Here in France,0:11a self-sustaining blaze in the Gironde0:13region is pushing toward Bordeaux, the0:15nation's wine capital, prompting what0:17the interior minister is calling an0:18unprecedented evacuation operation. More0:20than 160,000 people have evacuated0:23Southwest France. The fire began near0:25Cap Ferret on the Atlantic coast and has0:28grown into a fire storm, a blaze so0:30intense it creates its own weather.0:311,400 firefighters are on the lines in0:34Gironde alone, backed by military A400M0:37cargo planes dropping flame retardant.0:39At least 50 firefighters have been0:41injured.

The disruption even1:01reached the Tour de France, whose final1:03stage was truncated and moved inside1:05Paris. Across the border in Spain, the1:07situation is equally dire.
