Brexit?: UK MPs' maths means election, not no-deal Brexit - by Tobias Gras
Having lost the by-election
in the previously-safe Conservative Welsh seat of Brecon and
Radnorshire, the Remain coalition of Liberal Democrats, Greens and the
Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru has demonstrated that Conservative
seats – even in Leave-leaning constituencies – can be won, as the 'Boris
bounce' fails to annihilate the Brexit Party, and the weakness of the
Labour party fuels a Liberal surge.
With a majority of just one in the House of Commons, it takes only two Tory defectors to carry a motion of no confidence in Boris Johnson.
This will happen, and the prime minister knows it.
So when actively preparing for a hard Brexit on October 31st, Johnson is right to say it is less likely to happen.
Not – as he claims – since the EU will budge, but because two or more heroes or traitors, depending on one's point of view, will defect and bring down his government to prevent no-deal Brexit from happening.
The interesting question is what happens next?
In any case, a hard Halloween Brexit on October 31st seems increasingly unlikely.

Climate Change: The animals that will survive climate change - by Christine Ro
“I don’t think it will be the humans. I think we’ll go quite early
on,” says Julie Gray with a laugh. I’ve just asked Gray, a plant
molecular biologist at the University of Sheffield, which species she
thinks would be the last ones standing if we don’t take transformative action on climate change.
Even with our extraordinary capacity for innovation and adaptability, humans, it turns out, probably won’t be among the survivors.
This is partly because humans reproduce agonisingly slowly and generally just one or two at a time – as do some other favourite animals, like pandas. Organisms that can produce many offspring quickly may have a better shot at avoiding extinction.
It may seem like just a thought experiment. But discussing which species are more, or less, able to survive climate change is disturbingly concrete.
As a blockbuster biodiversity report stated recently, one in every four species currently faces extinction. Much of this vulnerability is linked to climate change, which is bringing about higher temperatures, sea level rise, more variable conditions and more extreme weather, among other impacts.

USA: Tourists Beware - US Still Cowboy Country: Mass shootings past 24 hrs kill 30 people in Texas and Ohio
Tourism USA - Still No Gun Control ? |
Mass shootings in El Paso Texas, and Dayton Ohio. If I was a tourist
deciding if I would go on vacation to America, and heard that 29 people
were killed within 24 hrs today, in addition to the non-stop gun
violence all around the country, and knowing the US has no real gun
control laws which work, I would certainly think twice, before I would go to
the US on vacation.
Statistics
are also showing that the U.S. tourismvhas suffered heavily since 2016.
Now it looks like the evidence is finally here.
The bigger picture shows the U.S.is specially losing ground on the global stage.
Arrivals to Europe and Asia-Pacific both increased by 6 percent, while
the Middle East saw a 10 percent uptick in 2018. It seems that global
travelers are looking elsewhere for their vacations.
“After registering average annual growth of 23 percent over the previous decade, Chinese travel to the US stopped in its tracks last year—perhaps in connection to trade tensions. Similarly, South Korea fell 3 percent after averaging 11 percent growth over the prior ten years. Japan also contracted; this continues the narrative of an ever important but languishing market. And Germany surprised with a steep decline in 2018, perhaps evidence of a reaction to unpopular U.S. diplomacy and policies.”
Among some of the major reasons foreign tourists are giving for not choosing the US as their tourist destination are: inadequate Public Transportation Systens, personal safety, as a result of gun violence and poor infrastructure.
