Haze in Singapore Caused by Forest Fires in Indonesia Could Last Weeks

Singapore's prime minister has warned that the haze engulfing the city could last for weeks, as air pollution in the city-state soared to record levels.

At 13:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Singapore's pollution standards index reached 371, breaking previous records and well above hazardous levels.

The haze is caused by illegal forest fires in Indonesia's Sumatra island.
