  • There are still some 850 people missing from the wildfire on the Hawaiian island of Maui, according to Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen, according to the BBC. The number of confirmed dead is 114. It’s been nearly two weeks since catastrophic fires destroyed most of the city of Lahaina on west Maui. Bissen said Monday that the announcement of the 850 missing was to some extent “positive news”, as there were more than 2,000 missing immediately after the fire. “Our lives have been forever changed,” Bissen says in a video posted on social media. /ritzau/
  • Former U.S. President Donald Trump will surrender himself to authorities at Fulton county jail in Georgia on Thursday, Trump wrote this on his social media site, Truth Social, after CNN reported on the story earlier in the day. “I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be arrested,” Trump wrote. Prosecutors in Georgia last week indicted Trump on 13 counts in connection with a case of attempted tampering with the results of the November 2020 presidential election.
