We’re covering world markets shaken by an escalating trade war, India’s stripping of Kashmir’s special status and a bold prison escape attempt in Brazil.

The escalation shook world markets as nervous investors looked for safe places to park their money. Wall Street suffered its worst day of the year, with the S&P 500 closing down nearly 3 percent. Details: Yields on U.S. Treasuries, which fall as prices rise, dropped as investors sought safety in government-backed bonds. Benchmark indexes in Asia and Europe also fell. Explainer: A weaker currency can make goods cheaper to sell abroad, allowing businesses and consumers to help offset the additional tariffs planned by the U.S. for September. Context: In a tweet in July, Mr. Trump accused China and Europe of playing a “big currency manipulation game and pumping money into their system” in order to compete with the U.S. Indian paramilitary soldiers stand guard in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday. Channi Anand/Associated Press India strips Kashmir’s limited autonomy The mountainous valley, which is sliced up between Indian and Pakistani control, is bracing for rioting and unrest after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government moved to [revoke a constitutional provision, Article 370](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfK476P4QIAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDgvMDUvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9pbmRpYS1wYWtpc3Rhbi1rYXNobWlyLWphbW11Lmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwODA2JnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3cz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTQzNSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1OTA1JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MnRpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAJPoJSV2sZQBlUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), that had granted Kashmir a high degree of autonomy. Government authorities severed internet connections, mobile phone lines and even land lines, casting Kashmir into an information black hole that made it very difficult to discern what was unfolding. Weeks ahead of the announcement, tens of thousands of extra troops had been deployed across Kashmir, and many Kashmiris had been expecting some sort of big action. Explainer: When India and Pakistan won independence in 1947, the Muslim-majority princely state of Kashmir opted to remain independent. But militants from Pakistan soon invaded, prompting Kashmir to seek protection from India. It agreed to [become part of India](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfK476P4QHAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMTkvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9pbmRpYS1wYWtpc3Rhbi1jcmlzaXMuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA4MDYmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDM1JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU5MDUmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAk-glJXaxlAGVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) under certain conditions set out in Article 370. Reaction: Pakistan, opposition lawmakers in India and some analysts denounced the move as potentially illegal and likely to end up before India’s Supreme Court. Riot police officers fire tear gas during a clash with protesters in Hong Kong on Monday. Lam Yik Fei for The New York Times Hong Kong protesters mount their fiercest challenge Protesters from all walks of society fanned out across the semiautonomous city, occupying roads and malls, closing down businesses, and disrupting flights and rail services in [the most dramatic day of demonstrations](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfK476P4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDgvMDUvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9ob25nLWtvbmctZ2VuZXJhbC1zdHJpa2UuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA4MDYmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDM1JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU5MDUmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAk-glJXaxlAGVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) since the movement began in June. The demonstrations, as with previous ones, devolved into violent clashes as officers fired tear gas at protest sites across the city and protesters surrounded and vandalized several police stations. The city’s leader, Carrie Lam, in her first public remarks in two weeks, accused protesters of trying to “topple Hong Kong” and of challenging Chinese sovereignty — a statement that analysts said was predictably uncompromising and offered nothing new. Here’s how the day unfolded, by the numbers: 82: Protesters arrested, bringing the total since demonstrations began in early June to 420 200: Flights canceled 7: Railway lines with service partially or entirely suspended Unknown: Tear gas canisters fired. A police spokesman put the total since early June at 1,000. President Trump, in front of Vice President Mike Pence, delivers remarks on Monday about the mass shootings in Ohio and Texas.

He did not express support for broad gun control, but called for action on mental illness, video games and “the perils of the internet and social media.” He also took no responsibility for the atmosphere of division, nor did he recognize his own reluctance to warn of the rise of white nationalism until now. Video games: Some Republicans argue that there is a causal link between video games and violent behavior. But there is broad agreement among researchers that [no such link exists](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfK476P4QJAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDgvMDUvc3BvcnRzL3RydW1wLXZpb2xlbnQtdmlkZW8tZ2FtZXMtc3R1ZGllcy5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MDgwNiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE0MzUmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTkwNSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJ0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACT6CUldrGUAZVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). “The data on bananas causing suicide is about as conclusive,” said one psychology professor. “Literally.
