(light gentle music) right now at 5:30, southern california evacuees returning to see what's left as firefighters battle those flames threatening thousands of homes that are still standing. let's give you a live look now at the fires now that the sun has begun to set. the fires

continue to burn as we get that wide shot of the area, looking to see the choppers and aerial attack that continues to happen here in the l.a. area and we're keeping an eye on another briefing from l.a. county and city officials on the fires. we'll bring you any new information as we get it. the palisades fire is one of the most destructive fires in california history. this map shows the inferno reaching right up to the ocean stretching down from malibu to the coast, street after street wiped out. reporter tom wait spoke to residents coming to grips with the scope of that devastation. >> reporter: eerie, apocalyptic, unrecognizable, fire transformed the palisades where beachside idyllic neighborhoods once stood, now just endless smoldering ruins, people's homes and lives up ended, so much loss. >> you think of all the memories and hangouts with friends as a kid. it's absolutely devastating. i'm heartbroken. >> reporter: augie silk was

born and raised in the palisades, the home where he spent his whole life burned, along with countless others. >> looks like world war ii, world war iii, looked like an atomic bomb went off. it's absolutely devastating, unrecognizable. >> reporter: the scale of destruction is mind boggling and surreal. burned out cars along sunset are still here from tuesday night. people jumped out of fleeing for their lives. crews bulldozed the cars to the side to make room for emergency vehicles and everywhere the eye can see, utter devastation. >> objects are replaceable. i think it's important to take a moment and just be for a minute and just be still. >> reporter: some homes were somehow spared. dirk michaels lives near marquez elementary, one of the few homes in the entire neighborhood that did not burn. michael says he was overwhelmed with emotion when he returned to his street. >> i literally got on my knees

when i saw it. it was devastating. then i got around the corner and i said, "how is this possible? these five homes are standing. ours is in the middle." so i was happy on one hand but not really because of the devastation for our friends and neighbors. >> the house is okay. >> reporter: my aunt's house is on that same block. we were told it burned to the ground, but it was one of the few that somehow escaped the raging firestorm. firefighters even managed to stop the flames from spreading at the home next-door. >> only these five homes stand, surreal. if anybody would have told me that could happen, i would have said yeah, you know what? that's a nice science fiction, but it's never going to happen. then it happened. >> reporter: the scale of this disaster is still just coming into focus and it's going to take a very long time to process what's happened and then rebuild. >> i think you get with your family and you just kind of take a moment and just realize that we're going to get

through this. >> emergency officials in southern california pleading with residents not to ignore evacuation orders after several false alerts caused a bit of a panic. this alert was sent to residents across l.a. county yesterday. officials later confirmed that it was only meant for people in the warning zones for the kenneth fire. >> there is an extreme amount of frustration, anger, fear with regards to the erroneous messages that have been being sent out. we have every technical specialist working to resolve this issue and to find the root cause. i implore everyone to not disable the messages on your phone. meanwhile celebrity chef jose andres is joining the relief effort. his world central kitchen food relief team is now handing out free meals in pacific palisades to

fire victims and first responders. >> everybody needs support and love in these moments, wealthy or not, poor or not. it's the right thing to do. so you try to make sure nobody is left behind. >> andres founded the world central kitchen in 2010. his teams have helped people in haiti, gaza, puerto rico and ukraine among other places. let's give you a live look at the fires now that the sun has set. this is in the palisades area burning towards the san fernando valley, the flames burning up the hillside. we're told a home is on fire in that area, also a truck. as you can imagine, the sun is beginning to set. the cooler temperatures do set in, so it gives fire crews a chance to maybe build some containment lines along some of these fire ridges, but the fire continues to burn out of control, more than small little hotspots. we're talking about swaths of

areas continuing to burn. there's a building about to catch on fire now. we'll keep an eye on this fire. as they widen out, you can see the scope and magnitude of the fires burning in southern california. cbs is partnering with the red cross to raise money for those impacted by the southern california wildfires. you can go to redcross.org/cbs to donate, call 1-800 red cross or text red cross to 90999 to make a $10 donation. up next, we'll meet the head of a newly formed national bee platoon, how his skills will help crews battling the raging wildfires in southern california. >> any time we get a call out i and other colleagues will go directly to that swarm. plus why one county in the united kingdom is forcing parents to come to campus if their

humans and horses are not the only ones in distress. beehives are also in distress. the bee platoon are heading down south to help. patrick hardy will help keepers evacuate their bees and help first responders who encounter bee swarms. >> anytime we get a call out, i and other colleagues will go directly to that swarm, help to remove it so that firefighters can continue to do their work and get to the real human victims. >> hardy says he has responded to a fire in riverside county before, but this is the first time the bee platoon is working with state and local emergency officials. a live look at oakland now, we have an update on a spider monkey cared for at the oakland zoo. it was rescued from a traffic stop in the central valley last month. the zoo has officially picked a name for the young spider monkey, azulis, named after the natural preserve in mexico. veterinarians say she's now bright and active after they found her in critical condition, but she's still working through some muscle

loss and low levels of protein and calcium. coming up in sports, stanford men's basketball player currently leads the country in double-doubles, but it was actually a photo bombing kid fan that stole the show on the farm this week. the 49ers season did not go as planned. the

we've obviously been

focused on the situation in southern california, but there's been active weather across the entire country. a major winter storm much farther south than usual has been making its way through texas, oklahoma and now from tennessee into the carolinas. it is a wintery weather mess there. of course, we'll return to our neck of the woods and there are still more red flag warnings and air quality advisories in southern california and the map is shaded in a bit around the bay area because we have another wind advisory that goes into effect tonight. let's look at our map and talk more about that. the winds are not going to be nearly as strong as in southern california, but the wind advisory is in effect beginning at midnight tonight through 10:00 a.m. sunday for the higher elevations in the bay area, which are the least density populated parts of the bay area. where most of us live the winds will be gusty but not problematic in all likelihood. it's going to be an offshore wind. we have to keep an eye on the fire threat. vegetation still has enough moisture it's not overly concerning yet. eventually we would like to see

the rain chances returning. most peak wind gusts will be in the 25 to 35-mile-an-hour range for the communities in the bay area. in the valleys the gusts won't be as strong, a couple exceptions, a 40-mile-an-hour gust around livermore, 45-mile an hour for half moon bay and where the wind does extend to sea level, 50-mile-an-hour wind gusts for fairfield, especially late in the day saturday. we'll keep an eye on it heading through the next 48 hours. the wind will help disperse the fog that's trying to roll in and keep temperatures from dropping down too much through the rest of tonight. we'll all end up in the 40s by early tomorrow morning, not a lot of variation. the strongest winds pick up after midnight. fog will be a factor this evening and then disperse well before the sun comes up saturday morning. highs on saturday are still going to be above normal, topping out in the 60s across the board. 67 degrees the warm spot in san jose, 62 degrees the cool spots in a couple locations, pacifica and along

the coast in bodega bay, not a lot of variation in temperatures, another one of the warmer spots 67 degrees in healdsburg tomorrow afternoon, very similar high temperatures in the forecast sunday, but without the blustery conditions sunday afternoon. i mentioned we need some rain. we just don't have any in the forecast over the course of the next seven days. rain chances are essentially zero, not just for the seven-day forecast, but the two-week outlook which i'll show you at 6:00 is also looking very dry. some of the long range data indicates we might go through the rest of january without any significant rainfall moving into the bay area. that would be a very long stretch of dry weather for this time of year and even the fire threat around the bay area would become problematic the longer that stretch of dry weather continues. for now let's look at the seven-day forecast which remains very tranquil, abundant sunshine over the course of the next seven days with temperatures above average through most of that seven-day outlook, a little closer to average tuesday, wednesday, thursday

next week and one day close to near normal temperatures, in fact. by friday temperatures retreat to the 50 with more cloud cover, but the odds of squeezing any moisture out of the clouds remains essentially zero. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, we switch over to juliette goodrich. >> dry january for different reasons. at 6:00, intense flames raging as night falls in california. we have pictures of crews attacking the wildfires as they spread towards the san fernando valley and the national guard begins patrolling the streets of altadena, the efforts to protect damaged homes from looting with a curfew minutes away from taking effect. concerns about budget cuts for the oakland fire department only growing louder as people watch what's happening in los angeles, new calls for the city to reconsider closing fire stations. the news at 6:00 is coming up in ten minutes, but let's get to matt and sports. >> kpix sports is powered by

kia. learn more at kia.com. kia, movement that inspires. >> the nfl announced its first team all pro selections friday and a year after having five players make that list, fred warner, the lone selection in 2024 for the first team, george kittle and kyle juszczyk named second team all pros. it was a disappointing year overall for the 49ers, but if there was a silver lining from this season, it was the success of their rookies. >> a lot of people had to see the 49ers at our low this past year. that's not going to be a look term thing at all. >> the rookies will put it on themselves to improve from a 6-11 season. malik mustapha, dominick puni, and pearsall. puni played all but one snap. he gained praise from around

the league, but he held onto advice from training camp to stay grounded. >> too many pats on the back sets you back. so i put that in my notes. no matter how good people tell you you're doing, you got to stick to what's true. >> mustapha took over as a starting safety and became a guy opposing teams circled. >> my first down hitting kareem hunt. >> renardo green set the single-season pass record as a rookie. he admitted the lengthy season caught up to him. >> they say the season is look and i'm like it ain't that long. i've played football since i was 5 and you go through it and you be like we still got how many games left? >> isaac guerendo stepped up big starting three games, rushing over 400 yards and four scores. >> i'm sure there's people who didn't expect that from

me, but being able to show case that is a positive. >> ricky pearsall had the most impressive season, maybe not statistically, but for what he overcame after being shot in the chest. after this year he's happy to just focus on football. >> i'm just excited in this offseason, continue to build and actually have time to work on my craft, get more detail with the playbook stuff, knowing what to expect for next season. shout out to the big conference win over north carolina state last night, the first match-up between two ranked teams and berkeley since 2018. meanwhile stanford men's basketball player maxime raynaud leads the country in double-doubles this season. wednesday he had 19 points and 14 rebounds, but after the game it was the photo bombing dancing fan that stole the

show. >> hey, what's your name? >> i'm isaac. >> what do you think of the game today? >> it was great. you did awesome. >> i did awesome. what about the team, though? >> the team did very well. they played together very well. >> yeah. are you going to be a big supporter this year? >> yes. >> i love it. thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> i feel like i got to photo bomb you. i can't dance like him, though. >> come here, little boy. let's interview you. you know what? raynaud can ball and actually a pretty good interviewer as well. >> not too bad. thanks. a big uproar over potty training, why some parents in the united kingdom will have to come to school and do it themselves if their child needs a diaper change. >> no child is going to be left in discomfort. of course, they're not, but there needs to be a joint responsibility here. hey, it's jonny moseley. before you pack up your boards and load up your toyota, let's have a glance at conditions in the sierra. the toyota tahoe report is dialed. let's get

over to the map. >> mother nature not dialing up new snow over the past 24 hours or likely the next week or so. all the resorts have a good base with the active weather pattern we had to end 2024. most resorts are running a 3 to 5-foot base and on the low end at least a 2-foot basis of snow and temperatures are favorable over the weekend for them to add some manmade snow to freshen up the runs. we'll see temperatures at lake level topping out in the 30s. on top of the peaks it's going to be colder and blustery, highs in the 20s and wind chills in the teens. a lack of new snow means good travel conditions on u.s. touches of black. they say a lot without having to say much. they stand for elegance.

a big uproar in the uk over potty training, the county of wales now requiring parents to come to campus, change their own child's diapers, jeannie crouse on the reason behind the new rule. >> reporter: every parent knows the challenge of potty training their child before it's time to start school, but it doesn't always happen and some teachers in britain have a new rule. if your child needs a diaper change, you must come to

school and do it yourself, sparking a debate at the school gate. >> teachers have got a lot to do and you can't just leave work to come and change them. >> my daughter today actually wet herself in school and they were ringing us up. so it's a bit of a pain really. >> i see the other side of it as well. there's pros and cons to all of it. >> reporter: the mandate comes from a county council in wales where teachers say there's been an increase in school-aged children not being able to use the bathroom by themselves since covid hit. >> all over wales there are a number of schools really struggling with this because they have neither the money, nor the resources to keep supporting children in this way. >> reporter: teaching unions say some staff are having to deal with children as old as 8 who are still having accidents. >> no child is going to be left in discomfort. of course, they're not, but there needs to be a joint responsibility here and that's what we're supporting. >> reporter: and educators argue the most time they spend on diaper duty, the less time

closures. >> the difference between a fire really spreading and potentially destroying hillsides versus a fire being put out right away right down the street could be this firehouse being open and not being open. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening. the start of the weekend, it marks a critical chance to gain ground on the southern california wildfires before more extreme winds kick in. two of the most destructive fires in california history, the palisades and eaton fires, they are still burning tonight, putting more than 150,000 people under evacuation orders. so all five fires burning in southern california now encompass more than 55 square miles. you can see from this map just how widespread the affected areas are. more favorable winds helping firefighters get better access today to the rugged terrain where the fires are burning.
