Latin American Herald Tribune: Sri Lankan President Dissolves Parliament amid Grave Political Crisis

PRN-Latino News from mikenova (16 sites)
Sri Lankan President Dissolves Parliament amid Grave Political Crisis COLOMBO – Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena dissolved on Friday the island-nation’s parliament shortly after announcing that his party had failed to obtain a majority in the legislative chamber backing the recent firing and replacement of the prime minister.Sirisena signed the order dissolving the 225-member unicameral parliament – which he had already suspended for more than two weeks in late October – after his Sri Lanka Freedom Party was unable to secure the support of a majority of lawmakers to ratify the cessation of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesingh, who was to be replaced by Mahinda Rajapaksa.The president’s move paves the way for an upcoming snap election that would take place almost two years ahead of schedule.

Latin American Herald Tribune: Five Dead, 150,000 Evacuated as New Wildfires Hit California

PRN-Latino News from mikenova (16 sites)
Five Dead, 150,000 Evacuated as New Wildfires Hit California SAN FRANCISCO – At least five people died in the last few hours in California, where three large wildfires have forced 150,000 people to evacuate.The largest blaze, known as Camp Fire, has hit northern California and is the only one that has been deadly so far, devastating 28,000 hectares (69,000 acres) and engulfing much of Paradise, a town of 26,000 residents located some 280 km (174 mi) north of San Francisco.The five confirmed victims were found in their vehicles, having died attempting to escape the blaze.The heavy traffic caused by the evacuations led many people to abandon their vehicles and flee by foot.Paradise Mayor Scott Lotter, who evacuated with his family, told The Sacramento Bee that “the whole town’s on fire,” while describing a scenario of “horror and chaos.”The strong winds and the dry conditions in the area have led to a rapid expansion of the fire.The smoke has even reached San Francisco, where an air quality alert was issued.The two other fires are smaller in size and have hit the southern part of the state.One of the fires has affected the coastal town of Malibu, home to many Hollywood celebrities, as well as the city of Thousand Oaks, where a former US Marine killed 12 people at a bar on Wednesday night before taking his own life.The Woolsey Fire, as the blaze is known, has forced 75,000 homes to be evacuated in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.The fire has also affected the affluent city of Calabasas, where Kim Kardashian-West lives, who was evacuated on Thursday along with her three children.The third blaze, the Hill Fire, broke out in Ventura County’s Santa Rosa Valley.

Latin American Herald Tribune: 30,000 Evacuated in North California Wildfire

PRN-Caribbean News from mikenova (15 sites)
30,000 Evacuated in North California Wildfire SAN FRANCISCO – Some 30,000 people were evacuated after a wildfire broke out on Thursday in northern California and engulfed houses and public buildings such as churches and schools in the town of Paradise.The fire has burnt more than 8,000 hectares (nearly 19,768 acres) in less than 24 hours and continues to grow because of the dryness of the terrain and strong winds in the area, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Calfire).No casualties have been reported yet but there are several missing while some people have suffered serious burns.Evacuation orders were given on Thursday in the small towns of Pulga, Magalia and Concow in Butte County, as well as in the town of Paradise, with a population of about 26,000, and in the rural areas of Butte Creek Canyon and Butte Valley.In the early hours of Friday, local authorities issued evacuation orders for parts of Chico, which has a population of 90,000, as flames were moving towards the city.The area is about 140 kilometers (86.9 miles) from state capital Sacramento and about 280 kilometers from the San Francisco Bay area, where the smoke from the fire is visible, EFE confirmed.The “Camp Fire” was declared early in the morning and spread rapidly through very dry terrain, helped by strong winds of up to 80 kilometers per hour.Acting governor of California, Gavin Newsom, requested the federal government for a presidential emergency declaration for physical and financial resources for the affected area.Serious fires in California are increasingly frequent and violent, as evidenced by the fact that four of the five most destructive fires in the state’s history have occurred in the past six years, according to official records dating back to 1932.In September, firefighters finally contained the Mendocino Complex fire, active since July and considered the largest in California’s history.
