Sunday 9.23.18 We know you've been waiting. It's OK. Now you can get out your pumpkin spice. It's finally fall, y'all!! Here's what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. By Michelle Krupa | |  | President Donald Trump is set to travel today to New York, where the UN General Assembly meets all week. He's slated to make remarks Monday about the global drug crisis, then to address the conference Tuesday, when Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also is scheduled to speak. The US President on Wednesday will chair a Security Council meeting set to focus on nukes in Iran, plus chemical weapons attacks in Syria and Britain. Trump is expected to hold bilateral meetings with the Presidents of South Korea, Egypt and France and the Prime Ministers of Israel, Japan and the United Kingdom. | | Bill Cosby is due in court Monday to be sentenced on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. The comedian once known as "America's Dad" was found guilty in April of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. The process will also determine whether Cosby, 81, will be designated a sexually violent predator. He faces up to 10 years in prison on each count, though legal experts said he's likely to spend much less time, if any, behind bars. Proceedings could extend into Tuesday. A 10% tariff goes into effect Monday on another $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, including Fitbit fitness trackers, dishwashers and food seasonings. The rate is due to rise to 25% by year's end when roughly half the products China sells the United States will be affected by tariffs. China is set to strike back against the latest levies in a trade war that's worrying investors. There are plans for Pope Francis to speak with reporters Tuesday on his flight back to Rome after a four-day visit to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It's almost impossible to imagine the clergy sex abuse scandal not coming up. Stick with CNN and our Vatican correspondent, Delia Gallagher, for developments. | | Wednesday could be a big day in the push to hold accountable Catholic clergy credibly accused of sexual misconduct with children. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reportedly is due to hear arguments from current and former clergy whose names were blacked out from an explosive state grand jury report detailing sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over 70 years. They argue they have a constitutional right to appear before the grand jury and a judge before their names are released. What happens could affect how other states approach similar investigations. Meanwhile, many Catholics are clamoring for Pope Francis and his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, to answer questions about the accusations dividing their church. Fresh off the UN meetings, Chile's President heads Friday to the White House. Trump and Sebastián Piñera plan to chat about energy, cybersecurity and efforts to restore democracy in Venezuela. Trade also may come up, as Chile is a major player in the Trans-Pacific Partnership that Trump ditched. And here's to your heart! Saturday is World Heart Day. Its focus is reducing cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, which claims 17.5 million lives each year. To reduce your risk, you can cut down on sugary drinks, eat more fruits and veggies, not smoke and do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five times each week. | |  | One last trip Take a final spin around the globe with our late colleague, Anthony Bourdain.
