Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Thousands have been forced to evacuate in some areas as wildfires burn in parts of Europe. Spectators have also been banned from lining the Tour de France route ahead of the third stage of the iconic race. Authorities say record-breaking heat waves and scant rainfall have turned forests and fields into tinderboxes, with forecasters warning that more extreme conditions are on the way.
