Wind has been picking up those embers and those embers have been skipping from house to house. And the other problem were hearing about, Water Pressure, firefighters telling me that they had to let some homes burn because they didnt have enough Water Pressure in some of those hydrants perhaps because of the power outage. Just moments ago, we got the view from above the fire from our affiliate kabc. Real concern because of zero containment on these fires so far. From our station in los angeles hes joining us as hes flying over the creek fire, an incredibly busy day, thank you for being with us tonight. Youre over a very active scene right now, the creek fire. How large is this and what are youre seeing . Well, this fires 11,000 acres right now, david. Well take you outside and show you picture of the creek fire. 11,000 acres. And were using our technology to show you where the fire is burning. And as you can see, theres a lot of smoke obscuring the fire and this is because of the santa
ana conditions. Thats obscuring all the homes down there. We can fade in satellite technology, where we can see the homes that are being affected. This fire has moved extremely fast. 30, 40, mile per hour gusts. Multiple homes have been destroyed, and this fire is very dangerous in this area and theres no relief in sight. Its really something when you actually place the map on top of that smoke to give us an idea of how many families are being affected by this right now. As were on the air. You mentioned those santa ana conditions, the winds tonight fueling these fires. And what are authorities saying onthe ground about the winds . These santa ana winds are very strong. They come down through these canyons and the mountains through Southern California and they rip through these neighborhoods. We usually get them in october. Were having a very late season. In fact, david, if we tilt up, you can actually see the second fire out in ventura county. Well use our pointer right in
this area, thats the thomas fire. Three major fires, all winddriven events. All in the Southern California, burning simultaneously, thousands are affected. Many homes lost. Its a terrible scene out here. Were just trying to stay ahead of it. Were certainly thinking about the families affected by these three separate fires. J. T. , thank you. Thank you, david. And from j. T. To meteorologist rob marciano tonight. Hes also there in the fire zone at this hour. Rob, we can see firefighters putting out hot spots. The flames right behind you, the winds are supposed to keep coming . Reporter they are. These fire crews under structure protection, just came into this area, this has been one of the more explosive regions in the fire zone today. The winds got the flames rolling in a hurry. And you can see these guys hard at work, no doubt about that. The wind is still blowing, smoke, dust, horrible conditions out here. Want to show you the setup, classic santa ana winds. With the High Pressure in control over the mountains. Offshore winds, high fire danger. Weve got the high wind warnings
out tonight. And gusts that should continue. A bit of a break tomorrow morning, but another shot coming tomorrow night by thursday morning, might be a worst setup than it was last night. Not something these firefighters on the ground want to hear. David. Rob, watching this into the night. Be safe, rob. Those firefighters hard at work tonight. The other breaking headline at this hour, President Trump is expected to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel tomorrow. If so, it would be a Momentum Shift in u. S. s foreign policy. And tonight, the president s phone calls with several world leaders, some are very concerned about this move and potential flareups and even the u. S. Military is on alert at some embassies. Abcs Martha Raddatz tonight. Reporter tonight, President Trumps calls to arab leaders one after another prompting new alarm. And this evening, israel is bracing for trouble. Recognizing jerusalem as the
the embassy move could take years. All right, so, lets get to Martha Raddatz with us from washington. As you said there, this announcement expected, making jerusalem the capital of israel. And the move of the u. S. Embassy will take time here, but all of this, already causing concern tonight. Reporter thats right, david, u. S. Officials are already sending warnings about potential widespread demonstrations starting tomorrow, telling american citizens to avoid places where crowds are gathering, while prohibiting u. S. Government employees and their families from entering Jerusalems Old City and marine corps fast teams are being sent to provide extra security at some embassies throughout the region, david. All right, well be watching this tomorrow. In the meantime, the russia investigation. Former National Security adviser mike flynn pleading guilty to lying to the fbi, now cooperating with robert mueller. Tonight, after the president changed his tone in recent days on michael flynn, our reporter asking, is the president
preparing to pardon flynn . Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter with mike flynns plea bargain creating new troubles for the white house, today the president was tightlipped on whether he would pardon his former National Security adviser. Any plans to pardon general flynn, mr. President . Thank you very much. Any plans to pardon general flynn, mr. President . Thank you. Reporter ever since flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi, President Trumps reaction decidedly mixed. From uncertainty do you stand by michael flynn, sir . Well see what happens. Reporter to sympathy. Well, i feel badly for general flynn. I feel very badly. Hes led a very strong life. Hillary clinton lied many times to the fbi. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. Reporter former fbi director james comey testified he had no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton lied. Flynn agreed to cooperate fully with the Special Counsel investigation. And today the White House Press secretary left the door open to a possible pardon. Would he consider pardoning him . Im not aware that has come up or any process or decision on that front. I think before we start discussing the pardons for individuals, we should see, you know, what happens in specific cases too. So, is it fair to say its on the table . No, i just said i havent had the conversation with him because i dont feel that its necessary until you get further down the road and determine whether or not thats even something needed. And cecilia vega back with us live from the white house. Reuters and Bloomberg First Reporting Today that Deutsche Bank has now been subpoenaed by Robert Muellers team, but the president s lawyer saying that subpoena has nothing to do with the president. Reporter david, President Trumps attorney jay sekulow released a statement. Take a look, he said the news reports that the Special Counsel had subpoenaed financial records relating to the president are false. No subpoena has been issued or received. We have confirmed this with the
bank and other sources. Tonight, were also learning about the cost for the first four months of the mueller investigation, 6. 7 million so far, david. Cecilia vega at the white house, thank you. Next to Alabama Senate candidate roy moore and the aboutface from the Republican National committee. Rnc, pulled funding, saying of the multiple women their accusations are quote, very concerning. Suddenly now the rnc now helping him again. So, what changed . And tonight, the one republican senator whos now writing a check to roy moores opponent writing, hes putting country over party. Heres tom llamas in alabama tonight. Reporter for the first time, President Trump today speaking out about his decision to endorse roy moore, a man accused of molesting teenage girls. I think hes going to do very well. We dont want to have a Liberal Democrat in alabama, believe me. Reporter the Republican National committee had cut ties
with moore when the allegations of abuse surfaced. The allegations were obviously very concerning, and concerning to the degree that we pulled our resources. Reporter but following the president s lead, now the rnc is once again helping roy moore. And on capitol hill, other republicans are also falling in line. Senator Mitch Mcconnell once called on moore to drop out. Hes obviously not fit to be in the United States senate. Reporter but then this apparent change in tone. Do you believe that judge moore should be in the senate . Im going to let the people of alabama make the call. Reporter today, mcconnell insists hes been consistent. Yeah, theres been no change of heart. Reporter some republicans still firmly against moore. Senator jeff flake of arizona sending this 100 check to moores democratic opponent doug jones, writing on the memo line country over party. We cant become a party of roy moore as republicans. Reporter moore has denied any accusation of Sexual Misconduct, but with one week before the election, jones is
making sure voters dont forget. I damn sure believe that i have done my part to ensure that men who hurt little girls should go to jail and not the United States senate. [ applause ] tonight, roy moore will have a rally here in fairhope, alabama. Just behind me, supporters are showing up right now. David, we want to point out, even though the rnc is helping out roy moore the National Republican senatorial committee, whose only goal is to help republicans get elected, theyre sticking on the sidelines, and the chairman from colorado saying if roy moore gets elected to the senate he should be expelled. David. One week to go in this race. Tom llamas, our thanks to you again tonight. Next here, Congressman Conyers under growing pressure after multiple allegations of misconduct announcing that hes now retiring effective today.

Heres abcs chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran. Reporter russia, a Winter Olympics powerhouse, triumphant host of the last games in sochi. Tonight, banned from next years competition in south korea because of doping. This is an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the olympic games. Reporter the International Olympic committees ruling means there will be no russian team. No russian flag. No russian uniform. No russian anthem. The scheme exposed by the former head of russias antidoping lab was staggering. The scientist alleging that, during the sochi games, russian intelligence agents posed as maintenance workers, entering the athlete testing lab, then breaking into tamperproof collection bottles and swapping dirty urine for clean samples. A later report concluded more than 1,000 athletes were involved. Vladimir putin has denied it was a statesponsored coverup. Its unclear tonight how the kremlin will respond.
