Spain goes to the polls; fires continue to burn across eastern Australia

Polls open in Spain in a few hours' time for what will be the fourth election in just four years.

Also in the programme:  Fires are burning uncontrolled across eastern Australia which have already claimed at least three lives.

And for the first time ever Indian Sikhs have been allowed to travel visa free to Pakistan for a religious festival.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Erica Wagner, a British-American writer, journalist and literary critic; and John Kampfner, British broadcaster, journalist and author.
