Thousands of LA residents evacuate from raging wildfires
Evacuated Los Angeles residents stared at the thick cloud of black smoke blotting out the sun, scarcely able to believe the scale of the wildfires, and fearing that their homes could be destroyed next. The residents gathered near the upscale Pacific Palisades where devastating flames first broke out among multi-million dollar mansions on Tuesday. Residents continue to evacuate from the upscale neighborhoods, or return briefly to collect their belongings. Wind gusts spread the flames as police with megaphones orders bystanders to "leave the area now."

Carter lies in state before national funeral

The body of late US president Jimmy Carter was transferred Tuesday in a grand and solemn military ceremony to the US Capitol, where it will lie in state until a national funeral later this week. Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100, served from 1977 to 1981 and was widely praised for his post-presidential humanitarian efforts, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His body arrived at the snow-covered US Capitol, where it will remain in the Rotunda until Thursday, after a full day of ceremonious travel that began in his native Georgia.

Canada vow to fight US for independence

In light of remarks from President-elect Donald Trump focused on acquiring Canada, Canadians have expressed their willingness to stand up and fight against a US invasion. Trump's public prodding of Canada began in November with threats to implement a 25% tariff on all Canadian products sold in the US, followed by suggestions that Canada could become the 51st state. The idea, initially taken as a joke, has been repeatedly brought up by Trump, leading many to question how seriously to consider the threat to Canadian independence.
