European countries recorded more than 10,000 deaths above the average during the unprecedented heatwave that hit the western part of the continent in late June. The vast majority – more than 9,000 – were people aged 65 or older, according to data published by EuroMOMO, a network supported by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the WHO. Extreme heat can cause death by exacerbating, especially, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, with older people being the most vulnerable. However, some experts point out that some of the deaths related to high temperatures are actually due to pollution.

Today is an important day for two million dependents, those who can make history because it can change their lives.

Also, to improve current services and benefits and expand them, as well as to finally end the shameful precariousness of the sector’s professionals.

Didier Deschamps and the revenge of the ‘gregario’

Alen Craig05 mins

Reviewing the biography of Didier Deschamps (Bayonne, 1968) it is striking that he has not even turned 60. The French coach seems to have spent his whole life on the bench of les bleus, but when the World Cup ends in a few days and he concludes his successful 14-year tenure leading his country, he will still have much to live for. “The French national team is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” he repeats with that inscrutable expression, halfway between a smile and a grimace.

France – Spain, World Cup semifinal: Who fears whom

Sea or mountain. Cold or heat. Order or chaos. Lamine Yamal or Mbappé. Spain or France. To each their own. What is certain is that the first World Cup semifinal confirms a new rivalry, a classic of modern football, a clash between what are surely the two most powerful national teams in the world, if Messi allows it. In Dallas, both sides of the Pyrenees face off in a semifinal of a major tournament for the third consecutive time.
