Southern california is at this hour a hot zone, a blaze in a very early and very dangerous start to the wild fire season. Sparked by the severe drought that has already engulfed 100 of the state. Right now firefighters are still battling at least nine wild fires north of san diego. More than 20,000 acres already devoured tens of thousands of residents forced to three, and experts worrying that we should expect more of this as our climate changes. Here is america tonights adam may. Only crackles sound of a wild fire. Its the sound that has been all too familiar for californians. A little smaller in the state of connecticut, jerry brown has declare add state of emergency putting up much needed resources. With crews stretched thin, firefighters have more air support on thursday. The wild fires are fueled by crisp brittle project. And notorious santa anna winds. I have been in this fire service, i havent seen think dry this hot for this long, and may. The biggest concern is the san marcus fire, its fire behavior is still eradek spotting out in front of itself. To keep people safe out there. Hundreds of weary firefighters are on the ground braving the intense heat from the flames and glaring sun. In the air, aircraft and helicopters. The air tanker which can drop 12,000 gallons of err tar dent taking center stage. Its already been a frightening week for residents. Oh my god. The wild fires are moving at an alarming rate, this drama unfolded wednesday, in carlsbad. It is jumping the road right here. You can see the flames probably 3040 feet in the air right now. Some residents are not heeding the warning to leave, opting instead to stay and fight. They have been asking to evacuate, and just trying to prepare perhaps embers or something might carry over into god knows what, but definitely trying to prevent a nightmare. The San Diego County sheriff said on thursday, investigators try to find a cause of the blazes are also considering arceson. Temperatures are expected to drop as we approach the end of the week, but firefighters are not taking any chances. The conditions we are seeing right now are normally what we would see in sent or october, so yes we are prepared for the worse, and we have to expect thats what we have to look for, we will have a large wild fire. The states Fire Fighting agent i, there may 10th there have been more than 1300 fires. In comparison, last year during the same time period, there were just over 1,000 fires. With more than 15,000 acres blackened. With each year, the wild fire season seemed to be started earlier and ending later. The u. S. Forest season says fire season is now two months longer than it was back in the early 1970s. Scientists blame climate change. And spreading suburbs. The combination of a longer fire season, and a long hot summer of water shortages, and officials in california hoping for an el nino event. Thats when warmer than normal temperatures in the Pacific Ocean effected jet stream, and that can lead to wetter winters. It often results in a mild winter. A lot of rainfall for california. And the blackened baron foot hits of california a strong el nino event would most likely equate to devastating mudslides. Adam may, al jazeera. Correspondent jennifer is standing by now. The scene, you are showing us here, really devastated. It is. This is a home that burned down this time yesterday. Its in the carlsbad fire area, the homeowner who lived here stayed behind besides the mandatory evacuation odderrer and tried to save his home, and it was a losing battle. A little further away the san marcus fire is burning and that has been picking up in the last hour or so. We are being told some structures are burning they are on fire. And even though overnighty did get a little bit of head way made on that fire, they were authorized to do night drops at the helicopter, they did about 45 of those, which they have to get special permission to fly at night, but they managed to do it. Two big fire area, but thats the one that is really blowing up right now, and of main concern, to fire officials here in San Diego County. We have heard from the weather experts in all of this, part of the factor here is about the heat, and the dry conditions and the wind that we see picking up around you. It is eerratic. It is unpredictable, and that makes it really difficult. The humidity has been incredible. Last night we checked it it was 3 , you walk outside, you can feel it on your skin, your nails are cracking it is a difficult environment for firefighters, that are dealing with anything, that can throw a spark. The sparks are flying on this wind, landing miles away and ignites new fires. So thats been a concern. The good news is they are expecting a change in the wind, a shift, the onshore ocean breeze which will bring more moisture and hopefully some relief. When we return protests havent stopped them. Every saturday, Al Jazeera America brings you controversial. Both parties are owned by the corporations. Entertaining its fun to play with ideas. Thought provoking get your damn education.

I want to know what works what do you know works . Conversations you wont find anywhere else. Talk to al jazeera. Only on Al Jazeera America. Oh my sparked by last weeks botched execution, apologies show that support for the Death Penalty has been kindling for years. Long before clayton locket writhed and struggled through his he that will injection. Nowhere are executions more popular than in texas, which is home to more executions than any other state, and even there we find there are growing doubts. A close ceremony look at crime and the it mat punishment. This scene, outside the old downtown huntsville, has become a familiar ritual. Far too familiar for the small group gathering. This evening the life of yet another Texas Prisoner is scheduled to end. It seems like the state of texas thinks this is blessed by god. Executing people is blessed by god. Reverend jeffery hood has been coming to executions in huntsville for nearly two years. On this day, he and a friend drove more than four hours to bear witness. It is a long drive, almost four hours. And today i just remember praying over and over again, that god might intervene. He was convicted in the abduction and murder of a houston woman. He shot her in a field and left her to die. 515 executions since 1976, when capitol punishment was reinstated. Jason clark is is with the Texas Department of criminal justice. The jury saw the photos they heard the testimony from the individuals weighed all of the evidence, and ultimately convicted this individual, and sentenced them to death. So at the end othe day i remember there are victims involved. That someone was killed and so that often times puts it back into perspective. This is a company town, so are seven prison. The biggest tourest attraction, a Museum Dedicated to the texas penal system. Here alongside mock jail cells about bonnie and collide, sits the states old electric chair. The museums director is jim willett. I know we passed the 500 number of doing he that will injections here in the state of texas just a few months ago. Way have never had a problem, we will keep operating the same way. He used to be the warden he supervised 89 executions. I didnt like having to deal with the executions at all, but i saw it as my job, and try to do my part in it the best i could. It is the unusualness of it all. You have a fellow lying on a gurney in front of you, that is perfectly healthy, and a little bit that fella will be dead. Willett isnt the only former texas official who is now reflecting ban on his daying enforcing the Death Penalty. Would you say that now you are softer on the Death Penalty than you were when you were governor . I think i am wider. For that he served five years as attorney general. Are you now convinced that innocent people have been put to death . Yes. No question. No question. If you are going to keep doing it you out to abolish it. White once strongly supported the Death Penalty, as governor he oversaw 19 executions. But now he believes the legal process, that the innocent are too easily condemned. In a erecent article he called it a crisis. In your article, you sited a study from the National Academy of sciences, that study says one in 25 people may be executed incorrectly. Is that number tolerable . No. One in any number that you put in the nominator it doesnt matter what it is, one is one too many. Nationwide about 3,000 inmates are sitting on death row that study by the National Academy of sciences suggests about 120 of them are likely to be innocent. How long were you on death row . I was on death row 12 1 2 years. Few know more about that than anthony. Falsely accused of killing six people by the man who committed the murders. A texas jury sentenced him to death, in 1994. What was daily like life . Hell. Whatever you think hell is for you, i lived that 365 day as year. How difficult is it for you to spend 18 years there, knowing that you had not committed this crime . It was really difficult. Every day i had a threat of being executed hanging over my head. So there was no walk in the park, it was very very hard. So many times i wanted to give up. Instead of giving up, he insisted that he was innocent, after a judge ordered a new trial, a new team of prosecutors didnt even botched execution tore go forward. They dismissed the charges. In 2010, 18 and one half years after his arrest, he walked out of prison a freeman. What does the story after on thanny graves say . The story of anthony graves says we should point practicing the Death Penalty. You took a man from his home. Who was with his family, who had alibi witnesses, who was in another town, who didnt even know the people that you were accusing him of murdering. And you put him on death row. A man who didnt know anything act me. Like former governor white, graves believes inadequate legal representation, and racial bias are often to blame. We are going to continue to make mistakes as long as we are practicing the Death Penalty. The question should be, and we live with it. Recent executions in oklahoma and ohio are also fueling concerns. Including the error tracted death of oklahoma inmate clayton locket, a convicted killer. He died of an apparent heart attack, 43 minutes after oklahomas he that will injection drugs failed to kill him. Prison officials fry add new drug combination, that they had never used before, because pharmaceutical companies are increasingly reluctant to supply drugs for executions. Some people call it a botched execution. That wasnt a botched execution, that was cruel and inhumane treatment. The spca does a better jonathan we are doing in oklahoma and some other states. In putting animals to death. Thats right. Oklahoma has a three drug protocol. Texas, uses a single drug. Our protocol calls for a he that will dose of pinto bash toll. We have used that protocol since 2012, and if carried out 33 executions without incident. Campbells lawyers use the oklahoma controversial to seek a temporary halt. That did not work. But another argument that campbell is mentally incompetent did. With little more than two hours to go, campbells life was spared. At least for now. Meanwhile, the grim work inside these walls is schedule today go on, next in line, man wealth vazquez, convicted of killing a low level drug dealer on levels from a corymbose. In august, he is planning to make the four hour drive back to huntsville. When that execution takes place,ly be standing on that corner praying that will be the last time i stand on that corner, but until the executions stop, i will stand on that corner. Why does the federal government take a stronger hand. Richer joins froes the Death Penalty information center. I guess that is the heart of it, theres so many circumstances in which the state seems to be having trouble coming one uniform guidance, protocols, even the specific drugs that are involved. Why does didnt federal government take a hand in saying this is how lit be done . Traditionally it has been left to the states and farce the federal government is concerned a state could not have a Death Penalty at all, and once it gets involved it leans the states one way or the other, this is what the federal system would do. So you should have it. And they dont want any part of that. And it clear, though, with respect to the he that will injection drugs who would be responsible for making any kind of decision about what drugs can be used or how they should be administers . They have been told they have to monitor any imported drugs. But they have said they dont want to approve any drugs or not approve, its not their role. They would have to be new legislation, i think to get the food and Drug Administration involved and with congress, thats just not likely to happen. Seven. The federal Death Penalty does apply as well, though, but it is not used very often. Thats right. So there is a federal Death Penalty that covers all states and they have their own execution chamber, and have used their own drugs. But thats a small percentage. Theres 3,000 people on the states death row. Theres only been three federal executions in the past 40 years. What other is there other federal oversite . Well, there is a food and Drug Administration, has some control over what are called compounding pharmacies. When they act as manufacturers producing thousands of drugs, but not the individual things that texas or oklahoma needs. Its licensed in the statement but not on a federal level. Is there an indication that anybody should be, whether there could be or not, but should be more federal oversight. How things are administers in what the process is . Well, when all of this started some of the states wrote a letter, a joint letter to eric holder and washington to try to get help. Because they couldnt find the drugs and they felt that maybe there were some help in getting them imforted or something. The Justice Department said no, we dont our own drugs and we wont get involved. I do think theres some basic rights here. Constitutional rights. We wouldnt experiment on prisoners for example. With some new degrees that have never been tried against they will, but thats essentially what is being done with the execution drugs. So i think there are some civil rights matters and that could involve federal authorities or the courts. And the courts cutting into it as well, the Death Penalty information center, thank you very much. Thank you. The criminal Justice System is the focus of a new original documentary system here.
