A spectacular falling out between the Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his deputy Sara Duterte has unleashed a war between two of the country's most powerful political dynasties. The Marcos/Duterte feud has led to jaw dropping plot twists worthy of a political thriller with claims of drug addiction, corruption and the hiring of a hitman. The arrest of Sara's father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, for crimes against humanity, is also linked to the fallout with the President.   

On Foreign Correspondent Natashya Gutierrez reports on how this feud has escalated so dramatically.   With the two clans at war she travels to the family fiefdoms in Ilocos Norte and Davao City to see how deeply rooted and damaging these political dynasties are to the country. 

Australians know bushfires all too well.  But no Australian city has experienced the scale of the urban wildfire that reduced large parts of LA to ash.  More than 150 square kilometers of homes and bushland were destroyed in the worst fires in southern California's history, 

US correspondent Barbara Miller was dispatched to the fires as they took hold.  Now, three months later, she reports on the aftermath and reconnects with the people she met while the flames burned. As fire experts predict the severity of the wildfires will only get worse, locals who have lost everything are weighing up whether they can risk going through it all again.
