The UN General Assembly convenes. Korean Presidents meet. A Supreme Court vote is set. The Emmys are on. And Happy Oktoberfest! Here’s what the next six days will bring.
• All this week, we’ll stay locked on Florence as the deadly storm’s remnants move north and people who live in the disaster zone return home to survey the damage.
• Make sure you have your plug and WiFi access handy when Apple iOS 12 launches .
• „Game of Thrones“ and „This Is Us“ could have a huge night at the Emmys. The awards show airs at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with Michael Che and Colin Jost of „Saturday Night Live“ hosting. You can study up on the nominations here. And check out CNN’s predictions.
TUESDAY
• Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife visit the White House. The big question: After last year’s apparent snub, will Polish first lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda shake President Donald Trump’s hand? The visit comes as Poland has grappled with controversy over its Supreme Court and a law governing talk about the Holocaust.
• A third Korean summit is due to start in Pyongyang, North Korea. The three-day meeting will see South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meet for the third time to discuss strengthening ties between the nations and, perhaps, denuclearization. It will be the first trip by a sitting South Korean President to the North Korean capital since 2007.
• The UN General Assembly convenes in New York. Word is Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi won’t attend as criticism of her mounts over the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar. The Iran nuclear deal may be a topic for sideline conversations as pressure also reportedly is growing for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to skip, just weeks after Trump said he’d meet with Iran’s leaders „without preconditions.“
• Starting this evening, we wish our Jewish readers an easy fast and a meaningful holiday as they observe Yom Kippur.
