of the night. wildfires broke out here now to dana in the foothills, northeast of los angeles on tuesday evening. they are now tearing through the neighborhood of the brush fires that store hours earlier in the coastal pacific palisades still out of control. the affluent area is time to many los angeles does including the coach of the basketball team, the la, cuz j reddick, the i just want to acknowledge and send thoughts and prayers to everyone in the house aids right now, it's where i live, my family and my wife's family, my wife's twin sister have evacuated. i know that a lot of people are um, freaking out right now, including my family and from the sound of things with the the winds coming tonight

. i know lot of people are scared when the fire started, some residents did that best to try to keep it to pay tens of thousands, flat the homes, causing traffic jams on the narrow roads. many escapes justin time. i have never seen the fires with this close to the cars. people left their cars and policies drive burning up the hillsides, palm trees, everything's going and the wind and the firemen are great that 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 and a mass of olives of g t firefighters being called in to help the colleagues on the ground too, and now facing

a battle on several fronts. jason, come today near as a john list and i lay with 5 sizes. then now bustling 3 blazes. i asked him to update us from the current situation. that's right. in, in total we've only burned officially about $5000.00 acres. but if you look at it from some of the pictures online and, and social media, people who are domain from their balcony, from miles away, obviously the official numbers of that acreage and the charge land in southern california is going to be in probably the 10s of thousands one, the sun does come up here. the firefight is dire. the winds are gusting up to about a 100 miles an hour in some spots. and that's causing the embers from mainly the palm trees. to float

a several miles down the road or across town. and that starting another spot fire and then that starts another fire, then that starts another fire. so the firefighters are spread very, very then right now. and all they're trying to do is just try to stay ahead of it. but there really is no way and with the winds gusting up to a 100 miles now there's no way they can fight that. people are trying to get to safety as soon as they can. and the roads are very, very narrow and very small in that part of southern california. so that's causing traffic jams. and that's causing a lot of panic for people trying to get to say, right, i mean, tens of thousands of people now under evacuation or does this that any health available for them? um, i mean how, how easy is it to escape from this situation? was not great. uh, yesterday we saw people uh, digging their cars and running down the street, holding suitcases full of their belongings because that's the only thing that they

could do. firefighters have made it their job to make sure that they're telling people 8. when we tell you to go, it is time to go, this is not a drill. this is a very serious situation, and there's a valuation centers that are being open. the problem is, is that the fire is moving so fast, and it's so a radek that a firefighters tell people to evacuate in one area or down one road and the wind shifts. it moves so fast that they don't want to get people trapped in. in that area, we are hearing reports and people getting hurt, trying to evacuate, and some people remaining in their homes in the fire creeping in on them. we have heard that we believe that some people may have sustained some broken bones on trying to get out. and in evacuating, and we're not exactly sure the details of that situation. but it, it, it's not,

it's not fantastic here in southern california. right now. these are very apple in areas. multi $1000000.00 homes being burned to the ground. right. i mean, just put into perspective the severity of these fires for us with seeing the pictures. what does this feel like if you're in this situation? well, i live about 20 miles south of the biggest fire the palisades and you can taste it. i'm inside and then the air condition building. and you can still daisy give that little smoke taste in the back to your throat. obviously you can hear it in my voice, but everybody's walking around very congested. so air quality is what is being affected for the, the masses in southern california by walking around and see the landscape totally engulfed in flames. is a scary feeling just in general, especially when you live here in southern california. we are the land of sun and

sunny beaches and it's not that way. right now the entire, you know, south bay was covered in smoke yesterday. and it's probably going to be that way for the next couple of days due to this wind storm that we're currently on. a journalist, jason kemp of donia in la. jason, thank you so much for your time. we really appreciate it and to stay safe. let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world today and gone to the health officials say a wave of is rainy strikes, hit the territory southern district of con, unit slate. on tuesday, a dozen people were killed including 7 children. at least 5 strikes, targeted con eunice, according to the terraced rays from us or on the health ministry. one hit me on the wasi area with thousands of displays, palestinians, and living intense along the coast. south korea's impeach president instant peel is facing a new attempt to arrest him on insurrection charges until the investigation says he will break through the security bar is the presidential compound. the presidential

this determination is long overdue. it was already in edwards when it went before we made the nation based on clear and convincing evidence that there was a support for us this. and it's a light malicious, i've engaged in um, you know, i've taught us at a crime specifically in genocide. we also identified for an ices fueling uh, the trust citizens for that. and so unfortunately, more often than not, the genocide determination will care when just in a slide is already complete. but i think um, this will, it comes with uh, you know, to measure it to you. it is a duty to prevent further genocide, but also duty to punish this is based on their the genocide convention. and i think this is really what we, what is needed. now. i think the 2nd part is it is
