consumed by flames. fierce winds up and propelling the inferno here and all to dina, controlling the blazes has been near impossible. i've lived in this area for over 20 years and we've seen fires in the mountains in the hills, but never anything like that ever. so last night, when the fire started about dinner time, my son and i went out to the fire line, which was that of canyon very close to where we live. and the fire burned through the evening. and i went back to my home in the middle of the night, but in the morning when i woke up i, it now seemed the devastation through the neighborhood. and this is a very historic neighborhood at the base of the san gabriel mountains in los angeles. these homes are well over a 100 years old. home neighborhoods or kingston are rated. some residents have been returning to the charred ruins of their former homes. the year was our

home with my sisters, and we'd lost practically everything, but the flames have consumed years of dreams. here. everything here has turned to ashes from, from the air, a wider view of the scale of a disaster. smoke stretching off for hundreds of kilometers from space. satellite imagery captured the 2 biggest places. the palisades and eating fires neighboring states are sending resources to help. president biden promised a strong federal response as he met with california as governor and other top state officials. the fire the

more than a $100000.00 people are under evacuation orders for customers. they commer wins, could help fire fighting efforts in the coming days. but as the blazes rage out of control, the extreme risk to life and property will remain. los angeles is the 2nd largest city in the united states, and is now witnessing one of the worst series of fires in his history. forties have ordered evacuations in 5 areas. the w reporters stuff in simons is on the edge of the so called sunset fire, which erupt is near the hollywood hills. while you're up to the right, this is where we are sunset, fire hollywood hills, very push neighborhood where a 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 last angel 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 it. there are how they cop this up in the now, those spotters, they are not, the helicopters were dump a lot which dump a lot of water, but 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 clip. the fact the destruction is really a immense, very, very way the big and significant church is gone. synagogue is going templates going, business is gone, homes gone, lot of people came back to discharge nevo, its 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 may be 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 deck for the fire are chief. he also, as well as the mayor of los angeles, that's why the governor of california said anybody with 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, and a lot of people live here where you set it yourself. uh, some of the fires are 0 percent contained according to officials. so how exactly our fire fighter is going to be able to bring them under control? the only chance is when nature helps and how is it helping by dying down those sent in a wind just 24 hours ago. those winds packed 100 miles per hour, tornadoes from gulf. that is amazing. now, i would say we're at like 30 between 30 and 40 miles per hour at times. that is still not great. but as i said, you hear sometimes helicopters in the air and now the fire department and the firefighters will start to use those air assets and they are critical to dump huge

amounts of fire. we target and water on fires which pop up again and again, and to really give them a, basically the death penalty to those flyers. and you can only do this if you have those air acids. if you have fixed wing airplanes and helicopters, who can really, really doubts those flames with just boots on the ground, it doesn't matter how many fire part is or hot shots, a groups you put on the ground, you cannot win this fight if the santa ana winds blowing as they do now a little bit, and half those fires jump from place to place uncontrollable. you can only take a defensive measure there and step way back and let the fire do what the fire does burning things down. that's what nobody wants here. of course, that's why the winds have to die down the plains have to they had a cup this have to go in the air and then l a is a good chance you to combat that fire suits and stuff on. i want to ask you about the thousands of people who've been told to evacuated, where are they taking shelter?

yeah, that's a, a growing problem because, you know, of course, shelters are organized for them in, in, in schools and safe places by the city government to buy city officials and the state. uh, so there is effort to really have those people uh, be provided with a safe place. but um, you know, they, those safe places. so show the places have to be built up. they have to be uh, organized and that's what the city is actually doing right. now, so its not all smooth and hunky dory. yeah. a lot of people are in a lot of hurt for that reason it's really cumbersome. they don't have necessarily any way to go. so they rely on friends and relatives, you know, to find a place for the night, or maybe for 2 nights. if they can find the official shelter, but they'll shelters are there. and there will be increasing a numbers in the next few hours next few days until the situation is sol. and that was the double use stuff in simon's in los angeles for us stuff. and thanks for your reporting. we appreciate it. and please do stay safe. let's turn our attention

now to some of the other stories making news around the world. us president elect donald trump and his wife, milan you have paid their respect to the late president jimmy carter. and marx 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. and italian journalist has arrived in rome after being freed from detention in iran. cecilia sala was reporting into iran last month when she was detained. it was shortly after the us in italy, a rest of 2 iranian nationals over export violations linked to a deadly attack on american servicemen. a russian attack on the cities about asia and southern ukraine has left at least 13 people dead. that's according to the

regional governor. around 30 others were injured and hospitalized. russia has intensified attacks on eastern ukraine in recent months, with severe impacts on civilian in the coming hours, ukraine's president's lot of mirrors the landscape will need with allies at the us military's raj time air base. here in germany is the last that's gathering for us defense secretary lloyd austin. before donald trump tanks office later this month, one focus will be air defense. zalinski wants more of it. both of us and germany have already provided patriot anti aircraft systems to ukraine. the west has supplied attack homes, long range missiles and given cube permission to fire them into russian territory. germany has also provided gephardt, anti aircraft tags, and iris, anti aircraft systems. ukraine's partners have given more than $120000000000.00

worth of military aid since rushes full scale invasion nearly 3 years ago. about half that amount has come from the u. s. and another at 25 percent from germany, which is ukraine's 2nd biggest becker. well the thing up kids arsenal of modern anti missile an anti drone weapon re, could also reduce pressure on you cranes, mo, bile, air defense units such units move quickly and must make the most of existing weapons, dw, correspondence on your phone occur was given a closer look at how they operate the fight and the skies over you creed, every single night nearby and a defense units like these take on deadly russian add attacks these units. i'm not as sophisticated as the wisdom provided featured for iris the system,

but the cheapest and the most quickly outside key this go use this to different weapon system. a talk is supplied heavy machine guns, modeled on it's better known american come to box the into browning to shoot down drones, hold them above the main goal is to shoot down targets flying at low altitude for the moment while we have thermal imaging on it, which allows us to detect and make corrections and destroy the target overall google issue of the problem. and they also use this, the multiple soviet era, you know, similar to the american made single entry across, besides the system. it's capable of shooting down crews besides, those will be the 30th of the finding, the target, the messiah limits, the sound and light signal. a green flashlight lights up here. this is a high so this means you can shoot at the target. doesn't say sure most little,

but the put this unit was put together just months of the rushes full scale invasion. they had just 3 days to present the weapons before being forced into the fighting. on behalf of there are a lot of attacks now. they're massive. they can even last all day, but also it's, it's silly that even when a defend stains, like bees successfully shot down to beside this danger from the fiery wreckage of the target falling beside and thrown, jeffrey often killed people and damage buildings and infrastructure will have a positive about their cases one, we should issue a head drawing, but it applies for another 5 to 10 kilometers guy to death is a little then at one point or falls a cool people. recently, a girl died nearby is a key of a lot of people. i've read the comments and by it's terrible. most of the people say the military is to blame like yep. all right, but how many people would have missile destroyed if it hits its target in cuba from

april or odessa? i was often near the 3 years of war, the men's, your say, they need more ammunition and weapons to continue come to the russian attack. and they see there's one more thing that's just as important should be. there is a new issue, the not the people have to understand this because it was big loss to end in order to ended, we need to mobilize so that people can be rotated to them. so that when we have given weapons a good boy, we can train and tufty up at unit to to defend ourselves with these weapons. uh yeah. hold on. what movies? uh, football or not this uh to really talk with weston allies may result in mil weapons . but it would still be ukrainians themselves, will have to take the plus the risk on the front line. it definitely is on your fall in our file that report. and earlier she told me more about ukraine's serious manpower shortages. we ukraine has really been struggling to, you know, you know,

replenish its ranks and rotate exhausted troops off the front. this has become a very pressing issue reports to address the most new recruits. now are quite old. they about $45.00, the unmotivated. there's a reason to procure that said that the brigades you created for gate that was trained in fronts and provided with western width. and a lot of people gave the supposedly deserted ukrainian video has talked about some problems with managing and staffing some units. so i think all this adds to this picture of people, joe, now being reluctant to sign out of the army, you will be running out of willing recruits. and, and, and this is a little despite publicity campaigns with various brigades you create in parliament and someone lowered the call up age from 27 to 25. it also added additional value. do you say the least of those trying to dodge the to off when you speak to or do the ukrainians here? of course people understand that, you know, there is a need to talk more young men to the all me. but i think this mobilization policy

is quite unpopular. the reports of young men trying to hide from recruitment offices. uh, you know, uh, leaving the country in the causal and still trying to evade the draft. and this issue of mind publish voltage now has to be communism editing with the queen. size to be with president savanski has no business to public calls by divided administration to follow the laws. mobilize ation each $218.00. this is a sensitive issue in ukraine, given that the country already uh, you know, pieces of demographic questions. so now what to ask you about the recent attack on the city of separation. it was one of the deadliest attacks on civilians and recent months. what more can you tell us about it? that's correct. i mean the regional to go from the inside. patricia says this attack happened yesterday in the middle of the office. it took several residential buildings and industrial facilities. the debrief of these guides bones that they use use of having to also spoke with crammed injury. i'm kidding passengers and the

presence of landscapes see reactive to this attack. seeing, you know, there is nothing more cruel than bomb being a city said knowing that or do the civilians will supplement. she said, rushing, taylor has to be stopped. and it has to be said that russia has been using these guided bones. these get these highly destructive precision guided munitions, adult. she has been using them to hit you premium border cities likes to me and car keys, but also is up with the shell which borders you premium. you know, people are land in the thoughts and let's put something in ski as now said that he would be, you know, urging his partners to be at a meeting and from shining germany to, to boost you quite as capabilities supply and protect ukraine from these destructive bones which are quite difficult to intercept with. uh, amazon. it depends on the site. well, sonya just uh, what are the expectations for this meeting at the us air base and raj time here in germany. i mean, we know that donald trump is about to take office uh at the end of january. um,

what could you crane hope for what i think the summit comes out to really close cushion moments for ukraine. you know, given that the war is now kind of approach, he gets a todd, your mock ukraine is you know, continuing to lose ground in the eastern russian pulse of its leaders now are now under pressure to negotiate as, as long as 12, by the same gets set to enter the white as prompt as a full set. he wants to get us out of a rush, is what and you praise you wants to negotiate the dispute. i think there is a feeling here now and ukraine despite all the places of support that you would see today. that's what i'm showing. that is a lot of uncertainty. sure about you know what, what comes next with the, with the us, we continue to, to back ukraine, mutually in, in the robust by the thank you for that. sonya, that was the delay as on your phone, the car reporting for us from kids. we appreciated to the southern african

country mozambique now, which is in turmoil after a highly controversial presidential election back in october. now, the opposition leader of a non c. i'm online, it has returned to the country, which he fled in the aftermath of that boat. international observers say the election was marred by irregularities. molanda supporters say it was rig loaner has now expressed willingness to participate in talks to resolve the crisis. we asked our correspondence, diane hawker for her take on the return of mozambique supposition liter. well, mariana, the timing in this or 10 is really everything the most in beacon president elect. daniel chapel is expected to be a no grated on the 15th of january, which is next week, wednesday and $19.00. it says that he should be in new grade 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 uncertainties in the country. we saw that one's on the arrived this morning to a gaggle of priests and supporters 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 and big political landscape and are there concerns there, there that there could be more violence they are, of course concerns that they could be quite a lot more violent. we've already seen 278 people reportedly killed in some other reports from the 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 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 $330.00 could be a risk that if found by police, if he is to be a risk to that could spark even bull protest. all 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 gratian he has felt the need to return to the country. and as he said, uh, make sure that he gets the no gray to in state well ones on it. and also others have been calling on the south africa 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 double use. dan hawker in johannesburg for us. many things indeed was violent spar 5 mos on big disputed october election is forcing growing numbers of people to flee. my name was and beacons, or now heading north to malawi in search of safety. the w traveled to the 10 gone evacuation camp in malawi to speak to people about their journey and the struggles they now faced. their arriving in malawi as a relief from many families fling the violence in mozambique we ahead because of the disputed selection and the violence life is tough. my love is peaceful. i wish my country was like the people here or if i did, i've, i've seen that when i crossing the border to get to this evaluation camp 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 city and does it for my children and i slept 3 smelled full nights and the forest arrived here hungry and exhausted. sadly, there is acute shortage of food. i know the children are only getting the little porridge we played 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 below we southern border. thousands of people have flayed mozambique, move in 3000 of them are in this camp alone. officials born at dia, risks as they struggled to manage the sewage and people desperately seeking refuge

. we're ready now remodeling. this place is slowly becoming a breeding ground for colorado and other multiple diseases. we've got the main problem besides food is the camp has no toilet. if nothing is done color, i could soon break out rid of her. you know, if i'm on a, the malawi government is trying to scale of its support and the ceasing of 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 malawi, 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 does this on new one for, for the site. so we're trying to look at measures on how we can ensure that water is provided to decided before we move everyones to these sites. malawi is already struggling to provide enough food for its own population and the surgeon 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 . and that's the latest on the table. you can use this hour, i'm ariana evans team from me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching the,
