France In Flames: Wildfire Swallows 12,000 Hectares | Kills One, Nine Injured As Thousands Flee

A devastating wildfire is raging through southern France’s Aude department, leaving one woman dead, nine people—including firefighters—injured, and entire communities in peril. The blaze has already consumed up to 12,000 hectares—an area larger than Paris—damaging or destroying 25 homes. Hundreds of firefighters are engaged in a relentless battle, backed by water-dropping aircraft, as strong winds, scorching heat, and bone-dry vegetation fuel the inferno. Prime Minister François Bayrou is due to visit the scene, while President Macron has mobilized all national resources, urging utmost caution. Officials warn the fire is far from contained and will require days of sustained effort to control. Evacuations are underway, roads are closed, and smoke-choked airdays linger over the region. As France grapples with yet another brutal blaze during its drought-stricken summer, the human, environmental, and economic stakes continue to rise—in what experts say is just the beginning of a catastrophic fire season. #FranceWildfire #AudeFire #SouthernFranceBlaze #Wildfire2025 #FranceUnderFire #FrontlineFirefighters #FranceBurns #AudeDepartment #MacronMobilises #BayrouVisits #11KhectaresBurn #MediterraneanFires #ClimateCrisis #HomesLost #OneDeadNineInjured #FranceEmergency #SmokeAlert #FireEvacuations #FranceCrisis #HeatwaveFires ~HT.178~ED.420~GR.122~

EU President To Be Impeached? Macron, Orban EXPLODES Over EU-U.S Trade Deal | Slams Von Der Leyen

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared. Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically. #TrumpVsEU #EUTradeDeal #VonDerLeyen #TrumpTariffs #UkraineAid #USTroopsEurope #MacronSlamsEU #BrusselsBacklash #USvsEU #TradeUltimatum #EUSurrender #EuropeanUnion #TrumpDeal #EnergyImports #EUUSRelations #EUDefenseSpending #PostureReview #Geopolitics #VonDerLeyenUnderFire #SundayTimesReport ~ED.102~HT.408~

‘DEATH to Trump…’: Man SCREAMS ‘Bomb the Plane’ Mid-Air, Arrested After Scuffle in Scotland | VIDEO

Mid-air panic struck an EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow when a man screamed, “I’m going to bomb the plane,” triggering alarm among passengers. He was also heard yelling, “Death to America, death to Trump,” and “Allahu Akbar.” The shocking outburst was captured on video, now viral on social media. A male passenger quickly subdued the suspect before police arrested the 41-year-old upon landing in Glasgow. He remains in custody as counter-terrorism units examine the footage. Scotland Police confirmed investigations are ongoing. The airline, however, maintained that the safety of the passengers and flight was never compromised. Interestingly, the incident occurred just as former U.S. President Donald Trump was in Scotland finalizing a major trade deal with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. The timing and nature of the incident have raised security concerns as authorities dig deeper into the suspect’s motivations and background. #DeathToTrump #FlightBombThreat #EasyJet #ScotlandNews #AirlineScare #PlaneTerror #BreakingNews #AllahuAkbar #DonaldTrump #TrumpInScotland #TerrorAlert #MidAirDrama #UKPolice #GlasgowFlight #PassengerArrested #CounterTerrorism #PlaneChaos #ViralVideo #TrumpNews #FlightSecurity ~HT.410~GR.125~
