Antiracism protesters gathered in Britain

Thousands of police officers were mobilized across Britain yesterday amid fears of a new round of anti-immigrant riots, after far-right groups called for further protests. But at least as of early evening, large far-right demonstrations had not materialized, and only a handful of arrests had been made.

Instead, thousands of antiracism protesters gathered across the country, including in Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool and London. Some of those demonstrations were close to places that had been identified as potential targets for rioters.

In Liverpool, people banged drums, chanted “Fascists out!” and held signs that read “Love Not Hate,” as a helicopter circled overhead. The gathering was diverse, made up of locals who were surprised that their street had become the center of a demonstration, as well as union groups and others who voiced condemnation of the recent violence.

Context: Rioters have clashed with the police, set cars afire and targeted mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers over the past week. The chaos was fueled in part by an online disinformation campaign after a deadly knife attack on a children’s event in northwestern England.

🇺🇸 U.S. ELECTION 2024

The presidential election is less than 100 days away. This is what we’re watching.

The campaigns made an appeal to the Midwest

The battle for the Upper Midwest began in earnest yesterday, with the Harris and Trump campaigns making dueling appearances in the same cities, as both vie to win over a crucial portion of the American vote. Their planes landed at the same airport, one seemingly right after the other. Here’s the latest.

Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, held a rally of 12,000 people in Eau Claire, Wis. Senator JD Vance of Ohio, Donald Trump’s running mate, spoke in an industrial garage in the same city with a handful of blue-collar workers behind him. In Detroit, Harris and Walz attended another rally, and Vance spoke at a suburban police department.

The Democratic duo promoted Harris’s economic policies and delivered harsh words about Trump. Walz played up his background — a former football coach, schoolteacher and military veteran who was raised in small towns and who did not show much interest in a political career until he was in his 40s. Here’s the story of his late, fast rise.

Why Harris picked Walz: Harris is said to have liked the Minnesota governor’s policies and his appeal to Midwesterners and rural voters. Walz’s progressive record as governor parallels his state’s move toward more liberal politics.

Here’s what else to know:

Vance attacked Walz’s military service, accusing him of quitting the Army National Guard to avoid going to Iraq. Veterans who served with Walz said he retired to run for Congress months before the unit got its orders.Vance wrote the foreword to a book by the head of the conservative group that coordinated Project 2025. It will now publish after the election.Trump said he would debate Harris, whom he called “nasty,” days after pulling out of a planned debate on ABC News and suggesting one on Fox instead.

Ukraine launched a ground assault into Russia

Ukrainian troops and armored fighting vehicles crossed into Russia’s western Kursk region on Tuesday, according to Moscow and independent military analysts, in what could be one of the largest Ukrainian incursions onto Russian soil in more than two years of war.

The assault has resulted in heavy fighting, according to images from the battlefield verified by independent analysts and Russian statements. Videos showed armored vehicles being struck several miles inside Russia, and Moscow said it had rushed troops and fighter jets to respond.

Gen. Valery Gerasimov, the commander of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, said the advance of Ukrainian troops had been halted yesterday evening, while pro-Kremlin military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had captured several settlements near the border.

Analysis: A sprawling prisoner exchange between Russia and the West last week underscored President Vladimir Putin’s loyalty to his intelligence services. It also showed his continued interest in making deals.

From a roar to a whisper

“TERF,” a play about J.K. Rowling and her views on transgender women, provoked months of media outrage and scrutiny. Then it opened at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with barely a whimper.

Onstage, Rowling attends an upmarket dinner with the stars of her Harry Potter films, all of whom are played by actors. When they confront Rowling about her social media comments, the dinner descends into farce and detours into imagined scenes from Rowling’s life that have nothing to do with transgender people.

At the play’s premiere, a handful of would-be protesters had attended, apparently ready to demonstrate. But though they sat with signs in their laps, they never raised them, a producer said. Read more about the play.
