we also know that the department of defence is going to be deploying military aircraft equipped withto spray over the affected areas, but president biden has said that because of the severity of this crisis now here in california, he will be cancelling his trip to italy, his last foreign trip in the white house. and i think there is a sense of unease and nervousness about what the day break will bring in terms of the level of destruction that we are seeing here in los angeles. these are live pictures from the scene in los angeles of one of the fires still raging tonight. tonight la time anyway. we know at least five wild fires are raging across the area. three of the blazes are completely uncontained. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. a warning now that the next story, some viewers may find upsetting and offensive. a former security guard at harrods has been speaking exclusively to bbc radio 5 live about the clear racism and bullying he saw during mohammed al fayed's ownership of the department store. the bbc has heard from scores of women who say they were sexual
