Heatwave: 40 drownings in France, Starmer's resignation & more
The heatwave in Europe is leading to serious health consequences, while the United Kingdom is going through a political crisis with the resignation of Keir Starmer. In Belgium, Wallonia is assessing the impact of ten years of Brexit, as tensions persist around the Strait of Hormuz.
Be extremely vigilant when swimming: the current heatwave has caused 40 drowning deaths in France since June 18, primarily affecting young people. On Tuesday, 54 French departments were on alert. This intense heat, which is breaking records across the continent, represents a direct health risk for the region's residents.
The European political landscape is changing with the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer after only two years in power. This departure coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Brexit vote (the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union). Wallonia indicates that it has adapted to this historic change by finding solutions to maintain its trade.
The Strait of Hormuz, an essential maritime passage for global energy, saw record traffic of 36 ships on Monday. During a visit to the Gulf, American Marco Rubio stated that Washington would not accept any blockades or taxes in the area.
