La ola de calor alcanzó niveles críticos en Europa y activó la alerta roja en París y otras 15 regiones de Francia

París y otras quince regiones de Francia están bajo alerta roja este martes por una ola de calor que afecta al sur de Europa y que ha dejado récords históricos de temperatura en España y Portugal, además de una serie de incendios en países como Italia y Turquía. El fenómeno climático ha provocado restricciones, evacuaciones, cierres de escuelas y un creciente número de víctimas.
En Francia, la agencia meteorológica nacional Météo-France declaró el nivel máximo de alerta por temperaturas que podrían alcanzar los 41 ºC en zonas del país, incluida la capital. “Es algo nunca visto”, señaló la ministra de Transición Ecológica, Agnès Pannier-Runacher. Las autoridades anunciaron el cierre total o parcial de 1.350 escuelas debido al calor, casi el doble de las que ya habían sido cerradas el día anterior. Además, se restringirá la circulación de vehículos contaminantes en la región de Île-de-France y se cerrará el acceso a la cima de la Torre Eiffel como medida preventiva.

El calor extremo también se extiende por la península ibérica. En España, la Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) advirtió que, aunque las temperaturas comenzaron a descender levemente respecto al fin de semana, en el centro y sur del país el termómetro puede superar los 40 ºC. El sábado pasado, el municipio de El Granado, en Andalucía, alcanzó los 46 ºC, un nuevo récord para un mes de junio, superando la marca de 45,2 ºC registrada en Sevilla en 1965.
Portugal registró temperaturas aún más elevadas. En la localidad de Mora, a unos 100 kilómetros de Lisboa, se alcanzaron los 46,6 ºC, un récord nacional para un mes de junio, según medios locales. Las autoridades portuguesas lograron controlar un incendio forestal cerca de Castelo Branco, en el centro del país, pero advierten que el riesgo sigue siendo extremo en varias regiones con vegetación seca.

Los incendios también afectan otras áreas del Mediterráneo. En Turquía, más de 50.000 personas fueron evacuadas por múltiples incendios en la provincia de Esmirna, donde los equipos de rescate enfrentan vientos de hasta 120 km/h que complican los esfuerzos de contención. En Italia, bomberos combaten focos activos en varias regiones y se han reportado dos muertes vinculadas a las condiciones climáticas: una mujer de 77 años falleció por inhalación de humo en Potenza, al sur, y un hombre de 70 murió tras ser arrastrado por un torrente de agua y barro en la región del Piamonte, al norte.
El Ministerio de Salud italiano decretó la alerta roja por calor en 18 ciudades, entre ellas Roma, Florencia, Milán y Verona. Según Antonio Spano, fundador del sitio meteorológico ilmeteo.it, la ola de calor podría prolongarse hasta el final de la semana o más allá. Las imágenes difundidas en medios italianos mostraban a turistas y residentes huyendo de incendios en zonas costeras, como en Baia Domizia, cerca de Nápoles, donde las llamas alcanzaron pinares próximos a complejos hoteleros. “Nunca experimenté algo así. Estábamos rodeados por llamas de al menos 30 metros de altura”, escribió en redes sociales el alcalde de Cellole, Guido di Leone.

La situación también ha reabierto el debate sobre las condiciones carcelarias en países como Francia e Italia. “El calor exacerba las frustraciones y tensiones existentes”, alertó Wilfried Fonck, secretario nacional del sindicato de trabajadores penitenciarios en Francia.
El aumento de temperaturas en zonas urbanas es mayor debido al llamado “efecto isla de calor urbano”, explicó Emanuela Piervitali, investigadora del Instituto Italiano de Protección e Investigación Medioambiental (ISPRA). Este fenómeno acentúa el impacto del calor en ciudades densamente construidas y con escasa vegetación.
Las autoridades locales han puesto en marcha medidas para aliviar la situación. Marsella abrió el acceso gratuito a piscinas públicas, mientras Venecia organizó visitas guiadas a museos con aire acondicionado para personas mayores. En Madrid, la turista francesa Agathe Lacombe relató a AFP cómo la ola de calor ha obligado a reorganizar su viaje: “Tienes que adaptar toda la planificación del día, hacerlo todo en la mañana y volver a casa en las horas de más calor”.

En el ámbito laboral, los sindicatos españoles exigieron medidas preventivas tras la muerte de dos trabajadores por causas que se investigan como relacionadas con el calor. Además, el fenómeno afecta también a los Balcanes y al Reino Unido, donde Londres alcanzó 34 ºC este martes. En Wimbledon, el torneo de tenis comenzó con un récord térmico de 31,4 ºC en su jornada inaugural, según informó la BBC.
La ola de calor, según el programa europeo de observación terrestre Copernicus, también dejó el registro más alto de temperatura promedio del mar Mediterráneo para un mes de junio, lo que agrava aún más las condiciones meteorológicas y ecológicas en la región. El cambio climático, según coinciden los expertos, seguirá incrementando la frecuencia e intensidad de estos episodios extremos.

Local entrepreneur sounds alarm on local leaders over viral street attack: ‘Democrat monopoly’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
CINCINNATI, OHIO – Southwest Ohio residents are expressing outrage at local leadership after a viral street fight in their backyard that captured the nation’s attention. One resident, a local political activist, told Fox News Digital a «Democrat monopoly» is partially to blame.
The Saturday night violence in downtown Cincinnati on July 26, which left a woman knocked unconscious on the street at the hands of a male assailant, was the result of a city that wasn’t «prepared» due to political ideology, Price Hill native Adam Koehler told Fox News Digital. He added that the response to the fight was «not leadership.»
«Leadership comes out and says, ‘Hey, we’ve got a problem. Here’s my solution to fix it,’» Koehler said. «But instead, they want to be cowardly and hide the fact that crime is actually happening.»
Cincinnati’s mayor and other local officials have faced heated criticism in recent days over the perception they are not taking crime seriously. One elected Democrat, Councilwoman Victoria Parks, posted on social media saying that the victims of the fight «begged for that beatdown.»

«This is a Democrat monopoly they’ve got here,» Koehler, an entrepreneur and former candidate for Hamilton County commissioner, told Fox News Digital. «So, I mean they can just pretty much do whatever they want. And a lot of that kind of rhetoric is excused, right? It’s, you know, past injustices and you know now I feel like I can say whatever I want and it’s excused. And luckily there are some city council members that denounced the words that Victoria Parks said, which is great, but you’ve got other people that just want to stoke the flames.»
Holly, the woman brutally knocked out and bruised in the attack, told Fox News this week she is yet to receive a phone call from the mayor or top officials «just apologizing for what happened and for letting these thugs and criminals run the streets when they should have been in jail to begin with.»
Koehler told Fox News Digital that Democrats running the city «have an agenda» and «want to look a certain way» and «ignore the problem.»
«It’s a lot of these ideologies that come out of the universities, right?» Koehler said. «Every generation thinks they figured something out about crime and they’re soft-hearted people, they wanted to do things, but, you know, policies like what Giuliani did in New York, those kind of things work.»

Koehler, who was speaking to Fox News Digital outside a GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy town hall event on Cincinnati’s west side, said figures like Ramaswamy, Sen. Bernie Moreno, and Ohio native VP JD Vance are reasons to be optimistic about addressing the crime spike downtown.
«Those guys got power,» Koehler said. «I mean you start throwing the DOJ down here and start investigating some of the things that are happening, why wasn’t there more police there?»
Koehler added, «I mean there’s a lot of grifting that goes on whenever you have a one-party monopoly in any city. Obviously, you’re gonna have corruption. And it’s just, it’s festered here, and it’s culminated in what you see.»

Moreno said this week he is introducing «Holly’s Act,» a move aimed at ending what he calls the justice system’s revolving door for repeat offenders.
«Let’s be honest, because a lot of times you guys are qualifying this as a brawl,» Moreno told reporters. «This was attempted murder of an innocent woman. And that person had a rap sheet a mile long. Nobody who has that rap sheet should be walking the streets of any Ohio city free.»

California launches redistricting fight to ‘nullify’ Texas GOP plan, with Dems poised to gain 5 seats

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the controversy surrounding Texas’s redistricting efforts still rages, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that the Golden State will move forward with a plan for a special election in early November to place its own redistricting plan on a ballot measure before voters.
Newsom said the move was a counterpunch to Texas and was being done in a transparent fashion, but would also likely see Democrats pick up five seats if the measure is adopted. The plan would allow Democrats to temporarily bypass the state’s independent redistricting commission and adopt a new congressional map ahead of the 2026 elections.
«We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas and we will nullify what happens in Texas,» Newsom said at a Friday press conference flanked by several California lawmakers and some Texas Democrats who fled their state.

«We’ll pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And that’s the difference between the approach we’re taking and the approach they’re taking,» Newsom continued. «We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way and we’re doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support.»
California would be the first Democratic-led state to actively begin the process of passing new congressional district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms in response to Texas’s redistricting push.
Newsom said Democrats have until Aug. 22 to get the measure on the ballot and he railed against President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in justifying the move.
«Greg Abbott, who doesn’t have the courage, doesn’t have the backbone, doesn’t have a conscience of the consequences of his actions… is dialing now for new seats,» Newsom said Friday, referring to the Texas governor’s push for a mid-decade redistricting map and a call with President Trump.
«[Trump’s] agenda is failing. His presidency has failed. He knows the headwinds in a midterm. He’s dialing for seats now.»

‘ALL-OUT WAR’: FLEEING TEXAS DEMS SIDE WITH NEWSOM AS REDISTRICTING STANDOFF CONTINUES: ‘FIRE WITH FIRE’
Texas Republicans, encouraged by the Trump administration, are pursuing a congressional map aimed at adding up to five GOP-leaning districts, prompting fierce backlash and counteraction. Texas Democrats have fled the Lone Star State to Democrat-stronghold states to break quorum and halt the vote.
The Texas House requires a quorum of two-thirds of members present to conduct official business and state lawmakers have reported they plan to be absent from the state until the end of August, when the special session ends.
Texas Democrats argue that their state’s redistricting plan is unconstitutional and nakedly partisan.
Pelosi defended the Texas walkout, calling it «self-defense for our democracy.»
She said Democrats will not let Trump «pave over» free and fair elections in the country.

Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows signed arrest warrants for the absent Democrats on Monday, following the state House approving of such warrants and Gov. Greg Abbott calling on the Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest the «delinquent Texas House Democrats.» The arrest warrants are largely viewed as symbolic as they only apply to those within state lines.
California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, a Democrat, said maps would be available to view next week.
«Once these maps are released, voters will have the opportunity to digest these maps, review them for weeks and months leading to this election,» he said.
