Fast-moving Southern California wildfire burns homes and forces thousands to flee
A fast-moving wildfire in Southern California quickly consumed hundreds of acres and burned multiple homes after sparking in Orange County Friday, county officials said. The Norte Fire began around noon near a neighborhood in the San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano areas and by Friday evening had grown to 570 acres, the Orange County Fire Authority said. Its one of several fires that have broken out since Thursday amid fierce Santa Ana winds affecting Southern California. Our actions today will be to continue to attack the fire and work toward getting residents home as soon as its safe to so do, Orange County Fire Authority Captain Greg Barta said Saturday morning in a video on X . Topography and weather conditions allowed the fire to grow rapidly, Orange County Division 3 Fire Chief Mark Backoff said in a video posted to social media Friday afternoon. Six homes have been destroyed or damaged by the fire, and two firefighters suffered significant injuries but are stable in area hospitals, fire officials said. Evacuation orders were issued for multiple areas in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano, encompassing roughly 4,600 homes and 16,000 people, Orange County Fire Authority Chief TJ McGovern said. Officials asked residents to be patient as they evaluate when it will be safe to return home. Officials said progress had been made against the fire by the evening but warned conditions remained volatile. A majority of the fire has been knocked down. However, we still have some homes that have been impacted here, and as you can see, the wind is still blowing pretty strong up here, Orange County Fire Authority spokesperson Steve Concialdi said. The fire is now 5% contained as of Saturday morning. Crews objective is keeping the fire within its current footprint, McGovern said at a news conference Friday evening. Aerial footage from CNN affiliate KCBS showed multiple houses burning Friday afternoon. Resident Robert Morris called the sudden threat to homes a wake-up call, telling KCBS, Ive lived here since 1995, and this is the first time weve really ever had a fire in this area. US Rep. Mike Levin, a Democrat whose district includes part of Orange County, said his family had to evacuate their San Juan Capistrano home while he attended an event nearby. Levin thanked firefighters for preventing greater damage from the fire and said year-round wildfire season has become the new normal for Southern California. Cars drive along Interstate 5 towards the Norte Fire in San Juan Capistrano, California, on October 16. Evacuation orders have been issued for parts of Orange County. - Patrick T. Fallon/AFP/Getty Images Orange County sheriffs deputies were going door to door in areas under evacuation order, telling people to leave for their safety, Sgt. Lizbeth Gwisdalla, a spokesperson for the sheriffs department, told CNN. Ten schools were dismissed early out of an abundance of caution and sports and after-school programs were canceled, Capistrano Unified School District announced . Wind gusts in the area reached 25 mph Friday afternoon and remained elevated into the evening. The Santa Ana winds were expected to peak Friday but remain elevated through Saturday and then diminish later in the weekend. Were going to be here for a number of days, Concialdi said of the ongoing danger, stressing the need to guard against new fires that could erupt from embers blown by the strong Santa Ana winds. Fires spark across Southern California Several fires have broken out since Santa Ana winds began Thursday, forcing evacuations in other areas of Southern California. In Malibu, more than 7,000 structures were in areas under evacuation orders or warnings on Friday because of the Bryson Fire, which has burned roughly 150 acres and is 52% contained since starting Thursday evening, a Los Angeles County Fire spokesperson told CNN, estimating the number of people under evacuation orders to be in the hundreds. Crews make a stand in front of the Bryson Fire in Malibu, California, on Thursday, Oct. 15. - Jae C. Hong/AP Crews made great progress against the fire overnight, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said during a news conference Friday morning. At least one firefighter had minor injuries and was taken to the hospital, he said. The chief did not provide additional details except to say, Theyve been on the line all night, so minor injuries are expected. The fire is still threatening more than 100 structures in the area, but no damages have been reported. But obviously, if the winds kick up later this afternoon and we were to lose containment of the fire, a larger area could be affected and under threat, the chief said. Over 400 firefighters and more than 75 ground and aerial resources are committed to the Bryson Fire, he said. Another wildfire to the south has burned more than 3,000 acres near the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton since igniting Thursday afternoon, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( Cal Fire ). The Henderson Fire forced a temporary evacuation order for one area of the base Thursday and the closure of a nearby portion of Interstate 5 in San Diego County, the Marine Corps said in a statement Friday. Smoke affected visibility along both sides of the highway Friday afternoon, the California Highway Patrol said. The fire is 35% contained as of Saturday morning, according to Cal Fire . The Camp Pendleton Fire Department and Cal Fire continue to actively fight the fire, but it was burning in a remote section of the base and there were no active threats to personnel or facilities, the Marine Corps statement Friday said. The dangerous fire conditions in Southern California have also prompted utility companies to temporarily shut off power for tens of thousands over concerns that equipment could spark fires.

Trump's Russian oil tariff waiver offers India relief, but experts warn of renewed US pressure
US President Donald Trump's decision to waive additional tariffs of 100 per cent on major buyers of Russian oil has provided immediate relief to India, reducing the risk of fresh trade penalties and offering Indian refiners greater flexibility in crude purchases. However, experts warned that the benefits remain uncertain and will depend on global oil prices, supply conditions and future US trade policy. Trump signed an Executive Order on Friday implementing the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, while simultaneously waiving several sanctions and additional duties under the legislation. The order provides for additional tariffs of 100 per cent on goods from the five largest importers of Russian crude oil and natural gas making fresh purchases from October 18, but suspends their application through a presidential waiver. Pursuant to section 115(a) of the Graham Act, I hereby waive the application of any duties provided for in sections 112 and 113 of the Graham Act...

Trump says neither he or Musk are to blame for Ukraine drone issues
Ukraine is still unable to use its interceptor systems against Russian drones, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday, because of speed restrictions imposed on Starshield, an upgraded military version of Elon Musk's Starlink, amid an ongoing row with President Trump. Unfortunately, we can't use Starlink or Starshield technology on our territory today to shoot down jet-powered Shaheds, Zelenskyy said in an online group chat with reporters at the EU Summit. They fly, and we can stop them with aircraft and other air defense, but we don't use Starlink for that, unfortunately. God willing, this will be restored. Zelenskyy said Kyiv was discussing the issue with U.S. officials, and he was told the restrictions were linked to technical issues. The Ukrainian president added, however, that Starlink appears to be operating at higher speeds on European Union territory. Yes, we are in dialogue at the level of the military, the Ministry of Defense and diplomats, in touch with everyone including SpaceX. Nobody there is answering our military or the Ministry of Defense now, Zelenskyy said. At various levels they say these are technical problems. Here (in Ukraine) Starlink works up to a speed of 161 km/h, then shuts off, he continued. In the EU it works at 180-plus and works constantly. Here it shuts off in the second minute after 161 km/h and stops working. We lose both drones and connectivity. Mr. Trump told reporters on Friday he had not limited Ukraine's access to Starlink, adding he didn't believe Musk, SpaceX's CEO, was responsible either. Well, I don't know if it was anybody because it wasn't me, and I don't think it was Elon, Mr. Trump said while leaving the White House to travel for a rally in Georgia. And from what I understand, it's the same as it's always been. Musk said Wednesday he isn't responsible for deciding how Starshield is used, writing on X: Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. Starshield is essential to Ukraine's armed forces as it allows personnel to communicate and carry out strikes, including by maintaining contact with drones across long distances. On Saturday, Zelenskyy said Russia carried out a large attack on Ukraine's energy sector, targeting more than 15 critical power generation and transmission facilities across the country. A day earlier, the president said the current restrictions on Starshield had left people vulnerable to Russian drones, which was very painful and frustrating Ukrainian officials and soldiers told CBS News the country's military began experiencing sudden difficulties with Starshield equipment late Tuesday, including speed limits that made it more difficult to carry out missions with fast-moving drones. Sources in Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said SpaceX had unilaterally imposed the Starshield restrictions. Mr. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Zelenskyy in recent days, blaming the war between Russia and Ukraine for high global energy prices. The Trump administration waived restrictions on buying Russian diesel last week in an effort to ease pressure, a move Zelenskyy argued could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a social media post on Saturday, Zelenskyy called the move unfortunate, adding the act, championed by late Sen. Lindsey Graham, could have helped enormously. Later, he told journalists he believed the Trump administration will lift more sanctions on Russia. Unfortunately, the lifting of sanctions will continue. I believe the 'diesel deal' is just the first step, Zelenskyy told reporters. CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment. Mr. Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop striking each other's energy infrastructure announcing an energy ceasefire over the weekend. Zelenskyy initially said Ukraine was willing to abide by such an agreement, but that Russia's strikes never ceased, and several days later he told the Financial Times his country would no longer hold off on striking Russian refineries because Russia was still attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The Russian government never confirmed it had agreed to a ceasefire. In a Newsmax interview late Thursday, Mr. Trump called Zelenskyy not a good guy for us to deal with, argued Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries would be a disgrace, urged both sides to make a deal and said the Ukrainian leader is harder to deal with than Putin. I'm not a big fan of Zelenskyy, Mr. Trump said. On Wednesday, Musk had tweeted : Time for Zelensky to go.
