Editor’s Note: The Nightshift will be published in abbreviated form for the next couple of weeks due to outside scheduling commitments. Weekend editions will be full-pack, but weekday commentary will be very streamlined.

The meetings between China’s President and the U.S. President are over. The Chinese media waited until their leader left for home before criticizing the U.S.President for the Syrian airstrike. And there’s more where that came from: North Korea remains a problem without an easy solution. Next week should be interesting as the international lines are being drawn in the sand.
There’s a nasty trend in retail: stores are closing by the hundreds. Part of the problem is Amazon and other online retailers (and their free shipping) and the other part is the decline of malls. It’s going to be a tough retail year by any standard and some very big brands (Sears), could totally disappear from the retail landscape. Does retail have to become more of an experience worth leaving home for and less of a bargain? It’s a big problem that needs a range of solutions.

Today, we added Bloomberg.com to the list of international news sites. We frequently reference Bloomberg articles and posts and news and it seemed appropriate to include them in the daily mix. To the obvious question–what took you so long–we have no ready answer. But very glad to include them. Like the other newspapers and news sources listed here, they deserve a prominent spot in your morning review of the world.
