Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro has authorised the use of the military to battle the huge blazes sweeping parts of the Amazon.

The wildfires have spread to 2,900 square miles of land and the B747-400 SuperTanker has been sent to Bolivia to help put out the fires and protect forests.

The US-based aircraft can carry nearly 76,000 litres (20,000 gallons) of retardant, a substance used to stop fires.
