fight the fires again and again.

180 hectares have already burned in Morbihan after a fire broke out overnight from Thursday to Friday, around 1 a.m., near Campénéac, in the Brocéliande forest.
As for the fire raging in Gironde and in the Landes, it did not experience "significant progression" overnight, the prefecture announced on Friday.
7,400 ha of surfaces have been burned since Tuesday, and no other additional evacuations have been ordered.
The
unemployment rate
is almost stable.
In the 2nd quarter, the unemployment rate was 7.4% of the active population in France (excluding Mayotte) against 7.3% in the first quarter of the year, according to the latest figures from INSEE.
At the same time, the increase in inflation continues and is confirmed.
The rise in consumer prices in France accelerated in July to reach 6.1% over one year after 5.8% in June, INSEE confirmed this Friday in its final estimate, the highest level since July 1985.
The
workings
of the search at Donald Trump's home.
US Justice Minister Merrick Garland said on Thursday that he "personally approved" the FBI's spectacular search of former President Donald Trump's home in Florida on Monday, an unprecedented raid that angered the Republican camp.
During an exceptional press conference, the Democratic minister did not reveal anything about the reasons and the results of this operation but he - very unusual - announced that he had requested that the warrant which allowed the search be made public.
