Navalny’s widow pledged to keep fighting

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, vowed to continue his fight against President Vladimir Putin’s autocratic rule.

Navalny, who died at a penal colony on Friday, spent years denouncing Putin and the corruption he saw within his government. Before yesterday Navalnaya had largely shunned the spotlight, but she said she had to fill the void that Navalny’s death left in the opposition movement.

“I am going to continue the work of Aleksei Navalny and continue to fight for our country,” Navalnaya said on her husband’s YouTube channel, adding, “I ask you to share my rage — to share my rage, anger and hatred of those who have dared to kill our future.”

The dangers Navalnaya faces in trying to unite the fractured pro-democracy movement against Putin are significant. The government in 2021 declared her husband’s foundation an extremist organization and disbanded it, sending the group’s main investigators into exile. If Navalnaya returns to Russia, she could be arrested because of her association with the group.

Navalny’s final months: Navalny’s letters show that his mind stayed active, even as brutal prison conditions wore down his body.

African activists demand solutions for femicide

A recent spate of gruesome killings of women across several African countries has set off a wave of protests and precipitated calls for governments to take decisive action against gender-based violence.

In January, 31 women in Kenya were brutally killed, activists and police officials said. In Somalia, a man was accused this month of killing his pregnant wife by setting her on fire.

A feminist scholar popularized the term femicide to describe the killing of women or girls based on their gender. According to a U.N. report, the killings are often carried out by male partners or close family members.

An estimated 20,000 gender-related killings of women were recorded in Africa in 2022, the highest amount in the world, according to the U.N. Experts believe the true figures are likely higher. Critics say that many African leaders, as well as the police, ignore or downplay the problem or even blame victims.

Gunfight killed 26 in Papua New Guinea

More than two dozen people were killed in a gunfight on Sunday in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea, where violence between more than a dozen tribal groups has been escalating. Police said as many as 17 tribes were involved in the clashes, and only men are believed to have been killed.

The issues in the highlands date back many years and often relate to longstanding grievances over land or politics. At least 150 people were killed in clashes in 2023, and the death toll has been rising in recent years as tribespeople have moved from using traditional weapons to high-powered firearms.Continue reading the main story

Researchers have named about 2.3 million species, but there are millions, even billions, left to be discovered. The task is made more complicated because researchers disagree on what makes a distinct species.

The debate is more than an academic pastime. The current extinction crisis makes developing a quick and accurate taxonomy an urgent matter.

The award for best backting goes to …

It’s movie awards season, and after “Oppenheimer” dominated the BAFTAs over the weekend, you might need something to tide you over until the Oscars on March 10.

Wesley Morris, our critic at large, is happy to oblige, with awards for categories that the Academy has yet to recognize.

Best Acting Above the Nose: Paul Giamatti, “The Holdovers.” Giamatti plays a fallen prep-school teacher full of embitterment and tweedy hauteur. You can measure the emotional magnitude of his character’s righteousness by the creases, lines and squiggles that striate his forehead.

Best Nervous Breakdown: Margot Robbie, “Barbie.” When the forces of sexism land on Barbie, Robbie’s face crumbles beneath the weight of epiphany.

Best Backting: Franz Rogowski, “Passages.” When it comes to communication, we are a face species, but the back talks, too. Great backting tends to emphasize failure, rue, humiliation, secrecy. In “Passages,” Rogowski’s back achieves most of that, plus a powerful dose of guilt.
