A heatwave has returned to southern France, with five departments placed under an orange-level heat alert starting Friday at noon. The affected areas include Ardèche, Aude, Drôme, Gard, and Hérault, where temperatures could reach as high as 40 °C in some locations. Elsewhere in the south, maximum temperatures are expected to range between 30 and 33 °C, according to Météo France, the national weather service. Orange alerts indicate a high risk of health issues due to extreme heat, prompting local authorities to urge residents to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged sun exposure. In Nepal, two workers who had been trapped inside the Trishuli-3 tunnel since August 26 were successfully rescued after being buried by floods. The rescue operation has brought hope to Nepalese emergency teams searching for survivors in regions affected by recent mudflows and landslides. These disasters have impacted areas with hydroelectric power plants and under-construction dams, complicating recovery efforts and highlighting the risks of heavy monsoon rains in the region. Tennis player Gaël Monfils, who recently turned 40, ended his participation in the US Open with a second-round defeat to American Learner Tien, the world's 15th-ranked player. The match concluded with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in favor of Tien. Despite the loss, Monfils demonstrated strong performance by creating eight break points and saving four match points during the match. This defeat marked the end of Monfils' Grand Slam career, with the French player planning to retire by the end of the year.
