11:02 am
through entire neighborhoods in los angeles. at least ten people are dead, and investigators warn that the true toll will not be known for days. >> plus, today was sentencing day for donald trump. the judge issuing no penalties in the criminal hush money case against the president elect. but his conviction stands. trump, appearing virtually in court just ten days before his inauguration. and he's got plans to appeal. and a jobs report. that was the last thing wall street wanted to see. job growth is actually strong, but that's a problem for investors who hope to see more rate cuts from the fed. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. calmer winds are fortunately giving southern california firefighters a break in the fight against some raging
11:03 am
wildfires. but the damage so far is hard to wrap your head around, and the dangers really far from over here. >> the eaton fire ravaging altadena is now 3% contained. only flames are still threatening multiple communities, and more gusty winds are expected here in the coming days. at least ten people have died across los angeles county and entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. >> uh, you know, my sister lost her home and altadena. and it's very devastating to see. um, i was there when she got a picture of her home, and you couldn't even recognize it. it was basically a parking lot, and it's pretty, pretty bad. i mean, her whole block blocks of houses destroyed. i was there, and i saw it, and it was pretty devastating to see. so i was watching the news this morning. and you guys, someone said they need a bag. so, you know, we had to buy a bag, a box of bags. we had some extra clothes, so that's the least we could do. i feel pretty bad because my apartment made it so, you know, it's just so many people going through a rough time right now. so, you
11:04 am
know, we all got to help each other out. um, but i know we're going to get through this, and, you know, we're going to rebuild and it's going to be better. it's going to be stronger than ever. but really rough times right now. i've been here 44 years and i've never seen anything this bad. >> cnn's stephanie elam is in the middle of the devastation there in altadena, california. and, stephanie, we understand the national guard is there in the area. >> oh, yeah, i can tell you when we got here overnight that the national guard was out there stopping people. and when i stopped to speak to one officer as i was coming through, he said to me that there had been people looting up in this area. so there have been arrests because of that. but when you look at it, first of all, i don't even know why you would want to come in here and do this. when we came in, it was so smoky overnight. but look at this. you've got places like this where from this angle, you could barely even see that a house is there all along the street. it's like the chimneys are totem poles of these homes. the memories that used to be here for all of
11:05 am
these people. cars are burned through. you've got the chimneys, besides the chimneys, the washers and dryers that are still there and some of the places. but all of this all up and down this block, this is another viewpoint of just how bad this is. and you can go another block over and it's burned down. there was firefighters on that side of the street back there putting out hot spots. this is all throughout altadena, which is now 14,000 acres that has been burned here. and they're saying the number of structures that have been lost, it could be over 10,000. it keeps going up. and keep in mind we're not done yet. the fires are still burning. they have some small containment here, but there's still a lot of destruction that is waiting to happen. there are still a lot of people who are evacuated. there are some people who have warnings still now, i think some are being lifted right now as we're seeing things start to clear up here. but this shows you just how massive this devastation is in a very populated part of
11:06 am
l.a. county. you know, a lot of times we talk about these fires burning way out. this is here inside the city. we've got a fire truck that's going to come through here right now. but this is good. we want these fire trucks here because they're going through patrolling to make sure that everything is okay. hello there. so that's what they're doing. they stop, they see a hot spot and they go ahead and they stop. and they work to get those hotspots down. because a lot of times what happens in these fires, they burn down into the root systems and then they can spark up new fires. if those winds come back. and we do know that the winds are going to be an issue later on. but this just gives you an idea. this is just a little microcosm of how bad this is up here and for so many of these people, because this is inside of the evacuation zone, they're not even able to get up here to see how bad it is. >> yeah. and they don't know. they can only wonder. stephanie elam, thank you for the report from altadena. the next several days are going to be critical
11:07 am
for firefighters because another potentially dangerous wind event is forecast here in the next week. so let's go to cnn meteorologist chad myers, who's in the cnn weather center for the latest. chad, that's about the last thing that we want to hear right now. >> sure, absolutely. and i think tuesday, wednesday will be the key when we are 35 to 45mph. let's talk about the containment number that you mentioned. and so did stephanie. 3% for the eaton fire, 8% for the palisades fire higher numbers with the smaller fires. containment means on the outside ring of the fire. what are the chances that it doesn't ever go past that and get to be bigger? well, there's only 3% of that fire line around the eaton fire that they're saying. nope, we've got it stopped. it's not going any farther. palisades fire 8%, 8% of that fire line, which would be miles around. we're not talking about the middle of the fire that's already burning or still burning or smoldering. we're talking about the outer edge.
11:08 am
how much of it is actually stopped that will never get past that. and the problem is the winds are going to be shifting directions. so the firefighters have been all fighting in one direction. and now the winds are shifting. so you can't really tell that the eastern side of that fire line is perfect and good and will hold if the wind is going to blow from the west and blow at you. so this is part of the containment number conundrum. we do have awesome conditions today and even for tomorrow. really very, very good. and then all of a sudden again on sunday and into sunday night, look at all the colors again. malibu, 44mph. this is overnight after midnight saturday into sunday, calming back down on sunday afternoon. but another firestorm could possibly happen tuesday and wednesday. something else on this map the orange. the orange is severe drought. all of the big fires are in the severe drought. so far, nothing in the
11:09 am
moderate drought. it hasn't rained here since really the middle of march. so yes, we are in severe drought. yes, we had a lot of plant life that did grow last year and now it's dead. guys. >> and chad, is there any indication that there might be moisture on the way that we could potentially see rain? >> yeah. let me show you the next seven days. absolutely not a drop. maybe something south of san diego, a 10th of an inch, tops. no, this is a dry condition. now, we are still seeing the wind today. and even for tomorrow, we don't get as much wind. that's the good news. but no chance of any precip at all. >> chad myers, thank you so much for that update. we want to get some perspective on how the fire fight and crews are taking advantage of the calmer winds that chad just described. let's bring in kenichi haskett, a section chief with the l.a. county fire department assigned to the palisades fire. thank you so much for being with us, chief. i do want to get an update from you about
11:10 am
the palisades fire. we know it's 8% contained. how much longer do you think before it can be fully contained? >> we want to fully contain this as soon as possible. not only. firefighters and our first responders. law enforcement and to return normalcy, but we want to get people back home. so infrastructure is devastated. so the power, the water, the sewer, everything is it's a unfortunately almost looks like what a war zone might look like. so we want to get people back as soon as possible. but it could be weeks. it could be months i don't know. i can't forecast that future you guys mentioned. i want to hit on it real quick. it's sunny, it's dry. but the weather, those are good recipes for continuing wildland fires. we don't have the winds that he mentioned, which is great. so we can get that aircraft in the air. but it's sunny when it's sunny and there's open flame. it adds to the fire
11:11 am
behavior in the sense that the fire will keep burning. >> yeah, and there's so much fuel out there is the other problem, right? so much dry brush because there hasn't been a whole lot of moisture in that area. how critical is it for your crews to right now capitalize on the winds being relatively subdued before we see that resurgence going into next week it allows for a more precise water drops and retardant drops from our aircraft and our rotary wing helicopters, so they're able to get ahead of it and stop those large fire front, uh, walls of fire that you see that could be 20, 30ft high. >> so we'll take advantage of that with our aircraft, and it helps eliminate those spot fires that we're seeing, that we're going literally multiple football fields up to miles away. the other night. >> yeah i do wonder if you have any update for us on injuries or the death toll. obviously it's a difficult process as
11:12 am
firefighters comb through areas that were previously inaccessible, but we want to give viewers an update on on where things stand on that end. >> uh, my condolences, first and foremost to all the families that have had member family die. that's not something that we ever want to do as firefighters and law enforcement is to start recovering bodies on the fire line. um, so i can't give you an accurate number. unfortunately, that number might grow that we already have out. um, so there has been multiple fatalities just on several of our fires, the eaton fire and unfortunately, the fire that i'm on, the palisades fire. >> yeah, it is one of the more tragic parts of all the. awful scenes that we've been watching unfold. i do want to ask you about and i just want to let our viewers know these are actually live images of firefighters battling blazes right on the fire lines. and when we zoomed out earlier, you
11:13 am
could see houses on the outskirts there. so these are literally the front lines where firefighters are right now. chief, i'm curious about how you all are working to get a handle on an understanding of what might have sparked some of these fires. i know that someone was arrested for suspected arson near the kenneth fire. do you have any indication to this point on what may have started the palisades fire or any of the others? >> i know you spoke to the kenneth that the persons suspects under arrest for allegedly, uh, possibly starting that fire, but that's under investigation at this time. hours will be under investigation for a length of time. so we need to let law enforcement continue that process. you mentioned the homes next to that open flames. i don't have visual, but i want people to know if they're in a warning area. they need to be ready to go. if we have to issue an evacuation order, the wind will come tonight. i don't want we don't want to we do not want to displace
11:14 am
anyone from your homes. that's where your memories are made. that's where your family lives. but if you're in a warning area, please be ready to evacuate. if an order is issued. that's how we save lives. that's how we can help keep you safe. that's our number one priority is to get you out safely. so i urge your viewers and your listeners to please adhere to the warning and be ready to go. if an order is issued when an order is issued, you need to leave immediately because it means imminent danger is coming. and we have law enforcement. the national guard, here to prevent looters. and if we do have looters on scene, they will be arrested. >> battalion chief kenichi haskett, we have to leave the conversation there. thank you so much for the update. >> you're welcome. have a good day. >> you too. and still to come. today we saw a historic sentencing. president-elect donald trump given no penalty in the new york hush money case. still, he will become the first president sworn in, a
11:15 am
sentenced convicted felon. >> plus, you'll see the newly released video that shows the chaotic scene as new orleans police officers surrounded the pickup truck that rammed a crowd of people on bourbon street. we have that and much more coming up on cnn news central. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> check in time is three. >> it's 255. >> i know. >> is this what he's doing now? >> as your host, i have some rules. first, no showers longer than five minutes. this isn't a spa. no games, no fun. >> yes, coach. >> meanwhile, at a vrbo, when other vacation rentals make you share your turf with a host,
11:16 am
try one. you have all to yourself. >> i mornings cough congestion. i'm feeling better all in one and done with mucinex kickstart. >> headaches better now. >> mucinex kickstart gives all in one and done relief with a morning jolt of instant cooling sensation. it's comeback season. >> it's half time. time to go to the bathroom. >> never slams. >> the shower and count how many full baths you have. >> it's a jack and jill. >> selling your home to open door is so easy you can do it during half time by moderate to severe crohn's disease and my ulcerative colitis symptoms kept me out of the picture. >> now there's skyrizi. i've got places to go and i'm feeling free control of my symptoms means everything to me. >> control is everything to me. >> and now i'm back in the picture. >> the most significant symptom relief at four weeks with skyrizi skyrizi is proven to help deliver remission and help

11:20 am
hush money case. that ruling means that trump walks free. he faces no jail time, no penalties for the 34 felony counts of business fraud that a jury convicted him of in the hush money criminal trial. >> today's historic courtroom moment, in which trump appeared virtually marked the first time a president elect was sentenced for a criminal conviction. the unprecedented hearing, unfolding just ten days before trump takes the oath of office and begins his second term. and at today's sentencing, he showed zero contrition. >> i'm totally innocent. i did nothing wrong. they talked about business records and the business records were extremely accurately counted. i had nothing to do with them. anything that was done by an accountant or bookkeeper who i think gave very credible testimony and was corroborated by everybody that was asked. >> cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid joins us now. paula, walk us through how the sentencing played out. >> so president elect trump
11:21 am
appeared for this sentencing virtually. that's pretty unusual. but this was something the judge allowed as a nod to his status as president elect in that order. where he allowed this, he said, look, i know you have a lot of physical and mental demands. i'm gonna allow you to do this virtually. trump was beside his lawyer, todd blanche. we heard from both of them. we heard prosecutors who once again defended their case, which has come under a lot of scrutiny. they also reminded folks that trump, throughout this case, has attacked the integrity of the judicial system, tried to undermine it in the view of the public. so we heard a lot of things that we've heard from these folks throughout the course of this case. the one real surprise, i think, actually came from judge juan merchan, where he kind of talked about how he views this case now that trump has been reelected. let's take a listen to what he said. >> ordinary citizens do not receive those legal protections. it is the office of the president that bestows those far reaching protections to the office holder. and it was the citizenry of this
11:22 am
nation that recently decided that you should once again receive the benefits of those protections, which include, among other things, the supremacy clause and presidential immunity. >> so here, judge juan merchan talking about how now that trump is president elect, he has certain legal protections, right? he has immunity. he has certain privileges. so that's why he has sentenced him to this unconditional discharge, which is really remarkable. right. you're punished more harshly if you jaywalk in most cities in this country. and even though the trump lawyers have fought this case every step of the way, even in just the past few days, i mean, firing off appeal, appeal, appeal. they believe that they were walking into today victorious. if your client can be convicted of 34 felonies and walk away with less than a slap on the wrist. i don't even know if this is a wag of the finger. i mean, that is an enormous victory for them. and they believe that this is really just today checking a box so they can proceed with their appeals, which i expect will last well into 2026, which
11:23 am
is a decade after the conduct in question. >> also an important reminder of the legal penalties you could face if you jaywalk. >> jaywalking is very serious. you can get very hurt from jaywalking and hush money payments. be careful out there, kids. >> paula reid, thank you so much. with us now to discuss is defense attorney misty marris. also joining us is former federal judge john e jones. the third judge jones is also the president of dickinson college. thank you both for sharing. part of the afternoon with us, misty. have you ever defended a client who headed into sentencing knowing that they wouldn't face any penalty? >> yeah, boris, this is very, very rare. so, judge mark carney order, which actually set out what the penalty would be an unconditional discharge is not common at all, especially in new york state courts, where i practice. that being said, in this particular case, he recognized that constitutionally, this criminal case could not go on. and truly, this sentencing was now
11:24 am
or never. and so he laid that out in that order strategically so that this case could be brought to finality. with that laid out in the order, in addition to there being no penalty and a trump appearing via zoom as opposed to being into the courtroom, it really undermined any argument of the trump team that this needs to be put off or put on pause for any period of time, because it was not a burden to the transition. as the supreme court ultimately ruled. so this is a very unusual situation for a very unusual case. >> judge, i wonder what you made of judge merchan commenting on the novelty of the case, making clear it was the office of the presidency that provided a shield, that it's not donald trump, the person who is, in a sense above the law. it is donald trump, the president or any president who sort of is in a way. >> well, brianna, i think this is a case like no other. and i'm sure, pretty sure that i
11:25 am
can state with certitude that we'll never see a case like this again. i agree with my colleague. i, i don't know what else judge mershon, justice mershon could have done under the circumstances. i think he handled it with admirable restraint. and one thing is clear to me that if he hadn't entered that order on january the third, that within it indicated that he was going to give the unconditional release, and if he hung out that he was uncertain about the disposition. i'm not sure that the supreme court of the united states last evening would have chosen to punt this case. that might have been five four the other way, if, in fact, they thought that president elect trump was subject to jail time. so, yeah, it's a slap on the wrist, there's no question. but at least from the people's standpoint and from justice marchand's standpoint, they tied a ribbon around the case. >> and misty, while trump is in
11:26 am
office, his attorneys are expected to just, you know, exhaust every legal avenue trying to continue fighting the conviction, even though there isn't a penalty here. how do you think that's going to go? where do they focus their efforts ultimately? does this go to the supreme court potentially while trump is president? >> yeah, we're absolutely going to see this be appealed for. sure. so right now the focus of the efforts is going to be twofold from an appeal perspective. so there's the appeal of judge marchand's immunity ruling. remember the supreme court decision on immunity came out after the trial. so there were arguments raised by the defense team that certain evidence should have never made it into the courtroom because it would have fallen under some of the parameters of presidential immunity that were set forth in the supreme court's decision. so that's one aspect of the appeal that we know is going to be pursued. and by the way, that's new law. that law is going to be shaping for decades to come. so that's certainly going to be a very novel issue for the appellate court. and
11:27 am
then we have all of the issues relating to the constitutionali ty of the trial and conviction. and while there's many issues that the trump team will pursue, the most novel issue and the issue that will that will have some teeth for the trump team is going to be whether or not under the proposition of federal the supremacy clause of the constitution, that a federal a federal statute can serve as the predicate crime for this state level charge. so it's going to be about the way that that case was formulated. two state misdemeanors elevated to a felony using federal election law. so those are going to be the true the two primary avenues, although we're going to see lots of other issues raised relating to the evidence that came into the courtroom. but i think those two are novel. they're new for the appellate courts. he has to go through all of the state appellate court system, exhaust all those remedies, and then we could see it in the federal court. and it's likely that at least a portion of these issues will be decided by the supreme court.
11:28 am
>> and, judge, you mentioned how the court narrowly ruled allowing the sentencing to proceed. does that give you any sense of how they might rule if an appeal eventually winds up there? >> well, i think what was just said was brilliantly stated. it's a it's a very apt characterization of where this case is going to go. one argument, of course, that falls away and is moot at this point is president-elect trump's argument that the president elect is subject to immunity that no longer needs to be litigated? of course, i think this is the kind of case that makes appellate lawyers a lot of money. it's going to be in the appellate courts. and i absolutely agree with my colleague. this case is probably headed to the federal courts in a habeas action and other actions, and probably will end up before the supreme court. and by the way, the supreme court set the table for themselves with this case by an immunity decision. my view this past year that, frankly, i
11:29 am
think was somewhat inscrutable in parts and perhaps overbroad, and they bought this kind of a case by that ruling. >> judge johnny jones, misty morris, thank you so much to both of you. really appreciate it. thank you. and when we come back, body cam video showing the moment that new orleans police officers killed the suspect in that horrific new year's day attack on bourbon street, we're going to show some of that video next. >> i lay on my back frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts and then everything changed, dana said. you're still you and i love you, super man. >> the christopher reeve story february 2nd on cnn. >> hey, ryan reynolds here for, i guess, my 100th mint commercial. no no no no no no no no no no i mean, it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. i mean, honestly, when i started this, i thought i'd only have to do like four of these. how are there still people paying 2 or 3 times that

11:34 am
now, for your again. >> that's one 800 712 3800. >> i'm natasha chen in los angeles, and this is cnn. >> now to a new perspective on the deadly terror attack in new orleans that unfolded just hours into the new year. police have just released body cam video that shows officers shooting and killing the driver who rammed a truck through bourbon street, killing 14 people. >> the video is just a few seconds long, but we have to warn you, certain portions of it could be felt as disturbing by some viewers. cnn's omar jimenez joins us now with the details. omar, walk us through the footage. >> yeah. so this footage happened just after 3 a.m. the early morning of the attack, the early morning of new year's day, and it picks up essentially after the truck had already barreled through bourbon street, hitting people and killing people, as we know as well. and what you're going to see is officers approaching the driver's side of the crashed truck where airbags, airbags have already deployed. and then police say gunshots came from inside the truck. they returned
11:35 am
gunfire. and you'll see how quickly things change in truly a millisecond. and as you warned as well, i'll do the same. some of what you're about to see may be disturbing. so you see just how quickly that happens there. two officers were injured in that. of course, the driver was killed as well. but i want to bring up a specific frame of that video because it happens very quickly. here is you see that red circle there? it appears to be a muzzle flash from behind the deployed airbag. so police believe that he shot from behind again. those deployed airbags, and it would have been out of sight as these officers approached and got close to the driver's side. and remember, there were also two ieds investigators say were
11:36 am
placed in coolers in the area as well. but they, of course did not detonate as well. so the situation clearly could have been much worse than it already was. as you may imagine, the chief of police said this was well within their policy of use of force as well. but also there might be questions over why just this specific aspect of the video is out. that's because the police department says that's what they have purview over. that's the officer related shooting. the wider scene is still under investigation by the fbi, who could release if they wanted to. but we're getting this for right now from the new orleans police department. >> all right, omar jimenez, thank you so much for that. and in california, tens of thousands of people are in evacuation zones as firefighters are battling raging wildfires. next, we'll talk to a business owner from altadena, one of the hardest hit communities, about how they're dealing with the devastation. >> the whole story with anderson cooper is a five time emmy winner for long form journalism. this week, l.a.

11:46 am
conversation i haven't really had. um, the worries i mean, i the worries are about about the sort of marginalized among us, right. people who didn't, whose houses weren't insured or people who are not going to have the resources to find another place to live. you know, i think for my community and the people that i that i know, we all turn immediately to the marginalized among us and say, well, how is that person? you know, we have we have. i'm going to start crying. but, um i woke up to a text from our dishwashers just said my house burned down. we lost everything. and this is a guy with, you know, definitely doesn't have insurance. not necessarily a place to go. and you just realize i'm i'm as fortunate as anyone could be. i have a friends. i have a place to stay. we have we have resources like that. but there are so many people. it's such a difficult city to live in

have been declared in tennessee, arkansas, georgia and north carolina. u.s. officials telling cnn that chinese hackers infiltrated the u.s. government office that reviews foreign investments for national security risks. >> this breach is just one in a long string of alleged chinese cyber espionage campaigns against the u.s. government in just the past year. cnn's cybersecurity reporter sean lingus is here to discuss his exclusive reporting. sean, walk us through it. what are you learning? >> right. >> so if you were sitting in beijing and trying to think of a list of targets in the u.s. government to try to steal information from, this one would be pretty high on the list. it's a called the committee on foreign investment in the u.s. it's a very powerful interagency group led by the treasury secretary, but also includes the pentagon secretary and the homeland security secretary. and they review foreign investments in the united states that might pose a national security risk, which you could think of a long list of that. there's many land being bought by nearby military bases. that's been a
11:55 am
concern. and so this committee is definitely reviewed. chinese investments into the u.s. and now we have some evidence and reporting that says the cyber espionage campaign was carried out against that office to try to potentially ascertain what they're studying, what potential investments they could block, and how they might need to divert their investment strategy. and that was just one office in the treasury department that was hacked. another one was the sanctions office that focuses on sanctioning foreign adversaries to include china or russia, et cetera.. and just last week, sanctioned chinese companies. so it's very logical and it's also very difficult to prevent, given the skill set that we're talking about. the chinese government has, you know, more than all other companies, all other countries combined in terms of cyber capabilities, according to the fbi director. so it's a very thorny problem. and the treasury says they've kicked out the hackers. china, i should add, denies having done this, as they often do. so
