| We’re covering the latest on Hurricane Dorian, the arrest of prominent pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, and the unexpected departure of President Trump’s personal assistant. And it’s Friday, so there’s a new news quiz. | |  By Chris Stanford | | | Stocking up on plywood in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Thursday. Saul Martinez for The New York Times | | | Forecasters expect Hurricane Dorian to arrive somewhere along the state’s east coast on Monday afternoon, but exactly where is a mystery: Some models predict that it will deliver a direct blow to Central Florida, others that it will veer north or south. | | | Joshua Wong, pictured at a protest in June, was a leader of the 2014 Umbrella Movement. He was arrested in Hong Kong today. Lam Yik Fei for The New York Times | | | Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow, who were student leaders in the city’s 2014 pro-democracy demonstrations, were among those arrested, their political organization said. | | | Background: Five years ago, Beijing announced a plan for limited democracy in Hong Kong that set off the Umbrella Movement, a two-month occupation of several neighborhoods. The current demonstrators had hoped to commemorate the anniversary of that day, known as “the 8/31,” with a huge march on Saturday, although that now seems unlikely. | | | The former F.B.I. director violated policy by disclosing memos about his interactions with President Trump, setting “a dangerous example” for officials, according to a report by the Justice Department’s inspector general that was released on Thursday. | | | Background: Mr. Comey documented his encounters with Mr. Trump early in his presidency because he worried that the president would lie about their discussions. Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey in 2017 and tried to undermine his standing as a key witness in the investigation by the special counsel, Robert Mueller. | | | Response: Mr. Comey noted that the inspector general found that he had broken no laws, and criticized those who had accused him of lying or leaking information. | | | Mayor Pete Buttigieg with protesters outside the South Bend Police Department headquarters in June. Mark Felix for The New York Times | | | The two-term mayor of South Bend, Ind., spent years focusing on his city’s economic record. But after a white police officer fatally shot a black resident in June, Mr. Buttigieg’s record on policing has overshadowed his presidential campaign. | | | Related: The Democratic National Committee is expected today to block Iowa Democrats’ plan to allow some caucusgoers to vote by phone next year, after concerns that the process could be hacked. “Virtual caucuses” would have expanded the electorate beyond those voters able to attend a winter-night gathering for several hours. | | | Patrick McMullan, via Getty Images | | | A Times review of lawsuits and court documents, along with new interviews, provides disturbing allegations about how a small group of women helped Mr. Epstein recruit teenage girls for sex. Two of the women under scrutiny are pictured above: Sarah Kellen, left, and Ghislaine Maxwell. | | | Several of the women who said they were abused by Mr. Epstein spoke at a court hearing this week. “Jeffrey is no longer here, and the women that helped him are,” said one. “They definitely need to be held accountable for helping him.” | | | PAID POST: A MESSAGE FROM CAMPAIGN MONITOR | | Email Marketing 102: Work smarter, not harder. | | Working smarter means running beautiful, results-driven email marketing campaigns – without sacrificing any bandwidth along the way. And with Campaign Monitor, you'll have access to a drag-and-drop email builder, a gallery of templates, and personalized customer journeys – all the tools you need to replace ‘harder’ with ‘smarter.' | | | Learn More | | | | Genetics and sexuality: Many genes influence same-sex behavior, not just a single “gay gene,” an ambitious study found. Social and environmental factors have roles, too. In an Op-Ed for The Times, one of the researchers and a colleague, both gay men, parse the implications and limitations of the work. | | | Shift in Iran: The country’s leaders have concluded that they must eventually negotiate with President Trump, according to several people with knowledge of the decision, on the basis that he may be re-elected and that Iran could not withstand another six years of the current sanctions. | | | Threat in Colombia: A former top commander of the country’s largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces, vowed a return to war almost three years after a peace deal. | | | Trump aide resigns: President Trump’s personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, abruptly stepped down after she was said to have shared details about his family and Oval Office operations. | | | Shannon Stapleton/Reuters | | | Snapshot: Above, a Popeyes in New York City last week. A viral social media debate has turned a new chicken sandwich into the chain’s fastest-ever hit, and created a logistical headache. | | | News quiz: Did you follow the headlines this week? Test yourself. | | | Modern Love: In this week’s column, a writer whose father left her mother for someone three decades younger is surprised to find how much her feelings about the woman change. | | | Late-night comedy: Most shows are in reruns, so our column is on hiatus. | | | What we’re reading: This piece in The Atlantic. Remy Tumin, of the briefings team, says: “My friend and former colleague Peter Brannen puts the fires in the Amazon into the context of humanity’s burning of fossil fuels, which summons ‘creatures long dead to return to Earth’s surface and give up the ancient energy they took to the grave.’” | | | Christopher Testani for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. | | | Read: “Shadowlands: Fear and Freedom at the Oregon Standoff,” by Anthony McCann, is a nuanced story about renegades fighting the government. It’s one of 11 new books we recommend. | | | Smarter Living: One thing you can do for the environment is to drive less. Our Climate Fwd: newsletter did some math: A 10 percent reduction in U.S. auto journeys would equal taking about 28 coal-fired power plants offline for a year. Short trips are the lowest-hanging fruit — you could usually walk, bike or take public transit. | | | In his origin story, published on Aug. 31, 1939, he is a force of nature personified. Two divers who spot him in the ocean depths are in awe of “the long strokes of his powerful arms.” | | | Under water, his hair and skin color vary. On land, he has brown hair and is Caucasian — closer to his modern look. | | | The cartoonist Art Spiegelman, writing about how fascism shaped the golden age of comics in the 1940s, noted that the volatile Sub-Mariner was “a marked contrast to the square and square-jawed vigilante do-gooders who lived in the less scruffy DC Comics neighborhood.” | | | The reason for Namor’s rage resonates today: undersea explosions set off by a scientific expedition. With the kingdom of Atlantis threatened, his mother tells him, “It is your duty to lead us into battle!” And so he has, for eight decades and counting. | | | That’s it for this briefing. We’ll be off on Monday for the Labor Day holiday but will return on Tuesday. | | Thank you
