Record levels of pollution are being recorded in Singapore this week as smog overtakes the city. The city-state's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, says it may linger for weeks.

Singapore's smog problem is being attributed to farmers attempting to clear land along the Indonesian island of Sumatra through a "slash and burn" process, only to start forest fires instead.
