Europe heatwave live: Hundreds flee wildfires for third day as Greece braces for extreme temperatures

Firefighters worked throughout the night and four aircraft sent from Italy and France will soon join the efforts to keep the flames at bay, as a second heatwave is forecast to start in Greece on Thursday.
