| We’re covering a Trump administration plan to weaken rules on methane emissions, Kirsten Gillibrand’s withdrawal from the 2020 presidential race, and Boris Johnson’s surprise Brexit move. | |  By Chris Stanford | | | Major oil and gas companies have opposed the proposed rollback, which would eliminate federal requirements to limit methane leaks from wells, pipelines and storage facilities. After a period of review, the plan would probably be finalized early next year, analysts said. | | | Background: Carbon dioxide is the most significant greenhouse gas, but methane is a close second. It makes up nearly 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, a significant portion of which comes from the oil and gas sector. | | | The cyberattack came on the same day that President Trump called off a strike after Iran shot down an American drone. The U.S. has blamed Iran for attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf. | | | Senior officials discussed the strike in part to quell doubts within the Trump administration about whether its benefits outweighed the cost, including the loss of access to intelligence that the U.S. gained by exploiting Iran’s vulnerability. | | | Another angle: Israel has carried out a series of attacks in recent weeks to prevent Iran from equipping its Arab allies with sophisticated weapons that could challenge Israel’s defenses. Iranian officials said the Israeli attacks would not go unanswered. | | | Kirsten Gillibrand averaged less than 1 percent support in national surveys and struggled to raise money. Christopher Lee for The New York Times | | | The presidential hopefuls had until midnight to qualify for the next debate, a deadline that significantly reduced a group that once included two dozen candidates. | | | Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who had based her candidacy on issues of women’s equality, said on Wednesday that she was withdrawing from the race after failing to make the cut. | | | Ms. Gillibrand said she would endorse another candidate but had not yet picked a favorite. She added: “I think that women have a unique ability to bring people together and heal this country. I think a woman nominee would be inspiring and exciting.” | | | The details: New polls showed Joe Biden with a significant lead in the Democratic race, a contrast to a poll on Monday that showed a virtual three-way tie among the former vice president, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The director of the earlier poll said on Wednesday that its results were an outlier. | | | Protesters outside Parliament in London on Wednesday. Will Oliver/EPA, via Shutterstock | | | Prime Minister Boris Johnson was confronted today by a growing outcry after he reduced the amount of time that lawmakers have to debate and deflect his plans to take Britain out of the European Union in nine weeks. | | | His decision on Wednesday was denounced by the opposition as undemocratic and strained relations within Mr. Johnson’s Conservative Party. Queen Elizabeth II approved the move, in what was largely considered a formality. | | | What’s next: Lawmakers will now have a little over two weeks to fashion an agreement with the European Union to soften Britain’s exit, which economists have said would be chaotic without a deal. Mr. Johnson has promised a withdrawal on Oct. 31, with or without an agreement. | | | Quiz time: The current session of Britain’s Parliament is the longest since when?

Soybeans are most commonly used as cheap, high-protein animal feed. | | | The U.S.-China trade war has left China spurning U.S. crops and turning to Brazil to feed its livestock, especially pigs. That in turn has created incentives for Brazilian farmers to expand soybean fields on the changing margins of the Amazon, including setting fires to clear land. | | Thank you
