Australia fires: 4,000 people seek refuge on a beach

Newsday

Available for over a year

Four thousand Australians are trapped on a beach as bushfires rage out of control. We speak to someone in the town of Mallacoota who is caught up in it all. We go to Japan where the former boss of Renault-Nissan, Carlos Ghosn, has skipped his bail and flown to Lebanon. He's on trial for financial misconduct. Two Ugandan women tell us about the pressures of not having children.
