I think a lot of people will have something to say especially in los angeles where there have been a lot of violent protests. But we want to get to the socalled mountain fire. It is raging in Southern California. Right now emergency officials ordering mandatory evacuation for the resort town of idlewild. Miguel, good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. 6,000 people have been ordered out of this area, some 2200 homes are threatened. This is a fastmoving fire fueled by those explosive dry conditions. Its moving in the direction towards homes. Yesterday afternoon the winds had shifted, light winds pushing it toward the desert. Today we have the winds shifted pushing these flames towards home. We know at least 35 square miles have been charred. This area is a tinderbox. Many of these mountainsides have not burned

Nissa Diederich, most recently the executive vice president of production for Touchstone Television (formerly Fox 21 Television Studios), has been named head of production at 20th Television in the wake of the consolidation of the Walt Disney Company’s TV studios.
Longtime production executive Jim Sharp, who had served as 20th’s production head and spent decades at the company previously known as 20th Century Fox, will depart the studio at the end of the year after assisting with the transition. Known as a smart, seasoned executive, Sharp’s oversight on productions at Fox dates back to shows such as “Malcolm in the Middle” and FX’s “The Shield.”
