World Permalink to the full World digestZambia votes Thursday, 8.79 million registered, Hichilema seeking a second term on a debt-restructuring record that has not reached households. New Zealand's Luxon survived a second confidence vote in four months, his preferred-PM rating at a record-low 17% and unemployment at an 11-year high. An overloaded ferry capsized on Lake Kariba: 15 dead, 27 missing, 77 rescued onto a small island. Permalink to the full United States digestUnited States - mail-in voting order blocked nationwide. Judge Talwani barred USPS from carrying out Trump's directives in every state, expanding a June injunction that covered only the 23 mostly Democratic-led states and D.C. that sued. The order requires USPS to compile state lists of eligible voters and deliver absentee ballots only to people on them. Talwani: across district courts, appeals courts and the Supreme Court, the government has "declined to defend the constitutionality" of it, and offered no evidence of fraudulent absentee voting. The Supreme Court still hasn't ruled on her earlier order. Record fire season in the Northwest. Half of all out-of-control US fires are burning in the Northwest, with about a third of the nation's acres burned this year in Oregon alone - a record, and it isn't mid-August. Two 100,000-acre-plus fires in Oregon and Washington are the top priority; the most destructive, Old Trails, is suspected arson. Ten wildland firefighters have died this summer, including two pilots in a Utah helicopter crash Friday. California has yet to see fires on this scale. Spokane residents are only now taking stock of burned neighborhoods. Guard in D.C., year one. Nearly 5,000 troops from more than 20 states, up from 800, with the deployment quietly extended to Inauguration Day 2029. The federal appeals court hearing the challenge has signalled the administration is likely to win. Retired military lawyers sent Congress a report on the midterms - Maj. Gen. Steven Lepper: military use would "impose the will of the people commanding those forces" on citizens. Federal law already bars troops from polling places, and Republicans call the worry alarmist. Similar anti-crime deployments run in Memphis and New Orleans. The Kennedy Center must pay vibraphonist Chuck Redd $252,479 in fees after a judge threw out its $1m suit over his cancelled Christmas Eve show under D.C.'s anti-SLAPP law. DOJ sent FBI agents to serve subpoenas at journalists' homes over reporting on why Trump didn't leave Ankara on the new Air Force One - the flight he left by catering truck. Permalink to the full Europe digestEurope - Baltic defence startups. The pitch is the niche the big primes won't touch: autonomy, edge computing and drones that keep working where GPS and comms are jammed. Lithuania puts more than 5% of GDP into defence in 2026, the highest share in NATO. But little of it reaches startups - in cash terms the three states are small, and artillery and long-range weapons come first. ICDS's Lawrence: self-sustaining means exporting, with Estonia the one state running grant schemes for that. Ones to watch, per the analysts: Repsense in Vilnius, tracing Russian propaganda back to its source, and DefSecIntel in Tallinn on border and infrastructure surveillance. Russia freed ex-US marine Robert Gilman, jailed since 2022 for attacking a police officer, after Trump asked Putin and cited his health. Permalink to the full Middle East digestMiddle East - Hormuz hardens, Brent near $90. Brent October futures at $89.61, up about 24% on pre-war after Tuesday's attacks on shipping. Rezaei, days into the SNSC secretariat, added a condition: region-wide ceasefire including Gaza and Lebanon, on top of ending the blockade and releasing frozen assets. Tehran also says the Oman route deal has no bearing on reopening, while Qatar calls those talks advanced. Ten vessels crossed Monday against roughly 130 prewar. Energy Secretary Wright put the seven-day outflow at 9 million bpd; Commodity Context peaks it near 7. The EIA does not expect regional production near pre-conflict levels before early 2027. Permalink to the full Asia digestAsia - Pyongyang tests before Ulchi Freedom Shield. A ballistic missile fired from the Wonsan area around 6 a.m. Wednesday flew more than 700km, landing outside Japan's EEZ. Second launch in under a week, after an August 6 short-range test that was the North's first ballistic activity since late June. The trigger is scheduled: Seoul and Washington announced two days earlier that the annual drills begin August 17. Koizumi protested through the embassies in Beijing. Permalink to the full Africa digestAfrica - Benghazi car bomb. LNA military intelligence chief Fawzi al-Mansouri was killed Monday night by a device stuck to his car as he left a mosque. Nobody has claimed it; Khaled Haftar says a cell preparing sabotage was arrested in Benghazi, without linking it to the killing. Verisk Maplecroft's Kinnear: an attack of this precision in the LNA's own stronghold points to significant capabilities on the attacker's side. It lands on a Washington-mediated plan to unify Libya's rival executives, which the LNA publicly backs. Harchaoui: the deal rests on the premise that security reigns supreme in Benghazi - a bomb outside a mosque undermines it. Business & Markets Permalink to the full Economy digestEconomy - CPI lands with September a coin flip. Dow Jones consensus for July: 0.1% headline, 0.2% core, 3.4% and 2.5% year on year, both a tenth below June. BofA's rule of thumb: a two-month core average at 0.25% makes a September hike "all but guaranteed", under 0.2% delays it, in between leaves it to Warsh. Traders now put September at even odds, October or December better. Cleveland's Hammack, one of the dissenters: a single 25bp move doesn't do a whole lot, so expect several. RSM's Brusuelas reads it the other way - anywhere near his forecast and the committee looks through the supply shock and holds for the rest of the year. Technology Permalink to the full Technology digestChrome binds sessions to hardware. Chrome on Windows and macOS now ships device-bound session credentials, keying the session to a TPM or secure enclave. The target is session cookie theft - infostealers and adversary-in-the-middle kits that paste a stolen cookie into the attacker's browser and inherit the login. That attack grew precisely because 2FA and passkeys made password phishing useless. Permalink to the full Software digestSoftware - Mojo hits 1.0. Modular declared the language stable three years after first release, shipping in 26.5. The 1.x commitment is additive-only, with breaking changes "managed with care" on the C++ model. Getting there meant collapsing redundancy: var everywhere, one closure form, one Pointer type, plus a round of renames. Also new: Python-style lambda syntax, a far more stable LSP server, and diagnostics for reference invalidation - noticing when List.append kills a reference into the list. The compiler is still closed, open sourcing promised for 2026; developers are waiting on it to clear the air after the Qualcomm acquisition. Permalink to the full AI digestAI - Nvidia ships a model router. NeMo Switchyard is out as an open source routing library, sending each step of an agent workflow to a different model across a developer's own mix of open, proprietary and Nvidia weights. Nvidia's internal benchmark claims frontier-level accuracy at nearly one-third the task-completion cost of Opus 4.8 alone. Cognition put the staged router in Devin Desktop for Nvidia-internal use: near-frontier on FrontierCode Main, mean cost down 28%. Boomi routed 59% of traffic to a 5x faster fine-tuned model, later-turn latency down 21%. LiteLLM is adding it as a proxy plug-in, no stack changes. Gemini at 1B monthly users. Pichai says the Gemini app and web interface hit 1 billion MAU, faster than any other Google product. The metric counts prompts typed into the app or the site - not AI Overviews, Gmail or Drive summaries, where Gemini is unavoidable. 63% of those users use voice input, and a fifth of Gemini Live users share camera or screen. Image generation runs at 150 million a day, all SynthID-watermarked. Science Permalink to the full Space digestSpace - SpaceX says it is an AI company now. Musk to employees Aug. 11: AI revenue exceeds all other SpaceX revenue in September, and significantly so in Q4. The math is 10 GW of compute online by end of 2027 at $30-50 per watt - $300-500 billion a year. Current capacity is 1.4 GW, sold to tech companies and AI labs. Pre-IPO paperwork claimed a $28.5 trillion total addressable market, some $23 trillion of it AI; US GDP last year was $30.8 trillion. The roadmap behind it: a million Starmind satellites, lunar factories to build them, mass drivers to launch them off the moon. Musk: AI is 99% of the value of SpaceX in four or five years. Permalink to the full Climate & Energy digestClimate & Energy - 185 wildfires in ten days. English brigades answered 185 wildfires in the first 10 days of August. The New Forest heathland fire that started Sunday was under control by Tuesday, with 36C forecast for Thursday. The Guardian's argument: ministers have left this to the emergency services. The FBU wants 5,000 more firefighters and new equipment, and the inspectorate has asked repeatedly for enforcement powers. The fire safety minister who announced the post-Grenfell College of Fire and Rescue was sacked three weeks ago, with no update since. The Climate Change Committee's own verdict on existing adaptation plans: not fit for purpose. Sport Permalink to the full Football digestFootball - the boycott meets a real tournament. Uefa's 55 members have threatened to boycott Fifa competitions over Infantino, and the Under-20 Women's World Cup starts in Poland on 5 September. The PZPN says it has received no withdrawal notice from any team. France and Portugal intend to travel; England's FA has not confirmed, though Lydia Bedford's squad is still preparing. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy wants Infantino gone - "the time is up" - but opposes the boycott, which would penalise women and girls for a fight they are not part of. Permalink to the full Tennis digestTennis - Jodar rewrites the clock. The 19-year-old Spaniard beat Arthur Fils 7-6(5) 6-3 to reach the Canadian Open semi-final and sits 11th in the live rankings. Beat Nakashima and he is top 10 - 140 days after entering the top 100, against Becker's 210-day record from 1985. Context: Alcaraz took 336 days, Djokovic 623, Nadal and Sinner 735, Federer 973. Full-time pro since January, one title (Marrakech), Roland Garros quarters, and already among the bookmakers' top eight for the US Open. With Sinner and Alcaraz both sidelined, the succession question has an early answer. Culture & Entertainment Permalink to the full Film & TV digestFilm & TV - why Ellison picked Oct. 1. The WGA, co-plaintiff in the suit to block the $110bn Warner Bros. deal, on the threat to move Paramount out of California: this behavior is precisely why the merger should be blocked. The date isn't arbitrary - Oct. 1 is when Paramount starts owing WBD shareholders a ticking fee, over $1 billion by the end of the March 2027 trial. Ellison's own framing, in a NYT op-ed: the states object not to consolidation but to him controlling CNN. Permalink to the full Books & Arts digestBooks & Arts - the RSC's fiction habit. Verdict on Game of Thrones: The Mad King - the "Shakespearean" claim rests mainly on the casting, four past-and-future Lears plus a Macbeth and a Hamlet in the TV cast. Macmillan's dialogue leans on riddling aphorisms and "mayhap" for "perhaps". Missing is Shakespeare's reach past the dynasty: little sense of the power struggle's impact on the commonwealth. Stratford follows this with adaptations of George Eliot and Dumas. The counter-proposal: Walter Scott, or the more radical option of staging plays Shakespeare actually wrote.
