good morning. i'm diane macedo. >> i'm kenneth moten in for kendis gibson. here are some of the top headlines we're following on "world news now." new fires erupt in california. the newest fire has leveleded at least 20 homes. overall nearly 200,000 have been forced to flee their homes and containment is days and in some cases weeks away. full details ahead. president trump is expected to sign a short-term bill passed by congress to keep the government from shutting down. they now have two weeks to find a long-term budget solution, but democrats and republicans are still far apart on a number of issues. republican trent franks is resigned from congress after admitting he asked staff members about being a surrogate mother for his wife. and al franken is stepping down amid allegations of sexual

misconduct. franken called some of the claims against him not true. president trump hosted his first hanukkah reception. hundreds of people were there, but congressional democrats were not invited. those are some of our top stories on this friday, december 8th. from abc news, this is "world news now." good morning. we begin this half hour with the latest on the southern california wildfires. nearly 200,000 people have been forced to evacuate. 20,000 homes are under threat and at least 500 buildings have been destroyed. >> the latest fire erupted north of san diego, incinerating six square miles in just a few hours. those flames destroyed at least 20 homes and several people were burned when they couldn't escape fast enough. navy helicopters will be used this morning to try to fight the fire. and to the north, the huge fire in ventura county could burn until christmas. abc's matt gutman and marcus moore are there. >> reporter: these firefighters have actually lit this fire ear. it's called a backfire. the idea is to create a buffer

between the scorched earth behind my and the unburned fields below. they don't want it to burn that telephone pole. now what's incredible about this fire, the thomas fire, is that we're 25 miles away from ventura, from the ocean, and this fire has reached all the way there. it is a massive fire, one of so many burning right now in southern california. well over 180,000 people have been evacuated from their homes because of this fire. major routes like the 101 in ventura, the 405 in los angeles have been closed because of it, and now more fires are breaking out south of here in san diego. those fires right now are zero percent contained. and there are thousands of firefighters across this state battling these flames right now, it is an uphill battle almost literally. the problem is there is so much dry vegetation. there has been a major drought for many years here. and the rains that did come last winter only fed the underbrush which now has dried out and made excellent fuel for these massive

fires. matt gutman, abc news in santa paula, california. >> this is what's left of this bit of land here in ventura county where this fire moved through. and it's been burning for several days now, and here it is where it has destroyed a facility where they have heavy equipment and also containers here, right along the 101 freeway that for a time was actually shut down in both directions as this fire continued to spread and actually jumped across the highway. and it was also where firefighters were working hard to prevent those flames from getting to homes along the coast here. it was feverish work and firefighters say it is personal for them. there are firefighters who lost their own homes in this and yet they are still on the front lines trying to prevent those flames from spreading to other homes. and certainly, we have also seen residents doing what they can to aid in that effort, grabbing their own water hoses to knock out the flames that really continue to spread. but as you look here in ventura county, it's still smoldering. the smoke is still rising into the air and residents are hoping

for improved conditions and firefighters can get a handle on these fires that have scorched so much earth. in ventura county, marcus moore, abc news. >> our thanks on to matt gutman and marcus moore. and it appears that those crews won't be getting much help from the forecast. >> accuweather's melissa constanzer joins us with details. good morning. >> kendis, diane, we keep the santa ana winds as we head through your friday. they will weaken slightly. those wind gusts through the valleys will still be more than 30 miles per hour. so the fire danger remains high. in fact, we'll keep these dry, low humidity conditions right through the weekend. and high pressure, it will weaken just a touch as we go through saturday but possibly even strengthening into sunday. that means the fire danger remains elevated right as we go through into your sunday evening. so no change there in the fire weather. take you to the southeast, and a big concern for the day will be the rain/snow mix.

we could be talking about sleet and snow in places like atlanta, charlotte and rally as we head towards the afternoon. kendis, diane. >> melissa, thank you. and here is an example of that snow. check out this rare look at college station, texas. and south bend, indiana has seen enough snow to turn parking lots into virtual skating rinks. turning now to new mexico, schools will be closed today in the city of aztec after a shooting that left two high school students dead. residents held a vigil last night remembering those students who were killed, francisco fer unanimous dizzy and casey marquez. new mexico's governor says teachers, school staff kept the situation from becoming worse. abc's maggie rulli has more. >> i never thought this would ever happen to me. it's just really scary. it's kind of hard to believe that i'm actually here right now. >> reporter: two students are dead after a shooter opened fire

inside aztec high school in new mexico. >> it's scary thinking this could be your last day. sglb s sglb. >> reporter: sophomore garrett parker said he was in history when the shots rang out. >> she said this is not a drill. as it got closer it was obviously gunshots. and that's when it -- i tensed up. >> reporter: new mexico state police confirm the shooter is also dead, and there is no more active threat to the students. >> there are very few facts right now. this is going to be a while before we have real information that we can share with you. >> reporter: aztec high school is about 180 miles north west of albuquerque, new mexico. in the small town of roughly 7,000, parents say everybody knows everybody. >> it's a really, really tight-knit community. so chances are, whoever the

victims are and possibly even the shooter, we know the victims. >> it's in times like this that you feel violated because of the schools are set up. those are places where we accept our kids to be safe. >> reporter: the fbi will assist in the investigation, helping local authorities find out exactly what happened. maggie rulli, abc news, new york. the man brought in to replace fired fbi director james comey is defending the integrity of his agency. that's after president trump said the fbi's reputation was in tatters. christopher wray faced a barrage of questions over the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and from democrats urging him to stand up against a president bent on tarnishing the reputation of the fbi. wray told the lawmaker hes that there's no finer institution. >> the fbi that i see is tens of thousands of agents and analysts and staff working there tails off to keep americans safe from the next terrorist attack. >> wray was also questioned about the fbi agent dismissed from the russia investigation for allegedly sending anti-trump

>> reporter: kenneth, diane, good morning. that's right. yesterday was day two of these apparently three days of rage. we were out there. pretty big protests. several thousand palestinian protesters clashing with the israeli military. but this is pretty widespread. even though each individual protest wasn't massive, they took place all across the west bank and in gaza. people were saying yesterday could be an indication of something much larger today. guys, the flashpoint we're watching for is the hours after friday prayers, which happens very shortly. kenneth and diane. >> and molly, if it's being called three days of rage, how is this expected to kul minute ate? >> reporter: i mean, today could be the turning point. we may find out today whether it fizzled out or whether it ramps up. the p.a. is under serious pressure to cut ties with the u.s. and walk away from any relationship with the u.s. and any relationship with the u.s.-brokered peace talks and we may find out more in the coming days. diane and kenneth. >> we are receiving reports that

palestinian officials refusing to meet with vice president pence when he arrives at the end of the month. what are you hearing? >> reporter: guys, that's right. so last night, one very senior official said the palestinians will not under any circumstances meet with mike pence. however, another palestinian official says that issue needs to to be discussed. but they both might be getting ahead of president abbas. nothing from his office yet. no confirmation, no comment. president abbas has, however, gone to the u.n. asking for support to reverse president trump's decision. and there will be a u.n. security council meeting later today. diane, kenneth. >> the declaration is done, but this isn't going to happen for quite some time, at least the moving of the embassy. so what are the hopes that there can be a middle ground of some sort. is there one? >> reporter: i think that's anyone's guess. i think his recognition was so vague, yes, the embassy is going to take months and months, probably years, actually. it's going to be incredibly expensive to build one of those embassies.

the embassy right now in tel aviv is a fortress. so to even find that land, hire the architect, figure out the security, this is a long, long process. if there's a middle ground, anyone's guess, guys. >> molly, as you've pointed out, obviously, from israeli officials and the prime minister, obviously positive and good thoughts that they've been talking about about president trump's announcement. as far as president trump and how he's been received in this news, what are we hearing about people saying about president trump specifically? >> reporter: look, i've covered the region for several years, guys. the anti-american sentiment at least here in the west bank in east jerusalem has been higher than it has been in the last couple years. and we actually heard reports the state department actually reached out to israel and said guys, please temper your reaction to this announcement. help us do damage control. help us hid head off and tamp down any violence across the region. they have beefed up security at embassies across the region. very worried that the anti-american sentiment could

heat up at those prayers. it's something they're watching closely here and trying to head off if any possible way they can. and we know you'll be watching closely, as well. molly hunter live for us from jerusalem. molly, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, a special ceremony at the white house. you're watching "world news now." breathe freely fast wmy congestion's gone. i can breathe again! i can breathe again! vicks sinex... breathe on.

for several acts of bravery. >> reporter: at this high school, a lesson in extreme, tragic violence. >> i never thought this would ever happen to me. it's just really scary, and it's kind of hard to believe. >> reporter: in the small town of aztec, around 8:00 a.m., a gunman enters the school and begins shooting. these students taking cover as gunshots rang out. two stunts, a male and a female, were killed. officers, some with their own kids at the school, arrived within a minute of the first call. >> we could hear casings hitting the floor. >> reporter: the gunman is now dead. police will not say if he was a student or how he died. and law enforcement sources tell abc news that the responding officers actually had to shoot through a locked door in order to get into the school. upstairs, they found the alleged gunman dead, a hand gun and multiple magazines next to the suspect. clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> and we'll have a live update from that school on "good morning america." we turn back now to southern california where those wildfires

are growing more and more. 439 homes have been destroyed in ventura county alone. that fire could last several more weeks. and new fires have erupted, including one in san diego county. that one has destroyed at least 20 homes and the santa ana winds fueling those fires are expected to to last through sunday. the weather is not helping those fire crews get this under control. >> right now six major fires are burning out of control very muching from santa barbara more than 200 miles south to san diego. that blaze exploded over six and a half square miles in hours, leveling dozens of homes and trailer hes, a retirement community, killing at least a dozen race horses. marci gonzalez is on the front lines with details. >> reporter: a new wildfire now spreading fast in san diego county, thick smoke blanketing streets as residents rush to evacuate. >> i've been going up and down the roads, making everybody leave. i've got one left. i need to tell the sheriffs to go get him, he won't leave. >> reporter: to the north, 150

square miles scorched. the thomas fire closing in on this beach front community, the heat melting glass over what was the back seat of this car and leaving staircases leading to nowhere. more than 400 structures destroyed. >> hospitals, large apartments, homes, people's living destroyed. >> reporter: across all of the wildfires burning across california, the flames are fueled by low humidity and powerful santa ana winds with gusts up to 60 miles per hour. >> mother nature decides when we are going to be able to put the fire out. >> reporter: until then, a scramble for so many to grab what they can. and get out. >> mandatory evacuation! >> reporter: nearly 200,000 people under mandatory evacuation orders. even the youngest, so grateful for the firefighters and showing their appreciation. >> one turkey. thank you. >> reporter: for their days of relentless work to contain the

flames. and they likely have at least several days to go with these strong winds expected through the weekend. so a tough battle ahead, especially for some of these firefighters on the front lines who have lost their own homes. kenneth and diane. >> it's so difficult to look at some of those images of entire communities up in flames. >> they've had a really tough week, tough weeks and months to come as well. the best way to get a sense of these wildfires is from above. >> let's at a a look at that perspective now from a helicopter pilot at kabc, our station in los angeles. these images are incredible. >> reporter: we're at the heel of the fire, nestled between the communities of fillmore and santa paula. we're looking at a hillside up in the mountains just above those communities that is on fire right thou. a very large section. communities down here are extremely worried about the winds. the winds are really starting to pick up at this hour, gusting to about 25 to 35 miles an hour hoping that it won't get much stronger than that. firefighters are worried about

the embers that will embed themselves in this smoking, go downrange in those communities, possibly setting off more spot fires. that's what they're scared of right here. right now we're keeping a close eye on it as the winds pick up in the ventura county area. those embers get embedded in the smoke and get carried and can be extremely dangerous. that's exactly what's happened with these fires. you'll see this big fire on a hillside and all of a sudden a hillside a mile or two away will start catching on fire, and the fire continues as it crowns from from mountaintop to another. >> you start looking at those images and you get an idea of how big they are and how much smoke is in the air now. that's a big concern. >> it really is. and you have to see it from that viewpoint to really get a sense of it. those winds are so forceful spreading smoke from the wildfires hundreds of miles north to the san francisco bay area, triggering spare the air warnings from now until sunday. >> so the question now is when will this wind let up. accuweather's melissa constanzer is joining us with answers on that.

melissa, good morning. >> we are continuing with these red flag warnings along southern california. now they're lasting through sunday evening. so while we see these winds weaken just slightly for your friday, we're talking about wind gusts in some of the valleys around 20 to 40 miles per hour and the mountains closer to 50 miles per hour. that means the fire danger remains high and we keep low relative humidity through the weekend. that fire danger will stay in place through sunday fight. kenneth, diane. >> thank you, melissa. now the big headline from washington. congress has averted a government shutdown, at least for the next two weeks. the house and senate approved a temporary funding bill to keep federal agencies running through december 22nd. the reprieve came on the same day president trump met with congressional leaders from both parties to discuss a longer-term budget. both sides called the meeting productive. but immigration remains a main sticking point. the democrats want protection for the d.r.e.a.m.ers attached

to new legislation while the republicans want to deal with the issue separately. congressman trent franks says he will leave office next month amid allegations of sexual harassment. he announced his resignation admitting that while he and his wife struggled with infertility he discussed child surrogacy with two female staff members. franks said if in a statement he never physically intimidated any staff member or attempted to have any sexual contact with them, but regrets that he discussed surrogacy in the workplace and caused distress. franken's resignation comes after eight women accused him of sexual misconduct. still he remained defiant explaining he remembers incidents differently. abc's mary bruce asked republican senator cassidy if there's a double standard at work. >> no. franken didn't have to resign. there's clearly no due process. but when you have everybody coming after you, that's what he chose to do. but that's really up to franken and up to moore, not up to the

party. >> minnesota governor mark dayton is expected to name his lieutenant governor, tina smith, to fill the seat until an election next year. the white house is dismissing criticism about his health after he slurred a speech during an announcement about jerusalem. sarah sanders said that his throat was dry and nothing more. he will undergo a physical early next year and the results will be released. any athletics out there still struggling to remember the updated responses in mass may have a new one to add to the list. >> so the pope want the roman catholic church to alter the wording of "the lord's prayer," also commonly referred to as "our father." the issue is the line that reads, lead us not into temptation. the pontiff wants it to read let us not fall into temptation. >> the current wording suggests god can lead people into sin.

>> i have trouble remembering and also with your spirit. and also with you. and i look around and realize i'm saying something completely different than everybody else. >> well, the lord's prayer, i go over this with my goddaughters every night when i'm putting them to bed if i'm keeping them and is watching them. that line, i would have trouble -- they would have trouble with remembering the new line. >> they're young. they can figure this out quickly. it's we old people would have been programmed for, you know, 30 some odd years to say it with one way. it's difficult to reprogram that. and i will continue to embarrass myself every time i go to church. all right, well, we'll have more on that. coming up, what would danny tanner do? there's a new debate now about the future of the home used in "full house." but first, the murder mist theory. a young woman's body found after meeting someone on a popular app.
