Australia bushfires: PM Morrison heckled in fire-hit town

People in Cobargo made it clear that Prime Minister Scott Morrison wasn't welcome

Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has had to cut short a visit to a town affected by the bushfires after angry locals heckled him. He was criticised by people in the town of Cobargo in New South Wales over the government's response to the crisis. We explain what happened and get the latest on the bushfires.

Also, we hear from people affected by the floods in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. At least 26 people have died after the city had its most intense rainfall for at least 24 years.

And before arriving in London to present OS, Divya Arya was the BBC’s Women’s Affairs reporter in Delhi. With colleagues from South Africa and the United States, who report on similar issues, they consider the year that has passed and the year ahead for women in their parts of the world.
