and more than 1100 homes have been destroyed and the worst while fires to hit the country in a decade. the deadliest fires occurred and the central, both price or region, the popular tourist destination on the pacific coast. blazes are being driven by summer, heat wave and drought influenced by the new weather phenomena. a seriously close call as people run for their lives firefighters. try to evacuate as many residents as possible. gimme to in a matter of minutes when the fire was already here, it was smoke, the sky turned black. everything was dark. the wind felt like a hurricane, but it was like being unhealthy and get high temperatures on dry conditions are fueling display causing the deadliest i break of

forest fires. and sheila, in a decade the president flew over some of the most devastated areas on saturday. he warned just the danger still to come but little bundle. if you receive a message to evacuate, even if you believe the fire is far away, they do not hesitate to go somewhere. nicholas, if you've received that message, it's because you have to do it. we want to save lives and protect you with a shuttle threat. the night firefighters tried to quell the flames, but hundreds of homes were completely destroyed. in some areas where the worst of it was over, people returned to what was left of them. some

sifted for belongings in the rubble, while others tried to find pets that were left behind the, as the rescuer struggle to reach the worst effected areas and was adaptable, expected to rise. there's little comfort for those waiting for news of loved ones. the journalist john bartlet is in the region worst hit by the fires near the city of south hurry. so and he gave us an update on the situation there. yeah. so i'm actually in the dependency and now which is the certainly the worst effect area i've seen so far. it's a, an informal assessment, but rose did call get signed and concrete houses which have been completely faced the ground that'd be talking the rest of today. right. the last hour so everybody saying that they keep funding bodies and the beeping police have not been included in the the official best count get upset. don't be concerned that the,

that you didn't know. thirty's, they say at least to be quite slight that the meeting that is, is the director. they said they found the phone and so it's actually called previously it. so you know that the death toll us quite staggering. dozens of people have died and over $200.00 are reported to be still missing. were people not warned in time? so it's interesting. judy has a very advanced and quite a quite jo system. he said he wouldn't even speak to keep the quakes. the country goes to church, praying to wait till then i so i think he should not just let in some cases so he does have this system in place, but then the people like to see here the light came through about 6 pm on friday night night. people say that i was just faulty, like i come to them and not far from where i am now. just study on he told me that she, she received the run out of the house so you could see flame. glad at the end of the the end of the street. so i think that the, the of the system did was because it did, but it seems like people received it too late and that wasn't exactly sure what the

guy, what, whether it should be like you like it. it's summer and ceiling now. and it's, you know, it's quite hot, it's very dry. obviously. what do we know about the cause of this fire? or the president is being unequivocal. actually in thing that's a bad, don't you have a good criminal proceeding proceedings produced investigations. find out where this came from, the same, but seem to think 4 or 5 individual points for the 5 south the southeast from which that seem to point to that thing stuck then tenchi is more than likely it's for the all right, let's do 2 different conversations we had further down the line and we have more evidence to both the priest, what we well actually has happened, but it does seem to be that. let's see. so yeah, let me re evidence that then no say there's a huge drought to the moment and surely we just have to study this january on record. and then you know, go about more than a 100 years. it's an el nino year flow introduction saying that you get it pretty quickly. that'd be high temperatures and don't see more rain for them to be to say

it. so i'm usually i think our whole year as well. and i think that like the ground for the high wind stipulated the way the flames treated different communities. if you think that restated and over a 150 fires have been reported, a 3rd of them now seem to be under control. does that mean from where you are right now, that the worst is over? it's the same smooth. if you look at what's happening now, it's in law, you know, it is clear up the path which ease uh, which some the way it is a lot like that. and then i think people here are quite desperate to have the basic provisions provided the support service, the water and sewage. they would say that the rescue would you be set off too far away. if you could reluctant to leave the production seems to be the state of luke chickens on that as well. so people that i'm willing to meet together, but yeah, i think that the was seems to be over for now. but i mean, it's not as if we had

a huge amount of rain or anything. it's still incredibly dry here. and i think that, you know, this is, this is something that happens every summer is likely to continue whether it's here exactly or, or in a slightly different area. i think of the was a season. so those journalists on bartlett's into life, thank you so much for that update. thank you, robin. let's get you up to speed now and some of the other stories making news around the world today. the people of el salvador are voting in a presidential election that is expected to have the incumbent, a landslide victory. now you will, kaylay is popular despite his author, word tearing policies is credited with eradicating game violence in el salvador after he suspended civil liberties and had over $75000.00 people, arrested without charge of the for his hands are voting and a referendum that good, triple parking fees for larger s u, v.
