Footage uploaded to social media network Snapchat on Wednesday showed onlookers screaming as rappers Booba, Kaaris, and their minders crashed into cosmetic stands while swinging punches and kicking each other.

2. WHO sends staff to tackle fresh ebola outbreak in the DRC

Temperatures of up to 32 degrees Celsius have been recorded in the Arctic Circle.
The stunning figure was recorded in Banak, Norway, on July 30. The peninsula usually only averages about 16 degrees in the summer.
“It is the first time in August we’ve had a temperature over 30 degrees ... so of course we are concerned,” journalist Knut Satre told Good Morning Europe’s Tesa Arcilla.
