New wildfires in Spain and France, emergency declared in western Canada
The new fires underline that global security is no longer defined by military conflict alone. Deutschlandfunk reports new wildfires in Spain and France, while Reuters reports that British Columbia has declared a provincial state of emergency as fires destroy homes, force evacuations and require ongoing rescues. For Europe and North America, this adds pressure on emergency services, infrastructure resilience and cross-border disaster response.
