** Las Vegas Massacre
------------------------------------------------------------
Police have identified Stephen Paddock as the gunman who opened fire on concertgoers from a hotel room in Las Vegas, killing at least 58 people and leaving 515 wounded in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, as CBS News reports (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/las-vegas-shooting-stephen-paddock-what-we-know-about-shooter/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=e1add72553-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-e1add72553-145367789) .

** Deal with NK
------------------------------------------------------------
The
New York Times’ Mokoto Rich reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/world/asia/north-korea-tillerson-nuclear-talks.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=e1add72553-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-e1add72553-145367789) that “a nuclear deal with North Korea may be Tillerson’s Mission Impossible.”

And, as Reuters’ Steve Holland reports (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles/white-house-again-rejects-talks-with-north-korea-on-nuclear-issue-idUSKCN1C72KV?il=0&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=e1add72553-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-e1add72553-145367789) , the White House today ruled out talks with North Korea except to discuss the fate of Americans held there.

** Kremlin Critic Jailed
------------------------------------------------------------
A Moscow court jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny for 20 days, less than a week before he planned to lead a major rally in President Vladimir Putin’s hometown on the Russian leader’s birthday, as Bloomberg’s Henry Meyer and Stepan Kravchenko report (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-02/kremlin-critic-navalny-jailed-ahead-of-rally-in-putin-hometown?cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_content=business&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=e1add72553-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-e1add72553-145367789) .

** Iran Sends Tanks to Border with Kurdish Region
------------------------------------------------------------
Iran deployed a dozen tanks supported by artillery at its border with Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region on Monday, a Kurdish official said, adding that the move was a dangerous escalation in the crisis triggered by Iraqi Kurdistan’s independence vote, as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-kurds-referendum-iran/iran-sends-tanks-to-border-with-iraqs-kurdish-region-kurdish-official-says-idUSKCN1C71EF?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=e1add72553-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-e1add72553-145367789) .
