12:10 pm
the capital of the hawaiian kingdom, has been reduced to ruins. almost everyone who lives here has lost everything. we already know this is the deadliest disaster in the state's history, and the number of those who died is still climbing. this was lahaina's historic seafront, now reduced to ashes. bustling streets and shops all razed to the ground. but it's too early to accurately assess the full extent and impact of this disaster. buildings burned to the ground have not yet been searched. the fires that claimed them and the lives of those inside may be contained, but they're still burning. thousands have been left homeless by the ferocious flames fanned by winds from an offshore hurricane. thank you very much. yeah _ they flocked to shelters seeking food and water. the need for assistance is great, but so too are the challenges
12:11 pm
to meeting it. the only land route to those most in need has been blocked. sirens. as road access to lahaina was opened and people started to make their way back to see what, if anything, remains, hawaii's governor urged people to prepare themselves to witness destruction like they've never seen. vicksay and his family were here on holiday from california. caught by the flames, they almost lost their lives. we left our vehicle and my my, my saw my wife and our five kids, we all got in the ocean. we found a floating board that we hung on to. we're out there floating. it's so surreal and everything is burning around and explosions, cars blowing up. even the world's wealthiest have been touched by this tragedy. oprah winfrey, who has a home on the island, has come to help. the billionairejeff bezos has pledged $100 million to help
12:12 pm
with the relief effort. this island, once a picture of paradise, is in pain. questions are being asked about the preparedness of the authorities and whether adequate plans had been in place to meet the ever increasing threat of fire. this can happen again, and so we need to have as many takeaways and lessons learned from this because it absolutely must not, must not happen again. this is absolutely tragic. now they're focused on the immediate task at hand. there is talk of hope and strength and rising from the ruins. but it will cost billions to rebuild. and it's hard for some to even think about that with so many unaccounted for and unrecovered. six people have died after a boat carrying migrants sank in the english channel. a joint rescue operation by the british and french

12:16 pm
not fit for purpose. and i'm afraid you're seeing that here. it's really, really hard to understand how, at all layers, this could not be caught early, the legionnaire's disease issue. but the other issue it shows up is a rather more generic incompetence. even working properly, the bibby barge would only take effectively one day's arrivals. so it's not a solution to the problem. and all this is going to go on until the home office manages to process these arrivals more quickly. pakistan will have a new prime minister after an agreement with the outgoing prime minister and the leader of the opposition. the new pms a senator who will oversee a caretaker government for elections which shall be held in the 90 days
