for me to mila in mozambique, scrap it all. the us authorities have issued evacuation orders for about a 100000 people in the los angeles area where it wildfire is a burning out of control. 5 people have died and more than a 1000 buildings destroyed cruz attacking at least 6 fires in the sand to this county. the latest is in the hollywood hills where mandatory evacuation order is in place. authorities say strong winds are fueling the flames. present. joe biden has cancelled an official visit to it's laser focused on the responses offered federal assistance and the national guard has been destroyed. official satisfies as some of the worst los angeles has ever experienced. a southern california is continuing to endorse some of the most historic fire conditions on record. the extreme fire

weather, driven by strong and erratic winds and low humidity have ignited multiple fires across our region. the at the is fully committed to continuously monitoring and adapting to the of all the nature of this weather event and stands ready to respond to any additional incidents that may arise. so here here's where those wild are fires, burning the fires and the palisades area is the largest and has sprayed across $6000.00 hatches of land. nearby in nissan, fernando valley and pasadena area fires are also a threatening homes. i'll just here as well, rentals as this update in the community of pacific palisades street after street full of hundreds of firefighters, are battling the places. but it is been difficult to fight the fires from the air with water and flame retardant dropping aircraft because of the dangerous erratic

winds. president joe biden promised federal a fire fire fighting cruise from arizona and nevada. washington and oregon are racing to assist california, hoping to avert an even bigger disaster. rob reynolds, l g 0, pacific palisades, california south speak to lucy sheriff who was forced to meet her home in the pacific palisades neighborhood of assigned jealous and is not joining us live from burbank and california at lucy. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us under the last we went to a friend's house of the bank, which is about 2 miles and from the palisades. and we thought she'd been on standby for another evacuation because a little bit of the fires happening here. right. the pictures we're looking at new scene really look like on the get on that. so we can only imagine what you went through. do you know what's happened to your home?

yes, i went by today. i was lucky enough. i'm john a. so i have a press pos and i could get through. we heard from some neighbors off home and made it through the night, but unfortunately when we arrived today, it was the and i normally just saw the, the burning embers of what was all home. and so i had to call one of my neighbors and tell them that the items were going as well. that was, i'd say about 80 percent of homes that were just gone from my neighborhood. it's completely leveled. there's just nothing. yeah. everything's gone. i'm really sorry for, for that uh for the full, you know, having to lose your home, i imagine is something certainly difficult and most of the people in your neighborhood having to evacuate as well. so, you know, internationally when, when we think about hollywood, you know, for people who are not in the us, but,

you know, when we think about a centralized we think about hollywood, we think about the glitz and glamour. but they are also phone rouble. people living there, you know, to be homeless, people, and i just wanted you to tell us perhaps how you know, they have been affected how they're coping any circumstances. uh. yeah, i mean, even though i live in the parasites, i was, uh, we had a small condo and we went in the middle of all these multi $1000000.00 homes. so they're all, every day people who lives here as well. um we, i'm sure you've seen the footage of of kind of homes being evacuated. i think that a lot of people have gone to the shelters that been set up. well, i haven't been to one myself. i'm fortunate enough. i have a friend that could stay with, but some my neighbors was struggling to find places to stay, especially those with larger families. and it's just been an incredibly traumatic time to everybody. and i think having to go and stay in a shelter,

i know the convention center as i put in downtown, even trying to get that would be pretty hellish because the roads in some places, it just squared lots cuz everybody's kind of can cause us about 6 wild fires now across the city. so people just starting really know us 10. yeah. and the local authorities. i mean we, we've heard the man say that this is the worst. that's, that he's ever been in los angeles. what has the response been like from the authorities? it's been mixed when the fiber account and the policy i have. so it was very little information available. i. she went and found a few los angeles police officials to speak to. they had almost not information about what was happening just because the fly was spreading so rapidly . there's also been a massive shortage of firefighters. and again,

because the city is so large and so spread out, you have 5 fights just trying to talk with these places. and they call and talk with them in the way that they usually would because of these high santa ana winds, usually you can protect projects where a wall fire is going to go. so they can surround it and process that it's spreading in every single direction. and it's, i think, be able to ortiz, have to have improved over the cost 12 hours. but at the beginning it was, it was very confusing. nobody knew whether to evacuate or not. i never go, i evacuation message, nor did my partner. so we would just relying on on friends to update us. let's see . thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us about your experience. we of course, wish you the best in, in these difficult uh, circumstances. again, lucy, shy of joining us there from burbank in california, the

the united nation says there's no fuel to operate generators that hospitals across caused by placing the lives of patients and newborns. a grave risk house official say i have one. the few healthcare facilities still able to offer services will be forced to shut down the well. so with program donated to 1000 need is a fuel to nasa hospital in han, eunice, the biggest hospital is in southern gaza, but that's only enough to last 24 hours. doctors without borders has $1.00 to $3.00 hospitals in gaza on the verge of co. sure. that's the nasa hospital lock the hospital and european hospitals are also at risk. the agency says if she will shortage is threatening the lives of patients, including newborn babies. it says incubate is need uninterrupted electricity to power. the ventilator is that provide oxygen to keep the babies alive. the charity says newborns are already extremely vulnerable and transferring them to out of

hospitals would endangered allies. it goes on to say that putting the lives of children at risk like fat is unacceptable. let's get an update from, i'll just here is honey. my mode who's in data bloss, central garza for his honey. what's the latest you are hearing about the situation of these 3 hospitals? the follow with as soon as we arrive to the site here we did a quick tour inside the hospice and it was good to clearly hear the sound of machines. still the thing, but not as much as, as it used to be in the past. a few weeks and we know this sound is going to go sign a very soon and people are relying on these machines are going to be at risk of losing their lives. the fuel costs here at the hospital are really major parts of a lot of the hospitality didn't downsizing on many of the services they in order to provide enough and sufficient use for the other essential department like the i c u

i. we know we turn it off without the few of the i so you would be forced to shut down similar to what happened and not the hospitals. but again, the to the, to 2000 leader, the 200000 leader to work at the needed by the, the, the, the organization needed supplies, including the fuel. now, for the hospital, we're expecting this to increase and we know this nearly depleted fuel for the generators here are jeopardizing the functionality of major and medical equipment. the ventilator is the incubator inside the hospital here, a trip down of shutting. now as the, the problem continues and without any reasonable solution to this without the sufficient the flow of, if your, these health facility will turn more of a graveyard soon. and we know how people are in need of this. it has to sell it to continue operating, even if it's operating at the lowest capacity now, but they need it to continue to sustain itself in order to save life. honey,

thank you very much for bringing us and ages there from guys a honey my mode. the us secretary of state johnson, a blinking will meet the foreign ministers, solves the u. k. finds germany and italy in rome on thursday to discuss serious future the meeting is meant to align their strategies, but is, did somebody get is a james based report from damascus? questions remain about whether western countries plans will match those a serious you administration, a new flag and a new hope for the future. the wall. the international community is showing a willingness to engage with a new syria. it's not yet in pricing in the german and french foreign ministers last week. the highest level visitors to damascus since the full of the sides,

families, brutal room for the new administration. perhaps the biggest issue on the table is the lifting of the publishing sanctions sufficient time to get into the democratic era. so if we do with no pep rally, we will get the lead pennies, the product of the situation, or the 2 eastern situation. they have failed in to apply democratic that you have followed the diplomacy. a former syrian pieces negotiate to says the international community is right to use. it simply means to keep things on a democratic pause, but they must be careful not to hurt the syrian people in the process. i know they're doing that kettles and stick a pro us, which is fine. but of those things that can compare us with other countries, celia is very special countries back in 2015. that was the un security council resolution called 2254. it seems a long time ago. why is that?

in your view still important? it's very important because facility please, we need to keep protect the constitution, the election, the so as it should, the government budget. this is important for the cd piece of fights is still on the streets of the capital. but that has been a month of relative stability income. the terms formation of this country in such a short period of time has been amazing. but there is still great challenges ahead . and they're only going to be solved with patient detailed and very difficult negotiations. yes, with the international community, but most importantly, among the syrians themselves. j space out as era, damascus, one is and i'll speak to sometimes barrow cats about this is professor of public policy at home and being highly for university and joins us here in the studio. good to have you with us again. so kind as we hear from james saying his report, serious so facing a lot of challenges a month on from this new administration taking place and, and we seen

a flurry of wisdom to film this year for us. what do you think syria needs the most right now most urgently from these, you know, western countries and you know, the international community as a whole? well, i think they need a good level of engagement that leads to an under comment understanding between the 2 sides. it is a queue that everyone is happy to see a side gun. now we need to work together the international community, the syrians that have neighbors to ensure that whatever the, the shutter i brought to the table can now take root and develop the logic the, the issue, i think the problem is with the west is that they've, them they've got a set of objectives that they cannot really, didn't really undermine by what was going on in gaza. so they're not taking them seriously because they understand that there's a handbook receipt. they're trying now to cover your bigger demand around issues of

global. so freaking out security by claiming human rights is important, democracy is important, representation is important. so it's, it's quite a complex moment. you say there's no way just to have dialogue straight, right? you say they're not taking them the serious useful time, but at the same time then they do need the sanctions to be lifted. right? so where is the middle ground? how? how do they engage with them while also protecting their own interests? while the $22.00 types of functions are sanctions against the group as a, as a listed as a periscope. and those are things that quite complicated to left at the moment because the require russians approval and they have to be done at the level of security council. then we have the bi lateral sanctions imposed by the united states that you'd have been countries against trade with celia, but also some secondary sanctions from the u. s. and as anyone else trading with. so yeah. now within those, there are areas that obviously they should not be considering immediately like lifting sanctions on military supplies,

weapons and so on. but there are areas to do with few food, etc. it says in the interest of the west to tackle it carefully because you do not want to push the diesel goes too far. with sanctions in the mean globally, they have a limit to how effective they can be of sort a certain to the level of pressure the become come to productive because the government under sanctions will look elsewhere to release it. so the pressure on, i say economy, and in the case of syria, i mean, everyone is happy that they turn their back to the around. you don't want them to go back in that direction. you don't want them to go back to russia. so it is in the international uses interest to come to a combination to as soon as possible the, the, you mentioned the americans in us defense secretary, the outgoing one, any way has said that the us needs to keep troops deployed in syria to, to prevent iso from from regrouping which we know the trump administration didn't

want any more troops to be remaining in syria and the coming back to power. and we know that these us forces, by the way, how i have worked with the with know the kurdish lead s d f in syria. how will this new administration take this blood by, on and off. so i will, will, you know, they agree to this continued presence on the us. so i think in principle they want to ensure the total integrity of student.
