Wildfires stretching across Spain as heatwave continues

STORY: Wildfires stretching across Spain as heatwave continues DATELINE: July 19, 2022 LENGTH: 0:01:48 LOCATION: Madrid CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT SHOTLIST: 1. various of the forest fire in the north of Barcelona (courtesy of firefighters of the Spanish region of Catalonia) STORYLINE: Wildfires have so far burnt more than 22,000 hectares of woodland and scrub in Spain since the start of the heatwave over a week ago, emergency services calculated.
