If rainy days and Mondays get you down, today will get you down twice over, since it's still raining where I live. Besides that, here are some things going on:

From ANSA, according to Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, Italy will not take lessons on racism. (via Voice Of Europe)
From Russia Today, in Paris, a postman is stabbed by a man wielding scissors. (The story comes via Voice Of Europe, which also report another stabbing, but may also be read in French at BMF TV.)
From Radio Poland, Warsaw's Praga district has been named one of Europe's "coolest neighborhoods". (The story comes via Voice Of Europe. The name "Praga" is very similar to, and may be the cognate of, the Czech name "Praha", for which English uses "Prague".)
From Radio Praha (and speaking of Praha), sensors tested by the Czech Technical University could be used to prevent bridge collapse.

From The Guardian, the "far right" makes gains in the Swedish elections, but the main blocs are deadlocked.

From the Independent, National Security Advisor John Bolton calls the ICC "dead to us".
From the Metro, a dozen Conservative MPs "vow to quit" to prevent Boris Johnson from become the party's leader. (The Conservatives are commonly known as the Tories.)
