Also this morning: Tokyo’s governor speaks Arabic, Trump savaged over veteran insult, Galaxy Note 7 to launch today

Other stories this morning of which you should be aware:

  • The first female governor of Tokyo studied in Egypt and speaks fluent Arabic, the New York Times tells us (in passing) as part of a longer profile.
  • Donald Trump is being savaged by U.S. military veterans and the Republican establishment for his remarks critical of the parents of a Muslim-American officer killed while serving in Iraq. Check out coverage in the New York Times (where an investigation has shown he dodged the draft with five deferments during the Vietnam war), Wall Street Journal or the New Yorker, depending on your political persuasion.
  • Samsung to announce Galaxy Note 7 today. We’re clearly a bunch of iSheep around here (our appreciation for the Nexus and former Google Play Edition programs) and we hate even the toned-down TouchWiz, but surely some among you will be pleased to know that Samsung will release the Note 7 at an event in New York today. Android Central has the details if you’d like to watch live at around 5pm CLT.
