were called to the area after a family dispute involving wean stein and his 22-year-old daughter. no arrests were made. meanwhile authorities are left answering questions about why weinstein was not prosecuted after this secretly recorded video during a nypd sting operation. >> why you touch my breasts? >> oh, please, i'm sorry, i'm used to that. >> you're used to that? >> yes. come in. >> no, but i'm not used to that. >> i won't do it again. >> reporter: the manhattan d.a. defended its decision not to prosecute. >> obviously he has some serious issues and the tape is terrible. but i, the d.a., have to be guided by the evidence and the elements of the crime. >> reporter: now hollywood is hush-hush no more. similar stories shared by 20 women who say they were sexually harassed or raped by weinstein. >> he comes back out and he's totally naked. and that's when i just thought, what is happening? how is this happening and what

is he going to do to me? >> reporter: many are asking how this culture of complicity was able to exist for so long. actor seth macfarlane knew about the allegations for years and meant this at the oscars as a jab more than a joke. >> congratulations one five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to har vin wine sign. >> reporter: macfarlane saying it came from a place of loath something anger after his friend, jessica bart, said she had been sexually harassed by weinstein in 2011. weinstein has been fired and denies any allegations of non-consensual sex. ben affleck called the actions sick, but then rose mcgowan tweeted back. and now georgina chapman tells "people" magazine she is leaving her husband. weinstein's brother, bob, his long time business partner is calling weinstein a world class liar and a very sick man.

meanwhile, the board claims they had no idea about the allegations. linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> linsey, thank you. and while the board maintains no idea about the allegations, the "new york times" is reporting that the board knew about three or four settlements that weinstein had with women and they knew that back in 2015. now a board member is acknowledging that part of it but saying that they thought those settlements were for consensual affairs. >> which they thought was a normal thing because he had been in a ten-year marriage at the time. but you have to have thought this was one of the worst-kept secrets in hollywood. you would have thought the board knew something about it or at least his brother bob who's right there on the board. >> they're certainly asking a lot of questions about that now and the times will keep digging as will we all. >> yes. now to the wildfires in california. they are claiming more lives,

exploding in size and consuming thousands of homes as more people are forced to evacuate. >> new evacuation orders were issued for entire towns, giving many residents just minutes to pack up what they could and get out. the death toll has climbed now to at least 23. hundreds remain unaccounted for and officials say the worst is far from over. you look at these images, hard to even tell what you're looking at. but those are where homes once stood. abc's maggie rulli is in santa rosa. >> reporter: diane and kendis, many people here in santa rosa were in such a rush to evacuate when those wildfires rolled in that now they are left desperately searching for their loved ones. firefighters on the front line up against 22 wildfires still burning in california are being pushed to the limit. nearly helpless against the wind. >> it's going to continue to get worse before it gets better. >> reporter: even three days after the flames ignited they are still unable to gain control of the blazes, despite throwing everything at them. this video from the sonoma county sheriff's office showing firefighters driving into the

burned down, families now desperately trying to reach their loved ones. authorities saying nearly 300 are still on the missing list. high winds and dry air are back in the region, and many worry that firefighters could be up against another fierce fight and that communities like this one could face even more devastation. diane and kendis? >> and maggi, we're going to follow up on what you're saying there. these hours right now, as we speak, could be critical in the fight against the flames as those winds pick up. >> let's turn to accuweather's justin povick for more on the conditions expected today. >> kendis and diane, thank you, and good morning to you. a very, very dangerous situation continuing in the golden state of california. notice where we have the red flag warnings in effect through this evening, running to the sacramento valley, especially on the western side. that's where we're going to see the most dangerous conditions here as the winds will continue to be on the gusty side. we're still talking about low

humidity. the humidity a little higher now over southern california, but that changes as it drops again later on this week. diane? kendis? >> justin, thank you. and president trump is turning his attention back to tax reform and taking his message straight to the working class. the president pitched his plan to hundreds of truckers in pennsylvania last night. he said cutting the corporate tax rate to 20% along with other proposed changes would give truck drivers more products to deliver and create new changes for the middle class overall. >> under our framework, the first $12,000 for a single individual and the first $24,000 for a married couple will be tax free. no tax at all. and remember, you'll do your tax on a single piece of paper. >> as the president looks to score his first major legislative victory, critics say his tax overhaul favors the wealthy and he's getting push back from republicans in high-tax states whose constituents would be hurt by the elimination of the federal deduction for state and local taxes. and the president is denying

a report that he talked about wanting a major increase in the nation's nuclear arsenal. according to nbc he made that statement at a pentagon meeting in july. the president slammed that report but said he did want the weapons to be modernized but also suggested that networks who report what he calls fake news should have their fcc licenses pulled. north korea's foreign minister weighing in on the dispute with the u.s. saying president trump lit a fuse of war during his september speech to the united nations. that report from a russian news agency also quoting the foreign minister as saying north korea would settle the final score with only a hail of fire, not words. mohammad ali enterprises has filed a $30 million lawsuit against fox broadcasting. the suit claims the network used ali's name and image in a promotional ad before the super bowl without his permission. lawyers argues that it could

>> when you're just starting out in the this industry, you know there are hundreds if not thousands of people who want your job. coming forward about sexual harassment and sexual assault is not an easy thing to do especially if your entire career is on the line. >> reporter: but sexual harassment is not just a hollywood problem. we spoke to working women from all kinds of industries late last year. how many of you have been sexually harassed over the course of your career. leave your hand up if it's more than twice. more than try times, more than four times. how many of you have been referred to, show of hands, as a girl? a doll? a babe? or honey at work? >> sweetheart belongs on that list as well. >> reporter: how many have heard you're too emotional. >> you're being too emotional. don't get too emotional. that's the new word for sexism and they put you down. but if you say anything, you're emotional because you're a

woman. >> reporter: then this shocking drop in hands. how many of you filed an hr request against your harasser? but isn't hr supposed to be the safe place to report harassment? >> typically the women are younger, they may be in a socioeconomic status that means they're very dependent on their job and perpetrators know this and in fact prey on them and count on their silence. >> i sort of silenced myself. in that moment, i felt like there's an erasure of yourself. >> i have to really think about my values and what's important to me and weigh them against my career. >> it's still hard for women and men who have been victims of sexual harassment to talk about it, which really speaks to how much we stigmatize victims and the goal is to empower women to speak up, which means that the perpetrators need very severe consequences. >> our thanks to rebecca jarvis there. you know, it's something a lot of women are afraid to come forward about because of the power their bosses have over them.

front lines are pushed to the limit. nearly helpless against their enemy, the wind. >> these fires are literally burning faster than firefighters can run. >> reporter: racing to save others while their own homes burn. >> myself. several of my friends, there are seven of us from santa rosa fire department, several from santa rosa police department, the sheriff's department who did lose our homes. >> reporter: since exploding sunday night, the fires still out of control, torching 170,000 acres. this new video from the sonoma county sheriff's office showing officers' terrifying escapes from the flames. and new evacuation orders in sonoma and napa counties and anxious moments for this mother. >> my son, i'm not sure if my son is there. >> reporter: soon learning, he'd gotten out too. 80 people with respiratory issues rushed from this veterans home. 2,000 residents of calistoga were told to immediate

immediately. >> they just came and knocked on the door and let us know it's time to go. >> reporter: more than 3,500 structures damaged or destroyed. what you see here is being called an urban assault. that fire melting the mobile homes down to the steel chassis. now what so shocked firefighters is that that firestorm leapt over this highway and engulfed other parts of santa rosa, and it's those conditions expected again. those winds forecast to gust up to 40 miles per hour. at least 21 dead, a number certain to rise. at that mobile home park, police officers cordoning off this area because they just found a body in the rubble. it was bob tunis's 69-year-old mother linda. >> probably just didn't hear people knocking on her door at 3:00 a.m., i don't know. >> reporter: well over 300 still reported missing, and complicating things, the inability to communicate. those flames claiming 73 cell phone towers. only the heartiest things have survived, including the tab of

steel in brady harville's hand. your personal dog tags? >> yeah. the ones i deployed with. >> reporter: wow. >> after i deployed, i gave them to my dad. he had them hanging in his man cave. >> reporter: it took him two hours of digging to find his most precious possession. you have goose bumps right now. >> i do. it's crazy. it's mind-blowing. >> reporter: as for a possible cause of the fire here, pg&e, that's the utility company, and you see them reinstalling power lines. there were equipment issues at the time the fire started, caused by quote, hurricane-strength winds, but that's only one possible cause of the 22 major fires burning in california right now. matt gutman, abc news, santa rosa, california. >> our thanks to matt. those winds had whipped up at one point to 75 miles per hour. that's impressive. and fire crews are concerned that separate fires will merge into even larger ones and the weather is not cooperating. >> no, it's not. accuweather's justin povick has

more on that. >> diane and kendis, thanks and good morning to you. still talking about gusty winds for today. and that's the big concern for wildfire danger through north central california. further to the south, higher moisture content. the winds are not going to be as strong, but that will change as we work our way into friday and also heading into the start of the weekend. red flag warnings in effect today to the north. these go into effect as we work our way into thursday night. so wind gusts here, 40-50 miles per hour in the mountains and hills west of the sacramento valley. kendis, diane? >> justin, thank you. and a dramatic audio recording is shedding new light on the timeline of the las vegas massacre. maintenance worker, steven shuck said he had arrived on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay to check out a report of a jammed door when he heard gunshots and called security for help. >> call police, someone's firing a gun up here, someone's firing a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway. >> now, according to a revised

police timeline, that was about six minutes later that the shooter started firing on the concert crowd. the person who reviewed the records tells abc news that hotel security did not call the police until after the rampage had already started and that police did not reach the 32nd floor until after the shooting had stopped. president trump says the government will give las vegas $1 million to go toward the investigation. in the meantime, he's looking to drum up support for his tax overhaul by making his case to the american worker in person. he promised truckers in pennsylvania that his massive tax cuts for businesses and everyday americans would lead to bigger paychecks and more jobs for the middle class. he also vowed that they'll reap big benefits as he rolls back regulations. >> i've ordered every agency across federal government to review and then remove the regulations that destroy your jobs, hamstring your companies and undermine your ability to compete.

>> okay, so that said, the president's tax plan is facing an uphill battle in congress. democrats say the wealthy stand to gain the most and even some republicans are opposed to certain provisions. president trump is strongly denouncing a report that he told military officials he wanted a nearly ten-fold increase in the u.s. nuclear arsenal. and defense secretary jim mattis is backing up the president's denial. abc's jonathan karl has the details. >> reporter: at an oval office photo op with canada's president prime minister justin trudeau, we asked about a report that he had asked for a ten-fold increase in the u.s. nuclear arsenal. >> you want to increase the nuclear arsenal? >> no, i never discussed increasing it. i want it in perfect shape, that was fake news by nbc which gives a lot of fake news lately. >> reporter: the report by nbc news said that during a july 20th meeting at the pentagon, trump told military leaders he wanted a bigger nuclear stockpile, what it was in the 1960s, nearly ten times the

number of warheads today. secretary of defense jim mattis, who was at the meeting, flatly denied that happened. issuing a statement saying recent reports that the president called for an increase in the u.s. nuclear arsenal are absolutely false. nbc says it stands by the report. the president told us he wants to modernize the weapons, not add more of them. >> you want no increase whatsoever. you're happy with the current size. >> we won't need an increase, but i want modernization and i want total rehabilitation. it's got to be in tip-top shape. >> reporter: that's actually a change from december when he tweeted, quote, the united states must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. the president didn't just dispute the nbc report, he went so far as to question their right to report it. >> it's frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write and people should look into it. >> reporter: and on twitter he

seemed to make a threat. with all the fake news coming out of nbc and the networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their license? bad for country. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. >> we should point out, those reports are still clearly heavily on the president's mind because he revisited the subject again just a few hours ago tweeting, network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that license must be challenged and if appropriate revoked. not fair to public. the white house is pushing back against allegations that the president is trying to shut down free speech saying the president is an incredible advocate of the first amendment. a texas democrat meanwhile has unveiled articles of impeachment against president trump but it doesn't appear his party is backing the move. congressman al green's resolution says the president has undermined the integrity of his office. however, green let it die before the full house could vote on it. democrats say they don't want to vote while the russia probe is unresolved. and facebook's chief

operating officer, cheryl sandburg, met behind closed doors with top members of the house intelligence committee had investigating russia's efforts to influence the presidential election. after that meeting they announced they would release russia's facebook ads. we know you can buy just about anything for your home on amazon. >> did you know you can use amazon to buy a home? the online retail giant is carrying a pre-fab, 360 square foot tiny house made from a new shipping container. it comes fully furnished, outfitted with a kitchenette, basic appliances, bathroom, bathroom, heat and air-conditioning. >> what about cable? >> i don't know. >> for $36,000 it comes right to your door. >> your house? what door? >> all you need is a concrete slab to put it on, and access to water, sewage and electricity. >> so it comes right to your concrete slab. >> it comes to your slab. that's actually kind of neat, and the price, not that bad. >> does it come with prime

two-day shipping? >> kind of worth it with amazon prime, right? the same day? >> i like it. coming up, why the boy scouts will no longer be just for boys. the organization is about to open its doors to girls. but many men and women think that's a bad idea. plus a brand-new beyonce video that doesn't feature beyonce at all. we're going to check in with the bey hive later in "the skinny," but first, here's a look at today's forecast. ♪ ♪ i'ma keep runnin' ♪ cause a winner don't quit on themselves ♪ "world news now" weather, brought to you by sandals. als.

>> we're back with some breaking we're back with some we're back with some breaking developments in the sex assault investigation surrounding harvey weinstein. >> the "new york times" reports his company may have known about possible settlements with women all the way back to 2015. this comes as tmz posted new video of weinstein outside his daughter's home yesterday during what is being called a family dispute. it's reported that he is now
