Out-of-control wildfires raging in France and Spain have forced the evacuation of more than 200,000 people in total, authorities in both countries said on Saturday.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said that 167,000 people had been evacuated in his country because of blazes near Bordeaux in the southwest, while the Spanish interior ministry put its total at 45,000.
