More than 250,000 people flee their homes in France and Spain as wildfires burnLEGE-CAP FERRET, France (AP) — France was preparing to use a massive specially adapted cargo aircraft to dump flame retardants Saturday on a wildfire that has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, including from some suburbs of the wine region city of Bordeaux. Including some 70,000 people evacuated in central Spain, wildfires in southern Europe this week have displaced more than 250,000 people. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the hulking A400M aircraft will join 18 other water- and retardant-dropping planes and helicopters waging an expected “long and very difficult” battle against the blaze raging in the Gironde region of southwestern France.Houthis fire missiles and drones at Saudi
