#France #SpainA fourth heatwave of the summer has begun in Spain and France, with firefighters trying to prevent a flare-up from major wildfires that have only just been brought under control.

In Spain, 24,000 people have been told they can return to their homes in the Madrid region, but some fires further afield have continued to burn.

Fire crews in France have been tackling wildfires in the south-west as temperatures soar to 40C, prompting fears more fires could break out.

Officials in the Gironde region insist fires there are under control. Thousands of evacuees can now return to their homes but they’ve been warned they may need to leave again.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are facing extradition from the US to the UK after authorities announced 38 new charges against them, including rape and sex trafficking.

The total number of charges against the brothers is now 59, police said.

Andrew, 39, and Tristan, 37 – who came to global fame via social media – have previously denied any wrongdoing.

The dual British-US citizens were taken into custody and appeared before a federal court in July as prosecutors launched legal proceedings to have them sent to the UK.

We ask the BBC’s Washington correspondent Bernd Debusmann how the Democrats have changed their attitude towards Israel in light of the war in Gaza, and the conflict in Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been meeting President Donald Trump in Washington, at a tense time for US-Israel relations. Though they entered the war with Iran as partners, President Trump has publicly criticised Israel over its handling of the conflict – even calling Mr Netanyahu “crazy” in a phone call about Israel’s fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, more than 100 House Democrats recently voted to cut military aid to Israel. And some of the parties top figures – including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Senator Cory Booker have promised not to accept any money from the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC.

Bernd tells us that in the wake of the Gaza war, a new generation of politicians, like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, have come to represent many young American voters’ growing frustration with the Israeli government.
