How Local Covid Deaths Are Affecting Vote Choice

The gap between stated voting support for Mr. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. grows by about 2.5 percentage points in Mr. Biden’s favor when a county has extremely high levels of coronavirus-related deaths relative to when it has low levels. These changes may come within counties as the number of virus-related deaths change, or across counties at any given point in time. For example, Covid-19 fatalities exploded in Wayne County in Michigan in April, suggesting a 1.25-point expansion of the gap between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden.

Migrant Workers

As the coronavirus has destroyed paychecks, migrant workers are sending less money home, meaning it’s near-certain that poverty from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa to Eastern Europe and Latin America will increase. The World Bank estimates that the remittances are likely to plunge by one-fifth this year — the most severe contraction in history.

Lebanon's Hezbollah accuses Israel of fabricating border clash

Beirut, Lebanon - Hezbollah denied its fighters staged an "infiltration attempt" that led to clashes with Israeli forces on Monday calling the Israeli account a move to create "false victories".

The Lebanese armed group also vowed revenge for a Hezbollah member killed in a suspected Israeli air strike in Syria last week saying a response against Israel was "coming for sure".

Trump loosens rules on armed drone exports amid rivalry with China (Al-Monitor)

US President Donald Trump has loosened restrictions on Washington’s ability to sell armed drones to foreign governments amid concerns about China’s defense relationships in the Middle East.

The United States has now formally changed its interpretation of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a 35-nation agreement aimed at limiting the proliferation of rocket-based weapons such as ballistic and cruise missiles as well as armed drones.

How the wars in Libya and Syria are strangely intertwined (Middle East Eye)

When Egypt recently threatened to intervene in Libya’s war, Cairo received the wholehearted support of Damascus. 

That the embattled Syrian regime, itself still fighting a gruelling civil conflict that has drawn in a myriad of foreign intervention, would so enthusiastically back similar interference elsewhere might seem odd. But it serves a wider purpose for Assad, ingratiating him to Egypt and its allies. 

It also fits a pattern that has been present since the beginning of both the Syrian and Libyan civil wars in 2011. Though the two conflicts have taken different paths, the Libya war has frequently impacted events in Syria, with reverberations felt in unexpected ways on the other side of the Mediterranean.

Declaring that potential breaches of international humanitarian law by the Saudi-led coalition amounted only to "isolated incidents", Secretary of State for International Trade Liz Truss announced herself to be satisfied that Saudi Arabia has a "genuine intent and capacity" to comply with international law and that there is therefore no clear risk of the misuse of weapons.

Anti-separatism a challenge to governments worldwide

Radio France Internationale (RFI) Chinese edition reported on Sunday that France will unveil an anti-separatist legislation as early as September.

France is one of the victims of religious extremist forces and has become a target for extremists' attacks in recent years, including the Charlie Hebdo terror attack in January 2015.

Separatism is a puzzle which concerns not only France, but many other Western countries, including the UK, Spain and Canada.

Some netizens doubt that France might have learned something from China's governance in Xinjiang, especially the Chinese way of de-extremism, and is now trying to apply similar and stricter methods.

Arctic mining should be spared in China-Canada tensions

A Chinese company's acquisition of a gold mine in the Canadian Arctic is facing backlash in Canada over China's growing presence in the region. Canadian opposition parties have called on the Trudeau government to stop Shandong Gold Mining Co from buying TMAC Resources Inc, so as to "slow China's growing control over strategic minerals," according to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal.

 

At a time when China-Canada relations are strained over the illicit arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, raising unnecessary alarm over the so-called threat to Arctic sovereignty may only complicate bilateral tensions by introducing a new geopolitical fight.

Any minor move in the Arctic could trigger a high alert and significant pressure from global powers.

US-listed Chinese companies to accelerate homecoming

Whether or not US-listed Chinese companies should return to Chinese stock markets now seems to be an issue of concern as the bilateral tensions elevate, and risks keep accumulating in the US financial system. A homecoming trend led by Chinese tech giants is set to accelerate.

US Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a China hawk, last week urged the Trump administration to pursue tougher rules for Chinese companies listed in the US. Earlier this month the senator was reportedly preparing a bill to ban Chinese companies from listing in the US, and some rightist media outlets are talking about ousting Chinese companies and even launching a financial war.

Such blunt actions are intended to fuel anti-China sentiment in America which will help Trump's reelection bid.

as the US may tighten its listing rules to restrict Chinese firms, Chinese capital markets are maturing and becoming more inclusive to welcome more of its companies back home.

Donbass : à peine décrété, le cessez-le-feu violé

Il n’a fallu qu’une vingtaine de minutes pour que le fragile cessez-le-feu soit violé. L’attaque, vue du côté ukrainien comme une provocation, qualifiée par la partie adverse de mensonge, a été détaillée dans la matinée du lundi 27 juillet par le commandant Volodymyr Kravchenko. « Malheureusement, aujourd’hui à 00 h 20 et 00 h 45, l’ennemi a tiré sur une unité de la 36e brigade avec des armes légères et des mitrailleuses. Aucun blessé n’a été recensé parmi les troupes ukrainiennes. Nos unités n’ont pas répondu à l’attaque », a expliqué le militaire ukrainien, cité par le site d’information Ukrinform. A 9 heures, trois nouvelles agressions ont été recensées contre la 79e brigade ukrainienne avec des grenades antichars.

En mars, sa tête a été mise à prix pour 10 millions de dollars (9 millions d’euros) par la DEA, un record pour un narcotrafiquant mexicain.

Un coup de filet à la hauteur de la mainmise de ce cartel sur le marché des méthamphétamines et autres drogues de synthèse. En tête, un opioïde cinquante fois plus puissant que l’héroïne : le fentanyl, qui fait des ravages aux Etats-Unis (plus de 31 000 morts par overdose en 2018) et offre aux trafiquants des marges bien supérieures à celles de la cocaïne.

Profesionales de la salud denuncian a Jair Bolsonaro por genocidio ante La Haya

Una coalición de más de 60 sindicatos y movimientos sociales —la mayoría de profesionales de la salud, liderados por la Red Sindical UniSaúde— ha pedido ante la Corte Penal Internacional que el presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, sea condenado por genocidio. En la denuncia, presentada el domingo en La Haya, se argumenta que Bolsonaro ha cometido un crimen de lesa humanidad, tanto por alentar acciones que aumentaron el riesgo de proliferación de la covid-19 como por negarse a implementar políticas de protección para las minorías. Un documento de 64 páginas, que representa a más de un millón de profesionales de la salud, señala “fallos graves y mortales” en la respuesta brasileña a la crisis sanitaria.

Noruega estudia si hay condiciones para el diálogo en Venezuela y despierta los recelos de la oposición

El viaje en sí no tenía el propósito de abordar una negociación entre las partes, sino más bien estudiar si existen las condiciones necesarias para dar un paso más. Sin embargo, la mera presencia de los representantes noruegos despertó los recelos del equipo de Juan Guaidó, que rechazó de plano el escenario de un acercamiento.

Nuevas ilegalidades de Bolsonaro

En medio del torbellino que vive Brasil – al mediodía se supo que el número de infectados por la covid-19 superó los dos millones 400 mil, y el de víctimas fatales se acercó a 90 mil –, surgieron nuevas y graves denuncias contra el ultraderechista Jair Bolsonaro.

La más contundente fue la presentación, en el Tribunal Penal Internacional de La Haya, de un documento que acusa a Bolsonaro de haber cometido “crimen contra la humanidad y genocidio”. Presentada en la noche del domingo, la denuncia trae un peso extra: viene firmada por un millón de trabajadores en el sector de Salud, de enfermeros a médicos. Aunque el Tribunal de La Haya tarde meses en decidir si acepta juzgar denuncias recibidas, la repercusión ha sido muy fuerte y podrá traer consecuencias.
