WorldWildfires continue to rage in France and Spain as crisis meetings loom

Wildfires are continuing to burn across France and Spain, with crisis meetings scheduled as the emergency persists. Firefighters battling a blaze outside Bordeaux say it may take months before it is fully extinguished. Heat produced by the fires has contributed to thunderstorms in the area, while further hot weather is expected this week. In Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is visiting places affected by the Castellón forest fires, including Vall d’Uixó near Valencia, where as many as 6,500 hectares have been scorched.
