Asian stocks slide ... Survey: Most economists expect interest rates to soon rise ... Doctors say 2nd cancers on the rise

TOKYO (AP) — Stocks are tumbling across Asia with China's main index losing 8.8 percent. Investors have been shaken by the sell-off last week on Wall Street that unloaded shares in practically every sector. By early afternoon Monday, the Shanghai composite index slid enough that analysts and investors watched for signs that Chinese regulators or the central bank might intervene. Stocks in Hong Kong, Japan and Australia also are down.

MARION, Ohio (AP) — Federal prosecutors say some immigrant teens coming into the U.S. alone have been forced to work long hours on egg farms. U.S. immigration policy dictates that unaccompanied minors coming into the U.S. can't be turned away if they're escaping dangerous situations. But prosecutors say once released from U.S. custody, some of those teens were met by people posing as friends or family, and were taken to farms to work. On Monday in a federal court in Cleveland, a man accused of orchestrating the operation is expected to change his non-guilty plea.

NEW YORK (AP) — A survey suggests that the vast majority of economists expect the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before the end of the year. Seventy-seven percent of economists surveyed by the National Association of Business Economics believe the Fed will raise rates from their near-zero levels, but only 37 percent believe it will happen as soon as September. Economists believe that if the U.S. economy continues to improve, the Fed's interest rate will eventually top out at 3 percent.

TOKYO (AP) — U.S. military officials say several explosions went off early Monday at a U.S. Army depot in Japan. The blasts happened at the Sagami General Depot, about 25 miles southwest of Tokyo. The facility was storing compressed nitrogen, oxygen, Freon and air. Officials say no injuries have been reported.

UNDATED (AP) — Second cancers are on the rise. Doctors say nearly 1 in 5 new cancer cases in the U.S. now involve someone who has had the disease before. A recent study found that about 19 percent of cancers in the U.S. are second-or-more cases. In the 1970s, it was only 9 percent. That's partly because more people are surviving cancer and living long enough to get it again. And many of the very treatments that help people survive their first cancer, such as radiation, can raise the risk of a new cancer forming later in life.
