| A day of reckoning for Eric Garner Posted: 19 Aug 2019 05:00 PM PDT TicToc Tonight | Greetings, TicToc readers! End your day smarter with our Monday debrief: But first...  Pantaleo fired for 2014 Garner death More than five years after Eric Garner's death, the officer accused of causing it was fired from the NYPD. Commissioner James O'Neill announced that Daniel Pantaleo had broken department rules when he put Garner in an illegal chokehold in 2014 and could "no longer effectively serve as a New York City police officer." Pantaleo's dismissal marks the end of a yearslong campaign calling for his termination, and it's a decisive moment in the Black Lives Matter movement that kept alive Garner's dying words of "I can't breathe" as a rallying cry in the national debate over race and use of force by police. Highly quotable "I am sorry for the harm I have caused." Elizabeth Warren apologized directly to Native Americans for her past claims of Native heritage. "Cruel reality of occupation." Rep. Ilhan Omar told colleagues to visit Israel in face of the block on her and Rep. Rashida Tlaib to "see the things we were going to see." "No reasonable alternative." California enacted a law to limit lethal force by police to only when necessary to defend against the risk of death. $ignificant figures $577 million: How much Jeffrey Epstein said he had in assets that were put in a trust, according to a will he wrote two days before his suicide. 500 million: The number of bees in Brazil that have dropped dead so far in 2019 due to heavy pesticide use in the country's agriculture. 936: The number of accounts Twitter deleted that originated within China and attempted to manipulate and undermine the Hong Kong protests.  Gone but not forgotten Iceland's Okjökull glacier. Officials, activists and lots of kids bade farewell to the country's first glacier lost to climate change. Thailand's famous dugong. 8-month-old Marium, who charmed millions after conservationists rescued her, died from ingesting ocean plastic.  What's good One step closer. Zoos and circuses in the U.S. and China may soon be barred from buying African elephants that have been captured in the wild. A majority of countries at a UN wildlife conference backed a proposal to end the practice that environmentalists say "rips them from their families." Supporters of the proposal hailed the vote as "remarkable recognition that elephants don't belong in the entertainment industry."  Like what you're reading? Tell your friends to sign up.

| Shareholders come...second? Posted: 19 Aug 2019 02:15 PM PDT Evening Briefing Twitter and Facebook on Monday said China used fake accounts to undermine the Hong Kong protest movement. Both companies concluded the accounts were part of a coordinated state-backed operation, and removed them from the platforms. —Josh Petri Here are today's top storiesU.S. stocks rallied after the Trump administration signaled progress on trade negotiations and speculation grew that major central banks will keep shoring up their economies. Leaders at some of the world's largest companies said they plan to abandon the long-held view that shareholders' interests should come first amid growing public discontent over income inequality and the burgeoning cost of health care and higher education. Britain is headed towards a no-deal Brexit. To prepare the public, Boris Johnson's government is planning a publicity blitz. President Donald Trump continued his assault on the Federal Reserve, urging it to cut interest rates by a full percentage point.

| Maxime Bernier claims "Islamist extremists" have infiltrated Canadian politics Posted: 19 Aug 2019 02:11 PM PDT | His is a populist movement, Bernier explained at his party's inaugural conference, like the Brexit party in Britain, which elected 29 members to the European Union Parliament four months after its foundation. It is “discouraging” that Environmental Defence and other charities may have to zip their lips about climate change being real during the campaign period “because one party has chosen to deny the existence of this basic fact,” the group's executive director said. After Ford paused this year’s planned cuts — to public health, child care and land ambulance funding — it was unclear whether they would go ahead next year. His office now says some of those changes will take effect Jan. 1. Disney’s new service will exclusively stream its latest movies including “Avengers: Endgame,” “Aladdin” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” the company said. The service will also draw upon Disney’s library of its existing films. 👍 You're all set. Have a great day. Follow HuffPost Canada on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

| A Self-Inflicted Recession Is a Bad Soap Opera Posted: 19 Aug 2019 02:09 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  Someone Cancel This Bad Show The U.S. financial markets are like a soap opera with only two plot lines repeated over and over. On some days, including Monday, the world's two largest economies seem to be getting along, stock and bond markets are reasonably calm and recession talk recedes. On days featuring the other plot line of "As Our Terrible World Turns," the U.S. and China are telenovela-style mortal enemies, stock and bond markets panic and investors and corporate executives wallow in dark thoughts. The maddening thing is that hardly anyone asked for this show in the first place. It has been tempting to see the U.S. trade war against China and other protectionist initiatives as clumsy tactical disruptions or empty threats, but Bloomberg's editorial board says that a new idea seems to be dawning at last: President Trump's administration wants to dismantle global economic integration and international cooperation. Conviction that these traditions are at risk could become self-fulfilling, the editorial board writes, and tip the U.S. and the world into another recession. The president and his officials can stop making matters worse, the board says, by ending their reckless aggression on trade, and Congress should claim back the trade powers it has delegated to the White House. When Money Isn't 100% the Point A group of leading U.S. companies has ditched its longstanding principle that corporations should serve shareholders' interests ahead of those of employees, customers, taxpayers and other stakeholders. The document signed by nearly 200 top chief executives had the feel of a hell-freezing-over moment, but it was a non-binding commitment that doubled as virtue signaling. It's no longer cool for companies to be all about profits. Matt Levine also says that if a corporation's purpose isn't only to serve shareholders, it gets harder to evaluate a chief executive's performance by conventional yardsticks such as profits and stock price. And, Matt notes — tongue mostly not in cheek — that CEOs and boards gain an advantage if they can say a lagging share price and weak profits are consequences of looking out for constituencies other than stock owners. Maybe that $5 billion loss is very good for the planet. A Tricky Task for China's Central Bank Markets believe a recent policy measure by China's central bank is a broad effort to slash borrowing costs. Instead, Shuli Ren writes, it is a tweak that shows China is wary of flooding the country with cheap money, and that officials believe sweeping monetary measures won't necessarily get affordable financing to smaller businesses. Bonus China reading: More in monetary policy: This Ride Is Making Me Sick The "doom loop" sounds like a roller coaster at the local theme park, but it most definitely is not. John Authers explains that investor sentiment about Germany is more negative than it has been in years, in part because of the country's dependence on uncertain global trade (see the first item in this newsletter). Germany's central bank on Monday also warned of a looming recession. Europe's largest economy is flashing hallmarks of growth-challenged Japan, John says, and sour sentiment can hurt the economy and cascade into the rest of Europe and the U.S. The struggling German economy has spurred the government to consider ditching its commitment to a balanced budget to spend more on infrastructure and other items to jolt the economy. Leonid Bershidsky says no one should bet on it. Telltale Charts The U.S. healthcare industry tends to do fine in good times and bad, but investing in the industry now is a risky bet that no significant policy changes will reshape American health care, Max Nisen writes.  Younger Americans should have investment exposure to the more promising stocks and bonds outside the U.S., Nir Kaissar argues.  Solar energy, cheap shale gas and the shuttering of older power plants may end Vegas-like electricity prices in Texas, Liam Denning writes.

| Fikra Forum Newsletter: Palestinian Attitudes towards Two States, U.S.-Sudan Relations, Female Politicians in Israel Posted: 19 Aug 2019 09:49 AM PDT |  | | | | Generating Dialogue. Impacting Policy. | | | | | Fikra Forum director David Pollock, in his latest analysis of his 2019 Palestinian polls, examines respondents' conflicting attitudes towards an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He notes that while a majority would now reject a two-state solution over a continued fight to restore all of Palestine, respondents appeared to have more pragmatic expectations of the near future. Former Sudanese Ambassador Nasreldin Wali outlines ways in which the U.S. government can further encourage Sudan's peaceful transition to a civilian government, including direct engagement with civilian leaders and investment in the Sudanese economy. Former Fikra Forum research assistant Tamuz Avivi looks at the history and potential development of female representation in the Israeli Knesset. She outlines the challenges continuing to face female politicians in Israel and argues that individual parties have the greatest ability and responsibility to increase female representation in the upcoming Knesset elections.

| To all the glaciers I've melted before Posted: 19 Aug 2019 04:41 AM PDT China's crackdown on Hong Kong protesters, a funeral in El Paso, Boris Johnson to meet European leaders  THE BIG STORY
Hong Kong protesters are worried about facial recognition technology, but there are many other ways they're being watched
This weekend, a wave of protesters took to the streets in Hong Kong in open defiance of a police ban. Impressively, the demonstrations have sustained momentum for more than two months.
Since the protests started over a controversial extradition bill, participants have covered their faces, smashed closed-circuit television cameras, and communicated over encrypted apps to conceal their identities.
But now that the protests have grown into a wider resistance movement, with police expanding their tactics and nearly 750 people arrested, protesters are increasingly paranoid about how the authorities are working to identify them.
China is one of the most powerful authoritarian countries — its citizens are already heavily surveilled, often using facial recognition. With the government becoming more aggressive towards protesters, we took a close look at how China is tracking the Hong Kong protesters, beyond facial recognition.

STAYING ON TOP OF THIS His wife died in the El Paso shooting and he has no other family, so hundred showed up at the funeral
Antonio Basco has no other family. Last week, he issued an open invitation for his wife Margie Reckard's services. Reckard was one of 22 people who were killed in the Aug. 3rd mass shooting in El Paso.
On Friday night, moved by Basco's invitation, hundreds of people showed up. The line of mourners wrapped around the nearby streets, and thousands of flowers were delivered.
Those who came out wanted to let Baco know he wasn't alone in his grief and that he did indeed have a family in El Paso. They also came to heal together after a horror that shook their community.
As Basco looked out onto the crowd, he said: "I'm not alone. I thought I wanted to be alone, but I don't want to be."
The line of people waiting to stand with Basco. Ivan Aguirre / Reuters SNAPSHOTS Boris Johnson will meet with Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron next week to discuss Brexit. Macron and Merkel will be hoping that the UK prime minister will come prepared with ideas on how he intends to avoid a no-deal Brexit. Johnson has pledged to leave the European Union on Oct. 31, with or without a Brexit deal.

Authorities say he built the bunker while he was out on bond and awaiting trial in 2016.

 GOODBYE GONE GLACIER Iceland held a funeral for its first glacier lost to climate change and left a warning sign
The once-iconic Okjökull glacier was declared dead in 2014, an icy victim as the world warms at an unprecedented rate.
On Sunday, officials and researchers gathered at the site of the country's first glacier lost to climate change. It will likely not be the last.
Dozens of people, including Iceland's prime minister and other leaders, hiked to the site install a plaque that carries a message to the future and memorialize the frozen body that once spanned 15 square miles but has since melted into a lake.
The funeral comes just days after scientists confirmed July was the Earth's warmest month ever recorded.

Once in a generation, a viral video comes along that changes everything. Since I'm not in the future, I don't yet know how the universe will be altered by this TikTok, but I assure you it will be.
Jade Taylor-Ryan, a 17-year-old Canadian high school student, made a silly and perfect video, moving her cat as the 1954 song "Mr. Sandman" plays. The result is a video we can all get behind — and the internet has, as it spurred thousands of comments and so many recreations.
I just strongly think you should start your day with this.

When the anti-immigration deputy premier broke with his uneasy coalition partner, the Five Star Movement, in a bid to force a snap election earlier this month, he looked irresistible: His League party was close to 40% in the polls, Five Star was in disarray, and the opposition Democratic Party was still reeling from its electoral drubbing last year. But over the weekend signs emerged of a potentially paradoxical alliance to block the man who cites Donald Trump as his political inspiration — between the populist Five Star and the establishment Democrats. The real drama starts tomorrow when Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte addresses the Senate with the future of the government in the balance. If his administration falls, President Sergio Mattarella must choose whether to hold a new election or ask the anti-Salvini forces to form a governing coalition. The outcome of Italy's latest drama has huge implications for Europe: whether its most dangerous pile of government debt will be managed by a hardliner bent on further tensions with Brussels or a weak coalition that will need all the help it can get. — Ben Sills |  | | A rally for Salvini's League party rally in Pontida in July 2018.

The U.S. president said Cook made a "very compelling argument." - Trump said the U.S. is "doing very well with China, and talking!" but suggested he wasn't ready to sign a trade deal, hours after his top economic adviser laid out a potential timeline to resume talks.

Youthful energy | Democrats' prospects in the 2020 presidential election will turn on whether they can keep fanning the fires that drove young voters to the ballot box last year. A record jump in the 18-to-29 turnout helped the party win control of the House, and several signs point to a repeat of that trend. An uptick could prove particularly useful to Democrats in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire — states that were decided narrowly in 2016.

- Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford said he's exploring challenging Trump for the Republican nomination but that he'd still vote for the president over a Democrat.

Priming the pump | As Germany's economy slips further toward a possible recession, Chancellor Angela Merkel's government is starting to eye a fiscal stimulus package. Finance Minister Olaf Scholz floated the figure of 50 billion euros, days after Merkel said the country was heading for a difficult phase that might require action. But don't expect an announcement until the most politically sensitive of all indicators comes under threat — jobs.
Lesson plan | Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller and other top aides spent months searching for a way to give states the power to block undocumented immigrant children from enrolling in public schools. The previously unreported aspect of the administration's efforts to stem illegal border crossings was ultimately abandoned after its advocates were told repeatedly that any such effort would run afoul of a 1982 Supreme Court case.
Tricky decision | Brazil is considering designating Lebanese group Hezbollah a terrorist outfit, as President Jair Bolsonaro aligns himself with Trump on foreign policy. As Samy Adghirni exclusively reports, the idea is being mulled at the highest levels but doesn't have across-the-board support: It could strain ties with Hezbollah ally Iran, which imports $2.5 billion of Brazilian products a year, and displease Brazil's influential Lebanese community.

And finally ... As leaders prepare to gather for the Group of Seven summit at the French seaside town of Biarritz, Trump's again raising the possibility of targeting one of his host country's most prized exports: wine. The U.S. president told donors at a Hamptons fundraiser this month he could impose a 100% tariff to retaliate for a tax on multinational technology companies, Jennifer Jacobs and Jenny Leonard report. It's unclear how serious Trump was.
