Here’s what you want to know at the end of the day.

Good night. Here’s the one.
1. The summer coronavirus outbreak has reached its deadliest day this month.
U.S. officials reported at least 1,470 virus deaths Wednesday, the total on a day unmarried in August, according to a Times database. Over more than two weeks, the country recorded an average of more than 1,000 deaths consistent with the day. Houston doctors responded to a nursing home on Wednesday, upstairs.
But even this austere statistic doesn’t tell the whole story. An investigation through The Times found that at least 200,000 more people have died than the same people since March. This is approximately 60,000 more than the number of deaths that have been attributed to the coronavirus. And through any account, America. suffered many more deaths than any other country.
And a new study found that mortality rates in New York this spring contrasted with those seen in the deadliest pandemic in fashion history. As one doctor said: “What looked like 1918 is this.”
2. New weekly unemployed registrations fell below one million for the first time since March.
The Ministry of Labour reported that last week another 963,000 people applied for benefits as a component of the state’s normal unemployment programs. But layoffs remain exceptionally higher by old standards, and the speed of new hires has slowed down.
Economic suffering is especially severe for families with young people. Federal Reserve investigators have found that heads of households have lost their jobs in 12.9% of families with young children since they seized the pandemic, up to 9.2% in families without young children. In single-parent families, the percentage is 23.2%.
3. Israel shall suspend plans to annex the disputed territory of the West Bank as part of an agreement to normalize with the United Arab Emirates.
In a marvel spread across the White House, President Trump said he had negotiated an agreement for Israel and the United Arab Emirates. they point to a series of bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, security and other spaces while allowing direct flights between their countries and creating reciprocal embassies.
That would make the U.A.E. the third Arab country to identify general diplomatic relations with Israel, after Jordan and Egypt. Upstairs, Tel Aviv City Hall luminaires with the colors of the United Arab Emirates. Flag.
For his main players, the agreement came at an opportune time: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to remind the Israelis why they had elected him; Trump needed a diplomatic victory; and the United Arab Emirates, criticized for alleged human rights violations in Yemen and Libya, needed its symbol in Washington and beyond.
4. President Trump has explicitly linked his objections to increased investment for the U.S. Postal Service to his aversion to mail voting.
In an interview on Fox Business Network, Trump cited proposals through House Democrats to allocate $25 billion to the service and another $3 billion, in particular, to administer the vote by mail. Postal investment has been a key stumbling point in negotiations for a new coronavirus relief agreement.
“If we don’t agree, it means they probably don’t have the money,” he said. “This means they can’t have a universal postal vote, they just can’t have it.”
In addition, the Supreme Court complied with a Rhode Island judge’s order making it less difficult for the electorate in the state to vote the pandemic by mail.
5. The Dement of Justice has accused Yale University of discriminating against Asian and white applicants in its undergraduate admission process.
The conclusion came here after a two-year investigation, the department’s civil rights department said. He ordered Yale to suspend the use of the race or national origin in its one-year admission procedure, after which he must apply for permission to use it. A federal appeals court is preparing to hear a challenge that opposes the use of race in Admissions to Harvard University.
We also took a look at the push for remote learning this fall. Rising infection rates were clearly the major driver. But President Trump’s demands that schools reopen helped harden opposition to in-person instruction — and gave powerful teachers’ unions fodder to demand stronger safety measures or resist physically reopening.
6. After celebrating a hundred days without spreading the community, the population of New Zealand’s largest city is again under lock and key.
Four new cases reported in Auckland on Wednesday rose to 17 on Thursday. Epidemiologists rush to the source, in all likelihood through a shipment or quarantine services for returning travelers, and the country is implementing a massive test, tactile search, and quarantine to eliminate Covid-19 for the time being.
And in China, two other people tested positive for the time being after recovering this year. Both cases have revived considerations of momentary infections that have baffled experts.
7. The Trump administration has formalized the lifting of controls on Obama-era methane, just as new studies show that much more potent greenhouse gases are leaking into the environment than was known in the past.
This reversal well frees oil and fuel corporations from the need to trip and repair methane leaks. The Environmental Protection Agency justified the resolution by showing a firm understanding that domestic oil and fuel well leaks appear to have remained solid over the past decade.

However, many recent studies show the opposite: methane emissions from drilling sites in the United States are much higher than E.P.A. officials. Figures.
8. How can a blockbuster get a pandemic hit? To get started: hire a complete hotel for the actors and the team, and get 18,000 Covid-19 tests and 150 hand-disinfection stations.
It’s a possibility for the film industry to see if it can succeed over the monetary difficulties caused by the pandemic, adding closed cinemas and comfortable audiences watching videos from the couch, and protecting everyone.
9. The tears of animals are beginning to draw more attention.
By reading the many tactics in which animals keep their eyes moist and healthy, scientists hope to help solve human vision problems. Dr. Arianne Pontes Ori and her colleagues reported this week that tears can be wonderful equalizers: the vertebrates of the animal kingdom seem to wrap their eyes with liquid in the same way.
His paintings demand to collect tears from the animals, as the owl frightens above. Don’t worry, the total procedure comes down to what it is for patients. Regardless of the tears they are willing to offer, Dr. Ori said, “We respect that, even if it’s only a small amount.”
10. And finally, Special Agent Mulder to the rescue.
Rudy Garcia-Tolson’s attempt to make a fifth Paralympic swim team after three years of retirement was missing a crucial element — a pool where he could train. With all of the public pools near his home in Southern California closed, swimming in the ocean was hardly the best way to prepare to face elite competition.
Then David Duchovny, the most productive known for his television role “X-Files”, presented his swimming pool in Malibu. The actor, another swimmer and triathlete, had read an article in the Times about Garcia-Tolson’s struggle.
“The first few days, I was surprised to be in Malibu, in a personal outdoor pool,” Garcia-Tolson said. “After I get through this, I can enter my zone.”
Have a night.
