We find out what's been happening in Hawaii since the deadly wildfires

We find out what's been happening in Hawaii since the deadly wildfires.

Residents in Hawaii say they had no official warning before they fled for their lives, raising difficult questions about the effectiveness of the emergency response and whether more people could have been saved. We get the latest and speak to a woman from Maui who happened to be visiting relatives in the US during the fires.

Floods and landslides in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh have killed dozens of people; others are feared trapped in the ruins of a temple. Local officials have warned the population to stay at home with more heavy rainfall expected. Schools and offices remain closed. We speak to a journalist in India.

Niger's military junta has announced plans to prosecute deposed President Mohamed Bazoum for high treason and undermining national security. Our colleague with BBC Monitoring explains. 

We explain who is Javie Milei, the far-right populist, who has come first in the presidential primaries in Argentina.

Paris St-Germain have agreed a deal to sell Brazil forward Neymar to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. We get reaction from football fans.
