Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is you're midday newsfix for Tuesday, the fourteenth of January. Winds are picking up in LA as fire crews continue to battle raging wildfires. At least twenty four people have died in the fires, which have been burning for almost a week. The still active Palisades, Eton and Hurst fires have now been through about one hundred and fifty five square kilometers. That's an area larger than Hamilton, LA. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley says they're preparing for conditions to deteriorate. We are not in the clear as of yet and we must not let our guard down as we have right now extreme fire behavior. David Seymour says he's not once doubted whether his Treaty Principal's Bill campaign was worth it.

He was wearing green prison issued shorts and on orange hi ver's vest. Top O Mayor David Trewaivers says the courts in the CBD surrounded by mainly commercial buildings just very adjacent to it, as the Beautiful Boat Marina at Services Lake Lopol, so there's lots of possibilities. Of course. Police are asking anyone who sees anything suspicious to call one one one. A financial reward for the return of medical supplies stolen from an air ambulance in Otago. Life saving items were taken from the Queenstown Rescue helicopter at Thai Airie Airfield early on Sunday. The aircraft had just been used to transport a critically injured patient to Dunedin Hospital. Helicopter's Otago's CEO, Graham Gale, says the stolen gear is only of value to their teams, which is why they're willing to pay to get it back, as well as for information leading to the culprit.

The Los Angeles Rams have leaned into anything normal that they can muster for their inner NFL Wildcard playoff match against the Minnesota Vikings.
