Firefighters are struggling to hold forest fires through Greece

Greece fights five major fires across the country, and officials evacuate residents in a tough region north of Athens.

The constant emergency is against the background of a strong heat wave with a temperature forecast to reach up to 44C (111.2F) on Sunday.
