hollywood hills. um, that this is the new fire. i believe that's that's begun. uh, not sure the extent. it's runyon canyon. i'm being told 10,000 acres was the last estimate i heard for the eaton fire. and which is where i am. 15,000 acres, uh, in in the pacific palisades. source. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> good evening. this is the source live from capitol hill tonight, where president-elect donald trump has just wrapped up a critical meeting behind closed doors with senate republicans attempting to hash out a plan that could make or break his agenda once he retakes office in a matter of days. that's not an exaggeration. and one of the senators who was in that meeting is going to join me live here shortly. but we start tonight in los angeles, where there are six wildfires now raging right now at this hour, five are four of those are fires that i should note that we are seeing here. out of these, six are still 0% contained. this evening, officials say that at least five people are dead, and they

that's why our hollywood hills fire that's burning right now underneath the hollywood hills sign andt's about 20 acres but you go back to yesterday and we knew that if we did not catch a fire within the first 20 minutes, it's going to go to thousands of acres and that's exactly what happened. we are getting a little bit of a low but we have a lot of fire burning out there. >> trace: i'm wondering chief, when will we find out how the fires started. you would think by now we could trace the origin. >> you would think so but it's a little bit more complicated than that. once they have identified that point of origin, those arson investigators literally sift through, you know, every grain of sand, everything that may be out there. we really don't know. it's not a matter of -- i hear this all the time, that we are not being transparent. it's not that at all, it's just we want to be absolutely sure before we voice a determination. >> trace: yeah. chief, we appreciate your time, captain scott, thank you so much for coming on. good information. coming up, victims of the los angeles wildfires

hollywood hills. it's surrounded by homes, of course, as you go there and you walk around, you can look out. people go and you can see all these homes. that is what we are now looking at, where this new fire has just started. and now evacuations are being forced for some of the areas that you're looking at right here, as we just heard from a representative from the fire department in l.a. saying that even if you are not under an evacuation order, you should be prepared to leave even if you're not right as of this moment, he said. to get ready, you can see the aerial video here showing pockets of fire raging on top of the hills, as firefighters are desperately working to put out this blaze. so far, they are struggling to put out any of it. cnn's chief climate correspondent bill weir is in pacific palisades. and bill, obviously, you know, we were just checking in with the palisades and looking at what this looks like. now to hear that that this area in hollywood hills near runyon canyon, which i mean, a

hills. >> oakland berkeley hills, 33 to 52mph. so it's a little system clipped us here. it's got a little open wave. it will form a low off southern california. and guess what? that's going to give them another round of wind as well. so this is a really bad pattern for right now. but what are you going to do. it's just we're stuck in it. winds up to about 2530 five miles per hour. it will be a breezy, blustery day. windy for some. there is a wind advisory that's out 40s 50s on most of the temps, although look at menlo park, mountain view and san jose. so 30s to 50s. and are you going to make it. no, you're not going to make it. but there is a wind advisory out and that takes us mainly for the north bay hills. i don't know why it's not the east bay hills, but that's not my call. so blowing in the wind and it will be a day with temperatures 60s low. clear skies yet windy. no rain in sight. temperatures 60 to 65 should cover it. all right, over to sal. i think we have something right away. >> y

you will notice healdsburg healdsburg hills was 86 oakland hills. napa county airport 31 miles an hour. what brought all of this? well, we've been talking about it since yesterday. area of low pressure that is pushing into parts of mexico. high pressure building in. they were a little too close for comfort starting yesterday, they have not only the drought conditions in southern california, but they've seen a record dry stretch. and they have critically dry fuels combining with the strong santa ana wind event, which fueled all those wildfires that are burning same offshore winds, bringing us the warmth today, 67, in santa rosa got up to 70 in san rafael, 74 in redwood city. you will notice it was pretty mild in oakland, 6766 in san francisco and 65 in livermore. live view from our golden gate bridge camera. dry skies out there 58. in the city. oakland. you're still mild along with redwood city at 6058 degrees in san jose. and a beautiful view from our emeryville camera as we look at san francisco. mid 50s, santa rosa 53 napa in the mid 50s, concord

healdsburg hills 80. oakland hills 60. even 38 miles an hour there at sfo. the setup that brought the devastating and deadly winds to southern california as the low pressure inland, high pressure over the pacific, the two squeezing together too much, and the very dry conditions, the drought in southern california with very little rain is leading to those issues down south 50s and 60s on those temperatures right now. a live view right now from our east bay hills camera. beautiful post. sunset view tomorrow. mild to warm. possible records this weekend. still above average temperatures and early next week our dry pattern continues. so today's highs today have been in the 60s and 70s. it's still going to be comfortable at 620 this evening in the 50s. by 8:00 you start to notice some 40s. and then tomorrow morning there may be a few patches of fog forming in the afternoon. plenty of sun. we are looking at high temperatures that will come in into the 60s and 70s by evening, those temperatures falling once again. your morning numbers 30s 40s. we will have some patc

, didn't burn up the hill, came down the hill pushed by those heavy winds and pushing the fire against its nature, its natural inclination to burn uphill and then be turned back onto itself and put itself out, which is what we usually see. these winds have not let up since yesterday. we've had a full day of them, a full night, another full day. it looks like we're going to have another full night tonight, and no real relief in sight until at least the weekend. yeah, jennifer, we can hear all those sirens and we see all that, you know, all that's happening behind you. what about the air? air? you know, air drops. what about fighting this from the air? i know the wind has been a problem. when can we expect to see that? because that will really aid firefighters. yeah, it sure will. and that is where everything went sideways last night. because the wind was so strong. it was like a blowtorch. if you saw them trying to do water drops, which they did a few early on, the water would would drop out of the helicopter and evaporate and dissipate and get blown out of the way with, with, without e

and that you know, especially the hills, the inland hills. ensure your heels of the north bay and also including the east bay hills, also, including the santa clara mountains, eastern santa clara mountains, and the santa cruz mountains. it's all about the wind. that's one of the big things. in fact, you look at the shot about 10 will pius. you see cameras jiggling a little bit, especially in the hills. we'll see the wind. so here are the areas of the high wind advisory. this is in effect until tomorrow morning and its throughout much of the bay area's i just mentioned. and if planning to drive a high-profile vehicle could be a bit of a challenge. also, bay area air quality is good to moderate. and here you see some areas of yellow, especially down in san jose at this hour, we've actually improve some of these meeting since earlier this morning. but still, we do have high pressure in control and that can trap particulate matter close to the ground. so we're lucky compared to southern california looking for rain. it is not going to happen. not

>> all right, jarred hill in washington.s. >>> and we'll bring you the departure ceremony from the capitol and former president carter's state funeral in washington national cathedral live in a cbs news special report. that's going to be at 9:00 eastern on cbs and streaming on paramount plus. >>> coming up, wildfire losses. we'll show some of the high-profile names impacted by the california fires. mpacted by the california fires. iabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. and adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for type 1 diabetes or children. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2, or if allergic to it. stop taking and get medica

we saw a lot of firefighters on foot there earlier, as well in the hills.s putting out new information saying that hey, have ordered mandatory evac weakss in this area and this fire started to burn 10:25 am local time about an hour ago at 1:125 p.m. eastern time in the northern san fernando valley community of granada hills that we have reported. they have evacuation orders there and it's also unclear how this one started. >> as you pointed out for an hour the entire hillside and the valley in between is gone because this fuel is so dry it just literally explodes into flames and there's another great view of a water drop. put that on the leading edge of the fire and try to wet down the vegetation on the other side. they are doing a marvelous job containing this from getting further out but we saw the timeline time-lapse of video from uc san diego in california. we played it out on wednesday afternoon of the early moments of the pacific palisades fire and how the entire hillside erupts into flames in the space of about an hour or 90 minutes and sweeps down i

and you're the hollywood hills. describe the situation there for us. the way up to the right, this is where we also set fire hollywood hills. very push neighborhood where a affluent area. yeah, of course hollywood hills and those folks who are right behind me were the last ones who were hit by evacuation orders. and we asked law enforcement here, pretty much everybody left t o y because of the fire, which is going on. actually on the other side of the hill, it's growing and it's not under control. it's 0 percent contains. it is the latest blaze popping up in and around los angeles. the biggest still is the power sets fire the winds were picking up about an hour ago now died down a little bit here and there is a good side. why? because you can see it. but maybe you can hear it, they are a helicopter this up in the now, those spotters, they are not, the helicopters were dump a lot which dump a lot of water pot is a good sign when dying down air assets for the firefighters in the air. and that means they can actually come bed effectively, pipe fire, which

actually on the other side of the hill, it's growing and it's not under control. it's 0 percent contains. it is the latest blaze popping up in and around las and this, the biggest steel is the power set as fire. the winds were picking up about an hour ago now died down a little bit to you and that is a good side. why? because you can see it, but maybe you can hear their helicopters up in the now, those spotters, they are not, the helicopters were dump a lot of which dump a lot of water pot is a good sign, wind dying down air assets for the firefighters in the air, and that means they can actually come bed effectively, pipe fire, which they couldn't in the last 24 to 48 hours at all. well, as we've been saying, there are multiple fires burning simultaneously and earlier you sent us some footage from the 8th and fire, which is near pasadena. what was going on there? a well, it's of a scene of destruction, really chaotic destruction. it's a, i wouldn't describe it as a war zone or a collect the fuck. the destruction is really a immense, very, very way the big and sig

that was actually the floor of where we have a report fire in the hill trap. you drive? yes, just north of the sheriff's substation on the highway. it's traveling fast. so we never thank you very well. and that's got to be part of our blazer above the sheriff's station that is eight miles east of here that are completely fire. it's got to be all out available piece of equipment and both the city and i'll take the civilian the best engines out there myself. a new fire eight miles away, sweeping down the steep cliffside toward homes thickly clustered above the highway on the high with a magnificent pacific view, a view now obscured by brown smoke choking out the setting, bringing an early night of california riviera for old pacific coast highway. mr. height at this very moment is up on the roof with a hose wetting down his for directly across the street. these flames are roaring down topside with a tremendous rip behind them. and the firemen are on top of two apartments while the others fight fire house by house and below, parked on the road the householders in their cars

it is windy in our hills this morning.ess wind throughout the afternoon and a lot of sunshine today with temperatures going into the 60s. another dry day ahead. low pressure over the central valley supplying us with those gusty winds in our hills this morning. this area of low pressure will dive south over the next 24 hours and will intensify. and that is why we have that red flag warning in effect across southern california. this continues through wednesday evening. this is our particularly dangerous situation, not only because we have fires currently burning, but because the vegetation is just so dry. and now we're seeing strong santa ana winds pick up once again. just got the latest numbers on some of these fires. and containment is going up 14% containment right now at the palisades fire. even higher on the eaton fire at 33%. so some good news there. but winds are strong this morning. they will continue throughout the day and into tomorrow. those winds could likely gust over 50mph at times. the winds finally back off w

trump is on capitol hill.ten to this news. >> well i like one big beautiful bill and i always have, i always will but if two is more certain, it does go a little bit quicker. liz: okay, breaking news. president trump just arrived on capitol hill. he's talking to senate republican leadership to move the trump agenda rapidly. we're on this top of the situation but first we've got this story. >> we don't need their cars. i'd rather make them in detroit. we don't need their lumber. we don't need their dairy products we have more than they have. we don't need anything so we are we losing $200 billion a year and more to protect canada? liz: that was president trump questioning why do american taxpayers have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year to protect canada. they have blown out their government healthcare budget, but basically, not doing a lot of military spending. now, former far left prime minister justin trudeau is out of office and resigned. he's now getting ripped on twitter and social media

the wind is roaring in the oakland hills. i've seen right above the claremont, northeast to 43mph, so there is a decent little breeze kicking up its heels. high pressure says, now you're not coming in here. that system maybe a smidge cooler than than yesterday when it was really warm. as pam said, some smoke could drift up here, but i think most of it's going to stay south of us, and this high is not going anywhere anytime soon. so good day sunshine. maybe a smidge cooler, but boy it's windy in the hills, no doubt about it. 60s 70s on the temps forecast. models are having a tough time forecasting highs in this pattern, but still above average. all right, always above average. here he is, mr. sal castaneda. happy friday my friend. >> same to you steve. happy friday to you and to the viewer at home. i'm going to help you out and try and get you into work here. let's go to the bay bridge. you can see traffic is moving along pretty well with no major issues. it's going to be a little bit. well, it's going to be a little bit light

this is the hill we were talking about. the hotel is gone but the wind picks up and it carries through these canyons and with it it carries the flames and the embers. they were saying at one point in time that you had these embers that were going 1000 feet per second. you can imagine how fast they were travelling when they got to the ocean. will want to go back to the pacific palisades and the different neighbourhood were the chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live. what you seeing? >> matt was talking about how this ends, it is not ending anytime soon as you can see here. this is another home that had just caught fire in about the last 20 minutes. as we stood here it's on its way to burning to the ground. the thick smoke is coming across as well. the windows on that thing could explode at any moment but we were with martha earlier and saying that the problem here is that you've got a fire like that gets started by one like this just across the street. this was a home that was burning while we were talking to martha at th

eaton fire up on the hill. me as well, and smoke has filled the air. what i can tell you, steve, is the difference is the wind. what were hurricane force gusts yesterday have calmed, which is a help to those firecrews tonight. and those firecrews tonight. and s - eakin . those firecrews tonight. and speaking of _ those firecrews tonight. and speaking of those _ those firecrews tonight. and speaking of those firecrews — how have they been coping? have they been on the move and fighting the fires for well over a day now?- fighting the fires for well over a da now? ,, f over a day now? steve, they're exhausted- _ over a day now? steve, they're exhausted. we're _ over a day now? steve, they're exhausted. we're stand - over a day now? steve, they're exhausted. we're stand right i exhausted. we're stand right across from a fire hydrant where the crews have been coming down the hill, filling up coming down the hill, filling up with water and going right back up. it's an all hands on deck situation. crews from across t

hills firestorm of 1991. it was very apocalyptic, and i feel like having experienced that, i know the graphic feeling, the the tragic feeling of all that, how things can change within a, you know, in a moment's notice. kasten says he walked outside on that day, and there was ash in his front yard. the sky was black. >>>>he >>still lives in the same home he did in 1991, and the fire risk is always on his mind, especially as he grows increasingly concerned about insurance rates going up and possibly being dropped from his coverage. where are we headed? why aren't we making fire risk and fire safety a priority? more of a priority. chief sprague is trying to do just that, and he's encouraging the community to embrace scientifically proven strategies to safeguard people and their structures. the first thing he's asking people to do is to make sure they have a plan to leave their homes in the berkeley hills. in the case of extreme fire events, the streets are narrow and it will be impossible to move everyone out at

the interior hills and mountains of the north bay. and here's a look at the peak wind speeds, which will be increasing tonight into tomorrow morning. if you're in those hilltop communities, if you're out around, let's say, camino tassajara, danville area, the noise of the wind might wake you up tonight. peak wind speeds picking up for the first hf of saturday. and then the wind eeds do start to dial back as we head into your sunday forecast. but notice the wind direction here. it is gusty and offshore. w we're thankful we've had some pretty good rain totals so far this season, so that is kind of suppressed. the fire danger locally. wind speeds will start to come down and we'll lose that wind advisory as we head into sunday. saturday morning temperatures will be in the 40s and highs again for the afternoon. pretty good temperature recovery. san jose southward seeing highs in the mid 60s. about 5 to 7 degrees above average for this time of year. and 60s bayside around san francisco and oakland. now we're going to move forward and show y

we do have the wind advisory for our hills, north bay hills, east bay hills down through our south bay and santa cruz mountains where we have seen those winds gusting at times. right now, mount saint helena still reporting 40mph. oakland north reporting 42. we have the winds expected to continue off and on, especially over the north bay over the next couple of days as the pattern continues to bring us that offshore wind and flow, not only for us here, but southern california as well. where we have gone calm, we are much colder this morning we are down by 13 and 14 degrees. santa rosa, petaluma and novato. temperatures in the 30s this morning, 35 degrees santa rosa. you are just a few degrees above freezing. you are definitely noticing a difference. meanwhile, if you do have some wind, you're 56 degrees in napa. you're 53. in san francisco, in san jose, you are 50 out of doors. at this moment into the afternoon, temperatures will be on the mild side in a few degrees above average. 64 in san jose, low 60s in san francisco. no rain in the extended forecast. and fortunately, i'll have a lo

hills an entirely different shapes, like more conical ones are going to exist. you see what can you tell me about how these ends organize the society, sophia? and if you, they have families or friends family has a window female, a windmill, or even many males. there's because once the mountain meet with several males, it carries their sperm for years and sometimes up to 20 years and uses it to reproduce the boy till they collectively form and asked where each worker and who's in and completely develop female, a certain specializations, either some forge for food, others dig or take care of the eggs and lar, right, and so on. are you busy for the future and how do they know which role they have? is it given to them when they're born? do they develop it? can they change roles? sophia, donny, are those died when they're born? they don't have a specific role yet. it all depends on the care. they're given by nanny and if the family needs that the nannies will raise more queens or more forward years, whatever is required and they can change their task specialization d

the hills of the north bay. oakland hills 25 miles an hour. look at the view, though.for a clear sky from mount tam. 51 downtown, 40, in redwood city. 725 the official sunrise, 45, in petaluma. a full moon on monday, so we have a coastal flood advisory. and look how much milder by the delta. so waking up to some breezy conditions, but windy in the upper elevations. that allows for a quick warm up. low 60s coast side, mid 60s for the rest of us today under sunny skies. stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. we want to get right to this live look this morning as the sun rises over los angeles. we're getting a clearer picture. you see the smoke billowing there? we do know that a flare up overnight caused new issues for fire crews in southern california. here's the very latest this morning. wildfires have burned over 35,000 acres in total, more than 180,000 people have been forced to evacuate from their homes. 11 people are dead, but that is a confirmed number, and authorities are expecting the death toll to climb. the palisades fire, right near malibu, is up to 8% contai

well, it was certainly mixed on capitol hill. senator alex padilla told our crew in d.c, it's important that we don't forget about what happened four years ago and that we learn from the insurrection. he says in this election, even though the outcome wasn't what he or other democrats wanted, it's important to do what's right. while certifying the presidential election used to be an uneventful day. now, in the wake of that insurrection, it comes with massive increase in security around the capitol and its purpose, some lawmakers say, will forever feel different. today we restore that respect for our constitution, our respect for election results, our respect for democracy. so, ian, he wasn't the only bay area lawmaker who has firsthand experience with what happened today, as well as what happened on january 6th, four years ago. what are some of the others saying? yeah, exactly. i also spoke with the south bay congresswoman, zoe lofgren. she was there four years ago, and again today she shared some of the same sentiments, but tells

is he up on capitol hill.his comes following yesterday's news conference during which president-elect trump made several bold promises. he will need help to make them reality. at least some of them. senior national correspondent aishah hasnie on capitol hill tonight with the latest. good evening, aishah. bret, good evening to you. catch him a few seconds senate republicans tonight. president-elect trump just went to go pay his respects with melania trump to former president jimmy carter. he did take a question as he walked in. he said that it doesn't matter if it's one bill or two bills, he says that he is going to get his agenda done that we are going to get a result. he is currently tucked away in g.o.p. leader john thune's office. that is where we're expecting him to leave momentarily to walk into this meeting with all senate republicans. and, bret, this meeting is incredibly important tonight. as you know house speaker mike johnson is moving forward with president trump's idea for one bill and after this m

huge walls of fire are tearing through the hills of los angeles.t expected to die down and this is sending clouds of thick smoke across the region. r robert ray is live in pacific palisades. r robert. >> good morning, a catastrophic scene in the hills not far from the pacific ocean. pch, pacific coasts highway, running along pacific ocean, malibu to the north, santa monica to the south and pacific palisades here in ruins here. neighborhoods destroyed. over 1000 structure in an inferno. look at this video we just shot in the course of the overnight hours. a home engulfed in flames. roof collapsed and exterior being hosed down trying to salvage what they can in the area. sun will come up in next couple hours and assessments will continue as will firefighting. zero percent containment here and over 17,000 acres burned one of five fires and five people have lost their lives so far. ainsley. >> ainsley: tragic. thank you. one pacific palisades homeowner watching on ring security camera as the fires were creeping up to his white picket fence in front of

even in our hills. the winds are lighter than they were yesterday, so temperatures right now are typical morning chill in the 40s and low 50s as we get you going on this friday. so expect a lot of sunshine just like yesterday. we're in this pattern. high pressure is in control. it leads to these temperatures well above average. here you go. later on this afternoon we'll go into the 60s once again with full sunshine. just like yesterday. 1 or 2 areas could hit the low 70s as we head towards 3 or 4:00 pm. so highs today will go to 62 in oakland, 63 in santa rosa, 61 in the city, 68 in san jose. overnight tonight, the big story will be the breeze that picks up. so let's look at the winds future track. let me go back real quick to future tracker showing you tomorrow morning they start to increase. the winds will peak here in the afternoon, probably close to 1:02 p.m. that's when we'll find peak winds around the region and then they'll calm down heading into sunday morning. here's the accuweather seven day f

the hollywood hills, runyon canyon, and even as far as west hollywood and beverly hills on either side. so a lot of concern tonight. the wind is still blowing very strong. very erratically. and we don't expect to get any real relief as far as firefighters are concerned until the weekend. i'm jennifer bjorklund in pacific palisades, california. now back to you. >> let's get more on that and check in with nbc meteorologist angie lassman who is monitoring those winds fueling the flames. and a very small glimmer of good news on that front. >> we've got the potential for weakening winds as we get through the day today. notice that doesn't mean the winds completely dissipate. we're still going to deal with 40-50 mile-per-hour winds out of the north-northeast. but look what happens by friday. we see an uptick in that. this is the swing of things. in the meantime we've got 17 million people under red flag warnings across this region. you can see where we're watching. we're talking 10, 15, 20-mile-per-hour wind speeds. on the hills and mountains, we'll see those elevated winds. notice as we get

los altos hills, though at 51.alf moon b 57 to 5914 in truckee, 32 south lake tahoe, carson city, 19, in reno. jackpot 21. and that's a big dome of high pressure, and it's not going anywhere. the problem is a series of systems troughs. lows go into nevada and then retrograde or dig back into southern california. i think there's another one on late monday and tuesday. i've been i just can't get around it. now they're finally talking about it. and i think unfortunately, that could set up another round of offshore wind for them as we head into early next week. nothing for us rain wise yet. waiting on a sunny day won't have to wait long. it'll be sunny today. a little breezy to windy up in the hills, but for many it will be 60s to near 70 on the temps. >> thank you steve. an investigation is underway after four bodies were found in a home in santa rosa. we ear from neig or dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high

my home is on the other side of these hills. i've been on the phone with my wife. she's with the two kids at home and they've got the go bags ready because we are probably about maybe a quarter of a mile outside of that evacuation zone. right now the wind is blowing towards hollywood. that's really important here, because what's going to happen is as that fire works its way up runyon canyon, it's going to go up, because of the topography, but the wind is blowing this way. it is blowing down towards hollywood, so the main concern right now is hollywood boulevard, is this area, sunset boulevard, and everything that is down below for a couple of blocks. that's why that evacuation order has been given. you see behind us we've got fire crews, we've got the police now staging and this is one of the areas where you should be able to see up on the hill. it's very difficult to see but it's still a ways away. but people are hopefully heeding those warnings, evacuating because the winds are strong enough. comparatively speaking, yesterday the winds are very, very light. but i
