and it's now witnessing one of the worst series of fires is history. authorities have ordered evacuations in 5 areas, dw reporter stuff and simons is on the edge of the so called sunset fire, which erupt it near the hollywood hills. slowly up to the right, this is where we are sunset, fire hollywood hills, very push neighborhood, very affluent area. yeah, of course, hollywood hills and those folks here right behind me were the last ones who were hit by evacuation orders. and we asked law enforcement here, pretty much everybody left t o y because of the fire, which is going on. actually on the other side of the hill, it's growing and it's not under control. it's 0 percent contains. it is the latest blaze popping up in and around las and this, the biggest steel is the power set as fire. the winds were picking up about an hour ago now died down a little bit to you and that is a good side. why? because you can see it, but maybe you can hear their helicopters up in the now,

those spotters, they are not, the helicopters were dump a lot of which dump a lot of water pot is a good sign, wind dying down air assets for the firefighters in the air, and that means they can actually come bed effectively, pipe fire, which they couldn't in the last 24 to 48 hours at all. well, as we've been saying, there are multiple fires burning simultaneously and earlier you sent us some footage from the 8th and fire, which is near pasadena. what was going on there? a well, it's of a scene of destruction, really chaotic destruction. it's a, i wouldn't describe it as a war zone or a collect the fuck. the destruction is really a immense, very, very way the big and significant church is gone. synagogues going templates going, business is gone, homes gone, lot of people came back to discharge neighborhoods, entire neighborhoods gone, wipe of the earth, basically burned down to ashes,

and that is hard for those people. let's this fire the fire with the 2nd biggest is now starting to be contained 1020 percent maybe. but you know, a long way to go for the fire department here in l. a, as well as co fire the state firefighters here. and anybody else who is fighting this fire? that's why it's all hands on the x. the fire are chief. he off l. a as well as the mayor of los angeles. that's why the governor of california said anybody, where's fire fighting experience, please get your jelly jack inspect on. come year help us. we're in trouble. there's 5 big fires. hassling us here in l. a. and this is as you know, l. a. so there's a lot of stuff going on here, a lot of sites, movie production, a lot of people live here. that was dw reporter stuff in simon's reporting a short time ago from los angeles. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. you as president elect donald trump and

his wife maloney. i have paid their respects to the late president jimmy carter. in march transfers returned to the us capital since his supporters rioted there over the contest of 2020 election. on january 6th of 2021. trump is expected to attend carter's funeral. later on thursday, ukraine's presidential, it appears lensky will meet with allies at the us, military's rom shine air base in germany. it's the last as gathering for us defense secretary lloyd, off since before donald trump takes office later this month. one focus will be on air defense. lensky would like more for his country classes over a disputed election in mozambique, half a forest of thousands to flee their homes with many seeking refuge in neighboring malawi. the unrest follows october's highly contested a vote,

which the opposition and also international observers claimed, was wrecked the non single month lane, the main opposition leader returned to mozambique on thursday. after initially fling the country and the aftermath of the election lane has expressed his willingness to participate in talks to resolve the crisis. as the situation continues to unfold. many of those displaced are finding refuge in camps like 10 gummy in malawi, where they face difficult conditions. dudley's reporter elton shakara travelled there to speak with the displays, people about their journey and the ongoing struggles they now endure. arriving in malawi as a relief from many families fleeing the violence in mozambique. we ahead because of the dispute of the election and the violence. life is tough. my love is peaceful . i wish my country was like the people here or if i did have, i feel like when i crossing the border to get to the civic you ation kemp was

a difficult and dangerous journey. many recounts the harrowing time they had gazing here. but it's a struggle to x these basic supplies once they have arrived. a john gets a pretty busy for my children and i slept 3 smelled full nights of the forest. who arrived here hungry and exhausted. sadly, there is acute shortage of food on the children are only getting a little porridge to plead with them, allow the government to provide us with them because with what we need otherwise, we will stuff that we got to do to figure out since i came here i've been sleeping on an empty stomach. we only had 2 scoops of mayflower. there's no accommodation, no blankets, and i only have to dress. i'm standing up and be able to call this temporary campus one of the 4 that have been c sap on the allow we southern border. thousands of people have sleep mozambique,

more than 3000 of them are in this camp alone. officials won't die or risks as they struggle to manage the sewage and people desperately seeking refuge. we're ready now remodeling this place is slowly becoming a breeding ground for color and other multiple diseases. the main problem, besides food is that a camp has no toilet. if nothing is done color, i could soon break out rid of for, you know, if i'm on a malawi government, just trying to scale of that support and assessing up a formal attempt to base or accommodate the thousands of people crossing the border . already some tense has been fixed there with support from you and hcr and also my lawyer, red cross and as a partner there's also a change that i've been put there. however, the biggest challenge we have, nothing on the site is access to what that as there's only one full full on the site. so we're trying to look at measures on how we can ensure that water is provided to decided before we move everyone's to these sites. the malawi is already

struggling to provide enough food for its own population and the sewage and arrivals risk adding to the instability via leaving many in malawi n mozambique. hoping that com can be restored across the border. as soon as possible. definitely is diane hawker is following developments and most of the big from johannesburg. and i asked her for her assessment of the return of most of these opposition liter. well, mariana, the timing in this or 10 is really everything the most in beacon president elect. daniel chapel is expected to be ignored, grated on the 15th of january, which is next week, wednesday and will 9. it says that he should be new, great to be in state. and it seems like he plans to hold a parent allow inauguration process instead of daniel chapel. this is of course,

expected to create quite a lot of excitement in to a certain extent, some and such and teach in the country. we saw that one's on the arrive this morning to a gaggle of praise and supportive at the airport in the photo and the is a lot of expectation of what he will do next over the next few days. between now and back, you know, gratian date. all right, so the opposition leader planning a parallel and all your ration. how is this likely to impact most in big political landscape and are there concerns there, there that there could be more violence they all of course concerned that they could be quite a lot more violent. we've already seen 278 people reportedly killed in some other reports from other civil society groups in mozambique. they say that number could be even higher. today we've seen large groups of people walking through the

streets of a mozambique on a, through the streets of my put so in particular, most in beaks capital hoping to hear what the next marching orders are from one vanity. and i'm going to time it has been charged by the government for inciting violence. and there is a threat that he could be a risk to if found by police, if he is to be arrested. that could spark even bull protest. oh, he himself could call for additional protests over the next few days. there is an expectation that he will make further addresses. now that he is back in the country, he was in a self imposed exile. but it seems that due to the single ration he has felt the need to return to the country. and as he said, i make sure that he gets the no grades in state well ones on it. and also others have been calling on the south african government and others to intervene. is that

likely to happen as well? we have seen some if it's to, to mediate and to, to, to create some kind of calm in mozambique over the past few weeks. we know that the and golden government has also been calling for the to become of africa, has sent an invoice to mozambique to try and get the different political parties to come to the table and for try and find a solution that solution. it's lucky a how it will come about because the views also different as to what the to outcome in the election is. for example, the for demo potty, which is the routing party, has accepted that he does one by 65 percent way as the opposition parties in the country believe that one's on it has, has one and for baby to be any kind of of reaching a middle ground someone will have to compromise on the position and you haven't seen any appetite for that. that's for the double used and hawker in johannesburg
