** U.S. and Britain Seek Yemen Cease-fire
------------------------------------------------------------
Diplomatic pressure from the United States and Britain, Saudi Arabia’s biggest arms suppliers, abruptly intensified for a cease-fire in the Yemen war, as the
New York Times’ Gardiner Harris and Rick Gladstone report (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/31/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-yemen-cease-fire.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=8f144ee7a1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_31_04_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-8f144ee7a1-145367789) .

** U.S. Sanctions on Russia
------------------------------------------------------------
Russia’s drive to fill state coffers to give itself a $200 billion buffer against threats like new U.S. sanctions is prudent, analysts say, but will come at the expense of economic growth, as Reuters’ Darya Korsunskaya reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-economy-budget-analysis/russia-wary-of-u-s-sanctions-puts-saving-before-growth-idUSKCN1N51B9?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=8f144ee7a1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_31_04_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-8f144ee7a1-145367789) .

The automation of processes and procedures with cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), has the potential to fundamentally change the global economy. As China looks to sustain economic growth, how it harnesses automation will be crucial to its long-term economic competitiveness.

Everyone has their favorite Halloween song(s), and we can debate the best of them. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” certainly would top most lists. Then there’s Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You,” and CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising” to name a few others.

But hands down, my all-time favorite Halloween song is the incomparable Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1PFz56XWQI&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=8f144ee7a1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_31_04_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-8f144ee7a1-145367789) .”
