Good night. Here’s the one.
President Trump upheld his ordinary suggestion that he might not settle for the effects of the election if he lost.
“We need to make sure the election is fair and I’m not sure it’s possible,” he told reporters, calling mail ballots “a big scam. “His comments came a day after he refused to engage in a nonviolent force movement after the November 3 election.
Republican leaders insisted there would be a nonviolent transition, but they refrained from criticizing the president.
Democrats sounded the alarm. California rep Adam Schiff, who led Schiff’s political trial campaign. Trump in the House categorically, “That’s how democracy dies. “
Trump mocked the protesters while paying tribute to Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Washington.
New York will conduct its own review of coronavirus vaccines, fearing that the approval procedure has been over politicized.
A panel will advise the state on the protection and effectiveness of a vaccine, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, adding that “Frankly, I will not accept the federal government’s opinion as true, and would not propose to New Yorkers the opinion of the government.
New York officials may, in theory, delay distribution if they believe a vaccine is unsafe. Cuomo’s announcement has the potential to create additional confusion for Americans wondering who about the vaccine verification process.
Moreover, a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that inflamed youth cause waves of viruses that make the elderly sick.
3. In the face of the increase in coronavirus cases, Europeans fear that the heartbreaking scenes of last spring will be repeated, when the virus invaded extensive centres of attention in Italy and Spain.
But how imminent is the danger? European leaders face a situation of conversion, with conflicting evidence of how new cases of viruses temporarily become hospitalizations. Hospitals in Madrid are close to capacity, for example, however, hospitalizations and deaths in France are slowly increasing. their career situations in Barcelona.
And Israel is enduing its national blockade at the time after infection rates soared this week to about 5,000 new cases per day. The new measures, which will take effect on Friday, will remain in force until at least mid-October. An exception made for Yom Kippur, which begins at sunset on Sunday.
4. La absence of a formal charge of manslaughter or manslaughter in the Breonna Taylor case was a scandal for many, but not a surprise.
Few police officers are charged with manslaughter or manslaughter when they cause death in the line of duty, and only about a third of officers are convicted. Even as tens of thousands of Americans protest against police brutality and racial injustice, as many did last night, there is a transparent disconnect between the public belief in police violence and the way it is dealt with in court.
Louisville police accused a suspect of shooting two police officers at last night’s protests, shown above. Here are the latest photos and photos of protests across the country.
We also look at new federal data, which base officials in many police departments are much whiter than the communities they serve.
5. Are there classes to learn from the last recession?
After the 2009 recession, public spending ran out, which led to a recovery. Politicians have warned that this is again.
There are already signs that the economic recovery is slowing down. Applications for unemployment benefits increased last week, and about 825,000 Americans claimed state unemployment benefits. On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, above, said he and President Nancy Pelosi had agreed to resume negotiations on economic rescue plan.
6. Detention sites are emerging in Xinjiang, despite China’s claims that “re-education” camps are disappearing for Uighurs and other minorities.
An investigation through the Australian Institute for Strategic Policy showed that many prisoners were sent to prisons and in all likelihood to other institutions. China has denied that Uighurs have suffered human rights violations.
Using nighttime satellite imagery, researchers discovered and tested some 380 suspected detention sites in Xinjiang; at least of them had evolved between July 2019 and July this year, and of these, 14 were still growing.
We observed the knowledge of NASA satellites that showed that this was the worst chimney season on record. Upstairs, Shaver Lake, California, before this month.
Heat-sensitive satellites showed that fires in Washington, Oregon and California by 2020 had already overshadowed even the worst year before. Altogether, more than a million acres burned in all 3 states. And more devastating fires in the west show no signs of slowdown.
In addition to fires, climate change also contributes to heat waves in the ocean. A new study has found that man-made global warming makes the waves of sea heat, the ocean waves of a fatal summer atmospheric wave, at least 20 times more likely. Ocean heat waves are disrupting the food networks of sea lions and other creatures.
8. “Saturday Night Live” had to adapt the production to the Covid era. But as its longtime executive maker and author put it, “a little danger” can be smart for comedy.
We spoke to Lorne Michaels before the return of the comic book series with live episodes on October 3rd, Chris Rock will host Megan Thee Stallion as a musical guest.
Mr. Michaels talked about the new safety protocols (actors will wear masks until red accessories are activated), the addition of Jim Carrey betting on Joe Biden (“we’re in an era where comedy is only part of it”) and his hope that the first cold open parody will give the audience a sense of net and “that explanation of why it’s in the air. “
9. La maximum of us aren’t traveling lately. But that doesn’t mean we can’t live indirectly.
The annual travel factor of Times magazine takes us, back and forth, with a ascent through the Tetons in Wyoming, above, to Naples, Italy, where it has been comforted by Caravaggio’s paintings and Istanbul’s public baths (weeks before closing). has helped our travelers perceive what we have lost.
And a little closer to home, our architecture critic “walked” through Times Square with Jerold Kayden, a professor at Harvard School of Design, for his latest virtual tour of New York.
10. And finally, the musical treasure of Prince’s vault.
When Prince released “Sign O’the Times” in 1987, the music flowed from him, so much so that his label led him to reduce the number of songs. Now, “Sign O’ the Times” has been widely reissued and expanded with 3 new CDs of unpublished curtains from Prince’s huge archives, a DVD with live displays and more.
“The newly released songs reveal how many paths Prince tried before finishing “Sign O’the Times,” writes our music critic Jon Pareles,” and how many fake songs still did not meet his main criteria before his death in 2016. “The possible original options for the album are still maintained, Pareles writes, “but it’s a pleasure to hear a lot more. “
Have a rock night.
