Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world – but particularly in Europe. It 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. Last year, more than 1 million hectares burnt across Europe – a record level – with Spain particularly affected.Although temperatures in Spain are set to peak at 38-39C in some areas on Thursday, forecasters say a cooler mass of Atlantic air is coming in, after the highest June temperatures were…

Daveigh Chase’s friend is remembering the good times they shared in the wake of her unexpected death. “She was just special.

She was not trying, she was just cool. She was effortless. She was the kind of girl that everyone wanted to know.” The friend, who asked not to be named, met Chase in…
Eddie Hearn has offered his verdict on a clash between Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney, which has suddenly emerged as an unexpected possibility for later this year. WBO welterweight champion Haney took to social media earlier this week, claiming that Davis’ team has reached out in a somewhat bizarre turn of events. This follows the news of ‘Tank’ withdrawing from negotiations with Floyd Schofield, thus forgoing an opportunity to reclaim his WBA lightweight title. An encounter with Haney would therefore come as a considerable curveball, given that Davis was seemingly plotting a return to 135lbs. It was at this weight…

The offers for Connor Hellebuyck aren’t there yet TSN: There is considerable interest in Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, but if the offers don’t come in that fill GM Kevin Cheveldayoff’s needs, why would he move him? Darren Dreger adds that you can’t rule out the Jets keeping him. “But look at it from Winnipeg’s perspective here, Gino. You can’t simply trade away a valued asset like Hellebuyck, who’s under contract until 2031, and not get back what you need. We know the Jets are in the market for a No. 2 centre. They’d like to add a depth centre…
Sights in the French capital Paris have also been impacted by the hot weather.The world’s most visited museum, the Louvre, said it would close its doors earlier this week. The Louvre said its historic building “remains fragile, external and is not sufficiently adapted to climate change”, adding that the “build-up of heat is at its highest at the end of the day, and intensified by the volume of visitors”.The Eiffel Tower is also closing earlier than usual on Tuesday and Wednesday.Among those who died in heatwave-related drownings was a six-year-old child who had gone to an unsupervised beach with his…
Fortune opened its flagship Fuel Up event at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity with a panel discussion with Gstaad Guy, the fictional Swiss bon vivant whose alter ego skewers the ultra-wealthy and lampoons the luxury brands many in the room work for. His signature verdict on anything falling short of his exacting standards: À la poubelle. Straight to the bin, darling. A mediocre canapé? À la poubelle. An uninspired brand campaign? À la poubelle. The word authenticity, deployed lazily at a marketing conference? Absolument à la poubelle. Gstaad Guy has become a sought-after partner for the very brands he satirizes, most recently through a collaboration with Bentley. “People are buying the things I’m speaking about playfully,…
