Tourist protests descended into violence in Spain last night as armed police clashed with unruly demonstrators.More than 25,000 protesters took to the streets of Majorca, arguing the island cannot "cope" with more holidaymakers.Police officers struck those in the crowd with batons, while angry protesters were seen leaping over barriers, forcing police to hit them back in response.Authorities used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd after rioters threw bottles at police. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Seven people were injured in the chaos, two seriously.One protester sustained a large gash in his head as a result of the clashes, pictures from the scene revealed.Demonstrators were pictured holding signs which read "tourists go home", "save Majorca", and "less tourism, more life".Grassroots campaign group Menys Turisme, Mes Vida, which translates to Less Tourism, More Life, organised the protest - the first in a series of planned demonstrations ahead of the total solar eclipse on August 12.The group has now published a "Manual for Action Against Touristification" - a guide which tells supporters how to identify possible targets of "non-violent direct action" against a "system that is suffocating us".Tourism signage, estate agents and hotels are all named as potential places to act against.Protesters are told to block key-holder boxes for holiday rentals, plan out escape routes, and to cover up distinguishable features, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin.BRITONS IN SPAIN - READ MORE:Anti-tourism protests leave British woman fearing for her safety as dreamy purchase could lead to £68,000 lossBritish couple among 13 people killed in Spain wildfires as over 1,500 evacuatedBritish tourists among at least 60 holidaymakers hospitalised with gas poisoning at Spanish hotelTourism bodies in the Balearics have condemned the guide.The Majorca Hoteliers Foundation, the College of Estate Agents and the Confederation of Balearic Business Associations (CAEB) have all hit out against the document.The hotel federation said: "There are many ways to defend an idea, but not all ways of doing so are valid."Jose Miguel Artieda Mean, the president of the College of Estate Agents, said: "This does not contribute to public debate; it fuels a climate of confrontation that benefits no one."The manual follows the targeting of international estate agents in Majorca with graffiti.Two agencies were tagged with messages which included "guilty", "speculators out", and "get lost".It marks the third year of summer protests against tourism led by Menys Turisme, Mes Vida.The organisation previously told GB News British holidaymakers should "expect a hostile atmosphere" this summer and claimed tourism "destroys everything that existed before it".

France forced to draft in police to stop burglaries from evacuated homes as Britons ordered to leave amid wildfires
France has been forced to draft in police to stop burglaries from evacuated homes amid a devastating series of wildfires.Almost 220,000 people have now been evacuated as flames tear through the Cap Ferret peninsula and towards Bordeaux.Sophie Brocas, the Prefect of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Gironde, said 1,200 members of France's National Gendarmerie had been deployed to Gironde - where one of the country's largest fires is raging.Members of the National Gendarmerie are now on patrol to prevent burglaries in evacuated homes. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Last January, as flames raged across Los Angeles, officials revealed opportunistic thieves had seized on the destruction to steal from empty properties.“In the midst of the emergency, we have all seen individuals who are targeting vulnerable communities by burglarising and looting homes. This is simply unacceptable," Kathryn Barger, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said.Up to 60 suspected looters were arrested in the city by the end of the fires.Back in France, tourists have been urged to avoid the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Gironde areas entirely."I encourage tourists who are already here to consider another destination," she added.Some 16 firefighters were injured in Gironde on Sunday, bringing the total number hurt to 84 - with two firefighters killed in the blaze.Interior Minister Laurent Nunez admitted on Sunday evening the situation was "not under control", with plans in place for an evacuation of Bordeaux.Mr Nunez told France 2 TV: "The overall situation is very unfavourable... We are in a situation that is unprecedented."On Sunday, Bordeaux Mayor Thomas Cazenave said the fire was about nine miles away from entry points to the city.WILDFIRES IN EUROPE:MoD admits it doesn't have ANY water-bombing aircraft needed to put out firesTourists evacuated from British holiday hotspot as wildfires engulf areaBritish pensioner, 93, becomes 13th person to die in horrific Spain wildfiresPolice also went door-to-door in the municipalities of Marcheprime and Cestas, telling residents to evacuate and warning of the incoming blaze.Bordeaux Airport's hotel zone was also evacuated as a result of the wildfire, with its terminals closed overnight.Mr Cazenave said earlier said on Sunday there were no immediate plans to vacate the city, whose wider metropolitan area has a population of 850,000, but plans for a total evacuation are ready.French President Emmanuel Macron has now convened ministers for crisis talks on how to tackle the fires.On Saturday, Mr Macron thanked emergency service workers and volunteers who had combatted the wildfires."We will rebuild, we will repair, and we will be there as long as it takes," he vowed.Pope Leo also provided his support, saying: "In the face of the devastating fires that have struck several localities in France and Spain in recent days, I wish to express my solidarity and invite everyone to pray for those affected and for the work of the rescuers."Wildfires are also raging in Spain, Italy and Scotland - with the worst of the fires in the former ripping through more than 4,300 hectares of the eastern Castellon province.Valencia's regional leader Juanfran Perez said on Saturday the fire was "beyond our capacity to extinguish".One civilian has been killed in Valencia as a result of a smaller wildfire.

Andy Burnham to make it harder for people to claim benefits as he vows to ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare bill
Andy Burnham will look to crack down on the welfare bill in a move that could provoke the ire of the very Labour MPs instrumental in bringing him in to replace Sir Keir Starmer. In his first major interview since becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham admitted to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that the nation’s welfare bill has to be reduced. And he made it clear that going forward certain benefits, including mental health support, will become “conditional” on people taking work and not staying at home. The interview for BBC’s Panorama show also saw him warn that unless there is "substantial change" to the social care system the NHS will collapse, as he looks to fix a crisis which has dogged British politics for decades. With major changes set to come, Mr Burnham has already made clear in clips from the interview released on Sunday that he will not seek a fresh mandate with an early election. He has also insisted he will call out Donald Trump when “it is in the British national interest” and is seeking ways to find the up to £13bn of cash needed to hit the UK’s target of 3 per cent of GDP on defence. open image in gallery Prime Minister Andy Burnham (Jeff Overs/BBC/PA) (PA Media) But with money tight, Mr Burnham has made clear that like his predecessor Sir Keir, he intends to make savings on welfare spending. The issue led to Sir Keir losing his authority as prime minister after he was forced to retreat from plans to cut welfare by £5bn a year following a massive backbench rebellion. Asked about welfare reform, Mr Burnham did not hide from the need to bring the bill down. He said: What you're driving at, which is the welfare bill. I think we've got to get really serious as a country at getting the welfare bill down.” Mr Burnham kept work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden in place despite texts between him and disgraced former Labour peer Peter Mandelson revealing that Mr McFadden had complained about Labour MPs. Mr McFadden told Mandelson: "Every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others'. They're asking the wrong questions." His staying in place while 11 other cabinet ministers were sacked was a sign of intent . Outlining his approach, Mr Burnham explained: “It's about changing the nature of the support and making some of the support conditional upon people taking opportunities that are presented in front of them.

The nation is starting to see just how severe the current policy outlook has become as the provisions of President Donald Trump’s 2025 “big beautiful” act take effect. Healthcare and food stamp benefits for some of the most vulnerable populations have been scaled back or eliminated. And if Republicans retain control of Congress after the midterms, those cuts could run even deeper. Thirty years ago, President Bill Clinton declared an end to “welfare as we know it” 1996.

View All 10Why Trump's new tariff blitz is very different this time round
Livestream Menu The Trump administration on Friday unveiled new tariffs on 60 trading partners, reigniting global trade tensions. The new duties land in a markedly different economic environment from last year's 'Liberation Day' announcements, as global markets grapple with the ongoing effects of the Middle East conflict and ongoing inflationary pressure. Investment strategists warn that renewed trade tensions risk a structural drag on global growth. @LCO26U As the U. S. military conflict with Iran enters its sixth month, President Donald Trump has returned to a more familiar battleground: global trade. Trump on Friday launched a fresh tariff blitz targeting 60 trading partners, including the European Union, China, the U. The latest wave of tariffs — which took effect at a. m. Friday, replacing the stopgap 10% baseline tariff that expired July 24 — range from 10% to 12.5%. Initial market reaction Friday was muted, with the renewed tariff push largely anticipated by investors, given the approaching expiry of the previous duties. That contrasts with the 'shock and awe' approach that underpinned the sweeping 'Liberation Day' levies announced in April 2025, which sent markets plummeting. However, investors and analysts say the circumstances surrounding the latest tariff push are markedly different this time round, landing amid a more challenging global economic landscape than last year and underpinned by a separate legal framework, potentially risking a lasting drag on markets. "The significance this time around is twofold," said Emma Moriarty, portfolio manager at CG Asset Management. "Not only does it show the Trump administration's commitment to tariffs, but it shows this commitment against a backdrop of a global energy shock and increasing supply chain bottlenecks. They appear content to continue to levy new tariffs even when they exacerbate domestic markets. For markets, the implications should be clear: we have to position for a low growth and high inflation outcome," Moriarty said. The measures come as global stock markets continue to grapple with the impact of ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, which have seen oil prices rebound above $100 this week as hopes of a negotiated ceasefire in the war continue to recede. "While the outcome won't come as a complete shock to markets, it is nonetheless another unwelcome source of uncertainty as sentiment is buffeted U. S. and Iran and concerns about levels of expenditure in the tech sector," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. The White House administration had been expected to seek an alternative route toward a new round of tariffs following the Supreme Court's ruling in February that the previous tariffs were illegal.
Oil slides 5% as Iran reportedly signals halt to attacks if U.S. pause holds
Livestream Menu Oil prices fell after Iran reportedly said it would suspend attacks as long as a U. S. pause in hostilities remains in place. Iran has indicated it will stop carrying out attacks as long as the U. S. also refrains from striking, Reuters reported. Oil tankers and cargo vessels remain anchored off Port Sultan Qaboos on June 21, 2026 in Muscat, Oman. Elke Scholiers | Oil prices fell after Iran reportedly said it would suspend attacks as long as a U. S. pause in hostilities remains in place, easing concerns over nearly two weeks of escalating conflict. International benchmark Brent crude futures for September delivery fell nearly 5% to around $91.97 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for September delivery similarly dropped 5.2% to $84.67 a barrel. Iran has indicated it will stop carrying out attacks as long as the United States also refrains from striking, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing a senior Iranian official. The pause follows Washington's decision to suspend its bombing campaign after President Donald Trump's advisers reportedly warned that the military was running out of viable targets and raised concerns about depleting U. The Iranian official reportedly said that that Tehran's stance "remains 'attack for attack': if the attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States." U. S. ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said on Fox News Sunday that Trump had chosen to pause the strikes to allow diplomatic efforts to continue. S. rates strategist Dhiraj Narula said higher oil prices have contributed to renewed expectations that the Federal Reserve may need to keep policy tighter for longer, but noted inflation expectations have remained relatively contained despite the energy rally. He attributed that to stronger messaging from Fed officials on their commitment to price stability, which has prevented the oil shock from feeding into longer-term inflation expectations.

View All 10Are brain waves the next unlock for physical AI?
The frontier of physical AI is a Jenga game in a warehouse in San Leandro, California. That warehouse is occupied by Encord, a company that builds data tooling used to train AI models. Andrew Ceja is a pilot—the company’s term for its robotic trainers—and he’s carefully pulling wooden blocks from a tottering tower while wearing a headset with a camera that tracks what he sees. That alone is fairly common for collecting robot training data, but this headset includes sensors that measure his brain waves as he carefully disassembles the block tower. Encord is one of a small but growing number of startups betting the next real constraint on humanoid and warehouse robotics won’t be model architecture but instead the sheer scarcity of real-world physical training data. Rather than just helping robotics companies manage the data they have, Encord is building a business around manufacturing the data they don’t. The brain wave headset Ceja is wearing was built , a German neuroscience startup that’s betting measuring brain activity — to deduce mental states like error, intent and surprise — can create a more useful data set to train models. Encord’s work with Zander is currently a trial run; Encord says the goal is to build an initial brain wave-tagged data set, run it through customer robotics models, and evaluate whether it actually improves performance before deciding whether to scale it up. Lucas Gehrke, a Zander neuroscientist supervising the work, says that the amount of brain activity used at any point during a given task offers clues for model builders trying to figure out when they need to deploy their highest-effort models. This is the “bleeding edge” of the effort to solve the robotics data bottleneck, according to Vineeth Velmurugan, Encord’s head of robot learning. A veteran of OpenAI’s robot lab and Berkshire Grey, the warehouse automation firm, Velmurugan joined Encord to build the company’s internal data-creation team. Encord was founded to help companies building machine-vision applications annotate data and evaluate models. As their customers—Velmurugan says they work with many leading robotics firms but that he’s not authorized to name them—began to apply end-to-end learning to robotic manipulation tasks, executives realized they would have to produce training data themselves, rather than simply manage it. “The data simply does not exist,” Velmurugan said. The bet that generative AI can do for robots what it’s done for chatbots keeps running into this same wall.

Can Apple make smart glasses that aren’t a constant privacy threat?
In Brief Posted: PM PDT · July 26, 2026 : Justin Sullivan (opens in a new window) / Anthony Ha Can Apple make smart glasses that aren’t a constant privacy threat? As Apple prepares to launch its first smart glasses, the company is also wrestling with how to address consumer privacy concerns, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman reports that Apple has pushed back the launch target from early 2027, with the glasses now set for unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2027 and actually becoming available . That delay allows Apple to work on the product itself, and on the messaging around privacy. It sounds like the company has noticed the concerns around Meta’s smart glasses — sometimes decried as “pervert glasses” — being used to make non-consensual video recordings. That could be a bigger issue for Apple, which constantly emphasizes privacy in its marketing. Among other things, Apple will reportedly try to emphasize privacy-friendly features like on-device processing, as well as the absence of facial recognition. The company will likely steer clear of using customer recordings to train AI models, and it’s unlikely to follow Meta’s reported practice of using contractors to review customer footage.

The Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads, Tested on the Trail (2026)
CommentSave StorySave this story CommentSave StorySave this story Best All-Around Backpacking PadNemo Equipment Tensor All-Season Best Ultralight Sleeping PadTherm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite NXT Sleeping Pad For the Ultimate Backcountry ComfortTherm-a-Rest NeoLoft Sleeping Pad For Side SleepersExped Ultra 6.5R Sleeping Pad What are these sleeping pads you speak of? When I was young, all backpacking was uphill both ways and everyone slept on the ground in sleeping bags with only a half-inch of thin closed-cell foam between us and every pebble. We also filtered our water with our teeth and ate mainly raw meat and foraged ramps. Still, I suppose there is something to be said for getting a good night’s sleep at the end of a long day on the trail. These days, there’s no shortage of packable, lightweight sleeping pads to make sure no peas (or pebbles) ever disturb your slumber on your next backpacking trip. We’ve spent countless nights on all manner of sleeping pads, and we’re happy to report that in all this time we’ve never had one fail on us. That said, there are some standouts—looking at you, Nemo Tensor All Season—and a few to avoid. Updated July 2026: We’ve added Exped’s new Ultra 6.5R sleeping pad, removed several discontinued pads from our honorable mentions, added some more advice about R-values and warmth, and updated price and links throughout. How to Choose a Backpacking Sleeping Pad AccordionItemContainerButtonLargeChevron Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when shopping for a new sleeping pad. When backpacking, we suggest sticking with inflatable pads or self-inflating pads (though these are generally heavier), which offer the best insulation and cushioning for their size and weight. Whatever your specific needs, your goal is always to find the best warmth-to-weight ratio. More warmth means more weight. Keep the following tips in mind. Every ounce counts, and so does the packed size. Smaller, lighter pads take up less room in your pack and are great for a thru-hike where you’re trying to minimize gear size to make room for food. If you plan to camp in Michigan in the fall where cold weather is all but guaranteed, you need a much more insulated pad to protect you from cold ground temps than you do when camping in the Everglades in August. Bonus tip: Don’t camp in the Everglades in August. Everyone sleeps differently, and different pads will be better for different people.

View All 10Macron calls crisis meeting as wildfires threaten Bordeaux and heatwave looms
French President Emmanuel Macron will a hold a crisis cabinet meeting on Monday as wildfires close in on the south-western city of Bordeaux. Another heatwave is set to complicate efforts to tackle the expanding blaze, which is about 15km (9 miles) from Bordeaux, mayor Thomas Cazenave said. Earlier he said there were no plans to evacuate the population of about 850,000. Wildfires have raged across Europe over the past week, primarily in France and Spain, where more than 330,000 people have been evacuated across both countries. Macron said on Saturday that France would "rebuild" and his government would "be there for as long as is needed". Tens of thousands of people have already been evacuated from Bordeaux's surrounding region, with France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez saying the situation remained "very unfavourable" and the fire was "moving erratically" towards the city. Weather forecasts for the country warned that temperatures could spike to 40C in some areas from Tuesday. France's main fire in the Gironde region has caused an unprecedented "pyrocumulonimbus" - a giant fire thunderstorm fuelled , said the National Firefighters Federation of France (FNSPF). "We don't know how the blaze will spread, the fire front is constantly shifting. We cannot fight it directly," said spokesman Eric Brocardi. "It's a David-versus-Goliath scenario." He added that to control the blaze, it would need to rain "heavily for three days" or require firefighters steering it towards a place where it can die down on its own, like the sea. The wildfires have badly affected France. About 42,000 hectares have been burnt in the south-west, in one of the largest forest fires since World War Two. Since the start of the year, about 98,000 hectares have been scorched. More than 220,000 people have been evacuated in the south-west of the country. Meanwhile, firefighters in Spain battled a new blaze on Sunday near the eastern coastal city of Valencia where around 15,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. Pilar Bernabe, the central government's delegate to Valencia, said the fire had been "very intense" and weather conditions were expected to worsen. Spain's Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who is expected to visit affected areas in Valencia on Monday, said the fires were advancing slowly. "Difficult hours lie ahead," said Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez during a visit to the fire zone in Ávila province, west of Madrid. He also called for "a major public pact on the climate emergency". Spain's King Felipe VI said the wildfires had caused "incalculable" damage to the country's natural heritage, as he toured an emergency shelter in Villamanta, south-west of the capital.
Badenoch says PM must rule out tax rises to fund social care reform
Kemi Badenoch has written to the prime minister asking him to "rule out any tax rises or increased borrowing" to fund social care reform. In a letter to Andy Burnham, the Conservative Party leader said she would be happy to work with him to find a solution, but only if he sticks to her party's "two core principles". She said any reform must be funded , and also be fair to those who have "made provisions and saved up over the course of their lives". Burnham is expected to make a speech on adult social care this week. A No 10 source said this was part of his plan to "run towards problems that have been neglected". Burnham to address social care, youth unemployment and devolution Andy Burnham's first week pledges - how much do they add up to? Writing to the prime minister on Sunday, Badenoch said she hoped they could "find common ground" on the issue. Badenoch said it was a "hugely important issue" but that previous efforts to form a "durable consensus around social care has not been at all simple". She wrote to Burnham: "The Conservatives are happy to work with you and other parties on reforming social care. But we will only support a solution that abides ." Any proposed solution must firstly be fair to those who have "made provisions and saved up over the course of their lives", Badenoch said. Secondly, she said the money must be found "must rule out any tax rises or increased borrowing that will ultimately fall on the next generation to pay for". Badenoch added: "With businesses closing or relocating, youth unemployment higher than in the eurozone, and the cost of living already causing real hardship for many people, the last thing Britain needs is further tax increases to pay for social care." Burnham first proposed a universal system of social care in England in 2009 when he was health secretary under Gordon Brown. He has vowed to spend political capital on the issue as prime minister. However, he is not the first leader in recent years to pledge to address the issue of adult social care. In 2019, in his first speech as prime minister, Boris Johnson said the Conservative Party would "fix the crisis in social care once and for all". Five years later in July 2024, Sir Keir Starmer faced criticism when Labour scrapped plans for an £86,000 cap on the amount anyone in England would need to spend on their personal care over their lifetime.

France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said the situation in the region remained "very unfavourable" and the fire was "moving erratically towards" Bordeaux, though officials downplayed the possibility of evacuation. Overnight into Sunday, about 55,000 people were evacuated from villages to the south of the city in the Gironde region, famed for its vineyards. Wildfires have raged across Europe over the past week, primarily in France and Spain, where more than 330,000 people have been evacuated. France has been one of worst affected regions, with an area of 42,000 hectares burnt in the south-west, making it one of the largest forest fires since World War Two. About 115,000 hectares have burnt across the country since the start of the year, Nuñez told French media on Sunday. In total, more than 220,000 people have been evacuated in the south-west of the country. Captain Nicolas Braz, one of the leaders of the firefighting operation, said the fire had created "its own winds - complete with whirlwinds", adding it was "erratic and unmanageable". Residents in Le Porge, one of the coastal towns hit , have set up an improvised volunteer network to support exhausted firefighters, cooking them meals and offering a place to rest in between shifts. "I think many of them have never experienced a fire of this magnitude before," volunteer Nathalie Augonnet said. More than 150 houses have been destroyed in the town of 3,500 inhabitants. Several houses in Le Porge, in the Gironde region, have been destroyed by a fire "I'm a little devastated for this beautiful town, for its forests, its wildlife and for the people who have lost so much," Augonnet said. "Right now, we're focused on taking action, so we don't really have time to think. I think the difficult part will come afterwards, during the reconstruction." Meanwhile in Spain, fires continue to spread, with more than 90,000 evacuated from the regions around Madrid and Ávila. Around 77,000 hectares have been affected , minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, said on Sunday. She added that the wildfire burning in the Ávila region is the largest in the country's recent history. Among the residents evacuating surrounding areas is Olga Congacha, 50, who had to flee her village of Robledo de Chavela west of Madrid in a haste.

Photograph: Graeme Robertson/The Guardian Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find Preliminary study shows older people who avoided food four hours before bed did better in problem solving tests Confining mealtimes and snacks to a nine-hour window and avoiding food for four hours before bed may help stave off cognitive decline in older age, researchers say. A pilot study of older women living with overweight or obesity found hints of improvement in mental skills among those who ate within the restricted period compared with those who spread their meals over a longer time. The finding is preliminary given the numbers in the trial, but if confirmed in larger studies, the work suggests people could help to protect their cognitive abilities a relatively narrow window and not eating late into the night. Losing weight alone can help slow cognitive decline in older age, said Prof Sue Shapses, a nutritional scientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, US, but there may be “additional benefits” for people who do not eat outside an eight to nine-hour window, and stop eating four hours before going to sleep. Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK and the seventh worldwide, leading to nearly 2 million deaths globally each year. Some risk factors are unavoidable, such as age and genetics, but experts believe nearly half of cases could be prevented or delayed through changes to lifestyle. Obesity in middle age can raise the risk of dementia in later life by 30%. Shapses ran a small clinical trial in which 47 women aged 50 to 79, who were living with overweight or obesity, were encouraged to cut 500 calories from their daily diet for six months. Within the group, 26 were advised to eat only within a nine-hour window. Typically, this meant eating between 10am and 6pm, while the rest of the volunteers spread their meals over about 12 hours. At the end of the trial, both groups had similar weight loss averaging about 7kg (15lbs). But cognitive tests revealed that those who confined their eating to the narrow window performed better than the others on spatial planning and problem solving tests. There were also hints that they made fewer errors on memory and learning tests, though on some multitasking and reaction time tests both groups performed the same.

Photograph: Clement Viala/infobassin. com/Abaca/Shutterstock Pedro Sánchez says Spain is suffering effects of climate crisis as firefighters battle wildfires in France Blazes near Madrid coming under control but efforts to contain huge fire near Bordeaux hampered a ‘fire cloud’, and how have they worsened wildfires in Europe? Authorities in France battled to contain a huge wildfire near Bordeaux as the forecast of another heatwave threatened to deepen the crisis and the Spanish prime minister, Pédro Saánchez, warned Spain and the Iberian peninsula were suffering the effects of the climate emergency. Windy conditions on Saturday night hampered efforts to extinguish the blaze in the Gironde region of south-western France – which has consumed an area four times the size of Paris and caused nearly 220,000 people to be evacuated. In Spain, fires west of Madrid were being brought under control, but Sánchez spoke on Sunday of “difficult hours”. Weather forecasters say another heatwave could hit France from Tuesday, with temperatures reaching 40C in some areas. Wildfires have forced about 375,000 people to flee their homes in France and Spain. In France nearly 260,000 have been forced to flee, while in neighbouring Spain 116,000 have been evacuated this week. Firefighters in Spain and France battle raging wildfires – video Bordeaux’s mayor, Thomas Cazenave, described the Gironde blaze as being “at the gates of the metropolitan area”, between 15 and 20 miles (25-30km) from the city itself, which has a population of 268,000. An evacuation of the city was not on the cards, he said. The fire situation in Gironde remained “broadly stable overnight” with no major developments, the local authority said on Monday. “Security and emergency services remain fully mobilised and are continuing their operations on the ground,” the statement said. Nearly 260,000 people have been evacuated across France as a whole, including 36,000 ordered to leave another wildfire zone in the Landes region farther south earlier this week. Map showing the location of wildfires in France and SpainSophie Brocas, the prefect of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, which includes the Gironde, said that the highly unpredictable nature of this wildfire was a phenomenon never seen before in France. “I urge tourists not to come to Gironde as long as the fire has not been contained,” she said. “I invite tourists who are already here to think about going to another destination.
Every new UK home should have air conditioning, say Liberal Democrats
The Liberal Democrats want developers to be made to build homes able to cope with increasing heat.

Photograph: Unai Huici/Alamy Every new UK home should have air conditioning, say Liberal Democrats Exclusive: Party says housing stock ‘woefully unprepared’ for extreme heat and new rules for builders must be set All new UK homes should be built with air conditioning to cope with the effects of the climate crisis, according to the Liberal Democrats. The party says British homes are dangerously unsuited to rising temperatures, meaning passive cooling measures such as planting more trees in residential areas are necessary. The Lib Dems also want air conditioning to be mandatory in essential public buildings such as schools and health facilities. The problem of overwarm homes has been highlighted by a UK Health Protection Agency yellow alert for high temperatures to run from Tuesday morning until Friday morning for the south-east, south-west and east of England, the Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber. Temperatures in London are forecast to reach 32C (90F) on Wednesday, before cooling. Some other parts of the UK will be wet with notably lower temperatures. As well as being hot, much of the summer has been exceptionally dry. In July so far, there has been just 5% of the average rainfall across England, falling to 1% in the south, bringing droughts and severe risk of wildfires. My homemade air-con unit does the trick | Brief letters The Lib Dems’ “climate ready” programme would make it a legal requirement for new homes to have either air conditioning or another cooling system. They say this is especially important for older people or those in poor health. The number of UK homes with air conditioning has doubled in the past three years amid rising temperatures, according to industry estimates. However, this still comes to only about 4m of the estimated 30m-plus homes in the country. According to polling commissioned , 28% of people said they had bought a fan or an air conditioning unit during the recent heatwaves, with 26% of respondents saying the conditions had left them feeling unwell or faint. The statistics illustrate the increased risk from extreme heat exacerbated by human-created global heating. More than 40% of the people affected would not have died without the 1.4C of human-caused heating to date, according to the analysis.
Here’s how offshore wind helped New England beat record heat
This story was originally published and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. America’s offshore wind farms have already shown their ability to keep electricity flowing during brutal winter storms. Now, the clean energy resource has proved it can also bolster the grid during major heat waves. Earlier this month, as dangerously hot and humid temperatures settled over the eastern United States, two wind projects near New England consistently delivered hundreds of megawatts to the grid as residents cranked up their air conditioners. The influx of wind reduced utilities’ reliance on dirty, expensive oil-burning peaker plants, which operate only when electricity demand is through the roof, according to the data firm Grid Status. Analysts compared how the regional system performed during the July heat wave and a sweltering stretch in June 2025, before much of the current offshore wind capacity came online. Oil provided nearly 10 percent of the region’s total power supply during peak-demand conditions on July 2, 2026 — that period’s hottest day — down from nearly 15 percent at the highest point on June 24, 2025. That’s a drop of more than a gigawatt in oil-fueled generation between those two days. Part of the decline was due to slightly weaker overall demand during the July 2 peak than during last year’s event. But Grid Status said that stronger generation from the region’s utility-scale offshore wind farms was a key factor. The projects are coming online despite repeated attempts them.

The energy transition might not be. Jake Bittle The surge of hydropower delivered via the New England Clean Energy Connect power line, which started carrying electricity from Canada to Maine in January, also reduced peak oil use. Meanwhile, an abundance of rooftop solar installations significantly eased overall electricity demand during the heat wave. “Even if total demand was in line with last year, we would still be hundreds of megawatts below what the total [peak oil] burn would’ve been,” said Tim Ennis, a Grid Status analyst in Boston. “We didn’t have to turn the oil on as hard at lunchtime because we had the wind and [hydropower line] online as well.” Ennis noted that offshore wind is often touted by experts for its ability to bolster grid reliability during winter. New England’s power system is becoming increasingly constrained in colder months, owing to the shift to electric space and water heating systems.
'It's like having an amusement park and not opening it' - algae closures take toll
Algal blooms can resurge during warm weather conditions As locals and visitors make the trip to Northern Ireland's lakes in search of summer sunshine, they are once again facing an unwelcome sight: blue-green algae. The toxic bacteria, which can cause skin irritation and sickness in people and animals who come into contact with it, has become an unwelcome feature of recent summers. There are currently 248 algae blooms across Lough Neagh and Northern Ireland's water systems, according to the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, external. Eighty have been confirmed in June and July alone. The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) said two of the areas affected were Camlough Lake near Newry and Craigavon Lakes. For one business owner based at Camlough Lake, the return of blue-green algae has had an immediate impact. Karl Toner, who owns a coffee cart on the shore as well as a nearby glamping site and paddleboard hire business, said visitor numbers had fallen sharply since the warning was issued on 13 July. "In the summertime this place really goes off, now the algae has just completely killed it," he said. Toner explained how warm weather would normally bring visitors from across Northern Ireland and beyond to the area, providing a trade boost. "On a good day, there would be hundreds of people here from the morning right through until midnight, swimming and enjoying the lake, but now the place is empty," he said. Karl Toner has been working in the area around Camlough Lake for over five years Toner said algae warnings in previous years meant visitor numbers suffered, but now the timing was particularly damaging for footfall during one of the best spells of summer weather. "When the weather gets good, the lake is closed. It's like having an amusement park and not opening it," he said. Warning signs have been erected close to Camlough Lake Newry, Mourne and Down District Council said it was notified 13 July of the presence of blue-green algae at Camlough Lake, and erected warning signs immediately to alert the public to the potential health risks. The council said it was carrying out regular visual monitoring of the lake and arranging toxin testing, adding that warning signs will remain in place until the required safety criteria under the protocol is met. A Daera spokesperson said that while there were "no quick fixes", restoring and protecting the ecological health of water bodies was "possible ".

Photograph: Martin Godwin/The Guardian ‘The city isn’t built for heat’: how extreme weather puts London’s rough sleepers at risk As heatwaves make the capital increasingly dangerous, outreach workers warn that vulnerable people face barriers to finding water and cool spaces “You’ve just got to bear it. It’s like being in a hot country. It drains you,” said Tom*, a man in his 60s who has been homeless for a number of years. “I haven’t seen weather like this for as long as I’ve been outside. “I keep to my routines, but you need to find somewhere to sit down and rest. Either some cardboard outside or you find somewhere they’ll let you sit and sleep a bit inside,” he added. As the UK sweltered through its third heatwave of the year, the Guardian joined outreach workers as they tried to support some of the capital’s most vulnerable people. In his first speech as prime minister last week, Andy Burnham vowed to end rough sleeping in England “at the earliest opportunity”. “The city is not built for heat,” said Josie Ashdown, a lead manager at the homelessness charity Thames Reach. “You can feel that the concrete makes it hotter here than probably anywhere else in the country at points, and there’s hardly any tree cover.” As London endures repeated heatwaves fuelled , outreach teams are offering extra support to those most at risk – handing out water, carrying out welfare checks and directing people to cool spaces. Scientists have estimated that the May and June heatwaves in England and Wales killed 2,700 people. “Outreach teams are working around the clock,” said Elle Slater, a service development manager at the homelessness charity St Mungo’s. Many of the tents beneath an underpass in London were empty when the Guardian visited. Their occupants had probably left in search of water, work or somewhere cooler, Ashdown said. But for the record numbers of people like Tom who are sleeping rough, escaping the heat is rarely straightforward. View image in fullscreen A homeless person sleeping in central London.

Japan records unprecedented five-day streak of temperatures reaching 40°C (104°F), the longest on record
Kozu/Unsplash Japan experienced its fifth consecutive day with temperatures reaching 40°C (104°F) or higher on July 25, setting the country’s longest such streak on record. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) attributed the persistent heat to a Pacific high-pressure system that has kept skies largely clear across much of the country. The highest temperature of the day was 40.8°C (105.4°F) in Mino, Gifu Prefecture. Other locations reaching 40°C (104°F) or higher included Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture at 40.7°C (105.3°F), Kuwana, Mie Prefecture at 40.6°C (105.1°F), Hamamatsu (Chuo Ward), Shizuoka Prefecture at 40.3°C (104.5°F), Toyota, Aichi Prefecture at 40°C (104.0°F), and Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture at 40°C (104.0°F). Kofu also became the first location outside the Tokai region this year to record a kokushobi, the designation introduced 2026 for days when temperatures reach 40°C (104°F) or higher. NHK reported that heatstroke alerts were in effect across 37 of Japan’s 47 prefectures. Authorities urged residents to use air conditioning, drink plenty of water, replenish salt and avoid prolonged outdoor activity. Warm, humid air flowing around a stationary front was also expected to bring heavy rain to parts of the Tohoku region and Niigata Prefecture, increasing the risk of landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, swollen rivers, lightning and strong wind gusts. Emergency medical services are also seeing the effects of the prolonged heat. According to Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency, 10 857 people were transported to hospitals 13 to 19, the first weekly total above 10 000 this year and 2.4 times higher than the previous week. Fourteen people died, while 321 people were classified as severe cases expected to require at least three weeks in hospital. The agency described the extreme heat as a “disaster.” Tokyo also experienced a surge in heat-related emergencies. The metropolitan government reported a record 453 heatstroke ambulance transports on July 22 under the current reporting system. Authorities also confirmed at least one heat-related death after an elderly woman collapsed while gardening, while several other patients were reported to be in critical or serious condition. Sayaka Mori, a Japanese meteorologist and weather communicator, said that July 25 marked Japan’s fifth consecutive day with temperatures reaching 40°C (104°F) or higher, the longest such streak on record. Mori also reported that 22 locations have already reached the 40°C (104°F) threshold this year, the second-highest annual total ever recorded. The record of 30 locations was set in 2025, with much of the current summer still ahead. The historic streak comes only a year after Japan recorded its highest temperature on record of 41.8°C (107.2°F).
