France and Spain continue to battle fires as new heatwave looms

• French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday said one forest fire in southwest France had been "contained" even as another, much bigger one near Bordeaux continued to rage, and western Europe braced for new heatwaves this week.
• France and Spain are battling the worst wildfires in living memory, which have ripped through hundreds of hectares of woodland, destroying properties and forcing evacuations of hundreds of thousands of people.
• The return of searing temperatures, from Tuesday in France and from Wednesday in Spain, threaten to complicate fire-fighting efforts.
