Hispanic Heritage Month begins today (because seven Latin American nations celebrate independence this week). It's a great time to learn more about the United States' 60 million Hispanic residents and to celebrate the contributions of Hispanic-Americans. Here's what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart.

By Michelle Krupa & Faith Karimi
Bahrain's leader visits the White House
President Trump on Monday is set to welcome Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa of Bahrain, a key economic and security partner in the Middle East. Following heated disputes over oil tankers in the region, the leaders are due to discuss maritime protection and Iran.  

Israel holds national elections (again)
Voters head back to the polls Tuesday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed following April elections to form a coalition government. Netanyahu has vowed to move to annex parts of the West Bank if he wins re-election. Some say that could deal a fatal blow to any two-state solution with Palestinians.

Corey Lewandowski heads to Capitol Hill
Trump's ex-campaign manager has said he intends to comply with a subpoena to appear Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee. Lewandowski is cited extensively in the obstruction of justice section of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. The White House has talked about invoking executive privilege to limit his testimony.

Facebook & Twitter execs confront disinformation
More than year out from the 2020 races, the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday is due to host leaders of the influential social media platforms to talk about disrupting efforts to spread political lies. Facebook, Twitter and Google execs on Wednesday are expected at a US Senate panel hearing on extremism and mass violence online.

All eyes focus on the Fed
The US central bank is scheduled to meet Wednesday, with another rate cut expected. Trump has urged the Fed to import the negative interest rate policies of foreign central banks, a step many analysts see as extreme.

The Washington Monument reopens
The national site's 37-month closure ends Thursday, when it unveils a modernized elevator control system and a new security screening facility.

Mass climate strikes begin
Activists plan an intergenerational event Friday in Washington to call attention to the climate crisis and demand elected leaders' action. Hundreds of Amazon workers also are due to walk out that day, saying their employer isn't doing enough to stem the climate emergency. These coincide with the start of a weeklong Global Climate Strike campaign.
 
Will anyone actually 'Storm Area 51?'
Hundreds of thousands of people said online they'll attend a Friday event dubbed, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us." It started as a tongue-in-cheek plan to blitz Nevada's Ground Zero of UFO conspiracy but quickly got out of hand, with the US military pushing back and the creator terrified it will become a "humanitarian disaster." Will anyone show? Only the aliens know.

Happy Oktoberfest!
The annual celebration of culture, sausage and beer begins Saturday in Germany.
