Well, it's a different situation. There's still a big question mark over the water issues and why there were issues in the first place with the fire hydrants running out of water, a dry reservoir close to one of the big fires in Pacific Palisades that is now thankfully open. almost fully contained. And I think the investigation into why there were fire issues will go on for some time.

In terms of this latest fire, again, looking positively at it, there are three large-ish lakes very close by, and this is where the The helicopters are scooping up water from those lakes to douse these flames. But it really is a battle. I was watching from my home as the smoke was rising above the hills and it was dark smoke. And that's always bad news.

If it's lighter coloured smoke, if it's white smoke, that suggests that they're getting a control of the situation. Really, it's still 100% uncontained. So a lot of work still to do. And very residential areas pretty close by. There's a major freeway, the 5 Freeway, that really cuts through California. Part of that freeway has been closed down.

Yes, and that's a good point, that the winds aren't so strong that it precludes those aircraft from getting into the air. I think if they get faster than something like 100 kilometres per hour, that really is the dangerous sort of territory. But the winds aren't as intense at the moment, and the forecast isn't for them to be as intense over the next 36 hours or so.

So, fingers crossed, those aircraft can still fly.

As far as Egyptians are concerned, he's there because he broke the law. He's there because he apparently published false news, news that was damaging to national security. There's no genuine evidence of that. It was because he reposted a Facebook message about another fellow prisoner who died while he was in prison. And as far as I'm concerned, he's there because he is guilty.

Without doubt, Egypt's best known political prisoner. He was an extraordinary character who was one of the driving forces behind the Arab Spring Revolution of 2011. And quite simply, I think the Egyptian authorities are afraid of his capacity to mobilize people in a very powerful pro-democracy movement.

That's right. I was thrown into solitary confinement almost immediately and Allah introduced himself as a kind of disembodied voice just outside my prison cell. He came at a time when I was really struggling with what was going on. I was

No, no, it wasn't. And I was very, very confused by what was going on. I had no real idea or understanding of what I was facing. And Allah had been in prison for some time. He'd been in and out of the system because of his work as a pro-democracy activist. And he helped me understand the psychology of prison. He helped me understand the politics of what was taking place.

And he gave me a lot of the strategic tools that helped me muggle out some letters that really helped shape the campaign that I got out, that helped me get out. So quite simply, I owe my life to him.
