A so-called “heat dome” is pushing temperatures across Europe to extreme levels. Deaths have already been reported in France and the UK, as authorities warn of growing risks.
DW correspondent Lisa Louis reports from Paris on how people and governments are coping. And climate researcher Peter Thorne, Director of ICARUS, explains why this heat is so unusual — and what it tells us about climate change.
The UN calls it a “brutal reminder” of the climate crisis — and experts say such events could become more frequent.

Mexico is home to 130 million people, and while Spanish is the de facto tongue, the country hosts a “Linguistic Multiverse” of 68 official indigenous languages. These aren’t dialects, they are the surviving operating systems of ancient kingdoms, empires, and isolated mountain civilizations that the Spanish Crown could never fully conquer.
