    In Australia, a long-awaited inquest into the Whiskey a Go Go nightclub inferno has resumed in the Brisbane Coroners Court


    Fifteen people were killed in the 1973 blaze, when the Fortitude Valley nightclub was firebombed.

    The original inquest was adjourned when two men were charged with the arson and murder of the youngest victim.

    Dozens of witnesses will be called.
