Sixty-seven dead in Hawaii wildfires

BBC World Service - Weekend, Sixty-seven dead in Hawaii wildfires

Hundreds reported missing in Hawaii wildfires

The Hawaii wildfires death toll has risen to 67, making it the deadliest natural disaster in the state's history. Hundreds more have been reported missing and the toll may still rise. It comes as some Lahaina residents are being allowed to briefly return home on Friday to take stock of the damage to their fire-ravaged town. 

Also in the programme: Disney’s financial problems; and the benefits of walking. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Alex von Tunzelmann, a British historian, film and TV scriptwriter; and Samuel Ramani, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute defence and security think-tank here in London.
