the hello, i mean, and the rest of the universe, this is out of their life from the also coming up venezuela's opposition, leda and maria corrina machado is received, attain during protests against the swearing in of president, my daughter for a such time the us house of representatives false is a bill to sanction the international criminal court for issuing and arrest warrants for his really officials. often in a 2 years of trying 11 and gets a new president's. we'll look at the task ahead for joseph own, as he takes charge the in pacific palisades, one of the worst affected areas of these fire storms that have hit los angeles. and i'll just step out of the way for a moment so that you can see the extent of what can only be called apocalyptic devastation. you can see the bird, a neighborhoods below the chart of hillsides that are

uh, burnt from the rapids advance of the fire and then sweeping around. you can see the smoke in the air. some places smoke still rising from isolated areas of fire. the whole neighborhoods here, 7000 hector's in this area alone. one of several major fires. and you can see these houses now. there is nothing left that is not made out of stone or brick or steel. it's all destroyed. this was a neighborhood that was very, very desirable, very expensive homes and an established neighborhood that had been here for decades and decades. and now it is simply all gone. this, the same story is true in other parts of loss in to us. besides the palisades in

city of all, the deena also destruction there, there have been a number of deaths and authorities think that that number is likely to increase the good news if you can call it that is that authorities and media are all just say that the wind has dropped instead of the 120 kilometer per hour. gusts that but we were receiving over the past several days. it's gone down to about 95 kilometers. still wendy, but not so wendy. as to cause an absolute virus storm. the winds are expected to decrease over the next several days and then pick up again in the new week coming monday or tuesday. and there is absolutely no sign of any rain in sight. so los angeles is still suffering through an apocalyptic and unprecedented series of fires. and it is not over yet. rob riddles, l g 0 in the pacific palisades,

neighborhood of los angeles, the position politician maria carina machado has been freed hours after she was detained during a protest. she was addressing a raleigh in the capital a day before the negotiation of president elect nicholas mother. though the opposition says had come though it was violent name, deceptive by security forces. it was the 1st time she appeared in public after 5 months in hiding demonstration say july's election was rig they believe and wound up. gonzales will not vote. they ask for our lives now after playing the countries economic, the and so, so crisis in the last decade then dns. overwhelmingly. this has not been accepted by my daughter who continues to control the military and the country. and well, vanessa newman served as

a representative for former venezuela know position the deaf one going to go to the u. k. an island. she says, the government can't afford to invest machado, as we knew for certain that her, uh, how cavalcade was there to have fired on. and she was coming and going on in a motorcycle to make herself visible to her supporters. she had indeed been in hiding and protection, and they have lost quite a lot of ways if you can see, you know, her be more recent appearance in that time in under dress for the, from the stress of, of being invited. so today's reassurance was something that she has pulled upon for global move it to pull for the peaceful installation of a movie. the ones on this to really find all accounts of one the elections in the last uh in the supply and the 2 to one. then side is on, so who exactly is play one game on the and this is venezuela. everything about that

as well as a little bit of the lifting blogs. right. so it's, it's, they knew that they called really arrest ready according to my child, because she's so love domestically and internationally and respected and protected by the americans and the brit snelville is that they think that rushing, how would really be too much of a risk. but there are fractions within the regime. some who then, you know, just be done with ash and interest or the israel's war and gaza. his scale to more than $46000.00 palestinians. that's more than 2 percent of the population. and it doesn't include thousands of people still in come on, accounted for believes, buried under the russell in the and these fool

palestinians have been killed in separate attacks. delegates in gaza, city on size day. they ended up being taken to the batteries, functioning hospitals on the verge of closure because of a lack of fuel. a week old baby and a 4 year old child has been killed in the past 24 hours. remains of the 4 year old were buried in a cardboard box. they were killed by and is ready as try going to her in darrow bala, there's also medical teams in and out the hospital continue to repeat. that is, but um, is this to ongoing with bill chosing only residential homes on the facility of the hospital. um, its more due to ration is taking place among medical cases left that and could be assigned or uh that is it is and it's not just because what the bill does, it does very little. actually, even i think some of the proponents will admit that they don't really have the

tools to target the i c. c. it matters because of when it's happening, the congress, the new congress has just been sworn in days old. one of the 1st pieces of legislation is to sanction the icbc. now this is, i think important. remember it wasn't just do that and yahoo and go on to that were issued arrest warrants the i c. c. also targeted 3 of the top from us commanders to we know, have been killed by israel. we believe the 3rd one was as well, but still the republicans wasting no time to bring this bill up. and all republicans in the house voted for it along with 45 democrats. is the show of just how much support there is for this is really government. so what does it actually do? well, it sanctions and members of the i, c, c. and those who help them with this investigation, what a sanctioning these people mean? well, it means if they have assets or property in the u. s, which seems unlikely, those can be frozen. and they can also be denied visas to come to the united states . the bill also says the us needs to call back any money it gives to the icpc,

which you might be thinking could be a big problem. however, it is a law passed by congress that the us cannot get any money to the i. c. c. you remember the israel and the us are not signatories to the international criminal court that they didn't loosen the bill a little while ago in order to make sure that they could give about $5000000.00 to a fund that helps victims of war. they could try to call that money back, not sure, it would have that big of an impact. winds off the problem here. the temperatures probably are as well below where it should be from most places. you're least dips down to 8 degrees is a max on saturday and then back up to 14. so that's the cold sweeping and they go through the florida as well. taking snow along the know nothing florida by cisneros in the forest showers in the rockies. and otherwise it's sunshine as a how does me cross to north mexico? monterey is 11 degrees well below where it should be. otherwise, as much quantum picture in central america cost $3.00, cuz nothing surprises, it could be brought to me that the friday occasional shares on this band showing

itself in leave with dollars for the winds and all that strong strength and little bit during size of the day and still costa rica the cursed barrel, where it's like to be read some feet wet. but the constant south america does contain some pretty big visual shows. ecuador was a 5 cuz i think maybe it's moving east was so brazil, down through towards the rear side, part of the truck with dry argentina will develop some charles in the north eastern side of the mountains. and by your blank, you will see a drop of about 10 degrees in temperatures. the wind changes, for the most part is at least price is not sunny. a meeting of minds. truth is a battlefield. i believe that the images have part in that back in the field and i believe that the interpretation of images that also themselves part of that kind of more architect. yeah. advisement and photographer travel pack them. talk to every

photograph is a photograph of environmental change when you're making images at the kind of hedge of what's possible that becomes very pronounced studio be on script data analogies, era. the issue, the words, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and former defense minutes of your guidelines. for electrical crimes in gaza. of the 2 years of deadlock, 11 in solomon's has elected a new president. it commanded joseph, i own one of those required 11 and has been without a president since michelle. i was to ended in october of 2022. the reports from favorites, a lebanon has a new president, ending

a power vacuum that lasted for more than 2 years. it's army commander, joseph, fall and received the majority of the votes. and he says, this is a new beginning. in his 1st speech to parliament and said he would fight corruption poverty, promote economic engineers over for a while, investing in the army. he promised to build a functional state. i have a little modest my pledge is to exercise my role. let's come under in chief of the armed forces and chairman of the supreme defense council, through which i will work to offend the states right to monopolize the bearing of homes. this was seen as a message to his beloved, whose armed wing has long been stronger than the army own, was not the groups. can you visited babies in recent days, 11 on needs, international assistance to help rebuild what was the story during the war. it also needs us support to ensure as well, respects the ceasefire. but absent was iran,

which had considerable influence to hezbollah own, who received not out live from washington, d. c. welcome to the program. good to have you with us the new president and has pledged to ensure that only the army can carry ons. no, of course has blah runs its own military force. so can i stay true to that pledge? can he, the son has the law it is at this point a matter of fact, knowledge in the fact that the cease fire agreement was in fact a plan to disarm tested by law. and the only 1st symbol can k through it is actually the problem because he was at the of the army had the contact. so, you know, he knows out to do it. the question, the big question here is when the new state and the international community

provide that or has about not fighters in order for them not to be offered in a certain sense. or as is current, either wisdom or at least the dogma is no interesting that no, these are supposed to vanish, they're not going to vanish. and that way, it's really a huge task not to repeat the mistake that the us occupation have to commit to the in iraq when it disbanded the army without offering basically software things for that army. so if something happens in the lab and on the actual, this army as well on might take place. but we will have a lot of, uh, has been a lot, ex husband not fighters, who am i to do best something else? so it's really a big task for us on the phone. he might have the wisdom to check to navigate that back to you have not only to convince has of a lot of this. um, it has also to convince the international community that something ought to be

presented in order not to have a new as well as our e r. i in terms of navigating the complex situation. is there a sense perhaps that out and had reached out to has the law for some kind of a compromise so he can get elected it cannot be a compromise in the form back because the light is to seeks to have a compromise that okay, we try to the loopholes, to maintain our arms, we try to the little pause to maintain our presence. and we, we try to, uh, the formula of the army, the existence and people to maintain our legitimacy. this cannot be because on actually in his 1st words, has states that the only the many states waiting there, awesome that for he has excluded all of that. so the kind of compromise might be with the regional, the copies we've been, has about level see the value in transforming kinds of online to avoid that can box

it. and that band and in the audience aspect of it. but even then, those, even those that needs to be a way to absorb or at least to frame the, the thousands of factors, the principal has many of them are actually not just ideal obligate shots, but also veterans. our problem was to find the way out for them and not to leave them expose to further because vision and further the army, syria. lincoln met with european foreign ministers in bro, on size day. they also discussed how to avoid the slicing between taxis back as the ne fighters and cutters forces, who are supported by the us, all to zeros diplomatic editor james base reports from damascus, a new flag, and a new hope for the future. but while the international community is showing a willingness to engage with a new syria, it's not yet emilia. with the thinking of serious cards,

administration says 2254 is outdated and the election should be held for 3 to 5 years. the most secure way in the pseudo situation is to have the patient and have the sufficient time to get into the democratic era. if we do with no improperly, we will get the lead pennies approach of the situation or the to me so 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 its implants, 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 catalog and stick a pro us, which is fine. but i don't think they can compare us with other countries. celia is very special countries back in 2015. that was

a un security council resolution code 2254. it seems a long time ago. why is that in your view still important? it's very important because decision, please. we need to keep protect the constitution. the election, the doors, they 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, james base i, which is era, damascus, you as president a bite and has spoken of jimmy causes cars to the state. the funeral for the former president casa, who died at the age of 100,

is now being laid to rest in his home state of georgia. i was off to the ceremony as a national cathedral. adam fisher reports from washington, dc. for none of us live at to himself the past present and future.
