excuse me, but this will be a test for both of them in this relationship boris. >> yeah. it will be interesting to see how these two bitter rivals interact on the tarmac. julia vargas jones from altadena, california. thank you so much. still to come this hour, the white house says deportations of undocumented migrants have begun and the government is now using military aircraft to deport them. but it won't be ice handling all the arrests. president trump is also given the green light for other agencies like the fbi and dea, to get involved. also ahead, the kremlin says that russian president vladimir putin is ready for talks with trump, but they're waiting for washington to make a move. and later, a panda party. today, after the national zoo just introduced these two fur balls to the country. you're watching cnn news central. we'll be right back kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres tomorrow at nine on cnn. >> aveen

so it is definitely by design, boris. there's no doubt about that. >> lauren tomlinson and karen finney are also with us. lauren, to you are new press secretary. karoline leavitt had some difficulty clarifying specific portions of what this action meant. the actual initial memo that was released, they had to put out a second version to clarify it further. was there a space for the administration to say, we're going to take a closer look at government spending and taxpayer dollars being spent on these programs without causing all of this confusion? >> i think they could have been clearer. the ambiguity of the first memo, i think, is what created a lot of this confusion here that they have thus tried to clean up, right by saying that not all federal spending assistance is going to be paused, that it's only going to be specific programs as it relates to the executive orders that he's released so far. you also saw, you know, pete hegseth as new defense secretary today, do what is very common, i think, in the department of def

>> boris, thank you guys for having me on. i wholeheartedly believe that he made the right decision. in many ways. the federal government now becomes the gold standard, if you will, for hiring practices. moving away from diversity, equity and inclusion to merit, excellence and intelligence or integrity. and the fact of the matter is, is that you can hold people accountable and be good employers without basing it on quotas. for instance, in my work at 1792, we promote and encourage people to utilize key performance indicators. that has nothing to do with your race or what you look like. it has everything to do with your merit and ability to get a job done, and i'm excited to see this in the federal government. look, we if we take a step back, what this in large part is about is making the federal government leaner. president trump came in talking about he wanted to make us safer, secure and more prosperous. having a diversity, equity and inclusion department doesn't secure our southern border. it doesn't make us safer. so this

boris. >> yeah, important to point out we're still waiting on specifics for his tariffs on china. we'll see when those come jeff zeleny live from the white house. thank you so much. we want to take you now to davos with cnn business editor at large richard quest. richard, thanks so much for being with us. something trump said that struck me was that he would directly urge saudi arabia and opec to lower oil prices. he said that he believed that that would lead to a peaceful conclusion to the war in ukraine. it's not quite that simple, though, is it, richard well, first of all, he can't direct opec. >> that's the most important thing. but secondly, it's much more complicated, as you rightly point out. so he wants opec to lower prices. and he said he wished they had done it before the election. he wants opec to lower prices. but if they lower prices then saudi arabia will get less oil revenue. and the price of oil currently is already causing saudi great pain. saudi has huge budget deficit, hug

but again, boris, this is ongoing. expect to hear more from kansas health officials moving forward. >> yeah, undoubtedly a situation to continue monitoring. i also wonder how these new changes from the trump administration regarding health communications might be impacting the situation there and in other places. >> exactly. that's something that experts are kind of questioning and discussing at the moment, because when we see outbreaks like this, we sometimes do expect to hear from federal health agencies. and we have not heard information from the federal level regarding the outbreak in kansas. again, health officials in kansas say that they are working with and following cdc guidance, but many experts are saying that when we see outbreaks like this, it's helpful to get that national voice, to get that perspective on what this means nationally. so that is a discussion, boris, that's happening among experts at the moment, kind of thinking, discussing and speculating. how does the current halt on communications, how is

on january 6th, boris. >> katelyn polantz outside the jail in the nation's capital. thank you so much, erica. >> well, our next guest refused to accept president trump's pardon for her actions on january 6th. >> he served two months. >> in federal prison after pleading guilty to trespassing, picketing and parading inside the capitol on that day. as i noted, you rejected this offer of a pardon from president trump. what's been the reaction to your decision? >> you mean. >> from the. >> from other people? >> just from other people, yeah. >> what have you heard? >> reaction. >> we. >> well, a lot of people have been telling me. to take the pardon. >> and then others are very happy that i'm not. but this this has to do with part of my amends. otherwise you're going along with the. they're trying to rewrite history. that january 6th was not an insurrection. and i don't want to be a part of that. it was. it was an insurrection. it was a riot. it would be a slap in the face to the capitol police and to the rule of law. no, i don't want any part of no pardon. and we're looki

that fire that you're looking at, it's what you saw last hour, boris. it's still smoldering. that was started by an ember. so that homeowner thought, hey, their house made it out. it it simply went up in flames. today. what we're seeing is firefighters who are exhausted, who have been working this line, you know, for for hours upon hours, they are still having to deal with active fire. so here in altadena, this fire is 10,000 acres, a little in between 10,000 to 11,000 acres. it is still burning out of control. 0% containment. the fire really has pushed into those hills over there. but they're also in this community once. and if they can get through to access their homes, they're dealing with, um. and i'm sorry, lionel, to make you do this, but you can see the sun over there. you see how hazy it is? the air quality here is horrendous. it is everything that that went up that you're seeing that is now just rubble. all of that. you know, a lot of older homes, asbestos, the chemicals, the plaster that is plastic that is burning unabated in this area. so it's also an air quality e

boris wrote a book and gave a copy to president trump and a friendship was born.mp for re-instating the bust of of winston churchill back in the white house. there was a lot of happiness here in great britain, let me tell you. ashley: yes, after obama took it out. i want to get back to prince william if we can, neil. there are questions here, he seems to be taking on more of a role. you see him everywhere now. you mentioned notre dame. does this in any way signal that king charles isn't in good shape or is that not the case? >> you know issue honestly, ashley, what you hear over here is as we know, we go into this year that the treatment is still going on with his majesty the king. look, let's be blunt, this is a man over his 75th now, you know. they have to decide where they want to go and who they want to see. you know, william is over 40 himself so we fertilizer that. we box him in these places and i think it's good that william has training while his father is here. a little bit like of course his majesty the king, who was so fortunate to have queen elizabeth

>> boris? we are hearing the first official reaction and somewhat of an explanation on this decision that we were talking about a few moments ago. let's read this together. i'm not sure there's clarity at the end of this, but we will talk about it. but the white house press secretary at karoline leavitt just a few moments ago, sending out this, that this is not a rescission of the federal funding freeze. it is simply a rescission of the omb memo. why? to end any confusion, she writes, created by the court's injunction, the president's executive orders on federal funding remain in full force and effect and will be rigorously implemented. so if that was not already a bit of a confusing 40 hours or so, i think this is only added to that. so clearly, the white house press secretary, in a defensive explanatory mode, they're saying that they are still going to commit to the president's executive orders, which that is what he signed last week, saying that he wants to approve any new spending and exist

boris. >> matt egan, thank you so much for that update. coming up, returning to northern gaza, tens of thousands of palestinians bracing for what awaits them months after being driven out by war. we're live on the ground with a live report from the region in just a few minutes. >> the lead with jake tapper today at 4:00 on cnn. >> and power. >> so handsome. >> i. >> think. >> oh. >> i can't buy this. what's wrong? >> hang on there. actually, you can. you're in power. investment account has performed well, and this whole off whitish cantaloupe thing is really working for you. >> so so so. >> oh. >> not. >> to trot. >> nobody says that. what? get good at money so you can be a little bad. and power. >> imagine checking your own heart with medical precision from anywhere. introducing kardiamobile xl. the fda cleared ekg that provides six times more heart data than any smartwatch, and it detects three of the most common arrhythmias in just 30s, including atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia. check your heart with the most advanced

>> yeah. >> boris. >> you know. >> elf is standing behind dei right now. because it thinks that it's good for business. you take a look at elf's customers and its employee base. this is a very diverse company. you know, about 75% of elf's employees are women, 40% are people of color. and the elf ceo, tarang amin, he told me that the dei efforts were helpful to elf for recruiting and hiring and talent retention, and to appeal to its younger and more diverse customer base. >> nathaniel, are they anticipating any potential backlash right. >> boris, there is a ton of pressure right now on companies and across america, around dei, you have president trump trying to crack down on it. you have activists like robby starbuck that have targeted companies really trying to get them to pull back. but amin told me that he thinks that some of this backlash is overblown, that there are more people who are committed to diversity and committed to inclusion, and that even some of the companies that are pulling back, like amazon and walmart, that some of these changes are a l

what do you see ahead, boris?en the growth of business, 30 million cruise tourists across the world expected to go to 40 million by 2027 and royal caribbean is the prime beneficiary to that. it has a massive surface at this point and cash flow only for nine months on hand. in many ways royal caribbean has better rates. it will help as much as good growth going forward. employment stays relatively steady, royal caribbean continues to be a great buy. they are very, very leveraged to the upside. >> let's pick a name from philly. five below, the discount chain shares dropped 50%, its worst year. surprising. maybe ahead of the tariffs? i don't know. boris, what do you do? >> you have got to believe in a come back story. five below is hated. everyone is really, really -- in the last quarter they had a 15% increase in revenues and they have new management coming on board. if they can stabilize and have economic growth there is the potential to go to 125 from 100 currently. it's a great company. they just simply need to r

>> well, it's really an open question, boris. as elena said there, secretary of defense hegseth will now have broad remit in determining how exactly to implement these policies. and he spoke a little bit to reporters earlier today when he arrived at the pentagon. but he really did not explain how he would go about implementing these policies, instead focusing on things like him saying that he wants to increase the lethality of our war fighters, and how he thinks about when he is determining policy and how he is thinking about leaving the military. the individuals and the service members at the different military bases across the country. here's a little bit of what he said. >> every moment that i'm here, i'm thinking about the guys and gals in guam, in germany, in fort benning and fort bragg, on missile defense sites and aircraft carriers. our job is lethality and readiness and warfighting. we're going to hold people accountable. i know the chairman agrees with that. >> notably there, he used the old names for the u.s. military b

of course, though, boris, disasters happen in red areas and blue areas alike.t's why fema has always been supported. so this is something the president cannot do unilaterally. congress would have to do away with fema. the bigger question in the short term, how will the relief come here? and more importantly, even and more urgently to california? the president lands there in a couple of hours. >> jeff zeleny jeff zeleny, thank you so much for the update from asheville. it does appear that president trump is making good meantime, on his vow of mass deportations, with federal officials announcing that they've made hundreds of arrests this week. the white house says that military aircraft are now being used to send people back to their countries of origin. sharing these images of dozens of migrants lined up and handcuffed as they're being led onto a military plane. meantime, the trump administration is directing several agencies to arrest people who are in the country illegally, including the fbi, dea, atf, u.s. marshals, and the federal bureau of prisons. >> all o

that's you, by the way, boris. that's you and me and everybody watching. and that's why we say tariffs push up prices and are inflationary. because somebody pays the tariff. yep. the tariff goes to the u.s. government. but ultimately the recouping of that in the cost. that's you boris. >> it is a fine coat i should point out though i'm not sure how much i would pay for it. richard quest live for us from davos. thank you so much, richard. erica. >> well, president trump's tariff threat is a headache for a number of countries, including chinese businesses that have tried to get around the existing u.s. tariffs by setting up shop in mexico. cnn's david culver takes us inside mexico's so-called industrial chinatown to see how they're now preparing. >> this is where. >> we assemble. >> everything. >> we're getting. >> a firsthand look at. >> what some are calling. >> an industrial chinatown. >> everything we make, we produce here is going to end up. in a major furnishing store in the u.s. >> we're in mexico. this is an hour outside. >> monterrey, mexico, about

>> well, i think there's a couple of things, boris. think one thing is it also made a little bit of history today because its star is the first openly trans person to receive an acting oscar nomination. so i think that there is a little bit of that. i think academy voters, they're sensitive to the times we live in. and let's be honest, the times we live in are certainly causing battle lines to be drawn. but i think also, too, is one of the things about emilia pÉrez is it's a very strong story with an extremely strong cast. as we saw what happened at the golden globes with multiple and as you mentioned, erica, with 13 nominations. now, a similar thing is happening here. so i will say this though, unlike, say, last year, where pretty much everybody knew oppenheimer was taking everything, this is a pretty much a wide open race. as we talked about on deadline. you do have emilia pÉrez, but you also have the brutalist, which also has done well in the awards season circuit. you also have wicked, which has done well in the awards season as we

but you're right, boris. i mean, people can be affected miles away from the obvious source of the fire. >> yeah, change those air filters. easy to ignore. now is not the time to forget doing that monthly change. sanjay, thank you so much. you got it. thank you. los angeles is facing catastrophe. neighborhoods going up in flames. you're seeing the pictures here. fast moving fires, shutting down, freeways, pushing firefighting crews to the breaking point. we'll have the latest next. >> all there is with anderson cooper. listen, wherever you get your podcasts. fired up, randi. >> yeah. >> that's how you make like it never even happened. happened? servpro. see you tomorrow when the temperature drops and winter settles in. you've got two choices. >> close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes. grab your gear and get out here. this winter. there's only one choice worth making. and there's only one vehicle lineup that embraces everything the cold has to offer. the official vehicles of winter jeep. >>

i'm boris sanchez in washington. and we are following breaking news. house speaker mike johnson will get to keep his job after clinching enough votes in a dramatic first round vote. johnson was originally on track to come up short of the votes needed to secure his gavel, and he could only afford to lose one republican vote. three voted against him, including congressman thomas massie of kentucky, as he previously had vowed. congressman ralph norman and keith self flipped at the last minute to help johnson get across the finish line with 218 votes. let's get straight to capitol hill and cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju. manu, take us through how all of this unfolded. >> yeah, it was a drama packed afternoon as it was uncertain for some time exactly how mike johnson would get over the finish line, given the opposition that he had and the narrowness of this republican majority. remember, he could only afford to lose one republican vote, given how tight things are in the united states house. he lost that one. thomas massie of kentucky severa

theresa may almost lost an election over the issue and boris johnson told us back in 2019 he had a cleareone, a politician, it'sjust going care and in the end, someone, a politician, it's just going to have to make a decision on all of this. particularly on the most contentious part of it, the funding. who is going to pay for it? in the end, those kind of decisions can really upset some people and politicians don't like doing that. tz�*icki upset some people and politicians don't like doing that. vicki young, thank yon — a seven—month—old baby boy has died after a car lost control on the a1 in lincolnshire and hit a tree. police are investigating whether the crash on the southbound carriageway near grantham late last night was linked to icy conditions. a woman also travelling in the car suffered serious injuries. more than a quarter of the 524 firefighters who attended the blaze at grenfell tower in 2017 are now suffering from long—term health problems including cancer and respiratory diseases, according to new research. the university of central lancaster said most ran out of air at som

right, boris? like that. that is what what it feels like here. and the 0% containment. that is scary. and also scary is we have 750 firefighters on this fire. we seen machines coming from different counties. we know that there are resources coming in from different parts of the country. arizona. i hear oregon, but right now it's just not enough. and firefighters are going from one hot spot to the next just trying to contain this fire. but they have to make tough choices. and, you know, maybe some of those choices are not going to be a single family home. it's going to be an apartment building. it's going to be a cluster of businesses. it's going to be somewhere that could cause much more damage than just one home. and so we're seeing people pleading and coming up to the sheriffs and to the firefighters that are roaming around these streets, pleading with them to get some help to take them to the house. but people are just these firefighters are so busy, they're working. 36, 48 hour shifts just to try and get through this. brianna. >> yeah, they're trying to save lives a

boris. oh, no. this is still me. my apologies. still to come here? just hours from now, the senate is set to vote on whether to confirm pete hegseth as the secretary of defense. we know two republicans have already said they will not vote for him. could there be more? plus, as infernos continue to break out in southern california, president trump is now threatening to withhold disaster aid unless the state does two things. an accused quadruple murderer, brian kohberger, in court for a second day trying to get crucial evidence tossed out, evidence that could tie him to the killings of four university of idaho students. those stories, and much more all ahead on cnn news central. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres tomorrow at 9:00 on cnn. >> it are you ready for this? are you ready for this? are you ready for this. >> new alka-seltzer plus cold or flu fizzy juice? shou chew fizz. feel better

>> well, boris and brianna, as far as the how. i mean, one of the areas that investigators will be looking at is were these aircraft at the right altitude? were they in the right position? we know the new york times is reporting a deviation of that black hawk helicopter, and that perhaps it was above the altitude. it should have been. and if that is the case, then that would indicate that the pilot of that black hawk was not flying with the flight. regulations at the time that were necessary. and so that is something that will certainly be a data point that will show up on the black boxes that they have yet to retrieve for that black hawk helicopter. that black box will have information like the altitude. we do know that the investigators have already retrieved the black boxes for the commercial passenger plane. they have opened it. they have started the process of reviewing it. and we believe that it will take a few months to get the full picture. but we do know that the ntsb is planning on releasing a preliminary report within t

these are the people who followed and surveilled boris nemtsov, the russian opposition leader, in theto his assassination in 2015. these are the people who poisoned me on two occasions, in 2015 and 2016 - ah, 2017. excuse me. so, yes, of course there were there were some physical aspects to it but the psychological was much, much more difficult. and this is what the regime and the kremlin has been doing since the soviet times. one thing they do, for example, is that the regime always makes a point of fighting and punishing notjust its own political opponents, but also the families. this is a very soviet, very old tradition going back almost a century. you know, for example, i was not allowed to telephone my wife. i was not allowed to telephone my kids. and this is the case with so many other political prisoners as well. and of course, according to united nations rules, solitary confinement for more than 15 days is officially considered to be a form of torture. i spent 11 straight months out of the two and a bit years that i was in prison in solitary confinement, at a maximum security

boris has some very strong words of advice for putin.ot our star panel joining us to give you their opinions on all the stories. tonight. we've got author and commentator louis oakley, political consultant suzanne evans, and journalist and broadcaster nina meshkov. oh, and how do you think the victims of the la. wildfires would feel if they saw this? >> couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is he got himself in the wrong place if i have to carry him out of a fire. >> we've got a big hour. all that and more. get ready, britain, here we go. is elon musk a risk to our democracy? first, here's your news with will hollis. >> thanks, alex. good evening. at 10:00, a labour mp is the first to break ranks and call for a national inquiry into the grooming scandal. dan carden, the mp for liverpool walton, urged sir keir starmer to use the full power of the state to deliver justice. speaking to the liverpool echo newspaper, he called it shocking that crimes may have been covered up to avoid confronting racial or cultural issues,

boris. it's a crowd. because it wasn't just two men released overnight. there's at least been one other person released from the d.c. jail who was awaiting resentencing. this woman in the pink hat. that's rachel powell, a mother from pennsylvania who was convicted and sentenced to several months in prison, more than a year for having an ice ax, trying to get inside a window of the capitol building and then using a large cardboard tube as a battering ram. then she's been held in this facility for some time because she was awaiting to be resentenced after the supreme court cut away some of her charges. but what's happening here now is she's talking to her supporters. january 6th riot supporters and supporters of donald trump and her family. they were here to receive her. she came out of the jail. they surrounded her with hugs. they had clothing for her, including that pink hat. now she wore a different pink hat during the capitol riot. when those images of her became quite a viral sensation, and she spoke about what it was like inside this jail, that there'

>> it's just destruction, boris. we're just getting a sense of how bad this fire really was. >> you know, we're in an urban urban center. >> it's an urban area. the fire came from that direction. >> that's where the angeles national forest is. that's eaton canyon that gives name to this fire. but this is just what we're seeing in street after street here in altadena. just complete destruction of entire neighborhoods, entire strips. and there is still that pattern of fire where you see some structures behind me that haven't really been affected. but it is today, a day where people are just coming to see what is it that happened to their homes to check on them. and it's a gamble, right? like about half of the people that are coming here are seeing that their homes are completely gone. and some people have been lucky. a lot of them, like one of the soundbites that you played earlier, people have been trying so hard to hold on to their property by dousing it with water, bringing buckets, opening their garden hoses to try

i'm boris sanchez with brianna keilar in washington, d.c., where we are waiting to hear from the white house and federal and local authorities as investigators try to piece together how an american airlines jet and a military blackhawk helicopter collided over the potomac river, killing 67 people. right now, we know the faa has indefinitely closed helicopter routes near reagan national airport. and as you can see on your screen in these live images, it remains an active site. we also have new videos that offer a different perspective of wednesday's crash, and we should warn you, they are difficult to watch. you can see the plane approaching the runway as the helicopter flies in from the left before the collision. both of them immediately crashing into the river below. >> and this video appears to be. surveillance from the airport. >> showing both. aircraft above the water. >> moments before impact. there's also new reporting. >> from. >> the new york times. >> that is putting. >> the. >> blackhawks movements right before the crash into sharper focus. all of this as recovery efforts con

>> well, boris and brianna, this was a blockbuster report. it painted the picture of a relentless jobs market that just continues to defy expectations. and for main street, this is good news because it shows that workers are very much in demand. so the numbers show that the economy added 256,000 jobs in december. >> now that is a seven month high. >> that's 100,000 more than expected. and that chart shows that, yes, hiring slowed dramatically in october, but that was really just a blip. >> and it was a blip caused by hurricanes and worker strikes. >> and the economy has bounced back. the jobs market ended the year with a bang. and for 2024, the u.s. added 2.2 million jobs. >> that is twice as much as economists had expected when the year started. >> you can see the unemployment rate remains low 4.1%. it unexpectedly went lower in december. and i know that when people think about the economy, they think about the cost of living. but this report also showed that paychecks went up at a faster pace than price. so yes, the big question is, of cour

the remington record books will show that exactly what he did and when boris the gun meets the highly critical standards of this man, he stamps it with his own pistol marks and the proof. is not the end yet all firearms that use high pressure ammunition are proof tested with loads far more powerful than the heaviest. they are designed for that a stamp to satisfy a rifles are also targeted before they leave factory. then firing to make sure the magazines and mechanisms of all multiple shot rifles and shotguns are imperfect. working on that includes 20 twos as well here. again, that necessary stamp of approval. i high speed photography provides an adjunct to function firing in a cutaway model 742 automatic a gun designer can actually see just how well the works work. and also a lot of ammo get shot up before it's turn to shoot. the last inspection. the ball is visual as the gun look right it must because that will be our customer. first inspection. people all over the world know the quality of remington workmanship and so many turn to remington for that gun of a lifetime or several for

well. >> boris. >> it depends. >> right? it depends on. >> how high the tariffs are. >> which products. >> if there are going. >> to be exemptions or carve. >> outs. >> how long the tariffs will. >> be in place. >> so there's a lot of. >> imponderables which. >> you know highlights one of the problems with tariffs. and that is it creates a lot of uncertainty for businesses and consumers. and you know it's a problem for economic growth. but but it's hard to answer that question because we just literally don't know. i mean we could we could play an experiment. let's say that the president follows through and imposes 25% tariffs on all goods, imported goods from canada and mexico, and 10% on all goods from china. no exemptions. no, you know, carve outs and keeps them in place for a year. then that would add 6 to 7 tenths of a percent to consumer price inflation. so just to make that concrete, instead of, say, inflation being 2% over the next year, it would be 2.6 or 2.7%. but that that's extreme. that's kind of an outside kind

during the presidential campaign , boris epstein ran a quick pro quote scheme. he pushed trump to nominate an exchange for payments adding up the hundreds of thousands of dollars. among the people that donald trump advisor boards spoke to according to numerous news reports. when the finance committee read about this game it was clear we needed more information. we sent the transition letters with a few key questions. again, no response. i asked about it in our one-on-one meeting. he confirmed that mr. epstein spoke with him about payments for public relations. a sleazy way for someone in the inner circle trump administration to pitch an obvious quid pro quo. a major donor following this issue quickly and actively because the story changed in response to a written question. his new answer was nobody ever asked him about payments in exchange for an appointment. there was an internal investigation and epstein's conduct, still will not reveal who else in trump's orbit he talks about it. my point in bringing up this issue, we have now heard three different ways. it h

>> boris fischman wrote a replacement life in which we have a young man who was born in russia and grew up in brighton beach in the large russian community in brooklyn and is trying to get out of there and divorce himself from the russian world. he moves to manhattan and is sort of sucked back into that world through a complicated plot around applying for holocaust restitution benefits. it's an example of the sort of being torn and trying to succeed in america which has its rules and ultimately formed by the russian experience. >> you have been a librarian for so many years. what do you make of this theme in the jewish community when we talk about writing and reflecting on experience for the reader of the push and pull between assimilation, becoming an american, retaining one's own culture and one's identity and yet living in the american world? >> i think that's the essential american dance for jews. when we have the opportunity to assimilate, it's a different sort of challenge than in other places where jews lived where the opportunity was largely closed off and there really wasn't th

nathan aspen in goal, boris krishna at the back, just massive. and then humphreys on top., . . behind. what is the team name? pdc all-stars. _ sale might have ended last year on a high after thrashing bristol bears, but in their first rugby premiership match of 2025, they were brought back down to earth with a big bump at gloucester, losing by 36 points to 20. the sharks were mounting a second—half comeback until a mistake allowed gloucester captain lewis ludlow to set up winger max llewellyn for this bonus point try. it was the welshman's second of the match, taking him top of the premiership scoring charts for this season. the win lifts gloucester up to fourth. sale drop to fifth. and leicester twice came from behind to beat exeter chiefs by 28 points to 15 at welford road. ben youngs' quick thinking saw him secure the bonus point try to move tigers up to third in the table... but saracens are on course to leapfrog them after scoring a bonus point try in this evening's game against bristol. a superb innings from rishabh pant brought india back into the fifth and final te

. >> boris, a resident of pacific palisades who had to evacuate her home, said that seeing her community surrounded by flames felt like being inside the movie war of the worlds. and she spoke to cnn earlier today. >> there were just vehicles on fire on the road burning. um, there's a church school at the bottom of the hill. um, some of my students go to it. it is. it was on fire. um, the grocery store, the i mean, it it actually, it was so surreal. i felt like we were in that movie, the war of the worlds. um, it i didn't recognize the streets that i were on as our own. my family is safe. um, my daughter, luckily just went back to college a few days before, um, we have our pets. um, everyone i've spoken to all of our friends, um, my clients, everyone is safe. um, i would say half of the people i know, um, i have about 200 students. i think about half of the people i know have lost their homes joining us now live on the phone is los angeles county supervisor lindsey horvath, and she represents pacific palisades. >> lindsey, thank you so much for being with us. just first, if you could get

. >> and so it begins, boris, this meeting is going to be the first of several with president trump and republican leaders in congress. of course, republicans control all the levers of the government here. but the question now, the challenge now is moving ahead to enact an agenda. exactly how that will be done. how many bills? one big, beautiful bill, as the president often talks about or separate bills as some members of congress, particularly on the senate side, would prefer? that, of course, is the open question. now, there's no doubt that this is the republican era. you know, the new day certainly has dawned here in washington. but the the majorities are so small, particularly in the house, far smaller than eight years ago. there was, if i recall, about a 17 seat house majority back in 2017. there is a one seat house majority now for republicans, however, it is much more of a trump aligned republican party. so basically, this is going to be the beginning of a discussion of how to work together and how to get the agenda accomplished, which is extending the the trump tax cuts. immigra

>> well, thank you for having me on, boris. well, we actually do. we have a lot of resources that have arrived. more than 7500 firefighters. but in addition, we have 2500 firefighters that we've requested from outside of the state. you know, this mutual aid agreement we have within california extends around us. so when needed, we can reach out to oregon, nevada, arizona and ask for help from them. >> and what is the biggest challenge that your crews are facing right now? as as there's this window of opportunity, the winds have somewhat died down. but this is crunch time, right? because we know that next week there's a chance of a resurgence of those winds. >> well, it is a mixed bag, right. because although the winds are dying down from the direction that they were prevalent before, they are now reversing direction. and now the areas that were calm are now going to be the head of the fire. and so our crews are having to be diligent about working on the entire perimeter in order to make sure that when the winds reverse, that they don't have another h

>> well, that is actually the fundamental question, boris. when you look at the kinds of issues that transition surgery, for example, would would bring about, there are certainly readiness concerns during the period when a person undergoes that surgery and probably in the immediate post-operative phase of that. so there are readiness concerns, but there are also readiness concerns, readiness impacts, one should say, with service members who are pregnant and who give birth. and we have learned in the military to work through all of those issues. and the same kind of thing could be done for transgender soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardians and marines. so that's the kind of thing that becomes. it depends on how they want to implement things. but if you have transgender service members, there's a physical component to their readiness. but the fact of the matter is, the military is more of a cerebral game nowadays than a physical game, especially in certain disciplines like the intelligence field, communications areas like that. so absolutely true
