The latest news from around the world. The latest news from around the world. Facing, not just the temperatures, the Daytime Temperatures in the redding area are in excess of 105 and closer to 110 degrees. And it that is taxing to the firefighters. Let alone the heat that the fire generates and all that plays into the fire behavior and i talked to many veteran firefighters in the wildland arena and heard almost verbatim from every one of them that the fire behave yoior that they witnessed and experienced on thursday evening into friday morning, they had never seen before. And these are Men And Women that have many, many years of experience and training under their belts. Climate change is making an impact. I was reading hear since 2012 there has not been a month without a Wildfire Burning in the state and the governor has called this a new normal. This is a completely different situation that anyone is trained
for. I know we have more video that you have also supplied to us to show firefighters going down a highway, you see flames on both sides of the highway. The question is, how do you sustain this . How do these brave Men And Women work in these conditions and, you know, were looking at a huge swath of the state. These arent just small pockets. No, no, theyre not, natalie. In fact there is two other fires in the Mendocino Area and lake county areas that have just sparked up today that are causing a lot of concern, but the video youre seeing, what youre those are highly trained Men And Women, the equipment that they have, both the personal protective gear and the Fire Apparatus are it is all designed to accomplish one goal and that is to suppress the fire and protect our water shed and protect our citizens. And i can tell you that if you
and i were caught out on that road that were watching, the firefighters working through, and it was you and i, we were trying to escape, our chances of surviving would be very little. It is terrifying to think that there are actually people working in these conditions and driving through these conditions. In fact, i have a quote here from the Redding Police chief that says this fire is scary to us, this is something we havent seen before in the city. And i just have to say, our thoughts are with all of the people that are working in this situation. Unprecedented times. And situations that no one could actually be prepared for, but they certainly are brave and i know the people there in california appreciate their work so much. Brian rice, we thank you so much for your time and we hopefully will talk with you again and hopefully things will get better before they get worse. Thank you. Thank you, natalie. Good night. Natalie, to your point, the video, the images terrifying to
see. You can only imagine what it is like for the people dealing with it. Our meteorologist derek van dam here to tell us about the fire and, of course, the conditions around it. Unfortunately weather is coming together to create this almost recipe for disaster for these fires to continue to spread. We have got temperatures in the triple digits. We have got gusty winds, especially on those ridge tops. We have a drought that is intensifying. And there is no chances of rain today or anytime in the future. So we have got a difficult situation Going Forward to say the least. Here is the latest, the car fire, we keep focusing on this one, because it is over 83,000 acres that have been burned, 5 containment, newest fire stats to cnn from ferguson and cranston fire, theyre gaining some ground, thats good news. Our hats we tip our hats to the firefighters, the volunteers and the professionals there, because, wow, theyre working so hard. Here is what it looks like from a plane. This is the 30,000 foot billow
of smoke sent into the sky from the car fire in around redding. You see it from space as well. Satellite imagery picking up on the smoke and cloud as well. You heard the firefighter a moment ago on that interview with natalie about the spotting. And this is a term they use because we get strong winds that take the embers from the tops of the hillsides and throw them several hundred feet in advance of the fire. Thats how new fires start. It is not only that, but it is also phenomenons like this. This is called a Firenado Or Fire Whirl or fire vortex, all the same, interchangeable. Look how it is picking up individual embers and tossing them across the street. You can imagine that is starting new fires well in advance of that fire. How does this form . We get rising air from very intense heat from fires. That air needs to be replaced. With that replacement of air
causes vortices, swirling motions. With the fire already in place, it starts to suck this up into the sky and looks like a tornado. It picks up the embers and creates the spot fires. And therefore our fires continue to spread. This is the forecast for redding. Look at the triple digit heat, absolutely no rainfall, timber dry across this region and equally as hot across the entire western u. S. As we speak. The erratic winds continue. This is the recipe for disaster. This is the perfect storm for fire conditions, extreme heat continues, and while you can see the National Weather service continues to issue red flag warnings in and around shasta county, on top of that, this is also creating a Pollution Risk as well across the sacramento valley, it captures a lot of the smoke and haze into the sky. All right, derek, well stay in touch with you. Thank you, derek. Another story were following, ten people were killed when a strong earthquake

She was jailed late last year after being filmed kicking and slapping an israeli soldier. The 17yearold palestinian has been released from an israeli prison and is back in her village in the west bank. Lets get more on this from cnns Oren Lieberman who joins us live from jerusalem. She became a symbol for the palestinian cause after her arrest. Tell us about her release and what shes had to say. Reporter a symbol and a hero, i would say. It seems her legend has grown since that arrest and since she became famous in 2012 when a picture emerged of her holding up a fist to an israeli soldier. She was released early this morning from a prison in Central Israel after serving eight months in prison. In march, she pleaded guilty in a plea deal to charges of incitement and disrupting a soldier. Eight of the 12 charges against her were dropped in a case her lawyer said had much more to do
with politics than with actual legal issues. She was taken from that prison, through a west Bank Crossing to her village where she very much got a heros welcome. Dozens of her supporters surrounded her, just as many members of the media it seems, supporters waving the palestinian flag and flags, Chanting Slogans in support of her. And then she made a very short statement, she said, from our home the resistance is continuing until the end of the occupation. She said a few more words and then urged everyone to come to a scheduled Press Conference she has for a little later on this afternoon. After making that short stop in her village, she went to ramallah, the president ial compound, and visited the grave of Palestinian LeaderYasser Arafat to pay her respects. Soon we expect her to be back on her way to the village where she will make those remarks. Interesting to see what she has to say after this time. Israel certainly got criticized for its treatment and arrest of a minor. Has the government had anything to say about her release . Reporter israel faced tremendous criticism, this case was very much a Lightning Rod for criticism of the israeli military, the Military Court system and its handling of palestinian youth. There were statements back during her arrest when the Defense Minister had said those who go wild during the day will be arrested at night. He very much supported the actions of the Israeli Soldiers and her arrest. It is worth noting that the incident itself happened a few hours after another israeli soldier had shot her cousin in the face with a rubber bullet, severely injuring him. Since then, since the plea deal in march, and now, we havent heard nearly as much from israeli officials. Well see if they make statements today. Well report them. As of right now israel would like this case to go away quickly and quietly, but by the looks of it it is not going to do. Dont think so. She was there with her mother and father who have been with her throughout this ordeal. As you say, shell be holding a news conference, well wait and see what else she has to say. Oren lieberman covering it for us, thank you. Russia is putting on a show of its Military Strength and the spectacle has geopolitical significance. Moscow is kicking off the International Army games and its navy day, a Public Holiday in russia. Moments ago, we saw president Vladimir Putin inspecting some of russias newest equipment designed to challenge the u. S. And nato. The showcase also serves as an international reminder of who russias allies are. Lets talk more about that with Cnn Senior International correspondent Fred Pleitgen following the story by phone now from st. Petersburg. A very important show of force, what does it mean for the domestic audience there in russia and also for people outside of russia, which audience is being targeted outside the borders . Im across from Vladimir Putin, hes speaking now. This has big significance both here for the russian audience and as you stated and also audiences abroad, specifically western countries as well. One of the things that we have been seeing over the past couple of weeks, we have seen that better relationship between President Trump and president putin talking about the disarmament, nuclear disarmament, better relations between the two countries, u. S. And russia. We keep that especially in the u. S. , there are a lot of people who are very averse to that. One thing that with those army games and especially today, what were seeing here right now, with naval display of force, theyre saying, look, you can have better relations with us, you have to understand we are still a very Strong Military force. The russians have been spending a lot of time and money over the last couple of years, upgrading their forces, especially their navy. Certainly something theyre putting on display here. If you look at the new things theyre going to be playing here after these games, they have a
stealth frigate inspected by Vladimir Putin, they have a submarine called the carrier killer designed to destroy, especially, of course, aircraft carrier, the russians are saying on the one hand, they want better relations, but on the other hand, theyre saying their forces are being upgraded all the time. Fret pleitgen on the phone with us. As you look at Vladimir Putin, talking about russias military mite, Fred Pleitgen following the story, tell us more about one piece that is certainly missing this time, were seeing a lot of things on display, but notably one thing not part of the lineup. Yeah. Look, absolutely right. That is something that is very important here. One thing that the russian president of course has been saying over the past couple of days, past couple of weeks, he
wants better relations with the united states. Thats something the russians are focussing on. He was speaking about we hear the Russian Troops cheering on Vladimir Putin after his speech, talking about how they want better relations, President Trump to come to russia. Of course, it is something that the russians think is very, very difficult in the current Political Climate in the u. S. And russia as well. We have a Cannon Salute going on after Vladimir Putin gave his speech. Following this story live, as youre looking at live images there in st. Petersburg, russia, russia showing off its military force. Within the country, people watching there. And the world watching as well. Thank you for the reporting. Want to turn to pakistan now. It looks more and more like imran khan will be the next prime minister. Election Officials Say his movement for Justice Party won
the most seats in wednesdays general election. Khan declared victory days ago, but he doesnt have an outright majority. He will need allies to form a coalition and that could be tricky. Khan is a National Hero from his cricket days, but many of his rivals say the vote was fixed. Thats in part because he is viewed as the militarys favorite candidate. Nick paton walsh has more on khan from islamabad. Reporter an historic sight, imran khan is close to becoming pakistans new prime minister. After a bitterly fought election that turned pakistans tightly controlled political order and casting the Sporting Icon as a sometimes antiamerican force for change. Born into a wealthy family, khan soon discovered his gift as a
fast bowler, leaving pakistan to its first and only Cricket World Cup victory in 1992. And khan to become a National Hero in a country where cricket is always worshipped and politicians often reviled. He retired from the sport, and after a spell as international playboy, he married his first wife, wealthy london socialist jumana khan. A family man, he raised money for charities, building a Cancer Hospital in his home city. But back in the turmoil, injustice of 90s pakistan, his political ambitions grew. Founding a new party, the Pakistan Movement for justice, his central pitch, to end corruption among the countrys ruling elite. Pakistani politics has few empires or rules, though, and is often marred by violence and coups. He was briefly arrested in 2007 for criticizing pervez musharraf. A month later, a political rival, former prime minister
benazir bhutto was assassinated on the campaign trail. Still, khan kept his sights on the premiership, by 2013, he could marshal huge crowds and win the vote in one pakistani province. He remained a distant third, however, nationwide. His conservatism grew as well. Religious, Panning American interference and favoring pakistans drastic and sometimes brutal blasphemy laws. This year, he wrote a populist wave, promising to fight for equality and get tough on terror. His vision, he says, is for a new pakistan. What that means, his critics dont know. Not clear what he wants to do. He wants to change the system. But nobody knows exactly what kind of change would he bring . Reporter his supporters think any change is good. Translator we are supporting imran khan because he promised to stop corruption in pakistan. We are hopeful we will have a Better Future and our children will have a Better Future. Translator this is the first time anyone treated us as human beings, we have rights too. We n
