A massive wildfire is burning about 15 km from the outskirts of Bordeaux, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. "Like we're in a warzone," one resident said as thick smoke covered the city. More than 300,000 people have been evacuated across France and Spain. Firefighters are using aircraft to drop fire retardant, but hot and dry weather is making the fires worse. French President Emmanuel Macron is visiting the affected area. Officials warned that the coming days could bring even higher temperatures, increasing the risk of more wildfires and making firefighting more difficult. (PC: Reuters, EPA/Shutterstock)
