But beneath a façade of near-normalcy is a troubling fact: the disparity between the countries that have done best in the face of Covid-19 and those that have done worst is large, and it will divide the region even more starkly between rich and poor states. In addition, while Covid-19 itself is unlikely to cause collapse, it has wreaked devastation precisely in the most vulnerable countries. For many of them, Covid-19 will hang over their economic, political, and social development for many years to come.
Like much of the world, the Middle East has navigated Covid-19 better than many initially had feared. Infection curves have spiked and flattened and then spiked again, but they have not collapsed medical systems. Economies have not crumbled, and governments have endured. Compared to predictions of a...

Auto safety experts and driverless technology advocates hope someone will put an end to Tesla's word games and rule-skirting.

At approximately 11:19 a.m. on Aug. 28, 2020, two Russian Su-27 Flanker pilots intercepted a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber that was conducting routine operations in the black sea over international waters. The Russian pilots flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner while crossing within 100 feet of the nose of the B-52 multiple times at co-altitude and while in afterburner causing turbulence and restricting the B-52’s ability to maneuver. A U.S. Airforce spokesperson said that the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace exercising our freedom of navigation and overflight. The U.S. Air Force routinely operates aircraft in the region in accordance with recognized international safety standards as prescribed in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules of flight.
