5 is when they marched into the camp in 1945. the reason president alexander lucas jenko has dismissed western criticism of his election. victory is predictable. election authorized to say that nutrition code won the 7th time in office on sunday with nearly 87 percent of the vote. he's been in power since 1994 critics a. the election was need, the free will fast and the u. k. has just imposed new sanctions, most k, as welcome to constraint because re election people living in western front to escape the flooded homes and bates is a powerful storm. best down on parts of europe in the u. k. the french weather service has issued a red light for the bridge, the region and one's flood waters are likely to continue rising officials and rend say the city has recorded the most severe flooding and for he has at least 400 people of evacuated homes. more than $500000000.00 has been whites off the value of us technology stocks itself. the emotions of

a low cost artificial intelligence application built by a chinese from the deep sea app is similar to us competitors like chat g, p, p. but the edit site check only $6000000.00 to develop it compared to the bins spent on its u. s. rifles. the application is powered using far less energy than of a i saw for christmas to leave me has the reaction from new york as well. if you look at the nasdaq stock market index, you will see that it is down more than 3 percent. this is a very tech heavy stock market index and it is suffering, as you said, as a result of that announcement by the chinese start up deep sea, which release this open a i model which reportedly has out performed open a i the pre eminent us research institute model here in the united states and that just a fraction of the cost, according to reports, it costs and less than $6000000.00 to design compared to the billions of dollars

being spent here. and that has investors really questioning what they have been putting their money into and whether or not the high powered computer chips that many believe would be necessary in order to develop a i and this a i revolution are actually going to be needed. so we're seeing investors reconsider that now. and in particular, when you look at in video, the chip maker, it's stocks are down more than 16 percent. it's lost in billions of dollars today alone. as a result of the questions being raised by this revelation from the chinese company, deep sake. uh, that's it for me, the cloth, any more costs on a website officer dot com. and i'll be back in the this is reframe, we'll be discussing the war and gaza and today how palestinian office are

responding to it. the only thing that's right is have is the power of award winning old, the fashionable to speak to palestinian by director ok met. i'm assuming that you were able to train those emotions that come on with something that is a beautiful and see those emotions without the wounds that's coming. refrain on out a perfect storm, all intense winds and low humidity turns into some of the largest wild fires in los angeles history. onto the show, we look into what happens in southern california and how residents there are planning to rebuild their lives. following the disaster of these forces, and this is the strength, shall we try. we tried rel, i'm sorry. yeah. when this free fall,

if you are in these areas and you get an evacuation order, you need to leave. you need to leave immediately. i don't know everyone is wellbeing lives in los angeles. i am so beyond disgusted by so many posts that i'm seeing online about how deep the rich they deserve. this only celebrities live in los angeles is so just, i can't believe it. everything is called a home toad is gone. who picks up the bill? how these schools, literally, everything needs to be rebuilt and some estimates say that's going to be billions of dollars. this is some of what we already saw on our social media feeds. people fleeing their homes, others describing how they felt about losing everything, but to understand the scale of the devastation we begin today's show with a look at the numbers since the california wildfires interrupted on the 7th of january. more than 19000 hector's burned,

at least 28 people were killed. and more than 17000 instructors have been completely destroyed. it could cost california up to $275000000000.00 to rebuild. but what is the human cost on the catastrophic basis today? we'll also talk about what is driving these extreme law and flyers as a climate change drought mismanagement, and what changes are needed in the future. joining us to discuss our summer dean, a climate scientist, based in los angeles activist and content creator rebecca faith quinn, noah haines, an academic policy writer and advocates. she has many other hats, but we'll stick to these today. and natalie dempsey was born and raised in california and as a resident of l. a. thank you all so much for your time. naturally. i would like to start with you because we came across this particular clip that you posted online.

and i want to ask you about it. so the, so it's so hard. sure. as long as you know you edited trolls of notes of nope, over the group of food stamps. i have an institution followed by dreams over chambers. whoever knows, fisher, mike does, or it's really hard to get there. really hard. natalie, can you tell us briefly where you were at that point and also what have you lost in these fires? oh, hi, thank you for having the honors. wanted to say that that was a really motional moment for me. i was trying to get back inside the policies

because at the time my house and my business hadn't burned yet, according to the fire map. so i had pulled up on sunset, and of course, i understand why i was rejected to go back in because it was still on fire. but it was a very emotional moment for me because i just wanted to save anything from my previous life, essentially. and these are let us to save anything. no, i lost my business, which was in the policy. it's not the village of caruso but the older village. initial severe the la pause. i had a spa and i was a resident of the policies. and we spoke briefly before the show and you described how you felt really hard to get to where you were. you actually addressed that in the video there. the misconception that those affected by the fire were rich and famous and could easily rebuild. where do things to stand for you right now?

where are you staying? for example, did you get any help um no, no i. i will be entering litigation with the insurance companies, but i'm not allowed to speak about cuz i don't have any and i have yet to receive anything from fema, anything or last be a people seem to forget that aspect as also loans based off lot of earnings and stuff, so they're not even the same for everybody. i am staying with a friend in santa monica. i'm currently homeless jobless, so applying for any type of place to rent is nearly impossible, since you need to make 2 and a half times the income of the rent and i am unemployed. so there's a lot of multi layered situation going on right now of how to go forward, because i'm stuck in so many directions to and again, we,

we thank you immensely for joining us today. during these difficult circumstances. we're going to ask you a little bit more about how you plan to go on the 1st. i also wanted to ask noah and your family has been affected by the fires. you guys last 4 homes, if i'm not mistaken altogether. and there's been significant criticism toward what many perceived as well for chase, i just lack of preparedness. can i get your take on this? um, 1st of all, thank you so much for having me. um, you know, this feels like these are bu, because not only is my family struggling through the eaten virus and a for homeless. we lost collectively enough to dina. but we also went through this during hurricane katrina. so my family has been devastated twice by extreme climate events in terms of mismanagement. you know, i saw an interview,

i think one of the final chiefs and they said something that resonated with me that the city was, well, multiple cities and people have to understand that los angeles is not out to dina. it's not policies like all of these are different, you know, municipality municipalities in the cities. so in terms of the, the, the city will just say, you know, all of a surrounding areas being prepared to fight these fires. they weren't prepared to fight multiple buyers with 70 to 100 miles arrow went in terms of mismanagement. i know for a fact and out to dina that my aunt and uncle and the rest of my family were notified very late. they were not notified when some other residents in out city and were notified. so that is a question that we have. why are they notified so late to the point where they want a they weren't able to take anything with them. mm hm. and there are so many questions i imagine among people affected. and some of them will actually,

unfortunately feel by misinformation regret, talk a little bit more about that, but often storage has have been responding. the fact that they, they, they could have been better prepared but, but it was going to be very hard to tackle the magnitude of all these fires and summer as we're having this conversation. fires are still burning. i believe in southern california and in california has been known for fire season, which used to be may through october. how as climate change contributed to changes that have made these fires more frequent, more severe. and also would you say that this something like this was expected quote, all sorts have planned and prepared better to 1st of all, thank you so much for having me. and yeah, that's exactly like you said earlier. this was kind of

a perfect storm of many different human driven activities and when it comes to the climate crisis. yes, los angeles has always experienced well, ayers, our landscape is very used to experiencing wildfire and a lot of the landscape, the plants, the native plants here are experienced with fire and are very fire resilience. but now we live in a time where the fire season in southern california is year round, and that is due to a few different doctors. the 1st is chaotic rainfall patterns. so we're not just experiencing drought in southern california. we're experiencing what climate scientists call whether we watch and whatever. flash happens when one year we might have record rain full and the next year we might have no rain fall. so last winter actually los angeles received that heard record rainfall. um, we actually uh, you know, experienced uh what people called a hurricane at that time. and this year we've had no rain when los angeles,

every winter usually receives about 5 inches of rain. so that weather flash causes the land to dry up very fast. and when the land drives up really fast, it becomes like a tinderbox, a lot of the vegetation becomes very dry, very quickly. so it's not just drought and like these very intense changes and weather patterns that are causing this. and then the other thing that really caused these buyers to spread really quickly was the wind. so los angeles experienced these experiences, the santa ana winds every single year, which are these really strong, powerful winds. and this year they were extremely intense. they were around a 100 miles per hour, and scientists are beginning to find the santa ana winds might be affected by the climate crisis. because the time in prizes is the stabilizing the global jet stream, which is this huge rivers higher and of weather that goes all around the globe. and

when that becomes the stabilized, when patterns can also become do stabilize. we're going to talk a little bit more about that towards the end of the show, but i want to bring rebecca in because something else spread really fast um, online, at least misinformation. there were a number of examples of this, including of course, the hollywood sign up in flames. turns out that was a, i was a california and rebecca, how dangerous did you find some of the information shared online the misinformation? i mean, of course, and what would you like maybe to clarify, to our viewers right now around the world? well, i would like to say that misinformation can really cost lives. there's been misinformation being spread around the karen bass, the funded the fire department. we know that is not true. the fire department budget was increased over the past year by over $17000000.00.

and a lot of people seem to be also taking that as karen bass is in charge of all of the la county when turn bath is only mirror of l. a proper alt, dina. and all of these other areas have different governments and different people in charge. karen bass can just give money to whatever, said he, she's not in charge of. there is something to be said about whether or not those funds were divested correctly or you know, put out directly to the departments that were needed by that. they were not the funded. and that's something that a lot of people just took and ran with a lot of people, spread misinformation that everyone in l a can can afford to rebuild as a, as one of the members of the panel was talking about earlier here. most people in los angeles are living either close to or below the poverty line. most of us in

los angeles are just regular every day people who are trying to survive. and it's sad to see that the misinformation has gone to the point where people are lacking empathy for the everyday human being. and it causes harm. and it causes us to overlook the systems that are in place that are contributing to this when you focus on the fact on some false narrative that the fire department was, was under funded. then we don't get to to look at things like climate change. we don't get to look at all what was the actual causes of servers ons times. we don't ask why didn't members of all to dina getting notified in time because we're too busy focusing on the wrong information. and, and it's been fascinating to see just how much of the conversation became political as well as you were saying, but something else that is going to affect residents, real people, and

a point that many of you are well too familiar. insurance companies letting california ins down. let me play out this clip of from social media and then we'll get you guys to react is eat since 1980 a california lawmakers have tried to possibly create affordable home insurance. i imposing price controls on insurance companies. obviously the companies have never really liked this, but off of the 2017 of 2018 mega fires, they just started say, leaving the state entire and the ones that have stuck around like state farm and all state now refused to write new policies for people in california and thousands of homeowners have had their policies canceled in the months before the fires even started after rob schneider took the extra day to bent his anger. say if you state for you with all your phony commercials, your a pilot, potentially insurance policies of california, i will never use state farm insurance ever again. so what happens if you struggle to get private insurance for your home? well, nearly 500000 californians are now relying on the fair plan,

deep states insurance of last resort, which is the catch spare is in built for the kind of disaster happening right now. when export estimates that just the pacific policies alone could seats $13000000000.00 in losses, and you want to know how much in reserves the fair plan has $385000000.00. not even a huff of 1000000000. these numbers are quite interesting to say the least naturally i believe you can not talk much about where things stand with you. you said you were not insured, but you were involved in and also i don't want to get you in trouble if you cannot . so probably better for me to put this question to ela, and i wanna ask you what you're hearing about how folks are planning to go on and, and what are their next steps when we see so many um residents talking about just insurance companies, letting them down definitely again the echoes a hurricane. katrina are so stark, but in terms of insurance,

thankfully my uncle in one of the 4 homes. they still have insurance, but they were a month away from being kicked off their insurance one month. and so there are many people in the house, the in the community that are facing a situation where they're finding, they're just finding out that they were kicked off their insurance. and i'm, i want to make something very clear that be just because you have insurance. it doesn't necessarily mean you have fire insurance and also liking katrina. many people had insurance, but they didn't necessarily have flood insurance. so people are just really digging through their own lives and finding out exactly what they were insured, insured for. and because of all of the chaos that's going on, would be my and it would be more chaos as unfortunately, you know, disasters are politicized. and unfortunately we, we have a government right now that's not that interested in helping people because the 8

on california is conditioned. they wants to put conditions on it. we don't know what's going to happen and that is my sincerest beer, the chaos, the disable ization. how uh, how home displacement all of these numbers are going to skyrocket, unemployment. i don't know why california, well, i do know why california is such a target. it is thought to be this liberal, the bastion, and that, that stronghold wants to be destroyed. but i want to say this, and i want to say very plainly, we are talking about everyday people. my on uncle worked very hard for their property for their land. my uncle lived in that house for 50 years. we're talking about, you know, generational uh we're talking about generational home ownership. most of the people that died in the else in a fire were elderly because they worked their entire lives just not only and just to owns a piece of property. and i think it's unfortunate that the state is being held

hostage for some political goal. and that is the part if i'm being very honest with you that upsets me more than anything. because this is not the time. this is, this is the time for the country to actually come together and to help each other as much as possible and i'll stand down for myself. i apologize. um, no, it's, it's, um, it's, um, i guess it reflects the opinion of many people. i don't know if of all people of california but um, i wanted to get your take naturally without sharing too much about your insurance situation. just as much as you can. how does it make you feel to see so many people talking about the fact that i'm in california, they're all rich and famous and so they can afford to rebuild from this, obviously not enough to post a video about it. uh, it may be really upset ignorance, so people in california the somehow an entire state as large as we are all just

every single person here bus one or living this very lavish theater of life. but i mean, some do some are lucky enough to have that and you know, bless them for it, but not everybody is in that category. unfortunately. and someone like myself, i'm basically living off of hopes and prayers right now. um, little savings i have left unfortunately, and i do believe by this has been way too politicized. i do not like the government's response to this. i don't like, i don't like, i don't know how this has been. what a size and um i, i think one of the very interesting elements, obviously in any crisis is the fact that people can indeed question authorities on the time of the response how they respond. but obviously the political infighting

is, is quite delicate because we are talking about people's lives. and one of the points picked up online was a specific program by the california department of corrections and rehabilitation were inmates help fight the fires. some online users were quite shocked by the fact that they were working in dangerous conditions and being paid about $1.00 an hour. we spoke to a former inmate royal ramey who has a different take on the program, take a look. so so 1st off, it's a valid terry program. um, no one has to do it. um, 2nd is opportunity that folks can learn a skill that could potentially turn into a career that they allow them to make, you know, 6 to a 100 k year with benefits retirement and much more. right? so, you know, when you at fire camps, you know, the benefits are pretty much you get better food, you can meet your, you know, meet with your family in a park like setting on,

instead of behind the glass. you're out there in the community, you know, helping out. um, instead of you being in a cell pretty much all day and like so for me it was life changing on like you said earlier, and it's about how we could put that training in to, to work once. um, you know, man and women come home and we need to provide a pathway to get folks a career that, that, that doesn't just help them. but it helps out our community. and because you know, fire prevention is a key and we need more of it. and rebecca, your take on this and all the conversation around it online, but also on how this crisis will further exacerbate all the crisis in and around los angeles. yes, los angeles is still recovering from the mass, disabling event that was covered 19 as our entire country. as honestly,

as the world is and west the burning of so many homes that were built in the forty's 56 these, there's a lot of assessed us in the air as we know assess this is a known carcinogen. and added on top of that, the new immuno compromise ation of many people to cover 19, well we're going to see is a doubling down almost on a mass disabling event. which is really tragic because the people who are the most affected are those who are already in the, you know, compromised. the people who have been left behind the most throughout this entire conversation have been disabled people. most of the people who were killed in the fires were not just elderly, but they were also disabled people who physically could not leave their homes and with people becoming newly disabled and new re compromised after over 19. and now

the effects of all of the specialists and other toxins in the air. people are unfortunately going to see exactly how little our infrastructure that supports disabled people when it comes time for emergencies like this. there it really is no plan to evacuate the disabled community. well, of course, looming above all these compounds in crisis is still climate change. summer going forward. why should we expect? is there a way to prepare for what is going to hit us as well? like we've been talking about the climate crisis is a threat multiplier. and every single systemic injustice that we've been talking about like the disabled community, like people who have been impacted from cuba. 19 the climate crisis is just going to make all of this worse. and every single person you know, that has been affected by the systemic injustices. climate change is just going to make that worse and in the future, we need to be better prepared for

t arctic weather patterns and more intense wildfires. and really we just need a government that believes in science at the very core. right now we have a presidential administration that does not believe in science, but it's making misguided decisions based on corporate greed. we have a president that is giving conditional support to california only if we start diverging water from northern california, which will, you know, also affects endangered fish populations in northern california. and so all these things are like very interconnected and we really need leadership that is grounded in science, pictures, and box 1st and foremost, and going into the future if we want to have a resilient community or so we have city resilience, state, and country. we need to protect the most vulnerable communities 1st as we needs to be prepared for t audit weather patterns. unfortunately,

we are out of time. i wants to hear more from natalie as well about her next steps from know about her family's concerns. but we will check with you guys again in a few weeks time to see how you were doing or in a few months time. i promise that thank you so so much for your time, somewhat rebecca know, and natalie, thank you for being part of the stream today. and thank you all for tuning in keeping touch with us online. you can use a hash tag for the handle energy stream and we will look into your questions and suggestions take care. and i'll see the examining the headlines, the thing, the says file home, we have to make it worth checking the discussion. obviously you cannot last deportations of millions of people on day, well exploring abundance of wealth, cloth programming. if you want an image of the comes from using a tradition,

then here it is designed to inform, motivates and inspire. we are the ones that are actually shaping the future that we want to live in. on august the era, we are going to see the series of legend some clothes and the stories of civilizations that market history wants. this is where the story of savannah do you have? any stories to tell? the shaker model was for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for its 11th edition, starting january the 1st and ending march the 31st 2025. for more information.
