and then when you race in the class, now i'm new to industry. this kind of product feels like the business dw news live from balance. tens of thousands of los angeles residents are told to flee a rapidly growing wildfire. part of the chain spring wins fanning the flames as residents rise to escape threatens neighborhood. also coming off rescue a struggle to reach the volume is of a powerful us quite can ruled 2 bags, schools of people that kill, but travis, that could be felt hundreds of kilometers away. and social networking company mess up is ending hits the policy fact checking program on facebook and instagram instead of plans to rely on its use. it's to flag fates, news,

and who will lead germany is next. governments, the social democrats shots, the show fights for his political survival against conservative challenge. i've agreed to this man, the outcome promises to have consequences far beyond fairly the i'm good. how those as well come 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 hit southern california on tuesday and full cost to say the conditions could last for days. 5 consumer molded 5 square kilometers in the pacific palisades area and west, and that a $55.00 is a struggling to keep it from spreading. authorities say many buildings have already

been destroyed to you right now. the palisades fire just north of los angeles is about $3000.00 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 aircraft as they have some helicopters that they have and serve in the area. i mean, i'm guessing we're going to be in the 10 to maybe $15000.00 acre range. it's really bad and overnight the 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 had started. and that stretching resources buried in by 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 firefighting, 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 around $30000.00 residents on the evacuation orders. the holiday being helped to say there's evacuation centers that are being open uh, in places in safe places around the pacific palisades. but i'll tell you a fire cruise, i've had to say, you've got to 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. there was the running down the streets, carrying a suitcase of their belongings. just trying to get to 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 cost of what a full cost. so 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 over night, wind goes up over an 80 to a 100 miles an hour. it's not good. and again, no rain in the foreseeable future, the gentlest i some type of don't hear that talking to us from los angeles. thank you very much. i know it's quite, it has killed at least 126 people into bed. many others will attract us thousands of houses collapse and thousands of off the sharks hit the remote region. tremors will have felt as far away as india. this is the moment the quake struck

just 75 kilometers from mount everest. the world's highest mountain struggles the border between china and the pool. the quite kid close to the city of chicago. se in the chinese autonomous region of tibet, to 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, do 400 kilometers from the epi center and cause i was sleeping when it happened was that the bed was shaking. you know, i felt my child was moving the bed, but then the windows tottered, moving, and 9 stood. it was an earthquake about it. i took my child and went outside. i'm still in shock. i would be more comfortable you. the 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 essential 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 exp, but say there's no way to predict when a quick might strike. but the local authorities are well prepared. this is the 6th big. it's quick that's happened in the region over the last 100 years. this disaster is not on the same scale as the of quake which killed nearly 9000 people in the pool in 2015. but it has caused expensive damage and one of 2 pets or least cities. bod rashonna is

a generalist in the come under i. he has more on the ongoing search and rescue f, as for us, as well as sorts. and just the boats out on their way. so just curious, the way more relies do nothing to do. yeah. searcy up to the disaster. they were a week or 2 more to the to the area. but i have heard is that the more than $20000.00 people of the low to means they are you located a problem affected areas and internet has us resume in the foot affected 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 to being made in china. this is the information i have no so far now the quake hit in a very remote region is that complicates and rescue. and relief efforts. yeah,

it seems so because the, uh took off it to the uh, uh, the, the more and most the, the mound in us reasons. this means it's always difficult, has 30 south to the dominant. these 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 pick any area is to pull and it's almost freezing for the deer. so that is your side of so just something to 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 or uh, just the design of the damage in the above side is uh list any, uh no,

there is no human cows or the at all. uh, we sort of understand that the most uh, the, the, uh 50 in your bodies 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 on last week, so their ground, the scores that way a few people the way you are, but there is no money, but didn't go in there by the side of this bond or some of that resulting from cut monday. thank you very much. let's have a look at some of those stories making headlines today. the biden administration

has imposed sanctions on members of saddam's rapids support forces, including on his leader and well, how much i'm done. dog lo, who's known as how may t washington says the r s f has committed genocide? tens of thousands have been killed in saddam since the world between the countries ami um the r as f broke out almost 2 years ago. donald trump, junior, the son of the us president elect has arrived in greenland for private visits. donald trump, senior, has on several occasions suggested that the united states by o n a see a ton of his danish territory. officials in green and say no meetings planned with the trump junior. so here in germany, political pods is a long thing that contains for the election on february 20 says the snap vote cooled off to the collapse of the governing coalition. have shown this is not business as usual for jem and politics. the opposition cd use 5th of us masses

maintaining of the solid lead in the polls, while incumbent shots, the order shows sense, has left social democrats are trailing behind. both men want to be in charge of the next government. they're making. the difference is quite clear. as one of these 2 men set to become germany's next tom slept. all i've sold is trying to defend his job against police mats, the man whose party currently leads in the polls. the only thing they have in common. they cannot stand each other. as you are embarrassing gemini, the way you acted, you're these queens with puts and that's it says ready match, likes to talk rubbish well done. it's not the 1st time because i provide was visual for her. losing to match would likely end on us tulsa's political career. and along with it, germany's resistance to supplying ukraine with what it wants most from brandon

towers, cruise missiles, just one week after salts headed to keys for those mats, made the same trip and the sold ukraine's president said lensky, you're going, you, we must do everything to enable you crying to make use of it right to defend itself without any limitations. the stones, full a sold condemns as an unnecessary provocation of lesser need, always play russian roulette with gemini secuity. the bustle is also about germany's a thing economy. well, salts plans to take on new debt for investment politic mats wants to stimulate growth through tax breaks, less bureaucracy when math sees the need for migration you ton including turning people away at the boulder sold since this, his government has already implemented stricter migration rules. and points to folding numbers, the to top contenders for chance, like class and personality. and on e, key issues of this. the next in next month selections will fundamentally decide

which direction europe slots just economy will take. and so low on that last talk to d. w as chief political. how does that mean here? like isn't she is in the picture this town of zailynn and bavaria? well positioned either for those math is joining a conference of a cd. use bavarian system potty the c assume is here. what are the most important issues that for, for this mass going into the election campaign as well, the most important issue for him at this moment, his time is not making any mistakes. he has made gas in the past, and he wants to see the economy. his business plan for germany has simulation, klein and a tax breaks as something that is why the debate is at the same time. migration is an issue, particularly the bavarian says the see if you policy who is the host here in bavaria wants to talk about and wants to make clear that

a conservative lead policies turn around. and that's what they're actually having a countdown clock here for as well. counting down those days to the election saying that will be a turnaround in policy across the board. but that must include a tougher line on migration, a phrase we've had many times before. and in the specific areas that would also mean potentially stripping dual citizens to also have german but also another citizenship of the german citizenship if they are criminal offenders. here in germany, that's a very, very small group. but we have seen migration being debated again. so again, in the context of national security of the a for a national cross into that for so small office just before christmas. and although he is seen as someone was so i can look to see and say was, but it's a very heated moment here. and migration, once again,

it seemed very much in connection with security. now it's still the chance to order the shows for a moment, according to the polls, the social democrats are not performing well. the way behind how does scholes intend to change that or by insisting that he will turn around the poles as he and that is true did last time in those last elections. but it's a huge difference that he doesn't want to talk about. is that back then? he was the face of change despite the fact that he was i'm going to michael's deputies hans the in the previous coalition. this time his face, his name stands for this spectacular failure of a 3 way coalition. and that is uphill baffles that he is very much feeling right now and it just 6 weeks ahead of the elections. he's insisting he can turn this around. his social democrat policy had the choice between him is pretty much, it was the law spots, according to popularity of politicians. and the mine who's in 1st sports,

who's the current defense and the symbol was to store use. what was the stores insisted he was not interested in the 2 jobs leaving, needing or sol impulse position. and if he doesn't perform what is close to a political miracle here, getting his policy from below double digits around 16 percent a now are facing the conservative around 30 percent. then his political career pretty less than finished here in 70. that's what he's up again. now both parties, they sent a ride, christian democrats and the social democrats are closely watching the events unfolding in australia right now. we're far right potty is now leading. the coalition told that this happened in germany. this old answer is no. because no matter how strong the fall ride a if the policy becomes in the upcoming elections, the other policies refuse to work with them. and this is something it described as a file. will it also, previous to see them existed in austria. it couldn't happen right now. but many

politicians are pointing to the next elections of to these 2029. what if the, if the continues will talk to become stronger and it's would become increasingly difficult not to corporate or top with that. so, and this is the very same town, is that many faces on a much larger scale that is unfolding in neighboring ulcer behind me. right now. did you see fit to collect as i'm sure you'd like to know that? thank you for this analysis. the chief executive of meta monk, a bug, says the social networking company will scraps the policy fact checking on facebook and instagram and replace it with a community based model that similar to that on x. the change box, the reversal of policies put in place by methods and stop misinformation, but criticized by conservatives in the us over electric censorship. a

change of rules with potentially far reaching consequences. mathis is 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 the 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 as they 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 wins that could bag previously supporting active content, moderation. something fiercely criticized by president elect donald trump and his allies. cooks used 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. meta, facebook. i think they've come a long way. i watched it, the man was very impressive. i watch it. actually, i watch it on fox. i'm not allowed to say that. say it directly respond to 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 therapy, etc. to detect this information, we like to elect through just information and hey on, on this platform and to see they suddenly time the it so clearly to the carry phase with tom and his administration is really disappointing thing. and as i have

already negative claypole application 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 to us band much he has costume of. he's a senior research at the hosp, the institute for media studies and specializes in regulation of digital media. it's also advising the german government. let me ask you for a 2nd back set in his statement that he wants to reduce the amount of censorship and to prioritize free speech doesn't have a point. $90000.00 is just a, an exercise in bowing down to, to trump. there is no censorship on platforms, but platforms do is they moderate content according to rules,

they set themselves. and he's now believes that it makes sense for him politically, financially to vote to the pressures of the trump administration to reduce the motivation that to fire the people who are responsible for making sure the platform works more human rights consistency and to reduce the ultimate it's a recognition of a harmful content, it's a bad move. so what does that do to a platform like facebook, instagram? well, we know exactly what such a move does because we've seen it with twitter x. there will be more hate speech when a former employer and peggy has called is the 1st step towards genocide. i wouldn't go so far, but quite obviously if you produce fact checking, if you produce ultimate, it's a filtering of a harmful content. you will get a platform that is, that makes everybody on there worse off,

it will be more hate speech more. um sergeant isn't more a n t, foreigners sentiment. facebook admitted products will go the way of twitter x and that would be bad for the world and that financially for him as well. now, the rules as of today just apply in the us will be repeating regulation, require a different approach formats in the you. for another year, peter rules such as the digital services act did not apply to the platform to use fact checking services. but they do oblige platforms to do is to ensure that they delete illegal content and that they assess the risk that lie within their platforms. for democratic decision making processes for public health. and we know that throwing out the fact checkers and reducing automates is filtering of illegal

content leads to more risk for a democratic decision making processes leads to more violations of rights. so in my reading of the approach taken, veneta runs completely a file of the repeating rules. and we know that from the proceedings that the commission has started against, which for x, i expect that if those rules are rolled out in europe as well, then method will also be the targets of uh, it's the executive measures by the commission to make sure that you are seen digital rules and human rights are protected by ts ketchum and that thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. one of the most important entertainment and consumer technology conventions has started in las vegas in the united states and r a i is the big stop of this use c s and it's not tech geeks paying attention. the annual show provides the rest of us
