About 50 people were rescued, and some were taken to hospital in a serious condition. A number of people were seen being carried off the lifeboat on stretchers when the vessel docked in dover. French Officials Say six people have died. The mp for calais gave us this update. Around 65 to 70 people were on these boats, 50 people were rescued by the french authorities, five people were found dead at sea, one died at the hospital. And we are still missing ten people. The home secretary Suella Braverman posted this message on social media, saying her thoughts and prayers were with those affected by the tragic loss of life. She is expected to chair a meeting with Border Force Officials later today. On thursday, 755 people crossed the channel, the largest daily figures so far this year. And more than 100,000 have made the journey since the crossings began in earnest in 2018. Once again, the channel, one of the most dangerous and busiest Shipping Lanes in the world, has proved to be deadly for migrants. Ijust want i just want to take you to some live pictures in calais. That is the french Secretary Of State, visiting to talk to some of the teams involved in the Rescue Operation after that migrant boat disaster. He is Shaking Hands and meeting some of the rescuers there. See if we can listen in and see if we can hear something. We dont seem to have sound but that is the scene in calais. That is what is going on, live pictures of the french Secretary Of State of the sea meeting people involved in the migrant Rescue Operations. More on that story. Simonjones is at dover, with this update on the story. In terms of the sequence of events, a passing ship actually spotted a Boat Carrying migrants in difficulty, it was reported that the people on board were trying to bail out water using their shoes. An Emergency Response was activated, several lifeboats were sent to the scene and by the time they arrived it was a pretty catastrophic picture. You had numerous people were in the Water Screaming for help. Rescuers did what they did. One person was airlifted to hospital in calais where they were later pronounced dead. Five other bodies were taken to shore by the lifeboat and the survivors, around 40 50 people were brought here to dover and also on the other side of the channel in calais. What is concerning for the authorities is, speaking to rescuers, they say, over the past week this is the seventh time that people have been pulled from the water. There is a fear that the smugglers who are organising these crossings perhaps have a defective batch of boats and that is putting lives at risk. In terms of the Rescue Operation, that is continuing out in the channel because these boats are often dangerously overloaded and it can be difficult to know exactly how many people are on board. Authorities are continuing to scour the water in case there could be any more survivors or more bodies. 0ur correspondent reporting from dover a little bit earlier. What you are seeing now, live pictures from calais where the french Secretary Of State of the sea is visiting to talk to teams involved in the Rescue Operation after the migrant boat disaster. There are people still missing so that is the Secretary Of State of the sea Shaking Hands and meeting some of the Rescue Operation team. Andrew geddes director at the Migration Policy Centre at the European University institute, told us the main Stumbling Block was the lack of effective co operation between the british and french authorities. The fact that this is continuing as an indication that up to now, a failure of cooperation. There have been frequent attempts over recent years for french and british authorities to Reach Agreement on a more effective means of policing the channel, stopping people from embarking on these dangerous journeys but we are not seeing the results of that. So, this is an indication of failure of cooperation and the need for reinforced corporation to stop this tragedy recurring. What would that corporation look like . The mp for dover, natalie elphicke, said that this incident highlighted the need forjoint patrols on the french coast to stop migrants leaving there to come to british shores in the first place. What is your response to that . There is no magic solution, no one single measure can resolve what is a very complex issue. There would need to be increased cooperation on security to prevent people making these journeys. There could also be attempts in france to process people, there may be people who have legitimate claims for protection, unaccompanied children or people who clearly need protection, things could be done to protect them so they are not exposed to these risks. There are a number of things that could be done, as well as measures to enhance security cooperation, but also to ensure people who need protection are able to secure that protection either in france or the uk. Given that despite the dangers of crossing the channel on small boats, people still do continue to risk their lives travelling from france to britain in this way, do you think that anything that the french authorities or british authorities do will be able to effectively stop that . I think there are measures that could be done to reduce the problem we are experiencing, the frequency at which these tragedies are occurring, for most people is unacceptable and something needs to be done to stop it. We are also seeing, we can put it in a wider european context, we are seeing increased arrivals across the mediterranean, more people trying to cross the channel, this is becoming a europe wide issue that requires stronger cooperation between european countries. There isnt some miraculous solution that people, often motivated by persecution or economic hardship, they are unlikely to stop making these migratoryjourneys. The situation in europe at the moment is becoming untenable, there is a clear need for stronger and more effective cooperation. Speaking to me earlier, the director of the Migration Policy Centre at the European University institute. You are currently seeing live images from calais where rescue teams are lined up for the visit of the Secretary Of State for the sea. He is visiting teams and is due to hold a Press Conference shortly. That is the scene at calais with the teams from the Rescue Operations after the migrant boat disaster. We will return to that story later. To hawaii now where the number of People Killed by wildfires on the island of maui, has now risen to 80. Its the us states deadliest ever natural disaster. This is Drone Footage from the all but destroyed town of lahaina. As you can see, structures are completely levelled trees stripped the devastation reaching all the way to the shoreline. Hawaiis Attorney General has begun a probe into how authorities responded to the fires, after some residents said they received no warning. 0ur North America correspondent, Sophie Long Reports from maui. The historic city of lahaina, once 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 states history, and the number of those who died is still climbing. This was lahainas historic seafront, now reduced to ashes. Bustling streets and shops all razed to the ground. But its 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 theyre 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 to meeting it. The only [and route to those most in need has been blocked. As road access to lahaina was opened and people started to make their way back to see what if anything remains, hawaiis governor urged people to prepare themselves to witness destruction like theyve never seen. Vic said his family were here on holiday from california. Caught by the flames, they almost lost their lives. We left our vehicle and myself, my wife and our five kids, we all got in the ocean. We found a floating board that we hung on to. And we were out there, floating. And this is so surreal. And everything was burning around, explosions, cars blown up. Even the worlds 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 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 was absolutely tragic. Now they are 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 its hard for some to even think about that with so many unaccounted for and unrecovered. Captain vince carter runs a helicopter tour company, air maui. Earlier he told us about the moment he realised just how devastating the fires were. We knew there were fires there previously the night before. We had been having fires on the island previously, so there was already five or six fires burning through the night. We knew the power was out on the other side there, if so there was no word coming back through the night of the destruction, of what had really happened there. I went to work in the morning, we had a Helicopterfired Up and we went to see what was going on over there. As we turned the corner around the mountain from the airport, you could see the smoke rising from the city, from the former city, and as we got a little closer, there was a small bit of hope because there was some southeast condos that were still intact, but then quickly, as you looked up, you could see about half of that complex was gone and everything past that, as you are able to see through the smoke, was gone. That was the point where i believe we were the first civilians to see the extent of the damage and you could tell immediately everything was gone. I mean, 85 of the place is down to the ground. There was a pit in your stomach knowing that this is just the tip of the spear losing buildings, losing property, the way that the winds were blowing 70mph that night. We got word later that the fire was moving at aomph, about 60ft a second, about 20m a second, so it was just heartbreaking to see that. As we were passing by the marina, you could see there were boats still on fire. If you want to have a quick wonder of what they destruction could be, the wooden slits of the docks were gone. So were talking things that were floating on water, it was so hot that those were [it on fire. As we passed through, flying by the entire length of lahaina, front street is water, the entire street was down to the ground and having an intimate familiarity with that, i flew tours over there, i was there just a couple of days prior to the fire, we know all the things down there, its a very small, quaint place. There are art galleries, theres an original Salvador Dali work in a gallery with rembrandt also.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Good afternoon. With low pressure nearby for yet another weekend, theres more wet weather in the forecast, mostly in the form of showers such as here in cornwall, where we have a towering cumulonimbus cloud, but also sunny spells in between. Surfs up towards coastal areas in particular with a Brisk Southwesterly wind, dry and brighter toward Southeast England and east anglia. Sunshine and showers set to continue for much of the rest of the weekend but also a quieter looking day for most of tomorrow. Here is that deep area of low pressure moving very slowly further eastwards as we head through today. Tighter isobars across northwest wales, gusts up to 40mph here. Elsewhere, up 30mph to 40mph with a Brisk Southwesterly and it is blustery for this time of the year. Sharp showers around moving through quickly on that brisk wind. Sharp and thundery across eastern scotland, northeastern england and through the midlands. Dryer across east anglia through the afternoon with temperatures getting as high as 21t degrees. Through this evening, a lot of those showers will fade away, leaving dry weather with bright spells. Showers continue across scotland with lows of 12 into tomorrow morning. Some of us will start sunday with the areas of cloud but that will break up again giving sunny spells. A quieter looking day but with showers feeding into Northern Ireland and Western Scotland particularly through the afternoon. Another system approaching the Far Southwest of england and western wales. A quieter looking day with more sunshine, temperatures around 22. Heading through sunday night, this rain is likely to move into wales in central Southern England into monday morning, then moving further northwards and eastwards. The showers fading away across scotland and Northern Ireland through monday and may stay dry here. It could stay dry for Southeast England and east anglia through the day on monday too but then that system moves away, drawing in warmer feeling air from the south, so High Pressure dominates particularly toward southern areas as we head through next week.
