Saturday as an awful day. As thousands of personnel tackle raging infernos, the countrys Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has been heavily criticised for being on holiday in hawaii, but the pm has cut short his trip to return home. I get it that people would have been upset to know that i was holidaying with my family while their families were under great stress. They know that i am not going to stand there and hold a hose, iam not a trained firefighter. Im conforted by the fact that australians would like me to be herejust simply so i can be here. An areas the size of belgium has been torched by the fires. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and at least ten people killed. Two firefighters are among those to have lost their lives. This week has seen record high temperatures repeatedly broken. With australia hotting up, the Prime Minister says the government would take action on Climate Change. There is no argument about the links between, in my view and the governments view, and any

This service is a tradition by the royal family and for some of the well wishers who queue from the early hours of the morning. But this hasnt been a tradi
Earlier we heard from steve perryman, a former teammate of Martin Peters at tottenham in the seventies. He told us how he will remember him. Martin was one of those people that just deserved more than being a footballer of high repute, which he obviously was. He did things for charity, he was kind, he was a proper gentleman if he promised to do something, he delivered it. And therefore, with what he did in the world cup and stuff like that, i mean, these days, we talk about giving honours to footballers when they get to a semifinal, Martin Peters actually won the world cup for england. I only ever played with two world cup winners in my life, the other was ossie ardiles, and both very classy people and very, very intelligent. His conduct, with regard to how he.

Other people speak on the television toda
