Europe Cooks: Heatwave Kills, Strands, and Spikes Prices
A deadly heatwave sweeps western and southern Europe — forty drown in France, schools and hospitals shut in England, and Italy issues its highest health alerts. Britain pays six times the normal price for imported electricity as the heat dome crushes wind output and knocks out gas plants. Poland strips Zelenskyy of its highest state honour, deepening a rift with Ukraine. And a radio system failure halts every train in Germany, sending delays rippling through the continent's busiest rail network.
Keir Starmer resigns and the EU-UK summit is postponed, throwing live negotiations on defence and trade into limbo. Ukraine warns its ceasefire offer may not last as drone strikes cripple Russian fuel supplies and shut Moscow's airports. A deadly heatwave triggers red alerts across France, Italy, and Spain. And Romania's parliament rejects a PM-designate, deepening political crisis on NATO's eastern flank.

Britain's PM reportedly set to resign as Labour support collapses. Albania's Kushner-resort protests widen into an anti-establishment uprising just as EU accession talks advance. And a heat dome settles over Europe, putting more than a third of France under its highest alert level.
