n hour's drive south of Pamplona,
0:02
Spanish firefighters use helicopters to
0:05
try and douse a wildfire raging out of
0:07
control. Their payloads though a
0:09
pittance compared to the towering
0:11
flames. Further west, distraught
0:14
residents of Kusedo watched as fire
0:16
invaded their town.
0:19
Soon the helicopters are going to leave.
0:21
The trucks will run out of water and the
0:24
entire town will be burnt. We've been
0:26
left with nothing.

In Italy, army engineers took a fire
0:32
break on Mount Vesuvius. The dormant
0:34
volcano that once covered Pompei in fire
0:36
and ash is now itself ablaze. Hundreds
0:39
of hectares up in smoke at one of the
0:41
country's most popular national parks,
0:43
including valuable vineyards.
0:46
Meanwhile, another dormant volcano is
0:48
also burning. This one in the seemingly
0:50
unlikely location of Edinburghough,
0:52
Scotland, where the iconic Arthur's Seat
0:55
that overlooks the historic city caught
0:57
fire Sunday amid what is so far the
0:59
country's driest year since 1964.
1:02
Europe is in the midst of yet another
1:04
highly destructive wildfire season. As
1:06
rising temperatures and increasing
1:08
drought brought on by climate change
1:10
continue to boost the intensity and
1:12
frequency of the disasters in France,
1:15
the country's worst fire in decades is
1:17
now under control in the southern
1:18
department of UD. Evacuated residents
1:21
returning home, though authorities
1:22
warned that the fire could reignite,
1:24
saying it will be weeks before it's
1:26
fully extinguished. Meanwhile, a new
1:29
powerful heat wave is set to grip France
1:31
this week with temperatures forecast to
1:33
top 40 degrees C in several areas of the
1:36
country on Tuesday.
