Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said the Western Balkans are an integral part of the European Union, repeating his country's full support of the region's integration into the 27-member bloc. Sanchez was in Tirana on Monday on his last leg of the Western Balkan trip that earlier took him to Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia. EU officials have recently sought to encourage governments in the region to move on with reforms amid concerns over Russia’s efforts to boost its influence in the Balkans. Western Balkan countries are at different stages of EU integration. Sanchez said that the reforms in these countries will “improve the life of the citizens.” Sanchez also said the war in Ukraine showed the EU’s strength.

The U.S. government and publishing titan Penguin Random House are set to exchange opening salvos in a federal antitrust trial. The U.S. wants to block the biggest U.S. book publisher from absorbing rival Simon & Schuster. The trial beginning Monday in Washington is a key test of the Biden administration’s antitrust policy. The Justice Department has sued to block the $2.2 billion merger, which would reduce the Big Five U.S. publishers to four. The government’s star witness will be author Stephen King, whose works are published by Simon & Schuster. The two New York-based publishers boast blockbuster authors including Barack and Michelle Obama at Penguin Random House and Hillary Clinton at Simon & Schuster.
A British court is holding an emergency hearing to determine whether a hospital can end life-support treatment for a 12-year-old boy who has suffered catastrophic brain damage. The parents of Archie Battersbee are fighting the decision but have lost a series of court challenges. After the family appealed to the United Nations, the British government asked the Court of Appeal to take another look at the case. The court is holding a hearing on Monday, hours before the Royal London Hospital says it will end Archie’s treatment. Archie was found unconscious with a ligature over his head on April 7. Doctors believe Archie is brain-stem dead and say continued life-support treatment is not in his best interests.
Team Astana has reinstated Colombian rider Miguel Ángel López following an investigation into drug trafficking in Spain. López had been temporarily suspended by the Kazakhstani team after news he was being questioned in an investigation into the alleged activities of a Spanish doctor suspected of drug trafficking. The team said that “it was not in a position to continue the suspension or further deprive the rider of his contractual rights.” It said “the team will monitor the situation closely and will not hesitate to take resolute measures depending on the development of the situation.” The 28-year-old López is set to race in the Burgos Vuelta and Spanish Vuelta.

The political rivals of an influential Iraqi cleric whose followers stormed the parliament have declared their own counter-protest. The announcement on Monday stirred fear among Iraqis and caused security forces to erect concrete barriers leading to the heavily fortified Green Zone, home of the parliament building. The counter-protest was called by the Coordination Framework, an alliance lead by Shiite parties close to Iran, and is slated to take place Monday afternoon. The announcement came after Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr issued a statement late Sunday to radically change the political system and abolish his rivals. His opponents perceived the call as a coup.
Serbia’s new parliament has convened for its first session, some four months after an election that reaffirmed the domination of autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic and his right-wing populists. Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party holds the majority in the 250-member assembly and is expected to run the next government. Several opposition groups also made it into the parliament in the April 3 vote after they boycotted the previous election. Beleaguered opposition parties have complained that Vucic’s tight grip over mainstream media and the state institutions have made any election in the country far from free and fair. Vucic has denied the claims.

Sudan says it has detected the country’s first case of the monkeypox virus in the conflict-wrecked Darfur region. The Health Ministry said Sunday that the 16-year-old student's case was discovered last week in West Darfur province. It did not give further details about the patient. The ministry said there were at least 38 suspected cases of monkeypox; all tested negative to the virus but one in West Darfur. An outbreak of monkeypox could be devastating for Sudan which suffered from decades of conflict in Darfur and other parts of the country, and international isolation. The U.N. health agency last month declared the monkeypox a global emergency.
The White House is making more than $1 billion available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to announce the grant programs Monday at an event in Miami with the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other officials. The competitive grants will help communities across the nation prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters. The announcement comes as the death toll rises from massive flooding in Kentucky and as wildfires in California and Montana explode in size amid windy, hot conditions and force evacuations. The White House says “the impacts of the climate crisis are here.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing new regulations that would force food processors to reduce the amount of salmonella bacteria found in some raw chicken products or risk shutdowns. The proposed USDA rules announced Monday would declare salmonella an adulterant — a contaminant that can cause food-borne illness — in breaded and stuffed raw chicken products. That includes many frozen foods found in grocery stores that appear to be cooked through but are only heat-treated to set the batter or breading. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the salmonella bacteria sickens 1.3 million Americans each year, puts 26,000 in hospitals and causes 420 deaths.
On July 23, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern. It was a contentious decision, with the WHO’s director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, making the final call and overruling the WHO’s emergency committee. The advisory co…

Manchester City is the team to beat once again when the Premier League starts on Friday. The champions have even strengthened their squad in the position they were weakest last season by signing Erling Haaland as their belated replacement for Sergio Aguero up front. Haaland is regarded as one of the best young players in the world. City is looking to win a seventh league title in 12 years in what could be Pep Guardiola’s last season in charge. Liverpool looks to be the team best placed to challenge City despite losing Sadio Mane. Chelsea and Manchester United are in a state of flux so Tottenham and Arsenal will look to take advantage.
A Chinese state-owned company is negotiating to buy a forestry plantation with a deep-water port and World War II airstrip in Solomon Islands amid concerns that China wants to establish a naval foothold in the South Pacific country. Australian Broadcasting Corp. has reported a Chinese company delegation visited the plantation on Kolombangar Island in 2019, asking questions about the length of the wharf and depth of the water while showing little interest in the trees. The ABC says the board of Solomons company wrote to the newly elected Australian government in May warning of the “risks/strategic threats” posed by such a sale. Australia's foreign ministry says its continues to engage with the Solomons company.
Officials say a weekend wildfire in France's southern French Gard region that injured four firefighters has now been contained. Firefighter spokesman Col. Eric Agrinier told French media that 370 hectares were burned and two homes affected by the flames. But he highlighted “dozens and dozens of houses preserved and a human toll of zero casualties among civilians.” The fire was contained in the night of Sunday with some 400 firefighters monitoring the blaze Monday morning, according to the civil protection agency.
The leader of Myanmar’s military-installed government has announced the extension of its mandate to rule for another six months in preparation for an election it has said will be held next year. The army seized power last year from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. The takeover was met with widespread non-violent protests around the country. Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, head of the ruling State Administration Council, said in a broadcast speech Monday that the state of emergency declared after last year’s takeover was extended because time was needed to prepare for new elections. There is doubt they will be free and fair because most of the leaders of Suu Kyi’s party have been locked up.
