Rory Kinnear's prime minister in Netflix's The Diplomat has resigned midway through the fourth series because Britain having the same leader for four years was deemed too unrealistic.

This is inaccurate. The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only.
Iranian-supported Houthis have increasingly engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions.
The safety and security of Department personnel and their families remain our highest priority, and we will continue to take all necessary steps to protect and support them.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the C5+1 Ministerial Meeting, the inaugural Enhanced Strategic Partnership Dialogue, and the second U.S.–Uzbekistan Business and Investment Council meeting gave fresh momentum to our strategic partnership. Agreed to continue working together to translate the agreements reached and priorities identified into concrete outcomes.

MPD is focusing its street-safety outreach on e-bikes and e-scooters across DC beginning today, 10/16.
Reminders for riders:
1. Travel with the flow of traffic
2. Only one rider per device at a time
3. Always wear a helmet
This is a citywide effort, with increased efforts in the U-Street Corridor, Navy Yard, and Gallery Place-Chinatown.

Last Friday, my kids and I witnessed the Eastern Market scooter crash that killed Talib Shakir. Two riders hit each other, and neither was wearing a helmet. Mr. Shakir's head hit the curb. He suffered horrific head trauma. I sprinted to the fire station for help while someone else called 911. From what I saw, I think he was killed instantly. I've had a week to reflect. 🧵

The U.S.-India partnership has come a long way, but the most important chapter is still ahead. At the @BBGNewEconomy Forum, I spoke about the enormous potential of the U.S.-India partnership, and why now is the time to turn commitments into real results!

SCOOP: Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a message to all State Department employees on Wednesday reminding them to act in accordance with ethics rules -- a day after President Donald Trump ousted US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle.
“As part of demonstrating our personal and professional integrity, I expect employees to avoid conflicts of interest in our work, to act impartially, and to avoid using our public offices for private gain,” Rubio said in correspondence seen by Bloomberg News.
