TODAY'S TALKING POINTS 09-04-15

TODA Y'S TALKING POINTS Germany has reinstated temporary border controls. After warning that the country couldn’t cope with a massive influx of refugees — mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan — Germany stopped trains traveling between Bavaria and Austria, effectively cutting off the path that 450,000 refugees have used this year. After predicting the country would take in 800,000 refugees this year, the vice chancellor bumped the number up to 1 million today. Thousands of protesters across Europe rallied their governments Saturday to take in more refugees, holding signs encouraging them to “be human.” As for the additional 10,000 refugees that the Obama administration has promised to accept, these are the states they’re most likely to call home. The European Union will discuss their plan today to resettle 160,000 refugees. That number of people seems incomprehensible, so here's a scale that shows what that really looks like (paywall).  Rick Perry threw in the towel. The GOP candidate suspended his campaign after struggling with fundraising and trying to rebrand himself as a prepared contender. Perry praised the other GOP candidates, but also urged voters to not replace “a Democratic divider-in-chief" with a certain GOP front-runner “Republican divider-in-chief." Hillary Clinton’s server reportedly wasn’t wiped. The company that managed her server said they have no evidence the emails were permanently erased, which means the 30,000 plus emails Clinton deleted may be recoverable. The British Bernie Sanders won a UK election. Far-left British Labour Party politician Jeremy Corbyn is now the leader of his party after a landslide election. Not long ago, Corbyn was a longshot candidate with über liberal viewpoints. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Sanders was in the same boat not too long ago. Now, Sanders is surging ahead in the polls and raising the question of whether there could be a similarly unexpected victory in the U.S. After Corbyn’s win, Donald Trump was duped into retweeting a photo of the socialist, thinking he was a fan and potential Trump supporter. It’s not the first time this has happened; another candidate took advantage of that. Egypt’s prime minister and cabinet resigned. After calls by civil servants for his resignation mounted, prime minister Ibrahim Mahlab stepped down without explanation. Oil Minister Sherif Ismail is now tasked with creating a new government before Egyptian parliamentary elections in October. Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in the men's U.S. Open final. This is the 10th Grand Slam title the world's No. 1 ranked player has won. One day earlier, Flavia Pennetta defeated Roberta Vinci, winning her first Grand Slam title. After her big win, she surprised everyone by announcing her retirement.
