LA fires burn out-of-control as thousands evacuated from homes | BBC News
Wildfires are ripping across parts of Los Angeles, leading to at least five deaths and burning down hundreds of buildings.
Nearly 180,000 LA residents have been told to evacuate and authorities say they’re doing what they can to ascertain if any more people have died.
The Palisades fire, one of the five still burning, is thought to be “one of the worst natural disasters in the history of LA” – it now covers covering 17,200 acres and is 0% contained.
Officials are hopeful that the “tide is turning”, with LA’s city fire chief saying winds – which helped the fires to spread – are forecast to “subside” today, and aerial firefighting allowed to resume.

The wife of a Ukrainian prisoner of war explains how Russia attempted to recruit her for sabotage.
The 42-year-old had been waiting for news of her husband Dima, an army medic captured by Russia, for more than two years when she suddenly received a phone call.
The voice at the end of the phone told her that if she committed treason against Ukraine, Dima could be eligible for better treatment in prison, or even early release.
Later, the Security Service of Ukraine told Svitlana that the man she’d been talking to was indeed in Russia, and she should break off contact.
In a statement to the BBC, the Security Service of Ukraine said co-operating with Russian agents “will in no way ease the plight of the prisoner; on the contrary, it may significantly complicate their chances of being exchanged.”
