Thousands flee California wildfires

Firefighters are continuing to tackle a huge blaze in southern California where evacuation order has been issued for an area home to more than 82,000 people, just east of Los Angeles.

The Blue Cut fire, as it has been named, has destroyed homes and disrupted transport links between California and Nevada since it broke out on Tuesday.

The flames have advanced, out of control, despite the efforts of 1,300 firefighters.
