Summary

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez on Saturday said that France's largest wildfire since 1949 was "under control", more than a week since the fire erupted in the Gironde department near the southwestern city of Bordeaux. France has for weeks been battling wildfires after a series of deadly heatwaves, which scientists have linked to human-made climate change.
