Firefighters continue battling Europe's largest blaze on record

Firefighters continue to battle the devastating wildfires in Greece's Dadia National Park, which have now been burning for two weeks.

The European Commission has said the blaze is the continent's largest wildfire on record.

This week, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told parliament that the wildfires burning across the country were expected to consume more that 150,000 hectares of land.

Greece has experienced a summer of intense heat and frequent fires and, while the government has been quick to blame climate change, some experts have begun looking at planning failures to explain such a destructive season.
