updates in l.a. county. he's there in the newsroom with the very latest. greg. >> mike, seven days into this massive firefight and the winds continue to be the persistent driver. firefighters have said the next 24 hours will be crucial in protecting their progress, as gusts pick up and conditions become ripe for fire growth. one week after the deadly palisades fire began, all that remains in some neighborhoods are chimneys and charred rubble. the blaze in pacific palisades and malibu set off a historic firestorm that left a path of destruction across los angeles county. now, weary residents who've lost everything and exhausted first responders brace for more extreme conditions. >> life threatening and destructive and widespread winds are already here for this significant wind event. we are taking an aggressive, lean forward posture. >> we plan to keep the fire small, but we prepare for any other event that happens. we're also staying vigilant and having resources available and identified to respond to any kind of new starts in the in the area. >> a fresh round of santa ana

winds, prompting the national weather service to issue a rare, particularly dangerous situation. fire warning for areas in la and ventura counties. gusty winds paired with low humidity and dry fuel threaten to fan new flames or undo progress made on the palisades and the eaton fire in altadena. >> we are giving this fire everything we've got. this is a particularly dangerous situation from now through tomorrow. >> engines are staging in high risk areas. power has been preemptively shut off to more than 58,000 edison customers, and officials are urging people to be ready to go at a moment's notice. 88,000 people remain under evacuation orders. another 84,000 under warnings. >> actually, we recommend you go. don't wait till the order is given. we don't want you to impact your own life or the life of your loved ones. >> law enforcement and members of the national guard continue to watch over abandoned neighborhoods. new arrests have been made for looting and other offenses. they're also tasked with the grim work of looking

into 37 missing persons reports across both fires. >> we also have been working with teams that are coming in to work on the palisades to begin searching for remains as well, so this operation continues. it's active, not easy work. >> while the firefight continues, l.a. mayor karen bass joined the governor in cutting red tape to expedite debris removal and the rebuilding process for victims. this is fema remains on the ground processing tens of thousands of disaster applications. >> we also want to move into the time when we prepare for moving forward and rebuilding, but making sure that we can get people's lives back in whole. >> altadena as a community. and it's the people that made it, and we really hope they rebuild. >> in addition to the threat of fanning flames, the winds could exacerbate hazardous air conditions. the county department of public health there in la, urging people to take steps like wearing masks when outside to protect themselves from ash and other

particles in the air. in the newsroom tonight, greg lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> hoping for a safe night of firefighting down south tonight. all right, greg, thank you. president biden has said the federal government will cover the majority of the recovery costs for 180 days. but he adds, congress needs to, quote, step up and fund assistance beyond the first six months. it turns out california's recovery may face political challenges on capitol hill, as many republicans, including house speaker mike johnson, say any federal aid should come with conditions. democrats say that proposal is outrageous. >> we should not be leveraging the pain and suffering of our fellow americans to try to force through policy changes. no one wants to leave any american who is in need. hanging, so to speak. right? but at the same time, we recognize we have a $36 trillion federal debt, and we have to balance these needs. >> republicans say they want conditions related to fire management and prevention. fema says it has enough money to respond to the wildfires and other disasters in the near

future. after congress did approve $100 billion in emergency aid just last month. well, the big change coming to fire protection in the southern part of santa clara county. the county board of supervisors voted to end a contract with cal fire, and instead put fire service under direct control of the county. ktvu mark sayer is live tonight in san jose with a closer look at what this will mean for residents. this is a big move here, mark. >> a big move, mike. but county leaders emphasize this has nothing to do with the quality of cal fire firefighters. nothing but praise for the firefighters. but they say that state budget issues at the state level have resulted in a lower level of service than the county itself believes it can provide. southern santa clara county is prone to wildfires, with wide expanses of open land. currently, residents outside of the main cities of gilroy and morgan hill belong to what is called the south santa clara county fire district, seen on this map in green, which contracts with cal fire for service. >> the significance is that they

don't have to worry whether cal fire is going to have enough money to help them out when there's a fire, or when there is some kind of an emergency. >> on tuesday, the board of supervisors unanimously voted to terminate that fire district, which has been in place since 1980, and merge it with the rest of the county's fire service. >> please, let's be logical and respectful of a system that's already working. please. and i urge that you vote no on this issue. >> according to the cal fire firefighters union, over 30 cal fire employees could lose their jobs as a result of the move. >> i'm absolutely opposed to the idea that 40, 30 plus firefighters who have served our community with courage, distinction and distinction could be replaced by an annexation idea that is confusing, dangerous, expensive and reduces community protection. >> supervisors say the south county fire district has been losing money, and the county has already been directly supplementing the cal fire contract. >> what is at stake here is the

viability. can they continue to provide the services that they they committed to? and what we have seen is that no county leaders also see it as an equity issue, saying they want all county residents to receive the same level of emergency response. >> cal fire continues to be a critical partner, not only in the south county, but across our region, both through direct services and mutual aid and seeing what's going on in los angeles. the amount of work that the cal fire has done is nothing less than monumental. >> now, still unanswered at today's meeting is exactly what the procedure would be, potentially for those cal fire employees to join the county fire department, the county executive told supervisors today. it is a complex, multi-tiered process, and he did promise a report to the supervisors about the specific process for those cal fire firefighters to potentially join county fire when this change takes place. mike. that's the story from here in san jose. back to you. >> all right. mark sayer live there in the south bay. mark. thank you. san francisco fire investigators say they know what

may have sparked a fire inside an apartment. this fire started up early this morning on the top floor of the essex hotel on ellis and larkin in the tenderloin. firefighters say the fire may have stemmed from an electric scooter plugged in overnight. >> the initial report from the resident of unit 601 that he was plugging his scooter in, and it overheated and started a fire in his unit. it looks to be all the damage is in the one room. they're going to open up the walls to make sure there's no extension of fire into the wall system. >> no injuries were reported, and while some neighbors left the building, most sheltered in place until firefighters put that fire out. oakland police now investigating a deadly shooting from this morning. it happened just before 9:00 on east 12th street, right near sam jin general supply store. police say they responded to several shotspotter activations, and when they arrived on scene, they did find one person who had been shot. the victim was taken to the hospital but did not survive. officers say they have detained one person, but they are still investigating what led

up to those shots being fired. a bay area woman's lawsuit against sean diddy combs may be in jeopardy after her legal team missed a key deadline. ktvu crime reporter henry lee live tonight here in studio with more on the story. henry. >> well, here's the challenge, mike. the defendant, p diddy, is behind bars, and that has made it difficult for the woman's attorneys to properly serve him with a copy of the lawsuit, a sex abuse lawsuit against sean diddy combs alleging an assault in orinda could now be thrown out. that's because ashley parham, the woman suing combs, has not served him within the required 90 days, her attorney, ariel mitchell, says complicating matters is the fact that combs is in a federal jail in new york in a sex trafficking case. >> because mr. combs is incarcerated, he is not the easiest person to serve, even though it may seem as such. but he is not. >> the attorney says she's made several attempts to serve combs, who has the right to refuse service. a federal judge has given the plaintiff one more month to try to serve combs. if they miss that deadline, they could potentially refile the lawsuit. we're naming the

accuser because she's publicly identified in the lawsuit. her attorney says it's not that simple to just hire a process server and send them to jail with lawsuits. >> so you have a process server who can be anybody who has a license to process serve. but those are for people on the outside. when you have people on the inside, it's a different process, henry bradford, a bay area process server, told ktvu. >> serving someone in jail or prison is the, quote, easiest serve, and that he routinely handles paperwork over to alameda county sheriff's deputies at santa rita jail. but mitchell says new york is not california. in her lawsuit, the woman says combs and his entourage violently gang raped her in orinda back in 2018. she says the attack happened at an apartment on loma vista drive that was rented by an acquaintance of combs. in a statement to ktvu in october, the contra costa county sheriff's office said a report was taken on march 23rd, 2018. we take these cases seriously, and detectives thoroughly investigated the accusations. it was later determined the claims were unfounded. the woman's attorney says she's also

gathering more facts in the case, which could lead her to amend the lawsuit. the accuser is asking for $50 million. >> mike henry lee live tonight. here in studio. henry. thank you. coming up next here at 6:00 tonight, first lady jill biden in san francisco. her message to thousands in the health care industry also meta about to lay off thousands of employees. why mark zuckerberg is targeting the lowest performers to start the new year. >> and we are tracking the weather. we've got some clouds to talk about. a little bit of a cooldown coming as well. the details and where's the rain coming up. >> and just a quick check of that tuesday evening commute. here's a live look at the lower east shore, interstate 80 in emeryville and berkeley. bumper to bumper, especially in that eastbound direction. you're watching ktvu news at

that's because women's health is understudied and research is underfunded. >> the first lady pointed to recent federal investments of about $1 billion into researching women's health issues. she said more research is needed in many areas, from how heart disease impacts women differently to gaining a deeper understanding of menopause. the first lady said now is the time for private investors to take a cue from the government's work and fund private research that could improve women's health and prove lucrative as well. >> there's such a great market for all of this because women want answers, and as soon as we can get those answers and those treatments that will create this whole stream of revenue. >> women attending the fierce health care conference agreed. it's important for more research to be conducted into women's health issues, and said the area has been neglected and underfunded for too long. >> well, i think it's very important that we focus on women's health because women are the backbone of our community

with raising children, building families. so it's important that there are initiatives to help women take care of their health care and produce positive health outcomes. >> the first lady said while she has less than a week left as first lady, she plans to continue her push for more research into women's health and using her platform even after she leaves the white house. in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> the long delayed sale of the oakland coliseum one step closer to being finalized. the alameda county board of supervisors, today in a closed session, approved the terms of the agreement for the sale of the county's 50% interest in the coliseum complex. now, this follows the a's and the city of oakland's agreement to sell their shares of the site to the african american sports and entertainment group. the sale is expected to close by the end of june, and generate an estimated $125 million for the city of oakland, as it faces a $129 million budget deficit. the new

the skull and roses poster. and he was in the picture himself, and he spotted himself somewhere in the 60s, walking towards a grateful dead concert. >> michael zagaris, a well-known photojournalist, is seen in this photo with muhammad ali on the steps of san francisco city hall. >> halfway through the speech, ali turned to him and asked, do you have your draft card? ali promptly grabbed it, lit it on fire, and held it up to the to the crowd. michael still has what's left of it. it's a great story, and we're hoping that we're going to find a photographer that either was shooting in the direction of our unknown photographer and help us to identify them. >> but as of now, the best clue we have of who this photographer might be is this reflection caught there in the center of this plate glass window, you can make out a silhouette and the silhouette looks looks feminine to me. >> it looks like a person with fine features. there are some bracelets. it looks like a loose fitting garment. but that's all

we have. >> it's a journey that has taken years. but in order for all of these to be shown in a collection to the public, ownership needs to be established. and so the identity and the story of this photographer can no longer stay in the shadows. >> my goal is really to try and keep it out of the basement of an institutional collector and share it with the world. >> delzell wants to create access for the public and for schools across the nation, but he needs help. a kickstarter would pay to have the 75 remaining rolls of color film processed at a special lab in canada, and contributors would get a tool kit so they could also help scour these images for clues. they posted this video to kickstarter saying while they may not have a name, lessons can be learned about this photographer through these images caught by their camera. >> this photographer was courageous. they were up close at some very violent protests, some dangerous events, and they

were not only brave, but they they were up close. it really does represent that, that that era in a way that i've never seen before. so we get to see it all through the lens of one photographer, which makes it sort of unique. >> if they were 20 when these pictures were taken, the photographer could today be approaching 80. delzell says he'd like to thank them for truly incredible work. he just needs to find them first. claudine wong, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. when i come back, we're going to take a look at the forecast. that does include temperatures that are on the mild side and includes maybe no rain. i'll see you back here. >> all right. now to alex savidge and a look at some of the stories we're working on for west coast rap. coming up at the top of the hour. alex. mike. >> thank you. coming up tonight at seven, the latest on the dangerous winds once again hitting southern california. and the new fires that crews jumped on today hoping to avoid another disaster. we'll also show you how a group of friends is making

can be used to accurately predict the risk of suffering a stroke, hong kong researchers say. changes to blood vessels in the retina, the light sensitive area in the back of the eye, are a crucial marker of overall brain and heart health, they said. the retina scans by an optician were found to be just as accurate as looking at traditional risk factors, such as high blood pressure and

cholesterol. new at 630, longtime bay area resident and former oakland a's manager tony la russa is launching a new nonprofit dedicated to companion animal welfare. the la russa family will be making a public introduction next week of la russa rescue champions. they say it will support animal rescue organizations by raising and distributing money to help them carry out their life saving work. the launch benefit is scheduled for january 25th at the lesher center for the arts in walnut creek. >> you know what, mike? you talk about a guy who walks the walk. >> oh, yeah. >> tony la russa? yeah. for sure. he leaned into that deal early on and then stuck with it. >> and a world champion. >> yeah. okay. so we go outside. we got temperatures today that were kind of mild for this time of year. we should be in the 50s. it's almost. well, it's january. working our way into february now. and temperatures not in the 50s but in the 60s. overnight lows last night did get cold though. last night's lows did feel january esque. no fog at the coast. i was

surprised that we had a little fog show up. coastal fog, but we will see fog return to the coast on thursday night. friday a little bit into saturday when temperatures cool down a little bit. but our changes or our weather is just going to be this subtle kind of thing like last week. so there's no big changes in terms of anything other than maybe some clouds coming in here on the weekend and cool us off a little bit. and down in southern california, of course, that's the big concern tonight. the next 24 hours pretty, pretty crucial overnight tonight into tomorrow afternoon. the strongest winds for southern california. and that you know they get through that. then the winds are going to kind of lay down as we go into thursday, friday and saturday. so it'll be a chance to kind of grab their breath. i hope it all works out down there. we'll keep an eye on it tonight at ten. we'll update you. this is 9:00 tomorrow morning. this is tomorrow night. i'm showing you the fog now. see how the fog is trying to come in. so here's thursday morning. coastal fog kind of creeps back in, and then now it's all the

way in. thursday evening, there's a weather system out here that's creating a push and then push and it pushes in. so is that rain? no, it's clouds and some fog. maybe some valley fog, maybe some coastal fog mixed in. but friday is your day where you'll notice temperatures in the 50s for the most part in this big ridge of high pressure. look at that thing. it's massive, thousands of miles wide. it's a broad ridge and they're hard to break down. broad, meaning it extends from here out into the plains. right. so it's hard to it's hard to undercut that. it's hard to break it down. if it keeps amplifying, you can cut it this low could cut underneath it and it might still if it keeps amplifying. but just a broad ridge, they're really hard to move. and that's what we're seeing. it's this big ridge of high pressure stays put right through the weekend for the most part. and some of the models are suggesting no real activity, no rain or anything until the 26th of january. i just quickly showed you the overnight lows from last night. these are the forecast overnight lows tonight. so warmer tonight, but still you'll get frost. still chilly.

the forecast highs like today. and then the five day forecast looks like this. pop the weekend in. there you go mike. >> all right bill thank you. coming up president elect donald trump still has his sights set on greenland. but what do government officials and residents there think of this idea? their reaction (husband) we just want to have enough money for retirement.

rocket tomorrow. a little red cottage will hitch a ride on a lunar lander that is set to take off from kennedy space center. the piece is one of a series created by swedish artist mikael genberg. he has a reputation for putting little cottages in unusual locations, including up a tree and floating out there on a lake. if the launch goes as planned, the rover will land on the moon in just about four months from now. president elect donald trump caused a stir recently when he said he would not rule out the use of force to take over greenland. the resource rich territory could be strategically vital to the united states. fox's alex hogan is in greenland with more on what locals think about the idea. >> greenland's location in the atlantic makes it strategic. defensively. it's home to the northernmost u.s. military base,

and melting ice means new potential shipping lanes opening up. the largest island in the world is also rich in minerals. president elect trump's interest in greenland is a hot topic on the island, as the world is now. >> we have to be protected by us more, and the trump administration and us is the best to surveillance and do it for greenland. >> this time last week, donald trump jr made a private visit to the danish territory. that's when the president elect said he wouldn't rule out taking the island by force. >> we need greenland for national security purposes. i've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran. i mean, people have been talking about it for a long time. >> some greenlanders are scoffing at that statement. >> the united states used to be a place that was sort of admired here, and basically all the goodwill that they used to have is almost gone now. >> greenland has been self-ruling since 1979, although denmark still controls its foreign and security policies. the island's prime minister

moved to eagle this week, reiterated calls for independence, saying greenlanders don't want to be american. still, he pointed to a closer partnership with washington. the prime minister also added that his government is looking to boost defense and mining ties with the u.s. in nuuk, greenland. alex hogan, fox news. >> and that is it for us here at 6:00. we're not done, though. west coast rap with alex savage and mark tamayo up here next on ktvu. and of course, do not forget you can stream the latest news and weather on your smart tv anytime. just download the fox local app to your tv. i'll se you back still congested? —nope! —uh oh. new mucinex 2-in-1 saline nasal spray. spray goodbye. aaaaaaahhhhh! new mucinex 2-in-1 saline nasal spray with a gentle mist and innovative power-jet. spray goodbye to congestion. it's comeback season!
