Raging wildfires in Australia

BBC World Service - Weekend, Raging wildfires in Australia

Wildfires continue to burn across eastern Australia; effects of US sanctions on Iranians

Raging wildfires continue to devastate communities across eastern Australia - we'll hear from a mayor whose city has been been caught up in the destruction.

Also in the programme: The effects of US sanctions on the lives of Iranian citizens.

And why Cyprus has revoked 26 so-called "golden passports".

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.
