As people marched all over the world on Friday, furious at how their fellow humans have despoiled the planet and poisoned its atmosphere, the planet is pushing back. —David E. Rovella Here are today's top storiesU.S. President Donald Trump plans to meet next week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly as reports swirl around what a U.S. intelligence official said about the men, and what the administration refuses to reveal.

| Robots occupy Wall Street Posted: 20 Sep 2019 01:35 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  The Rise of the Banking Machines Two of the biggest political battlefields of the past decade have been Chinese manufacturing and Wall Street riches. Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren wouldn't be where they are today without them. But once all the fighting and voting is over, robots will get the last word about both. That robots are in factories will shock no one, though it may yet disappoint any Trump voters expecting the president's trade war (which heated up again today) to revive factory employment. The era of China's manufacturing dominance is certainly over, writes Noah Smith, as its labor costs rise and productivity stalls. Some manufacturing will even return to the U.S. of A. But much of that work will be done by machines. Not coincidentally, factory employment is falling in the swing states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Somewhat more surprising is the robot takeover of banking. Algorithms already do a lot of trading, of course, turning the New York Stock Exchange into not much more than a colorful TV studio. But machines keep encroaching on more of finance all the time, leading to job cuts throughout the industry, writes Nir Kaissar. Retiring Goldman Sachs Group Inc. exec Marty Chavez calls non-coding traders an endangered species. Tech has certainly helped Goldman slash pay and jobs since the crisis, Nir notes, along with the number of highly paid partners needed to oversee it all. This has of course preserved Goldman's all-important profit margin. When protesters called for occupying Wall Street after the crisis, they probably didn't mean for robots to do the occupying. Laws? We Don't Need No Stinking Laws Much of the energy Trump has expended during his presidency has been in scrambling to place himself above the law, and this has been a milestone 24 hours for that effort, writes Tim O'Brien. Yesterday Trump's lawyers, fighting off the Manhattan DA's efforts to access his tax returns, told a court "the President cannot be 'subject to the criminal process' while in office." Meanwhile, his White House is stonewalling Democratic requests for information on a whistleblower's report that Trump made a shocking promise to a foreign leader on a phone call – possibly involving getting Ukraine to help his reelection campaign. This would clearly be an impeachable, and possibly removable, offense, writes Jonathan Bernstein. But that ultimately remains up to Senate Republicans, who must decide if a lawless president is the legacy they want to leave America. Johnson's Brexit Odds Go From 'Hopeless' to Merely 'Abysmal' Lionel Laurent has good news for Boris Johnson: European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker actually seems open to other ideas on the "Irish backstop" that has frustrated British efforts to cut a deal to leave the EU. Now all the U.K. must do is come up with another idea that makes everybody happy. Should be a snap! We've poked plenty of fun here in the Colonies at Britain's struggles with Brexit. But America has a big stake in this outcome too, James Stavridis reminds us. Britain leaving the EU, particularly in a no-deal Brexit, will be detrimental to the world security order that has helped keep Americans safe since World War II. Bad Times for Oil Markets Imagine you'd been in a sensory deprivation tank for the past week and were just told somebody had attacked Saudi oil facilities and taken out half the country's production capacity. How much higher would you say oil prices were as a result? $10 a barrel? $20? Infinity dollars? Try five bucks, more or less – the price of one of your dumber Starbucks drinks, as Liam Denning notes. Traders quickly remembered there's already too much oil sloshing around the world and curbed prices. But the attacks, along with America's unpredictable response to them, highlight how oil markets are increasingly fragmented, Liam writes. And that makes them more vulnerable to surprises. Further Energy Reading: Telltale Charts Europe's politics look like a total mess right now, but this is actually a healthy sign voters are throwing off the constraints of both parties and populism, writes Andreas Kluth.  Splitting up may be the right thing to do for Gap Inc. and J. Crew Group Inc., but it will make it harder for them to negotiate with suppliers and landlords, writes Sarah Halzack.

| Iran Wants ‘Regime Change’ for Saudis and Trump (Khalaji | PolicyWatch 3185) Posted: 20 Sep 2019 11:37 AM PDT IRAN'S PUSH FOR 'REGIME CHANGE' IN SAUDI ARABIA AND WASHINGTON by Mehdi Khalaji PolicyWatch 3185
September 20, 2019 Emboldened by their success in attacking Gulf and U.S. interests with relative impunity, Iranian leaders are now aiming to disgrace the Saudi royal family and foster Trump's defeat in the 2020 election. READ THIS ITEM ON OUR WEBSITE
The recent strikes on major Saudi Aramco oil facilities suggest that Iran’s rulers have adopted much more ambitious foreign policy objectives than previously believed. Beyond destabilizing the global energy market and strong-arming Europe and the United States to end President Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy, Tehran also seems bent on fostering fundamental political change among two of its biggest enemies: America and Saudi Arabia. The greatest phobia of Iranian leaders is the idea of regime change, a perceived threat that has shaped their actions since the Islamic Republic was founded. Whenever they make weighty decisions about coming to the table for negotiations or becoming more aggressive militarily, they do so mostly out of fear of regime change. For instance, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei allowed nuclear negotiations in the past when he believed the regime’s hold on power might be threatened by heavy economic sanctions and related domestic developments. Today, however, he has reverted to his old line of refusing to speak with a U.S. government that is supposedly bent on toppling him. As he stated in a September 17 speech, “When America offers to negotiate, it does not mean finding a just solution; what it is means is ‘Let’s negotiate so you accept whatever I say’...In the course of the past forty years, [Americans] have failed to master Iran [despite] using all sorts of artifices; instead, their policies, one after another, have been mastered by the Islamic Republic’s policies, and thereafter, by God’s strength and power, they themselves will be mastered by the Islamic Republic.” THREATENING THE SAUDI MONARCHY Since coming to power in 1979, the Iranian regime has never been able to fully normalize relations with the Saudi government, due in part to the kingdom’s status as a U.S. ally and the world’s foremost oil exporter. More recent developments have only worsened their mutual antipathy, from Riyadh’s gradual rapprochement with Israel, to the bloody conflict between the Saudi coalition and Iranian-linked forces in Yemen, to the 2016 attack on Saudi diplomatic facilities in Iran, which quashed any hopes of detente in the near future. In addition to standing on opposite sides of various regional issues and conflicts, leaders in both countries have directed increasingly antagonistic rhetoric toward each other over the past few years. In Tehran, officials have repeatedly bashed the Saudi ruling family and expressed their hope that the monarchy will collapse. As much as the phrase “regime change” frightens them in reference to Iran, it is sweet music to their ears when aimed at the House of Saud. For example, Khamenei’s annual Mashhad speech on March 21 included a lengthy tirade against Riyadh: “Saudi Arabia is the region’s worst government: despotic, unjust, corrupt, and a puppet...Western governments announce that they will provide nuclear facilities and missile production bases to this government because they know it is dependent on them...We do not mind them building such things because in the near future, by God’s grace, they will be taken over by Islamic warriors.” During a 2018 speech, Khamenei even denied Saudi sovereignty over the holy cities, the bedrock of the ruling family’s domestic and regional legitimacy: “The Holy Kaaba and [Mecca and Medina] belong to all Muslims, not to those who rule over that territory.” This year’s Mashhad address also proclaimed Khamenei’s confidence that Iran cannot be successfully attacked militarily, whether by regional or outside forces: “Today, everyone has concluded that the enemy is at war with us, and its manifestation is in economic issues...We will doubtlessly defeat the enemy in this war with God’s help, but that is not enough...We should also create deterrence...so that the enemy realizes he cannot pressure the nation through the economic sector...In the past, we were unable to confront the enemy’s air or missile attacks...But today, our enemies in the region or those who have forces in the region know that the Islamic Republic can respond firmly to any offensive with its high-precision missiles...The enemies who are sometimes tempted to launch a military attack should realize that it is not possible, that the Islamic Republic has a mighty fist with which it can retaliate.” More recently, Sadollah Zarei—a member of the editorial team for Kayhan newspaper, widely considered a mouthpiece for Khamenei—issued an eye-opening military threat against Riyadh during a September 17 interview. After denying the possibility of full-fledged war with the United States, he warned that Iran’s objectives would be maximal in any regional conflict: “If Iran attacks Saudi Arabia, all Saudi ports, oil wells, and energy resources will be targeted, and the objective will be toppling the Saudi regime, not just partially suspending Riyadh’s oil exports.” HURTING TRUMP’S REELECTION CHANCES Iran seems to be doing its best to make President Trump’s first term his last. If Khamenei has concluded that the U.S. administration cannot afford to go to war during an election year, he may become more assertive in trying to destroy the president’s credibility and campaign messaging, mainly by taking steps that make him look like a loser on foreign policy toward Iran, energy, and the Middle East. This includes seizing tankers in the Gulf, attacking Saudi production facilities, and other actions that drive up oil prices to the point they become a political liability for Trump. Ultimately, Tehran seems to believe it could claim credit for changing the U.S. “regime” while also making the next administration believe it has no choice but to back off on sanctions. According to this argument, a Trump loss in 2020 would make conditions more favorable for Iran in any future negotiations. Khamenei also appears bent on discrediting Trump in the eyes of America’s regional allies in order to weaken their own position in dealing with Iran. Other Iranian figures have expressed similar ideas about how to change Washington’s posture. On June 27, 2018, President Hassan Rouhani portrayed “resistance” as the only wise response to foreign pressure, then suggested the Trump administration would not endure long: “Don’t think that the person who, as president of America, violates all international rules and commits injustice against all the world’s Muslims, can succeed; rather, he will see an answer to his unjust behavior.” And earlier this month, Amir Mousavi—director of the Center for Strategic Research, a hardliner institute close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—declared that “the Iran dossier can lead to Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.” CONCLUSION Although it is by no means clear that Iran can actually affect U.S. public opinion or electoral preferences, the regime would no doubt be thrilled if the rest of the world merely believed that it had such capabilities. For a fundamentalist regime like the Islamic Republic, the appearance of power is often just as important as actual power. In the meantime, Iran continues to operate in the gray zone implied by Khamenei’s famous formulation that there will be “no war” with the United States, but no negotiations either—a strategy that has guided the regime’s actions throughout the region and given it a free hand to conduct bold destabilizing maneuvers against other states. Yet its recent threats against the Saudi monarchy and attacks on oil targets have crossed previously imagined limits and could escalate even further if left unchecked. Therefore, while the United States should carefully avoid military confrontation with Iran, keep the door open for direct negotiations, and do more to clarify what it wants from the Islamic Republic, it must also find credible and sustainable ways to strengthen deterrence and reverse the latest spike in Iranian aggression. In addition, U.S. officials should expect the regime to become more creative in how it pursues its anti-Trump agenda; having tasted success on that front, it will surely do more. Continued inaction is not an option, since that would only feed Iran’s ambitions. For proof, one need only look at the Saudi Aramco attacks, which came after the regime was emboldened by the lack of substantial response to its attacks on Gulf shipping and a U.S. drone.

| Defeating al-Qaeda’s Shadow Government in Yemen Posted: 20 Sep 2019 06:44 AM PDT | | |  |  Recent U.S. attention in Yemen has focused largely on the war against the Iranian-backed Houthis, but another threat endures: al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. U.S. efforts to confront AQAP have historically relied on counterterrorism approaches such as air and drone strikes, direct-action raids, and partnerships with indigenous and coalition security forces. But the Yemeni branch of al-Qaeda has shown impressive resiliency by adopting a "hearts and minds" and local governing strategy to secure support, making it difficult to defeat. Its continuing strength requires a rethinking of the U.S. approach, one that confronts the terrorist group's political strategy as much as its military strategy.
In this Policy Focus, Daniel Green, a former defense fellow at The Washington Institute, draws on extensive research and interviews with Yemeni officials and civil society leaders to propose a new framework for defeating AQAP. His recommendations call for a U.S. strategy that extends beyond using strictly counterterrorism approaches and encompasses governance reform, capacity building, and enlisting locals in their own defense. Only through the active participation of communities in their security and governing can AQAP truly be defeated.
THE AUTHOR Daniel Green has published extensively on Yemen and AQAP, testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and traveled to Yemen in 2013 as part of the research for this monograph. A reserve officer with the U.S. Navy, he most recently served as a tribal engagement officer in Iraq. His previous books include In the Warlords' Shadow: Special Operations Forces, the Afghans, and Their Fight Against the Taliban (2017), The Valley's Edge: A Year with the Pashtuns in the Heartland of the Taliban (2011), and Fallujah Redux: The Anbar Awakening and the Struggle with al-Qaeda (coauthored with Maj. Gen. William Mullen, 2014).

| For the Greta good Posted: 20 Sep 2019 05:05 AM PDT Historic climate strikes, Trudeau apologizes again, your weekend longreads  STAYING ON TOP OF THIS Trudeau apologized after two images of him in blackface emerged — after he apologized for partying in brownface
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is seeking re-election, apologized again after more images emerged of him in blackface — one day after he initially apologized for an uncovered photo of himself partying in brownface.
"Darkening your face, regardless of the context and circumstances, is always unacceptable because of the racist history of blackface," Trudeau said. "I should've understood that then, and I never should've done it."
Trudeau initially avoided answering if more photos of himself in blackface exist. When asked again, he said he is "wary of being definitive about this, because the recent pictures of this I had not remembered."
 SNAPSHOTS Trump is suing, yet again, to keep his tax returns secret. Trump's personal lawyers filed a lawsuit to block subpoenas issued by New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance for the president's tax returns. The president is now in federal courts in New York, California, and Washington, DC, attempting to avoid releasing his returns.
Democrat donor Ed Buck has been charged with a federal drug crime after two men died in his home. The longtime donor was charged in federal court in connection to the overdose death of one of two men who died in his California apartment. Prosecutors said Buck "preys on men made vulnerable by addiction and homelessness."
A Delta plane plunged nearly 30,000 feet midflight as terrified passengers grabbed oxygen masks. The plane descended 30,000 feet in 7 minutes, sparking panic and fear among passengers. Delta says the pilots decided to initiate a controlled rapid descent after being alerted to a "possible issue with the aircraft depressurization."
Tekashi 69 named fellow rappers Jim Jones and Cardi B as members of the Bloods gang while testifying in court. The once-rising star, whose birth name is Daniel Hernandez, cut a deal after being charged with racketeering and drug trafficking crimes for a lighter prison sentence if he cooperated with authorities. Prior to the deal being made, Hernandez was looking to spend a minimum of 47 years in prison.
PART OF THE PROBLEM Instagram's opioid recovery hashtags are full of drug dealers
Dozens of top posts under the #opioidcrisis and #opioidaddiction hashtags contained comments touting Oxycontin, Percocet, Codeine, and other prescription opioids — along with phone numbers and usernames for encrypted messaging accounts.
"We do not allow the sale of illegal drugs on Instagram," a spokesperson for Facebook — which owns Instagram — wrote to us. But drug dealers have had an easy time using the platform to connect with buyers, by perusing addiction recovery hashtags.
A typical entry, under a video describing tens of thousands of deaths by drug overdose, offered "fast deals" on "Oxys, Roxy, Xans, Addy, codeine, perc...Available 24.7 for delivery."
Read Joseph Bernstein on how Facebook's attempts to highlight the way its services can connect addicts with recovery communities can be coopted, as these hubs are also valuable real estate for dealers.
SIT WITH THESE ESSAYS Take these longreads with you into your weekend
Below Deck Is The Perfect Reality Show For The Age Of Millennial Burnout. The show stars hot, relatable service workers subjected to the whims of the rich. Pier Dominguez dives into why the show is a hit: "Every episode ends with the crew coming together, and we wait anxiously to hear the size of their tip. Especially in the age of millennial burnout, it's easy to identify with performing work under constant pressure, hoping to reap rewards subject to the whims of the 1 percent."
You Wanted Justin Trudeau To Be Good. Justin Trudeau built his image on being the progressive, woke world leader. But in accepting that image, Scaachi Koul argues, people accepted a veneer far too easily, when the evidence pointed to it not being real: "We know you wanted him to be good, an obvious antidote to Trump. But, unfortunately, though Canadians tend to do things with less zeal, it seems our leaders are pulling the same shit anyway."
How Did Lauren Duca's Revolution Backfire? Lauren Duca went viral. This much we know. Now that she's back with a new book, Scaachi Koul unpacks why Duca's past controversies — and a new complaint filed by her New York University students — threaten to undermine her message. From the piece: "'Congratulations, you thrillingly, thrillingly adept journalist, you have discovered that Lauren Duca is not perfect. Put it in the headline, baby.'"

| The climate war is here Posted: 20 Sep 2019 03:18 AM PDT Balance of Power | | From  | | | | | There's a war over carbon coming, and the battle lines are being drawn.
In Berlin, Angela Merkel's government deliberated a plan to curb carbon through the night. The far-right AfD party that campaigns to "save diesel" says the prospect of paying more to drive a car or to fly will "ruin Germany."
In Canada, October's election could be decided on Justin Trudeau's introduction of a carbon tax, a measure that has aligned conservative provinces against him and which his main challenger promises to cancel if he wins.
In revoking California's right to regulate vehicle emissions, Donald Trump is taking the fight to a Democratic environmental heartland ahead of the 2020 contest.
Make no mistake: leaders will win or lose elections on the basis of their climate policies. Voters in Australia backed the coal-championing conservative government of Scott Morrison in a May ballot fought along lines of environmental concerns versus jobs.
The political fight moves next week to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Expect Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's defense of the torching of the Amazon rain forest to arouse passions.
But change often begins in the streets. And today millions of people from Sydney to London will march for less talk and immediate action.
— Alan Crawford |  | | Thousands of school students walked out of their classrooms in Sydney, Australia to kick off the global strike. Click here for more on how automakers have avoided public events surrounding Trump administration efforts to dismantle Obama-era mileage standards and here for Bloomberg's most compelling images from the past week. | | Photographer: David Gray/Bloomberg | | | Global Headlines | | Dirty tactics | Even before bombshell pictures of Prime Minister Trudeau in blackface makeup surfaced this week, the election campaign in Canada has turned into one of its nastiest ever. As Theo Argitis reports, the governing Liberals and their main opposition Conservatives have foregone the usual niceties in favor of tactics more common in the hyper-partisan mud-slinging contests south of the border in the U.S.
Missed opportunity? | Democrats running for the U.S. presidency have voiced support for striking General Motors employees. But with two exceptions, the 19 candidates haven't visited the picket lines — even though the workers are the exact kind of voters they will need to defeat Trump in crucial swing states like Michigan next year. - Democratic lawmakers are accusing intelligence officials of stonewalling on details of a whistle-blower's complaint, even as Trump dismisses suggestions he said anything "inappropriate" in a conversation with a foreign leader the Washington Post cited as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Famine threat | A dangerous cocktail of drought, cyclone-induced floods and a collapsing economy is threatening to spark Zimbabwe's worst-ever famine. As Antony Sguazzin explains, the southern African nation that was once one of the continent's biggest grain exporters will probably run out of corn — its staple food — by January, and 60% of its people won't have enough food to eat.
Pound gyrations | No one can work out what is going on with Brexit, and so sterling is moving at every slight utterance as traders read the tea leaves of policymakers — no matter now cryptic. Outgoing European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker gave an interview to Sky where he said that he thought a deal could be made and more oddly, "I don't have an erotic relation to the backship...to the backstop." The pound rose.
Violent arrests | Amnesty International has accused the Hong Kong police of beating pro-democracy protesters in custody, saying some of these acts amounted to "torture." In a new report, the rights group outlined a number of alleged abuses during the city's long summer of unrest. Police have declined to comment on specific cases, but said they "respect the privacy, dignity and rights" of people they have detained.
What to Watch - Australian leader Morrison's lavish visit to the White House today comes at a critical time as both nations seek to counter China's growing influence in the South Pacific.
- Some inflation-weary Turks are stealing lids for glass jars as they hunker down for winter, a time of higher food prices.
- Brazil's Bolsonaro is adamant about wanting to address the UN General Assembly and "clarify" his controversial environmental position. A doctor will determine today if he's fit to travel.
- Merkel's coalition is edging closer to a climate package worth billions, with an announcement due any time.
And finally ... As the developed world faces a future of aging and depopulation, Japan provides a cautionary tale. It now has two economies: an urban-industrial corridor stretching about 300 miles from Tokyo through Osaka that has cutting-edge businesses and world-class wealth, surrounded by a second with small cities and dying towns. Many of those will be completely deserted over time, while others become unlivable by today's standards. The world is watching how Japan will cope.  | | | | |   |
