is once again struggling to handle the heat. High temperatures and low rainfall have resulted in issues with fresh water supply across the country. \n\nThis week, over 30,000 commune inhabitants have had their water supplies disrupted. Some 67 communes are now receiving water by tanker and 18 by bottles. \n\nWhy is there a drought in France? \n\nLike much of Europe , France has been suffering with unusually hot weather all summer. \n\nIn June, the European Drought Agency classified a third of the continent as being in drought conditions, with 10 per cent of Europe in a state of crisis. \n\nOther countries experiencing unusually high temperatures include Greece, Sicily, Italy and Spain, while July clocked in as the hottest month ever recorded on Earth . \n\nThe extreme weather events are being driven by the El Ni\u00f1o weather pattern , as well as the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on our environment. \n\nWhy is France\u2019s water level so low? \n\nFrance\u2019s low water levels aren\u2019t just a result of this year\u2019s heatwave. They are the consequence of over a year\u2019s worth of higher-than-average temperatures. \n\n2022 was the country\u2019s hottest year on record and was followed by an unusually dry 2023. Between 21 January and 21 February, no rain fell at all. \n\nThough there has been some rainfall in recent months, the ground is too dry to hold onto it, meaning most of the water runs off or is absorbed by plants. As a result, it\u2019s of little help to water tables. \n\nWater tables are the point underground at which groundwater saturates spaces between rock and sediment below the soil\u2019s surface. At the water table, water pressure and atmospheric pressure are equal. They\u2019re important as they help measure aquifers (underground rock with holds water) from which we draw water to use in daily life. \n\nChristophe B\u00e9chu, the Minister for Ecological Transition, doesn\u2019t see that changing much \u201cbefore the end of August\u201d. Even if water tables do improve, experts think it unlikely that enough will be stored to offset what\u2019s needed to supply drinking water. \n\nHow does the drought in France this year compare to 2022? \n\nWhile this summer\u2019s supply issues are serious, they\u2019re not yet as bad as last year when nearly 700 divisions went without water for at least part of each day. \n\nB\u00e9chu says that thanks to measures set up during the summer of 2022, the Ministry has been able to \u201canticipate that the situation [was] going to be complex\". \n\nHowever, projections made earlier this year suggest that France\u2019s 2023 drought issues could end up being worse than 2022 following an exceptionally dry winter. \n\nWhere else in Europe is affected by drought? \n\nMany countries across Europe have been experiencing rising temperatures , with Italy, Sicily, Turkey and Greece particularly hard hit. \n\nAs a result, wildfires have sprung up in numerous locations in recent months, with especially bad outbreaks in Corfu, Spain and Portugal . \n\nWhile some countries are struggling with a lack of water, others are experiencing an overabundance of it. In central Europe Slovenia , Austria, Georgia and Hungary have been hit with flash floods which have destroyed buildings and bridges and swept away vehicles. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Following the country\u2019s hottest year ever in 2022, France is once again struggling to handle the heat.

So I thought it was important to talk about our era, because hip-hop doesn\u2019t belong only to the Paris suburbs, it\u2019s evolved. What remains powerful about it is the message.

Now, new research shows that an innovative vaccine could impact the prevalence of Lyme-causing bacteria in the insects. \n\nPublished in the journal Microbiome last month , the French study looked at a new vaccine given to mice that targets the gut microbiota (the microbes including bacteria living in ticks\u2019 guts) to reduce the prevalence of Borrelia afzelii , the bacterium that causes Lyme in Europe. \n\nThe researchers vaccinated mice to create antibodies against another \u201cTrojan horse\u201d bacteria in an effort to influence ticks\u2019 gut microbes. \n\nThey found that the ticks that bit the vaccinated mice had fewer Lyme-causing bacteria in their gut microbiota than those that bit the unvaccinated animals. \n\n\"The discovery is a break with current paradigms on vaccinations,\" Alejandro Cabezas-Cruz, principal investigator at the French National Institute for Research into Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), told Euronews Next. \n\nHe added that scientists have struggled with developing vaccines against vector-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease or malaria which are transmitted by insect bites and hopes that this could be a step towards eradicating vector-borne illnesses in the future. \n\nJohn Aucott, the director of the Lyme Disease Research Centre at Johns Hopkins University in the US, told Euronews Next that the study, which he was not involved in, was interesting but noted it was in the early phases. \n\nHe pointed out that there are also vaccines being studied in mice to prevent the spread of bacteria to ticks. \n\n\"The issue with these kinds of vaccines for the mouse is how do you get it into all the mice? It's a tough challenge to figure out how you would actually implement it in over large thousands of square miles of mouse habitats. So, that's the practical aspect. But that's a long way down the road,\" he said. \n\nWhat is Lyme disease? \n\nLyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States and in Europe. \n\nIt is caused by a bacterium that normally lives in mice, squirrels and other mammals and is passed to humans through a tick bite. \n\nMost cases of the disease can be treated with antibiotics but no vaccine is currently available for humans, despite some being available for dogs. \n\nPfizer is currently running a late-stage trial of a vaccine for humans in the US and Europe, which is the only vaccine candidate in clinical development. The only other human vaccine was pulled from the market in the early 2000s, a few years after being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). \n\nThis was due in part to concerns about adverse side effects and anti-vaccine sentiment, researchers have said . \n\nWhat are the symptoms of Lyme disease? \n\nAround 60 to 80 per cent of people infected with Lyme disease will get a rash around the bite area, according to the European Centres for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). \n\n\"Early diagnosis is still a clinical diagnosis based on the identification of the characteristic skin lesion called erythema migrans. But the problem is everyone thinks that that's easy to identify. It turns out it's not,\" said Aucott. \n\n\"It's not the typical classic kind of bull's eye that often gets shown in articles.. that's actually only a minority of lesions and so the rest of the lesions don't have that classic appearance\". \n\nFever, headache fatigue and skin rash also are typical symptoms of Lyme disease. \n\nPain in the back and legs is a symptom that is more common in Europe than in the US as well as a skin condition called acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans which occurs in late-stage Lyme disease. It is characterised by lesions and skin atrophy. \n\nIf Lyme disease is left untreated in the early stages, it can spread to the heart, joints, brain, and nerves, but it is still difficult to diagnose with the only blood tests available focusing on antibodies which take weeks for infected humans to produce. \n\n\"The problem is how to treat the people that get the post-treatment Lyme disease,\" said Aucott. \n\n\"That's the challenge because it's like long haul COVID. We don't really know how to treat it effectively because we don't understand in detail the mechanisms of the disease, what's causing it\". \n\nCould Lyme disease increase due to climate change? \n\nLyme disease could be on the rise in Europe, but more surveillance data is needed, researchers have said. \n\nAn analysis published in 2019 found that diagnosis of Lyme was on the rise in \"some Western European countries\" but that better surveillance was necessary particularly in \"southern countries\". \n\nThe incidence in Europe is highest in Scandinavian and Baltic countries and some central European countries, according to research from 2021. \n\nIn France, there has been an increase in the number of Lyme cases diagnosed over the last two decades, according to the country\u2019s public health agency . \n\n\"Increasing temperature favours the life cycle of ticks. So, they can develop better because they are not very well suited to cold temperatures,\" said Cabezas-Cruz. This means that certain countries, he explained, will start seeing more of these vectors and will need to be concerned about Lyme disease and other illnesses. \n\nLyme disease was first identified in the US state of Connecticut in the 1970s. \n\nThe incidence of the illness in the United States has doubled since 1991, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . \n\nClimate change has been shown to contribute to the expansion of ticks through shorter winters and warming temperatures and could thus increase the potential risk of Lyme disease. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Ticks have long been a scourge of the summer months as vectors of multiple serious illnesses including Lyme disease.

All the attributes of daily life are present in the powerfully staged photographs the author is famous for. The human in the centre of this universe looks lost but also at home. Are they still in control? Do they still dream?\u00a0 \n\nThe exhibition offers some of the most famous of Crewdson's series shot between 2012 and 2022 - 'Cathedral of the Pines', 'An Eclipse of Moths' and 'Eveningside' shown for the first time in France. Romantic, political and autobiographic at the same time, the trilogy is introduced by the photographer's work 'Fireflies' from 1996. The elaborate postproduction, common for his later work, is not present here. It is a gentle and intimate invitation to observe and contemplate. \n\nSplendor of the Artisan by Zofia Kulik \n\nThe exhibition by Poland's Zofia Kulik invites us into a truly unique universe. Approach it with a rested mind, as the artist's intricately detailed photographic compositions, encompassing a myriad of elements \u2013 symbolic poses of models, flowers, skulls, ornamental objects, and draperies \u2013 promise to guide you on a fulfilling journey that you wouldn't want to overlook. Every aspect is purposeful: the expansive visuals are meticulously crafted using the artist\u2019s distinct techniques, narrating tales of totalitarian political regimes, mortality, patriarchal culture, and human relationships. \n\nOne in Three Women by Nieves Mingueza \n\nNieves Mingueza reimagines the concept of evidence in cases of gender-based crimes, occurrences often confined within private spaces or evading conventional measures of proof. Through her project 'One in Three Women', she manipulates images, integrates text from UN reports, and incorporates domestic interiors to illuminate the oppressive environment that governs women's lives. Mingueza challenges us to redirect our focus away from the women themselves and onto the patriarchal landscapes enabling violence. These images reveal the limitations of photography as mere evidence, prompting a reassessment of our interpretation of family archives. The work confronts the tension existing between visible information and concealed narratives, the demands of justice, and the insufficient outcomes in instances of gender-based violence. \n\nCasa Susanna by Isabelle Bonnet and Sophie Hackett \n\nThe Exhibition Casa Susanna opens the doors to the intimate lives of a minority of crossdressers in America's 1950s-60s, thanks to the discovery of 340 prints at the New York flea market in 2004. The images stand out as they portray men dressed as women, assuming identities as \"respectable\" housewives and the girl next door from seven decades ago. \n\nBehind the photographs lies a hidden network of crossdressers, who were fathers and professionals in the white American middle class. In a time of strict gender norms and societal segregation, they found solace in correspondence, ran an underground magazine named Transvestia, and held meetings in the safe haven of Casa Susanna, the home of Susanna and her wife Marie - located a few hours away from New York. The exhibition explores their collective identity and defiance against archaic masculinity, highlighting their significance as the first-known trans network in the US. \n\nThe exhibition curators, Isabelle Bonnet and Sophie Hackett, say they have tried to strike a balance between historical facts, the ways the individuals in the Casa Susanna circle self-identified, and the contemporary awareness of a spectrum of gender identities. \n\nS\u00f8sterskap - Contemporary Nordic photography \n\nThe exhibition, whose name translates to 'Sisterhood' in English, brings together photographers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It highlights the influential role of local photographers and offers feminism's perspective on the 'Nordic model,' which represents the politics of a welfare state that has provided social security and welfare services to all citizens since the 1980s. This system has improved living and working conditions while promoting openness, tolerance, and equality. \n\nThe project delves into the relationship between the subjective, collective, and political aspects of the political system, exploring topics such as family life, gender roles, labour, ethnicity, and colonialism. Moreover, it addresses the darker aspects of the welfare state, including the environmental impact of continuous economic growth. \n\nBetween our walls by Sogol & Joubeen Studio \n\n'Between Our Walls' is a photo-based research project that narrates the story of a house in northern Tehran, constructed during the 1950s by a middle-class family. Following the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the family left Iran, leaving the house and its objects behind, hoping for a homecoming that never happened. \n\nThe project explores the dialogue between architecture, interior design, domestic objects, correspondence, and the family's photo archive. It symbolises the course of modernisation and radical changes in Iranian lifestyle during the 1950s and 1960s, and offers a glimpse of a lifestyle that disappeared amidst the developments of the Islamic Revolution. \n\nRencontres d'Arles lasts until 24 September. \n\n","htmlText":"<h2>Arles, an enchanting town situated in the southern region of France, takes centre stage each summer as it hosts one of Europe's most significant festivals dedicated to photography and visual arts.<\/h2><p>The 54th edition&#039;s theme, \"A State of Consciousness\", underscores the festival&#039;s dedication to exploring the various ways photography can serve as a means to document and contemplate the world that surrounds us.<\/p>\n<p>The participating photographers and curators of the festival guide us in perceiving the profound transformations that our world is presently undergoing.

Through her project &#039;One in Three Women&#039;, she manipulates images, integrates text from UN reports, and incorporates domestic interiors to illuminate the oppressive environment that governs women&#039;s lives. Mingueza challenges us to redirect our focus away from the women themselves and onto the patriarchal landscapes enabling violence. These images reveal the limitations of photography as mere evidence, prompting a reassessment of our interpretation of family archives. The work confronts the tension existing between visible information and concealed narratives, the demands of justice, and the insufficient outcomes in instances of gender-based violence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-extended widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1.004421768707483\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//07//79//67//28//1280x1280_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg/" alt=\"Nieves Mingueza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/384x386_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/640x643_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/750x753_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/828x832_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1080x1085_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1200x1205_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1920x1928_cmsv2_2cc6e186-e6ea-5287-81c9-08020914b692-7796728.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Untitled, One in Three Women series, 2021<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Nieves Mingueza<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Casa Susanna by Isabelle Bonnet and Sophie Hackett<\/h2><p>The Exhibition Casa Susanna opens the doors to the intimate lives of a minority of crossdressers in America&#039;s 1950s-60s, thanks to the discovery of 340 prints at the New York flea market in 2004. The images stand out as they portray men dressed as women, assuming identities as \"respectable\" housewives and the girl next door from seven decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the photographs lies a hidden network of crossdressers, who were fathers and professionals in the white American middle class. In a time of strict gender norms and societal segregation, they found solace in correspondence, ran an underground magazine named Transvestia, and held meetings in the safe haven of Casa Susanna, the home of Susanna and her wife Marie - located a few hours away from New York. The exhibition explores their collective identity and defiance against archaic masculinity, highlighting their significance as the first-known trans network in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition curators, Isabelle Bonnet and Sophie Hackett, say they have tried to strike a balance between historical facts, the ways the individuals in the Casa Susanna circle self-identified, and the contemporary awareness of a spectrum of gender identities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-extended widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.7809090909090909\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//07//79//67//28//1280x1000_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg/" alt=\"Collection Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/384x300_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/640x500_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/750x586_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/828x647_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1080x843_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1200x937_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/79\/67\/28\/1920x1499_cmsv2_8f8de919-1e8e-5914-ba36-2c2fb485c427-7796728.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Unknown American.

It highlights the influential role of local photographers and offers feminism&#039;s perspective on the &#039;Nordic model,&#039; which represents the politics of a welfare state that has provided social security and welfare services to all citizens since the 1980s. This system has improved living and working conditions while promoting openness, tolerance, and equality.<\/p>\n<p>The project delves into the relationship between the subjective, collective, and political aspects of the political system, exploring topics such as family life, gender roles, labour, ethnicity, and colonialism.

opened a preliminary investigation following the publication on Tuesday of a communiqu\u00e9 from the Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC) which claimed responsibility for 16 attacks. \n\nThe investigation was opened for \"criminal conspiracy to prepare acts of terrorism\", according to a judicial source. \n\nIn a four-page press release sent to Coriscan daily newspaper Corse-Matin and consulted by AFP, the clandestine group claims to have carried out 13 attacks against residences, one against a vehicle belonging to a \"CRS officer\", and two against bank branches: Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale in Corte in May 2023, and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole in Folleli in December 2021. \n\nThe FLNC refers to the island's political status as \"a disproportionate colonisation of the

\"acts of resistance\". \n\nThe group threatens artisans, construction and public works companies, \"speculators and all those who enrich themselves on the back of our extinction\", addressing in particular the \"complicit Corsicans\" who \"will have to give an account\" for \"having sold their land, and therefore their soul, to the highest bidders\". \n\nThe FLNC also denigrates the negotiations currently underway between Paris and Corsican elected representatives, arguing that they will only lead, \"at best\", to \"further decentralisation\". \n\nThe FLNC's last communiqu\u00e9 claiming responsibility for the attacks was issued on 21 March, the anniversary of the death of pro-independence militant Yvan Colonna, who died following an attack in prison. A total of 17 attacks had been claimed. \n\nFire island \n\nCorsica is currently experiencing an upsurge in arson attacks, mainly on second homes, with nationalists often thought to be behind them. \n\nAccording to the judicial source, 50 investigations \"linked to arson or acts of destruction of various kinds\" in Corsica have been opened by the national authorities since the beginning of the year. \n\nThere were 22 in 2022, three in 2021 and four in 2020. \n\n\"Fourteen judicial inquiries are currently underway in Corsican terrorist cases\" by the anti-terrorist unit of the Paris judicial court, the same source said. \n\nOne of these investigations concerns the Ghjuventu Clandestina Corsa, or Corsican underground youth movement, with at least five people under investigation. \n\nThe radical group announced its creation at the beginning of February, and has claimed responsibility for destroying houses. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>France&#039;s national anti-terrorist prosecutor has opened a preliminary investigation following the publication on Tuesday of a communiqu\u00e9 from the Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC) which claimed responsibility for 16 attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation was opened for \"criminal conspiracy to prepare acts of terrorism\", according to a judicial source.<\/p>\n<p>In a four-page press release <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.corsematin.com//article//faits-diversjustice//110211908015514//info-corse-matin-le-flnc-appelle-le-peuple-corse-a-la-mobilisation-et-a-laction-et-revendique-16-attentats/">sent to Coriscan daily newspaper Corse-Matin<\/a> and consulted by AFP, the clandestine group claims to have carried out 13 attacks against residences, one against a vehicle belonging to a \"CRS officer\", and two against bank branches: Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale in Corte in May 2023, and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole in Folleli in December 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The FLNC refers to the island&#039;s political status as \"a disproportionate colonisation of the population\" and a \"process of destruction of the Corsican people\" that is \"not yet irreversible\" \u2013 and calls \"as quickly as possible\" on Corsicans to \"help in the struggle\" through \"acts of resistance\".<\/p>\n<p>The group threatens artisans, construction and public works companies, \"speculators and all those who enrich themselves on the back of our extinction\", addressing in particular the \"complicit Corsicans\" who \"will have to give an account\" for \"having sold their land, and therefore their soul, to the highest bidders\".<\/p>\n<p>The FLNC also denigrates the negotiations currently underway between Paris and Corsican elected representatives, arguing that they will only lead, \"at best\", to \"further decentralisation\".<\/p>\n<p>The FLNC&#039;s last communiqu\u00e9 claiming responsibility for the attacks was issued on 21 March, the anniversary of the death of pro-independence militant Yvan Colonna, who died following an attack in prison.
