In the last few minutes, we have been told that the search has been called off by the french authorities. Simonjones reports from dover. The sea has claimed several more lives. The french lifeboat had the grim task of bringing five bodies back to shore, a sixth person airlifted to hospital didnt survive. Some of those rescued were taken to dover after lifeboats from the uk joined the search operation. Many of the survivors had been in the sea, screaming for help. Others had been trying to bail out their sinking boat using their shoes. Translation they were in trouble. Some were suffering from seasickness and the boats are quite simply overloaded. They overload the boats and so the boats can no longer move forwards. The last boat was too full. These pictures taken earlier in the week showed just how many people can be crammed into flimsy boats in the worlds busiest shipping lane. The french Authorities Say they will only intervene at sea if a boat gets into difficulty. The mp for dover is calling for a new approach. This is an absolute tragedy today in the channel, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. What we now really need to see is the french stopping these unseaworthy and overcrowded vessels getting into the channel in the first place, and a joint channel security zone. Charities supporting refugees say they have heard calls for change before. Its tragic, isnt it . Weve been here several times in the last few years and nothing changes. Every time were stood here, loss of life in the channel, i we call for this to be a catalyst for change and it never is. And itsjust, its another needless tragedy. Rescuers say this is the seventh time in the past week that people have had to be pulled from the sea. Its raised concerns that the smugglers organising the crossings are perhaps using a defective batch of boats, boats which are already dangerously overloaded, and that is making the crossing even more perilous. Butjust hours after the deaths were confirmed, more people from other migrant boats were being brought ashore, their desire to reach the uk undiminished. The Home Secretary said her thoughts and prayers were with all those affected by the tragic loss of life. Simonjones, bbc news, dover. Our correspondent lisa louis is in calais with the latest on the Rescue Operation. We heard from french authorities earlier that they were alerted by a commercial vessel at 420 local time and dispatch them of their vessels to the site and brought in the two british vessels to bring as many people save to sure as they could. We talked to some of these rescue staff earlier today and they told us it was really a grim scene. They were going there to save lives, but once i got there, the only thing they could do with actually drag dead corpses out of the water. They were really in shock and hoping other events like that will not happen again, but aid workers have been telling a lot of people have been telling a lot of people have been coming to calais over the past three weeks and the estimate there are hundreds of migrants waiting to cross the channel and other dramatic events could happen over the coming weeks again. Liza events could happen over the coming weeks again weeks again. Lisa louis ferres in calais. Weeks again. Lisa louis ferres in calais weeks again. Lisa louis ferres in calais for weeks again.

A french official said more than 60 people were on board 0ur reporter Azadeh Moshiri has been looking at the wider trends in Asylum Applications here in the uk and in europe. The English Channel is one of the busiest and most dangerous Shipping Lanes in the world, and thats because of the hundreds of ferries and tankers that pass through it every single day. And sadly, this latest incident didnt happen in isolation. So lets take a look at the numbers. According to the Uk Home Office in 2022, arrivals in small boats made up 45 of applications. So thats a large number of people making a very dangerous journey. And if you look at the figures in 2022 alone, more than 45,000 people crossed the English Channel in small boats. And since 2018 thats when these numbers started being recorded the government confirmed that there have been more than 100,000 people crossing the English Channel in those small boats. And yet the Uk Border Force says this isnt a record high, not if you take into account people crossing on trains and lorries. And in fact, in 2002 alone, there were more than 100,000 applications. People fleeing places like iraq, somalia, afghanistan, because these numbers are affected by global conflicts around the world. And thats why while in 2010 youll see there was a 20 year low, those numbers picked up again as people started fleeing syria. And because of that fact, because of the fact these numbers are affected by global conflicts, it isnt surprising to see that in 2022, a large proportion of these applications are from people in afghanistan, iran, iraq, syria. Now, there are two surprising things here, and thats that albania makes up the highest number, even though theyre classified as a safe country by the Uk Home Office and by the uk government. But thats why they put into place so many measures to make those figures go down this year, which they have. Ukraine is also not listed here and thats because they benefit from a special visa scheme, which is why the home office didnt put them in this chart. But how do we compare to other countries . Is this a uk problem . Not according to the figures. In 2022, the uk received the fifth highest number of Asylum Applications. Germany was up top with more than 200,000. France, spain, austria followed, and then the United Kingdom. But having said all that, there is one constant, and thats that no matter the danger, people keep trying to reach the United Kingdom and these other countries in hope of a better future. The number of People Killed by wildfires on the Island Of Maui has now risen to 80. Its hawaiis deadliest ever natural disaster. This is Drone Footage from the 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 an investigation into how the 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 land 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. You need one . 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. Sophie long, bbc news, maui. Lets cross to maui and speak to our presenter helena humphrey. What is going on where you are . Most eole who what is going on where you are . Most peeple who are what is going on where you are . Most people who are here what is going on where you are . Ij� if . 3ii people who are here that there is a shelter have lost everything they own. They have escaped with only their lives. Anyone who does have anything remaining is donating it here at this shelter. Books, food, hygiene products, some food for animals, although people saying they were unable to take their animals with them. What we keep seeing time and again his moments when people just embrace. They hug and there is a moment ofjoy and then they break down because they are saying, i didnt expect to see you here. I didnt expect to see you here. I didnt know where you were. Further down, perhaps you can see over my shoulder people out in the open because the shelter is at capacity, people sleeping on inflatable mattresses outside and other people here saying they are unable to find no capacity capacity at shelter, sleeping out in the gardens and other peoples houses,. And the death toll has been climbing, hundreds of people unaccounted for. We are now going towards a tent for missing people, so people able to come here, report their loved one is missing, they feel any police firm, which is given to the sheriff at the end of the night, and they can then scan a qr code with the hope of learning something. The volunteers here saying it is as much about counselling, psychosocial support, hugs, tears, listening to their stories of survival is because they are horrendous, so many people saying they had to run towards the water to escape the flames. We are still seeing some severe injuries. If we can pan over here, you will be able to see the Emergency Red Cross tent and we are not showing it to match to preserve peoples dignity, because people are coming and injured still. There burns to their feet, their likes, their arms as they literally had to run for their lives. 0ther they literally had to run for their lives. Other people across the island now being treated for smoke inhalation, which can also prove deadly. In terms of lahaina, which is not farfrom here, residents yesterday started to go back in, most of them finding nothing at all. 80 of that town is gone. Now we understand more roadblocks up, people arent necessarily able to get back in, and we are hearing from Community Members here there could be concerns about safety with such old historical structure is raised to the ground. Old historical structure is raised to the ground. Old historical structure is raised to the round. ~. , , to the ground. What have people been tellin ou to the ground. What have people been telling you about to the ground. What have people been telling you about the to the ground. What have people been telling you about the alert to the ground. What have people been telling you about the alert system telling you about the alert system in place, because there has been criticism that people did not get any warning at all . And criticism about how prepared the authorities wear for something about how prepared the authorities wearfor Something Like about how prepared the authorities wear for Something Like this . About how prepared the authorities wearfor Something Like this . Old Historical Structures razed. We asked Historical Structures razed. Asked people, after we asked how they are, how did you know to get out . None reported Hearing Sirens or text messages, but they knew to get out because neighbours banged on the door in the middle of the night, one women gathering up her three children and driving for her life. 0ther children and driving for her life. Other people saying they felt this wall of heat coming toward them, so many people here are not receiving any warming. Any warning. How i had experienced wildfires in 2018 hawaii. Flying in, we could see that the earth was brown, drought has been an issue here. 15 of the island completely arid, that combined with the strong winds of Hurricane Dora over the pacific with those warming oceans are led to this absolute disaster we are seeing now. I will say that despite all this devastation, peoples response has been incredible. People talk about this spirit of the hawaiian aloha, of kindness, generosity, that is coming through, people experiencing their darkest day are saying that theyre a strong, we will rebuild. This is one of americas welfare state, it is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and even here we are seeing the impact of Climate Change exacerbating natural disasters one of americas wealthiest states. Disasters one of americas wealthiest states. Disasters one of americas wealthiest states. Thank you for that. Earlier i spoke to todd james, National Spokesperson for the American Red Cross, whos in honolulu. I began by asking him what the Biggest Challenges are for people on the ground right now. For us, the main focus of our work continues to be sheltering, working with our partners, the local and State Government and our nonprofit partners in the area, because weve got to make sure that all of these families who have been displaced have a safe place to stay, have access to food, to medical care, as you heard there, to Crisis Counseling and, of course, knowing that theyve got a safe place to go and until they figure out what their next steps are. Weve had thousands of people coming through the shelters. Weve had over 2900 overnight stays so far, and a lot of folks who are coming into the shelter during the day they can charge their phones, they can get a meal, they can talk to some of the other partners we have in the shelters with us to get information. And if they need to stay, then they know theyre more than welcome to stay with us. So that is our big focus right now. Once its safe and we get the word from officials that we can begin going out, well assist with the Damage Assessment of the area and then well start distributing some of the emergency supplies that families will need when they start the cleaning process. And is it the case that some people havent been reached yet . I mean, were hearing that hundreds are thought to be uncontactable, they� re unaccounted for. Does that mean that they havent been reached . You know, i havent got any direct information. I wouldnt be surprised if there are some difficulties getting hold of some folks. You know, theres a lot of confusion. The infrastructure is down. The communications, electricity, water, all of that is not functioning or barely working in some areas affected by the fire, so that makes it very tough. So im sure the officials are doing all they can. Its still a search and Rescue Operation so thats why theyre restricting access, i believe. But whoever needs shelter, if theres still folks out there and they make their way to our shelter, theyre going to find a welcome arm from a red cross volunteer who will get them settled, get them a meal and make sure they have access to everything they need right now. And whats your assessment of how the medical facilities are coping with the Current Situation . I really havent had the opportunity to take a look or visit any of those myself. I do know our Disaster Health team in the shelter is doing a greatjob. You know, as folks come into the shelter, if they do have burns or injuries, making sure that we take a look at those, treat them immediately if possible, and if it needs further care, then working with the local officials to make sure we get them to where they can get that further care. Todd james from the American Red Cross talking to me a little earlier. Now its time for a look at todays sport with 0llie foster. What a dramatic date has been for the womens world cup.
