BBC World Service - Newshour, Hawaii wildfire: State orders investigation

Some residents return home to Lahaina to assess damage

Hawaii's attorney general has ordered an investigation into the handling of devastating wildfires which are now known to have killed at least eighty people. The authorities are facing growing questions about whether they could have done more to warn residents on the island of Maui.

Also in the programme: England captain Harry Kane is on the move; and reggae music from Japan.
