2:15 am
really. well it really depends on which side of a very polarized political divide you talk to the government obviously the government of nicolas maduro will say of course they're legitimate that everybody had the opportunity to stand in these municipal elections right across the country this is part of the lecture process which is free and fair a very sophisticated voting system with international monitors watching it and saying that everything was fine if you talk to the opposition especially those opposition candidates who didn't stand in the election who boycotted it they're still angry that the government run the supremes court earlier this year pretty much put an end to the opposition dominated national assembly they say it is not a free and fair electoral process as they shouldn't be standing what nicolas maduro has done in the last couple of hours is said that anyone here those candidates those parties the boycotted the election are now no longer part of the political
2:16 am
landscape which will have repercussions for presidential elections which are scheduled for october next year we're waiting to see how those opposition candidates will respond to that but it certainly has polarized even further divided government which has been in power one way or the other with all the charges first of all and now nicolas maduro for something like eighteen years and it's only now looks as though nicolas maduro with these municipal elections where we've been waiting for the first was to come in has further consolidated his hold on power the collapsing economy there how much has that been an issue in these elections. yeah i mean this is economy is in a very serious state inflation in november was put at close to fifty seven percent this year alone accumulated inflation is over one thousand three hundred percent and it almost difficult very very difficult to comprehend the less you live here
2:17 am

identity and this is a three inch country that you will never see it that you're never to see in the war . during this week's demonstrations israeli forces have been checking i.d.'s carrying out searches. and cracking down on any use of the palestinian flag a national symbol that they refuse to allow in protests in what israel claims is its undivided capital that flag was present in a meeting of palestinian members of the israeli parliament and others looking for ways to respond to the u.s. indorsement of the. the claim goes on is that with the can taking the steps it gains against of the seniors because they succeeded and we want a mother to teach some of the right plans but is still the existence of those tunes the easy route so that they vote with room to continue with the plans the day to day realities of life under occupation here in east jerusalem haven't been changed by don't trumps declaration when it has done is cement
2:34 am
a feeling of stagnation even hopelessness up to more than twenty years of peace process the question now is what kind of a course their leaders will charge and what kind of a hearing they'll get in the wider world. occupied east jerusalem more evacuation orders have been issued in southern california as wind gusts continue to spread a huge wildfire threatening the coastline firefighters are warning the so-called thomas fire near santa barbara could become the worst in the state's history five other fires in the area are now largely under control almost a thousand buildings have been destroyed and one person was killed over the weekend california's governor says devastating wildfires field by climate change are the new normal provenance joins us live from the entire county just north of los angeles so rob where are firefighters concentrating their efforts their works their work right now. well richelle they're trying to build
2:35 am
a kind of a bulwark around two coastal towns one is carpenter rio the other month to seeto. sort of straddling the border between ventura counties and santa barbara county and they're also trying they've got to get that clearly got an eye on santa barbara itself this is one of the larger cities in this area ninety one thousand people a very historic city but i'd like to give you and our viewers just a sense of the scope of this fire fighting to step out of the way here and you can see this mountainside here for kilometers it just is a mass of smoke and occasional fires you can see the orange points of flickering flames which are really many meters high although they look small from this vantage point and it simply goes on and on all the way down into
2:36 am
these remote areas of national forest land where the brush and tree cover is very thick it's very very difficult for firefighters to get in there and get a handle on it so they've been dropping water from helicopters that's been effective to a certain extent but speaking to some of the firefighters here they've told us that the work is extremely backbreaking they're working very very long hours more than eight thousand firefighters on the line right now and as you can probably tell just from looking at this scene behind me the air quality here is just atrocious everyone is wearing face masks and i'm certainly going to put mine back on as soon as i'm finished speaking with you or a show so rob people think of southern california or los angeles county places like that that the celebs the big fancy rich houses that's what comes to mind me and people have talked about that but that's not the majority of southern california
2:37 am
what is being done to help people in the lower income areas to to deal with what's happening to them. well not a lot i have to have to say from what we've been able to find out now for example this is an agricultural area there are fruit fields strawberries there are orchards there's vegetable fields all over this area it's very fertile land and there are a lot of farm workers who literally spend all of their working day out in the the fields and none of them so far have really been issued by any government agency any these breathing apparatus that the kinds of the masks that people are wearing so we encountered today a small group of activists with donated masks handing them out to people on the street corners giving them to older people younger people people who don't have
2:38 am
a lot of income so it's a very difficult choice for for example farm workers rachelle who either they must go out and work to put food on the table and at the same time. choose to breathe in this very toxic air it's a dilemma that is a choice that no one should have to make thank you very much rob qatar has about twenty four typhoon combat aircraft from british defense and aerospace company based systems the six point seven billion dollars deal was signed by british defense minister gavin williamson and the qatari minister of state for it to pence and some call the sale and massive vote of confidence in supporting british jobs and and acting billions into the u.k. economy jets are said to be delivered in late twenty twenty two. as the world observes the u.n. sponsored human rights violations continue to be a major issue and indian administered kashmir scuffles broke out on the streets of
