flared up and just went quick and those firemen god bless them stood on my parents' deck here and fought off the fire from their house the state of california is under siege from north to south high winds and bone dry trees and brush have fueled deadly wildfires this week california has experienced the most obvious of destructive fires that we've seen hands history over one hundred ninety six thousand acres burned. thousands of homes and thousands of lives lost everything depends on the wind a calm day can give firefighters a chance to contain the blazes but there are no calm days in the immediate forecast we have to keep understanding it better but we're in a new have normal and things. like this will be part of our future and this will be the beginning it will be things like this and worse oped village where lawn

bush al gore presidential race of course all the rest is history now but bush ended up winning the state of florida by less than six hundred votes and that was enough to get him into the white house and now we're seeing another recount in florida both republicans and democrats are accusing each other of foul play in stuffing the ballot boxes and trying to extend the election or change the results or what have you but the bottom line is this is a recount of all of the votes there between the senate race between republican rick scott who got fifty point zero percent and bill nelson the democrat who got in there he nine point nine percent of the vote only about ten to twelve thousand vote difference there are more than eight million votes cast in the governor's race as well the republican also holds a narrow narrow lead he has forty nine point six percent of the vote to andrew gillum the democrat forty nine point two so you can see how tight these races are

and that's why the recount of the votes is happening beginning on sunday expected to last at least five days but it's going to be a long process it could extend well beyond that memories of the last civil war in ivory coast remain rule for many seventy as all fighting between supporters of rival presidents killed three thousand die of or eons survivors of torture and rape demanding justice while president laurent gbagbo seeks acquittal for crimes against humanity has that story from. the says he was driving home when a policeman pulled him over asked for identification. told him his last name didn't sound ivorian enough to foreign and he was arrested. while in custody he says police spat in his face the beatings turned to torture human rights groups say three hundred fifty seven people arrested like him were killed that same day and dumped in mass graves seven years on debby awaits justice someplace on the other

his wife simone was released from prison in august following the advice to granted by president ouattara which acquitted her of crimes against humanity. despite that the international criminal court is seeking her arrest it's a rare occasion to see inside her home receiving people publicly since her release from prison she's made only a handful of statements calling for peace and reconciliation it's a change of tone from the former first lady. president to our promises justice for all but the work of the truth and reconciliation commission appears to be stalling after it published a report accusing the government of overlooking war crimes allegedly committed by ouattara supporters charges they deny the government says it gave soldiers who staged two mutinies last year twenty six thousand dollars each for supporting what hard during the civil war no compensation has been paid to victims of murder

this is the news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes israeli special forces move into gaza killing at least seven palestinians including a hamas military come on. the u.s. calls for an end to the violence. rising humanitarian crisis. concerns raised in france about the fate of two saudi princes who have not been heard from for ten months. but we're going to do if you get on the. floor and. struggling to survive the u.n. expresses concern about high rates of poverty in parts of the u.k. . and in sport reffer played have the advantage after the first leg of the. final. against arch rivals buckets silencing the home fans as the match finished and dropped.

below israeli troops have killed seven palestinians in gaza including a ham military commander after entering the territory as part of a special forces operation an israeli officer was also killed while another was wounded in han eunice in southern gaza israeli military says it intercepted three out of seventeen rockets fired from gaza after the operation prime minister benjamin netanyahu has cut short an official visit to france to return to israel stephanie decker is live for us now from west stephanie has been a statement from the brigades. that's right to some the last half hour or so because some brigade saying with their version of events is which does correlate to what the israelis are saying in the sense that they're admitting it wasn't a targeted killing. saying that they stopped a vehicle

a car with the israeli commandos who were undercover as palestinians they became suspicious they called their commander which is the commander you mentioned among the killed nor baraka who came to the scene a fire fight ensued we're not sure who fired first then according to the statement the israeli commandos fled towards the border on foot with the kasam fighters in pursuit they were then evacuated by an israeli chopper under the cover of airstrikes it's an extraordinary statement in the sense of an admission saying that seven of its fighters were killed in this operation but i think the bigger picture here is this there seems to be still even though it was such a serious event a will to deescalate we've had no rockets in the last nine or ten hours or so there's been no airstrikes both sides saying this wasn't a targeted killing of course if that were confirmed that has the potential to escalate it is a fragile truce but talks very much ongoing behind the scenes particularly

spearheaded by egypt to calm the situation to get back to where we were yesterday which is some movement having been made when it comes to easing the humanitarian situation in gaza cash going in more power going in for a long time truth so we have to wait and see how things develop but at the moment hasn't everything pointing to things remaining calm yes so so what should we read from the timing of this stephanie with as you say these efforts towards a truce and to. deal with the blockade and ease that blockade somewhat. it's extremely unfortunate timing i think people will tell you that these kinds of operations covert operations intelligence gathering is carried out by israel quite often they just we just never hear about them because that's the nature of these kinds of security intelligence operations this is one that seems to have gone very wrong and it seems to have gone very wrong at a crucial time when finally there was some palpable change on the ground as i mentioned

they're you know injecting cash the cut that is bringing fifteen million dollars of cash into gaza this weekend to pay the salaries of civil servants which have been slashed for more than a year really also an increase in power so both sides are still keen to hold to this house wants to keep the money flowing this is a six month project it wasn't a one off payment hasn't and also the israelis the political establishment here has been warned by the intelligence by the military by the united nations that the humanitarian situation in gaza at the moment is not sustainable they need to be allowed to breathe or else there will be an explosion so this is also why the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was you know was was defending the money he allowed to go in to pay the civil servants because he said that the humanitarian situation needs to be addressed it's a complicated issue but i think at the moment reading between the lines of what was a very serious event last night there is a relative calm that's prevailing it is calm and i think everyone will tell you

that that indicates that both sides do not want to escalate this further stephanie deca live for us there in west jerusalem will james brains joins us live now from paris where there are u.n. secretary general there's been visiting the french capital and speaking we understand with the french president there expressing concern about his well what are we hearing from them. well that meeting is about to take place i think it's worth telling you first here at the leeds a proud as the residence of the french president they were supposed to be having a meeting with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that was on the schedule until late last night he was supposed to be meeting president macro van't meeting was canceled because the israeli prime minister because of what happened has returned overnight to tell of even then to jerusalem to hold a meeting as stephanie was saying later on the soft

a new note with his senior ministers and senior generals so the focus is on another meeting which is about to start in the next few moments and that's a meeting with the french president and the secretary general of the united nations and tonio could terrorists i can tell you some other senior u.n. officials are already here including the head of political affairs from the united nations i think they are probably a little happier smalling than they were a few hours ago remember that the united nations has been warning for some time nickel i'm latin offers a special coordinator for the united nations based in jerusalem has been warning for some time that they could be another conflict if full scale conflict in gaza the u.n. security council has heard those warnings the u.n. security council hasn't taken a great deal of action on that on this and that's i think because of the position of the united states which has said really you got away the u.s.

is coming up with a peace plan for the whole of the israeli palestinian conflict which of course is the brainchild of jared cushion up who is the president's son in law and we wait for that plan but obviously we don't have anything as yet all right for the moment james may's life there in paris. kiva eldar is a senior columnist at all moniteur he joins us live via skype now from tel aviv thanks very much for being with us so i mean shouldn't hearing first of all what you make of the timing of this attack this israeli operation. actually i believe that the timing is. the worst one that anyone could anyone i mean both the palestinians and the israelis would make up for netanyahu as was just mentioned he was celebrating in paris he had

a good press conference yesterday. he is not interested in embury seeing the qataris who were just offering to help with fifteen million dollars well it's not a lot of money but still there's something for him this is also an opportunity to put a rift between comus and the policy in your story tiamat's in which is the best way to block any pro progress in the peace process for him the priest process is not a blessing it's actually a threat because he has enough problems at home with police offices of visiting him and the turner general about to submit. an indictment at least one against him after the submariner first so an attorney i think that it looks like an accident not even as an assassination attempt somebody

in the army had probably a different agenda different time line for this operation that looks like more than you know like an attempt to collect information intelligence then. targeted assassination they know how to do it they know much better how much popularity to set benjamin netanyahu still enjoy in israel despite those domestic problems that you talked about and as long as he still enjoys a great deal of popularity is that really going to change the situation between power with palestinians. you know there was a report yesterday on television in the channel that in a private discussion with a friend netanyahu says that he would be willing to turn over the keys to someone else but the problem is that he doesn't see anyone who can do the job

that anyone is around is not. capable of succeeding him and this is if you're asking me is what the average israeli would say that you know we don't like nathaniel's so much we don't like the corruption around him but there is nobody else that we can trust not in the coalition not in the likud because netanyahu you know made every effort to avoid anyone else to emerge and not in the opposition so it looks like that and they say oh is the most popular fallback leader in the world to get your thoughts on this eldar joining us there from to restring thanks so much violence now the u.s. has renewed its call for an end to hostilities in yemen some reports say at least one hundred fifty people have been killed in the past twenty four hours street
