Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.
Rally backlash puts Trump on the defensiveDonald Trump and his allies are full of bravado over his chances of victory in November. But there are signs that the former president and his team are worried that their opponents' descriptions of him as a racist and a fascist may be breaking through to segments of voters. That anxiety was clear last night after Trump's six-hour rally at Madison Square Garden. During the event, which was billed as his closing argument, opening speakers disparaged Latinos, Black people, Palestinians and Jews, and directed misogynistic comments at Kamala Harris. Several Republicans distanced themselves from one crude comment about Puerto Rico, and Trump's campaign disavowed it — a rare break from his typical ethos of never apologizing and never admitting error. Harris seized on the spectacle. She accused him today of "trying to divide our country." Her team has grown cautiously optimistic about her chances of victory, buoyed by her attacks on Trump, as well as by her strength among female voters. In the past, Trump has paid little political price for inflammatory remarks. His campaign said it is more focused on what they believe is a small fraction of undecided voters — largely younger men — who could be persuaded to support Trump. More from the campaign trail:
North Korean troops were deployed to fight UkraineNorth Korean troops have arrived in Russia's western Kursk region, where they are expected to help Moscow's forces reclaim territory that Ukraine seized in August. NATO's secretary general said the presence of the troops in the region represented "a dangerous expansion" of the war. The Pentagon said North Korea had sent about 10,000 soldiers to eastern Russia, with many moving toward the battlefield in the Kursk region. Videos geolocated by The Times appear to show North Korean troops in Russia. A growing menace: Cities in eastern and southern Ukraine are increasingly being hit by Russian glide bombs, which can be guided to targets and often land without detection.
U.S. influence in the Middle East has wanedTop Biden administration officials began a final attempt before the election to exert influence over the conflicts in the Middle East: Today, the C.I.A. director met with envoys from Israel and Qatar to discuss a potential cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas. However, as the dust from Israel's retaliatory strikes against Iran on Saturday settles, analysts and former diplomats said that Israel was now dictating events in the Middle East. The U.S. has been relegated to the role of wing man. In Israel, Parliament approved a bill that would ban the main U.N. agency aiding Palestinians from operating in the country. It was not immediately clear when and whether it would be put into effect, but it appeared to threaten some of the functions of the agency.
Japan entered a period of political uncertaintyJapan's Liberal Democrats, who have governed the country for all but four years since 1955, lost their majority in yesterday's snap parliamentary elections. The party may be able to assemble a coalition and remain in power, but the election highlighted deep-seated grievances that could cause chaos in what has been Asia's most stable democracy.

Joan Didion's elusiveness continues to inspire writersJoan Didion, one of the most famous writers of the 20th century, forever changed our understanding of what nonfiction could be. Yet one biographer told us that Didion remains "opaque," adding: "I felt like I've been trying to understand her for years, but I've been standing outside a locked door." Didion's distinctive blend of confession and opacity seemed to invite dissections of her work and life for decades. Since her death in 2021, four books have been written about Didion, with at least two more scheduled in the years to come.

Think you can hold a grudge? Consider the crow.It's probably best to think twice before disturbing a crow. The birds are renowned for their intelligence. And when they identify someone as a potential threat, crows can hold a grudge for as many as 17 years, scientists found. That's longer than a single crow's life span, suggesting that the resentment is passed along to the next generation. "They were waiting for me at the bus stop every single day," one man said. "My house was three or four blocks away, and they would dive-bomb me all the way home." Have a determined evening. Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. — Matthew Jill Foley was our photo editor today. We welcome your feedback. Write to us at evening@nytimes.com.
