Spain declares state of emergency as power blackout chaos continues | BBC News
Spain has declared a state of emergency as chaos continues following the mass power cuts that hit the country along with neighbouring Portugal. Parts of south-west France were also affected.
Trains stopped, planes were grounded, traffic lights failed with mass traffic jams. Shops and businesses closed as they were unable to trade and mobile phone networks went down. Major cities including Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon were badly affected.
The cause of the massive power failures remain unclear, with some suggesting a cyber attack while other said the complexity of modern electricity networks meant a mass technical system failure was possible. The Portuguese governement said atmospheric conditions were responsible. The threat posed to electrical systems by big variations in atmospheric temperature are well known, although if it is rare to see problems on this scale.

Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma says the gaming giant needs to be “thinking about” affordability for its next-generation console, amid a “crisis” in computing prices.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC’s Laura Cress at Gamescom in Cologne, she said rising hardware costs partly driven by AI spending mean firms need to find ways to make gaming affordable.
She also revealed gamers will soon be able to get digital versions of many of the physical games they currently own, potentially meaning their old games can be played on future Xbox consoles without having to put a disc in a drive.

A 23-year-old Utah man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – as a judge ruled prosecutors can seek the death penalty at trial.
Tyler Robinson denies aggravated murder, a capital offence in Utah, and six other charges in connection with the shooting of Kirk at a campus event on 10 September 2025.
Defence lawyers had tried to have the death penalty taken off the table, but prosecutors argued that aggravating factors, such as firing into a crowd in the presence of children, warranted a capital trial.
Turning Point USA co-founder Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem.
