Missing French toddler – latest: Police comb final area before halting search for Emile
Police are currently searching a final area in a hamlet in the French Alps, before calling off the massive operation to locate missing two-year-old Emile. Local prosecutor Remy Avon said the previous searches did not yield any clues to solving the mystery of the boy’s disappearance and instead, investigators will be shifting their focus to evaluating evidence already gathered. He added: “The investigation into the causes of his disappearance will continue, notably through analysis of the considerable amount of information and elements gathered over four days.” Police are today combing a 1.8km-long road, that has previously been searched before, in the hope of finding new evidence in Emile’s disappearance. But police say they will be searching the stretch of road more “meticulously” this time. The search is expected to go on till 4pm local time, before it is halted on the sixth day since Emile vanished. Emile was last seen playing in the garden of a property in Le Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, with his grandparents notifying the police of his disappearance at around 5.15pm local time on Saturday. Police added on Wednesday that at least 10 people were present at the property where Emile was last seen amidst a family reunion, with “several uncles and aunts of the child, of all ages, including some minors”, a police source said.

Europe heatwave – live: Deadly ‘Cerberus’ heat grips Spain, Italy and Greece as cities placed on red alert
A deadly heatwave is sweeping Europe with ground temperatures in Spain hitting more than 60C while thunderstorms have been forecast for France. The heatwave - named Cerberus by Italian forecasters - has the potential to see record-breaking temperatures in the coming days, with 48.8C possible in Italy. A heat map for Europe has turned to dark red and even black in areas because of the severity of the extreme weather. Forecasters have said the heatwave could last for up to two weeks and already one person has died as a result. The 44-year-old worker was reportedly painting a zebra crossing in 40C heat in the town of Lodi outside Milan, Italy, at midday on Tuesday when he collapsed. He was said to have lost consciousness due to the intense heat. "We are facing an unbearable heatwave," Italian MP Nicola Fratoianni tweeted. "Maybe it's the case that in the hottest hours all the useful precautions are taken to avoid tragedies like the one that happened today in Lodi."

Ukraine news – live: Senior Russian general killed in airstrike with British Storm Shadow missile
A high-ranking Russian general has been killed in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia in an airstrike carried out using British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles, according to multiple reports from both sides. Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov was among the Russian military commanders present in the Dune hotel when a barrage of cruise missiles struck the southern region. Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately confirm the death but it has been reported by the country’s tightly-controlled state media. An aid to the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, wrote on his Telegram channel: “It is reported that today in the Berdiansk area, the Russian Lieutenant General Oleg Yuriyovych Tsokov was liquidated.” In September last year the same general was gravely wounded on the battlefield but survived, the mayor said. A member of Ukraine’s parliament, Yurii Mysyagin, said that the “the British ‘Storm Shadow’ came to visit accurately”. This comes as a senior Russian general who was leading Moscow’s forces in Zaporizhzhia said he was suddenly dismissed from his position after he accused the military leadership of betraying his troops with a lack of support.
