France and Spain race to control wildfires as suburbs of Bordeaux begin evacuation – live

Wildfires are impacting France and Spain, with suburbs of Bordeaux facing evacuation. In Spain, authorities reported that favorable weather conditions in the early morning, including lower temperatures, easing winds, and increased humidity, presented a significant opportunity for firefighters to gain control of blazes near Madrid. However, officials cautioned that stronger winds forecast for later in the day could impede these efforts and potentially intensify the fires. Francisco Martín, the government delegate in Madrid, expressed optimism that these conditions would allow firefighters to tackle the wildfires with a reasonable chance of success.
