a statement that's disputed by many experts but did promise plenty of federal funding for california as the state now battles other problems related to the blaze . with the fire comes a new danger smoke and it has reached san francisco where air pollution levels now rank among the highest in the world health warnings prompted widespread school closings even the city's main tourist attractions was shut. the small argenta some three hundred kilometers to the north the town of paradise has been reduced to ashes it's the epicenter of california's deadliest ever wildfire and the death toll is likely to rise. search and rescue workers are trying to find any sort of remains that could help identify those missing. where you've you feel terrible for these people it's been

devastating for them like couldn't imagine coming back here this is my home. your whole proof that we if there are missing people we can find them and bring some closure to people that need that. those affected are in desperate need of assistance some hope they announce a visit by u.s. president donald trump will increase attention to their plight. we're going to president bring the conversation we're going to take a look at the. partridge and more airplanes are still going no time to relax if you want to understand what we're going through out here you got to be here and it's not something you can just see on t.v. you know others us get to kill off the president's intentions. i think is just showboating will come in and try to take credit freeze and salted to firefighters. police the military handicap women. the campfire is only one of several

blazes still ravaging the state scientists believe the growing frequency and intensity of such wildfires is due to a prolonged drought which is symptomatic of climate change. i spoke earlier to journalist mike de wilde who's been covering president trump's trip to california and i asked him what the people who've been affected by the wildfires want to hear from trump. i think residents of this area really want to hear it at the from president trump and just that their story is being heard the people in this area have gone through so much over the past weeks and. as you heard from some of the people care it doesn't do justice to see the clips on t.v. or to see photos to actually be on the ground and experience just what this devastation looks like i think more than anything else that politics aside people want to know that their experience is being seen across the nation and that

that help is on the way. while you are in the region that's worst hit by the fires how are people coping with such devastation. it's really difficult and it's especially now that most of the immediate fire danger is over it really begins the long process of what what's next for residents here some people returning to homes some people are returning to see their home burned down. the entire town burnt down so it becomes what happens next. going to theme of finding the resources just trying to get back to normal as fast as possible and the others that's going to be harder to start that process at the moment we know that it about seventy people died in the fires and yet the number of those unaccounted for has jumped to more than

a thousand why's that. it really is a staggering number but the good buchanan sheriff's office cautioned to not get married too much to that number that is very much a group a target based on a lot of data there could be duplicate. there could be names on there for one one calls it could be people who got. that said it's still a very concerning number given the population that we're dealing with in paradise over a quarter of the copulations over sixty five a lot of the seven that you've seen so far their seventy's eighty's and ninety's these are people who could live alone as living there wouldn't be disabled and i think that the kids are going forward there we're going to see that that seventy one rise higher going forward my dog at the air force base near sacramento california thanks so much for your reporting. for what

the u.s. state department says the government has yet to reach a final conclusion about who ordered the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi this after multiple u.s. media outlets reported that the cia believes that saudi crown prince mohamed bin fallen personally gave the order state department says it will continue to seek all the relevant facts as to what happened take a show while maintaining what it called the important strategic relationship with saudi arabia. for more i'm joined now by d.w. correspondent michael can a guy who's in washington so michael we seem to have two very different statements coming from the u.s. why is there no consensus between with the cia is saying and what we're hearing from the state department. well what is interesting about the state department statement is actually that no one has actually said that the u.s.

government has reached a conclusion on the show be killing what the u.s. media has reported is that the cia concluded that the saudi crown prince was behind the killing but it's the u.s. media didn't say that the u.s. government had reached a consensus on the origins of this of this killing but what is clear now is that there is a rift between the white house and the state department on one side and members of congress and the cia on the other side while the trumpet appears to be trying not to blame the crown prince for the killing most experts inside and outside the government think that the crown prince is behind the killing of course shogi. well michael why is president so reluctant to put blame on the crown prince well there are several reasons for this one is that trump view was the saudis is a key ally in the fight against iran and iran's influence in in the region and so

if you would come down hard on on the saudis that would help boost iran according to his thinking the second reason is business the saudis are a key business partner off the u.s. especially for the u.s. defense industry and trump has made it clear repeatedly that he doesn't want to hurt those u.s. saudi business ties and thirdly. senior adviser and son in law a juror of course there has apparently close personal ties to the crown prince and that could also explain why trump is hesitant to come down hard on the crown prince and the saudis and yet the vice president mike pence has said to the u.s. what hold anyone involved with kushal she's murdered to account so what could this mean. well that is difficult to say because it's really just make clear that if that he's reluctant to really come down hard on the crown prince and the saudis having said that the pressure on trump role will probably increase

members of congress have said repeatedly that they want tough sanctions on the saudis if it turns out that the crown prince was behind this killing and those sanctions could include an ending of arms sales to the saudis or it could also mean that the u.s. would really look have a hard look at the whole relationship between the hold close personal relationships between the u.s. and the saudis michael caniggia in washington many thanks to france now where president of model mark wrong is facing a backlash against his economic policies nearly three hundred thousand people took to the streets nationwide today wearing the yellow vests that have come to symbolize public discontent over government tax hikes on fuel police even clashed with protesters right outside the presidential palace approval ratings for president micron have slumped reflecting mounting dissatisfaction with his

government's economic program. a sit down strike in traffic it doesn't take much to shut things down one side is content the other isn't more than two hundred eighty thousand people took part in the grassroots movement called yellow vests across the country they also blocked toll booths or drove at a snail's pace on highways they're protesting about the increased taxes placed on fuel and basically about the reduction in their buying power while called it's getting more and more expensive to fill up will soon be a two year as a leader that's horrible. mr mccollum treats us like cattle he's always pushing more texas on us soon we won't have anything and this is the woman who started things off with a video which really touched a lot of people six million of them and. i represent those who meet their car every day and practically live in it as well as those farmers if you send a seventy seven. this grassroots movement began on social media which gave people

a forum to express their displeasure with things despite that president mccall wants to continue on his economic course on a french aircraft carrier he showed understanding for citizens and also conceded making mistakes and i didn't succeed in convincing the french about my policy. today's protests certainly prove that yellow is the color of the day and might even be the one for to morrow the yellow vests say they will carry on. and notice some of the other stories making news around the world in greek police and protesters clashed in central athens with protesters hurling petrol bombs and police firing tear gas the clashes followed a peaceful march marking the anniversary of a nine hundred seventy three student uprising that helped topple military rule about ten thousand people took part in the march. rallies have been held across the netherlands to protest against a controversial christmas character called black pete dutch tradition dictates that

and we were sitting at the dining table with my mum when the message from the submarine commander for survived saying that an object that was detected yesterday was that our son one we couldn't believe it we turned on the television and media said it was our son one. that. get out of. the submarine was returning from a routine mission off argentina's southernmost back in november last year it was ordered back to base after reporting an electrical break dying but the crew was never heard from again authorities gave up hope of finding survivors just two weeks later but their relatives doesn't. i'm disappointed disappointed because we still thought they had all the information we get the illusion they would find them a life behind unfortunately with thats it. on thursday argentina marked one year

since the san juan went missing it was then that the country's president reaffirmed his commitment to finding out what happened the next day the submarine was faint but the families are still looking for reasons as to why it failed them so catastrophic lee. and that's the news this hour on day w. thanks for watching. european perspective from become fricken perspective from the perspective of turkey from the arab or. a w. dot com slash w w one. wished.
