those fires continue to blaze there has been an unlikely silver lining thanks in part to social media and cleaver joins me now in studio you know i had of course the u.s. just so divided right now but it looks like these fires are potentially bring people together thanks to the magic of twitter yes it's people using twitter to exchange information about where their loved ones may or may not be where they could go where they could find people who have gone missing but also the people who cool tucked in the finest where they could go where they could take the animals this is a relatively rural area that's been affected there are plenty of horses cats dogs that also need to be taken care of and a huge driver it's in this has been active james woods who's two time oscar nominee has star of films like a c no a nixon won once upon a time in america and has also been famous recently first political stunts he's a strong trumps the pool i serve on twitter particularly very much but he's got nearly two million followers on twitter so he's got this huge audience now if we can bring up the first tweet that we have got to pet you can see that with his talking. there we go it's he's talking about how he's been motioning the force of his twitter follower and creating a high tech bullet. board for fire information and this kind of thing can really help people tag each other re tweet stuff and create networks of confidence comfort contacts and information which then passed on if we can bring up the next tweet now you can see that it's actually been working with the second tweet is it going to come up it is there we go a man called paul fisher tweeted. rather james would tweeted at paul fisher that his signal for help in trying to find his mother has worked and that they've located her she's been rescued she's fine so this was james was actually telling paul there on twitter hey be found your family member exactly through his massive network on twitter these two million people who are then using their networks so that's how the whole thing actually functions but then it starts become kind of coming to political one of the people that contacted this network an actress called alyssa milano who i didn't know this until recently but she was in who's the boss and melrose twit place is what many people would call a she's very left wing she's you know an activist in many different things and altering up to movement even i think role of that yeah not the normal kind of ally of somebody like james puts now she contacted that network and got information about how she could move her family and her five horses to safety if we can bring up the next tweet that we found on james woods is feed his followers we're not very happy about his network being used to help somebody that they are politically completely opposed to and one of you can see on the bottom one of the one of his followers and why would you want to help somebody like her and james would back him back in this because her animals in danger because she needs help a vis for a second with a kind of moment of unity on twitter in this very divided situation in the u.s. one of his followers one of which aims with his followers a guy if you see in the new. next week he calls himself marine one obviously a very strong supporter of james woods he calls this a moment of human clarity we interrupt our regularly scheduled program for something nice that was quite cool to find it's like a moment of togetherness in the u.s. an unlikely source there twitter not always the source of people coming
