good morning. on this wednesday, i'm kendis gibson. >> i'm diane macedo. here are some of the top headlines we're following on "world news now." president trump is moving ahead with plans to break with long-held policy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. the region is bracing for violence and the u.s. is accused of on taking sides. breaking news overnight, dozens of buildings, including many homes, have been destroyed by out of control wildfires in southern california. tens of thousands of residents are in shelters in the overnight hours and today's weather may make the situation worse. and intelligence officials have reportedly broken up a plot to assassinate british prime minister theresa may. it was supposed to take place at 10 downing street. two men arrested on terrorism charges are due in court today.

remember that man who spent his last $20 for gas for a stranded driver in philadelphia? well, he's now a homeowner. johnny bobbit used some of the $400,000 raised on a gofundme page to buy a new house. congratulations to him. those are some of our top stories on this wednesday, december 6th. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> that's one of my favorite stories of the year. so glad he's doing well. we'll have a little bit more on that. but we begin this half hour with a seismic shift in u.s. policy in the middle east. president trump is expected to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. >> the president plans to make the announcement from the white house today. it fulfills a promise he made on the campaign trail. that said, to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem could threaten peace efforts and ignite a new wave of violence in the region. abc's martha radatz has more.

>> reporter: president trump's calls to arab leaders, one after another, prompting new alarm, and israel is bracing for trouble. recognizing jerusalem as the capital and moving the embassy could end chances for peace and begin a cycle of violence. egypt's president saying a move could undermine peace opportunities. jordan's king saying it will provoke muslims and christians alike and palestinian president mahmoud abbas calling it unacceptable, with various palestinian factions calling for three days of rage. >> it's safe to say other than israel who thinks that this move is 22 years overdue, that all of the feedback he's getting from world leaders is overwhelmingly negative about this idea? >> no. again, he spoke with five leaders. that's hardly indicative of everybody across the globe. >> reporter: but there is no other country in the world who

has its embassy in jerusalem. president trump does not want to preclude the possibility and the embassy move could take years. u.s. officials are already sending warnings about potential widespread demonstrations, starting wednesday. telling american citizens to avoid places where crowds are gathering, while prohibiting u.s. government employees and their families from entering jerusalem's old city, bethlehem and neighboring areas. and marine corps fast teams are being provided for extra security in some places in the region. >> as people across the region prepare for the possible repercussion, some say the move could end washington's role as mediator. >> for a look at what's happening on the ground this morning, let's turn on to abc's molly hunter who joins us live from jerusalem. molly, good morning. what's the reaction this

morning? >> reporter: good morning. that's right. it's on the cover of every page this morning. everyone is talking about it. it's only 9:30 in the morning. already, all night the arab leaders had emergency meetings, the palestinian president met with his staff ask senior officials late into the night. and late last night, the palestinians announced three days of rage. it will start today and go through friday. we're not sure what that will look like. that could be incredibly dramatic across the west bank and jerusalem and gaza. we're not sure. we're watching, obviously, very, very closely. jerusalem, you guys, is a very emotional issue for palestinians. because it's an issue they always thought would be decided in peace negotiations. they feel the u.s. can no longer be an honest broker. the u.s. can no longer be the middleman shuffling back and forth between two sides now that they've come out and said this. and now the al aqsa mosque is in the old city, the third holiest city in islam.

this isn't just a local issue. it affects muslims all over the world and all over the region. the state department is bracing for reaction. we are watching for the possible violent reaction. and the israeli military as beefed up security in jerusalem and is on stand by for protests and will be watching very closely. diane. >> that, indeed. molly, as you know, i was there in jerusalem just a few months ago, spoke with some officials there who were talking about this possible news. and they were saying that it would be a controversial decision. why exactly would it be? >> reporter: it's a very, very controversial decision. there's a reason that no other u.s. administration, despite the support for israel, there's a reason that no other u.s. administration has done this. it's a city that stokes the both israelis and palestinians lay claim to. they're divided and each considers it the capital. according to a source close to the white house, the president wants to keep this broad, not predicting the outcome of any future peace negotiations. but, twice, the muslim world and palestinians will not see it

that way. the other thing i want to mention that's notable, the president is expected for the first time to support the two-state solution which is in line with u.s. policy. but honestly, the seismic shift, the recognition of jerusalem will over-shadow that. >> so, molly, with all this controversy, really quick, why do this? >> reporter: look, i mean, that's anyone's guess. there are a lot of people in washington trying to figure out why president trump would do that. we've heard his argument. it's fulfilling a major campaign programs. but we've also heard almost every candidate for the last two decades promise the same thing. and in addition to arab leaders, analysts, experts, former negotiators say there's no real good interest served by doing this right now. they say it will hurt goodwill between any negotiators right now. it will not serve the u.s. to be this middleman, this negotiator if they do this, but he's going through with it. so we'll see how this goes. >> we will.

abc's molly hunter live for us in jerusalem. thanks, molly. we move now to the russia probe. sources say special counsel robert mueller has subpoenaed the deutsche bank. it may be a sign that the investigation is stemming towards president trump's finances. the bank had loaned him over $300 million for real estate transactions in the past. but the white house says any report tying subpoenas to the president's financials are false. and donald trump jr. is heading to capitol hill today to meet with the house intelligence committee behind closed doors. he's expected to answer questions about the 2016 meeting with a russian lawyer. nbc news is reporting that the russian attorney told the senate committee that don jr. asked her if she had evidence of illegal donations to the clinton foundation. she reportedly said he lost interest after learning she had no new information. now to our other breaking news overnight, tens of thousands of southern californians are spending their night in shelters because of out of control wildfires.

>> the fires are so massive you can actually see the smoke from space. the smoke is creating unhealthy air quality, even for those away from the flames. >> the big ventura county, the thomas fire, as it's called, has destroyed dozens of buildings, including many homes, at least one large apartment complex and a psychiatric hospital. >> that said, there is another fire burning out of control in the city of los angeles. the creek fire has shut down the 280 freeway and has destroyed at least 30 homes right there in the los angeles area. and dozens of schools have canceled classes for today due to the fires. >> meanwhile, helicopter crews working into the night, dropping fire retardant and water are trying desperately to get this under control. >> on the ground, firefighters are stretched thin and conditions are not good. kabc's annabelle menez reports. >> reporter: shouting orders to coordinate quickly, firefighters stood against these tall flames, inching closer and closer to homes. >> fire flared up on the backside of this hill that we're on.

it inched up on the homes on the backside of them. >> reporter: their most important resource was not easily accessible. >> there's no working water supply on this street right now, so we have to shuttle the water all the way down about a block away. >> reporter: winds picked up during the intense fire fight, tossing embers in every direction. while evacuation orders were in place, some like jim martin stayed behind, using a garden hose to protect his home. >> i haven't slept in two days, so it's -- it's a little rough. i'm looking for a good night's sleep, but i don't know if i can, because of all the flareups. >> reporter: once most of the flames in this area were put out, we could see martin was relieved. >> extremely relieved, yes. i don't do drugs, but i wish i had some in the last couple of days. >> okay. that was unusual. we're going to continue to keep an eye on the situation there in

southern california. we move on now. two high school students in washington state are hospitalized this morning, recovering from gunshot wounds. they were shot near their high school, about 45 miles south of seattle, then went back to the school's campus. that prompted a lockdown for several hours as police searched for the suspects. one person is in custody and the police say the incident may be gang related. one of america's oldest watchdogs is offering an alarm. over a new app offered in cars by general motors. the national safety council says gm's new marketplace app will contribute to distracted driving. it allows drivers to browse deals and place orders with several major brands, including starbucks, priceline and dunkin donuts. gm insists the app complies with voluntary driver distracted guidelines. there's a new mystery on mars, and photographic proof of it. what is that? some say it's a cannonball.

do you see? it? off to the top left. >> yeah. the so-called cannonballs are actually sedimentary rocks or created through a natural process, or maybe someone was bowling. >> that's true. these types of rocks are typically just a few centimeters across or really small. they were first spotted by one of nasa's mars rovers, back in 2004. >> i'm still going with the bowling theory. >> i'm still going with some alien life brought it there. >> mm-hm. >> and it's proof. comes up, hot toys are flying off the shelves and into the hands of cyber scalpers. people are buying those toys up and then hiking the prices. and the lines are drawn outside the supreme court as justices take on the case involving gay marriage, region and cake. you're watching "world news now" ...to show my love. ta-da! all this devotion only calls for a little bit of dawn ultra.

>> and it's not just one fire. there are almost half a dozen, both within and outside the city of los angeles. the largest is the fast-moving thomas fire in ventura county north of l.a. governor jerry brown has declared a state of emergency there. >> so the fire has destroyed major highways and the air quality has been declared in other areas. these are live pictures in the overnight hours. really, they go for thousands and thousands and thousands of acres, beyond the camera view that you're seeing there. now abc's marcus moore is right there on the ground on the fire lines. >> reporter: homes in flames. thousands evacuated. >> they're attacking it the best they can. that's all they can do because this wind is moving in every direction. >> reporter: as wildfires burn out of control in california. >> we had a rough night last night. >> reporter: the thomas fire in ventura county northwest of los angeles exploding to 70 square miles in a matter of hours, the flames heading right for the city of ventura and its hundreds of thousands of residents. this entire apartment complex is engulfed in flames as fire crews try to put water on it. but look over here, there's another large fire burning on the other side of this hill. >> mandatory evacuation due to the fire. >> reporter: first responders going door to door. >> is anybody home? >> reporter: evacuating more than 27,000 residents. many forced to drive out through an inferno.

>> this is literally like 15 feet away from us right now. >> reporter: this group panicked as the flames started coming in. >> we need to get out of here as soon as possible. that fire is right there. >> reporter: the vista del mar hospital destroyed. all patients and staff made it out in time. by daybreak, firefighters are able to make their aerial assault. the ferocious santa ana winds unrelenting. the wind is blowing the photographer right now, upwards of 70 miles per hour. the flames turning entire neighborhoods into cinders. >> my house is gone and all the neighbors around me are all gone, as well, all of them. >> reporter: this home burning from the inside out. we met tracie bird as she watched her home burn to the ground. >> i can't describe what i'm thinking. my mind is not really connecting with it all yet.

and yet, there it is. >> reporter: the thomas fire one of multiple blazes scorching the state. to the south, the creek fire on the northern edge of los angeles, forcing more evacuations. that fire also out of control. and in santa clarita, the rye fire jumping interstate 5, shutting down that major highway. the winds have picked up again here in ventura and the embers are skipping house to house and jumps over some and destroying others. the other problem, water pressure. firefighters say they had to let some house the burn because they didn't have enough pressure in the hydrants, perhaps because of the power outages. marcus moore, abc news, california. >> at least 150 structures have been destroyed by that wildfire in ventura county. >> and that includes at least one large apartment complex and the psychiatric hospital. you saw it referred to there in marcus' report. but officials expect the true

number is much higher. >> thousands of people have been forced from their homes, and they're not worried about what they might find when they return. >> at one point, a wall of fire 30 foot high came at us and we had to turn and around. at some point, you can't see five foot in front of you because of the smoke. >> i happened to get up at 3:00 in the morning and go out to have a cup of coffee and smelled the smoke. it was less than an hour and the canyon was involved. these winds are insane. >> we went outside and there was gold all over the place. >> i just don't know where to go. i don't know where to take them. there's more horses in trailers, so if anybody is out there who can bring a horse trailer out here and help because once we get them out of our place, it may still be going. we may have to move them from there, too. >> the neighbor's shed caught on fire and exploded into a fireball and set the roof on fire and i took off down the street. >> how many more horses do you have left? >> maybe 20 more. >> 20 more? 20 more. >> we've just been watching the news all day, and when we saw our house on fire, we knew that the worst scenario had come true. >> i think we're in shock. that's how i'm taking it.

but christmas will go on, just not here. >> yeah, clearly tough on the people and tough on the animals, there, too. check it out. one kabc reporter helped rescue a lost dog from the creek fire. that dog is on its way to a shelter. a lot of people in this area also have horses. there are many ranches there and stables. so there's a major effort under way to evacuate all the horses as well. quite an undertaking. so the weather conditions over the next 24 hours will be key to the fire fighting effort. accuweather's paul williams tracking the southern california outlook. paul. >> good morning, diane, kendis. we have big problems in southern california. the fire threat is very real and continuing to stay that way because of very gusty winds and the lack of moisture there in general with low humidity in the first place. we have activated red flag warnings. that means we have parched conditions setting up perfectly for more fires. take a look at the winds here. look at this acceleration of the santa ana winds. peak winds of between 60 to 80 miles per hour and stronger than that from los angeles to san diego.

kendis, diane. >> those winds are staying strong. paul, thank you. also breaking this among, intelligence officials in the uk have reportedly foiled a plot to assassinate british prime minister theresa may. sources say the plan was to detonate an improvised explosive device at 10 downing street, the prime minister's official residence, and then attack her during the chaos. two men believed to be linked to the plot are expected to appear in a london courtroom today on terrorism charges. also today, president trump is expected to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel, with upending decades of u.s. policy and possibly jeopardizing midwest peace efforts. protesters are planning to be out in force and leaders around the region are bracing for violence. abc's jim dolan has the latest. >> reporter: like the embassies of every other nation, the u.s. embassy is in tel aviv. they do that so they don't appear to be take being sides in the dispute over whether jerusalem belongs to israel or

palestine. israel took control of jerusalem in 1967. it controls it still and has built settlements even in places historically dominated by palestinians. u.s. president donald trump will give some legitimacy to israel's claim on jerusalem, even though many nations around the world consider israeli presence in some parts of the ancient city an occupation. trump will announce that the u.s. embassy will move there. >> he does so, he will be committing a major historical misstep. >> reporter: reaction was swift. egypt's president said it could undermine peace opportunities. jordan's king said the move will provoke muslims and christians alike. and mahmoud abbas said it was unacceptable. the u.s. will scout locations in jerusalem and make sure security is as it should be and then make the move. probably years from now. in new york, jim dolan for abc news. >> jim, thank you. and alabama senate candidate

roy moore got some high profile help on the campaign trail. former white house strategist steve bannon appeared on a rally. he attacked mitt romney who has said that moore would be, quote, a stain on the gop and the nation if he was elected to the senate. bannon also noted his service in the army while calling romney a draft dodger. he railed against republican senator jeff flake who posted a picture of a $100 donation he sent to moore's democratic opponent, doug jones. flake wrote country over party on that check. election day in alabama is next tuesday. and if you haven't made your holiday plans for christmas, you might want to hurry up. flights are filling up quickly. more than 51 million passengers around the world will take at least one plane trip. that's 3.5% increase over last year. the busiest days will be december 21st, 22nd and 26th. the lightest days, december 16th, christmas eve, christmas day and new year's eve.
