Hawaii is facing the "largest natural disaster" in its history, after wildfires ripped through the island of Maui and destroyed most of the beach-front town of Lahaina.

A big freeze previously unknown to science drove early humans from Europe for 200,000 years, but they adapted and returned, new research shows. Ocean sediments from 1.1 million years ago show temperatures suddenly dropped more than 5C, scientists said. They said our early ancestors couldn't have survived as they didn't have heating or warm clothes. Until now, the consensus had been that humans had existed in Europe continuously for 1.5 million years. #History #Science #BBCNews

The number of people killed in the Hawaii wildfires has risen to 53, and police said as many as 1,000 may be missing on the island of Maui.

The lawyers of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan are challenging the decision to jail the former leader over the weekend. Mr Khan is currently in prison, sentenced to three years for not declaring money gained by selling state gifts while he was in office, something the former prime minister denies. The current ruling means Mr Khan will be disqualified from standing in upcoming elections. One of his lawyers said the manner of his arrest and delivery of the verdict on Saturday was "shocking" and that Mr Khan has not been given the right of a fair trial #Pakistan #ImranKhan #BBCNews
