a paci landscape the blaze destroyed thousands of homes separate fires have forced two hundred thousand people from their homes in thousand oaks in ventura county on friday the entire city of men have also had to be evacuated. the malibu home to the rich and famous but it's wealthy residents have been ordered to leave for their own safety as residents took to the highways and fled a wall of fire swept towards the pacific ocean emergency services are struggling to contain the wildfires more than two hundred thousand people have been evacuated from their homes and the thirty's warn there could be worse ahead. liking another one to sunday so there's not going to be really. bright can tell you there are far potters in our first responders are doing all they can to protect lives the proper environment. eight hundred kilometers to the north another wildfire is

raging flames have already consumed the town of paradise more than six thousand seven hundred homes have been burned here making it the most destructive blaze in california's history nine people died trying to escape and many of those who survived left with nothing. so i was just coming up the street would be my neighbor and again i didn't really buy a whole. group of that so. we bought bar as a lot of our business in a matter of suckers only thing we got our credit cards and our bank cards we had virtually nothing when we started over president trump is blaming california for poor forest management and he's threatened to hold back some federal aid payments right now the residents of california have more pressing concerns. all right and joining us now from los angeles is janice chasen capital and yes hi jason how

dangerous on the blazes sway your law there extremely dangerous i'm about twenty miles south of the fire as you can see the smoke line behind me the fire isn't golfing southern california right now where it's seventy thousand acres two hundred fifty thousand people have been evacuated and the fire is chewing up dr brush it's . totally dry and everything everything in its path is being charred resources right now for the firefighters are being warned very very thin we actually have some agencies from outside of southern california coming in to help out and and the winds have calmed a bit yesterday they were at about sixty five to seventy miles an hour right now they're at fifty to sixty miles an hour which is just pushing it towards the coast and then south towards a very densely populated area there is no relief in sight right now tomorrow morning the winds are expected to pick back up to about seventy miles an hour.

jason other any signs that california firefighters are any closer to getting these bases and to control. absolutely not right now we're at zero percent containment and people are just hoping for the best this morning earlier it was very cold out so that helped a little bit but we are still at zero percent containment and again these resources are spread extremely extremely thin or watching houses go up in flames in seconds and there's no way to get up in these very hilly areas these very hilly terrain multimillion dollar homes going up in flames in a matter of two to three seconds and there's nothing that firefighters can do they do have some strike teams that are set up in certain areas to try and prevent homes from going up in flames but it really is kind of one of those things where mother nature needs to help out and we're not getting that relief. jason here describing an incredibly at disturbing picture there but how

a california is reacting to president donald trump essentially accusing the state government of an attack saying fine that is for us. it really depends on who you ask if us certain people they say that's right you know the president is right but if you ask another certain sector of the population here in southern california they disagree with the president that the forest needs to grow the forest needs to do its thing and in it bringing in heavy equipment to clear some of the brush is affecting the nature so it really depends on who us. journalist jason capital in your reporting for us in los angeles thank you thank you. again it's get you updated now on some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of central american migrants who have back on the move saturday special mexico city's subway trains with members of a caravan headed to the u.s. border to the north of the city to continue the journey u.s. president donald trump has simply military to the border to prevent the migrants
