TRĂVILLACH (ANP) - Door de zaterdag uitgebroken natuurbrand in het zuiden van Frankrijk is inmiddels circa 1500 hectare afgebrand. Dat meldt BFMTV op gezag van het departement PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Orientales. Eerder op zaterdag werd nog gemeld dat het ging om circa 930 hectare.
Het vuur zwol zondag aan en heeft nu een brandlijn van zeker 18 kilometer, aldus het departement. Circa tweehonderd voertuigen van hulpdiensten en negen vliegtuigen zijn ingezet. Zo'n zevenhonderd brandweerlieden zijn bezig het vuur te bestrijden. Volgens de autoriteiten kan dat nog lang duren.
In meerdere Franse departementen zijn hittewaarschuwingen afgegeven, waaronder Pyrénées-Orientales. Deze week wordt verwacht dat de hitte terugkeert naar Frankrijk. Ook in Spanje en Portugal is men voorzichtig met het oog op de naderende hittegolf.

In dueling speeches this weekend, the New York mayor faced a ânation of contradictionsâ while the president offered a stump speech
If Donald Trumpâs address on 3 July from Mount Rushmore will be remembered at all, it will be because that was the day of competing speeches, and competing visions, of the United States. Earlier on 3 July, the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, delivered a speech that was about half as long as Trumpâs 28-minute address, but one that offered a far different assessment of the challenges facing his city and our nation.
âWe see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions,â Mamdani said, while seated at George Washingtonâs desk and flanked by newly naturalized American citizens. âWe see the wealthiest country in the history of the world â one where children go to sleep hungry while the worldâs first trillionaire hungers for more.â

Are flags hung from lamp-posts intimidating? Do we need to spend more on defence? Where do you stand on these issues – and could you persuade someone with different views?
"For the Guardian series Dining across the divide, we would like to hear from people living in the UK who have differing viewpoints about some of the most divisive issues that affect us now. Our aim is to find out whether encountering someone with the opposite point of view can make a difference. We're interested in hearing from adults from every part of the UK with an interest in meeting and discussing opposing views with another reader." They're still soliciting participants. I'm suprised I never stumbled on this before. I'm wondering if anything similar appears in the US or elsewhere. I could wish it to be so. The question then becomes, which outlet would be best suited for people on either side of the divide to stumble upon this sort of thing?
