are — the deceased? we now know that 110 people are known _ the deceased? we now know that 110 people are known to - the deceased? we now know that 110 people are known to have - 110 people are known to have died, you can make out lahaina behind me the town that was engulfed by flames a week ago. the recovery operation continues as you said, the cad of have now covered a0%, 38% of the worst affected area, we know a mobile more and more coroners have arrived to help with the grim task of identifying those who lost their lives. only five have been identified so far but we do know some of the most vulnerable, the very old and

very young are among those who lost their lives. there are some signs of hope and recovery now emerging, the road to lahaina, the main road that has been closed for a week was reopened today during daylight hours although you can see the roadblock behind me, they are not letting people into the worst affected area itself because that search and recovery operation is still ongoing. recovery operation is still ongoing-— recovery operation is still onhoin, ., ., ongoing. you call out the fact the search — ongoing. you call out the fact the search operation - ongoing. you call out the fact the search operation at - ongoing. you call out the fact the search operation at the i the search operation at the beginning was seen as painfully slow, perhaps understandably so. you sense there is a momentum behind those recovery efforts? i momentum behind those recovery efforts? ~ , ., , efforts? i think people were frustrated _ efforts? i think people were frustrated by _ efforts? i think people were frustrated by the _ efforts? i think people were frustrated by the amount i efforts? i think people were frustrated by the amount of| frustrated by the amount of supplies they were able to get into the people who most need them, just above where i'm standing at the moment, there were houses that did not survive and people living in those houses did not have any access to clean water, fuel power and the things they needed. supplies are getting

through it has been a grassroots effort and volunteer organisations getting them the supplies. i think the authorities from the outset have been asking for patients. it is a painstaking and very difficult task, the recovery operation going onjust difficult task, the recovery operation going on just below me. they have been asking for patients, they have more teams, there are now a0 canine teams, there are now a0 canine teams, the dogs have to take rest because of the heat and the terrain. there are now seeing —— signs of recovery, three schools in lahaina did survive, they are being cleared of ash and debris, and the air and water quality is being tested, people are very keen to get children back to school as soon as possible so they can be with their friends and be learning instead of kicking around and thinking constantly about the enormity of what happened here. president biden is due to visit the area on monday. there has been some criticism that he should have come sooner. there

are some people who think now was not the time either. i was speaking to a person who is a teacher of hawaiian culture and he thought very deeply about it and he said, a lot of people here are glad that president biden is going to come and see for himself the damage and the extent of the damage. he said it's important the presence these people are struggling and that they need help, but in presidential visit does require road closures, and it will use resources which are already stretched. so there is division and opinion about when the right time for the president to come and visit this area is, but the idea is he will be able to survey the damage himself and bring some hope to people here. again, road closures, people who are struggling to get their lives back to some kind of normality and that will be a hindrance in them being able to do that.— able to do that. speaking of

normality — able to do that. speaking of normality we _ able to do that. speaking of normality we have - able to do that. speaking of normality we have heard . able to do that. speaking of. normality we have heard much criticism of tourists who continue to visit maui despite the rescue efforts. what is the latest there, are they still people going there? i latest there, are they still people going there? i think, aaain is people going there? i think, again is a — people going there? i think, again is a very _ people going there? i think, again is a very difficult - again is a very difficult subject for people here, because there are still many hundreds of people unaccounted for. and at the moment maui is a island of start contest, on the one hand you have people grieving and on the other side of the island there are still hotels that were untouched and fully operational and a lot of tourists here before the fires came. some of them remain. one young woman i was speaking to was hurt by the fact she saw people snorkelling and enjoying themselves when her people were going through so much. but, at the same time, the island deposit economy is very reliant on the tourism industry and i have been spent people who worked on a nail salon earlier today who said they do not want

the message to go out that maui is closed. they are still recovering from the pandemic which shut down the island for seven months, and there is a lot of people who are now out of work, the whole of lahaina find me and to the ground really, businesses as well as many homes. and people are in need of an income and in need ofjobs, it's a very difficult subject for many people who live in maui to get their heads around because they do not want to people �*s —— they do not want to see people enjoying themselves but they do need the money that it brings in. meanwhile, wildfires in canada's remote northwest territories are inching closer to the region's capital city, yellowknife. the whole of the area is under a state of emergency, as fires continue to burn out of control. communities in the path of the fire are being evacuated, and hundreds of people have been airlifted to safety by the military. yellowknife is now blanketed in smoke. its mayor says that if a full—scale evacuation is needed, the population

of 20,000 may need to be evacuated by air, as the one highway into the city could be rendered impassable by the flames. a wildfire on spain's holiday island of tenerife has forced five villages to be evacuated. the fire, which broke out on tuesday night, is raging through a forested area with steep ravines in the northeastern part of the island. around 250 firefighters backed by 13 planes and helicopters, are tackling the fire. the head of the regional government says, "the fire is out of control, the scenario is not exactly very positive." students in england, wales and northern ireland will receive a—level, t—level and btec results later this morning. a—level results in england are set to drop for a second year running, bringing grades back in line with 2019 levels. there was a spike in results when exams were cancelled because of covid. the pandemic means that many students had never physically

sat exams before this year. nathan standley reports. the nervous wait for results is nearly over. after three years of cancelled exams, remote burning and catch up lessons, pupils in england are being told their grades are getting back to normal. i’iiii told their grades are getting back to normal.— back to normal. i'll be terrified _ back to normal. i'll be terrified on _ back to normal. i'll be terrified on the - back to normal. i'll be i terrified on the morning back to normal. i'll be - terrified on the morning of my results. ., , , ., , results. probably feel ready six. teacher _ results. probably feel ready six. teacher graded - results. probably feel ready six. teacher graded a - results. probably feel ready l six. teacher graded a liberals lead to a boom and top marks during the epidemic, students in wales and northern ireland told the marks will still take disruption into account while english pupils have been promised some leniency as results for back in line with 2019 levels. the cancellation of the gcse in 21 wins many of this year's a level students have never sat formal exams before this year.— before this year. setting a-level _ before this year. setting a-level exams - before this year. setting a-level exams my - before this year. setting a-level exams my first i before this year. setting - a-level exams my first proper a—level exams my first proper exam was was the most terrifying thing i've ever done. it threw me off the first

in the outcome of the last presidential election in the us state of georgia. prosecutors say his arraignment, in which the charges against him are read in court, will take place in early september. the trial proper is slated to begin in march next year if a judge approves. mr trump and his 18 co— defendants have been told to present themselves to georgia's fulton countyjail before the 25th of august, where it's reported mugshots will be taken. he's dismissed the charges as a witch—hunt. our north america correspondent sean dilley has this update. it would be nearly impossible for donald trump �*s biggest opponent not to admit the timing of this seems incredibly politically contentious. the fourth of march is before super tuesday where so many huge states including california goes to the polls to choose each party's nominee to run for

president. what this does show the hugejuggling act donald trump has got on the one hand standing a criminal trial one on the other trying to run the united states presidency, later much is standing trial in new york accused of hiding hush money payments to a porn star during his business. two months later in florida standing trial of allegations he hit classified documents after leaving office. a date has not been set for his federal election interference trial here in washington. and the judge will be the one who decides when the trial is set, in this case of course. what will not be lost on donald trump �*s words, actions and behaviour are about to come under —— intense scrutiny. we know every time he has legal troubles as popularity among republican voters shoot up. it will not be lost on him or anyone else regardless of the verdict in this case it might have a harmful effect on those undecided voters who donald trump would need to win over to

gain the white house. sean dilley there. with the global spotlight focused on these arraignment proceedings, the people of atlanta have been weighing in on whether mr trump should indeed go to jail. have a listen. i don't want to see anybody go down, especially the leader of the free world. i think it is well deserved. he has done a lot of stuff in the background, underhanded stuff and it is time for him to pay for whatever he did. they probably don'tl like it but he had did do something wrong. don't pin it on him - because you don't like him, send him to jail. that don't sound too good to me — the family of travis king, the us soldier confirmed to be in north korea, has told bbc news that they have not heard from him. in an earlier statement, north korea said the american solider wanted to seek refuge in its territory because of the poor treatment and racism he said he had

experienced in the us army. a us defense department spokesperson said they weren't able to verify king's comments, but his family's spokesperson said his uncle had received a text in which the soldier had indicated he was experiencing racism. earlier, private king's family spokesman spoke to the bbc about the 23—year—old's detainment. i don't know exactly what to make of that statement. parts of it didn't make a lot of sense. i would hesitate, i would caution folks against taking this at face value. north koreans have a long history of trying to exploit racial issues in the united states and we, not having heard from travis, we don't know. we have not heard from him and no reports on his condition. something about that statement suggested that perhaps, to me at least, he's been not treated terribly but we don't know and yes, his mother is terribly concerned and she wants her son back.

i don't know what he knew what he thought at the time because i never actually got to speak to him but certainly i would imagine that all us troops operating in the republic of korea, south korea, are briefed on the dangers of their neighbour to the north. new york city has become the latest place in the united states to ban the chinese—owned video sharing app tiktok on government—owned devices. itjoins a growing number of administrations across the globe that have put such restrictions in place, citing security and privacy concerns. us lawmakers have increasingly called for a nationwide ban. the platform's parent company bytedance has consistently denied allegations it poses a threat to national security. around the world and across the uk,

this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the deadline has passed for companies to put in their bids to take over the high street home ware chain wilko, which went into administration last week. wilko, which has been trading since 1930, has more than a00 shops and employs over 12,000 workers. administrators say if a buyer is not identified then the company could be liquidated. a 39—year—old man from lurgan, county armagh, has been arrested by detectives investigating a major breach of data from the police service of northern ireland. he's being held on suspicion of collection of information likely to be useful to terrorists. the data, which was mistakenly released, included the surnames and initials of 10,000 psni staff. a conservative mp has called for the creation a "crooked house law" to protect historic pubs and buildings. it would be named after an 18—th century pub near dudley that was gutted

by fire earlier this month, before being demolished without permission. marco longhi — who represents dudley north — says the law needs to be strengthened you're live with bbc news. next to another controvery about the casting of actors in the movie industry. it involves golda, a biopic of israeli prime minister golda meir starring the british actor, dame helen mirren. ahead of its release in israel and the us next week, there have been complaints that golda meir should have been portrayed by an actor who was israeli orjewish — dame helen mirren is neither. talking movies tom brook reports on the controversy and the film. and just a warning, there is flash photography in tom's report. dame helen mirren managed least to promote her new film golda in person at festivals before the actors strike began. in the picture, she gives an impressive performance, playing israel's only female prime minister, golda meir, who led

the country from 1968— 197a. the 1973 yom kippur war wall when he israel was attacked by egypt and syria is the backdrop to this film, a challenging time for golda meir. the government was criticised for lack of reparation. if government was criticised for lack of reparation.— lack of reparation. if he doesn't. _ lack of reparation. if he doesn't. i _ lack of reparation. if he doesn't, iwill- lack of reparation. if he doesn't, i will order- lack of reparation. if he doesn't, i will order my lack of reparation. if he - doesn't, i will order my plans to attack. mil doesn't, i will order my plans to attack-— to attack. all those men will die. to attack. all those men will die- helen — to attack. all those men will die. helen mirren _ to attack. all those men will die. helen mirren is- to attack. all those men will die. helen mirren is almost| die. helen mirren is almost unrecognisable at first as a rather frumpy looking golda meir. to rather frumpy looking golda meir. ., , ., . , ., meir. to protect us from cossacks _ meir. to protect us from cossacks would - meir. to protect us from cossacks would get - meir. to protect us from | cossacks would get drunk meir. to protect us from - cossacks would get drunk and attacked jews. the cossacks would get drunk and attacked jews._ cossacks would get drunk and attacked jews. the picture was made by israeli _ attacked jews. the picture was made by israeli director - attacked jews. the picture was | made by israeli director guyana tv. he really wanted dame helen for the role. tv. he really wanted dame helen for the role-— for the role. she definitely had a kind _ for the role. she definitely had a kind of— for the role. she definitely i had a kind of grandmotherly quality about her but she could be quite stern and away. what be quite stem and away. what did ou be quite stem and away. what did you admire _ be quite stem and away. what did you admire about - be quite stem and away. what did you admire about her? - be quite stem and away. what did you admire about her? i i did you admire about her? i admired hercommitment did you admire about her? i admired her commitment to her country. in a way, i thought she was a bit like elizabeth the first, that sort of utter commitment, lifetime commitment to something. she was not

and the west australian has used a photo of sam kerr, saying �*it hurts, but we're so proud'. here in the uk, the i newspaper calls england's lionesses �*wonder women' and the sun has gone for the �*lionyeses�* — saying �*now bring on the spaniards�*. the business news in a moment. stay with us here we�*ve seen a change in the weather over the last couple of days, a change to something drier, brighter and warmer. and we�*re going to stick with warm and indeed quite humid conditions over the next couple of days. but on friday, it will turn windy, and some heavy thundery rain will arrive. thursday, though, is going to be quite a quiet day of weather. there�*ll be some areas of low cloud and mist first thing, tending to lift and clear, and then actually some lengthy

spells of sunshine with just the small chance of catching a shower. a bit more of a breeze, though, and with that breeze coming from the east, where you�*re exposed to it along north sea coasts, temperatures may only get to between 17—20 celsius, but with some shelter from the breeze, parts of western scotland, the north coast of northern ireland up to 22—23 celsius, maybe 26 celsius for the west coast of wales and 27 celsius for parts of central southern england. now as we head through thursday night, we will see again some areas of low cloud developing. the winds will start to pick up across western parts, and we will see a few showers and thunderstorms just starting to break out. temperatures 12—16 celsius. as we get into friday, it is going to turn really quite windy around western coasts as this frontal system starts to squeeze its way in. the white line squashing together, that shows that we will have some quite strong winds. in fact, gusts potentially of 50 to possibly 60mph in exposed parts of northwest wales. one band of heavy thundery rain pushing north eastwards, then a drier gap, and then some more general heavy rain getting

into the southwest later in the day. depending on how quickly the rain arrives, it could again be very warm indeed, and it will certainly be very humid. now, friday night looks really wet as this frontal system drives its way northwards and eastwards, some heavy and thundery bursts of rain. close to the centre of this area of low pressure on saturday, we will also see some showers, particularly across northern ireland, western scotland, maybe some for western fringes of england and wales. further south and east, not as many showers. in fact, it should be largely dry, and, again, quite warm. temperatures up to around 25 celsius in the southeast corner, but 21 celsius for glasgow, 22 celsius in belfast. still mostly dry and fairly warm on sunday, just a few showers around. and then into the start of next week, towards the south of the uk, temperatures could climb a little further.
