BERLIN (AP) — France saw around 1,000 additional deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave , the country’s public health agency said Sunday, as the head of the World Health Organization warned that Europe is now the fastest-warming continent and needs to do more to protect its citizens.

Temperature records were toppled in several countries on the weekend, wildfires were sparked in Germany and Berlin police used water cannons to cool down the crowds.

Meanwhile, the heat wave slowly

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine kept up its heavy drone assault on Russia, setting fire to a major oil refinery in the south, as President Vladimir Putin acknowledged for the first time on Sunday that the country was facing a “certain deficit” of fuel and vowed to strengthen protection of oil facilities and boost fuel output.

Ukraine has markedly stepped up its long-range attacks on Russian military industries and energy facilities in recent months, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue for its invasion — now in its fifth

OTTAWA — The RCMP’s celebrated Musical Ride is almost as old as Canada itself.

Speaking at the RCMP stables east of downtown Ottawa last week, RCMP Chief Instructor Sgt. Derek Quilley said the show is a living, breathing symbol of the country. The special sunset ceremonies being performed in Ottawa this week ahead of Canada Day are a sweet slice of pure “Canadiana,” he said.

The Musical Ride performs across Canada, travelling to each province once every four years. Every year, thousands of people gather to

Soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo will look to continue his quest to win a World Cup title in Toronto, as Portugal will be coming to the city for a knockout stage game on July 2.

The Portuguese forward failed to tally a goal as his side ended the group stage portion of the tournament with a scoreless draw against Colombia on Saturday night. That left Portugal in second place in Group K, two points behind Colombia. It’s the fifth time in the last six tournaments that Portugal has advanced to the knockout stage.

Alphonso Davies is ready to finish what he started.

It’s been more than a year since Canada’s captain tore his anterior cruciate ligament while playing for the national squad at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

He’s expected to return to the same field on Sunday to play in his first game of this summer’s FIFA World Cup when the Canadians take on South Africa in the round of 32.

“Now that we have Alphonso back and healthy and ready to perform, I think it’s
