Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have lifted economic and financial sanctions imposed on Mali, after its military rulers proposed a 24-month transition to democracy and published a new electoral law. The bloc imposed stiff sanctions on Mali in January after the military government said it would not organise democratic elections the following month as initially planned. ECOWAS Commission President Jean Claude Kassi Brou told a news conference on Sunday that the sanctions will be lifted immediately. Borders with Mali will reopen and regional diplomats will return to Bamako.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has acknowledged that his forces have withdrawn from the bombed-out city of Lysychansk, the last Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Luhansk province. But he pledged late on Sunday to regain control of the lost territory with the help of long-range Western weapons. Russia said its capture of Lysychansk less than a week after taking neighbouring Severdonetsk gave it full control of Luhansk – a political win that meets a key Kremlin war goal. The battlefield focus now shifts to the neighbouring Donetsk province which, together with Luhansk, makes up what is known as the Donbas region.

Police released videos on Sunday showing eight officers involved in a shooting that killed an unarmed Black man who fled a traffic stop on June 27 in the city of Akron in the US state of Ohio. At a news conference, police played multiple videos, one of which they said shows a gunshot being fired from the car driven by Jayland Walker, 25, who was being pursued by officers. Walker jumped out of the car and ran away from police, the video showed. Police say it appears he was turning towards officers, who at the time believed he was armed. A gun was later recovered from his car. Walker was shot approximately 90 times, according to the attorney for the Walker family, Bobby DiCello. An initial autopsy showed that he had 60 gunshot wounds on his body after he was pronounced dead in the parking lot where he fell.

At least three people have been killed and several more wounded in a shooting at a shopping mall in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, police said. Copenhagen Police Inspector Soren Thomassen told reporters that a 22-year-old Danish man was arrested over Sunday’s shooting and charged with manslaughter. He said there was no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack, and that it was too early to speculate on a motive for the shooting. The attack rocked Denmark at the end of an otherwise joyful week, just after it hosted the first three stages of the Tour de France cycle race.

The Omicron variant dominates the infections. Its two main mutations, known as B-point-four and B-point-five, are harder to track and resistant to vaccines.

Those in the pandemic-hit tourism industry were hoping to recover this season, as restrictions began to ease in many places. But that could change. The head of the World Health Organization says the pandemic is not over. What should we expect?
