Satellite View of Gulf of Morbihan - France

Handout Satellite View, dated October 17, 2025, shows the Gulf of Morbihan in France. The Gulf of Morbihan, part of the Natura 2000 network, forms one of France’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. This inland sea is dotted with dozens of small islands and peninsulas, creating a labyrinth of sheltered bays, narrow channels, and shifting tidal flats. Its highly indented shape supports a mosaic of coastal habitats, from eelgrass meadows to mudflats, which provide vital feeding and breeding grounds for migratory birds and numerous marine species. Located in Brittany, near towns such as Vannes, Arradon, and Arzon, the gulf’s intricate contours are clearly visible in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image acquired on 17 October 2025. The deep blues highlight the flooded channels at high tide, while surrounding vegetation appears in bright green. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Wildfire Rages Through Los Padres Forest - USA

Gifford Fire burns 30,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest on August 2, 2025. Flames sweep through rugged terrain near Santa Maria, California, forcing evacuations and endangering nearby communities and wildlife. Firefighters battle extreme heat, shifting winds, and dry vegetation as they work to contain the rapidly expanding wildfire. The blaze, fueled by ongoing drought and high temperatures, sends thick smoke across the region, prompting air quality warnings and road closures. The Gifford Fire becomes one of the largest wildfires of the season in California, illustrating the intensifying impact of climate change on fire behavior and frequency in the American West. Authorities continue to monitor fire lines while urging residents to remain alert to changing conditions. Photo by Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Arab Tribes Mobilize Toward Sweida - Syria

A new batch of Arab tribesmen, estimated in the thousands, departs from Idlib and its surrounding countryside toward the southern city of Sweida, Syria, on July 18, 2025. The movement is part of a growing mobilization driven by complex tribal dynamics and shifting alliances in the context of Syria’s long-running conflict. Tribal groups play a pivotal role in regional politics and security, often navigating between local authorities, armed factions, and national interests. Their relocation reflects mounting pressure and instability in northern Syria, as well as strategic efforts to assert influence in the Druze-majority region of Sweida. The convoy includes both fighters and civilians, many traveling in vehicles over long distances under difficult conditions. This tribal realignment could have significant implications for local governance, military balance, and social cohesion in southern Syria. Photo by Omar Albaw/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Arab Tribes Mobilize Toward Sweida - Syria

A new batch of Arab tribesmen, estimated in the thousands, departs from Idlib and its surrounding countryside toward the southern city of Sweida, Syria, on July 18, 2025. The movement is part of a growing mobilization driven by complex tribal dynamics and shifting alliances in the context of Syria’s long-running conflict. Tribal groups play a pivotal role in regional politics and security, often navigating between local authorities, armed factions, and national interests. Their relocation reflects mounting pressure and instability in northern Syria, as well as strategic efforts to assert influence in the Druze-majority region of Sweida. The convoy includes both fighters and civilians, many traveling in vehicles over long distances under difficult conditions. This tribal realignment could have significant implications for local governance, military balance, and social cohesion in southern Syria. Photo by Omar Albaw/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
