Wildfires rage in Spain and Portugal as heatwave continues

Thousands of firefighters have been battling huge blazes in Spain and Portugal on Saturday, as parts of southern Europe remain gripped by a record-breaking heatwave.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez warned of an "extreme risk" of new wildfires.

Meanwhile, Spain's national weather agency Aemet said that temperatures had exceeded 44C in several places on Saturday and warned of a very high risk of fires across "practically the entire country".

A heatwave has scorched swathes of southern Europe this week, prompting wildfires in Spain, Portugal, Greece, France and the Balkans.
