Spain at 'extreme risk' of new wildfires as 14 blazes spread

Spain faces "extreme risk" of new wildfires as 14 blazes spread, with the prime minister warning of tough conditions, and temperatures reaching 40C. A heatwave in southeastern Europe has fueled fires in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and other countries. The severity of wildfires in Spain and across Europe is attributed to human-induced climate change, with around 6,290 sq km of land burnt in the EU since the start of the year. Authorities have arrested individuals suspected of starting fires, as Spain seeks assistance to combat the ongoing blazes.
