More than a quarter of a million people in France and Spain have been ordered to leave their homes due to huge wildfires, with one death reported in eastern Spain and a blaze near Madrid beyond firefighters' capacity to contain. In southwest France, the Cap Ferret Peninsula and areas near Bordeaux have been evacuated, and a fire near Biscarrosse is out of control. The report notes that human-induced climate change, combined with an exceptionally wet winter and the hottest start to the year on record, has contributed to the scale of the fires, and both Spain and France have requested EU emergency help. In Scotland, a wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park, now in its 11th day, has led Police Scotland to declare a major incident and evacuate homes near Nethy Bridge; the Scottish Government has asked the UK Government for military aerial support.
The BBC has learned that a Metropolitan Police investigation into donations to Reform UK is wider than previously reported, now also examining two £250,000 donations made in June 2024 by Britain Means Business, a company controlled by the party's deputy leader Richard Tice. Tice said he was unaware of the investigation and questioned whether it was a politically motivated smear campaign, while a Reform spokesman said the party strictly follows Electoral Commission guidelines. In Essex, firefighters brought under control a blaze at an industrial complex that caused a huge explosion when fertilizer ignited; twenty firefighters were taken to hospital and later discharged, and three fire engines and two officer cars were destroyed. India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned following more than a week of protests by tens of thousands of young people, originally triggered by the cancellation of the country's top medical entrance exam and escalating into anger over job opportunities and government corruption.
