a 2 years of trying 11 on gets a new president. we look at the task ahead for joseph owen. as he takes charge, the another wall fire has started in los angeles this time in the west hills neighborhood as california as national god for pastor joined the bottle to contain several uncontrolled fires. the latest flare up as and the san fernando valley and the cities northwest people living the on the mandatory evacuation order. 7 people have been killed since tuesday and more than 200000 are on the evacuation orders. i'll just say it was rob reynolds has more not from the fire in pacific palisades, but you needed help from above. julia take her place. lou low over the fire, devastated landscape of pacific palisades carrying water screw stuff from the

pacific to be dumped on the still out of control. fire burning in the hills above. pacific palisades is largely a waste land. now something more resembling a war zone than the affluent neighborhood. it was a few days ago to pass go. busy lost the home of 30 years where she raised her family. the spire is not going to take my memories away and keeping my number's memories are all that many people have left. the coming winds have given firefighters more optimism. while major blazes remain on contained, fresh crews are coming in from other states and canada to help weather conditions are beginning to turn favorably, which will allow us to increase our containment lines. while many neighbors came together to help one another, the worst of human nature was also evident. police arrested a number of alleged looters who had been prowling the effective neighborhoods. if people choose to commit crimes, they are going to be held accountable. the cost of the ongoing disaster is not yet

known, but certain to be immense. president joe biden says the federal government will help pay is going to pay for things like debris and hazard material rules, temporary shoulders. first responders showers and all the necessary measures to protect life and property. residents of the affected areas have been evacuated, but even when the evacuation orders are lifted, many will return to find their homes and their neighborhoods no longer exist. some people in this neighborhood are angry, saying that officials weren't prepared despite warnings in advance of severe weather conditions. and they say, when firefighters did arrive, there wasn't sufficient water pressure in the hybrids to allow them to extinguish burning houses. how come there weren't firefighters on my street? how come there were water in the hydrants? officials defended their efforts. we also know the fire hydrants are not

constructed to deal with this type of massive devastation. the favorable weather should last a few more days before winds pick up again, forecast or say, and after 8 months of drought, there's no sign of rain in sight. rob reynolds, l g, a 0, pacific palisades, california. and that's bringing j. tracy. he's a deputy fine moslin, the president of the fire department and joins us live now from fresno in california j. so we understand that you're waiting orders to join cruise baffling those fires in los angeles focus briefly to the challenges you and your team will face once we get there. i mean things are looking pretty bad on a well, it's definitely a devastating landscape that, that will be going to we, we do have crews already down there all from the central valley and actually all from throughout california. the mass mutual aid system is designed to, to send help from, you know, all over to who needs at most. so the,

the devastation there is pretty significant though. yeah, j and we understand the windows have died down now for a few days. but so how is that helping 5 cruise to increase that containment lines and stuff the blazes i'm just waiting for that for the moment. a very well, that's a great question. and then they'll take advantage of the, the weather when it's kind of as best they can. the, a lot of these wild land fires are, are driven phenomenally by it, by a couple of things. it's, it's whether it's topography and it's fuel. so when you have a significant, a weather event like they've experienced down there, it's, it's, uh, it's kind of insurmountable to the firefighters that are there on, on the ground finding, finding these things the, you know, yeah, you're starting out in the totality of all 3 of those factors, and it wasn't, it wasn't given them a very good chance of, of getting in front of this thing and stopping it. you know, had been some reports of water shortages in find hydrants and so on with crews

saying they're fighting a losing battle. well, i don't know the exact specifics of it just, you know, what i've kind of heard on, on a news outlets like like yourself, a good thing i can say is there's probably more than sufficient water should one or maybe 2 houses to come to a, to a fire event, i don't think there's a water system in the us that would be able to support the firefighting efforts when you have um, you know, vast neighborhoods and, and street after street after street of homes on fire. yeah. and as we're hearing the high winds of died down for a while, j, but they all predicted to pick up again in a few days. that's worrying for you, isn't it? that's going to make things worse for sure. so as i said, you know, quickly there, the guys are going to try to take advantage of the, of the weather when it, when it gives them that opportunity. and so with that also we can get our rotor

aircraft in our fixed wing aircraft up in the air and, and try to make some good headway on containment lines and putting out some of the real hot spots of, of these fires and, and trying to do that, you know, obviously when the wind goes down your, your chances are your odds go up dramatically. and then what they'll try to do is get as much of that knocked down and secured as they can. so if these ones do pick back up in the next 48 hours, uh, they'll be able to mitigate most of the opportunities for more embers and sparks to get cast down down wind, and start more fire. just a final thought to because i know you're busy, i mean, how important is it for people in the area to follow those mandatory evacuation? notice because this is for their own safety, isn't it? oh absolutely we we, um, i can tell you unequivocally, we do not take the fact that we place uh, evacuation orders or, or even warnings very lightly. um, you know, there has been

a lot of technology equally uh, technology advances in the last few years to get out the message that we need people to get out of out of these areas that the fire is approaching. you know, it's, it's kind of a ready set go. when we tell you're ready, it's not a fire comes. we tell you, yes, that, that means we need, you get out. when we tell you, go, we need you to go. because it does, obviously, is we have seen that it does come down to a matter of life and death if firefighters have to divert from trying to put out fire or, or um, you know, setup plans and processes to, to deal with the fire and the advancement of that fire to save lives, that's what we're going to do 1st. so when you, you choose to stay back, it really does put us in a predicament. and it also really puts our firefighters at great risk. the j. tracy, the from the president fire department, a fascinating token to stay safe when you get to those funds. was there a thank you very much indeed for the thank you.

the is what i was one guys that has killed more than $46000.00 less demands. that's more than 2 percent of the population. it doesn't include thousands of people still unaccounted for. believe to be buried under the rubble piece for palestinians have been killed in separate attacks targeting guns and city on thursday. the injured of being taken to band a functioning hospitals on the verge of closure because of a lack of field. when a week old and a 4 year old child had been killed in the past 24 hours remains of the 4 year old and buried in a cardboard box that was killed by his rarely as striking a home in the around the bulk of zeros towers. eyebrows, with much more details some day on the ballot in central gods. of these k look is rarely a tax continues to escalate across different geographical locations and caused by

the concentration has been pretty much during the past 24 hours on the guns with ctv is very military is a so rotating the military attacks on a residential areas one of the latest has struck a school sheltering dozens of palestinians in the valley town on the move reports coming from eye witnesses suggests that the sky line of northern garza is absolutely overwhelmed and covered with pink flex smoke coming from buildings in the valley. a refugee come and pick la here, that wet then by the east valley ground forces also medical teams and allowed to hospital continue to repeat. that is, but um, is it still ongoing? we build chosing old residential homes on the facility of the hospital. um, it's a move you to ration is taking place among medical cases left the and could be a sign of bumps is rarely a escalation might take place within the coming days. as the military operation has

no sign of stopping or of faxing, a northern garza with different vote at towns and villages have been decimated completely as a part of that military operation that has been justified to be a sort of military dismantling of military capabilities of probably sitting on groups in the north of the street power company. so i'll just see there that i kind of built a sanction the international criminal code is headed to the us senate for debate. that's off of the house of representatives. approve the legislation taking aim at the court for issuing arrest warrants. phase ready officials. the i c. c should warrants for prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former defense minister. you have go out there with you was documenting war crimes and gaza. i'll just there was practical haines in washington dc with more on the but as this boat was widely expected, but it does send a message of iron cloud us support for israel because of when it's happening,

the congress has just days old. this is one of the 1st pieces of legislation, it's taking up and in the house. it was bi partisan. all members of the republican party in the house voted for it along with 45 democrats. so what exactly does this do? a really very, very much symbolic in that if any members of the icpc or those who help investigate israel have assets or property in the united states, those can be frozen. they can be not denied visas. it also says the, i should call back any money that it's given to the i c. c. that's not a whole lot of money because do us congress actually for bid on by law the us to give any money to the i c. c, which is not a signatory to now they did soften the law and were able to set about $5000000.00 to the victim impact funds to try and help you ukrainians that have been hurt by the war with russia. they could try to call that back, but again, unlikely to have a huge impact. and it wasn't just israel that was sanction. they also issued arrest warrants for 3 him off leaders. board is believe they have all been killed by

israel. so again, a message sent, it will likely pass the senate, the likely wait till incoming president, donald trump is an office to sign it, but again expected, but i'm likely to make much of a difference pedagogy. elda, 0 washington, venezuelan opposition and politician maria, according to machado, has been free just dallas off the. she was detained during a protest. she was addressing a riley and come back us a day before the no gratian of president, elect nicholas madura was the 1st time ship hitting public up to 5 months in the hiding of a sound run patty ripples as she has promised venice. when is opposition leader my the equity, no much had appeared in public for the 1st time in months on thursday, the sighing threats and immunizations by the government. if we could have somebody do it a, she joined protesters and cut out cuz even less beach attempts to stop my daughter's 30 negotiation on friday, whatever they will do on friday,

it will be the end of the regime if they commit this crime against the constitution but as she left her aid said she was attacked by security forces in briefly arrested is video shows machado leaving the demonstration in a black jacket and helmet, escorted by security guard and a motorcycle. and the code, excuse me. later reports said much as it was forced to record the deals before being released. her possible detention sparked swift international condemnation. but out of pro government rally, interior minister deals that will come pay you denied her race accusing the opposition of spreading fake news. they tried to cover up the disaster of their rally with the big lie, with a false positive. immediately they let it spread to the lying social media. the confusing episode kept a day of protest across the americas in europe,

where babies with them, immigrants took to the streets to try to block mcgruder from clinging to power. this by creating the evidence that he lost july's presidential election. they exit . i'm absolutely convinced that today we are rectifying our bt, we've been suffering for 25 years and this has to be the end of that. meanwhile, the opposition presidential candidate did wound on silas was in the dominican republic on the last leg of a tour together support for his return to venezuela. accompanied by 9 former latin american heads of states, he insisted he was planning to enter the country on friday to be 9 q rated asap event. it is evident that such a regime represents a threat to the anti human spirit. we are living critical days in which the global struggle for freedom and democracy has its apc into and venezuela the only way to respect the sovereignty of our country is to recognize the popular mandate of july . the opposition is promising to keep pressuring the government both inside and

outside venezuela until they manage to start the democratic transition in the country. but with much little maintaining control of the military and all state institutions, they will most likely be able to swear in on friday and remain in power. i send that, i get the address, the it up over the top personal break here. and i'll just say about when we come back up 10 sounds coming from mozambique supposition lead up, announced them on the line. it was back in this country. opposite things himself sometimes takes up more than the the you're aware of the center and the wins finding the flames in southern california. i think they last through friday, but they might die down on saturday. but for most of the us encounters proper winter winds onto the problem here. the temperature is probably hours well below

where it should be from most places, you're least dips down to 8 degrees as 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 a lot further. no, nothing florida. most the snow is in the form of showers in the rockies, and otherwise it's sunshine and the cold doesn't make you trust to north mexico won't arise 11 degrees, well below where it should be. otherwise there's a much, quite a picture in central america called 3 cuz nothing surprises, it could be brought to me that the friday occasional chef on this band showing itself and leave with dolls for the winds and not that strong strength and little bit during saturday and still costa rica the coast there. all right. started to be ready to be wrecked. but the council in south america does contain some pretty big, vicious shares. ecuador was i focus, i think maybe it's maybe the east was so brazil down through towards the rear side . part of the trouble dry. argentina will develop some showers 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 nice passage, at least bright is not sunny. the, there's no limit to have a dream container. stuff in your own event, you know, counter and things the,

the new watching, i'll just say real quick reminded on top stories here. this uh, another wall fi i stopped in los angeles this time and the west hills neighborhood of california is national gone. professor joined the bundled, to contain several uncontrolled fires. 7 people have been killed since tuesday and moving 200000 or under of occupation orders. thousands of buildings of industry, venezuelan opposition, politician, money are coming and much on it has been free just hours after she was detained during a protest. the officer should have come. void was violently intercepted by security forces in the capital of cutoffs on thursday. now living on has a new president of the 2 years of deadlock parliament as elected ami come on to joseph. i was in the country has been without a president since michelle owens to amended. in october 2022. just there was an, a hold of reports now from the capital favorite. lebanon has

a new president ending a power vacuum that lasted for more than 2 years. it's army commander joseph found, received the majority of the votes. 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, the obvious amount. it says only 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 group's candidate. but this is an 11 on isabel's devastating war. and the fall of the regime and neighboring syria weekend has beloved, and it's alex,

it's a big change in the whole region, not on the 11th. and the indian uh, uh, influence on the own. lebanon is going away. 11 on lawmakers returned to parliament on thursday for the 1st time in 19 months. a lot has happened since possible on its allies may not have been able to impose their candidates that they made clear they can't be ignored. they didn't give their votes to the army commander until they met him before a 2nd round of bolting. now we have a to good for tennessee to have the, our to item. but i've noticed mainly at our many companies, and they come from countries as well as a whole lot of companies plus the international community. plus they look in community through deed was never and again, has beloved remains the main dividing line in lebanon and beyond its borders. this election didn't fix the political divide. instead, there was significant political maneuvering as invoice from the united states.

france and saudi arabia visited bay route 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 $99.00 of the $128.00 votes, is considered to be the preferred choice of the us and the international community . well unfortunately i, i believe that that has been a role by international community and the aging of players to push for the conclusion of this milestone and faces the difficult tasks of overseeing a ceasefire on the is really border and naming a prime minister to lead reforms demanded by international creditors to save the country from a severe economic crisis. this was not merely a vote. it's a sign that after much delay 11 on the has entered

a new phase in its history center for their elders either bailed warehouse on 9. there is a political analyst at the middle east institute and he says, joseph islands, biggest challenge will undoubtedly be the effort to disarm husband off. it cannot be a compromise in the form back because the light is to 6 to have a compromise that ok, we try through the loopholes to maintain our on. so we try to move the loopholes to maintain our presence. and we will 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 with their arms and therefore he has excluded all of that. so the kind of compromise might be with the reasonable copies we've been, has about level see the value in transforming kinds of online to a pallet that can box it. and that band and in the,

on the aspect of it. but even then that those, even those that needs to be a way to absorb board or at least to frame the, the thousands of factors. the principal i have many of them are actually not just ideal obligate shots. but also veterans robin was to find the way out for them and not to leave them expose to further because vision and further the army smell. for decades there is a certain family maintained a tight grip on 11 on wielding influence of its politics and shaping its alliances . but last month, every gene. so just in days of to cease fi ended, israel's war on it's ally has block. this seismic shift threatens to reshape the french on balance of power in the region, leaving both nations facing uncertain future. i'll just say it was on the hush. it has more if it rains in damascus, lebanese opened their own brightness, saying,

reflected reality live in on has live with for decades. its face is often tied to the policy goes, forms forming across the board, and see of you now with the collapse of the shuttle assets region. just the days of the ceasefire ended, as well as were on his beloved lebanon stands at the cost of syria. so 11 on a very important a strategic um a you know, a younger brother. and so for itself, a role, they've got an answer for b, since security and 11 on given the defense in size and defense and a capabilities and it sold that role to continue. continue that all somehow after 2005 in the mid 1970, syria intervened, and 11 and civil war with its army remaining in the country for nearly 30. yes,

the 191895 court and the civil war. i'm for my life serious role 11 on a long side. so the idea as regional pod brokers, however, the 2005 s as a nation of form. i live in east by minnes settle fee for how do you do that to investigate this later link to members of principal law left to widespread and to see if you have pro tests and 11 on resulting in see of us withdrawal. the c panel prize in 2011 letter has been lost, sending thousands of pipe as into syria to support bus shuttle assets with jean of the intervention. sorry, defied assets hold on power. but at a significant cost, thousands of law fighters were killed folder deepening the risk between the cdn ended up in these people. since its founding in the 1980s, hezbollah has relied on sea of you as a crucial link in either one so called access of resistance,

providing good quality door for weapons and support with asset removed from paula. and those roots on the threat has will last faces growing, trying to interest. now, i see it a lot. yes. well, i has lost some of the tree supply wrapped through syria at this stage. but this last is a detailed in the resistance world. and you would, you could come and this route could return to normal and we could look for other ways. well, the, the collapse of assets, governments also signals potential of people in netherlands, already from dr. political balance. experts warn the full out could shift the regions power dynamics for years. this flow to his power, i think a good a it may effect an honest internal balance. politically, if, if his fellow is now perceived as more vulnerable. as the new administration in damascus,

navigates on certain future lebanon braces for the impact of its neighbors, friends formation, and many and c. a say, the old saying still holds true when it drains in damascus lab and inevitably feels the store and the hash. and i just need them to me, blink, and spend what is likely to be his final overseas trip. is us secretary of state pushing for a peaceful, political transition in syria. lincoln met with you in a pe and foreign ministers in rome on thursday. they also discussed how to avoid further fighting between turkish backed s n. a fighters and cody sources was supported by the us at least 3 people have been shot dead by police in mozambique cause i gather to welcome the opposition leader on his return to the capital makoto . but i don't see him online, it has been in self imposed exile for 2 months, up the dispute and the result of october as the presidential election. the government accuses him of inciting violence to meet them in as more from the food of

a highly anticipated retention was indeed for support as above position. presidential candidates finance and wondering whom it which i am not willing to accept the election results. if they are the same as those really announced, i think the only role i am willing to take on is the role i have always been willing to take on. which is to defend my people. to fight for these people is for the truth, for justice and full values and stuff is unless the government's accused with donovan sizing vine in 6 months of protest. following these accusations. luc rigging in october his presidential election and on his leg was a, b. c says, reason safety assigned be able to montgomery supposes with mrs. police to, i guess, unlike gunfire, they continued to bring throwing stones, a convoy carrying financing ones on it has now left and its travel down this road leading to where his supporters of gather to welcome him. the police killed.
