It's Thursday, October 18th.

** Trump Believes Khashoggi Dead
------------------------------------------------------------
President Trump said today that he believes the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is dead, and he expressed confidence in intelligence reports from multiple sources that strongly suggest a high-level Saudi role in Mr. Khashoggi’s assassination but stopped short of saying the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, was responsible, as the
New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, Mark Landler and Michael Schmidt report (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/18/us/politics/trump-khashoggi-dead.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=f2286f1d8c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_18_02_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-f2286f1d8c-145367789) .

** Taliban Attack
------------------------------------------------------------
One of southern Afghanistan’s most powerful anti-Taliban leaders, Gen. Abdul Raziq was assassinated today and the top U.S. commander in the country escaped unharmed when a bodyguard for the governor of southern Kandahar province opened fire following a meeting to discuss security preparations for this weekend’s parliamentary elections, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Craig Nelson and Ehsanullah Amiri reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/afghan-police-chief-killed-in-taliban-attack-1539875233?mod=hp_lead_pos3&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=f2286f1d8c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_18_02_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-f2286f1d8c-145367789) .

Between 2014 and 2017, Europe saw its largest influx of migrants in decades, with nearly 2 millions arrivals to the continent, and 3.6 million first-time asylum applicants across the 28 European Union states.

Every so often, a rock and roll gem is unearthed. Today is one of those days.

As Rolling Stone magazine reports, we are now able to learn a little bit more about The Beatles’ “White Album,” a revolutionary recording which as Rolling Stone puts it, “has been blowing minds since 1968.” On November 9th, a new “Super Deluxe Edition” of the album will be available which will include a trove of previously unreleased material. Rolling Stone today premiered the first track available from this set, a previously unheard version of the classic George Harrison song, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/beatles-while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-739393/?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=f2286f1d8c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_18_02_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-f2286f1d8c-145367789) .” Enjoy.
