Europe wildfires: France warns of worst crisis “since WW2” as new heatwave looms | BBC News

Published

on



More than 360,000 people have been evacuated across France and Spain as unprecedented wildfires continue to spread.

The French President Emmanuel Macron held crisis talks and said his country was facing its most difficult situation since the Second World War.

Firefighters are still struggling to control the fires, as a new heatwave is forecast to bring further hot, dry conditions that could help fuel the blaze.

The authorities are warning that a major fire which is now just 9 miles from Bordeaux could continue to burn for months.

In Spain, more than 60,000 people have been forced to flee their homes near the capital Madrid.

Fiona Bruce presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Gwyn Loader, Justin Rowlatt and Mark Lowen.

US military launches strikes against Iran to “further degrade” capabilities | BBC News

Published

on



The US military says it launched another round of strikes against Iran to “further degrade” its capabilities to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The strikes – the 10th consecutive night of attacks – come after US President Donald Trump vowed to punish Iran for the deaths of US soldiers.

In response, Iran said it struck two oil tankers in the waterway, as well as US military assets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, state news agency IRNA reported.
President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran was now fighting a “full-scale war” with the US. Trump earlier said Iran had been hit “very hard” the previous night “in honour” of three US soldiers killed recently – two in Jordan and one in Iraq.

US Central Command (Centcom) said its latest strikes had hit Iranian “military command centres, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defence systems”.

Thousands of mosquitos being released in Washington DC | BBC News

Published

on



About 600,000 mosquitoes are being released across the Washington DC area this summer to help reduce local mosquito populations.

Only male mosquitoes – infected with the naturally occurring bacteria Wolbachia – are released. They don’t bite humans, and the bacteria they carry prevents any eggs produced after mating from hatching.

The release of mosquitos comes as climate change creates more favourable conditions for the insects to survive and reproduce, increasing concerns about the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
