Greece battles wildfire in Evia, reports progress on Crete
ATHENS (Reuters) -Firefighters were battling a wildfire on the Greek island of Evia on Saturday which was burning forests and forced the evacuation of two villages, the fire brigade and authorities said. More than 160 firefighters along with 46 trucks and five aircraft were deployed in southern Evia, east of Athens, to put out the blaze, which broke out late on Friday, a fire brigade official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Evia was on a list of several Greek regions that were on high alert for wildfires due to gale force winds due on Saturday. The authorities ordered the evacuation of the villages of Tsakeoi and the seaside seasonal settlement of Limnionas in the early hours. Southern Evia is a sparsely populated area of rugged mountains, agricultural land and popular seaside spots. The fire there is the latest in a series of bushfires stoked by strong winds and dry conditions this week as much of Europe sweltered in an early summer heatwave, which officials have linked to at least eight deaths on the continent. Another wildfire on the southern island of Crete, which has razed forest and olive groves since Wednesday and forced thousands of residents and tourists to temporarily evacuate, was largely contained, the fire brigade official said. Tourism is a key earner in Greece and the fires have hit at the start of the peak summer holiday season. Temperatures in Greece were forecast to reach up to 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday, the Greek weather service said. Greece and other Mediterranean countries are in an area dubbed"a wildfire hotspot"by scientists - with blazes common during hot and dry summers. These have become more destructive in recent years due to a fast-changing climate, prompting calls for a new approach. (Reporting by Angeliki Koutantou; Editing by Alison Williams)

Moroccan central bank keeps benchmark interest rate steady at 2.25%
The Moroccan central bank held its benchmark interest rate steady at 2.25%, saying current borrowing costs were consistent with the inflation outlook. Inflation would average 1% in 2025, following a drop in food prices, before ticking up to 1.8% next year, the bank said in a statement following its quarterly board meeting. The forecast remains shrouded in "uncertainty", the bank said citing trade policies, repercussions of geopolitical conflicts and the performance of the domestic farming sector.

Fire disrupts Dutch train traffic as NATO summit begins
THE HAGUE (Reuters) -Dutch police said on Tuesday they suspected a criminal act was the cause of a fire that disrupted train traffic in the Netherlands, where a NATO summit began in The Hague. A fire broke out early on Tuesday close to railway tracks in Amsterdam, damaging electricity cables, railway operator Prorail said. Services between Amsterdam and nearby Schiphol Airport and between the airport and the central city of Utrecht were cancelled until further notice. "The police are expressly considering a crime may have been committed and are further investigating the incident. We are looking for possible witnesses," a police spokesperson told Reuters.
