Three people are missing in Australia as the southern regions grapple with spreading bushfires amid sweltering temperatures. A heatwave is feeding the flames as temperatures climb past 40°C. Authorities have described conditions as the worst since the Black Summer bushfires of 2019 and 2020, when thousands of hectares of land were burnt and dozens of lives lost. Millions of residents are on high alert, with Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia facing the most severe threats. Danielle Robertson reports from Sydney.
