gulf is welcome to the program. tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave the homes as wide 5 spread rapidly in the hillsides of los angeles. the flames have been found by dangerous, the fast winds from the storm that hit the southern california on tuesday, full cost to say the conditions good last the days $5.00 is consumed more than 5 square kilometers in the pacific palisades area in west and other $8.00 to $95.00 known for its beaches and complex multi $1000000.00 celebrity homes, firefighters are struggling to keep the bases from spreading. so it does say many buildings have already been destroyed or the wild fires are engulfing entire homes as they sweep across a cause of los angeles. firefights
9:02 am
as the struggling to contain the spread, the we are not out of danger. the national weather service has predicted that the winds are going to pick up and get worse. we're going to have the most significant wind event between 10 pm this evening, and 5 am tomorrow morning. so it's incumbent that everybody have a wildfire action plan for their home. the brush fire broke house on tuesday morning in the coastal pacific palisades neighborhoods. strong dry winds used it spread into other areas in the foothills in north east los angeles. some residents did the best to try to extinguish the flames. tens of thousands flat that hey, adams, causing traffic jams on the narrow roads. some escaped just in time.
9:03 am
i have never seen the fires with this close to the cars. people left the cars and policies drive burning up the hillside, palm trees, everything's going and the wind and the firemen are great, but property damage is property, damage losing lives, dogs, animals, horses, a lot of horses in the neighborhood. so yes, so that's, that's really the blazes raged across thousands of acres in a matter of hours of $2.00 to $5.00 fi to is being called in to help the colleagues on the ground who are now facing a special on several fronts. jason compet donia and there's a journalist with nbc and i hodge that radio in los angeles. he gave us an update
9:04 am
on the 5 as you right now. the palisades fire just north of los angeles is about $3000.00 acres. but when guys 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 there and crashes, they have some helicopters that they have and serve in the area. i mean, i'm guessing we're going to be in a 10 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, but it started. and that stretching resources buried in by just got off the phone with the 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,
9:05 am
even when they're standing next to a house that'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, just instead 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,
9:06 am
my area, which i'm about 20 miles south of the palisades fire and you, 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 residents on the evacuation orders the holiday being helped by to say there's a back to ation centers that are being open in places in safe places around the pacific palisades. but i'll tell you, the fire crews have 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 the dips, their car, they receive running down the streets, carrying
9:07 am
a suitcase of their belongings, just trying to get the safely. so what fire fire, 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, that's 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 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 i some type of don't hear that talking to us from los angeles. thank you very much. off the shocks, freezing conditions and difficult to rein complicating rescue fits into beds with quake has a killed at least 126 people. chinese officials say hundreds of people have been
9:08 am
trapped. tuesday says click on the trim is that followed, reduced thousands of homes to rubble. 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. the 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 a 9 stood, it was an earthquake about it. i took my child and went outside. i'm still in shock,
9:09 am
where i'd 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 caesar 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 exp, but say there's no way to predict when a quick might strike. but the local authorities are well prepared. this is the 6 big it's quick that's happened during division 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 bits,
9:10 am
earliest cities. let's have a look at some of the stories making headlines today. south korea's impeach president june, so if you all space is a new, it tends to arrest him. on insurrection charges, the top investigator says he will break the security barriers of the presidential compound. the presidential security service stopped authorities from taking you into custody and recent days over his brief imposition of martial lo, donald trump, to julia, the son of the us presidents. electra as arrived in greenland for a private visit. donald trump senior, has on several occasions suggested that the united states by o n a c was homeless danish territory. officials in greenland say no meetings planned with trump to me up here in germany. political part is a launching that campaigns for the election on february 23rd as not vote. cold off to the collapse of the governing coalition,
9:11 am
have shown this is not business as usual for german politics. the opposition city use frivolous mounts is maintaining a lead in the polls while incumbent johnson will have shots center left, the social democrats on trailing way 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 posse conduct 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 your these claims were puts and that's it says ready match, likes to talk rubbish well done. it's not the 1st time because i provide was i feel, for i had losing to match, would likely end off schultz. his political career, and along with it,
9:12 am
germany's resistance to supplying ukraine with what he 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 presidents had lensky. you're going, you must do everything to enable ukraine 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 germany. security. the bustle is also about many a thing economy. well, salts plans to take on new debt for investment politic mats wants to stimulate growth through tax breaks and less bureaucracy. when map sees the need for a migration you ton including turning people away at the border. so since this, his government has already implemented strict on migration laws and points to folding numbers. the 2 top contenders for chance,
9:13 am
like class and personality. and on the key issues of this, the next in next month selections will fundamentally decide which direction europe's largest economy will take. the l. m. i spoke to the w as chief political editor, missionary like to snow fonts after thoughts. she's in the town of sale and bavaria west village, mathis joining a conference of his city use. bavaria insist upon to the c s. u. she explained to me the most important issue formats going into the election kind of by 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 plan 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 a few policy who is the hosts here in bavaria wants to talk about and wants to make
9:14 am
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 off the, a for a national cross into that versus markets just before christmas. and although he is seen as someone was psychologically unstable, but it's a very heated moment here and migration. once again,
9:15 am
it seemed very much in connection with security. now as to what john sort of 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 a 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 going to macros. deputies hans, that in the previous coalition, this time his face, his name stands for this spectacular failure of a 3 way coalition. and that is a pill bottle 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 so he's a democrat policy. have the choice between him is pretty much, it was the last spot, according to popularity of politicians. and the mine who's in 1st sports, he's
9:16 am
a current defense and the symbol was the story is, what was the stories insisted he was not interested in the job job leaving, needing all that sold in poll 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 now or facing the conservative around 30 percent. then his political career is pretty less than finished here in 70. that's what he's applicants. 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. so 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,
9:17 am
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 germany faces on a much larger scale that is unfolding in neighboring ulcer behind me. right now, did you see physical letters that mission electives know that? thank you for this analysis. the us has a few sedans are as escalation of genocide saying it has systematically mode it and writes members of certain ethnic groups in the form, the binding administration as impose sanctions on our as of late on the home of homes on the dock. lo saying a best responsibility for the actions of his fights. tens of thousands have been
9:18 am
killed in saddam since the war between the countries army and the r s. f broke out almost 2 years ago. that's take a closer look at this. now with most of all the, he's a legal advisor at the wrong address to send up a human rights to join us from kampala in uganda at now, what difference does this make in the saddam that the us has declared the r s f of genocide? accused rob, it's great to be back to a house and, and i think this is a very important and significant determination only already about 24. the number of center for getting a license to reduce the report of the fund. conclude this is evidence conclusive, that middle fee, but refutable evidence that it has committed genocide and definitely then i think this will definitely make a major change in terms of remember when the commission to the victims and their
9:19 am
grievances. number 2, a calling out the perpetrators, of course, the complicit access and yeah, i'm referring to sage and private companies feeling uh the, the, the, the brothers is a dad and i think finally, what is lily biggest that you uh, i mean, uh because if this is be emulated by other countries. i think this is the call to action, but then it has to be community to protect the people to see data. but also it's uh, you know, uh is uh, when major steps to step toward the center console facility in the country. now, the fighting has been going on for close to 2 years. why did the biden administration on the act now? this is a question that we've been asking us a lot and i think uh, as i just mentioned, be a whether you made this organizational live by that and i think uh, you know,
9:20 am
it was uh, business, tremendous was long overdue. i mean, without getting too much into the political reasons or why douglas race had made the system. and as of right now, i think what it's going to provide dollars. uh now the somebody said is may we call uh, just to follow. see. and that, uh, you know, uh uh, actors involved them to get a sense must be out of town and fix is must be protected. and so then you should be supported in this dire monitoring crisis. or what does the all say well, while in the back side of the human rights from come paula, that thank you very much. thank you. the chief executive of metal, amex jacobite accessed the social networking company. well, scrap fed policy fact checking on facebook and instagram and replace it with a community based model similar to the us on x. the change box, a reversal of policies put in place by minute sets of stop misinformation. bond was
9:21 am
criticized by conservatives in the us and elsewhere overlap censorship. a change of rules with potentially far reaching consequences. manta 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 math as policy with zach her back previously supporting active content my duration. something fiercely criticized by president elect donald trump
9:22 am
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 people. 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 trucks. i'm not allowed to say that to say it was directly responsible 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 like to elect through this information and hey on, on this platform and to see they suddenly time the it say clearly to the carry
9:23 am
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. does he almost talk about said he wants to reduce the amount of censorship and prioritize free speech? does he have a point? i put that question too much. he has trips about who specializes in the regulation of digital media. i know he's doesn't, this is just a, an exercise in bowing down to, to trump. there's no censorship on platforms, but platforms do is they moderate content according to rules,
9:24 am
they set themselves. and he's now believes that it makes sense for him politically, financially to both to the pressures of the trump administration, to reduce the motivation to, 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 or 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 employee has called is the 1st step towards genocide. i wouldn't go so far, but quite obviously if you could use fact checking if you reduce the ultimate, it's a filtering of a harmful content. you will get a platform that is,
9:25 am
that makes everybody on there worse off, it will be more hate speech more. um sergeant isn't more a n t foreigner sentiment. facebook admitted products will go the way of twitter x and that will be bad for the world and bad 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 risks 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
9:26 am
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 are x, i expect that if those rules are rolled out in europe as well, then the mets i will also be the targets off. uh, it's the executive measures by the commission to make sure that so you'll see and digital rules and human rights are protected by ts catch them, and that thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. want cdw in is, is a reminder of our top story. tens of thousands of people have been told us to leave the homes as wildfire spread rapidly. the hillsides of los angeles authorities say conditions extremely dangerous. many buildings have already been destroyed,
