10,000 acres and sent tens of thousands of people scrambling from their homes. right now at least eight fires are burning in the area. that's including the palisades and eaton fires that killed at least 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. the threat of strong winds that fuel these fires is not over and while there is finally rain in the forecast, that brings another concern: mudslides. cbs's jonathan vigliotti leads us off tonight from the fire zone. >> reporter: in fire-weary southern california, another wildfire broke out in ventura county, 50 miles northwest of downtown l.a., near farms and a college campus. while another scare last night. fire racing up a hillside near the exclusive community of bel air, threatening homes before crews gained the upper hand. the bigger concern, this fire near castaic, still burning through dry brush. residents already on edge from weeks of warnings had to scramble to safety. idania perez was among the 30,000 newest evacuees. >> my brother just lost his home over in the altadena fire, and now i'm like oh, my god, now it's my turn. >> reporter: while residents here got prompt evacuation

warnings, for thousands in altadena, early on the morning of january 8th, at the height of the devastating eaton fire... >> i didn't get any alerts. i woke up on pure vibes. >> reporter: florence kerns-wilson is among many demanding answers. so there was no official warning issued? it was just go, go, go for you at 4:00 a.m.? >> yeah, and it was very just neighbors taking care of each other. because no one else would tell us what to do. >> reporter: all 17 who died in the fire were residents of west altadena, where evacuation warnings came too late or not at all. >> there were a lot of other people that were not safe. and they could have been. >> reporter: a lot of frustration, and now tonight a new fear, residents are bracing for rain and the threat of mudslides. that threat, though, is this

weekend. norah, the current threat is all of this high wind. red flag warnings remain in effect through tonight. >> norah: jonathan vigliotti thank you for your reporting. let's get the forecast now from cbs's lonnie quinn. and, lonnie, is there any relief in sight for the firefighters? >> you know, norah, yesterday when i was watching the spires spread, it was really because those winds had kicked in. also the drought had gotten worse, but look at the winds. we are seeing wind gusts 60-70 miles per hour. as you go through the overnight hours, those winds are still with us and the concern is still there about the fire spreading. i will say this much: tomorrow morning they back down a little bit but you still season 40-50 mile-per-hour gusts. as you get to the afternoon they all of those winds should dissipate, maybe 5-10 mile-per-hour winds, so that is a big to look forward to in the wind category. as far as the drought, i told you it actually got worse. look at what this that i stumbled across, the drought monitor from december, 30 days ago, so the severe extreme doubt was in and around las vegas.

it wasn't even into the los angeles area, and yet, here we are, 30 days later, this was just issue today, and a big bright red color is right over san diego and los angeles. they need some water. it is extreme drought. it has gotten worse because even though they have all that water last year the drought monitor and the table has been going down and down and down. and we need some rain. will we get it? look at this. this is not a great forecast. there is some rain, possibly nine-tenths around altadena maybe five-tenths of an inch around los angeles. we need more than that, it will help but also bring about mudslides because that earth has gotten no vegetation to hold the soil in place. norah? >> norah: that is the big concern. lonnie quinn, thank you so much. we want to turn now to the potential impact of the new trump presidency on your wallet. trump and his advisors are working on their plans to slap double-digit tariffs on foreign goods, making them more expensive and less attractive to american consumers. trump argues this will boost manufacturing in the u.s. and balance trade with countries like china. but others warn that retaliatory tariffs on american goods will lower demand for products made

in the u.s. and then hurt american workers. we get more now from cbs's weijia jiang at the white ouse. >> reporter: tonight, a warning to world leaders from president trump. >> come make your product in america. but if you don't make yur product in america, which is your prerogative, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff. >> reporter: the president made the threat during virtual remarks to the world economic forum in davos, switzerland. it did not sit well with everyone in the audience including the head of the world trade organization. >> if we have tit-for-tat retaliation, whether it is 25% tariffs, 60%, and we go to where we were in the 1930s, we are going to see double-digit global gdp losses. double-digit. that's catastrophic. >> reporter: trump also addressed the war in ukraine saying his efforts to end the conflict are underway, and moscow must make a move. >> well, you are going to have to ask russia. ukraine is ready to make a deal. >> reporter: we asked the president about that comment later in the oval office.

you said that ukraine is ready to make a deal. did president zelenskyy tell you that personally? >> he is ready to negotiate a deal. he'd like to stop. he's -- he's somebody that lost a lot of soldiers. and so did russia. >> reporter: here at home, a blow to one of trump's executive orders to end birthright citizenship. a federal judge in washington state called it blatantly unconstitutional, temporarily blocking the order for two weeks as several states challenge it in court. >> obviously we'll appeal it. they put it before a certain judge. in seattle, i guess, right? and there is no surprises with that judge. >> norah: and weijia jiang now joins us from the white house. weijia, i do want to ask you about that executive order from the president today declassifying the files on the assassinations of john f. kennedy, robert f. kennedy,

and martin luther king. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: that's right, norah. tonight, president trump says this executive order will provide americans the truth after six decades of secrecy. the official conclusion is all three killings were carried out by lone gunmen have long been challenged by a slew of conspiracy theories. top administration officials will now present a plan within 15 days to release the records for jfk and 45 days for the other two cases. norah? >> norah: all right, we will be watching. weijia jiang, thank you. and a programming note, this sunday, vice president j.d. vance sits down with margaret brennan for his first interview since taking office. that is this weekend on "face the nation." tonight, two sources tell cbs news that pete hegseth president trump's embattled pick for defense secretary, paid $50,000 to the woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017. hegseth denies any wrongdoing. the former fox news host is headed for a final vote in the senate as early as tomorrow. he passed a procedural vote today, 51-49. there were two republican

not fair. the district says it has several security measures in place including cameras and an ai weapons detection system. what is your answer to parents who are asking, what do we then tell our kids when they ask us am i safe to go back to school? >> sure. we wanted to have a system that worked on multiple cameras throughout the network. it does work, but it's not going to work in every instance, in every spot. we have sros, we have safety and security drills and plans so it all works together as a system, but one system alone is not going to keep people safe. >> reporter: some parents say the district failed. >> i know i try to protect my kids at all costs, so if i'm giving y'all the right and authority to have my child, and you didn't protect him or her i'm not satisfied at all. it was, like, a parent's worst nightmare. or just a worst nightmare

period. >> reporter: sources telling cbs news tonight that this shooter and a girl accused in a different school shooting followed each other on social media. in fact, several x users flagged the antioch shooter's profile to the fbi after he posted an encouraging comment on something she posted. norah? >> norah: nicole valdes, thank you. as president trump tells the world make products in america or pay up, will you be the one footing the bill? that's next. ♪ ♪ footing the bill? that's next. ♪ ♪ mr. clean magic eraser... wow - where has this been my entire life? having to clean with multiple products is a hassle.

and even cars assembled here in the u.s. may see an increase. according to maoli, more than half of parts like batteries and motor components are sourced elsewhere and could get slapped with a tariff, especially with the president also proposing a 10% tariff on china. >> i think the manufacturer has no choice but to pass that along to the consumers because they need to derive profits. >> reporter: how quickly does that get passed on to the consumer? >> anything not been shipped yet or is at the dock that is getting shipped into these ports is ultimately going into a vehicle to be manufactured, it is immediate. >> reporter: but that's not all. repair parts and costs could go up, too. how is this going to impact parts coming from a place like china? >> these brake pads come from china, some of them come from mexico. these brake pads could go up as much as 20%, which ultimate impact the cost to the consumer when they did that. >> reporter: so even if i'm someone that says i'm not going to go buy a new car, i'm going to stay with my current car, i'm going to have to pay 20%, 25% more? >> sure, because if you are not

buying, you are fixing. you've got to keep the car on the road. you can't stop transportation you have to get your family to work and to school. >> reporter: now tariffs could incentivize manufacturers to bring jobs to the u.s., but that's not something car companies can do overnight taking as much as 18 to 24 months. most in the auto industry though, are hoping these threats are just a negotiating tactic. norah? >> norah: we will see. kelly o'grady, thank you so much. nominations for the academy awards are in. which movies made the cut? that's next. much. nominations for the academy awards are in. which movies made the cut? that is next. to make more space. or linen robes under 75 to get you cozy. for affordable pieces to help you welcome big changes, etsy has it. a mystery! jessie loves playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so, we switched to tide free & gentle. it cleans better, and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. tide free and gentle liquid is epa safer choice certified. it's gotta be tide.
