Australian bushfires continue to rage

Australian firefighters say bushfires north of Sydney are 'too big to put out'.

Bushfires are still raging across a 60km front north-west of Sydney. Several fires have now combined to form the Gospers Mountain 'mega blaze', which is over 283,000 hectares in size. Authorities say it may take weeks to put out.

Also on the programme: the controversy surrounding the Nobel Prize in Literature continues as Peter Handke arrives in Stockholm to receive the prize; and we cast a look into the hidden lives of Korean pop stars.
