Covid-19 Live Updates: Trump’s New Virus Adviser Has Questioned Mask Use
Dr. Scott W. Atlas has argued that the science of mask wearing is uncertain, that children cannot pass on the coronavirus and that the role of the government is not to stamp out the virus but to protect its most vulnerable citizens as Covid-19 takes its course. Ideas like these, both ideologically freighted and scientifically disputed, have propelled Dr. Atlas, a radiologist and senior fellow at Stanford University’s conservative Hoover Institution, into President Trump’s White House, where he is pushing to reshape the administration’s response to the pandemic.
For the Kremlin, Aleksei Navalny Is a Threat It Cannot Speak Of

Australia’s First Recession in Decades Signals Tougher Times to Come
SYDNEY, Australia — Australia’s economic engine has run without a major hitch for nearly three decades. Propped up by rich natural resources, fast-growing trade with Asia, a talented work force and vibrant immigration rates, the country even avoided stumbling during the 2008 global financial crisis.

Melting Glaciers Are Filling Unstable Lakes. And They’re Growing.
Nearly freezing and often an otherworldly shade of blue, glacial lakes form as glaciers melt and retreat. These lakes are a source of drinking and irrigation water for many communities. But they can turn deadly in an instant when the rocks that hold them in place shift and send torrents of water coursing downstream.

Indian special forces member killed in China border skirmish
A soldier of Tibetan origin with India's special forces has reportedly been killed in the latest border confrontation between India and China on their contested Himalayan border, fuelling concerns of a wider military confrontation between the two regional powers.
The death is the first reported from two incidents occurring within 48 hours on the border, two months after a battle that left at least 20 Indian soldiers dead.
After UAE-Israel deal, Kushner pushes other Arab states for more
After accompanying an Israeli delegation to the United Arab Emirates for historic normalisation talks, White House adviser Jared Kushner set off on a tour of other Gulf capitals on Tuesday, looking for more Arab support.
Israel and the UAE set up a joint committee to cooperate on financial services at the talks in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi. Kushner, United States President Donald Trump's son-in-law, accompanied the Israeli delegation Monday on what was billed as the first Israeli commercial flight to the influential Gulf monarchy, which agreed in August to normalise relations with Israel.

Czech Republic's complaint against FM's warning nonsense
Shortly after Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned that Czech Senate speaker Milos Vystrcil will "pay a heavy price" for making an official trip to the island of Taiwan, Czech Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček tweeted on Monday that "Minister Wang's statements are over the edge." Petříček said the strong words Wang used "do not belong to relations between the two sovereign countries," calling on China to pursue "factual, practical cooperation without emotions that do not belong in diplomacy."
Which side on earth has been "over the edge?" Abiding by the one-China principle is the commitment made by countries that have established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. It's also a universally recognized norm. When Vystrcil arrived in the island of Taiwan on Sunday on his official trip - a blatant violation of the one-China principle and China's sovereignty - he and the Czech Republic will inevitably meet China's opposition, and must bear the consequences
It's still unknown what countermeasures China might take. But making those who infringe on China's sovereignty pay a price is the demand and stance of Chinese society. Vystrcil's provocation has drawn the ire of the Chinese public. Many netizens suggested that China respond by imposing sanctions, or even cutting economic or diplomatic ties.

China, Europe in need of cooperative endeavors against diverse provocations
China and Europe have renewed frequent interactions recently. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on August 24 met Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. On August 25, Wang began his trip to Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, France and Germany.
Thus, China and Europe should consolidate their cooperative endeavors and reject all kinds of provocations. Although China is facing very complicated international situations, it still adheres to peaceful development, opening-up and reciprocal cooperation
Europe also needs to prevent being caught up with an antagonistic mind-set fueled from Washington. Otherwise, it may lose a bright future of deeper and wider cooperation with China. On matters of free trade, the Nord Stream-2, 5G and multilateralism, Europe is under pressure from the US. But they are very weary of the current state of affairs and can plainly see the US is disregarding its partners and allies for raw self-interest

Chinese FM makes four-point proposal to promote multilateralism
China and France, as major responsible countries, need to actively promote and practice multilateralism which is essential for the well-being of most countries, especially small- and medium-sized ones, visiting Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Saturday.
First, China and France need to adhere to the concept of multilateralism. The two sides should actively promote multilateralism on various occasions, resist unilateralism and make multilateralism the consensus of the international community.
Second, both sides should take multilateral actions. China supports France in continuing to play a leading role in tackling climate change. (...)
Third, China and France should abide by multilateral agreements. Unilateralism, including irresponsible withdrawal from international organizations or violation of international agreements, is unpopular. China and France should strengthen coordination and cooperation on international affairs, and safeguard major outcomes of international agreements and multilateral diplomacy, such as the Iran nuclear deal.
Fourth, the two sides should strengthen multilateral institutions. The United Nations is the most important platform for supporting and practicing multilateralism, and the two sides should support the United Nations in playing its due central role in international affairs

India first to provoke, responsibility rests with India: Chinese FM
The Indian army's statement admitting that its troops pre-empted the Chinese military activity fully proves that it was the first to illegally cross the border in an act of provocation, the first to unilaterally change the status quo in the border area and the first to violate the important consensus reached by the two sides, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Since the beginning of this year, the Indian side has repeatedly violated bilateral agreements and the important consensus on the western section of the China-India border, unilaterally changed the status quo by force, undermined peace and stability in the border area and caused tensions in the border area.
Indian troops once again illegally crossed the Line of Actual Control near the south bank of the Pangong Tso Lake and near the Reqin Mountain on Monday. Earlier in the day, India, which first moved to accuse China of carrying out "provocative military movements," said it had preempted Chinese military activity.

LE MONDE
En Chine, l’omniprésent Xi Jinping fait sa rentrée sous le signe de la « pureté » et de la « loyauté »
Propagande et purges : le président chinois ne cesse de renforcer son pouvoir à l’approche de la fin de son deuxième mandat. A l’extérieur, il tire les conséquences des tensions avec les Etats-Unis, qui s’annoncent durables.
Au cours de l’été, un nouveau concept économique a fait florès : celui de « circulation duale ». Celui-ci sera au cœur du 14e plan quinquennal qui va être soumis au prochain plénum du PCC, en principe durant la seconde quinzaine d’octobre. L’idée maîtresse est non pas de renoncer à la globalisation de l’économie (la première circulation) mais d’intégrer ses limites en misant davantage sur la demande interne (la deuxième circulation). C’est la réponse de Pékin au découplage des économies.
A Beyrouth, Macron obtient des partis libanais un calendrier de réformes
Lors de sa deuxième visite en un mois, le président français a défendu la souveraineté du pays, tout en plaçant sous tutelle ses dirigeants. Il a promis de revenir en décembre.
Jean-Yves Le Drian, de son côté, a parlé ces derniers jours au chef de la diplomatie iranienne, Javad Zarif. Au menu : le dossier nucléaire, mais aussi le Liban. Selon une source française, le ministre a adressé un message clair à son homologue : le Hezbollah, considéré comme un sous-traitant de l’Iran, doit jouer un rôle constructif dans le processus politique en cours, d’autant que les manifestations au Liban, depuis octobre 2019, ont aussi pris le Parti de Dieu pour cible.
Facebook et Twitter bloquent une opération d’influence reposant sur un « média indépendant » attribuée à la Russie
Le site « PeaceData » recrutait, sous de faux prétextes, des pigistes américains pour publier des articles critiques de la politique des pays occidentaux. Facebook et Twitter ont désactivé des comptes liés à cette plate-forme, après un signalement du FBI.
Contrairement à d’autres campagnes d’influence de ce type, qui sont généralement alimentées par des employés de services de renseignement ou de sociétés qui en sont proches, celle-ci fonctionnait par le biais de pigistes américains, qui pensaient avoir été recrutés par un site d’information engagé et authentique. « Il n’y a aucune indication que les pigistes n’étaient pas sincères dans leur travail de rédaction », remarque Graphika, dans son rapport.
En visite à Kenosha, Donald Trump assimile les manifestations à du « terrorisme intérieur »
Le président des Etats-Unis s’est rendu mardi dans la ville du Wisconsin, après plusieurs nuits d’émeutes.
Tantôt applaudi par des partisans et hué par des manifestants du mouvement Black Lives Matter, Donald Trump a quitté Kenosha après deux heures de visite. Le président des Etats-Unis a affirmé vouloir rétablir « la loi et l’ordre », avec le soutien d’une « majorité silencieuse ». Une formule devenue la grande promesse de sa campagne de réélection.
Emmanuel Macron en visite en Irak pour la première fois
Le président français doit rester quelques heures à Bagdad avec l’objectif d’aider le pays à renforcer sa « souveraineté », entre les rivaux iraniens et américains.
A Bagdad, le message d’Emmanuel Macron devrait faire écho à celui de son chef de la diplomatie, Jean-Yves Le Drian, qui avait souligné, lors d’une visite en juillet, la nécessité pour l’Irak de « se dissocier des tensions de son voisinage ». Le 27 août, la ministre des armées française, Florence Parly, a elle aussi mené des entretiens à Bagdad et Erbil, capitale de la région kurde (nord), rappelant notamment l’importance de poursuivre la lutte contre le groupe djihadiste Etat islamique (EI). « Nous sommes convaincus que le combat contre Daech [acronyme arabe de l’EI] n’est pas terminé. Nous sommes à vos côtés », avait-elle déclaré.
Nouvel affrontement militaire entre la Chine et l’Inde dans l’Himalaya
Les deux géants asiatiques s’accusent mutuellement d’intrusion sur la rive sud du lac Pangong, une région prisée par les touristes et les amateurs de treks.
Les tensions sino-indiennes s’inscrivent dans un contexte géopolitique plus large, la stratégie des Etats-Unis pour contrer la toute-puissance de la Chine. Les Américains poussent, au grand dam de Pékin, l’Inde à se rapprocher d’un front indo-pacifique autour des Etats-Unis, de l’Australie et du Japon.

Amazon Drivers Are Hanging Smartphones in Trees to Get More Work
Someone places several devices in a tree located close to the station where deliveries originate. Drivers in on the plot then sync their own phones with the ones in the tree and wait nearby for an order pickup. The reason for the odd placement, according to experts and people with direct knowledge of Amazon’s operations, is to take advantage of the handsets’ proximity to the station, combined with software that constantly monitors Amazon’s dispatch network, to get a split-second jump on competing drivers.

The newest tensions along the 3,488 kilometer (2,167 miles) un-demarcated border come at a time of growing Chinese assertiveness in matters of sovereignty and as India grapples with a worsening coronavirus outbreak and an economy in crisis.

Renunció el jefe de la operación Lava Jato en Brasil
El fiscal Deltan Dallagnol, coordinador de la operación Lava Jato, la mayor investigación anticorrupción de la historia de Brasil, renunció a su cargo por motivos familiares. El sorpresivo anuncio se produjo en un momento de tensión entre los procuradores que conforman la operación y el fiscal general de Brasil, Augusto Aras, quien recientemente criticó la poca transparencia del grupo. Dallagnol es objeto de una serie de investigaciones internas en el Consejo Nacional del Ministerio Público que ya amenazaban con apartarlo del cargo. Algunas de esas investigaciones están relacionadas con su falta de imparcialidad en las investigaciones de la Lava Jato, que a lo largo de los últimos seis años llevó a la cárcel a decenas de empresarios y políticos, entre ellos el expresidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), quien ahora responde en libertad luego de pasar 19 meses preso.
