LIVERPOOL STROLL:

SQUIRREL SAVIOR?
A puppet named Giant walks past the dockside in central Liverpool, England, on Sunday during a production by French street theater company Royal de Luxe titled “Liverpool’s Dream.”
Oh, you think you’re the only one ‘tired from the hectic events’?
To be fair, 95% of postal mail is worth less than a good llama pic
If you save the animal after you hit it, it’s still kind of a wash at best
A jogger running through the Dutch countryside discovered a lion cub in a field. Police said the cub was found Sunday in a cage dumped near Tienhoven. They have appealed for help in tracing the animal’s owner, while the cub, a male of about 5 months, is being cared for by a foundation that looks after big cats. The foundation said on Facebook that the cub “is very tired from the hectic events” and is in quarantine. (AP)
Residents of a neighborhood near Charleston, W.Va., are complaining that someone has been stealing their mail and replacing it with laminated photos of llamas, WCHS-TV reported Monday. Resident Staci Tinney said she was told of suspicious persons at the park-and-ride flashing llama photos and claiming to be passing out wedding invitations. “We don’t know anyone who knows a llama personally,” Tinney said. (EXPRESS)
A motionless squirrel apparently stunned by a passing car was revived by the driver, who performed chest compressions. Police in Brooklyn Park, Minn., thought the man might be doing CPR. In video posted to Facebook, the man tells officers he swerved to avoid the animal and didn’t think he struck it. The man flips the squirrel onto its belly and as he strokes its back, the animal starts to come around. The squirrel eventually darts away. (AP)

Private island lists for $15M VIRGINIA An island getaway sounds great right about now. Who among us hasn’t thought about escaping from the daily grind and the endless news cycle to a peaceful oasis? Well, now is your chance. And you don’t even have to get on a plane. But you do need a fat bank account. Chopawamsic, an island in the Potomac River about 300 yards from Marine Corps Base Quantico, has come on the market for the first time in 27 years. The 13-acre property, which is only accessible by boat, is listed at $15 million. There are six structures on the island, including a boathouse and tool shed, but none are inhabitable. There is also a swimming pool. Electricity is available through an underwater cable. Water comes from a well. Private islands on the Potomac do not often come up for sale. However, this is at least the second in less than two years. A chain of three islands farther up

Isle on the Potomac River is 13 acres, but it’s not move-in ready
the river in Washington County, Md., was put up for sale for $174,900 last year. Some say that Chopawamsic, sometimes known as Scott’s Island, was first inhabited in 1649. A 1989 article in The Washington Post claims that Giles Brent first settled there with his wife, a Native American princess. One of the early owners was reportedly the Rev. Alexander Scott of the Church of Overwharten in the 1700s. The National Geographic Society
supposedly owned the island at one point. Alexander Graham Bell and Theodore Roosevelt reportedly visited it. The exclusive Metropolitan Club of Washington is said to have once had a clubhouse there. Few of these claims can be verified. Navy physician Wesley Fry’s ownership of the island is one that can be confirmed. He bought the island in 1958 for $14,000 and lived there with his wife, Erma, for 21 years. According to a 1979 article
in The Post, Fry spent $150,000 renovating the structures on the island and clearing the land. He uncovered arrowheads and other relics of Native Americans who had inhabited the island. The Frys sold the island in 1979 for $500,000 to a British firm that was going to turn it into a religious retreat. The island went back on the market in 1989 for $1.1 million. The current sellers bought the island in 1991 for $375,000. KATHY ORTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Kaine goes on the offensive VIRGINIA For months, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine barely acknowledged his opponent, Corey Stewart, as the provocative Republican repeatedly called him “weak” and “ineffective” while falsely accusing the moderate Democrat of being part of the far-left antifa movement. But in the wake of Stewart’s darker implication — also without evidence — that Kaine has been accused of sexual harassment, the usually upbeat ex-Virginia governor is punching back. A Kaine campaign television ad that began airing Monday calls Stewart, chair of the Prince William County’s board of supervisors, “dangerous,” while highlighting the fact that he skipped a vote last December for emergency funding for opioid prevention in the county to travel to Alabama to help Republican Roy Moore in his failed Senate bid. “That’s who Corey Stewart helped instead of voting on opioid prevention,” Maggie Hansford — a Democrat who plans to run for Prince William County

supervisor in Brentsville next year — said in the commercial, calling Moore an “accused child predator” in reference to allegations of sexual misconduct toward teenage girls during the 1970s. Titled “Eliminate,” the commercial — airing in the Richmond region, Roanoke and Norfolk — is Kaine’s first negative
ad in the race, where most polls show him up by nearly 20 points with less than four weeks to go before the Nov. 6 election. Through the ad, the Kaine campaign is seeking to further erode Stewart’s support among moderate Republicans in hopes of getting those voters to either sit out the election or vote for

Kaine and other Democrats running in Virginia’s hotly contested House seats. The ad underscores Kaine’s efforts to deal with the opioid crisis through a recently passed bipartisan bill he sponsored that, among other things, would boost federal funding for prevention, said campaign spokesman Ian Sams. The bill, which recently passed the Senate by a vote of 991, is awaiting Trump’s signature. “If [Stewart] would prioritize supporting someone like Roy Moore over tackling the opioid epidemic in his own county, voters can imagine how dangerous he would be for Virginia as a U.S. Senator,” Sams said. To Stewart, the ad shows the Kaine campaign is worried that he is gaining ground on the senator amid a Republican backlash over the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh that nearly toppled his Supreme Court nomination. “You don’t attack your opponent unless you feel threatened by him,” Stewart said. “If he felt he was way ahead, the last thing you want to do is to bring attention to the race and bring attention to your opponent.” ANTONIO OLIVO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. ends tax on feminine hygiene items Mayor Muriel Bowser said D.C. will no longer charge sales tax on feminine hygiene products, WTOP reported. Bowser said Friday that the sales tax exemption went into effect Oct. 1 for items including tampons, sanitary napkins, menstrual cups and comparable products. She said in a tweet that day that “feminine hygiene is a necessity, not a luxury.” Consumer retail experts say women often pay more than men for items such as shampoo, razors and other hygiene products, a disparity known as the “pink tax.” (AP)

DINNER EVENT
VIRGINIA Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., is airing a TV ad that criticizes Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s positions on taxes, health care and “sanctuary cities� — and her campaign calls two out of the three untrue. Locked in a tight race, both candidates and their allies are spending heavily on TV ads in the central Virginia district, which includes rural areas as well as parts of Richmond and its suburbs. Brat and Republican-aligned interest groups spent $363,275 on commercials last week alone, according to the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project. Spanberger and her allies spent $408,728 over the same period, including an ad that features the mother of a diabetic son who

Spanberger
criticizes Brat for voting against protections for people with preexisting medical conditions. The Brat ad says Spanberger would eliminate the tax cuts passed under President Trump, support sanctuary cities and hike health care spending by $32 trillion, so much that it would “bankrupt Medicare as we know it.� Spanberger, a former CIA officer, has been on the record opposing Trump’s tax cuts, but says she is opposed to sanctuary cities, and supports a different health care plan that differs from the one Brat describes. Spanberger says she wants “Medicare X,� a plan proposed by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would
offer Medicare as an option on the health exchanges for non-elderly Americans. They could buy into a publicly provided insurance plan using the network of Medicare providers, at similar rates. This is different than the “Medicare for All� plan advanced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., which is often referred to as “single payer.� It would make Medicare the basis for all health care; some estimates put the cost at $32 trillion. Brat and Spanberger are in a close contest to represent a district that has been a longtime GOP stronghold, but now is widely seen as within reach of Democrats in the Trump era. Brat won the seat four years ago after pulling off a shocking primary upset over Rep. Eric Cantor, then the House majority leader. The Cook Political Report classifies the race as a toss-up.

MoCo mulls raises for some workers Bill is aimed at keeping trash pickup reliable while giving pay hikes MONTGOMERY COUNTY The Montgomery County Council is considering a labor-unionbacked bill that would guarantee pay increases for workers who haul trash, recycling and yard waste in exchange for assurances no strikes or lockouts would disrupt service to county residents. The bill, sponsored by council members Marc Elrich, D-At Large, and Tom Hucker,D-Silver Spring, is championed by the Laborers’ International Union of North America, which represents about two-thirds of the private sanitation workers the county uses for trash pickup. Elrich, who is the Democratic
nominee for county executive, and Hucker, who is seeking re-election, were endorsed by LIUNA. Hucker said the measure was necessary to avoid disruptions similar to those that occurred in 2013 and 2014, when strikes left parts of the county without trash service for weeks. Council member Nancy Floreen, I-At Large, who is running for county executive against Elrich and Republican Robin Ficker, called the legislation “completely politically motivated.” “Basically the county would be approving an automatic wage increase for workers,” she said. “Those contracts are supposed to be competitive. We’re supposed to be getting the lowest price for the best service.” JENNIFER BARRIOS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A cashless conundrum Ditching cash payment on buses could speed things up but leave some riders in the lurch ANSWER LINE
It’s a lot easier to keep railcars warm than cool
ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
TRANSPORTATION On an X9 bus headed toward Metro Center, riders quickly tapped their SmarTrip cards as they got on board. But at one stop, the line paused as a man slid dollar bills into the cash feeder. The brief slowdown illustrated why Metro planners are considering barring cash on as many as 13 express bus routes, forcing the 12 percent of bus riders who use bills and change to switch to SmarTrip cards. Critics worry the idea, headed for a November vote by Metro’s board, will make it harder for the poor, homeless and disabled to take express buses — relegating them to a sort of second-class status on the slower local buses that would continue to take cash. Metro, reflecting a national trend, saw weekday bus ridership drop by 8 percent last year. Part of the reason is that buses tend to crawl along, Metro senior transportation economist Catherine Vanderwaart noted at a Sept. 17 public hearing. Consider, Vanderwaart said, that tapping a card on the reader takes two to four seconds, while feeding in money takes 10 to 20 seconds. Metro estimates a quarter of the time that buses are in operation is spent boarding passengers. Saving a few seconds for one out of every eight riders would help keep buses on schedule. The idea, which is being tried on the 79 route from Archives to Silver Spring, isn’t a big deal if you’re well-off enough to have a bank account and internet service or a smartphone. But Denise Rush, vice chair of Metro’s accessibility committee, raised the example of a retired

woman who lives on a fixed income and doesn’t have the money to get to church. Maybe a neighbor will give her a couple of dollars to go worship, she said. “But she can’t use it on the bus, and she doesn’t even know where to get a smart card.” Instead of shuffling from her porch to the bus stop in front of her house, Rush said, she’ll have to trek somewhere to get a card before she can get on the bus. Metro staff said they chose the proposed cashless routes — the 16Y, 37, 39, 59, A9, G9, J4, K9, S9, X9, REX and Metroway routes — in part because they have Metro stations or stores along the way that sell cards. But Philip Posner, chairman of Metro’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, notes that while there are places to buy cards on the routes under consideration, they also have deserts where it would be difficult to buy a card. D.C. Council member David
Trial period Metro is studying the impact of the Route 79 cashless bus pilot project on seniors and those with disabilities before the Metro board decides whether to make the route permanently cashless, Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly said. The board is also scheduled to decide at an upcoming meeting whether to give Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld discretion to make other routes cashless. (EXPRESS)
Grosso, I-At Large, who has introduced a bill requiring restaurants to take cash, is also concerned about Metro’s idea. “For many of our most vulnerable residents this policy will lengthen their commutes because it will be difficult and potentially expensive to find and use a SmarTrip machine unless they happen to live, work or go to school near a Metrorail station
Baltimore police: Death of 5-month-old baby girl Sunday ruled a homicide
(or particular CVS stores),” he wrote to Metro board chairman Jack Evans in June. Other transit systems are considering going cashless as well, Vanderwaart said at the public hearing. New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority, for instance, will implement a new fare system next year that lets riders tap a smart card, mobile phone or debit card on a scanner. As part of that change, it is also considering going cashless. Adam Rocap, deputy director of Miriam’s Kitchen, which provides services for the homeless, is worried about the proposal too. He said cashless routes would make it harder for the homeless, who rely on public transportation, to try to find jobs, apply for benefits or get to the doctor. When you live on the streets, he said, things like import a nt do c u ments a nd fa re cards are often lost or stolen. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)
Q. All summer, riders vented about having to sweat through their commute in hot cars. Now that the weather will soon be getting cooler, we wondered: Does Metro gets as many complaints about cars being too cold as too hot? A. Apparently, it’s far easier to keep the cars warm than cool. In 2017, Metro received 679 reports of hot cars and 59 reports of cold cars, said Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly. “Keep in mind that in the summer, like your car, the sun continues to heat up the railcar from the outside when above ground. In addition, the cold air escapes and excessively hot air comes in every time the doors open, making it feel warmer and causing the HVAC system to work much harder to keep the railcars cool. The railcar doors represent about a quarter of the side of the car, so imagine opening 25 percent of the surface area of your house every couple of minutes,” she said. “In the winter, the sun outside actually warms the railcars, putting less stress on the heating system. Most people are already wearing coats or jackets and tend to immediately feel warmer in winter when they step out of the cold into an enclosed railcar,” Ly said. KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

Earth’s ‘smoke alarm’ U.N. report on global warming carries a dire warning and calls for unprecedented action
Nobel awarded for research on climate, growth
GETTY IMAGES
CLIMATE The world stands on the brink of failure when it comes to holding global warming to moderate levels, and nations will need to take “unprecedented” actions to cut their carbon emissions over the next decade, according to a landmark report by the globe’s top scientific body studying climate change. With global emissions showing few signs of slowing and the United States — the world’s second-largest emitter of carbon dioxide — rolling back a suite of Obama-era climate measures, the prospects for meeting the most ambitious goals of the 2015 Paris agreement look increasingly slim. To avoid racing past warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) over preindustrial levels would require a “rapid and far reaching” transformation of human civilization at a magnitude that has simply never happened before, the group found. “There is no documented historic precedent” for the sweeping change to energy, transportation and other systems required to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, wrote in a report requested as part of the 2015 Paris climate agreement. At the same time, however, the report is being received with hope in some quarters because it affirms that 1.5 Celsius is still possible — if emissions stopped today, for instance, the planet would not reach that temperature. It is also likely to galvanize even stronger climate action by focusing on 1.5 C, rather than 2 degrees, as a target that the world cannot
A U.N. climate report finds that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius instead of 2 could mean 4 inches less sea level rise, far fewer heat waves and droughts, no irreversible ice shelf melting and the survival of most coral reefs.
afford to miss. Nonetheless, the transformation described in the document raises inevitable questions about its feasibility. Most strikingly, the document says the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions, which currently amount to more than 40 billion tons per year, would have to be on an extremely steep downward path by 2030 to either hold the globe entirely below 1.5 degrees Celsius, or allow only a brief “overshoot” in temperatures. “It’s like a deafening, piercing smoke alarm going off in the kitchen. We have to put out the fire,” said Erik Solheim, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme. He added that the need to either stop emissions entirely by 2050 or find some way of removing as much carbon dioxide from the air as we put there “means net zero must be the new global mantra.” The radical transformation also would mean that, in a world
Averting extreme heat Meeting the tougher-to-reach goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius “could result in around 420 million fewer people being frequently exposed to extreme heat waves, and about 65 million fewer people being exposed to exceptional heat waves,” the IPCC’s report said. The deadly heat waves that hit India and Pakistan in 2015 will become practically yearly events if the world warms by a full 2 degrees Celsius, the report said. (AP)
projected to have over 2 billion more people by 2050, large swaths of land used to produce food would instead have to be converted to growing trees that store carbon and crops designated for energy use. The document finds that instabilities in Antarctica and Greenland, which could usher in sea level rise measured in feet rather than inches, “could be

triggered around 1.5°C to 2°C of global warming.” Moreover, 70 to 90 percent of tropical coral reefs are expected to vanish at 1.5 C, the report finds. At 2 degrees, that number grows to more than 99 percent. The bottom line, the report found, is that the world is woefully off target. Current promises made as part of the Paris climate agreement would lead to around 3 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century, and the Trump administration recently released an analysis assuming about 4 degrees Celsius by 2100 if the world takes no action. The IPCC is considered the definitive source on the state of climate science, but it also tends to be conservative in its conclusions. That’s because it is driven by a consensus-finding process, and its results are the product of not only science, but negotiation with governments over its precise language.

ECONOMICS Two American economists were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences Monday for their work on the relationship of climate change and technological innovation to economics. William Nordhaus, 77, a longtime professor of economics at Yale University, and Paul Romer, 62, above, a former senior vice president of the World Bank who is now an economics professor at New York University, will share the $1 million prize. Although the men worked independently, the Central Bank of Sweden, which oversees the prize, recognized them for work that “broadened the scope of economic analysis” through modeling methods to forecast economic processes based on theory and data — that are used to study long-term change and shape policy. Nordhaus, who has been called “the father of climate change economics,” developed models that suggest how governments can combat global warming. One key step he has endorsed is a universal tax on carbon. Versions of a carbon tax have been used in Europe but have yet to be adopted in the U.S. Romer has produced research that shows how governments can advance innovation. At a news conference Monday, Romer said his research has left him optimistic that society can find a solution to the warming of the planet. (TWP/AP)

Trump: Judge was ‘tortured’ President says calls to impeach Kavanaugh insult American public
50%
Cuomo: Limo shouldn’t have been on road
CHIP SOMODEVILLA (GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS President Trump said Monday that it was “an insult to the American public” for Democrats to consider impeaching Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and predicted that Republicans would benefit at the polls following the chaotic confirmation process. As he departed the White House, Trump lauded Kavanaugh as a “brilliant jurist” and blamed Democrats for the focus on decades-old allegations of sexual misconduct that dominated debate in the weeks before the nominee’s confirmation Saturday. “The way they really tortured him and his family, I thought it was a disgrace,” Trump said. “A brilliant jurist, a man that did nothing wrong, a man that was caught up in a hoax that was set up by the Democrats using the Democrats’ lawyers, and now they want to impeach him.” Trump hosted a White House ceremony for Kavanaugh that ended after Express’ deadline on Monday night. Kavanaugh has already been sworn in, taking both of his oaths — one is constitutional, the other judicial — Saturday night. While liberal activists have called for impeaching Kavanaugh, many Democratic lawmakers have tried to tamp down such talk in recent days. “I think that’s premature,”
President Trump hosted a ceremonial swearing-in Monday for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, left.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I think, frankly, we are just less than a month away from an election. Folks who feel very strongly one way or the other about the issues in front of us should get out and vote and participate.” Even before the allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, some Democrats questioned Kavanaugh’s truthfulness during his initial Senate confirmation hearing. “Untruthful testimony, under oath and on the record,” Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., tweeted. More recently, Democrats have cast doubt on Kavanaugh’s
account of his drinking while a teenager, an issue that came up repeatedly during a Senate hearing that included testimony from Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who accused him of drunkenly assaulting her while they were in high school. Democrats have said that an FBI investigation into the allegations that Trump ordered was too limited in scope to be useful. Trump and Senate Republican leaders agreed to the FBI probe at the request of Republican senators whose support for Kavanaugh appeared to be wavering. Trump predicted that Democrats would pay a price in the midterm elections.
“I think you’re going to see a lot of things happen on November 6th that would not have happened before,” he said. “The American public has seen this charade.” “I think a lot of Democrats are going to vote Republican,” Trump added. “The main base of the Democrats have shifted so far left that we’ll end up being Venezuela. This country would end up being Venezuela.” Speaking later Monday at the National Press Club, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said that based on his own travels over the past several days, he believes the Republican base “is very much activated” as a result of the Kavanaugh fight.

BATTLEGROUND DISTRICTS
The percentage of likely voters who prefer the Democratic candidate in 69 congressional districts seen as competitive for the November midterm election, compared with 46 percent who say they prefer the Republican, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll released Monday. In 2016, these same districts favored Republican candidates over Democratic ones by 15 percentage points, 56 percent to 41 percent. The Republicans are trying to hold on to a majority in the House, where the Democrats need a net gain of 23 seats to take control.

NEW YORK The supersized limousine that crashed and killed 20 people in upstate New York failed a safety inspection last month, and the driver wasn’t licensed, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday. The state moved to shut down the owner, Prestige Limousine, as state and federal authorities investigated the cause of Saturday’s wreck in Schoharie. As victims’ relatives tried to come to grips with the tragedy that happened as a group of friends and family were on their way to a 30th birthday celebration, authorities had yet to say how fast the limo was going, whether its occupants wore seat belts or what caused the vehicle to run a stop sign. Investigators were conducting autopsies, including on the driver, to see if drugs or alcohol were factors, and the National Transportation Safety Board was also looking into whether the limo had any problems. But officials already saw some red flags, Cuomo said: The driver didn’t have the necessary commercial license, the limo had been cut apart and lengthened in a way that violated federal law, and the vehicle failed a state inspection that examined the chassis, suspension and brakes. The limousine ran a stop sign at an intersection at the bottom of a hill and slammed into an unoccupied SUV, killing two pedestrians and all 18 people inside the limousine.

nation+world Storm could become major hurricane before its Wednesday landfall WEATHER Hurricane Michael gained new strength Monday and is expected to keep growing stronger ahead of an expected midweek strike on Florida’s Panhandle, forecasters said. Michael could become a major hurricane with winds topping 111 mph by tonight before the anticipated landfall Wednesday on the Panhandle or Big Bend, according to the National Hurricane Center. Since the storm will spend two to three days over the Gulf of Mexico, which has very warm
water temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions, “there is a real possibility that Michael will strengthen to a major hurricane before landfall,” Robbie Berg, a hurricane specialist at the Miami-based storm forecasting hub, wrote in an advisory. Parts of Florida’s curvy Big Bend could see up to 12 feet of storm surge, while Michael could dump up to a foot of rain over some Panhandle communities as it moves inland, forecasters said. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for residents of barrier islands, mobile homes and low-lying coastal areas in Gulf, Wakulla and Bay counties.

With Bolsonaro, Brazil embraces the far right
PORTAL
Facebook launches new AI camera
BRAZIL Brazilians appear on the cusp of handing the presidency to a brash former army captain who has reminisced fondly about dictatorship, pledged to jail corrupt politicians and promised an all-out war on drugs and crime. Far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro just missed outright victory in Sunday’s vote, finishing in first place with 46 percent. He will face former Sao Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party in an Oct. 28 runoff. Bolsonaro only needs a few more points to secure victory, but Haddad’s supporters vowed Monday to launch a tough fight to make up ground after he finished a distant second in the first round, with 29 percent. In addition, Bolsonaro’s Social and Liberal Party took a whopping 52 seats in the lower house of Congress — up from just one in the last election — making it the second-largest party after the Workers’ Party, with 56. The election was a seismic shift for this nation of more than 200 million people, where the left has won the past four elections, but deep divisions have opened in the wake of a massive corruption scandal and the impeachment of a president. Brazil’s move fits into a global

trend among voters — in the United States and Europe, among other places — who are choosing anti-establishment and often farright populist candidates who target minorities and promise a return to “traditional values.” Bolsonaro, whose campaign slogan was “Brazil above all, God above everyone,” has pushed a nostalgic narrative that he can bring back better times. Part of that includes likely attempts to roll back the rights of gays and other minorities, and a hard line on issues like equal pay for women. To fight the country’s rampant crime, he has promised to give police a free hand to shoot first and ask questions later,
arguing that criminals will be the ones who are scared under his administration. For voters, Bolsonaro and Haddad represent starkly different visions for the future. Bolsonaro has painted a nation in collapse, where drug traffickers and politicians steal with equal impunity, and moral rot has set in. Meanwhile, Haddad has portrayed an unequal society hijacked by an elite that can’t bear to see the lives of poor people improve. He has promised to fight long-standing inequalities, scrap a major labor reform passed last year and invest more in education. PETER PRENGAMAN, SARAH

Erdogan chides Saudis over missing writer ISTANBUL Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan demanded Monday that Saudi Arabia prove that journalist Jamal Khashoggi left the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on his own, as Saudi officials have repeatedly asserted after he disappeared last week while inside the mission. Erdogan’s comments were his most direct suggestion yet of potential Saudi culpability in Khashoggi’s disappearance. They came after other Turkish officials have said they believe Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi leadership and a contributor to The Washington Post’s Global Opinions section, was killed by Saudi agents inside the consulate. “Don’t you have cameras and other things?” Erdogan said. “You have to prove it.” Khashoggi, 59, who has lived in self-imposed exile in the United States since 2017, failed to emerge following a visit to the Saudi Consulate on Oct. 2. Turkey’s state-run news agency, quoting police, has said 15 Saudi nationals arrived in Istanbul on board two planes and were inside the consulate building when Khashoggi disappeared. But Turkey has yet to make any evidence public. The White House, which has cultivated close ties with Saudi Arabia and, in particular, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has made no public comment about the disappearance.

night, they would still be in first place in the NFC East and the lone team in the division without a losing record. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)
New York Giants (1-4)
Philadelphia Eagles (2-3)
Dallas Cowboys (2-3)
The state of the team: Signing left tackle Nate Solder and drafting running back Saquon Barkley was supposed to fix major offensive deficiencies, but the Giants rank 28th in rushing (75.6 yards per game), 24th in scoring (20.8 points per game) and only three QBs have been sacked more than Eli Manning.
The state of the team: The reigning Super Bowl champs don’t look anything like they did last year. After having a plus-11 turnover margin and the third best rushing attack in the league in 2017, the Eagles are a minus-4 and rank 16th in rushing yards per game (110.8).
The state of the team: The Cowboys have the leading rusher in the NFL in Ezekiel Elliott (480 yards) and their defense hasn’t allowed more than 24 points in a game, but they have struggled to produce big plays and rank 30th in the league in scoring (16.6 points per game).
The drama: After Sunday’s 33-31 loss to the Panthers, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said he has “no regrets” about comments he made in an ESPN interview in which he said he didn’t know if Manning was the main source for the offensive woes and that the team lacked energy and heart.
The drama: After Sunday’s 23-21 loss to the Vikings, running back Jay Ajayi questioned the Eagles’ play-calling. Philadelphia had just five running plays in the first half. “With the offensive line we have on this team, running the ball like that, that doesn’t make sense to me,” said Ajayi, who was placed on injured reserve Monday with a torn ACL.
The drama: In Dallas, the drama usually involves owner Jerry Jones. After Sunday night’s 19-16 loss to the Texans, Jones questioned coach Jason Garrett’s decision to punt on fourth-and-1 from the Texans’ 42-yard line in overtime. “It’s time for risks at that particular time,” Jones told reporters.
A disturbing stat: The silver lining in Sunday’s loss: The Giants scored at least 30 points for the first time in 36 games, ending the NFL’s longest streak. The last time they had reached that mark was in a 35-30 loss to the Eagles on Jan. 3, 2016.
A disturbing stat: The Eagles are the eighth defending Super Bowl champion to start a season 2-3, The Washington Post reported. Only one of the previous seven, the 1996 Cowboys, went on to reach the playoffs.
A disturbing stat: After five games, the Cowboys’ leading receiver is Cole Beasley with 193 3 yards. Entering Monday, that ranked 78th in thee NFL, behind even 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk (197 yards). The Rams have three receivers who o have more than twice Beasley’s total.
A look ahead: Aside from the Giants, there are five other 1-4 teams and New York has three of them (Falcons, 49ers, Colts) left on its schedule.
A look ahead: None of the Eagles’ next four opponents (Giants, Panthers, Jaguars, Cowboys) rank in the top 10 in scoring offense.
A look ahead: Dallas’ next four opponents (Jaguars, Redskins, Titans, Eagles) entered Monday ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense.
Suns fire GM Ryan McDonough with start to season about a week away
In his weekly online chat, Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell explained why he gives the Cy Young nod to the Mets’ Jacob deGrom (10-9, 1.70 ERA. 269 Ks) over the Nationals’ Max Scherzer (18-7, 2.53 ERA, 300 Ks). Boswell wrote: Everybody looks at ERA, but it’s also interesting to ask, “How did deGrom and Scherzer arrive at those ERAs?” The central reason they are different is because deGrom gave up only 10 homers all season, while Scherzer gave up 23. This year, the MLB average was 1.2 HRs per 9 innings. Scherzer was pretty good, allowing 0.9 HRs per 9 innings. But deGrom was stellar, with an NL-leading 0.4 HRs per 9 innings. Scherzer gave up 66 runs this year — deGrom only 48. What created that 18-run gap? Those 13 extra home runs Scherzer allowed. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

guard James Harden, according to NBA.com advanced statistics. This year, as the Wizards’ style of play trends faster, that number should decline. Besides utilizing Wall’s speed with the ball, coach Scott Brooks wants to unleash Wall on the fast break with others leading the charge. But Wall’s ballhandling role won’t greatly diminish. Brooks just wants the ball to move in a way that utilizes more than one predominant passer. “He makes so many good plays for us,” Brooks said of Wall, “but if we want to continue to evolve as a team and get everybody to touch the ball, he’s going to have to learn a few new tricks.” CANDACE BUCKNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

George Springer homered twice as Houston ended Cleveland’s season.
Astros cruise past Indians to ALCS
ASTROS 11, INDIANS 3 The Houston Astros advanced to the AL Championship Series for the second straight year, completing a division-round sweep of Cleveland on Monday with an 11-3 win in Game 3. The visiting Astros were helped by two key throwing errors from Indians reliever Trevor Bauer. Marwin Gonzalez hit a two-run double off Bauer on a shoulder-high pitch as the Astros scored three runs in the seventh inning and closed a series that figured to be much more competitive. George Springer homered twice, Carlos Correa hit a threerun homer for his first hit of the postseason and Houston’s bullpen combined for three scoreless innings as the defending champion Astros moved closer to reaching their second straight World Series.
Springer now has a franchiserecord 10 career postseason home runs for Houston. The Astros have a homer in 12 straight playoff games, matching the AL record set by Baltimore (1983, 1997). After hitting just three home runs in the final 1½ months of the regular season, Springer went deep three times against Cleveland. For the Indians, another postseason ended earlier than planned. Cleveland was beaten in the first round for the second year in a row, and baseball’s longest World Series championship drought will reach a 71st anniversary. The Indians, who have lost six straight playoff games, hit just .144 in the series and were swept for the first time since the 1954 World Series. The Astros will now wait for the Boston-New York winner for a shot to play for another championship. TOM WITHERS (AP)

ROCKIES STRUGGLE AT THE PLATE
The number of innings in which the Rockies scored at least one run out of 28 innings played in their NLDS series against the Brewers. Milwaukee beat Colorado 6-0 on Sunday, completing a sweep and shutting out the Rockies for a second straight game. The only two runs the Rockies scored in the series came in the ninth inning of Game 1 when they rallied to force extra innings, only to lose 3-2 in the 10th inning. Colorado entered the NLDS having won 10 of its previous 12 games. (EXPRESS) Dodgers-Braves, Red Sox-Yankees ended after Express’ deadline

STUDIES SHOW ...
If the shoes fit, buy them
An exercise upside to screen time
Picking the right running footwear is as simple as trusting your sense of feel RUNNING Choosing the right running shoe has never been easy. There are so many shoe companies and so many models, each touting various high-tech features. How is a buyer supposed to make the smartest choice? With cross-country in full swing and the year’s most popular marathons and half-marathons just weeks away, lots of runners are looking for new footwear. Fortunately, many experts believe shoe-buying is getting simpler. You’ll probably fare best by trusting your sense of feel. A few years ago, “minimalist shoes,” designed to mimic barefoot running, were all the rage, but the results weren’t. “To borrow from Winston Churchill: Never has so much damage been done to so many by such little shoes,” says D.C. podiatrist Stephen Pribut. Many runners suffered forefoot pains and sometimes stress fractures because of the lack of cushioning. Others complained of calf strains and Achilles tendinitis.
A new approach among shoe companies followed. They brought back thick cushioning but abandoned bulky devices intended to increase motion control. “Many manufacturers stripped unnecessary extra bits out of their shoes, making them lighter and simpler,” notes Jeff Dengate, runner-in-chief at Runner’s World magazine. Of course, super-cushioning, like a lack of cushioning, can’t eliminate all injuries. Nor can a shoe based on the height of your arches. This is determined by the “wet test,” which involves stepping into a pan of water and then onto a sheet of paper to create a footprint. If you have flat feet, your feet are assumed to “overpronate,” or roll inward, and you’re supposed to buy rigid shoes. If you have high arches, you’re supposed to buy a shoe with cushioning and support. However, when Marine Corps medical staff conducted a trial of this method, they concluded that using the wet test to select shoes “had little influence on injuries.”
Tips for shoe shopping Here are some essential shoe-selection tips from the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine and experts. A.B. Buy at a store. The in-store fitting process is central to a running shoe purchase. Try on shoes in the late afternoon or early evening, because your feet swell during the day. Wear the same wicking socks you wear while running. Pay careful attention to both feet: They’re slightly different sizes, move differently and receive different amounts of force. Avoid shoes that are too short. Select a pair with a finger’s width of space between your toes and the front of the shoes. Jog around in the store or on a nearby sidewalk. You can’t judge running shoes by walking. Buy the simplest, least gimmicky shoe that feels good. That means avoiding excessive weight and unnecessary doodads.
DC Triathlon Club hosts free Ironman panel 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Tenley-Friendship Library
In his book “Biomechanics of Sport Shoes,” researcher Benno Nigg explains that pronation is the way humans are designed to walk and run. Excessive, harmful overpronation is rare, Nigg says. A 2014 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine confirmed this by following 927 novice runners for a year and finding that the pronators had fewer injuries than non-pronators. So how should runners buy shoes? Try on lots of them, including brands and models you haven’t considered. Nigg says the best running shoes are the ones that feel best. “Comfort is hard to quantify,” he says, “but everyone knows it when they feel it.” Jonathan Beverly, shoe tester at Running Times magazine, puts it this way: “With the right shoes, you land where you’re supposed to land, the shoes bend where they’re supposed to bend, the cushioning feels good without slowing your stride, the support is neither too much nor too little, and you push off smoothly and strongly.” AMBY BURFOOT (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
A new study has something good to say about screens and fitness. A team from the University of Ottawa measured the post-exercise food intake and movement patterns of teens who exercised while watching TV, listening to music or receiving no other stimuli. The findings were published in the journal Appetite. Researchers asked 24 male teens to do a slow jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes while watching the Netflix show of their choice, listening to the music of their choice or receiving no stimuli. Researchers found that the teens didn’t eat more or move less after exercising in order to compensate for their workout. They also rated the TV and music workouts as significantly more enjoyable than the no-stimuli workout, indicating that they might be more likely to repeat them in the future. A.B. (TWP)

Her lottery habit is my misfortune Q. My wife and her family members buy lottery tickets. She says it’s just fun but I hate this habit, and I think it just throws money into the trash. She grew up this way and although she is mostly a responsible spender in other ways, every week when numbers are picked I find myself getting angry. It’s been years of this and I haven’t gotten any less resentful. It doesn’t sound like she’s counting on some Retire-by-Lotto investment strategy, and I’d guess — since she’s responsible generally — that this could reasonably live within your entertainment budget. Can you not reframe this as money spent for her enjoyment? People regularly lay down cash on things their spouses could reasonably argue are throwing it into the trash — manicures, sports

of on life support. This person was wonderful to me when I was going through a rough patch, but in the past year or so she has changed. She’s gotten very judgmental and negative, quick to anger and jealousy. She spends a lot of time on social media and things I consider frivolous about shopping and makeup. Maybe this friendship has run its course? It’s hard to know. Well, I’d advise you to have The Awkward Conversation. No, you don’t have to do a wholesale condemnation of her very being, but you can think about the things she’s said that have upset you the most, and bring up that pattern to her in a respectful way, with an extra helping of “I” statements. It’s possible that her increased negativity is indicative of depression or anxiety, so a good friendship is owed at least an attempt to bring up how things are going off track. You could use an inthe-moment approach, too: “You know, it kind of bothers me that you said that. I get pretty hurt when I hear those types of judgments and it doesn’t seem like the Sarah I know. Are things OK?” How receptive she is will tell you whether the plug should be pulled. Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

guages — both English. The main character in “The Hate U Give,” played by Amandla Stenberg, lives in an all-black neighborhood but attends a nearly all-white prep school. Early on, she explains to the audience her “code switching” — how she easily moves from one world to the other by shedding her blackness as much as she can. She swaps her prized sneakers for ballet flats, stuffs her hoodie into her backpack and, most noticeably, starts to sound more “white.” At one point Starr refers to herself as “the unthreatening black girl.” “This is what sometimes a lot of white individuals want in terms of African-Americans,” says the film’s director, George Tillman Jr. (2009’s “Notorious”). “Not to be authentic, and really code-switch and make it easier for them.” Starr finds the switching difficult after her childhood friend Khalil (Algee Smith) is shot and

killed by a white police officer. She’s suddenly even more different from her white friends (she doesn’t tell them she was in the car with Khalil at the time of the shooting, because doing so would emphasize their different experiences with police). Moreover, she’s thrust into a situation that the country has seen over and over again — the same conversation about how Khalil was “no angel,” how the officer’s life matters too, how the hairbrush Khalil was holding looked like a gun. But “The Hate U Give” speaks in a different voice. “I think we have a tendency to place less value on female voices, or at least non-male voices,” says Stenberg (“The Hunger Games”).
“But it is really important to talk about black women, because I think oftentimes we aren’t assigned emotions outside pain or anger or strength; we are not allowed to have the myriad of emotions that comes with being a human being.” The film, which opened last week and is based on the book by Angie Thomas, uses Starr to showcase the black women’s voices that typically aren’t included in the larger conversation about race and police violence — and contrast them with the voices that are. Though Khalil was raised by his grandmother because his mother is an addict, the news media interview his mother and present the same portrayal of a black woman — angry, defiant, seemingly uneducated — that is all too common on television. “In terms of the tropes that are perpetuated about blackness, I think that’s what this film is for,” Stenberg says. “For the way the media intentionally misconstrues or postulates blackness in a way that’s negative, in a way that’s very selective and creates stereotypes.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

“‘Please, Don’t Ever Wager On Me,’ the new best-selling book from Blake Bortles, with a special foreword from Marcus Mariota.” @BILLSIMMONS, joking about the unreliable QBs of the Jaguars and Titans. s. The Jaguars’ Blake Bortles, right, threw four interceptions and had one fumble ble in Sunday’s 30-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After one of Bortles’ picks, the QB completely whiffed in an attempt to tackle Chiefs defensive tackle Chriss Jones before Jones trotted into the end zone. In another interception, Bortles’ s’ pass bounced off his own lineman’s helmet. Meanwhile, Marcus Mariota threw w for only 129 yards and one interception in the Titans’ 13-12 loss to the Bills.

@ORRAULUQICIFER, commenting on a Food Insider video that shows how jook-sing noodles, a traditional Chinese dish, are made. A long bamboo pole is secured over the fresh dough, on which the chef then bounces on one leg, moving the stick along the dough. The 19th-century technique is the only way to get the noodles’ springy texture. Twitter noticed the move looks a lot like the dance “The Shoot,” popularized in the game Fortnite.

“Fortnite players’ dream job.”
“My biggest takeaway from ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is how much the rest of Queen resents Freddie Mercury.” @MIKERYAN, tweeting his initial reaction to the Queen biopic. Some who went to early screenings said that while Rami Malek’s portrayal of the late Freddie Mercury was spot-on, the movie itself was lackluster.
“They’re all good dogs ... you awful, awful monsters.”
“Won the battle? Damn, I must’ve watched the wrong fight.”
@MCBC, reacting to a report in The New York Times that suggests “dogs are no more exceptional than other animals.” The study, conducted by a self-described cat person, found that humans may have exaggerated the intelligence capabilities of canines. The study was not well received by dog lovers, with many saying a cat must have written it.
@CAUEMOURA, responding to a photo from UFC fighter Conor McGregor with the caption, “We lost the match but won the battle. The war goes on.” McGregor on Saturday lost his UFC 229 match against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Since McGregor lost the match, fans were confused as to what “battle” McGregor was referring to.

Taylor Swift announced Sunday that she’s voting for Tennessee’s Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen, breaking her long-standing refusal to discuss politics. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift wrote in an Instagram post. The pop star — who spent time growing up in Tennessee — also slammed Republican candidate and U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn in her lengthy post. (AP)
