The world's pandemic rebound
The global economy will end this year 2.5% larger than the end of 2019, according to new (rosier) forecasts from the IMF.
Why it matters: The overall growth rate of 6% in 2021 masks a huge range between countries.
Artificial intelligence brings dangerous new element to a nuclear game that is 75 years old
75 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, some experts believe the risk of the use of a nuclear weapon is as high now as it has been since the Cuban missile crisis.

Trump on Putin critic Alexei Navalny's poisioning: "We haven't had any proof yet"
President Trump denied there is any proof that Russia poisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny at a White House press conference on Friday, saying he would be "very angry if that is the case."
Why it matters: Trump, in his first public comments since Nalvany fell ill during a flight from Siberia to Moscow, said: "I don't know exactly what happened." The German government announced this week that the poisoning was conducted with Novichok, a chemical typically associated with Russian security services.
Trump says he'll spend "whatever it takes" of his own money to win re-election
President Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he'll spend "whatever it takes" of his own money if necessary to win in November, stressing that it's "the most important election in the history of our country."
Why it matters: The comments come after reports that Trump's campaign is having real money concerns — an unusual position for an incumbent that has worried GOP operatives. The campaign has yet to release its August fundraising, but Joe Biden and the Democrats say they raised a record-breaking $364.5 million last month.
