The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has officially ended its COVID-19 program for cruise ships.
The program was voluntary — though cruise lines couldn’t exactly decline to opt-in. It had replaced the CDC’s previous Conditional Sailing Order back in February of this year.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VII 31, 2022--
Italians are debating whether a Nigerian street vendor could have been saved from a fatal attack by an enraged Italian man that played out in public as bystanders watched. Mourners on Sunday left flowers and placards denouncing the violence and the indifference of those nearby. The vendor was left for dead after being struck with his own crutch and then pummeled by an attacker. Some bystanders filmed the attack, which lasted about four minutes. The jailed suspect was to appear in court on Monday. An autopsy later in the week will help determine if the victim was fatally beaten or strangled. The attack comes as Italian politicians begin campaigning for an early parliamentary election on Sept. 25.
The summer box office showed signs of slowing down this weekend as the animated “DC League of Super-Pets” opened in theaters across North America. Studio estimates Sunday show the superhero spinoff about Superman’s dog earned $23 million from over 4,000 locations. That is slightly less than expected but enough to capture the first-place spot and knock Jordan Peele’s “Nope” into second place. “Nope” fell over 50% from its debut last weekend and earned an additional $18 million. Third place went to “Thor: Love and Thunder,” fourth to “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and fifth to “Top Gun: Maverick” in its 10th weekend.

American Sean Crocker has held off a spirited challenge from Eddie Pepperell to claim his first European tour title with a wire-to-wire victory in the Hero Open. Crocker carded a final-round 68 at Fairmont St Andrews to finish 22-under par and a shot ahead of Pepperell, who had piled on the pressure with a closing 65. Crocker, who was born in Zimbabwe and raised in California, lost his two-shot overnight lead early in the final round as Pepperell and Denmark’s Oliver Hundeboll both made flying starts, but a birdie on the sixth and three more in four holes from the 10th restored his advantage before Pepperell’s birdie on the 18th set up a nervous finish.

South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa says the fight against corruption and work to improve the country’s faltering economy have been endorsed by the ruling African National Congress party in order to improve its declining electoral support. Ramaphosa on Sunday addressed the close of the party’s national policy conference where it discussed the steps it must take to address the country’s challenges, including the high poverty levels, 35% unemployment rate and rising inflation. The policy meeting, seen as a preview to its conference in December where it will elect new leaders, was attended by more than 2,000 delegates.
No one studying polio knew more than Albert Sabin, the Polish-American scientist whose vaccine against the crippling disease has been used worldwide since 1959. Sabin’s oral vaccine provides lifelong immunity. It has one drawback, which Sabin, who died in 1993, fiercely disputed: In rare cas…
England manager Sarina Wiegman has named an unchanged starting lineup for the European Championship final against Germany. Wiegman has picked the same starting 11 for all of England’s games in Euro 2022. Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg sticks with the same lineup from the 2-1 win over France in the semifinals. Jule Brand keeps her place on Germany's left wing after replacing Klara Bühl for the France game when Bühl tested positive for the coronavirus.
Formula One champion Max Verstappen overcame a spin and his worst starting spot of the season to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and stretch his lead to to 80 points in the standings over Charles Leclerc. Mercedes placed both its cars on the podium for the second straight race. Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton finished second ahead of pole-sitter and teammate George Russell. Carlos Sainz Jr. was fourth for Ferrari ahead of Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez. It was another dismal day for Ferrari as Leclerc finished sixth. Verstappen’s eighth win of the season gives him 28 victories for his career.
Nottingham Forest signed Belgium midfielder Orel Mangala from Stuttgart on Sunday for an undisclosed fee as the English Premier League newcomer’s fourth signing from the German Bundesliga. Forest said the 24-year-old has signed a long-term contract. He is the 12th signing of the off-season in total for Forest. The club is back in the Premier League for the first time since 1998-99. Mangala played 29 times for Stuttgart last season as the team finished 15th in the Bundesliga.
Two bicyclists are dead in western Michigan after an SUV driven by a suspected drunken driver struck a group of riders. They were on an endurance ride Saturday for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The vehicle crossed a center line in Ionia County and hit the bicyclists on a rural road. The sheriff's office says three more bicyclists were severely injured. All five were men. The driver remains in the county jail awaiting a court hearing. No names were released.
A major U.N. meeting on the landmark Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty is about to begin after a long delay due to the coronavirus pandemic. There was already plenty of trouble to talk about when the conference was supposed to happen in 2020. Now it finally starts Monday as Russia’s war in Ukraine has reanimated fears of nuclear confrontation and cranked up the urgency of trying to reinforce the 50-year-old treaty. The nonproliferation pact has the widest adherence of any arms control agreement. Under the treaty, nations without nuclear weapons promised not to acquire them and nuclear-armed countries committed to negotiate toward eliminating their arsenals someday.
Leipzig has signed Germany left back David Raum from Hoffenheim on a five-year contract after a breakout season saw him become one of the Bundesliga’s top defenders. Hoffenheim only signed Raum from second-tier Greuther Fürth a year ago. He had 13 assists in his first season in the top division and made nine appearances for Germany as a key player in coach Hansi Flick’s shakeup of the team. Kicker magazine reported the transfer is worth 26 million euros ($26.6 million) with a possible further 2 million euros ($2.05 million) in bonuses.
A section of Beirut’s massive port grain silos, shredded in the 2020 explosion, has collapsed after a weekslong fire. The northern block of the silos toppled in a huge cloud of dust on Sunday after what sounded like an explosion. The recent fire was triggered by grains that had fermented and ignited in the summer heat. It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured. The 50 year-old, 48-meter tall giant silos withstood the force of the explosion, effectively shielding the western part of Beirut from the explosion that killed over 200 people, wounded more than 6,000 and badly damaged entire neighborhoods.
Part of Beirut's port silos, damaged in the 2020 explosion, collapses after a weekslong fire caused by leftover grains.
An Indiana police officer was fatally shot during a traffic stop early Sunday. A suspect was subsequently caught after a car chase. No other details about the shooting were immediately released. The officer worked for Elwood police, 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis. Madison County Sheriff Scott Mellinger says he's gone from “being prayerful to being angry.” The prosecutor's office says the suspect has a criminal record, which includes a conviction in 2006 for firing a gun at Indianapolis officers.
Some states have moved ahead with plans of their own to boost child care subsidies after a national effort by Democrats in Washington stalled. New York lawmakers passed a budget in the spring that calls for $7 billion to make child care more affordable over the next four years. New Mexico raised income eligibility for subsidies to the highest level of any state. Rhode Island lawmakers provided subsidies for child care workers and a tax credit to help pay for child care. Some New York lawmakers say they want to eventually make child care freely available as early as kindergarten.
Formula One’s former race director Michael Masi has described the abuse he received on social media following last season’s controversial call at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won his first world title after overtaking Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton on the last lap following a heavily disputed restart procedure. In an interview with Australia's NewsCorp, the 44-year-old Australian recalled feeling like “the most hated man in the world” as he revealed the level of hostility he endured online and the hundreds of toxic messages he received. The interview Masi gave to the Sunday Telegraph carried screenshots of some of the messages. Masi has since left governing body FIA and relocated back to Australia.
New Hampshire authorities say a rescue group had to carry a hiker's body nearly a mile in freezing temperatures and high winds after the man died on the Northeast’s highest mountain. State wildlife officials say a group of hikers found the man unconscious and not breathing Saturday afternoon on 6,300-foot Mount Washington. Resuscitation efforts failed. Rescue group members carried the body to the mountain's famous Cog Railway. A dog the man was hiking with was taken to an animal shelter until it can be reunited with the man's family.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who's one of the Democrats’ most conservative and contrarian members, is declining to say whether he wants Democrats to retain control of Congress after the November elections. The senator has used a series of Sunday news show interviews to say that question will be determined by the choice of voters in individual states, rather than his own preferences. He says people “are sick and tired of politics” and want their representatives in Washington to put country over party. Manchin faces reelection in 2024 in a state where Donald Trump won more than two-thirds of the voters. But in distancing himself from fellow Democrats, Manchin also is trying to decry the rise of partisanship.
Pro-democracy activists say Myanmar's military authorities have arrested a Japanese video journalist who was filming an anti-government protest in Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city. They identified the man arrested Saturday as documentary filmmaker Toru Kubota. A Japanese Embassy official confirmed its national has been detained. A leader of the group that organized the march said Kubota was arrested by plainclothes police after a one-minute flash protest that he had been filming. Myanmar’s army seized power in February last year by ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, and has since cracked down hard on dissent. The military government has arrested about 140 journalists, about 55 of whom remain detained awaiting charges or trial.
Dave and Erica Harrig stayed true to their values when they won a lottery jackpot of more than $61 million in 2013. It’s made all the difference. The couple from Gretna, Nebraska, on the outskirts of Omaha, allowed themselves a new home, some vintage automobiles and a few ocean cruises after they both quit their jobs. But nine years later they still live much as they always did. Many other winners haven't been as lucky, suffering personal setbacks and lawsuits or becoming the victims of scams. The latest winner of a big jackpot came Friday, when a single ticket sold in Illinois matched the numbers for a $1.337 billion Mega Millions prize.
Few Americans outside law enforcement ever see the most graphic videos or photos from the nation’s worst mass shootings. In most states, such evidence is only displayed at trial and most such killers die during their attacks. They never make it to court. That makes the penalty phase in the trial over the 2018 murders of 17 at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School unusual. Images of the horrific aftermath are being shown in court, but only to jurors, and to a small group of journalists. Some people believe the public should see such images also, so they can understand the carnage AR-15s and similar guns cause. Others say that would cause emotional harm to the victims’ families and perhaps stoke future mass shootings.
DETROIT — Brandi Donley believes a lifeguard would have made all the difference for her 20-year-old son, Brandon Schmidt.
Hundreds of followers of an influential Shiite cleric are camped out inside the Iraqi parliament, after toppling security walls around the building and storming in the previous day. The protesters pledged again to hold an open-ended sit-in to derail efforts by their rivals from Iran-backed political groups to form the government. The developments catapulted Iraq’s politics to center stage, plunging the country deeper into a political crisis as a power struggle unfolds between the the two major Shiite groups in Iraq. On Sunday the sit-in appeared more of a joyous celebration that a political protest — followers of Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr were dancing, praying and chanting slogans inside the parliament, in praise of their leader.
A deal on Medicaid expansion in North Carolina is within reach after both legislative chambers passed competing measures before ending their annual session. North Carolina is among a dozen states yet to accept the federal government’s offer to cover people who make too much to be insured by traditional Medicaid but too little to obtain private insurance. GOP leaders were adamantly opposed to expansion for years but have come around based on fiscal and health considerations. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has been pushing for expansion, which could cover 600,000 low-income adults. Right now negotiations are idling, as the Senate wants additional health care reforms.
Dan Goldman, who served as lead Democratic counsel in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, would be among the richest members of Congress if he’s successful in his bid to represent a newly redrawn district in New York City.
After 21 idle wells were found to be leaking methane — some of them explosive levels of it — in Bakersfield, California in May and June, the California Air Resources Board told the Associated Press that it’s not tallying leaks from idle wells. That means officials can’t include those leaks in their total emissions counts. That's significant because methane is a potent greenhouse gas and law requires the state to ramp down all of its carbon emissions to zero. The state plans to use new satellite sensors to get a count. And a new proposal in the US Senate would provide hundreds of millions of dollars to address this issue nationwide.

Country Music Hall of Famer Barbara Mandrell retired from music two decades ago, but the Grand Ole Opry still feels like home to her. The 73-year-old Grammy winner made a rare public appearance at the Opry's Saturday night show to celebrate her 50th anniversary of becoming an Opry member. The actor, multi-instrumentalist and singer turned millions of fans onto country music through her popular TV show with her sisters and her crossover hits like “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed,” and “If Loving You is Wrong (I Don’t Want to be Right).” An all-female lineup of performers, including Carrie Underwood, CeCe Winans and Linda Davis, performed her songs, while Mandrell enthusiastically applauded from the crowd.
The Supreme Court’s decision to repeal a woman’s federal constitutional right to abortion has scrambled the political dynamics heading into the November elections, when control of Congress is at stake. A half-dozen of the most vulnerable House members — all of them women and all representing swaths of suburban voters — see the issue as one that could help them win in an otherwise difficult political climate. But it's not clear whether the focus on abortion alone may be enough to save many of these Democrats, given that they're running for reelection at a time of high inflation and frustration with President Joe Biden’s performance.
