Volunteer firefighter suspected of starting devastating France forest fire

Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world, and Europe is the fastest warming continent, heating up twice as fast as the global average, according to the Copernicus climate service.

This is causing increased summer heatwaves, greater pressure on Europe's water supply, and more intense wildfires.

The record-breaking temperatures across Europe this summer have led to major wildfires, most notably in Spain where at least 13 people have been killed.

And in the UK, firefighters have been battling to contain a "large-scale" wildfire that has spread across more than two miles (3.5km) of dry land in the Cairngorms National Park in north-east Scotland.
