Europe Battles Record-Breaking Heat Wave and Wildfires

Europe is grappling with a record-breaking heat wave, as Greece and France continue to battle wildfires. Wildfires outside of Athens jumped containment lines. This comes a day after two firefighting helicopters collided in midair, killing two crew members. In France, firefighters in the region around Bordeaux guarded against potential flare-ups. And England and Wales suffered the driest July in nearly 200 years due to a prolonged heat wave and lack of rainfall, according to the U.K.’s weather service. www.democracynow.org
