Spain’s August heatwave was ‘most intense on record’, weather agency says

As firefighters battled wildfires in the north and west of Spain, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) reported having “the most intense” heatwave on record this month.

The organization stated in a statement on Sunday that the agency’s provisional readings for the heatwave from August 3 to August 4 exceeded the previous record, which was set in July 2022, and showed an average temperature of 4. 6 degrees Celsius (40. higher than the anticipated threshold (2 Fahrenheit).

According to AEMET, the most recent heatwave, which saw temperatures reach 43C (109F), is a result of an escalating trend of warmer summers brought on by the climate crisis.

It claimed that it is a coincidence that four of the five heat waves have occurred since 2019. The trend toward more extreme summers is obvious, even though not every summer will be the same as the previous one. The two main objectives are climate change adaptation and mitigation. ”

77 heatwaves have been recorded in Spain since AEMET began keeping track of its records in 1975, with six of them reaching 4C (39). above the recommended level (2F).

According to an estimate released on Tuesday by the Carlos III Health Institute, more than 1,100 deaths in Spain have been linked to the heatwave in August this year. The heatwave has also made Spain’s tinderbox conditions worse, causing wildfires that are still ravaging some areas of the nation.

The Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and the Spanish army all sent 3,400 troops and 50 aircraft to aid firefighters last week, in addition to the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Slovakia.

According to the European Union’s European Forest Fire Information System, the fires have consumed more than 382,000 hectares (945,00 acres), or about 3,820 square kilometers (1,475 square miles).

One of Southern Europe’s worst wildfire seasons in 20 years is occurring in the majority of the country.

Real Madrid overpower Oviedo 3-0 in La Liga as Mbappe scores twice

Real Madrid defeated newly-promoted Real Oviedo 3-3 to claim the win in the La Liga title game. Kylian Mbappe scored twice in each half before Vinicius added a late third to tie the game.

The arrival of the 15-time European champions on Sunday marked a grand occasion for Oviedo, who has been unable to do so for almost a quarter of a century.

In place of Rodrygo Goes and club captain Dani Carvajal, who both returned from injury, in Madrid’s opening 1-0 victory over Osasuna, coach Xabi Alonso made a few notable changes to his starting lineup.

However, in his half-hour cameo, Vinicius responded with an assist and a goal.

Franco Mastantuono, an Argentine teenager sensation, made his Los Blancos debut in a different way.

The 18-year-old showed off his explosive dribbling ability early on when he burst past two defenders inside the Oviedo box before going down and appealingly gazing at the uninterested referee.

Leander Dendoncker attempted to stop Thibaut Courtois with a chipped effort in the 23rd minute after making a surprisingly unusual foray forward on a through ball. The Belgian shot-stopper quickly recovered the ball from the sky after a hasty retreat.

When Madrid almost won, goalkeeper Aaron Escandell superbly saved an Arda Guler drive from inside the box.

On 37 minutes, the Turkish international turned provider when he drilled a pass into Mbappe’s feet, which the Frenchman welcomed on the turn before slamming Escandell.

After Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni appeared to follow through on Dendoncker when he returned possession for his side in the build-up, the goal was met by irate protests from the home side.

Five minutes into the second period, Madrid almost doubled their lead when a defensive error saw a clearance slit straight into the hands of a grateful Escandell.

Vinicius and Brahim Diaz made way for Rodrygo and the lively Mastantuono shortly after the hour.

When Diaz’s cushioned pass found the Uruguayan inside the box, he immediately had a gilt-edged chance, but Escandell saved the ball with a fingertip save to keep the score at 1-0.

On 81 minutes, Kwasi Sibo struck the post for Oviedo just outside the bounds of wildening the home support, with Courtois rooted to the spot.

That chance brought Madrid to life. After two minutes, Vinicius Jr. won the ball and headed in the direction of the box before slipping a covert pass to Mbappe, who slotted home first.

Diaz found the Brazilian in space in the 93rd minute, and he slipped his composed finish home in the final seconds.

Alonso, the manager of Real Madrid, expressed his gratitude for the team’s impressive talent.

The squad includes more than 20 players, according to the statement. They must feel significant to everyone. When asked why Vinicious Jr. had started on the bench, he responded, “I make decisions that are good for the team”.

We are seeing what we’re doing well and what we need to improve, the author says. Good feelings are expressed.

Escandell, the goalkeeper for Real Oviedo, lamented the “mistakes” his team committed in an interview with DAZN following the game.

“We didn’t compete as we believed we could in the first half.” He claimed that mistakes cost a lot in comparison to these teams. I want to thank the fans who, in my opinion, set a record for the number of fans.

After scoring his team’s second goal, Mbappe, center, is congratulated by teammates Vinicius Jr., right, and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Villarreal also defeated Girona 5-0 at home thanks to Tajon Buchanan’s hat-trick to open his La Liga account.

Girona, who played Champions League football last season, is bottom of the table with seven goals conceded and none scored as a result of a second consecutive defeat to start the season.

Real Sociedad rallied to earn a point against Espanyol after half-time with a 2-0 lead.

In eight second-half minutes, Sociedad were led by Pere Milla and Javi Puado before Ander Barrenetxea and Orri Oskarsson responded.

Jeff Brazier tells son Freddy ‘I hope you come home tonight’ after sweet reunion

Freddy appears to be burying the hatchet with a sweet social media post in honor of Jeff, despite recent tension between the Brazier father and son.

Freddy Brazier has made a public display of filial affection after months of family tension, by sharing a heartfelt post about watching his father perform on stage.

The aspiring model, who is the younger son of late reality TV star Jade Goody, posted a montage of photos on Instagram after seeing Jeff Brazier in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical.

Freddy praised his father’s stage debut, saying, “I’ve watched 101 Dalmatians three times.” Some people would say that Fred, you don’t have much time on your hands? I do have way too much time on my hands, I guess!

But I just adore it when my dad is at work, having fun, and smiling. I’ve loved talking to everyone I’ve ever spoken to or gone with, as well as my father and the rest of the cast. If you haven’t seen it, you have until the 30th, so hurry up! “What a great show.

Jeff, 45, responded to the tribute to his son with an upbeat statement that implied a potential for more intimate reunification at home. He remarked, “This is beautiful, Fred, I appreciate your time.” I’m there for you through every storm, and I’m forever with you. Hopefully see you home tonight.

The father and son’s relationship, which is said to have been strained in recent months, has been hit by a difficult time.

Freddy left his family home to live with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden this spring, making headlines.

According to reports, Jeff expressed concern that Freddy was pictured smoking and spending more time with Jackiey, who Jeff has a long-standing feud with, and that she was to blame.

He has previously claimed that Jackiey would spoil his sons with “unsuitable” presents, including a hamster, without first checking if that was okay.

Freddy revealed in June that he planned to go to rehab in Spain to treat his smoking addiction after a personally turbulent year.

He acknowledged that I’ve been smoking since I was 12 years old. I relied on it to make me feel sane and somewhat okay, and it was a bad coping mechanism that led to an addiction.

He continued, “I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father,” adding that he wanted to be “clean” in order to repair relationships within his family, particularly with Jeff and Jackiey.

Freddy’s struggles have reportedly been compounded by feelings of being overshadowed by his older brother Bobby, 22, who has enjoyed major success with EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing.

A source previously claimed that Freddy felt like he had “fallen into the background”, leading to his rebellious streak.

Despite the rocky patch in their father son relationship, Jeff has continued to publicly support his son. During an appearance on Loose Women earlier this year, the presenter admitted Freddy was “eager” to watch him perform in 101 Dalmatians.

Dragons’ Den star Alessandro Savelli left the show empty-handed but ended up being worth £40million. The star co-founded and is the CEO of the popular Pasta Evangelists – a fresh pasta brand which originally started as letter box posted food kits.

Following his appearance on the show, Alessandro’s company is set to open 100 new restaurants across the UK in the next few years, including in the Midlands, Scotland and in the south of England. In a recent chat with The Grocer, the CEO discussed the brand’s plans to expand.

He claimed that the company is investing $30 million in new restaurants. He explained that “the demand for our fresh, expertly prepared artisan pasta is growing.”

“Our goal is to become the UK’s quickest-growing, casual dining hotspot and the sexiest place to eat for pasta lovers of all ages”…

He continued, “We are confident that our business model is robust and dynamic, but the hospitality industry is currently going through tough times.”

The trend has already been reversed by us with the confirmed opening of five additional restaurants in the next three months and more to come.

In 2018, Alessandro and his business partner Finn Lagun requested a £75,000 investment and a 2.5% share of the company at the show. Jenny Campbell called Finn “delusional” and “a disaster,” and they rejected their pitch.

Anshu brought DabbaDrop to Dragons' Den

Anshu Ahuja, who entered the Den in an episode that aired, hoped to get £100, 000 for 3% of her business, DabbaDrop, was one of the many people who received rejection on Dragons’ Den.

The founder and her business partner had completed their sustainable takeaway venture in 2018, which had been inspired by Mumbai’s dabbawala system, in 2018, and had already raised more than £3, 000.

The entrepreneur was looking for investment from the likes of Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Touker Suleyman, Deborah Meaden, and Steven Bartlett to help upscale DabbaDrop and encourage its growth outside of London.

Anshu was unable to persuade the Dragons to invest despite the inspiring ethics behind the sustainable product and the fact that DabbaDrop had already generated more than £800,000 in its most recent year.

She stated in a statement about the show that, given our extensive work before Dragons’ Den and our own fundraising campaign, the £4 million valuation was independently determined based on our £850,000 in revenue and the 1,500 subscriber lifetime value, which is close to £400 per subscriber. We also had a 1, 000-person waiting list at the time, which is currently, even before airing, at 4, 000 people.

Anshu was aware that pitching her business on national television was a “risk,” but she was willing to take it because the team was raising money for DabbaDrop when the show was approached.

They had already attracted more than £2,000 in investment, had received millions of Instagram views, and pledged more than £1, 000,000.

Fleetwood wins Tour Championship for first PGA Tour title

Final leaderboard for the Tour Championship

-18 T Fleetwood (Eng), -15 P Cantlay (US), R Henley (US), -14 S Scheffler (US), C Conners (Can), C Young (US)

Selected: -13 J Thomas (US), K Bradley (US), -11 V Hovland (Nor), -10 S Lowry (Ire), -9 R MacIntyre (Sco), -7 J Rose (Eng), -6 R McIlroy (NI)

Tommy Fleetwood persevered to win the Tour Championship and, at the 164th attempt, to win his first PGA Tour crown.

After he holed the winning putt on the 18th green, the 34-year-old Englishman cried out in awe as he saluted the crowd who had raised both arms and sounded a loud roar.

As Fleetwood won the FedEx Cup by three shots, under par, and won the $10 million (£7.4 million) first prize, his European Ryder Cup team-mate Justin Rose was greenside filming the final putt and celebrations on his phone.

A three-shot lead down the last doesn’t feel like that many when you’ve lost so many, joked Fleetwood, who was teary-eyed.

The fans are amazing, and it gives me a little emotional energy. I’m so fortunate to receive such exceptional support, and I hope everyone understands my gratitude.

Fleetwood’s previous seven victories on the European-based DP World Tour were his eighth career title, which means he has escaped the dreaded stereotype of being the nearly man of the American PGA Tour circuit.

He becomes the first Englishman to win the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship, following Rose in 2018, and the first one to do so since the FedEx Cup era, which dates back to 2007 ().

With the Ryder Cup in New York on the horizon next month, Fleetwood’s victory was secured by an assurance that will greatly benefit European golfers.

One of the most well-known players on the PGA Tour is Southport’s Fleetwood, who received a much louder ovation on the first tee than his American playing partner Cantlay.

After the first three rounds, the pair were tied at 16 under, but Fleetwood was four shots clear after birdieing the second while Cantlay opened with a bogey and double bogey.

The world number one, who was four shots adrift, hit his opening tee shot out of bounds, giving Scheffler a setback in the first round.

However, a bogey on the fifth attempted to refute any notions that Fleetwood would win the title.

With nine minutes left, he was three clear of the drama, but his sixth and seventh-round bogeys made it three clear.

His lead was cut to one after a bogey on the 10th and a Cantlay birdie. Given that they were nearly two holes behind the group in front, the pair were also instructed to increase the pace of play.

With birdies on the 12th and 13th holes, Fleetwood extended his lead by two to two.

Scheffler, who won both the Open Championship and US PGA Championship this year, was still present. Scheffler was 15 under and two under when he finally came out on the par-three 15th when he posted a double-bogey five.

The hopes of US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley suffered the same fate a short while later.

Bradley, who will make his decision on Wednesday whether to choose himself from his six choices for the Bethpage Black contest in the coming month, snuck into the lake after playing a tee shot all weekend.

He had denied Fleetwood his first victory at the Travelers Championship in June because he was out of steam in Atlanta.

Russell Henley, Bradley’s playing partner, did not move much as much as Bradley did. In a one-under-par 69, he missed numerous birdie putts, putting him in second place with Cantlay (15 under).
