wherever you are in this world so happy
to be here with you and hope it's a
terrific Tuesday too I'm Coy wire
welcome to CNN 10 where we whip you
through the top headlines and fuel your
mind with some thought-provoking stories
from around the world we start today
with the news happening on the Hawaiian
island of Maui the deadliest wildfire in
the United States and more than 100
years Lahaina an area on Maui known for
its historic City Center was almost
entirely destroyed and the devastation
is so bad it looks like a war zone
Flames have destroyed many of the homes
and businesses and emergency workers are
racing against time to rescue missing
people when we recorded our show nearly
100 people had died from the wildfires
and there were warnings that that number
could increase in the coming days before
the Wildfire on Maui began a moderate
drought covered more than one-third of
the island making it more susceptible to
fire in addition Hurricane Dora a
category 4 storm over the Pacific
increased wind on the island and caused
wildfires to spread around Maui more
rapidly other factors compounded the
danger on the island roadblocks forcing
fleeing drivers onto one narrow downtown
Street this created a bottleneck of
traffic that was quickly surrounded by
flames on all sides and when the fires
began emergency Sirens that were created
to warn people to seek shelter and
evacuate from the Flames well it didn't
sound instead local government used a
series of social media posts that reach
a smaller number of people the state is
now going to launch a formal review to
try to figure out why the emergency
Sirens were not activated especially
because they were created for these
types of circumstances
there will be an estimated 6 billion
dollars in damage thousands of people
have been evacuated or displaced some
having lost everything search CNN impact
your world for more information on how
you can help we'll continue to keep you
updated right here on CNN 10 let's go
now to Chief climate correspondent Bill
Weir who's on the ground in Maui the
trees that you guys see behind you right
here this was all from the tornado they
came through no we've never even seen a
tornado in Hawaii
in a place so familiar with weather
extremes wow it's crazy Maui locals have
never seen anything like The Firestorm
that obliterated Lahaina
it's our little like smaller of the
smoke and we're like wow like the house
had survive and now there's a little
brush fire and then within like five
minutes the whole thing was in goldfish
went up the plane really there's nobody
there to put anything out we're just
pulling into Lahaina now just getting
our first Glimpse at this town after
hearing these nightmare stories
and it is worse than you can imagine it
looks like a World War II set like a
bombing off here
just utter Scorch Devastation everywhere
melted boats in the harbor what was once
the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii and
one of the most well-preserved towns in
the nation is Ash including Bill
Weiland's famous art gallery and he says
he escaped the flames on his
Harley-Davidson riding around evacuees
trapped between fire and ocean Pat I
took the car instead of motorcycle I've
been with everybody else jumping in the
water it was it was I mean it was Flames
were shooting over the top coming at I
didn't want to look behind me because I
knew they were behind me and there's
nowhere to go you're pinned between just
pinned and that's what happened in the
ocean that's what happened to all the
people I think is all those cars that
were sitting waiting for someone to move
in front of them no one was moving
anywhere you were you were dead in the
water this is the historic
Banyan Tree 150 year old Majestic tree
at the center
of Lahaina Town it looks like it may
have survived it needs water desperately
to survive right now but for the locals
who are coming down and looking at the
damage this is such a sign of hope that
maybe their iconic tree
will have lived when so much else is
gone here but the history can never be
replaced right here this is the first
hotel in Hawaii the Pioneer Hotel
Pioneer theater
it's completely gone
right over here was the library it's
just now a stone shell
of scorched blocks around Front Street
there fleetwoods Mick Fleetwood of the
band Fleetwood Mac his place is gutted
out with flames
it's just unrecognizable
one of the most Charming beloved port
cities anywhere in the world is just
scorched like a bomb went off
10 second trivia Acra is the capital
city of what African nation Angola Ghana

Western Africa translating to warrior
king
[Music]
Let's Travel to Ghana now to meet one of
our CNN Heroes after watching many
family members and neighbors struggle
with access to basic health care they
decided to make it their life's mission
to bring Medical Care to remote
communities in Ghana through his
doctor's office on Wheels now their Hope
Health ban has served more than 4 000
people in the community
in Ghana many people don't have access
to health care
we've designed the van like a clinic
when we are traveling especially in long
distances there's a lot of potholes
there have been a lot of times where our
car got stuck in the mud this is our
daily experience
sometimes because of the poor Network we
can get home as late as 12 A.M
we bring Healthcare to the doorsteps of
Rural and underserved communities in
Ghana
good
I grew up in a very small community in
Ghana
we grew up where people had to work
several miles to go to the nearest
hospital which is located in the urban
areas
there were a lot of people who lost
their allies due to diseases that could
have been easily prevented or at a
birming managed early screenings wasn't
an option for us
I lost my grandmother and my auntie my
grandmother was a very big part of my
life it was very hard when we lost her
and it was due to something that could
have been easily prevented that is the
painful part this is my family
and I said that once I come off age I'm
going to ensure that people have access
to health care
I took my education very seriously so in
2016 I got I mean a scholarship to study
at Cornell and really learned about how
diseases affect the human body
I realized that these people don't have
the luxury of time the food that they
put on the table is determined by what
they sell in the market if I tell them
to go to the hospital there was no way
they are going to go thank you all so
much for coming it's gonna be a long day
so then I had to think like how do I
bring Health Care to them
and that was the birth of the mobile
Health van
so we just arrived at one of the rural
communities that we've been working with
currently we are setting up our ppes
disinfectant taking out our Diagnostics
and also medications
90 to 95 everyone that comes through has
one health issue or the other
and the first person that meet is our
operation director also he will collect
the demographics like name age and then
the person will move on to the nurse the
nurse will collect the vitals and once
the nurse is done the patient will move
on to the doctor
we've been to communities where they
haven't seen a doctor before literally
they haven't been to the hospital before
seeing how the moms their fathers their
grandmothers the children are really
excited and really grateful
words cannot describe the feeling that
you get providing care for someone who
otherwise wouldn't be alive if your
mobile Health van wasn't there
