Canada Wildfires Impact North America's Air Quality

Handout photo dated on August 3, 2025, shows Canada is currently facing an intense fire season, with hundreds of active wildfires across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, prompting the evacuation of thousands of residents. Smoke from these fires has severely degraded air quality both locally and across borders, including the United States. This false colour image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 3 August 2025, shows the smoke cloud from the wildfires engulfing skies over Canada and the US. According to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), June and July 2025 saw severe wildfire activity in Canada, with daily total wildfire intensity and emissions consistently above the 2003-2024 average throughout the summer.

Construction Of The BRF Jacques Stosskopf - Saint-Nazaire

The Jacques Stosskopf, the second Bâtiment Ravitailleur de Forces (BRF) of the French Navy, is seen docked at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire. Launched on August 19, 2024, this 194-meter vessel is set to undergo sea trials in spring 2025, with delivery expected in summer 2025. Designed to replace the aging Durance-class tankers, the BRF will ensure fuel, ammunition, and supply support for naval operations worldwide. Named in honor of Jacques Stosskopf, a French naval engineer and resistance fighter, the ship pays tribute to his courage and sacrifice during World War II. Stosskopf, who secretly aided the Allies while working at the Lorient submarine base, was executed by the Nazis in 1944 for espionage. Saint-Nazaire, France – March 22, 2025.
