significantly after the worst wildfires to hit an american state in more than a century. our north america correspondent john sudworth reports from the island. vital supplies being loaded onto a boat that would normally be taking tourists whale watching. they're now making multiple daily trips into the disaster zone with a growing sense of frustration. we are all wondering, why was there no help sent from oahu? pearl harbor is a 20 minute flight away, right? why are the limited resources of police on this island left alone? where is the support for them? why are we taking supplies on a boat instead of helicopter? we do this because we have to. an hour into the journey and the devastation along the shoreline comes into view. we can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now and you can make out

is the blackened landscape above the town where the grass was burning and what happened with the hurricane blowing away off to the south, the pressure brought the wind over the top of the island, picking up speed on the way down the mountainside and then picking up sparks from that fire and bringing them directly into the town. they didn't stand a chance. inside, there is little left. but remnants of shattered lives and livelihoods. a stark reminder of the deep humanitarian need here. as the aid is brought ashore, many of those helping out have also been affected by the fire. i was fighting for my life with my four—year—old boy in my hands. i was in the water for eight hours. there was a point that in my head i was thinking, that's it, you know. but my boy kept me

going to survive. this footage shows the terror for those having to take shelter in the water. seems that once again prompt that same question. we were wondering, where is the help? when we want to get the help, we are waiting for it and we need it really bad. there are huge challenges for the authorities, not least searching for human remains while securing a site from the public and the media. we've got to go quick and we have got to do it right. when we pick up the remains and they fall apart, and so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday and some of you, that's what you're stepping on. i don't know how much more you want me to describe it. that's what you're stepping on. give us a little bit of time to contain that.

please. five days on, the true scale of hawaii's disaster is becoming clearer. john sudworth, bbc news, maui. the focus is now on getting aid to survivors. my colleague helena humphrey is in maui. monica, we are here on the road to lahaina. this is as close as we can get. you can see the last police checkpoint here behind me stop right now they are only allowing emergency workers in and there are some concerns as well about the smouldering ruins and the potential for any smouldering ruins and the potentialfor any kind of potential for any kind of flareup in terms of the fires and you only have to take a look at the conditions here, high winds now as well. if you take a look you can see that incredibly dry, drought stricken landscape as well. but it comes at a time that more calls are coming from inside lahaina for more aid to get in in terms of food, clean drinking water, shelterfor

these people who have lost everything. that community has been completely decimated. we have also been speaking to more federal authorities who have been coming on to the island. we met two officers from border protection, they say what they have seen inside lahaina is actually grim. that is how they put it. and when we asked about co—ordination efforts in terms of getting 18 they said at times it has been a case of hurry up and wait. all of this coming at a time when there have been concerns now about the early warning system, but also about the speed of response here. also about the speed of resonse here. ., , ., ., response here. helena, you have soken response here. helena, you have spoken to — response here. helena, you have spoken to some _ response here. helena, you have spoken to some of— response here. helena, you have spoken to some of the _ response here. helena, you have spoken to some of the people . spoken to some of the people who have just lost everything. how are they coping? monica, everybody _ how are they coping? monica, everybody here _ how are they coping? monica, everybody here knows - how are they coping? monica, i everybody here knows someone who has lost everything. this is a very small, tightknit community. we were down at the harbour earlier because there were a lot of volunteers, people from the community, were using their votes to try to get

aid into binar. we met a young man down there, blake, who was traumatised. he was holding a cowboy hat and when we spoke to me is that this is my sole possession, this is all they have left. he is a lahaina resident and he has lost everything in these fires. this is what he said to me. fin everything in these fires. this is what he said to me.- is what he said to me. on the inside people _ is what he said to me. on the inside people need _ is what he said to me. on the inside people need help, - is what he said to me. on the | inside people need help, gas, people — inside people need help, gas, people can't come back. everybody in australia. there are a — everybody in australia. there are a lot _ everybody in australia. there are a lot of people who are still— are a lot of people who are still stranded over there. they don't — still stranded over there. they don't have cell service, they don't — don't have cell service, they don't know what is going on on the side — don't know what is going on on the side. of those who don't have — the side. of those who don't have cars _ the side. of those who don't have cars is even harder. people _ have cars is even harder. people are riding bikes and e-mails _ people are riding bikes and e—mails to the other side to find — e—mails to the other side to find out _ e—mails to the other side to find out what is happening and 'ust find out what is happening and just to — find out what is happening and just to see everyone is living a normal— just to see everyone is living a normal life on the other side of the — a normal life on the other side of the island, it's hard to accept _ of the island, it's hard to accept. so anybody that is looking _ accept. so anybody that is looking to donate, try and do your— looking to donate, try and do your research and go to the small— your research and go to the small families and find the private _ small families and find the private party go find ms and things—

had been gone through with cadaver sniffer dogs. because of we do expect the death toll to rise significantly. we have heard from president biden saying there is more than just impress coming in, more federal aid will be coming in, 200 more from the national guard, he was askedif from the national guard, he was asked if he was going to be visiting and he said it is something they are looking into, at a time when this island tries to recovery, tries to process what is happening here in what is the worst thing while —— wildfire in america for over a century. while -- wildfire in america for over a century.- while -- wildfire in america for over a century. thank you very much — for over a century. thank you very much for— for over a century. thank you very much forjoining - for over a century. thank you very much forjoining us. - for over a century. thank you very much forjoining us. it . for over a century. thank you very much forjoining us. it is just extraordinary what people can do. we go to thomas heaton. he has covered the story on the ground and in the state capitol. he joins us from honolulu. thanks forjoining us on the

anticipated, but with a hurricane dora coming south of maui, creating those high winds, it really fuelled those conditions. there has been a proliferation of invasive grasses, which are set alight very quickly and with the massive wins, 80 mph winds, that means that the fire can spread rapidly. and part of this whole issue is a mix of underfunded fire and rescue services and that means a lack of equipment and personnel as well as the expanding footprint of wildfires as climate change takes hold. and fires are becoming increasingly severe, essentially more common. and experts have been sounding alarms as loudly as they can, but the urgency required has obviously not been there to deal with these wildfire prone

were downed due to wind and it appears they were not turned off, so that really hampered efforts to get out, out or in, because it was essentially acting like an electric fence —— power pole's. and it was stoking the fire. -- power pole's. and it was stoking the fire.— stoking the fire. thomas heaton. _ stoking the fire. thomas heaton, thank _ stoking the fire. thomas heaton, thank you - stoking the fire. thomas heaton, thank you for i stoking the fire. thomas - heaton, thank you forjoining us in the programme. let's turn to the uk. there's growing pressure on the government to do more to stop migrants crossing the english channel on small boats after six people drowned off the coast of france. 59 people, many of them afghans, were rescued by coastguards. they say this is the seventh and this week they've had to pull people from water. uk ministers have pushed double or through parliament which make it illegalfor people to claim asylum in britain if they arrived on small boats. simonjones has the latest. despite yesterday's deaths in the channel off the coast of france, the

crossings continued. 500 more people were brought to shore this weekend. every boat arriving puts more pressure on a prime minister who has made stopping them one of his top five priorities. labour says the people smugglers organising the journeys are "running rings" around the government and it accuses ministers of allowing the asylum backlog to get completely out of control. process cases, get decisions made as quickly as possible and then you can take action if people don't have a right to be in this country. and for those who do, you can make sure that they're allowed to get on and live the rest of their lives happily, but also action on these criminal gangs. the government says new legislation is beginning to have an impact on the exploitative business model of the smugglers. and it insists increased patrols on beaches in northern france alongside a new returns agreement with albania are delivering results. there are record numbers of people arriving in europe at the moment, but the actual numbers coming from france into the united kingdom have gone down. there's a lot of work that's been undertaken to achieve that.

we're working very closely with the french government now to stop boats being launched. obviously, we haven't stopped them all. it's going to continue to be a problem. but we have stopped a lot. today, the winds have whipped up, meaning there have been no more crossings. but as soon as conditions improve, inevitably the people smugglers will be launching more boats from the beaches of northern france, bringing with them the further risk of tragedies in the channel. 0n the seafront in dover, a memorial to remember those who have died seeking sanctuary in the uk. six more men will now be added to that list. unfortunately, it was going to happen some time and we'll have another one before long. all the time people are trying to cross the channel in these boats which are not designed for the purpose, then unfortunately things will go wrong. and politically, that may mean choppy waters ahead. simonjones, bbc news, dover. back around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. back around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. —— back around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. —— around back around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. —— around the back around the world and across the uk, this is bbc

site was a scene of another in —— no group has immediately claimed the latest attacks. now to new zealand. there has been a dramatic rise in the number of teenagers beeping. as cigarette smoking fell to its lowest levels. it has prompted the government there to ban the most disposable vapours and banning stores selling such products —— vapes. there are probably more teens that do vape at school. cocoa is 15 and trying to quit. we've changed her name and voice to protect her identity. it got more accessible for me so i got addicted. everyone around me was vaping at the time, and then that's when also the colourful flavours came out and thatjust got every kid on it. vaping is now the habit of choice for millions

of young people around the world like coco. it's illegal to sell it to under 18s but she tells me that's never stopped her or her friends. the older kids sell to the younger kids and lots of shops don't check id. you can just walk in there, you can even go in your uniform and they'll sell it to you. we're coming up here to the other vape shop, whichever gate the kids come out, there's a vape shop. there's one just here. like many mothers, marnie wilton is worried about how prevalent vaping has become. and this is the primary school, 60 metres away. she says new regulations which include keeping any new vape shops more than 300 metres from schools, failed to address the problem. absolutely does not go far enough to help our children. the laws that the government announced, the new laws, do nothing to affect existing stores that are already built. only a few weeks before the new rules were due to come into effect, another vape shop

opened near local school. parents took to the streets saying their children are not being protected. pineapple ice is not targeting a person who's been smoking for 30 years. vaughan couillault has witnessed first—hand how schools have become the epicentre of vaping. a lot of which, he says, is targeted at youngsters. from a product marketing and trying to capture your market perspective, some genius work has gone on, but it's not helping young people. it might be helping people get off smoking — and all good, carry on with that. but there's far too many young people that never would have even picked up or even thought about picking up a cigarette and have got two or three vapes in different pockets and differentjackets. and that's just not cool. neighbouring australia has taken a hardline approach, banning recreational vaping. ben youdan says that new zealand, like the uk, is aiming for a more holistic method. there's no doubt that our smoking rates have benefited hugely from tens of thousands of people switching from smoking to vaping. we've seen smoking rates

drop a third here. we need to talk to kids around, vaping exists. are you experimenting? how do you resist experimenting? what are the skills to say no to somebody trying to sell it to you in the street or encourage you to try it? and then we need to treat the kids who are showing signs of dependence. it's a tough balance to strike. vaping may have started as a solution to smoking, but it has now created its own uncontrollable problem. shaimaa khalil, bbc news. before we go, just time to bring you some images of the perseid meteor shower, which has been visible across much of europe. this is a timelapse from croatia. the phenomenon is one of the highlights of the year

it'll turn drier and also warm up by the end of the week, but also turn more humid. and there is an increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms as low pressure tries to push in off the atlantic. back to the here and now, though, monday looks pretty unsettled for england and wales. a cloudy, wet start with the heaviest rain across wales. northern england could see some localised flooding as this rain continues to move northwards and improvements across the rest of england and wales into the afternoon. sunny spells, scattered showers and not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland. fewer showers here, more in the way of sunshine, light winds here, but fresher across southern and southeastern areas. those temperatures range from 18—23 degrees. and then as we head through monday night, that area of low pressure continues to pull out into the north sea. many places will turn drier, one or two showers around, but lengthy clear skies and temperatures range from 11—14 degrees. so as we head into tuesday, then we're in between weather systems and higher pressure trying to build in. so a much better day

for most areas, certainly for england and wales on tuesday. could just see the back edge of that low pressure system clipping east and scotland with stronger winds, outbreaks of rain. but that will clear away and into the afternoon. many places will see sunny spells and just a few showers, mostly light, but the odd heavy one couldn't be ruled out. so it could be up to 22 or 2a degrees in the southeast with lighter winds, more sunshine. for wednesday, high pressure sits on top of the country. it'll stay dry for most places and winds will be very light. so we could start off a little bit mist and fog, some low cloud central northern areas through the afternoon or there'll be plenty of sunshine. there could still be an isolated shower through central and northern areas, but it'll feel a little bit warmer at this point. we could be up to 25 degrees, the warmest spots of the south. and then thursday, friday, we see high pressure to the east, lower pressure to the west. that'll start to draw in some warm and humid air off the near continent on a southeasterly breeze. so it really will warm up across southern and eastern areas towards the end of the week. could be the mid to high 20s, but there will be an increasing chance of showers

and thunderstorms moving in from the west.

china rolls out a new plan to attract global investors amid a slump in foreign investment and a slow recovery. and in taiwan,

a slow recovery. and in taiwan, a firm has built there will�*s largest battery network to reduce the cost of going electric. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm monica miller. we begin in china where over the weekend the government issued a new plan to secure foreign investment. the guidelines signal a willingness to protect the interests of global investors by offering tax and visa incentives. it comes at a time when bathing is struggling to attract foreign capital and its economic recovery is slowing down. last week we learned china was seeing prices drop for the first time in more than two years. on tuesday we will get chinese industrial production and retail sales data forjuly. both will help fill in some of the gaps on how the country's export sector is faring and whether consumers are still spending. 0n the same day, another major asian economy, japan, releases its gdp data
