The French prime minister has saidmust fight “more than ever” against climate breakdown but also learn to adapt to it, as she met authorities battling a huge wildfire that continued to burn through south-western pine forests and has forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 people.
Authorities warned of an “explosive cocktail” of weather conditions, with wind and the tinder-box dryness helping fan the flames. In nearby Hostens, Allisson Fayol and her father stayed in their home, their bags packed in case they needed to make a hasty departure.
