Is it underground, too? Underground. Sometimes, like 1 meter underground. Stop, Stop, Stop, stop, stop!

Fires 3 feet below us. They've all been here since last week, not giving up. When do you sleep? We took some shorter pose. Yeah, like three hours, four hours. You must be super tired. Yeah, but it's OK. It's for all the village, all the community. All those guys, I seen them growing up, and it's like a brotherhood, you know? It'd cool. Yes, and it is unity. It is fraternity and resilience. And there is some good news because weather conditions are getting better. It's already a little bit cooler today, and we even got rained on a bit earlier this morning. But there are still about 80,000 people displaced across all of southern France. And we've just learned something new, that George and Amal Clooney are on that list. They announced that this morning, that they have fled their home, too. Back to you.
