Washington Correspondent

President Biden has said he’ll visit the site of the catastrophic wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui next week.

Just two of the 106 people known to have died there have been named today. They are Robert Dyckman who was 74, and 79-year-old Buddy Jantoc. The authorities say three others have been identified but won’t be named until their families have been told.
