** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Tuesday, September 12th.

** Strong Words on NK
------------------------------------------------------------
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the latest UN sanctions on North Korea agreed to this week were only a very small step and nothing compared to what would have to happen to deal with the country’s nuclear program, as Reuters’ Roberta Rampton reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles/north-korea-sanctions-nothing-compared-to-what-will-have-to-happen-trump-idUSKCN1BL12S?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) .

Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s Ting Shi and David Tweed report (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-12/in-sanctioning-kim-china-and-russia-warn-u-s-no-regime-change?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) that China and Russia have warned the United States not to seek North Korean regime change.

** Syria’s Allies: Hezbollah and Russia
------------------------------------------------------------
The Lebanese Shi‘ite group Hezbollah has declared victory in the Syrian war, while Russia said government forces had driven militants from much of the country where President Bashar al-Assad’s rule seemed in danger two years ago, as Reuters’ Tom Perry and Katya Golubkova report (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-hezbollah/hezbollah-declares-syria-victory-russia-says-much-of-country-won-back-idUSKCN1BN0YL?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) .

** Record Highs
------------------------------------------------------------
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite closed at records, as investors regained confidence after skirting several dire scenarios, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Michael Wursthorn reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-stocks-extend-gains-1505182480?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) .

And, everyone is buzzing about the iPhone X, as Recode’s Dan Frommer reports on the new device and “Everything important Apple just announced (https://www.recode.net/2017/9/12/16296050/live-updates-news-apple-iphone-8-x-event-products?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) .”

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve been thinking about all the people who have been hit by Hurricane Irma and the damage done. Everyone sure can use a smile. This clip of Jerry Garcia performing “Mission In The Rain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-NFmOyu9U8&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=5896655061-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-5896655061-145367789) ” might do at least a little bit to help.
