BBC World Service - Weekend, Hundreds reported missing in Hawaii

Hawaii wildfires are US state’s deadliest ever natural disaster

At least sixty-seven people have been killed in wildfires in Hawaii. It's the US state's deadliest ever natural disaster. Residents of Lahaina are being allowed to return for the first time. Only those with proof of residency or a hotel reservation are being permitted entry. 

Also in the programme: a mysterious totem pole; and concerns of corruption in Ukraine. 

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.
