More than a third of the venue, which was set to hold a sold-out performance by the rock band Piknik, caught on fire. Emergency services tried to rescue people from the roof, which was collapsing, according to a state news agency. There was no report of who might be responsible for the attack, but state media said that there were up to five perpetrators. The attack at the concert venue, Crocus City Hall, in the suburb of Krasnogorsk, could be the deadliest in Russia in decades. In videos filmed inside the hall, audience members are heard screaming, and there are multiple gunshots. Other videos filmed from a highway outside of the building show parts of it on fire producing heavy smoke. A White House official said there was no indication that Ukraine was involved. On March 7, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued an alert warning of a possible attack by “extremists.” Russian authorities said they had opened a criminal investigation into a terrorist act and dispatched investigators. Russia tightly regulates firearm possession and mass shootings are rare.

Her announcement followed King Charles’s revealing his cancer diagnosis and treatment last month. Like the king, Catherine, 42, did not specify what kind of cancer she has. She asked the public to respect her desire for privacy. “This of course came as a huge shock,” Catherine said, “and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.” [Donald Trump speaks into a microphone, pointing his finger for emphasis.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn4H2GP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMi9idXNpbmVzcy90cnVtcC1tZWRpYS1tZXJnZXItdHJ1dGgtc29jaWFsLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyNDAzMjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE4MzI0Jm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjE1NDgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmX7hvj9ZUbVQlJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) Trump will hold enormous sway over the new company. Doug Mills/The New York Times Trump gained $3 billion, and maybe a lifeline Donald Trump’s struggling social media company [merged today with a publicly traded shell entity](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn4H2GP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMi9idXNpbmVzcy90cnVtcC1tZWRpYS1tZXJnZXItdHJ1dGgtc29jaWFsLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyNDAzMjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE4MzI0Jm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjE1NDgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmX7hvj9ZUbVQlJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), potentially giving him a fresh source of cash to pay his mounting legal bills. Shares of the company could begin trading on Monday, with a total expected valuation of around $5 billion. Given that Trump owns more than 60 percent of it, his net worth would increase by about $3 billion. My colleague Matthew Goldstein, who is covering the merger, said the deal could give Trump a way to [prevent New York State from seizing his assets](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn4H2GP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMS9idXNpbmVzcy90cnVtcC10cnV0aC1zb2NpYWwtbWVyZ2VyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyNDAzMjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE4MzI0Jm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjE1NDgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmX7hvj9ZUbVQlJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). Trump is facing a Monday deadline to cover a $454 million penalty from his civil fraud case, and he has been unable to secure enough cash or a bond to do so. Under the merger agreement, major shareholders aren’t allowed to sell or use their shares as collateral for at least six months. But Trump’s allies are likely to make up the majority of the company’s board. “I think the most likely scenario is that they will lift the restriction so that he can pledge the stock,” Matthew told me. Trump could then appeal the New York ruling without selling off his real estate.
