  1. More than 100 people have been injured in a wildfire which has rapidly burnt through 1,700 acres of land as it approaches the edge of Marseilles, France’s second largest city by population.

    One building was destroyed and ten damaged. Dozens of residents were evacuated while others were urged to stay indoors and off the roads. Benoit Payan, the city’s mayor, likened the scenes to “guerrilla warfare”.

    Fire chiefs said: “The department is facing a significant forest fire risk. Several forest fires are currently burning throughout the department.”
