News Wrap: Tennessee wildfire recovery efforts increase

Clip: 12/1/2016 | 2m 50s

The smoke is clearing from days of wildfires in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains.

In our news wrap Thursday, the smoke is clearing from days of wildfires in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, and recovery efforts are in full swing. The blazes in and around the eastern city of Gatlinburg left 10 people dead before 24 hours of rain quenched the flames. Also, French President Francois Hollande said he will not seek a second term, citing his historically low approval ratings.
