Its a very, very sad day in hawaii. It is devastating. And i know many families in maui are struggling right now as well as many Family Members across the state. We want to send our heartfelt love to them and our prayers to them. I am going to talk with two hats on, from here at the Convention Centre, we set up to accommodate 2,000 people. As the planes were leaving from maui, we realised that some of the people, in fact, a lot of the people that were coming to 0ahu from maui had made their own accommodation. We have a set up here that would accommodate 2,000 people. I want to really thank the team here because terry 0rton from the Convention Centre was here at four oclock in the Morning Setting up. They are doing an incrediblejob. People have been up all night. I really want to thank them for all of the work that they did, the red cross has been here helping us, nicky from the red cross. Thank you to all of those people. John monaghan and jerry gibson had been working with the hotels to make sure when guests get here, that they know which hotels have availability and get them to the hotels. What we also know is that the hotels that had occupancy this morning, most of them do not have that Occupancy Rate now. So that tells us that the people are going straight from the airport and they are finding accommodation and transportation to these resort areas. So that is a good thing. We are prepared here. Tomorrow, we know that more flights will be coming in, actually, buses are coming in right now with people. Survivors have also been describing their escape from the fires. I was the last one off the dock, when the firestorm came through the trees and took everything with it. And ijust ran out to the beach and ran south. I helped everybody i could on the way. Youve got to know when you can. I got home around four oclock yesterday from work. The smoke in town. My son and his girlfriend and two kids were at the house and we evacuated immediately. No cell phone coverage, no internet, no way to contact the outside world and we got to this side of the island around midnight last night. My wife and dog slept in the parking lot at whole foods, woke up this morning and got on our phones to pictures of our house just down to the slab, nothing but smoke. The winds picked up, everything just flew our way, the apartment complex was right above the Aquatics Centre so we thought we were ok but then the wind came, l gas stations blew up, everything caught fire by the brush and then we just had to evacuate. We will be reporting live in the situation shortly. The number of fatalities recently increased to 36. Lets get you the latest on events in ecuador today.

Northern irelands Senior Police officers will be questioned by politicians later about the data breach which led to details about all of the countrys Police Officers and civilian staff accidentally being made public. The information was taken down within two hours, but there are fears that it could still be used by dissident republicans to mount new attacks on the police. Live now to our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher whos in belfast. Lots of questions to ask about how this could possibly have happened. There will be. I think this meeting of the Policing Board is going to be really tense. Everyone is acknowledging that this is a really serious situation. The names of 10,000 Police Officers and staff published online. And that includes Police Officers working in the most sensitive of areas including Police Officers that were working with mi5, the British Security service. Politicians sitting on that Policing Board will one answer to some key questions, firstly, how on earth could this happen . Secondly, how are the police force going to ensure that this never happens again . Crucially, what is the police force doing to ensure the safety of Police Officers in Northern Ireland . We know that they have updated their Security Advice for officers and in the past, that has included things like checking under cars to make sure there are no explosive devices and also varying routes to and from work. The Police Federation which represents officers here say they have been inundated with phone calls from worried officers and their families because when you speak to Police Officers here, they know it is a worrying situation at the best of times. 0ne is a worrying situation at the best of times. One woman told the bbc that she has not told her children that she has not told her children that she has not told her children that she is a Police Officer because she doesnt know who they will tell. 0ne politician here said a Police Officer had told them they had not gone to their mothers house for ten years and sit down for a meal because of the security situation. 0thers because of the security situation. Others have said that they have moved various times so they feel safe. It is undoubtedly a really scary time for some Police Officers because in the past, officers have been targeted, around 300 were murdered during their travels and in february this year there was an Attempted Murder of a senior detective in Northern Ireland. Thank ou ve detective in Northern Ireland. Thank you very much live now to belfast and stephen white, former Assistant Chief Constable for Northern Ireland.

Absolutely, the threat to life and limb in Northern Ireland to Police Officers and their families is not hypothetical, it is real. We had one of the paramilitary Terrorist Groups only a few months ago saying that Police Families were no targets. You know, Police Officers make those decisions and police staff on the civilian side who also work on investigation and evidence gathering and the administrative aspects of the Police Service, in a sense, you know youre putting yourself at risk, but to think that your loved ones are also going to be targeted, then, obviously, that affects close and personal. There is a need, i think, for the Police Service and those in command positions to prove that they are not only regretting what happened, but stung into action to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. That is the most important thing as far as i am concerned. What was a seemingly innocuous question about the establishment, how many Police Officers there and support staff a few what rules they were involved in, an organisational chart that would explain how the Police Service provided services, how that was translated into a document giving over 9000 names, theirjob titles, the department they were working on, and possibly allowing those to be traced to their home address and so on, its absolutely shameful.

An estimated 7. 6 Million People were waiting to start treatment at the end ofjune, up from 7. 5 million in may. It is the highest number since records began in august 2007.

It was beginning to flatten out, but it was not falling, and then we had the strikes in various parts of the Nhs In England and these figures are for england, and nhs england has said there were 100,000 postponed procedures and appointments injune and that contributed to this increase. But i think it is really hard to make arithmetical links directly between the two. Because, clearly, hospitals and right across the system, they are struggling with this backlog. Remember, it is a key pledge of the government to cut this waiting list, certainly after the plateau, it has carried on going up and hospitals are saying it is getting harder to bring down their Waiting Lists as well as coping with all the new patients who need treatment.

For some patients, it is hugely frustrating and disappointing, Consultant Appointments that they have waited for a long time and then they are postponed. But the nhs deals with millions of people. Another statistic, more than 2 million went into a e units during the month of july, the second highest for that month.

Large parts of the tourist town of luh hay nuh on the island of maui have been burned to the ground. Firefighters are still trying to get the fires under control. There were reports some people had jumped into the ocean to escape the fast moving flames. This is the aftermath of the wildfires. Officials said it is still difficult to determine the true extent of the damage on maui, and have warned the death toll may rise. Lets talk to cbs Correspondent Jarred Hill whos in new york.

The latest information, we know that Tens Of Thousands of people have been evacuated the island of maui to other destinations outside of how i or other islands in hawaii, where they have not seen these fires. There are efforts right now to shelter as many people as possible and also try and make sure that people can get you destination where they are safe and have resources. I was going to ask that, bearing these fires are still ongoing, there is support local offer to the local community and presumably there are a lot ofjurors in the area as well. Yes, this is the tourist season, how why is a location that a lot of people like to go to because of its beauty. 0n the one hand, you have a number of shelters that have been set up on some of the islands that are nearby to maui.
