Firefighters battle to contain wildfires across Greece


Greece is battling five major wildfires across the country, with officials evacuating residents in a hard-hit region just north of capital city Athens.

The ongoing emergency comes amid a severe heatwave with temperatures forecast to reach up to 44C (111.2F) on Sunday.

The BBC’s Nikos Papanikolaou is in Athens and said the number of fires meant the fire service was “struggling” to distribute resources.
