Spanish Prime Minister vows 'climate pact' on visit to fire-hit region

Spanish leader Pedro Sanchez promised on Sunday a "national pact" to deal with the climate emergency, as he visited a western region battling devastating wildfires.

Spain is entering its third week of heatwave alerts and firefighters are continuing to battle blazes in the northwest and west of the country, with army units deployed to help contain the flames. Spain is expected to remain on heat alert until Monday, with the extreme temperatures having significantly increased the risk of wildfires.
