good to have you with us we begin tonight at the gates of hell in california that's how residents are describing wildfires in the north and south of the state one blaze sweeping through the city of paradise which is just north of the state capital sacramento and killed at least twenty nine people more than two hundred people are still unaccounted for and this is one of the deadliest fires in the state's history southern california is burning in ventura county fire is ingolf a freeway the death toll statewide thirty one as dry winds fanned the flames the los angeles county fire chief says that his firefighters are doing everything possible to contain the flame.

we can estimate if they were down structures at risk but are still here to police. the weather right now is mentioned earlier we're expecting up to forty mile per hour winds through tuesday. our primary focus right now are foreign fighters and listening to disperse my. property protection and line containing right now we are pretty soon one containing this fire we're going to be working all day no night to try to increase it reinforce containment. journalist jason he is in los angeles good evening to you jason you are rather close to malibu and it's one of those california coastal communities iconic known around the world how are people there coping with these fires. i'll be honest with you we're frustrated and a lot of people who live in the malibu in thousand oaks area this very affluent

area they have been homeless for several days now and it's unclear when they're going to be able to get back into the area to see if they're all is nothing but a pile of lumber or if their home made it through the fire's fire response teams are saying that it's still too dangerous to get into those areas because it's really a tight community there is tight and narrow streets in that area so if the flare up does happen fire crews won't be able to save anybody what are the plans of firefighters are they planning simply to try to extinguish the flames or are they hoping to contain them until the fires burn themselves out. right now containment is the number one priority they're using helicopters and fixed wing aircraft to drop fire retardant on a massive footprint around the malibu area about one hundred forty square miles

worth of terrain is what they're trying to. to encompass into the footprint of the rules lea fire that is burning down here and everything that's inside that footprint if a flare up happens they'll get to it but as long as the fire stays within this containment line and they're making some progress but not much but as long as that fire sees within that line they're making progress according to the fire response team and we want our viewers to be aware that there are fires in the south where you are the south of california and also in northern california hundreds of people are still missing further north in butte county where the town of paradise used to be what's the latest from there. complete another devastation of people's homes cars power lines anything in the fire's path was chewed up

and incinerated in moments the number of people missing is really hard for people to comprehend but people were sitting at home and law enforcement officials jumped in their cars they knocked on their doors and they said you've got to go and you've got to go now people don't have cell phones there's no cell service and people don't have identification because they had to get out at a moment's notice so it's extremely scary for those people up there. jason kidd but only our reporting tonight from los angeles jason thank you very much thank you. eleven people have been killed in an exchange of fire between israel and palestinians in gaza now the fighting was sparked by an israeli forces special operation on sunday which reportedly left seven palestinians and an israeli officer dead this was followed by israeli airstrikes and another one has been reported on a t.v. station run by the ruling hamas in just the last few hours earlier fired

a barrage of rockets into israel. the response from have asked has come stick and fast the billowing black smoke a telltale sign of another mortar attack the israeli military says more than two hundred rockets have been fired into its territory today one morsel reportedly struck a bus injuring a nineteen year old man. this is what prompted the attacks according to israel sunday's operation was supposed to be covert but the remains of a car apparently used by israeli special forces point to a mission gone wrong. the math says the forces shot sat and killed a local commander both sides then exchanged fire and the israeli soldiers were evacuated by air. i saw explosions and lights and then isaura helicopter it came down in this area here it was only here for seven or

eight minutes and then it took off again and left after it took off the israeli army struck the area they hit the car here and there explosions they struck the entire area. seven palestinians killed in the operation were buried on monday the procession attended by thousands a mix of grief and raw anger. the mourners demanded revenge scenes like this don't bode well for fragile peace efforts in the increased crucial financial aid necessary to pay these people has been flowing in from qatar in recent weeks but israel controls the access the returns are under arrest could jeopardize that as well as talks with egypt and the u.n. . and this is an open battle between us and the zionist enemy only responsible for this crime and its ramifications here in tel aviv israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu convened his security cabinet israel went to school i

used the sales of its action except to say sunday's operation was not intended as an abduction or assassination are more sad for the reason gazans skies are full of rocket fire again and violence has returned to the region. where some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world amnesty international has withdrawn its most prestigious human rights prize for among song suchi the group accuses the me and more leader of perpetuating human rights abuses by keeping silent about violence against the real injured muslim minority stanley the man who created the x. men the avengers and black panther has died at the age of ninety five as the top writer at marvel comics and later as its publisher lee was widely considered the architect of the contemporary comic book or one hundred years ago women here in germany won the right to vote today germany's chancellor angela merkel

marked this in temporary of women's suffrage here in berlin she paid tribute to the people who fought to change the wall a century ago but today women are still under represented and not only in germany's parliament. at the ceremony women were once over represented and the a few men women hand at the german historical museum to celebrate the centennial of the women's suffrage movement chancellor merkel was at the center of the celebrations she's the first woman in germany to hold the post of chancellor and today that fact how special importance. and you with no one laughs at a girl anymore when she says she wants to be a minister or chancellor. at the end of last year this. was a guy some were asking the question of whether a man should be allowed to do it. so i think that's all it's about i didn't make

that out of this. however symbolically significant it may be to have a woman at the helm women are still under represented in german parliament and when it comes to the economy science and culture women count for hof the population but make up only thirty percent of the members of parliament within government there's growing demand for laws that would increase the number of women in parliament. then the n i lament went. oh when we have a parliament and large committees that represent the people. when the fact is it is then it's a good goal to say that half of them should be women. and those agnel taught though it is about the population is fairly represented. in the goal must be parity parity everywhere. germany still has a long way to go on that front. but chancellor merkel didn't want to be pinned down

about how to get there. the defense ministers of germany and france are in the west african state of mali to shore up a peace accord in the troubled north of the country germany contributes around eight hundred fifty troops to a larger un peacekeeping force in the region which has been buffeted by a jihad is revolt and ethnic violence swathes of northern mali are beyond the government's control. the presidential palace in the capital bamako was a gift from the former libyan leader muammar gaddafi mali has no intention of following libya's lawless path but in a meeting with molly's prime minister. my guy german defense minister it was enough underlined warned that the government must take more initiative. than. the government has to take complete responsibility it's not only about the fight against terror there are also many ethnic conflicts among various groups of the

population as well as conflict over resource distribution and it's only the government here which knows the situation that's in a position to take mediating action and it really has to do so now to. the defense minister then visited the e.u. training mission nearby germany is taking over its rotating leadership with one hundred fifty born this vessel just the german military has trained more than twelve thousand members of mali's army over the past five years but the defense minister is shocked to learn that some mali and soldiers committed severe acts of violence against mali and civilians. via a vote of we expect the soldiers will train to be guardians of human rights to fully commit themselves to protecting the fallen i have can save this concern in no uncertain terms. eight hundred fifty german bundeswehr troops are participating in the un smith mission which is responsible for maintaining peace in the rest of

north despite patrols and extensive reconnaissance with drones the security situation has not improved the opposite is true now even areas of central mali are considered dangerous besides the security problems in many parts of the country there's a lack of political progress the two thousand and fifteen peace treaty has not been implemented yet if the money government refuses to become more active the efforts of the international community will not show any results. by michael molly. in tennis germany's alexander very of won his opening match at the season ending a.t.p. finals in london the youngest player in the a.t.p. top eight beat and in straight sets the croatians poor run of form continues at the tournament he's now lost nine out of ten matches in his last four appearances alexander spare f.p. chill it's in his debut at the a.t.p.
