Good morning. We're covering strikes in Lebanon and new evidence in the Trump election case. Plus, what we learned from fashion month.
Strikes killed 6 in Beirut, the health ministry saidAfter a day in which Israeli and Hezbollah troops fought at close range in southern Lebanon, Israel kept up its bombing campaign. Three massive explosions were heard in Beirut around midnight local time, shortly after Israel announced that it was conducting "a precise strike." State media reported that a health authority building in the Bachoura neighborhood was hit by an Israeli strike, and officials said that six people were killed and seven others injured. Israel said eight of its soldiers had been killed in the first day and a half of combat in Lebanon, a relatively high toll compared with the daily losses the military has taken in the war in Gaza. Here's a map of the invasion. Several officials said Israel had yet to make a decision about how to respond to Iran's missile attack on Tuesday. The exact nature of its response may not become clear until after Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, which runs until sundown tomorrow. President Biden said yesterday that he would not support an attack by Israel on Iranian nuclear sites and that he believed Israel's response had to be proportional. Beirut dispatch: Hezbollah gave media outlets, including The Times, a tour of southern Beirut suburbs where it is the dominant power. Airstrikes targeting members of Hezbollah have brought the Dahiya neighborhoods to a standstill, with residents fleeing and businesses shuttering.
New evidence was unsealed in the election case against TrumpA federal judge in Washington made public portions of a sprawling legal brief in which prosecutors provided the fullest picture yet of what they found in their investigation of Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. In the brief, the special counsel, Jack Smith, depicted scenes in which Trump minimized concerns for the safety of Vice President Mike Pence during the Jan. 6 riots — "So what?" Trump said, according to the filing — and dismissed attempts to convince him that he lost the election. Smith argued that Trump was not immune from prosecution because his actions at the center of the criminal charges were the unofficial acts of a desperate losing candidate, rather than the official acts of a president. Read the newly unsealed evidence here. We took a look at the decisions now facing the judge presiding over the case.
Ukraine withdrew from an eastern mining townThe Ukrainian military ordered the last of its forces to retreat from Vuhledar, a mining town in the country's east, after it was stormed by Russian troops. Losing the town will complicate Ukraine's defense of the southwestern part of the Donetsk region, allowing Russia to step up attacks in the direction of Pokrovsk, a key rail and road hub. It took more than three years for Russia to capture Vuhledar. After years of fighting, there are signs both armies are exhausted, raising questions about Russia's capacity to exploit its gains as well as Ukraine's ability to continue fending off relentless attacks. Russia's priorities: President Vladimir Putin has increased resources toward recruiting more soldiers and encouraging bigger families. Though the two campaigns are separate, they display the Kremlin's increasingly aggressive attempt to enlist regular Russians in reshaping their country to prevail over the West.
Kaue Garcia and Ryan O'Neill, a gay couple, bought an English rugby team in an old textile town. After a few months, they decided the time was right to shake things up by employing a drag queen for pregame entertainment and designing Pride jerseys for the team. To their surprise, the changes proved to be a hit.
Fashion month just ended. Here's what we learned.Fashion Month was big, glamorous and stuffed to the brim with celebrities. But there were few satisfying answers about what's next in style, our chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, wrote. Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton closed out Paris Fashion Week with a revelation. They didn't worry about the confusion, they embraced it, combining fancy fabrics with athleisure or pouffy 16th-century jackets with biker shorts. And that idea, Vanessa said, was the best of the month — a takeaway you can actually replicate at home, whether you wear the designers' clothing or not. Another striking look: A performance artist used prosthetics to create a lifelike Jack Nicholson costume to attend Balenciaga's show in Paris.
