county still, juliette. >> absolutely. you get that sense of urgency with what they're doing on the ground now. we can see on either side of you those homes were spared, but the next question is what's going to happen in the nights to come? fortunately, the homes are still there and they're working feverishly into the night to make sure they're saved with this next round, correct? >> reporter: yeah. that's the really big thing, right? the eaton fire already destroyed thousands of homes. we've been talking about altadena all week and the catastrophe that happened in that town. la quinata flintridge is just up from altadena. no structures were damaged in this area we're in, but they're trying to prevent that from happening because if the winds really pick up, if something were to ignite on the hills right behind these homes, that would spell disaster for this entire area. so they are really doing everything they can to stop that from happening. they only have so many hours until we're expecting those winds to really pick bac

another night of more wind. >> reporter: that is exactly right, juliette. we have been out here pretty much all day at this checkpoint in brentwood, watching homeowners trying to get in. they still have a checkpoint here. they will be out here all night. it is the national guard as well as police. now, they are only allowing in first responders and residents who have a specific permit that they have to get through the city to let them in here. you are talking, though, they are worried the winds can pick up. that is why the area is still under a mandatory evacuation order. that has been frustrating for a lot of homeowners trying to get back into their houses to retrieve a few things. we spoke to a woman who has lived nearby and has not had power for the last week. >> reporter: it has been an exhausting week for eileen and her friend april. >> it is just really. it is very difficult. hard to put into words being displaced like this. >> reporter: she lives in brentwood, april in pasadena. when the eaton fire broke out last week april was forced to evacuate. >>

>> reporter: it is, juliette. it's genuinely surreal to be here. i have covered so many major wildfires across california and the only thing that i can compare in to is almost like the fires in paradise where we saw thousands upon thousands of home wiped off the map because of those winds. when we were talking with some of the crews from santa rosa who went through their own firestorm, they said the one thing they noticed about this area is the amount of wind damage that's here, the number of downed trees, downed roof shingles, things like that. they said they can't imagine what the winds must have been like during the overnight hours tuesday night into wednesday morning when all of this happened, but now such a different picture. we are barely getting any wind gusts and somewhat to be expected because the red flag warning did expire at 6:00 p.m., as you said. >> yeah. that break in the wind is necessary. thank you. we'll see you at 7:00. appreciate all of your reporting. >>> closer to the coast crews are still trying to get a handle on the bigger

juliette: half the nation voted for him and they are going to believe what he says.hat we are in, there will be time for blame and assessment and legal challenges as well as hopefully building changes. right now we are just trying to protect life and the life of firefighters. one way you protect life is people listen to their local authorities. that is do they evacuate or do they not evacuate. all of the complaints you are hearing now. to the extent that you do not want to put a population at war with its local jurisdiction as donald trump did by his implication that this -- it is dangerous. this fire did not just happen this week. this has been decades, centuries of building los angeles as it was built with no requirements on homeowners about how they build, no capacity to deal with major fires if you did not have helicopter capacity. we are seeing a century of public policy not adapting to climate change. it is not a single person's fault no matter how much you might want to nitpick particular things. and there is no fire department more able to deal with a wildlan

first to you, juliette, i just want to go back to the timeline here. you know, look, most revelers were out in this area at midnight, right? celebrating the new year. this event happened at 315 in the morning, and there were many, many casualties. ten dead, more than 30 injured. the barriers that we keep showing this because i'm just struck by this were appears to be those flimsy orange and white barriers, according to the eyewitness and according to video that we have. what do you make of all this? what are the big questions you have? >> so there's going to be yeah. so there's going to be an assessment on what the planning and preparation was and the questions that will be raised are. first you know, was the city deploying or utilizing different security measures because of upgrades or other critical infrastructure that may have made bourbon street more vulnerable? the second, and the one that is always going to be true, is at some stage, resources are deployed. and then according to whatever the plan is, when the threat is viewed as less extreme than

juliette, nice to see you this morning. so, given what you just wrote there, how do you strike the balance between carrying on these large scale events and substantially ramping up security? >> it is a balance, first of all, the primary concern is can the city and public safety officials guarantee the safety and security of the next event, or just the city being open? we've seen over the course of the last two decades, you know, from nice to berlin to to here, lewiston in maine and new england, those cities essentially shutting down in response to terror incidents or major violent incidents. that may be helpful in some instances, but for the most part, if the city can guarantee that the next event is safe and secure, as new orleans has promised, then they then they should proceed. the default is then you're sort of waiting for things to always be safe. that's not going to happen in a city like new orleans. and so what new orleans has to assess now is what kind of changes can they make to the safety and security of the sugar

with juliette goodrich. >> no break for southern california. tonight, firefighters are battling yet another wild fire. that's on top of the devastating fires that have destroyed an estimated 10,000 homes and other buildings. so let's take a live look at the kenneth fire which has grown to 960 acres. it is spread across the border of los angeles and ventura counties, near la's woodland hills and calabasas neighborhoods. officers have blocked off nearby roads to the public. it is currently the third largest active wild fire in the state. here is look at at the fire. some of the homes and neighborhoods, the fire started around 2:30 this afternoon. and quickly blew up in size. due to the strong santa ana winds. so the kenneth fire is burning just north of the other major wild fires. the most destructive of them, the eaton fire which burned parts of pasadena and altadena and the palisades fire along the coast. >>> tonight, we are getting a better look at the scope of the devastation. in fact, this is a look all-star the palisades burn zone. you can

for more on this, i want to bring in juliette kayyem.he's been helping us understand such that we can what has been going on this morning in new orleans. juliette, talk to me about the fbi coming in and now investigating potential ied's potential improvised explosive devices. they didn't say that they had confirmed that they'd found one, but they are looking at this as a possibility. >> yeah. so ied is a very broad term. and to the extent that what's what likely happened is in the car, there are things that could be explosive. there are lots of things in cars. it's a pickup car. we don't know what the perpetrator's employment is. and so they are going to call it an ied. now that's what we would call the federal nexus. that's why the fbi is in charge, because we don't know the intent of the driver. so that's the second question. now, is this term terror, terrorism, intentional violence? look, overall, any rational person would look at this and say, this is terror. this is terror on an american city. a few hours after the new year, ten peo

and juliette, according to our john miller, both the alleged vegas perpetrator here and this new orleans suspect, as andy mentioned, had military backgrounds. so they both appear to be veterans. both electric vehicles, both rented on turo. as andy also noted, their explosive devices in both. i think we should note that although the suspect in new orleans was not able to detonate them before police took him out. there's also potentially some differences here. so where does that lead? investigators as they're looking for further concrete links? yes, i think the connections that you and andy describe, as well as just the fact that they're on the same day, not many hours apart, would would lead any investigator and any federal entity to determine whether there were linkages. >> was there some? coordination around timing and methods and means? but there are also a lot of differences. uh, for one, uh, the second attack in las vegas, sort of you combine elon musk and, and donald trump and the trump tower that suggests someone who had a political focus against, against them or wanted to make a s

juliette, great to see you. so let's talk with that about that video.struck you about that video showing shamsud-din jabbar? yes. part of it is the pace and just he clearly knew what he was doing. >> he clearly had mapped out where he wanted things in the truck. he's spending several minutes to make his point, adding that i.s.i.s. flag, making sure it's not going to fall off. he spends about two minutes securing it. and then i'm curious about why he returns after he sets the fire. as we're reporting, it was a slow moving fire. i do agree that he was probably trying to hide evidence. whatever was in the explosive materials, but he does return. and what was it that he either was that planned or had he forgotten something? the question will always be, did he have an exit strategy for this? we don't know. you know, was he going to, you know, drive on, drive away. that rarely happens in most of these cases. people are are often killed, or at least detained. >> and then what are your thoughts on this? you know, rare organic compound that investigators say the
