Greenland's prime minister says his people don't want to be Americans after Donald Trump
00:06
suggested the US might seize the island.
00:11
Italy's foreign minister Antonio Tajani meets Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun in Beirut
00:16
after talks with Syria's new leaders.
00:21
Officials in California say the death toll from massive wildfires burning in and around

Los Angeles has risen to 11.
00:32
The Biden administration extends the stay in the US for 800,000 migrants by 18 months.
00:42
Greenland's prime minister has said his people don't want to be Americans after president-elect
00:47
Donald Trump suggested the US could seize the island.
00:51
Mutabi Egil acknowledged that Greenland is part of the North American continent, but
00:55
said Greenland is for the Greenlandic people.
00:59
The semi-autonomous island is a territory of Denmark and Egil has been calling for independence.
01:05
Trump said earlier this week that he wouldn't rule out using force or economic pressure
01:09
in order to make Greenland a part of the United States.
01:13
He said it was a matter of national security.
01:16
Those comments sparked anxiety in Denmark and across Europe.
01:20
The US is an ally of the EU and the leading member of NATO and many in Europe were shocked
01:26
that an incoming US leader could consider using force against an ally.
01:31
Greenland has a population of 57,000 and is the world's largest island.
01:42
Italy's foreign minister Antonio Tajani has met with Lebanon's newly elected president
01:47
Joseph Aoun in Beirut.
01:49
Tajani praised Aoun's leadership, saying that a president with a very influential personality
01:54
would help contribute towards peace in the region.
01:58
Tajani also held a video call with officers and soldiers of the Italian battalion serving
02:02
with UNIFIL.
02:04
Italy maintains a contingent of over 1,000 peacekeepers in Lebanon.
02:09
In December, Tajani condemned an attack on UNIFIL base which wounded four Italian soldiers.
02:15
The base was hit by rockets allegedly fired by Hezbollah during a year of hostilities
02:20
between the militant group and Israel, which ended with a ceasefire in late November.
02:26
Tajani's visit to Lebanon comes on the same day he met with Syria's de facto leader Ahmed
02:31
al-Sharaa in Damascus to coordinate various post-Assad initiatives.
02:42
Officials in California say the death toll from massive wildfires burning in and around
02:47
Los Angeles has risen to 11.
02:50
And the tally of homes and other buildings destroyed stands at more than 10,000.
02:54
LA County Sheriff Robert G. Luna said around 153,000 residents are now under evacuation
03:02
orders.
03:03
He also said a nighttime curfew is in place covering the Palisades and Eaton fire areas
03:08
and that officers are patrolling to prevent looting.
03:12
He said more than 57,000 structures remain at risk.
03:16
Mayor Karen Bass said Los Angeles is preparing for more high winds forecast for next week.
03:22
The blazes started on Tuesday powered by gusts from the Santa Ana winds which followed an
03:27
exceptionally dry period.
03:31
Officials say investigations into how the fires first broke out are still ongoing.
03:42
The Biden administration has extended the stay in the U.S. for around 800,000 migrants
03:47
from Venezuela and El Salvador by 18 months.
03:51
They have temporary protected status, an initiative created by Congress in 1990 to prevent deportations
03:57
to unsafe countries.
03:59
It gives migrants authorization to work in increments of 18 months but doesn't provide
04:04
a long-term path to citizenship.
04:07
The Department for Homeland Security also extended TPS for more than 103,000 Ukrainians.
04:13
But it faces an uncertain future under incoming President Donald Trump who tried to curtail
04:18
its use during his first term.
04:20
Trump suggested he would scale back the use of TPS and policies granting temporary status
04:26
as he pursues mass deportations.
04:29
During his first administration, Trump tried to end TPS for migrants from El Salvador,
04:34
Haiti and Nicaragua but those attempts were blocked in court.
