we will continue with these live pictures as i bring gary o'donoghue back into the conversation.t has been interesting listening to a variety of contributors talking aboutjimmy carter, and we have heard this through the course of the last seven or eight days, where there has been so much re—evaluation ofjimmy carter's presidency, a reflection of the long arc of work, over a lifetime of public service, and perhaps a more complicated picture than the immediate aftermath of those months when he left office. i think the sheer length of time since he left the white house means there will have been quite naturally these various moments of vision over his legacy and his achievements, and his failures. those things go through phases, different periods of historical analysis, different generations of historians that go back and take a fresh view of these things, and we are talking history here, and we're not talking contemporary political life, we are talking about the previous century. and i think also the other factor you have to remember is that because of the nature of constitution an

let's go to our north american correspondent gary o'donoghue who is in los angeles today. where you are and what you witnessed today. gary: we are in the palisades area, the scene of one of the big fires. there is good news today. some of the wind's speeds they were expecting have not quite transpired as it happens. that means there is a bit of a lull right now. those to pick up in the next several hours over the next day or so. but it is not as bad today as they feared meaning they can go more on the offensive with the fires, try to increase the amounts contained. we know that both of the fires here and in eaton are still burning pretty badly. the other thing that has changed today is the federal emergency agency, fema, set up two disaster centers where people can go to get coordinated help, get money for housing, get money for belongings that they have lost, particularly for those that are insured, they can get help being re-housed. they are also playing host to around 70 other organizations. i spoke to people from the salvation army. they were offering clothes and spirit

little earlier i spoke to gary o'donoghue, who told me donald trump osman comments will be ringing alarming, i think, that one of the things we know from his first term, and indeed the years after that, is that sometimes there is some posturing, sometimes you might even describe that as sort of negotiation out loud, megaphone diplomacy, whatever you want to call it, that does not come to anything. sometimes it does come to something. so i think the context is important, but we cannot be sure, i don't think, how serious he is about some of these things. he is clearly serious about things like nato, because that has been consistent and he did get some concessions from nato. whether he really means canada should be the 51st state, ijust don't know, and i don't think anyone knows, and i'd be amazed even if anyone in his inner circle really knows the answer to that. these things, we have to take them seriously, but we also have to remember that this is a very, very sophisticated and effective way of sucking up the oxygen of publicity, the news cycle, of dominating free media in this country a
