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

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

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

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

>> 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

>> 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

why didn't they bring those cases and why didn't they charge co-conspirator scott terry, boris epsteinhould be addressed in the reports. >> okay. both reports have been written. they are there. now house folks filed for an injunction. they asked aileen cannon to basically say you can't release them and she said yes without even getting a response from the doj. if i'm not mistaken, some of the argument, i was just reading, some of them are really wild. like for instance, that immunity means that the report would create like opprobrium or public criticism of donald trump and that the presidential immunity decision means you can't have that, which just struck me as genuinely deranged. what do i know? why can she even have jurisdiction over the jan sixth part of this? >> she has none over jan sixth, which they made clear. when she issued it, she didn't know that they had very wisely separated them out. she probably shouldn't have jurisdiction even over mar-a- lago, because she's dismissed it. but rather than make a big stink about it, doj went straight to the 11th circuit and just said, gi

>> yeah, boris, this is very, very rare. so, judge mark carney order, which actually set out what the penalty would be an unconditional discharge is not common at all, especially in new york state courts, where i practice. that being said, in this particular case, he recognized that constitutionally, this criminal case could not go on. and truly, this sentencing was now or never. and so he laid that out in that order strategically so that this case could be brought to finality. with that laid out in the order, in addition to there being no penalty and a trump appearing via zoom as opposed to being into the courtroom, it really undermined any argument of the trump team that this needs to be put off or put on pause for any period of time, because it was not a burden to the transition. as the supreme court ultimately ruled. so this is a very unusual situation for a very unusual case. >> judge, i wonder what you made of judge merchan commenting on the novelty of the case, making clear it was the office of the presidency that pro

in the united kingdom with a man named boris johnson.n australia with a man named malcolm turnbull. these are all people who run right and govern left. why do they govern left? host: let me ask you this. what is a conservative to you? define it. caller: a conservative is somebody who believes in small government, effectively. if you were going to be a true conservative right now, you would expect the budget to shrink by roughly 25%. that would be conservative. i'm picking a number out of thin air. you can pick a number. 25 percent. host: so why doesn't chip roy, thomas massie -- why don't they fall into that category for you? caller: why doesn't who fall into that category for you? host: chip roy, thomas massie. they are saying they want changes. caller: i'm glad you brought that up. those 40 members -- it is so illustrative. those 40 members of the freedom caucus, although we have to be careful, because don't forget mick mulvaney was part of the freedom caucus until he became the budget director under trump. then, all of a sudden, he wa

out with boris after the even more infamous trip up to barnard castle., i happen to think that dominic cummings is probably the smartest person in british politics. i think he's right about every major problem and failing in the british state. and i think he's also right about all the ways that you need to fix it, which, incidentally, kind of the opposite of all of the things that this newish labour government are trying to do. and elon musk is clearly one of the smartest, most successful, impressive people in the in the world as well. so the two of them getting together, you would like to think would yield some amazing results. but as we know, they're quite volatile figures. will they be able to get along long enough to save western civilisation? >> let's find out. it strikes me as perhaps a meeting of two loose cannons. and i think when you get two loose cannons together, all you end up with is an explosion. and i agree with you with regard to cummings's genius in ideas. didn't quite manage to apply that to actual government. >> it was tricky, wasn't i

boris johnson 5%. rachel reeves 4%.eir starmer doesn't even feature. >> yes, i know. >> so is it one term, keir? >> so is it one term, keir? >> well, as i did express that my scepticism about it. but but over the whole term i don't think it's going to happen as quickly as that. and, you know, if it happens at all. but it is fascinating this there's not much comfort for anybody apart from farage, is there? i mean, some of these figures are pretty dreadful. yeah. >> keir starmer, is he doing well at his job? there's a net disapproval rating of —42. >> yeah, yeah. kemi badenoch a net figure of —21. yeah. not very clever, is it? not very clever at all. >> who would you like to go to the pub with? the public are asking. boris johnson tops that poll, shortly followed by nigel farage. again. badenoch hasn't connected with the public. she's down at the bottom of that poll. more people would rather go for a beer with keir starmer than kemi badenoch, which is not a great which is not a great endorsement of the tory leader. >> no,

boris has got some strong words of advice for putin and we've got our star panel joining us to give you all their opinions on the stories. tonight. we've got author and commentator louis oakley, political consultant suzanne evans, and journalist and broadcaster nina mischakoff. 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. >> all that and more. get ready britain, here we go. have the two main political parties forgotten our brave veterans. but first, here's your news with will hollis. >> alex. thank you. your top story at 9:00, nigel farage has repeated a pledge that reform uk will pay for an inquiry into the grooming scandal if the government continues to reject calls. speaking at the party's nonh calls. speaking at the party's north west conference in chester, reform's leader said the abuse of children in towns across britain, predominantly perpetrated by men of pakistani heritage, was the most unique evil of h

johnson , and banker, boris johnson, and wallpapergate lucy letby. child killer and failings of the nottingham killings. investigation of valdo calocane all of those things deemed more important, clearly to the prime minister in opposition than when he's in power now. it's an astonishing state of affairs. but first, the man of the moment. joining me now is gb news national reporter charlie peters. charlie, i also want to start by echoing what i've been saying to you all week. my son, what reporting you've been doing. you've captured the world's attention. elon musk has become something of a superfan. i don't think i've seen anybody else on the planet retweeted more than you. but joking aside, this conversation is firmly back in the spotlight, perhaps where it should have been years ago. you've been fighting on this, charlie for years. its front, its centre. we had a vote. the survivors didn't get what they want, but andy burnham dramatically enter into the fray. tell us the latest of what's been an astonishing week in politics. >> well, martin, the g

the wife of former prime minister boris johnson wrote about her ordeal on instagram, saying her strongdvice was to get the flu jab. the number of patients in hospital with flu continues to rise, quadruple the figures of last winter. and finally, temperatures tonight will once again be cold, reaching —15 degrees. last night they dropped to —18.7 in the coldest january night for 15 years. it's expected to stay chilly with an amber cold weather alert in place until tuesday. today, football matches have been postponed and meanwhile in derbyshire, gritters were stopped from working by 200 cars double parked on a scenic route near edale. well, those are your latest headlines at 11:00. but now let's get you back to headliners. >> hello and welcome to headliners. >> you first look at tomorrow's top stories with three comedians. before we dive in, let's take a look at what lewis and nick will have to work with on sunday's front pages. the sunday telegraph reeves to wage war on waste as labour critics circle the mail on sunday. >> musk and cummings in plot to sabotage uk politics sunday times ha

his shadow cabinet were demanding an inquiry into whether or not bofis inquiry into whether or not borison had been eating cake and, you know, and drinking it in downing street. but this is refused it, you know, point blank. >> yeah. i mean, it feels to me like once again, you've got labour politicians not doing the right thing because it suits them politically. he's very happy to shout about asking for an inquiry, if it means that it's going to damage the tories, as in the case with that inquiry into the covid parties. whereas this i mean, we know a lot of these places where these horrendous grooming gangs were operating were in places with labour run councils. an inquiry would probably expose a lot of figures in the labour party to have acted inappropriately and turned a blind eye to what was going on, but i really think that they need to just show some humility and do the right thing. i think it's absolutely disgusting that you've got the prime ministerjust standing there talking about the iicsa report over and over again, even though we've pointed it out to him a thousand times, that

communications at popular conservatism and akshata rees—mogg, conservative peer and former adviser to borisohnson, lord colvin, arranger, and the former labour advisor paul richards. and can you guess which political party thought this mental social media campaign was a good idea? good evening to you. can elon musk really barrage the farage? that's next. first, though, your news headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> ben, thank you very much. the top stories reform ukip leader nigel farage has responded after elon musk said he doesn't have what it takes to lead the party. farage said while this is a surprise, elon is a remarkable individual but i'm afraid on this i disagree. my view remains that tommy robinson is not right for reform, and i never sell out my principles. well, that's after musk posted on x saying the reform uk party needs a new leader. this apparent turn comes just a few weeks after nigel farage travelled to florida to meet with elon musk about possible funding for his party. and it also comes less than 24 hours after farage said there was no question on musk's supporting him pe

. >> let's talk to former advisers to boris johnson. oscar red drop. good morning. morning. i'm trying i'm trying to find the right words for this because, i mean, he's a big advocate of free speech, right? but the biggest. yeah, but but there is also an argument to say you shouldn't use your speech to put other people in danger. so has he crossed a line, do you think? >> i think the stuff he said about jess phillips was was completely wrong. look, i mean, elon musk is hugely unpredictable, particularly in terms of what he puts out publicly on twitter. he is, he says, all manner of erratic, wild, wonderful and sometimes pretty horrible stuff. but if you're the government and you want to be taken seriously in the eyes of the public, there are two things for me here is one. they will see a warped sense of priority in terms of the home office spending more time monitoring online. you know, online content and, you know, online content and, you know, people expressing opinions, no matter how probably distasteful they can be at times. so that's one thing. secondly, strategically,

under boris johnson, two ethics advisers resigned in less than two years. what a contrast!d them out. should you have resigned sooner? good evening. tulip siddiq quit last night, saying that staying would be a distraction for the government. the standards watchdog concluded she didn't break the ministerial code, but it was regrettable she had not been more alert to the potential reputational risks of ties to her aunt, bangladesh's deposed former pm, sheikh hasina. the allegations had concerned a flat gifted to siddiq by an ally of her aunt and an infrastructure deal signed with vladimir putin. she has denied any wrongdoing. sadiq and starmer remain constituency neighbours and, we're told, friends. but with two corruption investigations in bangladesh ongoing, they are unlikely to be ministerial colleagues again any time soon. joe pike, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from central lobby. henry, awkward questions for the prime minister over the now former economic secretary to the treasury. as you had, this is a story about tu
