George H.W. Bush's funeral

The official schedule of memorial services for former President George H.W. Bush, who died late Friday at the age of 94, was released Saturday evening. An arrival ceremony involving both the House and Senate will be held at 4:45 p.m. on Monday at the US Capitol, where Bush will lie in state in the rotunda until Wednesday morning. The public can pay their respects to the 41st president from 7:30 p.m. Monday to 8:45 a.m. Wednesday. On Wednesday, family and friends will gather at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, for an 11 a.m. memorial service. President Donald Trump designated Wednesday as a national day of mourning. The former president will also lie in repose at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, where Bush lived, from 7:45 p.m. Wednesday until 7 a.m. Thursday. A second memorial service for Bush will be held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church at 11 a.m. Thursday. Bush will then be taken to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, where he will be laid to rest. Both Bush's wife Barbara, the former first lady who died in April, and their daughter Robin, who died of leukemia as a child, are laid to rest on the library's grounds.

In Other News A third week of violent protests in France has led President Emmanuel Macron to call for a solution. Macron has asked Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to meet with heads of political parties and representatives of the so-called "yellow vest" protesters after 92 people were injured and more than 200 arrested during a Saturday protest that attracted around 36,000 people. The "yellow vest" movement was formed to demonstrate against rising gas prices and taxes on polluting forms of transport. Over time, the unrest has transformed into a broader demonstration against Macron, his government, and tensions between the metropolitan elite and rural poor. The oil-rich country of Qatar is pulling out of OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The country says it wants to focus more on natural gas production. Although Qatar's contributions to OPEC have been less than, say, Saudi Arabia, its decision to pull out of the oil cartel is significant for a few reasons. One, it's been a member for nearly 60 years. Two, it reflects economic tensions in the region (Qatar has been under an economic embargo by some of its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia). Three, the decision comes at a time when OPEC is looking to expand its membership, so Qatar's withdrawal definitely hurts. During the G20 summit in Argentina, President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a temporary truce on trade. Trump agreed to maintain the 10% tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and not raise them to 25% "at this time." In exchange, China agreed it was willing to purchase a "very substantial" amount of agriculture, energy and other goods from the United States to help reduce the trade imbalance.
