An official in Turkey says the country faces a “very risky week” for wildfires as blazes across parts of southeast Europe and the Balkans damaged homes and led to a huge firefighting operation that included evacuations. Nearly 100 people face prosecution over the fires in Turkey. Blazes erupted near Turkey’s fourth-largest city Bursa over the weekend. A wildfire also erupted Monday in forests outside the western port city of Izmir where 11 aircraft were helping ground-based fire units and residents battle the blaze. Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli told reporters in Ankara on Monday that “we are in a very risky week." Blazes were also affecting Greece, Bulgaria and Albania.

Crew chief Bill Miller said the umpires didn't see lightning close enough to stop play. Fans were moved around the sixth inning but could return by the end of the seventh. Baltimore's interim manager praised the decision to prioritize fan safety. The game was never delayed despite the weather concerns.

The evacuation zone includes areas where aid organizations operate, though they have not commented. Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 58,000 Palestinians killed since the conflict began. Protests in Israel demand an end to the war and the return of hostages.
