Chile forest fires: President indicates arson suspected

Emergency crews in Chile are searching for hundreds of people who remain missing following severe wildfires.

At least 131 people have died in the fires, which were fanned by winds and dry conditions.

President Gabriel Boric says security is being increased, after reports of arsonists attempting to light new fires.
