We’re covering companies sidestepping the Huawei ban, a European heat wave and a French restaurant named the best in the world. By Melina Delkic A Huawei billboard in Shanghai in May.

The chip makers have found ways to avoid labeling goods as American-made. The sales will help Huawei continue to sell products such as smartphones and servers. How we know: The Times spoke to four people with knowledge of the sales, who spoke on the condition they not be named because they were not authorized to disclose the sales. Reminder: Europe is one of [Huawei’s greatest success stories](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe9YFfP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDUvMjQvYnVzaW5lc3MvaHVhd2VpLXVzLWNoaW5hLWV1cm9wZS0uaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA2MjYmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwNDgxJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ2NTMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAkX_wSXfhWhl1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). The company sold more than 42 million smartphones on the Continent last year, and European customers will be hit harder by limits on Huawei technology than those in the U.S. or China. Fatou Jallow, a former Gambian beauty queen, outside her home in Toronto in June. Tara Walton for The New York Times Beauty queen accuses Gambia’s former president of rape Five years ago, the president of Gambia crowned Fatou Jallow, then 18 years old, the winner of the nation’s top beauty pageant. Then the president, Yahya Jammeh, summoned her to Gambia’s Statehouse — for what she thought was a Ramadan event — where, she said, [he raped her](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe9YFfP4RRAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDYvMjUvd29ybGQvYWZyaWNhL2ZhdG91LWphbGxvdy15YWh5YS1qYW1tZWgtZ2FtYmlhLmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJm1vZHVsZT1XZWxsJnBndHlwZT1Ib21lcGFnZSZzZWN0aW9uPVdvcmxkJnRlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MDYyNiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA0ODEmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDY1MyZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDYyNiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACRf_BJd-FaGXVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Now, she is speaking out in an exclusive interview with The Times. “Part of what he did was to break me and shut me down,” she said. “I want him to hear me loud and clear. He can’t bury it.” Ms. Jallow is the first to publicly accuse the president of sexual assault, just as Gambia is in the process of reckoning with his terrible legacy. Mr. Jammeh, who fled to Equatorial Guinea in 2017, did not respond to efforts to reach him. Background: Mr. Jammeh has been accused of gross violations of human rights. People he deemed enemies were killed, journalists were jailed and tortured, and migrants fleeing the country were gunned down. Details: Ms. Jallow said she was too scared to tell anyone about what she experienced. She has since fled the country and gained asylum in Canada. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Turkey, on Tuesday. Adem Altan/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Trials in Turkey take on new meaning after Erdogan’s defeat Several [key trials are taking place this week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe9YFfP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDYvMjUvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3R1cmtleS1lcmRvZ2FuLXRyaWFscy5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MDYyNiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA0ODEmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDY1MyZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJ0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACRf_BJd-FaGXVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), and they are being seen in a new light after the defeat of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s mayoral candidate in Istanbul. The trials are expected to be watched closely by foreign governments, which have been troubled by Mr. Erdogan’s efforts to crack down on huge swaths of the opposition. Details: Sixteen civil society activists went on trial Monday, accused of trying to overthrow the government by participating in the Taksim Square protests of 2013, and two Turkish employees of the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul are scheduled to appear in court this week. Those proceedings will coincide with the high-profile trial of Osman Kavala, who is one of the country’s most prominent political prisoners and is often described as the George Soros of Turkey. Context: While Turkey’s judiciary is considered independent, it is in crisis. Thousands of judges were purged in the aftermath of the failed 2016 coup attempt, hollowing out the service. Many were hurriedly replaced, often by Erdogan loyalists, and those who remain work in a climate of fear, experts say. Teenagers cooled themselves in the fountain of the Trocadero esplanade in Paris on Tuesday.

Authorities from Paris to Warsaw issued heat alerts, canceled events and braced for potentially record heat. Exams were canceled, and some people postponed their vacations. Heat waves like these are becoming more frequent and prolonged, with hotter temperatures appearing earlier in the season, weather experts say. Climate change: While scientists have yet to draw a firm connection between this particular heat wave and global warming, it fits a clear overall trend. As the climate changes because of greenhouse gas emissions, heat waves around the world are occurring more often, and they are hotter and last longer.
