FILE - In this Feb. 8, 2009 file photo twelve-year-old Rebecca Goudge, second from right, and neighbors nine-year-olds Dean, left, and Kirk Mercuri, right, and their sister Alison, 11, walk around the wreckage of Goudge's home in Kinglake, northeast of Melbourne, Australia. The fire, which killed 119 people, was the largest of a series of blazes that tore through the southern Australian state of Victoria in 2009, leaving 173 people dead and destroying more than 2,000 homes in just over a single day. Survivors of one of Australia's deadliest wildfires are expected to be awarded nearly 500 million Australian dollars ($470 million) in a class action settlement reached on Tuesday, July 15, 2014, the largest such compensation in the nation's history.

President Barack Obama answers questions on violence in Iraq during his meeting with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Thursday, June 12, 2014, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. Obama said that Iraq will need additional assistance from the U.S. to push back an Islamic insurgency. The president did not specify in a brief question-and-answer session what type of assistance he is willing to provide. But Obama did say the White House has not ruled anything out. He said he is watching the situation in Iraq with concern and wants to ensure that jihadists don't get a foothold. Iraq has been beset by violence since the last American forces withdrew in late 2011. The violence escalated this week with an al-Qaida-inspired group capturing two key Sunni-dominated cities this week and vowing to march on to Baghdad. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
