WorldEurope wildfires: France warns of worst crisis ‘since WW2’ as heatwave looms

Unprecedented wildfires continue to spread across France and Spain, forcing more than 360,000 people to evacuate. French President Emmanuel Macron held crisis talks and said France was confronting its most difficult situation since the Second World War. Firefighters are still struggling to bring the blazes under control. A forecast heatwave could bring hotter, drier conditions and help the fires spread, while authorities warn that a major blaze is now only 9 miles from Bordeaux.
