The US economy is currently in a state of
flux. On the one hand, there are some positive
signs, such as low unemployment and strong job
growth. On the other hand, there are also some
worrying trends, such as rising inflation and
supply chain disruptions.
The unemployment rate is at a 50-year low
of 3.8%.
The economy added 187,000 jobs in August,
slightly below expectations but still a
healthy number.
Wage growth is picking up, with average
hourly earnings rising 5.3% year-over-year
in August.
Consumer spending remains strong,
accounting for 70% of economic activity.
The bad news
Inflation is rising at its fastest pace in
40 years.
The price of goods and services has
increased 5.3% in the past year, the
highest since 1981.
Supply chain disruptions are causing
shortages of goods and driving up prices.
The Federal Reserve is expected to raise
interest rates in an effort to combat
inflation.
The outlook
The outlook for the US economy is uncertain.
The positive signs suggest that the economy is
still growing, but the negative trends could
slow growth or even lead to a recession. The
Federal Reserve is walking a tightrope, trying
to raise interest rates enough to combat
inflation without causing a recession.
It is too early to say for sure what the
future holds for the US economy. However, it
is clear that the economy is facing some
challenges that will need to be addressed.
Here are some things that individuals and
businesses can do to prepare for the economic
uncertainty:
Save money. This will give you a cushion
in case of job loss or other unexpected
expenses.
Pay down debt. This will reduce your
monthly payments and free up more money
for other expenses.
Invest in yourself. This could mean taking
courses to improve your skills or starting
a side hustle.
Be flexible. Be prepared to change your
spending habits or job if necessary.
The economic outlook is uncertain, but there
are steps that individuals and businesses can
take to prepare for whatever the future holds.

SOUTH SUDAN
From South Sudan, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that they strongly condemn a deadly attack on two trucks delivering aid to Yei in Central Equatoria State that took place over the weekend on Saturday.
Two drivers were shot and killed, and both trucks were burnt and destroyed on their way back, as they were making their way back from the capital, Juba. As a result, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has paused moving supplies to the area.
The acting Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan, Mary-Ellen McGroarty, said those who provide vital assistance to the most vulnerable must be protected, and the killing of those who deliver aid as they are trying to save lives is unacceptable.
Across South Sudan, humanitarian workers – mostly national staff – face violence, threats and looting, among other challenges, while trying to reach people in need.
South Sudan tops the list of the world’s most dangerous places for humanitarian workers.
YEMEN
Hans Grundberg, the Special Envoy for Yemen, today held discussions in Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital, with senior Yemeni, regional, and international officials and diplomats.
He met with the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen, Mohamed Al Jaber, to discuss the progress of efforts to advance an agreement between the Yemeni parties on measures to improve living conditions in Yemen. Grundberg also met with the ambassadors of the five permanent members of the Security Council in Riyadh to coordinate international peace advocacy.
Mr. Grundberg reiterated that Yemen needs the support of the region and the international community to navigate the path towards sustainable development and peace.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY/NUMBERS
The UN security said that they issued 10,829 passes for delegates for this year’s General Assembly. That’s up from 6,755 last year. They also issued 2,255 media passes, up from 1,141 last year.
Also, they issued about 40,000 special event tickets compared to about 12,000 last year.

United Nations Video: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Global Monitoring Report 2023: Press Conference (18 Sep 2023)
Press briefing by; Dr. Bruce Aylward, Assistant Director-General, Universal Health Coverage, Life Course, World Health Organization (WHO); Dr Samira Asma, Assistant Director-General, Data, Analytics and Delivery, WHO; Dr Juan Pablo Uribe, Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population, World Bank.
The Assistant Director-General for Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact, at the World Health Organization (WHO), Samira Asma, today (18 Sep) said progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) “has slowed down to a near halt,” and “more than half of the world's population, were not fully covered by essential health services in 2021.”
Speaking to reporters in New York at the press launch of the 2013 Universal Health Coverage Global Monitoring Report, Asma noted that from 2000 to 2015, there had been “significant progress towards UHC.”
“A staggering 4.5 billion people,” she said remain without coverage.
Asma said, “as we stand at the midpoint on our way towards these global goals, this report is a stark reminder that billions of people remain deprived of life saving essential health services.”
She stressed that “the gains the world has made in improving care for infectious diseases and maternal and child health show that investments do pay off in economic returns, and most importantly, in lives saved.”
The World Bank’s Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population Juan Pablo Uribe said, “we need to prioritize health and the investment in health systems” and pointed out that the World Bank, which produced the Report in partnership with WHO remains ready to support countries and to partner with others “to collectively address this challenge and speeding up progress to universal health coverage in our countries and regions.”
WHO’s Assistant Director-General for Universal Health Coverage and Life Course, Bruce Aylward, said, “the commitment to health for all is becoming a commitment to health for some - and more health for some - and that is just not the right choice.”
Aylward said, “we're fully committed to do our part, monitoring what's happening, finding the best evidence about what works, helping you look at the smartest investments, advocating, and then providing the technical assistance on the ground.”
According to the Report the world is off track to make significant progress towards universal health coverage (UHC)
(Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target 3.8) by 2030 as improvements to health services coverage have stagnated since 2015, and the proportion of the population that faced catastrophic levels of out-of-pocket (OOP) health spending has increased.

Precious samples collected from an asteroid are to be moved to a specialist laboratory in Texas.
Material taken from what has been described as “the most dangerous rock in our Solar System” came down to Earth in Utah in a Nasa space craft.
The samples had been scooped up from the surface of asteroid Bennu in 2020 by the Osiris-Rex spacecraft.
Scientists hope the samples will provide some answers about how life began more than four billion years ago.

Officials in Kosovo have released images of heavily armed men who opened fire at police in northern Kosovo on Sunday.
Dozens Serb gunmen in armoured vehicles stormed a village, battling police and barricading themselves in a monastery in a resurgence of violence.
Kosovo police surrounded Banjska, a village located 55 kilometers (35 miles) north of Kosovo's capital, where the monastery is located.

ODN Video: KOSOVO: Police Surround 30 Gunmen In Monastery After Officer Shot Dead
'Kosovo: Police Surround 30 Gunmen In Monastery After Officer Shot Dead'.
Police have surrounded 30 gunmen in a Serbian monastery in Kosovo after an officer was shot dead, and another injured earlier on Sunday.
In a press conference, Kosovo's Prime Minister has blamed the attack on Serbia.
The killing increased tensions between the two former war foes at a delicate moment in their European Union-facilitated dialogue to normalize ties.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti said “masked professionals armed with heavy weapons” opened fire on a police patrol in the village of Banjska, in Leposavic municipality, 55 kilometers (35 miles) north of the capital Pristina at 3 a.m. (01:00 GMT).
Kosovo police said two trucks without license plates blocked a bridge at the entrance to the village. Three police units were sent to unblock it but came under fire from different positions with various weapons, including hand grenades and bombs.
Police managed to push back the attack and take two injured police officers to the hospital in southern Mitrovica.
One of them was dead on arrival, doctors said. The condition of the other is not life-threatening.
Speaking after a meeting of the country’s Security Council Sunday, Kurti said it was a “sad day” for Kosovo and named the dead police officer as Afrim Bunjaku.
The prime minister displayed a set of photos which showed a number of four-wheel drive vehicles without license plates and an armored personnel carrier “which does not belong to the Kosovo police,” near the Orthodox monastery in Banjska.
There was ongoing gunfire from what he described as a group of at least 30 military professionals, masked and heavily armed.
"Criminals and those who gave the order will be caught, tried and punished. The government is ready to respond to crime and criminals, terror, and terrorists," said Kurti.
Most of Kosovo's ethnic Serb minority lives in four municipalities around Mitrovica, in the north.
Reports in Kosovo Serb media said residents of Banjska were woken by shootings and explosions in the night.
In May tensions in northern Kosovo left 93 peacekeepers hurt in riots.
A particular flashpoint has been the creation of the Association of the Serb-Majority Municipalities, or ASM, to coordinate the work of Serb-dominated municipalities on matters such as education, health and economic development.

He's spent months in Mexico waiting to make an asylum case in the U.S. He's scheduled to get that chance Saturday but will likely have to leave behind his pet squirrel, Niko.
Their journey together is an unusual but blunt reflection of the emotional choices migrants make over what to take with them.

'TAIWAN: Six Dead And At Least Hundred Injured After Factory Fire'
Fires and explosions at a golf ball manufacturing factory in southern Taiwan’s Pingtung County killed at least six people and injured 98 people late on Friday, with four people still missing as of Saturday morning, according to local authorities
Search and rescue operations continued throughout the night and into the early hours at the Launch Technologies Company’s plant, as firefighters continued to extinguish the flames 12 hours after the fire initially started.
Three firefighters were among the dead, authorities said.
Their bodies were found on the first floor of the factory.
The cause of the fire and subsequent explosions remains under investigation.
The Pingtung fire bureau said unexpected explosions occurred right after firefighters attempted to douse the flames with water and authorities suspect the presence of natural gas may have played a part.
The bureau said the explosions caused a section of the factory building to collapse, trapping several individuals beneath the rubble.

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Global Video: CO2: How an essential greenhouse gas is heating up the planet
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas and is essential for life on Earth to function normally. However, humans are emitting it on an industrial scale, like through the burning of fossil fuels, which is contributing to global warming.
Kamyar Razavi explains how the exponential increase of CO2 release is causing the planet to heat up.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?
Global News explains.

When Russia invaded Ukraine just over a year ago, the question was raised if China could be watching what happened to determine if it could launch its own invasion of the independent island nation of Taiwan.
For years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Taiwan would some day reunify with China but outside of military exercises near the island, there has yet to be actual movement that has signified if Beijing would take the next step and try to invade.
Sean Previl takes a look at the history of the country, the political conditions it currently faces and what could happen if China did take that step.
