Maui’s new message to tourists

It's been about a month since the Lahaina wildfire broke out on Maui, and now the local community is facing another hardship: a severe economic downturn.
The big picture: Most of Hawai'i's residents depend on tourism to pay the bills. With the drop in travel to Maui, locals and government officials are now urging people back.

Plus, a new era for Airbnb.

And, the latest from Ukraine and Blinken's surprise visit to Kyiv.
