a noisy neighbor visit the villagers who are stuck next to a new. international airport. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us firefighters in california are battling 2 massive blazes the extreme winds have been fanning the flames and a statewide emergency has been declared official say the fire ripping through northern california's wine country has now doubled in size with nearly $200000.00 people under evacuation orders and further south another wildfire is threatening homes in the los angeles area some of the wealthiest residents including basketball star le bron james and even the terminator and self arnold schwarzenegger have been driven. from their homes. the 405 freeway in los angeles the latest fronts in the

california wildfires early monday morning a new fire broke out here sweeping through the hills. thousands of people were forced to flee as the fire scorched the wealthy west side of the city authorities urged residents to heed the warnings and get out. if you're in the mandatory evacuation zone and you're still there watching this you're an idiot get the hell out it's way too dangerous people that stay behind are just a danger in themselves and not helping the worst affected area is sonoma county in northern california 88000 homes here are in danger 4000 firefighters are battling to get the blaze under control but there is new hope after days of strong winds conditions have improved but today's focus continues to be perimeter control and structure protection especially during this 24 hour window of opportunity we

currently have with favorable weather conditions but time is of the essence forecasters are warning that this is just a brief rest bite wins us that's a pick up and fan the flames once more. we're starting to get ready for those another red flag event all right now it looks like that's going to start sometime midday tuesday and pushes into wednesday morning so we've got a quiet 24 right now and then we're going to go into another critical period tuesday night into wednesday it's now a race against time a battle against the blazes before that next critical period begins. for the very latest let's cross over to jason kemp and don't you know he's a reporter with n.b.c. news radio and he joins us from los angeles thanks for being with us jason let's start with what's happening where you are in l.a. are plier fighters there any closer to getting that blaze under control. so right

now the getting fire is only about 5 percent containment but what they're doing as we speak is hitting it with everything that they have the brief window period where the winds are pretty still at the moment i was just outside and you can still smell the smoke you can still kind of taste it there still ash falling from the sky but firefighters are definitely getting in there and they're using water dropping helicopters overnight and just hitting it with as much fluid as possible they get these flames out before the winds start to kick up later today but i gather that many homes are threatened by the l.a. fire including some belonging to celebrities what can you tell us about. these are multiplying multimillion dollar homes that are being threatened right now about $3000.00 people are under mandatory evacuation orders like you said including the bron james and arnold schwarzenegger those are just 2 of the celebrities that live in that area and that's really where kind of the elite live you know if you're in

the bron james and i know it's more snow where you've got bucks for days so you're really looking at some some mentions that are being destroyed i think about 8 ohms have already been destroyed in that area do they get a fire and firefighters are doing structure. assessments as they're able to get into some of the hot spots and yesterday they weren't able to get in and assess the damage because it was just too dangerous ok so that's the situation around l.a. what about further north in sonoma county what's the situation there. massive blaze massive fire 60 some odd 1000 acres have been completely destroyed it looks about like on 100 structures have been destroyed that includes 20 homes in the town of guyra still and then almost level that entire town very small town up there in sonoma county and this is just north of san francisco a very heavily wooded area so there's a lot of fuel and there's

a lot of brush that is just going up in flames firefighters are trying again just like they are down here in southern california they do the same thing up in northern california using this time where the winds are really low and using every resource available jason do authorities know how these powers are being started. so it looks like the power company pacific gas and electric may be responsible for the cage fire that's burning up in sonoma county down here in san california it looks like a tree branch may have been knocked off of a tree due to the eye winds and it hit a power line and that's what started getting fire now this is not been concerned but as of right now that's what they're looking at up north in p.g. and e. they've been responsible for several fires because their infrastructure is a 100 years old and it's just old it's antiquated and so when you get wind gusts of up to 809100 miles an hour in some spots it knocks these power lines off and they

hit the vegetation and that's what sparks a grass fire then you've got a live fire and so power company has been shutting power after people and that's really getting people upset so today everybody's got power but that may change by about noon or so in northern california and definitely by badly in the evening by for southern cal off jason thank you very much for bringing us up to date that was reporter jason kemp and downy out in los angeles. he said he'd rather die in a ditch than asked to delay brags that but british prime minister boris johnson has now agreed to a brace of extension until january 31st he's also been trying to persuade parliament to agree to a snap election in december johnson lost that vote on monday but undeterred he will try again today to convince opposition parties to support a general election he's hoping to capitalize on public anger over breaks it. can

you that's the latest in by the end of this week this was the day boris johnson broke his pledge to deliver brags that by the end of october my job is to get us out on october 31st and that is what we believe we are committed to all of us leaving the european union. all october 1st when the girl and clearly there's lots it turns out there were more than a few obstacles on the road to breaks it and plenty of the still a t outside and inside parliament. with a new parliament and no sooner had he agreed to a delete of bragg's than he was at the dispatch box pushing for a snap election time problem again or. for december to quote and then go to the people despite his pleas he couldn't muster anywhere near enough support because the maturity required has not been reached and have it for the

opposition an election is a gamble he would rather not take. thank you mr speaker. the reason i am so cautious is quite simply because i do not trust the prime minister he said unconvinced and undetailed johnson says he'll make a fresh attend on tuesday. with speaker of the house. any longer keep the country 400000000 prime leaves. for the future as night fell it was a future that looted likely to involve a ballot box with hints that smaller opposition parties may be ready to back johnson's call in just hours the united kingdom could well be in campaign mode no s. no buts. the other stories making headlines around the world today authorities in hong kong. barred pro-democracy activists from running in next month's local

to the president of the world jewish congress probable author he spoke to him about the summit ism in germany and why the w.j.c. has awarded uncle americal the théodore housefull prize why are you doing so what are your intentions. chancellor merkel has been wonderful to jewish people in germany and she's always been sure i'm supportive of the state of israel for that she is receiving the theory of her surprise which is the major priorities. in the jewish world in the same time that w. chasey has just presented to study a new study about the rise of anti-semitism again in germany you yourself you you were writing an op ed just recently pointing out the findings what's your explanation to them. there's 2 parts of this explanation 1st of all there's always been anti-semitism in germany but between right have to.

945 to almost 1980 s. was hit. today a recent survey we found out really people's feelings 27 percent of people said that they have strong anti-semitic feelings about the jewish people and it's a major surgery and. the question comes in what happened. why there was there but why did people feel the way they do and that's one of the things we're talking about today what's the explanation may prefer you cite you you feel as sort of angsty as well again about the study about these findings literally how is this what is this doing to you 1st of all i think the reason has to do a lot with education. we are now 3 generations away from the holocaust

and too often young people who are many many of the antics many people who are young people we never knew would happen during that time and i believe that the teaching in school. good is not strong enough to allow children to really understand the house of what went on very briefly well to fail us on the government sites on the political in the political field and the elites in this country you know opinion well 1st of all in the political field i believe that anyone any party who is who shows anti-semitic feelings should not be in that party and i believe also there are some party small parties that are basically based on almost a neo nazi theory they should be not allowed and marches like we had in families and document although they did not wear the signs of nazi germany there was no

doubt with it where they were or in stadiums sports stadiums when a whole group of people stand up and give the hitler salute what does that say that's something the government has to handle thank you very much and dates miss a lot of this interview for. thank you thanks for thanks for coming. and that was ronald lauder the president of the world jewish congress speaking to our reporter or earlier now you're watching g.w. news coming up pakistan's baby boom for many talking about birth control is to boot as a consequence of overwhelming many families. and the equestrian event that runs on the most sustainable source of energy possible horse manure we'll explain how power keeps the lights on in helsinki. the 1st and last go where the city's busiest airport has become even busier in september

a 3rd runway opened. airport but it's right next to 2 villages and is proving to be a noisy neighbor the villages were supposed to have been resettled in by the end of last year but there's no sign of that happening so far. the planes are too close for comfort and the garden backs directly onto me to his newest runway. authorities promise to resettle everyone in one day's village before opening the airstrip but on days still doesn't know when exactly his family will have to leave and how much money the government will offer to buy him out of his house. we have no way out of the situation. we have been living here for generations with the family really of a whole year this is no holiday home good on them when you people here in the village have animals what are they supposed to do we can't be sure the government

is protecting our interest if they don't talk to us this is an information vacuum we don't know what's going to happen next. the other villagers of dabrowski also want certainty around 50 households are currently in limbo a group of locals has been meeting with officials to push for information about their homes they tell us they're sad to lose this tight knit community but they know they can't live here long term. as we understand the government needs this they need to expand the airport this is he is expanding and people are traveling here but people need to be treated humanely potatoes in a field that can just be replanted. but the uncertainty isn't the only worry for the village of the russian consumer watchdog has warned that the pollution and noise here are a huge health risk. is already one of russia's biggest airports and now with this 3rd runway around $25.00 extra planes can land and take off here every hour

construction of the runway began back in 2012 and was supposed to be finished in time for the world cup last year the deadline for the resettlement of nearby villages has been pushed back several times the author already has refused our interview request but pointed out they plan to resettle the towns and compensate under a and his neighbors by the end of the year. it's hard to be here the noise and the smell from the planes landing and taking off don't allow you to live a full life. whole day and come home. fortress the place you can relax and gather strength. relax here. from now on that he's hoping the government will finally keep its promises and if not he says he's prepared to take the battle for his home to court. now its leaders more stories making news around the world today french police have

boom there are more than 200000000 people in pakistan no individual families often feel they can barely manage with so many mouths to feed. the reports. standing up to make a difference child as soon roy is a community health worker in the town of picher in sindh province in a conservative muslim society she reaches out to women pakistan's public health system fails to reach today she's speaking about family planning and reproductive health but it's not an easy sell. yet the american people are more aware of family planning these days but they're often reluctant because they're myths and misconceptions about using contraceptives some women are afraid that it will make them infertile forever others think it's against their religion the child is not a trained nurse or a doctor but she lives and works in the community so when she refers them to the

local government run hospital they trust her enough to go and get professional help . rima is a mother of 2 this is her 1st ever visit seeking advice on birth control the doctor takes a medical history and advises her on her options an injection for a 3 month gap bills for a daily use meal contraception as well as implant method for 5 to 10 year contraception but unlike her most women in pakistan are not allowed to make these choices order says that more than the women it's her in-laws and the husband who call the shots as doctors we have to talk to the families because without their consent women usually can say no to having babies. no wonder then pakistanis produce more babies than any other country in south asia except of ghana stan millions of these children will never go to school they will be malnourished because their parents can't afford

a decent meal for their large families boys may have a better chance of survival but girls will most likely face a bleak future. the question is where good displeased pakistan a nuclear armed country lagging way behind its neighbors in human development. to find out i have come to meet the men of disapproval community at this village meeting people who see benefit in family planning but they see fear of a backlash from islamic clerics is the major obstacles. they say i learned has promised that he will provide food for the rich i love when they see their family planning is a sin and who are you to interfere in god's. but then we try to explain to them that it is not against that illusion of why you would other muslim countries promote birth control but they we're quad the mission me there's no called a nation of committed at the top in my time as a doctor i have never seen a family planning official visit to a lesser investment community is to go in for fame like i would and i guess

community. it's true that decades of militarism and corruption has taken a big toll on pakistan's social development but it now seems the biggest long term threat to the country may not be external but could come from its unchecked population growth. now to the horse show that takes horse power to a whole new level and eventually helsinki has shown its environmental credentials by generating all its energy from horse manure world equestrianism as governing body says it proves that alternative energy solutions can come from the most unlikely places. at this equestrian show in finland the horses do more than jump over obstacles they're responsible for powering the entire event from the scoreboard to the lights inside the arena. and it comes not from the horse's mouth

. but rather it's behind all of them in your produce during the show is corrected up and turned into electricity all the people we get here in atlanta doing that week they would use to get all the energy and electronic music like power they would get the power from my social events but was also pretty much stumbled his ink area finland with its $75000.00 horses is a 1st tile ground for the project the idea to get more from your manure started 5 years ago the waste is transported by a local energy company mixed with wood and then burns to create energy cost man isn't it but for the furor is comparable to say goodbye having roughly 1.5 with a lot of. talk with me as a. whole to a course is needed to produce a more definitive that one single father probably feel requires for food. there are
