Why Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro has environmentalists worried for the Amazon

브라질 대통령으로 선출된 보우소나르가 환경부를 취임직후 농림부로 통합시키는등의 아마존 개발의 수순을 밟고 있어 결국 아마존 파괴를 부를것이라는 우려

The Amazon rainforest is an ecological wonder. Its waterways and canopy provide a rich ecosystem for a 10th of all the world's species and help regulate the temperature of the entire planet. But the election of far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro as Brazil's new president has many worried about the forest's future.

                rainforests.

The greatest trick Donald Trump ever pulled

(CNN)

Donald Trump has done a lot of unprecedented things since he started running for president in June 2015. He's attacked prisoners of war. He's bullied just about everyone in the world of politics. He's downplayed the white supremacist violence that led to a woman's death in Charlottesville, Virginia. He's said thousands, literally, of things that are not true.

But the most amazing trick Trump has pulled as a politician -- and now as president -- is to convince lower-middle class, predominantly white voters that he is one of them.

I was reminded of that trick on Sunday when Trump was asked whether he can relate to federal workers not being paid due to the ongoing government shutdown. 

unprecedented : 전례없는, 미증유의

prisoners of war : 베트남전 참전중 포로생활을 했던 맥케인 상원의원을 일컬음.

bully : 괴롭히다. 협박하다.

downplay : 경시하다. 대단치 않게 생각하다.

white supremacist : 백인 우월주의자

a woman's death in Charlottesville : 2017년 8월 Charlottesville에서 발생한 백인우월주의자의 시위에 맞서 반대하던 시위를 벌이던 군중에게 돌입한 차량에 한 여성이 사망한 사건

lower-middle class : 중하류층

Why the latest Paul Manafort news is a very big deal

(CNN)

On Tuesday we learned -- thanks to a redaction error in a filing in the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference -- that Paul Manafort met with a Russian-linked operative named Konstantin Kilimnik during the course of the 2016 campaign. And in that meeting, according to special counsel Robert Mueller's office, Manafort discussed policies related to the Russia-Ukraine relationship and shared polling data about the 2016 campaign with Kilimnik.

That. Is. Huge.
