WORLD IN BRIEF
Aung San Suu Kyi, which took power in 2016.
Though the military, which ruled the country
for a half-century, maintains control of sev-
eral key ministries, Suu Kyi’s rise to govern-
ment had raised hopes for an accelerated tran-
sition to full democracy and her stance on the
Rohingya crisis has disappointed many former
admirers.
As the verdict was announced in the
hot Yangon courtroom, Kyaw Soe Oo’s
wife started crying, leaning into the lap of
the person next to her. Outside the court,
police and journalists shouted as the two Reu-
ters reporters were led to a truck to be taken
away.

Firefighters try
to save relics as fire
engulfs Rio museum
RIO DE JANEIRO — A huge fire engulfed
Brazil’s 200-year-old National Museum in Rio
de Janeiro, lighting up the night sky with tow-
ering flames as firefighters and museum work-
ers raced to save historical relics from the
blaze.
The esteemed museum, which houses arti-
facts from Egypt, Greco-Roman art and some
of the first fossils found in Brazil, was closed
to the public at the time of the fire, which broke
out at 7:30 p.m. Sunday local time, it said in a
statement.
There were no reports of injuries, the
museum said, and it wasn’t immediately clear
how the fire began.
Roberto Robadey, a spokesman for the fire
department, said 80 firefighters were battling
the blaze and that by midnight local time it was
“just about under control” and should be out
within a few hours.
President Michel Temer called it “a sad day
for all Brazilians.”
The most volatile
candidate for the
midterms: Trump
WASHINGTON — Heading into the mid-
term elections, the most volatile candidate this
year isn’t on the ballot.
But President Donald Trump still loves to
take his freewheeling political stylings on the
road on behalf of his fellow Republicans and
he’s raring to go for the sprint to Nov. 6.
His eagerness to campaign for candidates
— and protect his political flank — has led
Republican officials and Trump’s political
team to devise a strategy for managing the
president’s time. It’s designed to keep him in
places where he can be helpful.
They’re also determined to try to manage
his unpredictability so the party’s strongest
asset in turning out core GOP voters doesn’t
end up doing damage instead.
There’s a constant effort to keep him on
best behavior.
Trump sees mixing
trade, foreign policy
as good politics
WASHINGTON — When President Don-
ald Trump pulled the plug on an upcoming
trip to North Korea by his secretary of state,
he pointed a finger of blame at China and the
global superpower’s trade practices.
In his recent trade breakthrough with Mex-
ico, Trump praised the country’s outgoing
president for his help on border security and
agriculture.
Both developments offered fresh evidence
of how Trump has made trade policy the con-
nective tissue that ties together different ele-
ments of his “America First” foreign policy
and syncs up them with his political strategy

Navy body bearers move the casket of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., from his proces-
sional hearse into the Naval Academy Chapel on Sunday.
Family, friends say final
goodbye to Sen. McCain
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Sen. John McCain’s final journey ended on a grassy hill at the U.S.
Naval Academy within view of the Severn River and earshot of midshipmen present and
future, and alongside a lifelong friend.
A horse-drawn caisson carrying the senator’s casket led a procession of mourners from the
academy’s chapel to its cemetery Sunday following a private service. The senator’s widow,
Cindy, and his children were among those who walked behind the caisson. Joining them were
family and friends as well as members of McCain’s Class of 1958 and military leaders.
The U.S. Navy band played marches along the way and several hundred Naval Academy
midshipmen lined the path. A flyover of military aircraft in “missing man” formation honored
the Navy pilot who was shot down over Vietnam and held more than five years as a prisoner
of war.
After the American flag was removed from the casket, a grieving Cindy McCain pressed
her check to its surface and McCain sons Jimmy and Jack shared a hug. Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis presented flags to Cindy McCain and Roberta McCain, the senator’s 106-year-old
mother.
The burial was private as per the wishes of McCain, the Arizona Republican and 2008 pres-
idential nominee died Aug. 25 from brain cancer at age 81.
for the 2020 presidential election.
Trump’s 2016 triumph was paved in part by
his support among blue-collar voters in Mid-
western manufacturing states that narrowly
supported him over Democrat Hillary Clin-
ton, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
His aggressive trade tactics, epitomized by
tariffs and standoffs with longtime economic
partners and allies, are aimed at reversing what
he has long viewed as unfair trade deals while
maintaining support among largely white,
working-class voters who have been hurt by
the loss of manufacturing jobs.

UN agency: Trips
across Mediterranean
fall, but risks rise
GENEVA — People smugglers are taking
greater risks to ferry their human cargo toward
Europe as Libya’s coast guard intercepts more
and more boats carrying migrants, increas-
ing the likelihood that those on board may die
during the Mediterranean journeys, the U.N.
refugee agency said.
That’s one of the key findings
from a new UNHCR report about efforts
to reach Europe. The report, titled “Des-
perate Journeys,” said that even though the
number of crossings and deaths has plunged
compared to recent years, the voyage is more
deadly in percentage terms for those who ven-
ture across.
It said that 2,276 people died last year
while trying to cross, or one death for every
42 arrivals.
This year, it’s 1,095 deaths, or one out of
every 18 arrivals. In June alone, the proportion
hit one death for every seven arrivals.
On the Central Mediterranean route so
far this year, there have been 10 separate inci-
dents in which 50 or more people died — most
after departing from Libya. Seven of those
incidents have been since June alone, UNHCR
said.

years in prison for illegal possession of offi-
cial documents, a ruling met with interna-
tional condemnation that will add to outrage
over the military’s human rights abuses against
Rohingya Muslims.
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo had been report-
ing on the brutal crackdown on the Rohingya
when they were arrested and charged with vio-
lating the colonial-era Official Secrets Act,
punishable by up to 14 years in prison. They
had pleaded not guilty, contending that they
were framed by police.
“Today is a sad day for Myanmar,
Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe
Oo, and the press everywhere,” Stephen J.
Adler, Reuters editor-in-chief, said in a state-
ment. He said the charges were “designed
to silence their reporting and intimidate the
press.”
The case has drawn worldwide attention
as an example of how democratic reforms in
long-isolated Myanmar have stalled under the
civilian government of Nobel Peace laureate
CHEMNITZ, Germany — Thousands of
people are expected to attend a concert in the
eastern German city of Chemnitz against far-
right protests.
This evening’s performances, by some
of Germany’s most popular bands,
come in reaction to a week of sometimes
violent rallies by far-right groups against
migrants.
The protests were triggered by the fatal stab-
bing of a 35-year-old German man in Chem-
nitz on Aug. 26, allegedly by two migrants
from Iraq and Syria.
The tension that has built up over the past
week in Chemnitz reflects the growing polar-
ization over Germany’s ongoing effort to come
to terms with an influx of more than 1 mil-
lion refugees and migrants to the country since
2015.
The concert is being promoted under the
#WeAreMore hashtag.
