Spain swelters as France braces for pre-summer heatwave to hit
An unusually early heatwave in Spain, which has been sizzling residents since the weekend, spread to the centre and north-east of the country on Wednesday.
During the heatwave, many residents in Paris have to deal with a strike by rubbish collectors. In 10 city districts, the bins have remained unemptied since Monday and hundreds of tons of rubbish have piled up on the pavements.

According to the city, a solution to the situation is being worked on. Rubbish collection drivers are demanding an adjustment of their wages because of the strong rate of inflation.
