Wildfire in Suffolk, UK, Not Yet Under Control, Fire Service Says | BBC News
July 30, 2026 | A UK wildfire the equivalent size of 140 football pitches is not yet under control, the fire service has said.
The blaze broke out on Dunwich Heath in Suffolk on Wednesday, with a major incident declared "due to the size and complexity" of the blaze.
Meanwhile, Greece is also among many European countries facing devastating fires and drought.
Several fires have continued to burn in Spain and Portugal, although Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declared an end to the national emergency for wildfires in the Ávila and Madrid regions.
In south-west France some residents have been able to return to their homes after a major wildfire in the Gironde region.

US Launched Heavy Strikes as Iran War Escalates | The Fourcast Indicators
July 30, 2026 | The war between the United States and Iran has spread across the Middle East. Fresh strikes in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt, alongside escalating Houthi attacks on international shipping, have raised fears that the region is entering a dangerous new phase.
With Washington intensifying its military campaign and Iran relying on its network of allied militias, is this becoming a wider regional war?
On this episode of The Fourcast: Indicators, Matt Frei and Mark Urban are joined by Professor Madawi al-Rasheed from the London School of Economics Middle East Centre. They discuss why the Houthis are stepping up attacks, whether Saudi Arabia is being pulled into the fighting despite its efforts to avoid it, how Iraqi militias could become a new flashpoint, and whether the US has a long-term strategy, or is being drawn into another prolonged Middle East war.
Is there still a path to de-escalation, or are we witnessing the beginning of a conflict that could engulf the wider region?
With sound judgment, this war, suffering, and death could have been avoided. The Iran War is illegitimate and quite unnecessary. It’s a war which America is almost destined to lose. Furthermore, it is a war which could very easily spiral out of control. The world is paying a very high price for the foolishness and extremely poor, infantile judgment of voters in America! — © Mark Alexander

Brandkatastrophen und Extremhitze: Europa lahmt im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel
Verheerende Waldbrände in Frankreich und Spanien, immer neue Hitzewellen, die Europa lähmen: Der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel erschien selten so notwendig wie in diesen Monaten. Doch die Europäische Union hat zuletzt in einer bemerkenswerten Kurskorrektur den entgegengesetzten Weg eingeschlagen und entkernt bereits beschlossene Klimaschutzgesetze.
Das ist besonders bitter für Ursula von der Leyen, denn die EU-Kommissionschefin hatte den Umbau Europas zu einem klimaneutralen Kontinent einst zu ihrer „Herzensangelegenheit“ erkoren und in den fünf Jahren ihrer ersten Amtszeit konsequent vorangetrieben. Europa sollte im Bereich Umweltschutz mit dem sogenannten „Green Deal“ zum Vorbild für den Rest der Welt werden – aber das ist längst Geschichte. » | Von Knut Krohn | Donnerstag, 30. Juli 2026

Ungewöhnlicher Ansturm: Hunderte Migranten schwimmen von Marokko nach Ceuta
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Mehr als 1500 Migranten sollen die spanische Exklave Ceuta zuletzt schwimmend aus Marokko erreicht haben. Die Aufnahmezentren sind überfüllt, Menschen schlafen im Freien.
Hunderte Migranten schwimmen derzeit aus Marokko in die kleine spanische Exklave Ceuta an der Nordspitze des Landes – und bringen die Grenzsicherung an ihre Belastungsgrenze. Lokale Behörden forderten am Donnerstag Hilfe von der spanischen Armee, wie die Nachrichtenagentur AP berichtete. Zudem riefen sie die Regierung in Madrid auf, einen nationalen Notstand auszurufen.
Die Zahl der Migranten in Ceuta ist nach Angaben der örtlichen Behörden ungewöhnlich hoch: Mehr als 1500 Menschen, darunter Erwachsene und Minderjährige, erreichten das Gebiet zuletzt über das Meer. Die Aufnahmezentren gelten als überfüllt, der spanische Innenminister spricht in einem Interview mit dem Fernsehsender laSexta von einer „außergewöhnlichen Situation“. » | Sophie Barkey | Donnerstag, 30.

Trump Encounters a More Determined Iran as War Widens
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The United States is again exchanging strikes with Iran, just days after the president appeared to reject plans to escalate.
Over the weekend, President Trump rejected a return to full-scale war. But as he tries to find a way out of a conflict he started, Iran has proved a stubborn enemy.
On Tuesday evening, Iran fired multiple missiles on American bases in Jordan. The U.S. military intercepted the missiles with apparent ease, but the incident has drawn Mr. Trump once again back into fighting.
The United States struck back in a “powerful response” against Iran on Wednesday evening, U.S. Central Command said on social media. “We’re going to be hitting them very hard, because it’s our turn to hit them,” Mr. Trump told reporters earlier in the day.
The Iranian and U.S. moves come as the war has widened quickly, with Saudi Arabia joining U.S. forces in striking Iranian proxies in Iraq, an American tanker in Egypt set ablaze from an apparent drone strike and tensions rising between Ukraine and Iran.
The war, which Mr. Trump has been trying to bring to a diplomatic conclusion since April, is now threatening to grow bigger at the very moment the United States wants to move past it. » | Julian E.
