Mango boosts UK expansion with Chester debut
As it accelerates its global retail strategy, Mango has launched a new womenswear store in Chester, marking its debut in the historic English city and reinforcing its long-term focus on the UK market. Located at the Broughton shopping centre in north-western England, the new store marks Mango's entry into Chester with a space dedicated entirely to womenswear. The boutique adopts the brand's signature New Med design concept, blending Mediterranean warmth with sustainable materials and a fluid architectural layout. Shoppers will find a curated mix of new arrivals and enduring wardrobe staples from Mango's women's collections. Mango has maintained a steady presence in the UK since 1999, steadily expanding its retail footprint. By the close of 2024, the brand expects to operate over 80 bricks-and-mortar locations nationwide, complementing its online channels and third-party partnerships. The Chester opening forms part of Mango's 4E Strategic Plan (2024–2026), which targets surpassing 100 UK stores by the end of the year. The brand's expansion ambitions reach far beyond the UK. In recent weeks, Mango has launched five new stores across Italy—in Teramo, Naples, Sicily, and Chieti —further strengthening its presence in key southern European cities. Simultaneously, it continues to grow in the United States, marking a milestone last June with the opening of its 50th location in the country. Founded in 1984 by Isak Andic, Mango now has a footprint in over 120 markets worldwide, supported by a global network of more than 2,800 stores. In fiscal year 2024, the company reported revenue of €3.339 billion, reflecting a 7.6% year-on-year increase. As part of its current strategic roadmap, Mango aims to achieve €4 billion in annual sales and open 500 new stores globally by the end of 2026. This article is an automatic translation.

Firefighters battle wildfire threatening French city of Marseille
By Tassilo Hummel MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) -Hundreds of firefighters battled a fast-moving wildfire that reached the outskirts of the southern French city of Marseille on Tuesday, forcing people to stay indoors and the nearby airport to close. Aided by firefighting helicopters and aircraft, the firefighters had the blaze under control by evening, officials said, but a forecast of more strong winds meant it might yet advance further towards France's second most populous city. The fire, fanned by winds of up to 70 kph (43 mph), could be smelt in the centre of Marseille as thick clouds of smoke hovered over the city on the Mediterranean coast. "It's very striking - apocalyptic even," said Monique Baillard, a resident of Les Pennes-Mirabeau, the town north of Marseille where officials said the fire started on a highway. The fire has burnt through 700 hectares (1,730 acres) and was considered to be under control even though it is still burning, regional prefect Georges-Francois Leclerc said. About 20 buildings have been at least partly hit by the fire but no fatalities have been reported and hundreds of homes have been saved by firefighters, he said. Over 700 firefighters were battling the blaze, aided by firefighting helicopters and aircraft. Wildfires, which have become more destructive in Mediterranean countries in recent years and attributed to climate change, were also raging in northeastern Spain, where large parts of the country were on high alert for fires. There were also fires last week on the Greek island of Crete and in Athens, as much of Europe sweltered in an early summer heatwave. As the fire was spreading, residents of Marseille received official alerts on their phones telling them to stay at home and put damp cloths on any openings. "As we speak, it's a battle," Payan said, likening tackling the wildfire to "guerrilla warfare". "We're waiting to see what happens overnight, because that's critical too. Everything is strategic: wind speed, humidity, nightfall — every factor matters. Once again, it's extremely complex, and the work is incredibly difficult." RESIDENTS CONFINED Two residents of the 16th borough, in the north of Marseille, near where the fire started, described how scared they had been. "It was dangerous, a lot of very dark smoke, we were really afraid. Police and firefighters did a great job," said one resident, who did not give his name and said things now looked under control in his neighbourhood. Residents were told not to evacuate unless ordered so that roads could be left clear for rescue services. "At this stage, populations must remain confined," the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur prefecture posted on X. "Close shutters, doors, keep your property clear for emergency services, and do not travel on the roads." Anne, a 51-year-old woman who works in Marseille and lives on the outskirts, said by phone: "The sky is grey with ash, and the smell of fire is very strong in the centre of Marseille." In the coastal neighbourhood of l'Estaque, restaurant owner Simon Epenmbia said he was huddling in the restaurant with his family and neighbours. "We are relatively close to the sea, where we feel safer for now and there is less smoke," he said. "I also saw other people who came here towards the beach and are sheltering in their cars." A spokesperson for Marseille airport, France's fourth-busiest, said planes had not been taking off or landing since around midday and some flights had been diverted to Nice, Nimes and other regional airports. It was unclear when it would reopen. Many train lines heading to and from Marseille were suspended. Some roads and highways were also shut. A wildfire that started near Narbonne, in southwestern France, was also still active on Monday. Some 2,000 hectares have burnt there, the local prefecture said.

As temperatures soar - think of your furry friends and how best to keep them safe in the sun
With temperatures set to soar this week finding creative ways to keep cool, in a heatwave can often be an impossible task, especially for our four legged family members. Dogs especially can find themselves in danger from the heat as canine temperatures are much higher than humans so they can find themselves at risk of heatstroke during very hot periods and cats are also in peril. So as the heat is poised to rise close to Mediterranean temperatures over the coming week it's important to keep our pets cool and safe. Stock image – Domestic cat.
