smell of smoke while making his way into town or what was left of it the city of paradise once home to twenty seven thousand people was incinerated by the blaze last week trump whose initial response was criticized for its unfeeling tone pledged to help with the recovery and see what's happened here. nobody would have ever thought this could happen. so the federal government has realized you are all the idea joe there is a rare show of unity between president and the democratic governor of california jerry brown had previously blamed the fires on poor forest management in california but fire experts and the governor argued the effects of climate change have driven the more intense blazes a theory the president didn't want to hear that if they should change your opinion
12:03 pm

12:05 pm
was there and experienced it there's still a frustration about the root cause of these fires a number of people now missing has risen to nearly thirteen hundred is there any hope that some of the missed alliance. there is hope that that number will eventually come down as staggering as it is the butte county sheriff has said from the beginning that the numbers very much a moving target some of these maybe duplicate it's some of them could be from all mind when one call some of these people could be reunited already know the imminent fire danger it's getting closer to over crews will be able to get into these burned out areas really get a sense of what this true number is and hopefully in the next days and weeks will really get an accurate reflection of what the true number is going to look like and experts warn fives like this could become the new normal how california is planning to adapt to this. that is the big question in california right now some
