strongly, alas, services be our guest at frankfurt and bought cd managed by from bought the business, the w news lot from bell in residence. i told to flee a rapidly growing was 5 in los angeles. authorities will on conditions are extremely dangerous. as strong winds, assigning the flanks also coming off, social networking company metal is ending. it's the positive fact checking program on facebook and instagram instead of plans to rely on its use. it's to flag fake news. the

i'm gonna head off as welcome to the program. tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave the homes as a was fast spreads rapidly in the hillsides of los angeles. the flames have been found by a storm that hits southern california on tuesday, and full cost to say the conditions. the last to days, fire has consumed more than 5 square kilometers in the pacific palisades area and west in los angeles and $55.00, just struggling to keep it from spreading or to say many buildings have already been destroyed. jason cardona is a journalist with nbc and i hauled radio in los angeles and joins us now from the adjacent give us an update on the situation. are you right now? the palisades fire just north of los angeles is about 3000 acres. but when gus are about to about a 100 miles an hour, are caring embers further out. so tomorrow morning when were able to get

a better look at the fire. uh, through some of the fixed we firefighting, the air and classes, they have some helicopters that they have and serve in the area. i mean, i'm guessing we're going to be in the tend to maybe $15000.00 acre range. it's really bad and overnight embers are flying all over the place. dozens of structures has been laws, multimillion dollar homes have been burned to the ground. and now in southern california, there's actually 2 more fires that started. and this stretching resources buried in fi just got off the phone with la county firefighters. and they told me it's a war zone out there. they're doing the best they can. but the winds are so strong, even when they're standing next to a house, it's burning and they're trying to spray it with water at full force, the winds are just pushing the water around, so they have to get so close to the fire, which is making a fire fighting,

extremely dangerous. jason, can you put it into prospectors perspective, the severity of these fires? is this unusual even for california? as it is, we haven't seen wind gusts of a 100 miles an hour in decades. you tie that with the fact that there hasn't been any significant rain here in southern california in very many years. so now you've got extremely dry and conditions. very hot winds coming in from the, the top of the hills and making their way down into the basin. and this is what's creating a fire storm, a wind storm, if you will. and i mean right now, even in my, my area, which i'm about 20 miles south of the palisades fire, and you can hear it outside and it sounds like it's raining, but it's just the way that's blind at such high speed. it's,

it's really an odd time here in southern california. now it runs $30000.00 residents on the evacuation orders. the holiday being helped to say there's a back you ation centers that are being open uh, in places in safe places around the pacific palisades. but i'll tell you the fire crews i've had to say, you gotta listen to us. when we tell you it's time to go, it's time to go. and we're starting to hear stories of people who stayed in their home too late. and may have gotten hurt. there's other people that have had to, they were driving down the very narrow roads outside of the pacific palisades and had to ditch their car. they receive running down the streets, carrying a suitcase of their belongings, just trying to get the safety. so what fire fire and what firefighters are doing now is they're using bulldozers to clear the road so people can get out and get to say briefly what the us with what

a full cost say for the next 2 days. well, that's the tough part. it looks like it's going to be a red flag warning, so wind gusts of over 50 miles an hour for at least the next 3 days and possibly overnight wind gusts of, of around 80 to a 100 miles an hour. it's not good. and again, no rain in the foreseeable future. the gentlest items have to do any of that talking to us from los angeles. thank you very much. thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories i'm making headlines to the remains of former us president jimmy content has been brought to the us capital, where he will line states for 3 days. content was president from 1977 to 1981 and later won the nobel peace prize voice who went to terry and what he died on december 29. at the age of 100. south korea's president's units of the old faces

a new attempts to arrest him on insurrection challenges based on his brief and position of martial load. a top investigate just as he will break the security barriers at the presidential compact. the presidential security service stopped authorities from taking human into custody and recent days and that's quite has killed at least $126.00 people into that. many of us were trapped us. thousands of houses collapse and thousands of off the shocks hit the remote regions. travelers were felt as far away as india. this is the moment the quake struck just 75 kilometers from mount everest. the world's highest mountain straddles the border between china. nicole, the quite kid close to the city of sic got say in the chinese autonomous region of tibet. rescue is what quickly on the scene as china as president g,

mobilize them all out. effort trim is also rattled the net police capital cut man to 400 kilometers from the epi sent to the and cause i was sleeping. when it happened, the back was shaking. you know, i felt my child was moving the bed, but then the windows started moving, and 9 stood. it was an earthquake, nevada. i took my child and went outside. i'm still in shock, but i'd be more comfortable you that to freezing temperatures, added to the misery for the injured in those left homeless as thousands of troops and firefighters was sent in to help to use a teaser, we will strength and seismic monitoring and early warning we will spend no effort to search for anyone trapped, provide medical care for the injured, for, for a sense, relief, and provide for the basic needs of residents to keep it simple. so how strong the area are is vulnerable to size, make activity x. but say there's no way to predict when a quake might strike,

but the local authorities are well prepared. this is the 6th big. it's quick that's happened during the region over the last 100 years. this disaster is not on the same scale as the quake which killed nearly 9000 people in the pool in 2015, but it has coolest expensive damage and one of 2 pets, or least cities. that's bringing bod rachada is a journalist in cotton on do where the best way was also felt f. what's the latest from the disaster region? how's the search for missing people coming along? the way to search engine escape boats are under way. so just curious way more relies to nothing to do. yeah. so if you up to the disaster, there were a week or 2 more to the, to the i think 0. but i have heard is that the more than 20000 people on the look

at, it means they are. if you look at a problem effect in areas and internet because us use you me in the foot, i'll talk to the pony is being offered through the victims. and lots of circuit by the optics are being tier. and what do we use to understand is that the so it is not easy to get in the information in china, this is the information. what i have no so far that now the quake hits in a very remote region is that complicates and rescue and relief efforts. yeah, it seems so because the uh, pickup in the area. uh they have the more and mostly the mountainous reasons, which means it's always difficult, has 30 south to the good comedies. now is also the middle of winter right now that how are the cold temperatures affecting people?

yeah, but i have how does that know? picking the aids to pull and it's almost freezing for the deer. so that is your side also disrupting? do i'm scared to die. your uh, let's do it for us. it's gone. so they've been you suddenly to the supervisor. just do it for now. what's the, what about the damage in all the regions? for example, in the poll where you it's gonna be able to assign the damage in the above site list. and there is no human cause of the at all. we sort understand that the most uh, the 50 in your body's also with a mountainous area. and it's simply for so many people where it's a name i did it through with the hood, part of the bungee to avoid the steam floor. so that's why if these alternatives

have not reported the any many cows or diesel are, but there are 2 houses where a demo is up to people who are in your, in your and or to people that minutes of bodies for your students that attended wind last week so their ground, the scores that way a few people the way you are, but there is no money. but they go in there by the side of this bond or some of that repulsion from cut monday. thank you very much. thank you. i as the us as accused so don's are assess miller, some of genocide saying it as systematically mode it and right members of certain ethnic groups in the for the by not ministration has impose sanctions on the r as f leader. well, i'm a homes on dog though, saying he best responsibility for the actions off his fights with tens of thousands have been killed and sit down between the since the war between the countries army

and the are as if broke out almost 2 years ago. what i do, the chief executive of med box is occupied, accessed the social network, and company will scrap search policy fact checking on facebook and instagram. and we'll replace it with a community based model. similar to that to on x. the change box, a reversal of policies put in place by mentor to stop misinformation, but was criticized by conservatives in the us over alleged censorship. a change of rules with potentially far reaching consequences. matter says paid fact checkers will no longer be used on facebook and instagram, leaving users to comment on the accuracy of post themselves. you weren't meant to see you. oh my god, come back. announced a decision in a video message. we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content,

but the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes even say, accidentally censor, just one percent of post. that's millions of people. and we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes in too much censorship. this step is a reversal of matches policy with zach a bag previously supporting active content moderation. something fiercely criticized by president elect donald trump and his allies, cooks use the company of blocking their voices and threatening consequences. speaking at a news conference, trump who was banned from facebook for 2 years in 2021 has welcome to move. very simple, honestly. i think they've come a long way. met a facebook. i think they've come a long way. i watched it. the man was very impressed if i watch it, actually, i watch it on fox. i'm not allowed to say that. say it directly respond the same

past due probably human rights activists reacted with shock to the announcement that we've been investigating matter for 4 years now. and we've seen them really progress in terms of their ability to detect this information. we would like to just information and hey on, on this platform and fee of a sudden you time the it say clearly to the carry phase with tom and his administration is really disappointing thing. and as i used to have really negative claiborne, implication rights groups say a better solution would be to invest more heavily to improve the work of fact checkers instead of getting rid of them. so now the new rules will be taken effect only in the us. it's not clear if they will come into force in the you and the rest of the world. as you're watching the news you as a reminder of our top story,

tens of thousands of people out in order to leave the homes as a log file spreads rapidly in the hillsides of los angeles. authorities say many buildings have already been destroyed and the conditions i stream the day. that's it for me. thanks. disruption is the goal. chaos is the goal. it's a wrecking crew. radically. they want to bring the system rights come. so the donald trump will be the next president of the united states. the weather nice in some ways. the dish is the american society division works for him. he wants to increase power station for trumps.
