South Africa firefighters struggle as parliament blaze flares up again

Flames break out as man charged with arson day after fire extensively damages national assembly building

South African firefighters are struggling to extinguish another fire at the complex housing the country's parliament in Cape Town, a day after a blaze swept through the buildings.

Police have charged a 49-year-old man with arson and other offences including theft. He is expected to appear in court on Tuesday. The speaker of the national assembly said arson, if confirmed, would represent an attack on South Africa's democracy.
