Donald trump is put on notice by a judge about what he can post on social media about his upcoming trial. The uk economy grew ever so slightly in the Second Quarter of the year but is it a sign that things are turning around, or was itjust a consequence of some Summer Sunshine . And to fly or not to fly . A bbc investigation has revealed that rishi sunak has been using raf jets and helicopters as much as once a week during his first seven months in office. More than the uks previous three prime ministers. First, lets focus in on the situation in hawaii. The death toll from wildfires there has risen to 55. But hundreds more are stll missing on the island of maui, and its feared that the number of dead could still rise significantly. The historic seaside town of lahaina has been almost completely burned to the ground. Officials say it will take years to recover from the fires, which were fanned by the winds of a hurricane. My colleague Mishal Husain has more on the scale of the disaster oh, my gosh it has been a searing time for everyone who lives here on maui. Unbelievable. And for the thousands of tourists who came to a normally idyllic island. The wildfires fanned by Hurricane Winds destroyed almost everything in their path. There wasnt even time for, like, officials to come around and tell you to evacuate, nobody came into our complex until the flames where here and we were getting out and then a firetrap was coming in. People lost everything, homes, jobs, their cars are some, their pets. There is still people missing. Now, those who can have been trying to get away. We were stuck in our rooms for three days, we finally got escorted out, it was very scary because there was no light, we couldnt use our phones, we couldnt call family. It looks like a war zone out there, it really looks like some body came along and just bombed the whole town, its completely devastated, it is burned down to the ground, its. The winds dropping down are now helping the process of putting the fires out, but thousands are homeless. And at a shelter for evacuees, oprah winfrey, who has a home here, was one of those trying to help. I came earlierjust to see what people needed, and then went shopping, because often, you know, you make donations of clothes or whatever and it is not really what people need. With an entire town burned to the ground, it will take years for maui to recover after fires that have been the worst in hawaiis history. Hawaii is no stranger to wildfires, but these blazes are being called some of the worst in its history. The bbc� s Azadeh Moshiri explains whats causing them. Wildfires used to be uncommon in hawaii. They were largely caused by Lightning Strikes or volcanic eruptions. In recent decades, Human Activity has made the more common and extreme. We dont know what has caused these wildfires. That still under investigation. We do know that there are several factors that have played a role. When we talk about wildfires, we tend to talk about three ingredients, weather, a spark and fuel. Biomass, things like trees and fuel. Biomass, things like trees and vegetation. We do know when it comes to whether, in hawaii, strong winds have fanned the flames. There are also these other conditions, this red area here represents severe drought in the state and the orange area is moderate drought. Together they represent about 14 of the state according to the us drought to monitor. These larger yellow areas are abnormally dry conditions in the state. This sucks the moisture out of vegetation which means in turn these areas are more likely to catch fire and then spread. On top of all this, scientists have also recorded 90 less rainfall than a century ago. When you are talking about a spark and fuel, scientists have also said that some parts of hawaii have grasses that are not native to the state and are far more flammable than some of the native plants there. Couple that with those dry conditions and again it means those areas are more likely to catch fire and then spread. Now, hawaiis governor said the state is struggling with the impact of Climate Change and said we are seeing this for the first time in many different parts of the world. Its true that Climate Change does increase the risk of wildfire because it drives up temperatures and makes heat waves last longer and makes them more intense. So as we are seeing here, dryer vegetation, higher temperatures, are seeing here, dryer vegetation, highertemperatures, it are seeing here, dryer vegetation, higher temperatures, it means that once a fire is ignited, it is far harder to stop it from spreading. Lets bring in our panel now. He served as director of policy of the labour party, under leader jeremy corbynbryan lanza, Communications Director on former pres. Trumps transition team. The scale of this disaster in hawaii seems to be growing as we see more images. How are people there reacting . Images. How are people there reactinu . � ,. Images.

Its horrible to hear the stories and its even worse to hear that it is going to get worse. I think we have to be patient, and we have to offer compassion as people are going to go through these things, the town was annihilated in a matter of minutes. Hawaii hasnt seen anything like this. Weve experienced it here in california, the dry weather, the dry vegetation creates the ultimate fuel when you have waned. They were dealing with Hurricane Winds along with dry vegetation. We have seen the devastating impact. And i think i california, hawaii has got to adjust their forest california, hawaii has got to adjust theirForest Management california, hawaii has got to adjust their Forest Management and start clearing out some of this brush that they clearly didnt care to this particular circumstance. It is going to be a long time before they rebuild and the people get their heads back together from all of this.

So this is ends, wildfires arewt well. So this is ends, wildfires arent something new. The scale and extent arent something new. The scale and extent of arent something new. The scale and extent of them is off the charts, and i extent of them is off the charts, and i think extent of them is off the charts, and i think it is a real warning to us that and i think it is a real warning to us that if and i think it is a real warning to us that if we and i think it is a real warning to us that if we dont start reacting to climate us that if we dont start reacting to Climate Change, Climate Change is going to Climate Change, Climate Change is going to to Climate Change, Climate Change is going to adapt the way we are forced to live its going to adapt the way we are forced to live its a going to adapt the way we are forced to live. Its a brutal lesson but its tteen to live. Its a brutal lesson but its been decades of us failing to grasp its been decades of us failing to grasp the its been decades of us failing to grasp the nettle on Climate Change and take grasp the nettle on Climate Change and take action. Hopefully now this will spur and take action. Hopefully now this will spur a and take action. Hopefully now this will spur a consensus on this, but we are will spur a consensus on this, but we are seeing both in the uk and the usthere we are seeing both in the uk and the us there are people seeing an advantage in denying that Climate Change advantage in denying that Climate Change is advantage in denying that Climate Change is happening, and that is a real problem, i think. It has to be overcome real problem, i think. It has to be overcome overcome. Rights. Thats an interesting overcome. Rights. Thats an interesting point. Overcome. Rights. Thats an interesting point.

Do you think that that is somehow changing the discussion about the need to at least adapt to Climate Change . I about the need to at least adapt to Climate Change . About the need to at least adapt to Climate Change . I think you have to adapt climate Climate Change . I think you have to adapt. Climate change Climate Change . I think you have to adapt. Climate change is Climate Change . I think you have to adapt. Climate change is here. Climate change . I think you have to adapt. Climate change is here. You| adapt. Climate change is here. You see patterns developing, its very scary going forward. Im from california where you still as forest fires and we are use to the environment taking place where this brush is not cleared and the sparks. We would call a poorForest Management. But something that California Legislature and the government have not prioritised by the better part of 20 years and we saw the direct results of that. I think the other countries need to catch up and see whats california has done and what they are doing to play catch up. We have to adapt. We cant ignore what is happening. We have many factors of how to deal with it going forward, but adapting has to be the first one. My advice to the policymakers having done this and been a policymaker in california, the Forest Management, the clearing of the brush is probably the most critical thing because thats the most active fuel thatis because thats the most active fuel that is there. You can stop thunderstorms but you can clear the brush to get rid of the fuel. That is art of brush to get rid of the fuel. That is part of the brush to get rid of the fuel. That is part of the adaptation in california. Good to talk to you both on that topic. Stay there we will come back to you in a moment. Now to the us, where there have been legal developments affecting both donald trump and joe biden. First, to the former president. Earlier today, Federal JudgeTanya Chutkan gave mr trump leeway to share some non sensitive evidence that will be used in his trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The Special Counseljack smiths office had asked the judge to impose a protective order before sharing evidence with defence lawyers saying witnesses and transcripts could be compromised if mr trump posted about them on social media on his truth social site. Mr trumps legal team meanwhile argued that such an order impeded on his First Amendment rights to free speech. Then, in the last few hours, we had a major update into the investigation intojoe bidens son, hunter biden. The attorney general Merrick Garland announced that the prosecutor investigating mr biden was being given the additional powers of a United StatesSpecial Counsel. David weiss has handled the inquiry into Hunter BidensBusiness Dealings since he was appointed by then President Trump in 2018. Hunter biden has worked as a lobbyist, lawyer, and Investment Banker and has said he has struggled with alcoholism and crack cocaine use. He has been the focus of several republican congressional committees. Mr trump and his allies have long alleged that the 53 year old is guilty of widespread corruption, particularly in his foreign Business Dealings in china and ukraine. Lets talk to our correspondent nomia iqbal now. Great to see you. I want to start with hunter biden, because we saw some significant developments. What do you make of what we saw from the department ofjustice today . Its department ofjustice today . Its Reall Department Ofjustice today . It� s really extraordinary. Especially given that the attorney general had previously dismissed any suggestions that he might appoint a Special Counsel. David weiss himself had also said that. And as you mentioned, david weiss was appointed by donald trump, and when donald trump as president and when biden became President Biden took over the white house, he didnt stand aside, he allowed the investigation to continue. I think there are questions being asked in terms of davids investigation which has been going on for a few years where the charges that he brought against hunter biden too narrow because remember, hunter biden was facing charges of not being honest about his Drug Addiction on a farm to buy a gun, and also filing his taxes late. So there are questions now will david weiss expand his investigation, which he will, but will there be more serious charges facing hunter biden, also, you know, its potentially possible that he could face a criminal indictment and possibly a trial. That could face a criminal indictment and possibly a trial possibly a trial. That is remarkable information possibly a trial. That is remarkable information that possibly a trial. That is remarkable information that we possibly a trial. That is remarkable information that we are possibly a trial. That is remarkable information that we are seen possibly a trial. That is remarkable j information that we are seen come through today. How are republicans reacting to this . So far, the republican president ial candidate, she has sort of dismissed at she has said that the she has sort of dismissed at she has said that the department she has sort of dismissed at she has said that the department of she has sort of dismissed at she has said that the department ofjustice, | said that the department ofjustice, she doesnt trust the Department Of Justice and shes repeated that unsubstantiated claim that we hear donald trump sow the time that the department ofjustice has been weapon eyes, she alleges that the biden family is a crime family and so forth. Its worth repeating that hunter biden and President Biden himself have denied any wrongdoing. But there are a lot of republicans that arent fans of david weiss. There is a super pack that is connected to a donald trump which is basically said to quote them, the fix is in, and they have expressed scepticism at david weiss himself. Hes been investigating as we just said, hunter biden for about five years now. So far, there has never been any evidence or anything of the sort to implicate President Biden and many republicans do think there is some connection, to stress again theres never been any evidence uncovered and President Biden himself has denied any wrongdoing. They do want to ask you about that other case that we were following a little bit earlierjust to mention that the former president , mr trump is facing the indictment into the january six riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. We saw this hearing about what he can and cannot say in the judge ruling there. What he is able to say about this case . Its ruling there. What he is able to say about this case . About this case . Its kind of a mixed results, about this case . Its kind of a mixed results, really. About this case . Its kind of a mixed results, really. So about this case . Its kind of a mixed results, really. So itsl about this case . Its kind of a | mixed results, really. So its a partial win for Donald Trumps team in thatjudge has basically said anything that the Department Of Justice thinks is sensitive, whatever they designate sensitive, trump team cant touch it in terms of talking about it publicly. But the judge also cited with donald trump
