the authorities in sydney, near sydney, say that catastrophic conditions are expected around the sydney region, in the blue mountains and the hunter to the north. so the authorities are warning people in bushfire prone areas to leave as soon as they can because they can't guarantee that if people call for help when the fires are at their worst that the authorities will be able to respond. indeed. how stretched are the resources now in new south wales and queensland? are they able to hold back these fires? well, many of these fires are burning uncontrolled. so what the authorities are doing, it's almost like a military style operation. they are having to strategically plan to protect life and property as best they can. now, hundreds of firefighters are on the ground. they are being supported by a squadron of water bombing aircraft. weary firefighters, once again, having to fight fires today before the onslaught expected tomorrow. new zealand has sent in reinforcements for australia and there is a discussion between fire authorities here and their counterparts in the united states and can

a climate sit—in is under way in sydney. these are the pictures live from sydney. the theme is bushfire response. why? because of the fires which have devastated large parts of new south wales and queensland. the fires have taken away lives and homes, and sent haze into sydney, australia's largest city. the bbc‘s phil mercer is there. demonstrations have been occurring in towns and cities. they are saying that climate change is making the wires more intense. much of the anger is directed towards the prime minister scott morrison. doing too little while the country burdens. earlier we spoke to a young woman from northern new south wales who lost her home in a bush fire. over 40 lost her home in a bush fire. over a0 metres high wall of flames fire, spitting embers, amber attacks, balls of fire, it wasn't just a bush fire, it was a firestorm. 0ver balls of fire, it wasn't just a bush fire, it was a firestorm. over 80 houses have been lost in my community. this is climate change, this is the climate crisis, we are feeling the impacts from it right now. we need desper

our correspondent phil mercer gave us the latest on the fires from northern sydney. many are still burning a new south wales and as you say, the catastrophic fire warnings issued for sydney and the surrounding areas have been lifted and for the most part, australia's biggest city has avoided that catastrophe that had been forecast and that is down really to lock in judgement. and also this military style firefighting operation that involves thousands of boots on the ground and a squadron of water bombing aircraft and eastern australia is still gripped by many, many fires and the attention today turns to the northern state of queensland, conditions up there very, very dangerous so while new south wales can breeze a bit of a sigh of relief today, further north in queensland, it's all hands on deck. it's very much dependent on what the weather brings in the coming days. well, the forecast is, right across eastern australia in the coming days, but it will be warm and windy again. today here in sydney, the toxic haze that blanketed much of the city yesterday has gone. it'

phil mercer is in sydney. —— in maitland, about 100 —— in maitland, about100 miles north of sydney. he joins us live. tell us more about what's happening there, please? the catastrophic fire warnings are in place across a large swathe of new south wales. sydney is under this catastrophic fire warning, as where we are now. this is the hunter valley to the north of sydney, and these fire alerts also stretch down to the illawarra, which is another heavily populated region of sydney. they are driving to this area from the early morning, you can smell the smoke in the air. you can most certainly see the smoky haze rolling through the fields and into small communities. at the moment it is quite cool here, about 19—20dc. the temperature is expected to soar to about 38 celsius. also strong winds are expected to conspire to whip up any fires that start, and there is a warning from the fire authorities that people living in bushfire prone regions, the emergency effort is being stretched so emergency effort is being stretched so thinly that anyone who needs help might not be able to get it.

my colleague shaimaa khalil has more from sydney. remember, mariko, even that bid wasn't guaranteed. we understand before the news came out a little over an hour ago, that when he filed his appeal to the high court on tuesday, it was reported this was not guaranteed that he was going to get a hearing, that this was going to be considered by a panel of 2—3 judges. they were going to make a decision and we have the news that he will indeed get his day in the high court here in australia. we have yet to find out the exact date. we understand it is going to be some time next year, that is going to yet again challenge his conviction. remember, he's serving a 6—year sentence for child sexual abuse of two boys back in the 1990s. this conviction came out back in december. he tried and failed in an appeal back in august this year when the victorian court of appeal dismissed his appeal 2—1 and he argued the guilty verdict was unreasonably based on testimony of one victim. we will have a clear idea about the grounds of exactly what he's g

sydney area, north and south of that, so east coast in new south wales. mind you, this is a very populous area we are talking about. we're talking about 6 million people who are bracing themselves for conditions. as the day grows hotter, as the winds grow stronger, this is where we are going to hear more localised, big fires. 0bviously all of this under the umbrella of this catastrophic fire danger. syd ney wo ke this catastrophic fire danger. sydney woke up to a haze as the smoke from other areas, neighbouring areas, has come and settled near the skies here. i certainly, and people around me, felt it. you could smell it in the air. and really, as the day progresses, the danger becomes more severe. the firefighters and the fire authorities have been updating people on an hourly or two hourly basis, and now we are seeing more localised fires, really. but it all comes down to the heat into the wind, because things can get out of control really quickly. and i think people have been told that, if they are in vulnerable areas, they should leave. because firefi

expected to cause conditions not seen before in sydney and new south wales. so, really, today is about batten down the hatches, clearing the grounds around these houses, clearing gutters of dry tender, and trying to salvage whatever personal items people can before they flee to the evacuation centre ‘s tomorrow. they are already potentially calling it black tuesday. it is not looking good. there were warnings a couple of days ago, the emergency services there simply may not be able to reach everyone if people don't take personal responsibility and flee. do you think that message is getting through now? look, it is. and as a couple of things playing into this. we are told to prepare an act, that is have your bush by emergency plans in place. the bushfire extends right into the suburbs here in australia most of the capital city. people do have a bushfire plan. but many people overconfident about what they can achieve and want to stay and defend homes, understandably. you cannot do that in this type of fire. that is the message. the other thing is during the y

we were at one rally in the centre of sydney, outside the syd ney the centre of sydney, outside the sydney headquarters of the liberal party. the liberal party is of the governing party in the state of new south wales, which has seen devastating bushfires. it is also the major partner in the federal government. protesters angry at the prime minister scott morrison, accusing him of standing idly by while australia burns. they believe the australian government, a centre right administration, is doing enough to rein in the fossil fuel industry or taking climate change seriously. both noting that scott morrison admonished a couple of local council leaders for linking bushfires with climate change. hundreds of people outside the liberal party headquarters in sydney and many more demonstrating in other parts of the country. do you get the sense that as these protests go on, there is a rising sense of anxiety linked to these bushfires? in september, we had an estimated 300,000 people attend various climate demonstrations across australia. today's rallies are not anywhere near that number. i put t
