Two teenagers accused of arson after thousands flee French wildfires

Two teenage boys have appeared before a judge on suspicion of deliberately starting one of the wildfires that devastated parts of south-eastern France and Corsica this week.

Authorities warned that the danger is far from over even though they have tamed most of the blazes that scorched over 7,000 hectares (17,300 acres) of land, destroyed homes and forced the evacuation of thousands in the worst fires France has seen in more than a decade.
