Here’s what else is happening

Jeffrey Epstein: At a court hearing in New York on Tuesday, some of the financier’s accusers who were denied the chance to face him at trial because of his suicide two weeks ago spoke through tears about how they had been coerced at a young age into having sex with him. “Justice has never been served in this case,” one victim told the court.

Iran: After President Trump said he would be open to meeting with President Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian leader said that he wouldn’t consider such a prospect until Washington lifted sanctions.

Google: Anthony Levandowski, a former Google employee who worked on the company’s self-driving cars project and then joined rival Uber, was charged by U.S. prosecutors with 33 counts of theft and attempted theft of trade secrets. The charges open a new chapter in the high-stakes contest over autonomous vehicles.

Indonesia: Cleanup has belatedly begun on a mid-July oil spill by the state-owned energy giant Pertamina off the island of Java, the scope of which is still unknown. The company said the leak would not be plugged until at least the end of September.

China: The government said it would reduce the penalties for the sale and import of unapproved drugs, effectively giving poor and critically ill patients access to cheaper generic versions from other countries.

Australia: The writer and democracy activist Yang Hengjun, an Australian citizen who has been detained in China since January, has been formally charged by the Chinese with spying, officials in Sydney and Beijing said.

Great Barrier Reef: Scientists hope that a raft of pumice rocks, released from an underwater volcanic eruption near Tonga this month and floating toward Australia, is teeming with corals that might help replenish the reef.
