Uncontrolled wildfires in southwestern France and central Spain have forced more than 330,000 people to evacuate, with France accounting for the bulk—around 220,000 in the Gironde region alone. Firefighters, supported by 1,500 troops, are battling blazes near Bordeaux, where 42,000 hectares have burned. Two French firefighters and one Spanish civilian have died. The Tour de France's final stage was shortened to free security forces. President Macron pledged rebuilding, while Prime Minister Sánchez warned of difficult hours ahead.
