A fire near Glasgow Central Station has disrupted rail services across Scotland. Rail operators say the disruption is expected for trains to, from, and through Scotland's busiest rail station. The station remains closed Monday and officials gave no estimate for its reopening. The fire, which started Sunday in a vape shop next to the station, burned overnight. It damaged a four-story building, part of which collapsed. Officials say the building dates back to 1851. Scottish Fire and Rescue says no one was hurt.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the trial of five men charged in the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, Christian Sanon and James Solages are charged with conspiring in South Florida to kidnap or kill Haiti’s former leader, plus related charges. They face possible life sentences. They have all pleaded not guilty. The trial was previously set for last year, but U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra in Miami agreed to delay to Monday because of discovery challenges and the volume of evidence. Officials say Moïse was killed on July 7, 2021, when about two dozen foreign mercenaries, mostly from Colombia, attacked his home near Port-au-Prince.

Oil prices have jumped past $100 a barrel as the Iran war disrupts oil production and shipping in the Middle East. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the international standard, was at $101.19 shortly after trading resumed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, up 9.2% from its settlement price of $92.69 Friday. Crude prices haven’t been that high in more than three and a half years. The Middle East is home to the world’s largest concentration of proven oil reserves. Supply concerns have driven crude and gasoline higher as the war ensnares major oil-producing countries and hinders exports from the Persian Gulf.
