the for the rest of the world. usa, the also rise starts january 18th on dw, the . this is the, the news line from ballot. tens of thousands of los angeles residents are sold to fleet rapidly growing was fired. power can strength wins, fanning the flames as residents race to escape threatens naples. also coming off, social networking company met, sense is pending. it's fed policies, tracking and checking programs on facebook and instagram. instead it's plans to rely on its uses to flag misinformation the

. i'm going to have those as well come to the program. tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave the homes as well as 5 spread rapidly and the hillsides of los angeles. the flames have been found by dangerously false winds from the store that it's southern california on tuesday, full cost to say the conditions could last for days, fine as consume more than 5 square kilometers in the pacific palisades area in west analite. that's an unconnect known for its beaches. accomplice multi $1000000.00 celebrity homes. 55 is struggling to keep the places from spreading. authorities say, many buildings have already been destroyed. of the wild fires there, engulfing entire homes as they sweep across a cause of los angeles. firefights 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 and the coastal pacific palisades neighborhoods. strong dry winds used it spread into other areas in the foothills in northeast 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 escapes just in time.

i've never seen the fires with this close to the cars. people left their 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 2255 to is being called in to help the colleagues on the ground too. and now facing a battle on several fronts. jason confidently. um, as a journalist with nbc and i hauled radio and los angeles, he gave us an update on the 5 to 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, our 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 a 10 to maybe $15000.00 acre range. it's really bad and overnight of amber's 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 this 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 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. 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,

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. so there's a back, you ation centers that are being open in places in the safe places around the pacific palisades. but i'll tell you the fire crews 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 the dips, their car, they received 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 the safe 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 overnight wind gusts of over at 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. let's have a look 9. some of the other stories making headlines today. south korea's in peach present in june. so if your face has a new attempt of arrest on insurrection challenges, a top investigate just says he will break the security barriers at the presidential compact. the presidential security service stopped authorities from taking him into custody and recent days over his brief and position of martial,

lo or the bottom administration has imposed sanctions on members of so don's rapids support forces including law as leader, mohammed's home, the dog loaves known as i made t, washington says b r s s. has committed genocide, tens of thousands have been killed in saddam since the war between the countries army and the r as f broke out. almost 2 years ago this 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 bio edit slee autonomous danish territory. officials and breelyn say no meetings planned with the trump julia the remains of the form you as president jimmy carter have been brought to the us capital, where he will line states for 3 days con to was president from 1977 to 1981. and

later won the nobel peace prize for his 2 men entirely in work. he died on december 29th, at the age of a 100. the chief executive of a meta mugs dr. box says the social networking company will scraps the ponti fact checking on facebook and instagram and replace it with a community based model simulate. so that's on x. the change box, a reversal of policies put in place by mentor to stop misinformation. but most criticize by conservatives in the west end, else wept over alleged 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. it does matter, so your mike zack, come back announced the decision individual 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 math as 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 to probably human rights activates, 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 live, i like to 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 used to have really negative legal implications, 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 not go by says he wants to reduce the amount of censorship and prioritize free speech. does he have a point? i put that question to my ts cuzamano. specialize in the regulation of digital media, $90000.00, and this is just uh, an exercise in boeing 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, but actually 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 madman. 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 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 home for content. you will get a platform that is, that makes everybody on there worse off, it will be more hate speech more. and sergeant isn't more of a foreigner, sentiment, facebook to admit that products will go the way of twitter, x and that will 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 u 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 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 met that will also be the targets of uh, exit executive measures by the commission to make sure that so you'll see in

digital rules and human rights are protected by ts ketchum and that thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. and that's it for me in the new scene. thanks for the update innovation, green, the green revolution global. so listen to whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed. if the care we subscribe to the center we've got here it is every friday subscribe to plan. it's a the the for the.
