on the a temporary reprieve. improved when conditions uh, housing sizes by selling huge walls size costs, los angeles county, the name of is this is 0 live from jo. how also coming up is ready as strikes hit, who's the targets in yemen, including a power station and 2 pools. we looked at the potential impacts of new us sanctions against russia, targeting its energy sector, and defined international kohls to step aside. nicholas my the thoughts of such time as venezuela as president. the

hello and welcome to the program. 5 lies is starting to make headway in the bottle to contain 2 major, while flies on several smaller ones in los angeles. cruz taking advantage of what may be a temporary pause in strong wind conditions. 10 people have been killed and moving 10000 structures destroyed has since tuesday, and some of the west wildfires in the city's history. a nighttime cuff using place in mandatory evacuations. and in the beach to crack down on looting are due to the favorable overnight weather conditions and the diligence and our focus on a diligent work and effort and commitment of our 1st responders. we can report that the palisades fire is now 8 percent contained wind gusts are expected to increase in daylight hours. that will test our containment lines or firefighters will continue to respond to any flareups and increase our containment lines. evacuation

orders remain in place, and here are some of the west effects of the areas in los angeles. the fire in the pacific palisades remains the largest and most destructive in the count as history . it spread across a 1000 heck to is the kind of file just north of cala basses is the largest then so the latest ignite firefighters have managed to contain it. police arrested, an individual is suspected of starting this law, but later said, officer interviewing him. there was no probable cause to hold him on suspicion of austin and the eastern side. the apostle. dana is the deadliest, at least 5 of the 10 victims died. that the r, as in orange, are on the evacuation orders because there is an immediate threat to life. let's cause now live to rob reynolds, who's in malibu for us. well, very good to see you so much devastation. tell us what the situation is like where

you are laying a this is malibu, this is a place that is famous in so many television programs, so many movies that were shot here. i'm going to step aside and our camera man is going to show you what's left of this wretch, which was once a series of feet, side mansions, beautiful homes, the envy of so many people. this was the, the kind of life that people really aspired to. and these homes were worth millions of dollars. that as you can see now, they're just nothing left but smoldering ash twisted wreckage. i think of all the, the terrible things that i've seen over the last couple of days. these fires storms that have been gulf, the city this is the,

the one scene that really kind of gets me cause i've been, i've driven death and down this highway. so many times in all i can think of is that this truly is paradise lost. now as far as the human toll we, we still don't know exactly how it's how bad it's going to be. but as you mentioned, there's so many of hector birds. so many 1000, maybe 10009000 or 10000 structures destroyed the sheriff of los angeles county. robert luna says we don't know the half of it yet. as officers and 1st responders go from door to door and all of those houses seeking human remains, hoping not to find them, but possibly possibly it's, it's going to be much, much worse than the the physical told the material damage the economic damage on calculable right now i've heard estimates of

a $150000000000.00 to that. that seems low. the emotional toll is, is also something that people are having really hard time coming to grips with. i spoke to one mother who was high school teenage child was weeping in the night just thinking of all the places that she knew in her neighborhood in pacific palisades or friends, houses that have been destroyed her houses. okay. but as her, her whole background and everything she knew is, is gone. so it's, it's really unspeakable. it's, it's difficult as to, to kind of comprehend throughly, paradise lost. wow. what a trudy officer situation. rob, thank you so much for bringing us all of that reporting world. reynolds live for us in malibu. now a series of reports i found 2024 was the 1st year on racquel. the level temperature

exceeded pre industrial levels that seemed to each of a limit agreed to by signatories of the powers climate, tracy scientist, where the world meter, a logical organization of the use component. cuz climate change sub is found to temperatures last year, far exceeded the $1.00 degrees. nate, was it the warmest here on record? some of the months what the woman ste. 2 dates. the hottest 10 years on record going back to 1851 in the past decade. co barrett is the well mutual logical organizations deputy secretary general. she says greenhouse gas emissions need to because to address the rising temperatures. this is every fraction of a degree of warming, we are seeing an increased risk from climate change and the kinds of things that we're seeing that's just devastating right now and less the los angeles is unfortunately more and more the kinds of things that we scientists have predicted

we would see and that we are seeing, there's really no substitute for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. that's the core driver for climate change. and that is the key solution to as addressing this problem. of course, you know, right now we also have to start adapting to climate change. so we need to, you know, recognize that we are seeing increased risk for fires where i come from in western north carolina. we just experienced a major flood with hurricane helene. and increasingly, all across the globe were seeing the impacts of climate change manifest right now that we have to adapt to their needs to be major changes that are driven from the top down in terms of governmental policies, etc, investments, and new technologies, etc. but each of us has the ability to change,

make some changes in our life that can make a difference. and those differences can expand out to our communities and actually play a pretty significant role. now adults, his role to unconditionally discharge president elect donald trump. eva his hush money conviction. drunk made a virtual appearance during his sentencing in a new court written frank vitamin is a professor emeritus at the university of missouri school of law. he's also a form of federal and state prosecutor. he says the ruling was no surprise as i think that had he not been elected president. i think one might have expected. he would have gotten some jail time. not so much for the severity of the offense, which was always based on the conviction was always based on something of an imaginative legal theory. but his behavior before, during and after the case was extraordinarily contemptuous of the judge and jury.

the prosecutors, the entire system and customarily, if you behave that way and you're convicted of a felony, and the result is that you're going to do some time. but the judge, i think, recognize the reality, which is it would be functionally impossible to try to impose any kind of custodial sentence on a guy who's about to be president of the united states. arguably, it wouldn't be legal, but he's and he certainly couldn't compel trump to report for any such and such sentence. so it's hardly surprising that this happened. i think one thing that is worth mentioning here is that although this non punishment of the sense is disappointing for those who are particularly critical of mr. trump's behavior, what happened today does finalize the conviction up to this point, one could not legally have said the donald trump was a convicted felon. the thing that makes somebody convicted felon is the entry of the judgment at the sense that occurred today. so although he's going to appeal

this guys, he is now officially a convicted felon. these are in the military has conducted numerous attacks across yemen, saying it was targeting, who's the infrastructure. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the army will continue to hit yemen in retaliation for the he's the strikes on. is ro, mohammad, how do you reports more strikes around for you? how many capital, some of the flu season place the blame on the us and the u. k claims, both countries deny the meanwhile phases, really all me says the hip, the pulse in the last 30. so and for data, as well as a power station in some of the attacks were carried out on friday when hundreds of thousands of government needs typically gather of the friday prayers to condemn. israel's will only cost the spokes person for the, for the military was that the protests until the crowds,

the group of tech sites in israel, the day before the, the how many do you have any armed forces carried on targeting operation against a number of target belonging to these really animals in the oxide areas of hypo with 3 drones. and they were able to reach their target successful human through these have launched several attacks on israel. thing the strikes or show of solidarity with palestinians in gaza is really defensive in the state, as well as what the who sees it will continue talking to them. and if they don't still keep outside their own became on these really strikes today and humans and the clear and sharp message to the leader of the who's the entire organization. that will be no immunity. but anyway, i'm not here single police. the 1st these become targeting, what's it said, what is really linked to ships in the red sea?

soon off, the israel began. it's will on the cause. in october 2023. they have won the so the non did that is it i the will to stop it's attack, i do decide. i lifted the blue k didn't goes, and they knighted nation you in as a security general has requested that interested instead of motion of the own oprah as well. he will not have to watch group. they have a requested. is there any just of that i these randy ministry says it will continue at sucking human until the free fees and the strikes bought through the no cease fire in gaza. few if any expect that to happen. how many hagey elders era? the? is there any strikes the crows guys i have kills at least a scene, palestinian. this is doing. on friday.

the 3 of the victims were killed in on tennessee shutting on a home in the chute, jaya neighborhood of garza city. at least 46000 palestinians have been killed since october, the 7th of 2023, a month outcast lou describes the situation from the hospital in gauze, assessing this situation here. and also city is really catastrophe as these. right . all mean since applying the bump things against the values and the pool corps, those goals will city the attacking cartridge and neighborhoods. also, i shop a refuge account and as a, to a neighborhood, actually, our neighborhood has what are we on this collision? why that is why they all meet on his radio tax. at this moment, the casualties on one of the people are arriving for the hosting, which suffering from us to visual stage where they can supplies as a specialist to update the situation. and the scenario is the same in the northern doesn't sweat because we are doris contacts of really kind of stuff in the hospital

. what is right on the cape decisions, the hospital and the open for you as i read the hospital. right. and there is no, i need water also that which far as the dumpsters that to use the medical solutions understood. oh, well, so this is the overall situation at the moment in gauze and the northern goals, a slip and dr. z and the directors of the hospitals are cold and gets older. it's a national community to afford the hospitals with the medical supplies and the specialist they'll close to will incorporate a free d as the 1st law he cannot deal with it was to kill a cases as the cases it arrives to allow the hospital is really the court to kill as really a multi trauma. that's why the director of the hospital here is calling a total international community to afford the needed medical supplies and they

needed a specialist and to allow also the medical controls to arrive to god and city he had as much as just mentioned. is there any soldiers have besieged the indonesian hospital in northern cause up for weeks palestinian families forced from that homes that also sheltering that rely at 10 bora is in the us of the hospitals. she describes the conditions inside the intent even was this put underneath, this is the current situation. i the indonesian hospital today, friday and since last night the hospital is under heavy con fire. these rarely military vehicles are passing more than once around the hospital. the shooting continues and the quad carpenters don't stop. a in my situation is extremely difficult than what i've done. the whole situation is very scary and high to someone because i'm not sure can they have,

even though there's no water at all here inside the hospital since wednesday, we all here have resorted to the sailing solutions to drink for them. and sometimes we use it for personal purposes because of the total lack of water in the hospital . this is a real catastrophe for everyone here. so the knowledge is there are more diplomacy in damascus. it's miss flor administer cools for the lifting of sanctions, as he holds talks with serious need of the it's had lower that let's have a look at the weather across north america. and the story has been about those devastating wild fires across the west coast in california. with west wald, 5 and history reported in l. a. now the good news is on saturday,

the winds offset to die down, but we aren't seeing much in the way of west. so whether that could help with containment. instead, we've seen some very nasty weather weather move across the southeast of the us towards the eastern seaboard that went to school now pulls out to see behind it. it is looking a lot clearer. there's more winter weather to come across to know the rockies. with some heavy snow moving across the midwest and the great lakes for it remains bitterly cold. and you can see that the optic sweeping down is not just being felt across the south west of the us, but also into northern mexico. we have a monterey where only 8 degrees celsius on fact today, the good news is though that temperature gets kicked lights up to 20 degrees celsius. will see you subscribe to the shower from mexico city, but it is a long while for the you can time financial a y, as well for costa rica and panama, and there's a sunshine dominating across the caribbean. the

to understand the world. we must experience life through and now designs discover the stories forgotten. we split along the passage of time. the voices drowned out by the cane. within the ordinary, extraordinary to us and witness documentary the done veiled the trees and chains perspective. on $20.00 the the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the guy you're watching out, is there a, a reminder of i told the story, is this our easing winds? helping sy fi just to make headway as they tried to contain several wild fires in los angeles county, the stem people having killed and thousands of buildings destroyed since tuesday. is there any military has conducted in numerous attacks across government, saying it was talking to you to use the infrastructure? is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the army will continue to hit young men in retaliation for the rebel strikes as well. the us has hit russia with the broad as package of sanctions so far with official say it will cost most get millions of dollars a month. us officials say they are targeting oil and gas companies. level oil prices jump to more than 3 percent head of the treasury announcement, which also sanctioned a $183.00 oil time cuz the crum accuses the white house of leaving

a toxic legacy days before president j bite and leaves office. mike, honda has more of this from washington dc to bite into ministration. officials say these are the most springs and sanctions yet imposed on russia. they have focused on 2 of russia's biggest energy companies. and very importantly, have also focused on more than $180.00 vessels. now the significance of this is that these were what a cold a shadow vessels had. they would, vessels were breaking existing sanctions by flying as the and the other countries flags. and also older vessels that could not be easily categorized. they have now focused on these vessels, which the officials say could lead to a massive financial loss for the russian government. now the question is whether these sanctions will remain in place when the trump administration takes over soon . we have heard from the man nominated to be the national security adviser. michael

was saying that he welcome sanctions against russia because he believes that it can be used as a liver to encourage encourage the negotiation that the president elect. donald trump says he wants to engage in with the russian lead to that in me a pollutant. so at this particular stage, given all these factors, given the fact to that, to abide and administration, officials say this little come back into themself. economy economic could the united states, given that inflation is low, given that it's expected, there will be an oil black in coming months. so put all these factors together and it would appear that the sanctions will last into the trump administration for how long will that is something that we'll have to watch and wait to see as the administration, the new administration plays out. it's new diplomatic agenda by kind of, i'll just see era washington to adam adam smith is an international trade partner as a new gibson done and crusher. he also served as

a sanctions official in the us treasury. he joins us now live from washington, d. c. very good to have you with us and welcome to the program. now the us has been piling sanctions in russia since the country launched its evasion of ukraine in 2022, but it's not has the desired effect. why would this be any difference? well, 1st of all, thank you so much for having me. i mean, if we don't know if this will be different, but it is different with respect to what's being targeted until fairly recently. energy has been a 3rd rail. the us has been unwilling to really go after energy for fear of price hikes for gas, for gas users in the us and europe, especially in the winter. and so the idea of going after energy in a very direct way here, which they started the little bit of november going up the gas problem bank. and now actually going after actual energy producers is a very big, big move. and this could give rise to significant pain

a by president put in if it's in force as robustly as it could be. an interesting that you mentioned that if it's in force and we have seen some inconsistent enforcement of these previous sections, not just by the us, but also by the e. u. isn't it? just a reality of law who's in russia has a commodity that the world the needs and that's why the implementation has been so potties. busy ha as well, yes or no, i mean there is your correspond. it just said that if they have an oil glove, which means that the commodity that there been selling is not only needed from russia, it can be actually gain from other sources. and so i do think that's really a question now of enforcement and whether or not the g 7, not just the us, not just the but the broader g 7 is willing to not just impose these sorts of restrictions, which of course are not self executing. and then make sure the parties who nonetheless engage with partners who are listed, get in trouble for doing so. so really is a question of enforcement and i think you're right. it has been patchy and i, but i think that's one of the big questions with respect to president trump is

whether or not you will use these tools on not just in both more sections better. and for some, if there are wiley and the sanctions do come in the waning days of the bite and administration, and as you say, it will be up to donald trump to decide whether to enforce them how to enforce them, or perhaps even roll them back. he's coming at this from a different perspective than joe biden. he said he was ready to meet russian present president vladimir putin, that, that is being set up. so what might happen with trump in office? well, i think he said he will be a deal maker is what he said he wants to do. and we saw that in his 1st term, he is willing to use sanctions and other trade tools in negotiations there's nothing to do with trade. and so i think that we will see that here too, right? i believe that he wants to see you into this floor. and i also believe him and his new not security advisor, that the sanctions these tools will be important parts of any sort of negotiation. because much of the russian government says that the sanctions,

i appreciate the impact of that's just not true. and they certainly want them to be removed. and the character of having them root may be a very important part of any sort of negotiation with respect to mr. clinton, mr. zaleski, try to finally end this of the legal war that russia started. all right, adam adam smith, thank you so much for all of your insights for joining us on the program here. thanks very much. thank you. the nicholas, my daughter has been sworn in for a subs 60 a time as been as well as the president. the ceremony went ahead despite the international clothes for him to stand aside of to july. as dispute of the election, the country is stopped. quote, declared mother to the wind, but detailed voting tallies have never been published. the integration coincided with us announcing new sanctions on venezuela and officials. washington also increased the reward from other widows arrest or conviction to $25000000.00. less than america editor to see in human as following developments from santiago into

that swearing end of nicholas. my brutal for a 3rd consecutive term as president of and as well. i has not come as a surprise, but it has been a deep blow to his opponents, particularly edmondo bone scientists, the man who was the opposition candidate and last july's presidential elections and who is widely believed to be legitimate and winner of that whole. now, while they are claiming that they won the, the opposition leaders, most of them at least are either in hiding or in exile at this moment. their strategy over the last 5 or 6 months from july until now was to try to get the international community to pressure president, missouri to either step down or to hold pressure elections that has not happened. meanwhile, president, my brutal does have the support of china, of russia, iran, and many other country. and so while he has been isolated regionally in latin america and in places like the united states and the u, he still has strong,

strong support and allies and doesn't seem like he will be going anywhere anytime soon. tens of thousands of people in mill, dave uh, without the heat and hot water off the rush, i cut energy supplies the power outages during the middle of winter, i have cools government to declare a state of emergency uncles to him. sharif my thoughts let's see. the don't a cheat is poking up his yard with 5, but to stay warm through winter. electrical outages are being imposed on his village in southern most of the country has been dependent on russian gas for its energy. that was denver through you came from france. mystery a, a break lead region that's economically and politically supported by russia and multiple cup supplies to the region on january, the 1st leaving hundreds of thousands of people without heating and hot water

is that some of the fuel we were expecting the shortages with enough to say of electricity, it's also more expensive, it rush hour, so i was prepared for this. i think everybody has thought about what to do in order not to freeze in the winter. the street lights are off, so there is no light during the night. let's just say don't energy john gas pro hold supplies a day off to gas drones of payment to be in the country and to create expired from ms. trio houses. molto was largest pulse on that supplies gas to the whole country . let's say law school could have used alternative routes to continue providing gas to that region, but it stopped supplies adding to the energy shortages in moldova, it's government to choose as well. sure, of recognizing energy to destabilize the country. that's a candidate to join the european union. moscow says will do, well, hasn't paid, it's to use. the crisis has forced the government to impose

a state of emergency fits. we're checking settlements affected by this energy crisis. i listen to the situation in every village and notice the immediate necessities. there is a need for wood wood pellets and we need more power generators. in the public cops and solving energy prices are leaving restrooms in a desperate situation as winter sets in dark. how do you suppose to stop too far from the limits of many people were under stress and they started buying gas lamps . it's easier in the villages because most people have wood burning stoves. but some who had shot had to reopen the stoves and others bought generators. helium, new people involved a well or freddy's tumbling the rising cost of living. now an energy crisis is adding to the whole ship and the consumption brief. pleasure. sierra south korea's presidential security chief has resigned. police have been
