and strong" winds will continue for days, pushing the fires further into residential areas. there are still active fires that are burning within the palisades area, making it extremely, extremely dangerous for the public. there's no power, there's no water, there's broken gas lines, and we have unstable structures. exit polls from croatia indicate the sitting president zoran milanovic has been re—elected in a landslide. a police officer dies on a uk motorway — struck by a lorry as she helps at a crash scene. detectives issue an appeal for witnesses. the world's largest island takes on donald trump — and warns the incoming us president to keep his hands off greenland.

hello i'm karin giannone. we start in la — where police say scammers and looters have been taking advantage of devastating wildfires — with one man dressing as a firefighter to try to burgle a home. 16 people have died in the fires, and 16 are missing — and with more strong winds forecast, the threat remains high. one of four fires burning through los angeles, the kenneth fire, is now 100% contained — meaning they have stopped it spreading. but firefighters are trying to prevent the biggest of the wildfires — palisades — from reaching the affluent suburb of brentwood. they are trying to stop the devastation already seen in the palisades village — this video shows the before and after in the upscale shopping area. on the left is what it looked like in march— and on the right is how it looks now. here's emma vardy with the latest from los angeles the race to stay ahead of the deadly fires

enters a sixth day. helicopters fly just above the smoke. below, the flames rage. butjust as progress is made, other areas ignite. in the fires�* wake, residents continue to journey back to where their houses once stood. for one, the reality is overwhelming. oh, my god... oh, my god! she cries. i felt like a zombie since tuesday. can't sleep. you literally cannot sleep, you just replay. sabrina, another palisades resident, picks through what is left of her childhood home. my bedroom was in the front over there with my sister. you know, it wasn't that big of a house but it had everything we needed. it's really sad. i feel so bad for my parents. it's all gone. there have been repeated warnings for people to stick

to night—time curfews — police urging the need for order. i saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter and i asked him if he was ok because he was sitting down. i didn't realise we had him in handcuffs. we were turning him over to the lapd because he was dressed like a fireman and he was not. he'd just got caught burglarising a home. that was my house. this is the main house... with tens of thousands of people staying in emergency hotels and shelters, they are safe for now, but have no idea where they will go next. serenity�*s family of 11 fled minutes before their home burned. people like me, without insurance, we don't know what we're going to do. we are at shelters like this. we are going all around town, some of us have lost our cars. some of us have lost our sense of being. the city faces a massive task to provide housing for the areas that are lost. the scale of the destruction in neighbourhoods is vast.

whole schools gone. as you know, our beloved south campus has been severely damaged by the recent fires and many of our families and staff have experienced great personal loss. crews had begun to slow the spread of the eaton fire but strong winds are driving it back into life. this helicopter�*s flying just above us, just dropping water now, trying to keep those flames at bay. above and below, they battle on. fire crews are now focusing their efforts up in the los angeles national forest, above altadena, where a new area of the blaze has just opened up and there's a renewed sense of urgency because down here is a large nasa facility that the flames have been moving towards. 16 people have now died in these fires. they are already among the deadliest in california's history. and officials say the

death toll will rise. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. six days into the firefight we're learning more about how people took matters into their own hands to save each other and their homes, as firefighters were stretched to the limits. rich snyder was a fire fighterfor 36 years. when he saw the flames, hejumped into action — saving most of his neighbourhood. he spoke to the bbc�*s helena humphrey. before started building two houses in between miscarriages. because the flames coming up. once it's got a hold of the structure, the # between two houses. . this has is. we couldn't go in. there was too much heat. eventually, this

23,000 acres have burned already. it still threatens areas like brentwood. we'll keep you up—to—date with the very latest from los angeles. ukraine's president volodymyr has said it is ready to hand over captured north korean soldiers to kimjong un if he can organise theirexchange for ukrainians held in russia. on saturday, these pictures, said to show the captured soldiers, were released. we have not been able to independently verify them. president zelensky said on sunday it was a �*matter of time�* before more north koreans were captured. the chief constable of north yorkshire police has paid tribute to an off—duty officer who was killed by a lorry as she was helping at the scene of a crash. constable rosie prior was on the verge of the a19 in north yorkshire when she — and another man — were hit. both died at the scene. olivia richwald reports.

pc rosie prior, a 45—year—old mother, had only been a police officer for two and half years when she was killed helping strangers on the a19 near thirsk. north yorkshire police said she epitomised the very best of british policing. pc rosie prior was off—duty but she stopped at the side of the road to help stricken motorists involved in an accident, and it was then that she and ryan welford were hit by a lorry and sadly died at the scene just on the other side of the road. north yorkshire police say she was an exemplary officer and they are devastated and they have made a heartfelt appealfor information. i just appeal to anyone who was driving southbound, northbound on the a19, about 8.55 yesterday morning, please get in contact with us if you have any dash cam footage or saw anything that may help. pc prior�*s family said she was a loving mum, wife, daughter, sister and auntie who will be deeply missed. ryan welford was 41 and from knaresborough. a teenage passenger in his car is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

most power. but what mr milanovic has done successfully as he's been picking up on the government when it slipped up. he's been picking up on the things that people don't like about the government — pointing out that the latest corruption scandal in croatia, where the health minister was arrested and put in pretrial detention before christmas on corruption charges — that's just the latest in a long string of corruption scandals involving croatia's government, pointing out inflation in croatia is the highest of anywhere in the european union. there's a real cost of living crisis which the government doesn't seem to be addressing _ government doesn't seem to be addressing in — government doesn't seem to be addressing in an _ government doesn't seem to be addressing in an effective - government doesn't seem to be addressing in an effective way. l addressing in an effective way. these are the things which croatians like to hear from mr milanovic, certainly in his first term, and now very much very given him the green light. die kelani. now time for the

sport with olly foster. hello from the bbc sport centre. it's been a gripping day in the third round of the fa cup. the two most successful sides in the history of the competition were facing each other with the 13 time winners and holders manchester united knocking out 1a time winners arsenal on penalties, after the game finished 1—1, they won the shoot—out 5—3, with joshua zirkzee scoring the winning kick, after united's turkish keeper altay bayindir had saved from kai havertz. he also saved a penalty from martin odegaard in normal time. the united captain bruno fernandes had given them a second half lead, but united then had diogo dalot sent off on the hour mark for a second booking and though garbriel equalised a few minutes later, arsenal couldn't make the extra man count, united hanging on until penalties. we have to compete no matter what the situation, and we competed today. i think they had more chances, but i think we deserve the win. it is not personal, didn't deserve the lose, we deserved the win. the way we play, the way

we fight was really tough since the beginning. we didn't have the ball too much, but we controlled without the ball. i want to also say thank you to the fans. it was unbelievable. unbelievable. obviously you mentioned the performance and what we did in relation to the position, you deserve to win the game by a mile, but the reality is that we are out, the only thing that will be judged as that. internally, i can't. i love my players, i love our team, and i love how good they are and what they do, because from a thousand games, you should lose one, and it was this one. non—league tamworth almost pushed tottenham to penalties, but lost in extra time. the semi pro outift created the better chances in normal time, but it was goaless after 90 minuites and spurs

after 90 minutes and spurs substitutions made a difference, dejan kulusevski with one of their goals in extra time as they won 3—0, spurs through to the fourth round for the 11th year in a row. here are all of sunday's results then. championship side hull are out of the competition, beaten by league two doncaster rovers on penalties after a 1—all draw. no further shocks though, as premier league sides newcastle, ipswich town and southampton all saw off lower tier opposition, as did crystal palace who had eberechi eze to thank as they beat stockport county 1—nil. and the draw had been made for the fourth round manchester united will welcome club legend ruud van nisterloy back to old trafford with his leicester side championship strugglers plymouth produced one of the weekend's shocks knocking out brtentford, their reward is liverpool at home. there's an all premier league tie bewteen aston villa v tottenham, leyton orient or derby county will play manchester city, see the full draw on the bbc sport website. those ties are over the second weekend in february. the australian open is underway

paramilitiary rapid support forces has admitted losing a key city to their army rivals, one of its biggest setbacks since the civil war began. these images are from wad madani, where celebrations broke out after the sudanese army officially announced the capture of the city. but in an angry audio message, the rsf�*s general mohamed hamdan dagalo vowed to continue fighting until victory, even if it took another twenty years. the group had held wad madani for the past year. since the start of the war in april 2023, tens of thousands of people have been killed and more than eleven million people displaced. opheera mcdoom is the former reuters head of office in sudan and now runs a school in khartoum. she explains why the rsf is such a strong force u nfortu nately, unfortunately, with the civilian government, after the revolution that ousted the former president bashir, the rsf was brought to the capital. it was a militia mainly working in darfur and was brought to

the capital by the former president to try to stop him being ousted. unfortunately, when they came they brought many tubes and it became... the people who brought over from bashir carried over the rsf and it became essentially a second army. when that happens, and you have to armies in the country, many saw this as almost inevitable that they return on each other. unfortunately, they had so many troops already in the capital, where almost the entire economy of the country is based, and then when that happened and they turned on each other in an instant, you had a war that happened in every part of the country and in every army base. they turned on each other, and it was almost instantaneous. there wasn't any warning. the war happened very quickly. people had to stay where they were for nearly ten days without water, electricity, food. when they were in hospital, they had to stay there. after ten days there was a lull and they were able to

leave. we saw pretty much a mass exodus of khartoum and many cities. khartoum the capital is still the focus of the fighting. there is still a lot of areas controlled by the rsf. the army is making ground but this is seen as a key battleground. it is a gateway to the capital or gaining control of the capital. it is significant in terms of the economy of the country. having people return home and try to rebuild. the nobel peace prize winner, malala yousafzai, has urged muslim leaders not to legitimise the taliban government in afghanistan. speaking in the pakistani capital islamabad, the campaigner told a summit on girls education that the taliban didn't see women as human beings. she called on the muslim world to show true leadership on the issue. ms yousafzai was evacuated from pakistan as a fifteen year—old after being shot by the pakistani taliban on her school bus. our pakistan correspondent, azadeh moshiri, was at the conference in islamabad and sent this report.

the muslim world league and pakistan's education minister have told us that the taliban government were invited, but they did not attend this summit. when we spoke to the head of the muslim world league about is engaging directly with the taliban government, he said, they speak to everyone and that there was no solid evidence in islam to bar girls from education. when approached, the taliban declined to comment to the bbc. had they attended the last two days, they would have been in the same room as malala yousafzai. this is one of a handful of trips she's made to the country since 2012. back then, she was a young girl riding a school bus when she was shot by the pakistani taliban. she was targeted because she spoke out about girls education. now, muslim leaders and scholars are doing the same. the remote island of greenland found itself thrust into the spotlight this week — with donald trump showing a renewed interest in taking control of it — and his son donald trumpjunior flying in for a four

and a half hour visit. greenland's geographical position between the us, europe and russia means it has huge value — in terms of security and natural resources. the island has had a troubled history with denmark, which first colonised it 300 years ago. our special correspondent fergal keane has been talking to greenlanders about what they want for their future. it is one of the world's last wild frontiers. glimpsed in the short winter sunlight, we're travelling into a place of pristine beauty. this place is so remote that it's hard to imagine it as the front line of a major geopolitical row. but up and down this fjord and isolated settlements, and across the island of greenland, they're talking about trump. but again and again, i would hear this is their land. welcome to...home!

angutimmarik hansen and his family hunt and raise sheep for a living. what do you feel about trump? what a stupid human in the world, like trump. that's what you feel? yeah. i mean, we think about the us and trump. this is different. we need to maybe work together with us and not trump. there's worry here. an inuit culture that struggled against danish colonialism doesn't want any new power taking over. in the capital, nuuk, there's a feeling that the trump intervention has brought world attention to greenland's campaign for independence. and there's pragmatism. a desire for strong links and financial help from america and denmark. donald trump is a politician. he's a hard businessman

and we know his rhetoric. and that rhetoric is something we have gotten used to since 2019. but what is necessary here is that greenland, as a sovereign state, should negotiate directly with the united states and not denmark. newsreel: the eskimo are very primitive, - and the danish government is doing its his best to keep civilisation from spoiling them. to understand what greenlanders feel about the colonial past, it's important to know about racism and abuses. ..when a ship comes in. hedvig frederiksen was only 1a when danish officials fitted her with a contraceptive coil without her permission in the 1970s. she's one of over 100 women suing denmark for its efforts to limit greenland's population. translation: it was i a very awful experience. i was still a child. it was just awful. i think the danish people looked down on us, especially back then.

what do you need denmark to do? translation: iwant them to apologise. i however mighty, those wanting to control this land must reckon with an enduring struggle for dignity and self—determination. fergal keane, bbc news, greenland. oui’ our website has the latest on the fires in la. the live page is being updated all the time. that is also available on the bbc news app. strong winds are continuing to be focused on los angeles, meaning the threat of fire remains very high. that threat will continue until wednesday. the situation is updated minute by minute, as you can see. hello. a cold day. further
