candice nguyen nbc bay area candice. we'll see. a bit later. we have an update now on the future of governor newsom's controversial underground water tunnel in the central valley. today, the santa clara valley water district voted 6 to 1 to contribute nearly $10 million toward the planning and design of this massive infrastructure project. valley water is the 13th water agency to vote in favor of the plan. the 45 mile tunnel would take fresh water from the sacramento river and divert it underground to large water pumps already located in tracy. from there, the water would be diverted to other parts of the state. it will cost an estimated $20 billion. environmental groups and counties along the delta who oppose the watater tunnel say ts tunnel would make the delta water saltier, lead to more algae blooms and hurt the fish that swim in it. defense secretary pick pete hegseth is on capitol hill, kicking off confirmation hearings for president elect trump's incoming cabinet. he pitched himself as a change agent to lead the department. democrats gri

i'm candice nguyen and i'm janelle wang. it is day three of the firestorm sweeping through l.a. county. thousands of acres have burned since tuesday, and we are tracking a new fire at this hour, threatening an entirely new neighborhood. this is the kenneth fire. it's burning just off highway 101 near the la ventura county border. this is near the west hills and calabasas neighborhood. it started just before three this afternoon. it has exploded to almost 800 acres in just the past couple of hours. mandatory evacuations underway, and you could see flames very close in the homes in the way of the fire's path. now, winds are still at red flag levels. that red flag warning still in effect, but the gusts have been less intense. and firefighters are taking this opportunity to start working on containment lines for the eaton and palisades fire. both are still 0% contained, and together they have destroyed over 10,000 structures, mostly homes. video from pacific palisades shows a couple desperately trying to save their neighbor's house. she says water stopped running in their home as th

all right, candice, thank you for that preview. really appreciate it. we'll see you at 11. forbes richest men will reportedly attend president elect donald trump's inauguration on monday. we're talking about tesla's elon musk, meta's mark zuckerberg and amazon's jeff bezos. that's according to someone planning the inauguration. musk was has given mr. trump already appointed him to chair a new efficiency department, and he donated more than a quarter billion dollars to the trump presidential campaign. both bezos and zuckerberg have donated $1 million to trump's inauguration fund. last week, zuckerberg ended professional fact checking on instagram and facebook, citing a shifting political landscape, and bezos decided last fall that the washington post, which he owns, would not endorse vice president kamala harris. and as we await the supreme court's ruling on whether tiktok can stay in the u.s, a new app is topping the charts on apple's app store. and it's a lot like tiktok in more ways than one. let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman. okay, scott, go ahea

and we'll also have all of the day's top stories with journalist and broadcaster candice holdsworth and former labour adviser matthew laza on the sofa with us. >> welcome to saturday morning live only on gb news. >> well, very good morning. it's just coming up to 10:02. and did you see last night luke littler sensational as we said. >> isn't it absolutely amazing making history at 17 years old. >> and apparently he's now set for around £50 million in the coming coming well coming years i suppose, just because of the prominence that he's reached so early on in his career. >> and i think that probably could go up in the near future as well, because he's obviously making the sport more popular. >> and you were saying earlier, michael van gerwen, the guy that he was competing against 25, he was when he first became. yeah, he was already the youngest. yeah. >> so yeah. michael van gerwen, who was the runner up last night, was actually a world champion in 2014. he's 39 now, the age of 25 i think. >> yes that's right give or take. don't quote us on that. >> absolutely incredible. so don't forg

i'm joined now by my panel, pollster and director at jl partners, scarlett mccgwire broadcaster candiceformer adviser to labour matthew laza. matt. matthew, let's start with you. are you are you puzzled? are you dismayed at the way that the british political agenda is being set from outside? >> well, i think it makes all of us somewhat uncomfortable to have a billionaire from across the pond seemingly dictating it. but i think when you step back and reflect, if you actually think about this, what's the difference between elon musk's power now with x and, say, the power now with x and, say, the power of rupert murdoch and the tabloid press in the 1980s, when if he or another proprietor decided they want to take up a topic and made it headlines, then suddenly that changed the political debate. and you can go all the way back to the 1920s, when press proprietors wanted to put empire first and against free trade, and that put up candidates in by elections, even some of which won. so, yes, at first it makes me feel very uncomfortable. i think when you step back at it, you think that it's abo

but we candice rapt the cost, you can cut stunning amounts of money from health care not by cutting services by by continuing technology. except once again the lobbyists are in the hallway to stop you from doing that because it would make them change their business models. but a number like this should make us all pucker. if we just went back to normal interest rate in nine year, 45% of all our tax receipts go into just interest. that's called interest fragility. it's the single thick that scares me the most in this society. we are no longer in charge. we've basically made the decision the debt markets are. is let's actually get a little more dystopian. part of this is to make an impact. if we went to 9% interest. it's happened. what would happen? anyone -- can you read this number? 83% of all tax receipts would go just to interest. and here's the reality of today. for every dollar we take in in tax receipts, we spend $1.39. yet what we callities cessionary, military -- call discretionary, military's basically flat, almost all the growth is two things. health care and interest. we can't do a
