North Korea has fired at least one projectile into the Sea of Japan, the third "missile test" in the last eight days.  US defense officials says these appear to be Pyongyang's protest to joint US-South Korean military exercises set to begin later this month - the North calls them a "violation of the spirit" of the joint statement signed by Kim and Donald Trump at their first face-to-face talks in Singapore last year.  Some Norty Korea observers believe hawks within his regime are pressuring him to "get tough" with the United States, now that Donald Trump's attention appears to be waning.  The UK, Germany, and France are calling for economic sanctions to be maintained until North Korea returns to "meaningful" talks with the US.

Donald Trump escalated the US trade war with China by announcing the US would impose a ten percent tariff on an additional $300 Billion worth of Chinese imports from 1 September.  In doing this, Trump is breaking a pledge he made in June not to impose any more tariffs on China while trade talks continue.  This effectively imposes an import tax on virtually all remaining goods not previously covered by the previous tariffs, which included US$250 Billion worth of Chinese goods.  Naturally, Trump's miscalculation caused the Dow to drop.

Rwanda reopened a border crossing next to the Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma, where a third case of Ebola was diagnosed.  The mayor of the district on the Rwandan side claimed officials wanted "to avoid unnecessary crossings" - but after an outcry on both sides they relented.  The year-long Ebola outbreak on the DR Congo side has killed more than 1,800 people and about twelve new cases are being reported every day, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Mogadishu mayor Abdirahman Omar Osman is dead, a week after being injured in a terrorist attack in Mogadushu claimed by the Islamist group al Shabaab.  The extremists targeted his office where they believed a US official was visiting, and Osman was air lifted to Qatar for treatment afterwards.  President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed declared three days of mourning for the mayor, ordering that flags be flown at half-staff.

Media groups and campaigners are defending journalist Glenn Greenwald after Brazil's Justice Minister Sergio Moro issued a decree to deport noncitizens whom the government accuse of posing a threat to Brazil.  Greenwald's investigative news website The Intercept recently ran a series of stories detailing how Moro - once a popular prosecutor with folk hero status - colluded with the far-right to bring fake charges against Leftist former President Iganzio "Lula" de Silva to keep him out of the recent presidential election.  "Nothing has happened in Brazil that would warrant such a decree," said Tania Maria de Oliveira of the Brazilian Association of Jurists for Democracy (ABJD), one of the country's largest legal groups.  But if it is allowed, the far-right government of President Jair Bolsonaro and Moro would be able to round up and deport noncitizens for the vaguest of reasons with only 48 hours to get a court to appeal it.  Greenwald is an American living in Brazil with his husband David Miranda, an opposition lawmaker.  

Police evacuated thousands of residents of the central English town of Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, after water leaked from a nearby reservoir due to a damaged dam.  Authorities warned that subsequent flooding could be life-threatening.
