Fire crews are battling "unprecedented" blazes, particularly near Bordeaux, with less than a day to control them before a 40C heatwave is forecast to hit. Over 360,000 people have been evacuated across France and Spain due to the fires, as Europe endures one of its hottest summers on record. Authorities have warned that the fires raging just 15km outside Bordeaux could persist for months, requiring rotating crews from across the country. A new "powerful" heatwave is expected to arrive in France on Wednesday, with temperatures predicted to peak at 40C on the Atlantic coast.
