But how long until China becomes old news and he moves on to worship a new idol? He just needs 1) scapegoat and 2) a nemesis. It's the hatred that fuels him.

India says at least twenty of its soldiers were killed in a clash with Chinese forces, raising the original number of casualties it first reported. The hand-to-hand fighting took place along a disputed border in the Himalayas. China has accused India of a 'provocation' and has not disclosed if any of its troops were killed. Tensions between the two sides have been building over the last month. This is the first incident with fatalities in more than 40 years.

Some managers and CEOs are turning to "productivity management" software to track their employees while they work from home. How do systems like this affect employees? And are there limits to the ways in which employers can track their workers in pursuit of productivity?

According to a new survey, 77% of workers want to continue to work from home at least once a week when the coronavirus pandemic is over.

But many managers worry that employees won’t work as much, or as hard, when they’re not in view. Consequently, some are turning to “productivity management” software to track their employees while they work from home.

One such software company, Prodoscore, said it has seen a 600% increase in interest from prospective customers since the pandemic hit. Another, TransparentBusiness, said it has seen a 500% spike in users month to month.

“We take a number of data points, be it a CRM tool that they are currently using, a phone system like a Vonage, an email system, it could be G Suite or Microsoft 365. We aggregate all those data points in a real time, proprietary dashboard that provides them a weighted score,” said Prodoscore CEO Sam Naficy. “All of it is recorded.”

But what kind of impact do systems like this have on workers? And are there limits to the ways in which employers can track their workers in pursuit of productivity?

“There are many employers that are looking at this and thinking this is a real opportunity to reshape work,” said Jamie Woodcock, a senior lecturer of people and organizations at The Open University. “Will it benefit people who are working and are now able to work in new ways? Or will it benefit employers who will find new ways to get the most out of people’s time they’ve bought to make people work even harder? ”

President Trump is holding a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday. The location choice sparked outrage, given that nearly a century ago, hundreds of African-Americans were killed in Tulsa in one of the largest race massacres in U.S. history. Tulsa World assistant editor Kendrick Marshall joined CBSN to discuss.

Trump is going to keep playing the white power card

White supremacy is a very safe bet in America. Imo, the more racist Trump plays it the better his chance of winning the second term. This and that weird Nazi **** on Facebook isn’t accidental.
