At least 36 dead as Hawaii fires devastate island of Maui – BBC News

At least 36 people have died on the Hawaii island of Maui, as devastating fires swept across the land.

People were reportedly forced to flee the flames by jumping into the ocean, with the US Coast Guard rescuing at least a dozen people from the waters.

Authorities say it's too early to know the extent of the damage, but at least 270 buildings have been destroyed.

Efforts to bring the fires under control continue, but flames, fanned by hurricane winds, have reduced large parts of the historic town of Lahaina to rubble.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, speaking at the Nato summit described these actions as a threat to “Japan, the region and the international community” following the missile landing in Japanese waters.

North Koreans tell BBC they are stuck and waiting to die - BBC News

Three North Koreans want to tell the world about the situation in the country.

They expose, for the first time, the disaster unfolding there since the government sealed the borders more than three years ago starvation, brutal crackdowns and no chance to escape.

Under the tyrannical rule of Kim Jong Un, North Koreans are forbidden from making contact with the outside world.

A spokesperson for the North Korean government has disputed the claims, which they said were “not entirely factual”.
