     WASHINGTON (AP) – The disarray among House Republicans hasn’t changed as they return to work on Capitol Hill this week. In addition to a nearly unprecedented leadership crisis, they face looming budget deadlines. Attention is focused on Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who doesn’t want the speaker’s job he’s under pressure to seek. And House conservatives who forced out John Boehner could put up roadblocks to Ryan if he doesn’t meet with their approval.
 
     MADRID (AP) – Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S., Israel and Jordan are all opposed to a French proposal for an international presence at the Jerusalem holy site at the center of escalating Israeli-Palestinian tension.

     KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Despite denials by the Doctors Without Borders organization, an Afghan official insists a hospital bombed by U.S. forces was being used by Taliban insurgents.

Afghanistan’s acting defense minister says a Taliban flag had been hoisted on the walls around the hospital compound.
 
     VIENNA (AP) – Iran and six world powers are meeting in Vienna to sort out who does what now that their milestone nuclear deal is in effect. The agreement was officially adopted Sunday.
