julia vargas jones and julia, as we have been talking throughout this day, what are you seeing? because you've been seeing really active flames. and i know you had said behind you i can see all that smoke, but you had seen the fire go down that ravine and canyon and then come up. and last time, with the big black billowing smoke, it was unclear, you know, what had caused what structure caused that to ignite? what are you seeing now, as you've seen that advance? >> so, erin, we actually we took a look at that quickly. my team and i just went down to take a look. that's actually a road that we tried to go up into earlier to set up for this live report for you. i'll let him go ahead and show you that we drove up that. so we assume that this is this is homes that whatever is it that went up in flames is homes. there are definitely some kinds of structures that were down there. we're just looking at the map. we realize that this is this is a road that would dead end at the canyon. again, we're at the very eastern edge of the palisades fire, coming from the brentwood side of the 405 f

sorry, julia. let's listen to president biden here as we gather in this room on january 2025. >> imagine march of 1865. president lincoln had just delivered his inaugural address at the capitol, and he returned to the white house for a reception here in the east room. there were many well-wishers, but he spotted someone whose opinion he greatly valued. president lincoln asked him what he thought of the speech he had just delivered to the nation by a divided civil war. the man replied it was a sacred effort. it was a sacred effort. that man was frederick douglass. here we are, nearly 160 years later, in a room where abraham lincoln and frederick douglass stood to unify the nation. i'm joined by our incredible first lady, jill. >> we're joined by incredible vice president kamala harris and second gentleman doug. doug is a hell of a lawyer, by the way. finally get to get to practice again, huh? and for the final time as president, i have the honor of bestowing the medal of freedom on our nation's high

, julia, tell us what happened, how are you doing today? did you find housing? >> good morning, maria. so about -- 11:00 a.m. my nanny called panic saying smoke coming our direction i grabbed a suitcase said let's get out not take a chance before packing i side let me get my son from school i ran next door to elementary school the fire getting closer closer flames already jumping across to the brush around homes just behind the school. and you know took a while before to call education, 20 minutes for children to be released, by the time i got home got in the car quickly as we could left with very little. we knew at first to offer to take us in in palisades village are their homes since destroyed another friend in malibu said come stay with us, their houses have been destroyed we are in santa monica one block south of the current evacuation area. and all constant alerts i was to raebt house in calabasas before we signed off, the owner say it wait we are in emergency evacuation a fire in the valley probably still dynamic, very much ongoing.

>> all right, julia, thank you very much. and i don't know how much of those watching can hear, but we are seeing an increased air just air activity here in palisades fire that we can see above us of those firefighting assets that they've requested going in and the gusty winds that supercharged these fires days ago had eased a bit. there will be moments when you hear them, you know, yesterday morning we could hear them whipping. then that calmer wind was what the firefighters have been trying to seize to establish these perimeters and control these fires. but those winds are going to pick up again, something no one can control. and cnn meteorologist allison chinchar has been tracking the winds, which is their their incredible fear. i mean, allison, they are racing against time. they are racing against the wind to try to control this when they know the winds are going to come. so what exactly is the forecast here? >> all right. so the forecast is just that we've got a very narrow window right now where these winds are still on

julia angwin, let's bring you back in here.stream media often aspires to, for example, impartiality, to objectivity. this can be a bit dry. and we're looking at a world where news entertainment is what people want. i mean, ithink you're — i think that's an element of it but i also think that it's important to think about the fact that humans are designed to trust other humans. and so, seeing someone's face as they talk to you actually makes a huge difference. that's how we were sort of designed to understand each other. and so, that's why tv, obviously, has worked, and radio — right, you guys? but for the printed word, for — especially as it has been written, in these neutral, objective terms, you're right, it doesn't have that emotional resonance and so, there is an advantage to news influencers — it sounds like joey does his own research — but plenty of them do take alessandra's hard work and just riff off of it, right? and so, there is an element in this world where they really do rely on mainstream journalism and then sort

julia boorstin has more on this now., melissa, meta says it aims to restore free expression and says it's replacing it third party fact-checking with what they call a community notes model, which is similar to x's approach. the company is also allowing more political content on its platforms, it's removing restrictions on subjects including gender and immigration. with policy enforcement now focused on what they call illegal and high severity violations meta is also moving its trust and safety and content moderation teams from historically democratic california to historically republican texas. ceo mark zuckerberg saying the changes will correct the censorship it mistakenly allowed on the platform. this is zuckerberg's latest signal that he's eager to work with the trump min stras. last week, joel caplan was announced to replace nick clegg as head of meta's global policy. and yesterday, the company announced that longtime trump ally and supporter dana white is joining meta's board. zuckerberg addressing criticism of cens

well, julia koerner has a thought on that, too.technology brings advantages in these aspects where you can have your unique design personalised in your unique colour, maybe with your initials designed into it. also, i think in today's time, do we really need to produce a million pieces where we end up not knowing if we actually will sell those? it is an interesting thought, isn't it? but if 3d printing is to be a sustainable alternative to mass production, if we really want to reap the benefits of this technology, well, we do have to be able to afford it. anyway, that's it from us for this week. thank you very much for watching and we will see you soon. hello. snow has been falling across parts of the uk. it has been causing disruption, some icy conditions as well, and i think the problems will go on into sunday. so met office amber warnings remain in force. those warnings have been covering parts of wales, into the midlands and also northern england. and i think it is northern england that will bear the brunt of the snowfall as we

as you can hear, julia david's _ surprise. as you can hear, julia david's reaction - surprise.lia david's reaction that he was flabbergasted. but i wonder what the political reaction has been cross the political spectrum. it been cross the political spectrum-— been cross the political sectrum. .,, _, ., spectrum. it has come down alon: spectrum. it has come down along party _ spectrum. it has come down along party lines. _ spectrum. it has come down along party lines. you - spectrum. it has come down along party lines. you havel along party lines. you have democrats very much pushing back against this whereas republicans seem to be in support. it seems mark zuckerberg is taking a page out of elon musk�*s playbook on x and we even saw meta executives say that an mark zuckerberg essentially say that modelling this new strategy they are using half community notes. politically for quite some time or at least for the past few months, we have seen mark zuckerberg almost trying to curry favour with those on the right, where that president trump himself or others the conservative influ

yeah, julia. i mean, i didn't start out planning to make heaven and hell comparison, you know, compare ideas or faith. faith in the tech world. things like heaven and hell, but just reading the literature, you know, sort of tending the meetings and being the world of tech people, i people it just, it struck me. so, first of all, just the basics there is a belief that is pretty widespread. the tech world, i don't know how familiar here is with it. i assume there's a mix, but you guys are probably fairly knowledgeable about this. it's called long termism. and you know, the idea is that at some point maybe millions of years in the future there's going to be trillions of digital beings uploaded into the you know, i guess it'll be powered by the power of distant stars and, you know, that that's that's what we're going to that's we're going to have and what would i about this? well, people who are interested in long term realism are always saying what do we owe the future that's their line. what do we o

we're coming back to you, julia.there's been a lot of development there on the ground where you have been. tell us what you're seeing and what it should be. a downtown street that you can clearly see down, but is very much not. >> yeah. i mean, brianna, i think that is the shocking part of all of this, right? we see and we're used to the idea of wildfires. this is in the middle of the city. this is the main drag. there's businesses, there's billboards. you know, we just are in front of these firefighters. they just finished with this one house. they're emptying out their hoses. they're rolling out and going to the next hotspot because and you see this all of the smoke. this is from this this one house and this one tree that has been on fire nonstop. they are stretched thin and they have to keep on moving 100 mile an hour winds in this region that is hurricane level strength winds. but instead of water, we have fire moving along with these winds. so they have to move quickly. these firefighters are working. some of th

cnn's julia vargas jones is in los angeles. so, julia, you're on the ground. tell us what's happening and what are you hearing from residents on the ground? >> hey. thank you. yeah. manu, a lot of frustration this morning. we just got approached by a resident who had to evacuate the palisades fire area asking, you know, have you seen my house? this is something that we've been getting from resident after resident. as people start to try to come home and and get a real sense of the extent of this damage, we're still at around 11% containment of this fire, and it's moved east. now, as you can probably see, the winds are starting to pick back up here in los angeles. and that could mean that the fire could kind of fold back into itself this way. behind me, this is the west side of the city. all of the destruction from this fire has come from that direction over here. the neighborhoods that firefighters have been working tirelessly to save. this is the brentwood area, mandeville canyon, very close to the 405 freeway that cuts los angeles north south. we're very clo

shame bounce coming year, and perhaps our entire presidency will be judged on how she handles that. julia galle. i know i'll just be here on the us mexico border or not brazil has just welcomed him a new year with a wrinkled breaking turn out. the thousands attended the festivities on cars on a beach in rio de janeiro. they were treated to a 12 minute fireworks display with 35 hours pyrotechnics the under the french capital. the pre owned, once again took center stage at new year's celebrations. festivities began with a light show from touch on some of these a which was set to have more than a 1000000 people. that's it for me down, jordan. the news continues here up to one to one east. rachel plaza watching the doing the combination of violent wars and the heavy rain creating a rest of the for more suffering for palestinians asking questions. what are the challenges in helping girls that are seeing this within these complex refusing for the extra really, really big within this janet. it's an, an in depth coverage. i'll just say it was teens on the ground. when you closer to the heart of t

cnn's julia vargas jones is near the palisades fire. julia, what's happening? >> well, fred, we're seeing the expansion of this fire eastward first hand. step out of the shot here so you can see we are very close to the 405 freeway. this artery that links north and south los angeles, the hills that you see now ablaze are just west of the palisades. that's the direction of action that you've seen. the wiping of entire neighborhoods. that is what is beyond these hills on this side where we are. this is where those neighborhoods that you're mentioning, brentwood, the getty villa, being evacuated. sorry, the getty center being evacuated. one of the most iconic cultural institutions, museums with $6 billion worth of artworks now being protected with first responders around there, around me here, lots of aircraft going up and down these hills. what they're doing now is that they're dumping water in the spots that need the most. so we're right between like close to the 405 just north of here, the san fernando valley, that is a very densely populated residential area.

julia vargas jones. thanks so much. so many people. and we've shown you some of the video of lost everything in the fire, some of their possessions are irreplaceable. >> georgie and leonardo antenori evacuated their home in pacific palisades on the first morning of the fire. and then hours later, their home and everything in it was gone, including their late daughter's ashes. >> we had a daughter 15 years ago. she'd be 15 and she passed away when she was one, and her ashes were in our home and. i mean, they're gone, like every memory, every piece of physical evidence of her life is just gone. and that hurts. i feel numb right now because i feel like i've cried all of my emotions, but i've just been. it's just been. the prices of insurance just got so high. and, you know, we were still trying to recover from, you know, the last four years of just everything changing after covid that we thought, you know, we'll recover fast and and then we'll just pick up our insurance again and everything will be fine. we never, ever, in

but i remember julia came to see me in new york and he said, "richard, julia's, she's good.'s good." so, she came to new york and she's sitting in my office. garry introduced us and he left. and he called back like 45 minutes lat. and he's going, "how's it going?" [ laughter ] and i said, "it's garry." so, i'm talking to garry, and she's on the other side of the desk and she's writing something on one of my post-its there, in the middle of it. and then she turns around, and puts it, and i read it, it says, "please say yes." [ audience aws ] >> jimmy: no way. >> so, i said, "garry, i think i just said yes." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: come on. [ cheers and applause ] >> true story. >> jimmy: no way. >> no, true story. true story. >> jimmy: i wish he'd kept that note, that would have been -- "please say yes" could be maybe a third rom-com. >> you're right. "please say yes." >> jimmy: please say yes, julia. [ cheers and applause ] please say yes. would you consider? you guys are perfect together. >> we had such a good time making that. it was really kind of a magic moment for all of

>> is it fair to say, julia, big sports implications?definitely a testament to the importance of sports. not only for the subscription business, but also for the advertising business. and i'm sure mark douglas has much more to say about that. but when you look at what the most valuable content is for advertisers, particularly when it comes to live, sports is number one. we see that in terms of the ratings. we see that in sterms of netflix and amazon all increasing their investment in live sport. i think that's what this is really about. it bolsters the value of what disney has been doing in the sports arena. >> over to you, mr. douglas. what do you kind of think are the implications here? >> well, i think we're starting the year, it's like julia just says, sports, sports, sport. so i think that everything about streaming just seems to keep going towards sports. so that's a good thing. espn as she mentioned and so forth. but i think also like disney kind of gets a free play here. they want an independent sports network. now they essential

thank you so much, julia, julia gadgianno for us and mexico city. we're going to get more on this with catalina, bruce, and navarro, who is a feminist activist and director of all kinda costs magazine and digital publication. she joins us from mexico city. thank you very much for being with us here on out to 0. i'm going to start off with a remarkable forget in this day and age, 78 percent support. that's almost unprecedented for leader in this day and age. can we get a little bit about this, about why that is, but can you just give us a bit more background, a bit more history to that? and how is she's able to maintain that heads up to 100 dies in office. and it's even the 1st of all things you've done for the invitation. and it is even more surprising for a female to be the leader. because usually when women get to power positions, therefore really t drops. um, and this has been very interesting because the shooting bubbles government is countered tendency from what we're seeing in the region that is starting to more conservative outdoors. daria an

. >> cnn's julia vargas jones is east of the palisades fire. she's in altadena, california, where the eaton fire is being blamed for all five confirmed deaths so far. and, julia, what are you seeing where you are? >> 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

julia julia vargas jones, go back on the sidewalk. i don't want you standing in the street over there. stay safe and we'll stay in close touch with you as well. >> i'm not sure this is much better. yeah. >> please stay on the sidewalk. don't go in the street. coming up, our live breaking coverage of the california fire emergency will continue. we'll go back to the scene and get an update on the forecast on when firefighters might repeat, might catch a break. >> i lay on my back frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed. dana said. you're still you. and i love you, super man. >> the christopher reeve story february 2nd on money is tight, so we must make sacrifices. >> i give up my bespoke shaving subscription and i'll stop ordering everything that's trending on instagram. >> and i will no longer agree to the add ons at the oil change place just because the mechanic called me ma'am. >> it really is a top of the line filter, ma'am. >> and of course we'll downgrade our insurance to get a lower rate. >> well, you k

what is going on, julia?y, and u.s., enabling users to browse ebay listings on facebook marketplace and then complete their transactions on ebay. shares of ebay moving nearly 10% higher on the news today. this move invites other sellers on facebook marketplace comes after the european commission in november find -- fined meta over abusive practices that benefited facebook marketplace. meta breached u.s. antitrust rules and among other things, it posted unfair trading conditions on other online classified ad service providers. meta saying that it is working to address issues but the commission's decision on facebook marketplace, as we continue to appeal that decision. back over to you. >> julia, thank you. that is julia boorstin. now, the energy space. what we know? >> constellation is off the board levels of the day but still down 5%. the company is nearing a deal to buy a equity owned independent power producer. last year it was reported that they were exploring options. perhaps not too much of a surprise th

economist julia polack here to tell us about the state of job creation and optimistic. we are also following of course the devastation from the fires in california that for now are expanding and uncontained. all that and much more on "making money." so, the financial markets as we mentioned closed today in honor of the national day of mourning for president jimmy carter. the bond markets just closing moments ago on the day yields are rising just a little bit. you have the 10-year yield holding just above 4.6% and the key two-year yield still at 4.2%. i'm pleased to say that's where i want to go with slatestone wealth chief market strategist kenny polcari. kenny? for me the story right now is not the equity market. it is the pressure that rising yields are putting on this equity market. the last time you had a 5% on a 20-year and a 30-year you had a significant sell-off. how concerned are you about rising yields? >> so, i'm very concerned about that, right? i'm in this camp we're going to see five on the 10-year yield, and i think if that happens, the markets going to ce

>> julia, does this pave the way for more deals?d we look at this in terms of the sports offerings? combining, in theory, would be more advantageous, but there are a lot of different offering from the consumer standpoint to wade through. >> a lot of different offering. i any think consumers are going have increasing amounts of choice, and that will be around budles. we may see a lot more consolidation this year, but i think a lot of that will depend on how the regulatory environment actually ends up being for deals. so, while that is still a little bit more uncertain, i can say for sure we will see more bundling. there are so many options, these companies understand the benefits of coming together and bundling their offerings to make it easier to navigate, and also to remove churn, reduce churn. for hulu and fubo, they will have a lot lower churn, if people aren't just signing up for fubo to watch a season of their favorite sport and then dropping it. they are giving people that additional functionality to really make it worth stick

ainsley. >> julia. >> good morning.ut what the trump team is considering here? >> well, willie, of course nothing is final yet, but we know that they're in discussions to try to figure out what resources they have to carry out workplace raids in the d.c. area that could be in maryland, d.c. proper, or in northern virginia. >> they could target a number of sectors. they're looking at things like agriculture, hospitality and health care. >> this is to carry out what would be a shock and awe first operation. and it could be done really as soon as inauguration day. this is because, of course, the president campaigned on making the incoming president campaigned on making this the largest deportation operation in american history, and he wants something to show for it when he comes into office. but workplace raids are historically very expensive and logistically difficult. >> they take a long time to plan so that when ice barges into a workplace and starts arresting people who they suspect to be living and working in the u.s.

julia, we'll check with you later in the show.he brief reprieve that firefighters have been getting from these high winds, unfortunately, is going to come to an end. they're expected to pick up this hour and then throughout the afternoon and into the evening. let's go to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar allison chinchar to see what you're seeing with the data there. alison. a lot of people watching these these winds with bated breath. >> that's right. yes. and the good news is we have seen those winds calm down in the last 24 hours. and they've been able to make some vast improvements in those containment numbers. but we would like a little bit more time. the unfortunate part is it's not likely to happen. you've got the red flag warnings and the fire weather watch in effect for several portions of southern california, in anticipation that these winds are going to start to creep back up. we're expecting them to be about 20 to 30mph sustained, gusting upwards of 50mph here as we go through the next 24 hours. right now, these are c

and julia, as we mentioned, that number is expected to grow. officials have not been able to move through these homes at this point. tell us how things are there right now. >> yeah. look, part of that thought process, brianna, is that they just need to see what is it that they come back to. this is is what people are coming back to. a lot of it is this just entire blocks of homes destroyed. it's it's quite jarring. we've we've been moving around altadena today trying to see what the situation is like in different parts of, of town to kind of get a sense of, you know, how widespread is this? where is it? what does it look like? and this is we've seen this over and over again. but, you know, on the other side of the street, we have homes that are fully untouched. i won't say untouched. we really don't know the situation of these homes on the backside, but they look perfectly fine. so yeah, i think people are coming, trying to come back home and trying to assess the situation. and we're just beginning to understand what is it that happened here, h

julia vargas, thank you so much. really appreciate it. let's turn to democratic congresswoman laura friedman. right now, she's the brand new u.s. representative of california's 30th congressional district, which is under an evacuation order. right. this second. congresswoman, i'm so sorry to be welcoming you to washington. under these conditions, huge swaths of your district are surrounded by flames. how are you doing? how are your constituents doing? what needs to happen to stop this? >> well, people are devastated right now. >> people's hearts are broken. >> my heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives in pasadena. >> it's awful. my constituents are frightened. people have not had power sometimes for, you know, all night long. so they're in the smoke. they see the fire, they don't exactly know where it is, and they don't necessarily have power in their homes. so everybody is scared all over los angeles. and people are devastated hearing that their neighbors and their friends are losing their homes. i just got off the

julia and natasha, thank you both.so you've got the sheriff, deputies and lapd there dealing with the human toll of this storm. even as fire firefighters are out there on the front lines dealing with the physical physics of that wildfire. there are all these people who are so stressed, want to know, want to get proof of their lives, are still somewhat intact. so your heart goes out to all the first responders at every level of this. but joining me now, david acuna, battalion chief with cal fire, that's california department of forestry and fire protection. they fight all over the state. you join us from sacramento. so you have a wider aperture on how things are going. chief, can you tell us now what's the best case scenario in the next 24 hours? and what is the worst case to worry about? >> hi, bill. thank you for having me on. before i get to that, i really want to comment on that person who was frustrated. i totally understand. i can't even imagine. i can only empathize with how much it must hurt to not know what's g

julia benbrook is joining us now. julia, what more are we hearing from the fema piece of this?e federal response? >> well, jessica, this administration is entering its final full week, and it's going to be a busy one. president joe biden continues to be updated regularly on the efforts to suppress the fires across los angeles. and as you mentioned, recently wrapped a virtual briefing with key officials, including vice president kamala harris, department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas and fema director deanne criswell. now, in an interview with cnn's jake tapper earlier today, criswell emphasized that these fires are still dangerous and urged people to continue to listen to state and local officials. when pressed on what these next few days might look like, she said that any change in weather could have a big impact on what happens next. >> firefighters are, you know, they're working day in and day out. >> there's resources that are out there, but if the weather changes, it creates different conditions. >> it's going to change the environment with which they'r

julia vargas jones cnn pacific palisades people in the area, victims of mother nature, really joining us now from southern california is todd hall, a senior meteorologist with the national weather service. >> you can look ahead to what to expect this week. thank you so much for joining us. we are seeing the winds whip up again and the direction of those winds is really vital here for the firefighters. what do you expect to happen? >> yeah, we are going to see another round of santa ana winds developing on monday. later today into tuesday. and we are looking at a at an extended period of critical fire weather conditions through at least wednesday or thursday, depending upon the areas in southern california. you're you're you're living in. but in general, we're wish we had better news at this point. but we're still in this. and the good news is this this has the potential to be less strong than last week's event. so we're so there is some good news there. but we're we're you know, this one's a little this this particular round of santa ana winds is a little bit more challenging because

reporting at the white house, julia benbrook, cnn. >> still to come, more on our top story, including how the mayor of a town nearly destroyed by a wildfire six years ago, is using his experience to help altadena. plus, some california officials are facing criticism for how they've handled the wildfires. we will talk to a firefighting expert about whether those attacks are fair. back with that and more in just a moment. >> $273. this is how much you spend every month on subscriptions. >> i only have like 2 or 3, right? >> that's what we all think. but in reality there's so much more that we don't even know we're paying for. >> so how do i put more of this cash back in my pocket? >> rocket money is a financial app that shows you every subscription you're paying for, even that one you forgot about from five years ago. >> huh? i can't believe i'm still paying for this. i'll call and cancel right now. whoa whoa whoa. >> i can't even cancel it for you. really? yep. all you have to do is tap a few buttons and they take care of it. download rocket money today. slow down, honey. >> ah! a new

julia vargas jones on the ground for us this morning. julia. very grateful for you. thanks very much for this. all right. let's turn now to this story. today, former president jimmy carter will reach his final resting place in just a few hours. washington, d.c., will gather to say goodbye to the president. peanut farmer and humanitarian. carter's state funeral at the national cathedral, expected to be attended by all the living presidents, including president joe biden, who will deliver the eulogy. president elect trump also expected to be there. he visited carter as he lay in state in the capitol yesterday. later this afternoon, carter will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife of 77 years in the place where it all began for him. >> the plains is my home, you know. i was born there. my wife was born there. when i got out of the navy in 1953, i came back to plains. and then when i got through being governor, i came back to plains. when i got to being president, i came back to plains. and now, no matter where we are in the world, we always looking forward to gettin
