France 24 [en]
Tens of millions of people suffered and thousands died during a historic heatwave in France.

In this edition of FRANCE 24's media show "Scoop", we look at media coverage of the brutal heat and the outrageous rhetoric that sometimes ensued. Guests include FRANCE 24'S Environment Editor Valerie Dekimpe and Tech Editor Peter O'Brien.
