NEW YORK - A law firm representing victims of the Eaton Fire in Los Angeles has submitted photos with a legal filing on Wednesday (Jan 29) that appear to show exposed wire at the base of a Southern California Edison tower that the firm alleges may have contributed to the deadly blaze.

During potential arcing at the transmission towers, the exposed wires leading up to the bottom of the infrastructure may have heated to the point of igniting nearby vegetation, said plaintiff's attorney Alexander Robertson.

Lawyers representing Orbis said on Wednesday that Trump had been ordered to make a payment of 290,000 pounds towards Orbis' legal fees, with further sums also likely to be due.

He said Haq had told him his daughter began creating "objectionable" content on the social media platform TikTok when she lived in the United States.

More than 54 million people use TikTok in Pakistan, a nation of 241 million.

Islamabad often takes issue with what it terms "obscene content" with the social media platform, which has lately started complying with requests from Pakistan to remove certain content.

The long-term aim is not just to block Trump's executive order, but to enshrine permanent protections for transgender troops, Talbott said.

New Jersey Senator Andy Kim said the order was "an insult to the bravery and service" of transgender service members.

While transgender rights advocates say as many as 15,000 service members are transgender, US officials say the number is in the low thousands.
