Rain brings relief to scorched parts of Australia

Milder temperatures on Sunday brought some relief to areas of Australia affected by wildfires.

But that's only temporary, with the Prime Minister Scott Morrison warning that there was still "months to go" until the end of bushfire season.

The number of those killed by wild-fires increased to 24, in the town of Batlow a 47-year old man died while defending the home of a friend.
