However, strong winds are forecast to return, and the fire risk remains high. Sixteen people are now known to have died over the past five days.Also on the programme: Sudanese army claims capture of key eastern city from rebels; Donald Trump's expansionist foreign policies, wanting to take over Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal; and we speak to Fernanda Torres, the first Brazilian to win Best Actress Golden Globe Award.(Photo: A firefighter watches as the Palisades Fire, one of simultaneous blazes that have ripped across Los Angeles County.
