France on high alert as ongoing heatwave fuels wildfire and pollution risks
PARIS — Southwest France sweltered on Monday as temperatures rose to 43 degrees Celsius in parts of Charente and Aude, prompting the country's highest heat alert across a dozen departments.In Aude, where vineyards and Mediterranean scrub stretch across hills, hundreds of firefighters remained on the ground to monitor the perimeter of a vast wildfire that burned through 160 square kilometres last week.Local authorities said the blaze is now contained, but warned it could smoulder for weeks, with hot spots still posing a risk.Meteo-France, the country's national weather service, placed 12 departments on red alert, a designation issued only eight times since its creation in 2004 following a deadly summer heatwave the year before.Officials said the red alert allows local authorities...

Russian drones hunt civilians as Putin zeroes in on Ukraine’s Kherson
KHERSON — Russia has launched a new bid to exert control over the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson by threatening key access roads with its drones and trying to split it in two by striking a vital bridge.On Sunday, a wave of airstrikes damaged a key bridge between Kherson’s island, Korabel, and the main city, sparking a widespread effort to evacuate the estimated 1,800 Ukrainian civilians who still live there. Russian forces appear not to have targeted the evacuation effort over the past three days, according to locals and rescuers, a rare moment of respite from the daily barbaric drone strikes on civilians across the city of recent months. Later Wednesday, videos posted online showed significant Russian strikes had resumed near the bridge and on the island, where some Ukrainain...

Belarus targets government critics with continued raids and detention, activists say
BELARUS — Authorities in Belarus unleashed a new wave of raids and detentions against government critics who took part in opposition rallies abroad earlier this year, officials and rights advocates said on Wednesday. It’s the latest move in a sweeping crackdown on dissent and freedom of speech by long-time authoritarian President Alexander Luksashenko. The country's Investigative Committee said it identified at least 207 participants in anti-Lukashenko rallies held in Poland, Lithuania, the United States, the UK and Canada to mark Belarus’ short-lived independence in 1918 after the collapse of the Russian Empire. The raids, detentions and property seizures were carried out in the capital of Minsk and elsewhere across the country, authorities said. They didn't say how...
