Farmers Protest And Block On Highway A64 - France

A logo, Limousine Union 09-11. On the farmers blockade of the A64 highway with Les Ultras de l A64. Farmers have set up roadblocks on the A64 motorway near Carbonne. In recent days, roadblocks have been springing up across France to protest against the government s health policy on the contagious nodular dermatosis (DNC) epidemic. The slaughter of 200 cows in Ariege, a decision that pitted protesters against law enforcement for two days, has reignited the controversy. France, Carbonne, 13 December 2025.

Spain Gripped by Violent Wildfires

Several cows surround the 'miracle' tree, on August 17, 2025, in Soto de Viñuelas, Tres Cantos, Madrid (Spain). The real explanation is not "so miraculous": this tree is the only one in the area that provides shade for cattle, and cows usually take refuge there. In doing so, they eat the vegetation and trample the ground, leaving the land bare of grass. This natural clearing of the ground acted as a firebreak, preventing the flames from reaching the tree and saving both the cows and the small green patch around it, while the whole environment burned. It is a symbol of hope after the tragedy of the fire that devastated Tres Cantos last August 11, but it also serves to raise awareness of the importance of grazing and forest management to avoid such destructive forest fires.
