Winds that have fanned wildfires in the US city of Los Angeles are again expected to kick up in the early hours of Wednesday - after a 25th death from the huge, week-long outbreak was confirmed. Forecasters have again identified an area of "extreme fire danger", emphasising the risk level in a region to the north-west of the city centre. The anticipated increase in wind speeds threatens to further fan the remaining four blazes, which firefighters have made further progress in tackling during a few days of calmer conditions. There are hopes of another drop in wind speeds after Wednesday - but officials have highlighted the need for rain that would help fire crews in their battle.
