Tehran has threatened Donald Trump after the US followed through on his warning that Iran would be hit "hard" in retalation for its "surprise attack" on American bases on Tueday night.
Phil Garrigan, chairman of the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), said: "More than 200 wildfires in just 12 days shows how quickly the risk can escalate when hot, dry conditions take hold.
"The scenes we’re seeing across parts of Europe are a stark reminder of what a changing climate means for fire and rescue services."
The NFCC has also warned that wildfire risks remain high across the UK, with eight ongoing incidents currently under national monitoring.
HVO’s eruption clock hit its mark again as Kīlauea’s r
ecord-breaking streak reached 52 episodes
Molten rock shot 500 feet (150 meters) into the sky above Halemaʻumaʻu Crater on the night of July 28, as Kīlauea's summit eruption entered its 52nd episode — another installment in a sequence that has already rewritten the record books and turned an active volcano into one of the best-forecast natural phenomena on Earth. By 9:15 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time (3:15 a.m. ET on July 29), the north vent was producing peak fountains, lava was blanketing roughly 10 percent of the crater floor, and a volcanic plume had briefly reached 19,000 feet (5,791 meters) above mean sea level before settling back to around 16,000 feet (4,877 meters), according to the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's observatory messages.
An ex-Russian Deputy PM posted a map of over 20 UK sites to target and destroy.
Dmitry Rogozin, formerly Deputy Prime Minister and space agency chief, warned that numerous British defence-linked sites will be targeted.
An alarming map of what defence sites Russia would like to target first came as the latest warning from the Kremlin.
The locations consist of both military and industrial sites across all four UK nations, however the exact locations have not been made public.
This comes after former British defence secretary Ben Wallace called for ‘making Crimea uninhabitable and unviable from a Russian point of view’ last October.
“Ukraine does not need to invade the peninsula (which I concede would be incredibly difficult if not impossible) but they should choke it to death.”
Rogozin responded with the map, commenting: “Former British Defence Minister Ben Wallace on what Kyiv and its NATO allies should do to end the military actions: ‘We must help Ukraine acquire long-range capabilities to make Crimea uninhabitable. We need to strangle Crimea.’
“What a sober minister has in mind, a former one has on his tongue. However, it is even good that they reveal their true intentions.
When the Inheritance event (Rev 4-5) happens then just before it is complete,Satan and his angels will be thrown down to earth. and then he shall be incarnated as Baraq o Bamah, Lightning from the heights as Jesus prophesied.
People generally consider Total Solar Eclipse as bad omens and this one is visible over Spain, France, UK, Iceland aaannnnddd Greenland...
When i was looking at the extremely rare looking path of this eclipse and its path straight up to the North pole from Rome way (reverse path in reality), i immediately thought Romans,government, wilderness under ground cities.
In fact there are underground facilities in Greenland, maybe that why trump was trying to target them? as seen in the movie.
that come after the first passing of God's Throne Nibiru(seal 6-7) and after us 144,000 have been chosen and elected by God to go through the tribulation and after the Great multitude of living has been caught up to the throne...
these includeall them under the age of Bar Mitzvah and all them that repent of their sins in Jesus precious name and blood before that Throne of God hits the earth and strikes the nations down, any mass destruction and extinctionI AM is going to do it, he is the creator of Heaven and Earth.
But first the day before the eclipse, on the 11th of August is my Roman calendar birthday.
Its will be my 42ndBirthday.
42 is a strong biblical number, especially with end times prophecy.
Iran launched renewed attacks on US military targets and Gulf allies, striking a command center near Al-Tanf in Syria and triggering air raid sirens in Bahrain, while continuing pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, which has driven oil prices above $90 per barrel.
The strikes targeted US partners (including facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait) and were described by Iran as retaliation for American actions; the US responded with its eighth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets.
The escalation has caused civilian and military casualties, damaged infrastructure (including a power plant in Kuwait and a nuclear-related site in Iran), and further dimmed hopes for a political settlement despite mediation efforts.
Iran renewed attacks on US military targets and its regional allies on Monday, saying it had struck a command center near the Al-Tanf base in Syria, while Bahrain sounded air raid sirens as the latest escalation sent oil prices above $90 a barrel.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had launched a “surprise attack” on an enemy special operations command center in the Al-Tanf region of Syria, according to a statement carried by Iranian state news agency IRNA.
The attack was described as retaliation for the deaths of Iranian soldiers from Iranshahr, a city in southeastern Iran.
The British government has said it "stands ready 24/7 to defend itself" after Iran said UK bases used by the US were considered "legitimate targets".
The UK has allowed the US to launch "defensive" operations from British bases hosting American personnel and aircraft, while refusing to cooperate in offensive operations against Iran.
Iran's foreign ministry said the UK was an "accomplice" in the US war, while the powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) military wing said any country which supports the US militarily "will be responsible for the consequences and repercussions".
It comes as the US carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran.
While US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised the British government and former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for what he has deemed a lack of support for his war, Iran's comments on 23 July sought to paint the UK as a party to the campaign.
Drought status has been declared across a wide area of North Wales. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said widespread wildfires, record-low river flows and successive heatwaves have triggered the declaration.
The areas affected include North Gwynedd, Ynys Môn, South Gwynedd, Dee (Wales), Clwyd and Upper Severn.
NRW is encouraging people to use water wisely but water company Dwr Cymru said there are no current Temporary Use Bans (hosepipe bans) in the areas entering drought conditions. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox
The NRW decision follows continued hot, dry weather over recent weeks. July is on course to become the driest on record in Wales for almost 190 years if significant rainfall does not arrive before the end of the month.
A Russian warship, shadowed by a Royal Navy vessel, carried out a live-fire artillery exercise just 46 miles (74km) south of Plymouth on Monday.
The Royal Navy monitored the exercise and is tracking "the vessel's activity closely", a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said.
The BBC has been told that, prior to opening fire, Russian frigate Neustrashimy (English: Dauntless) had informed the Royal Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel, HMS Tyne, of its intention to conduct gunnery activity.
Newly appointed Defence Secretary Wes Streeting called the exercise "performative and irresponsible". The Kremlin has signalled there was no link between the exercise and Andy Burnham taking office as prime minister.
