Atul Loke for The New York Times In Mumbai, coronavirus zeros in on the most vulnerable There’s a reason Indians call Mumbai “Maximum City.” It’s a city with a startling wealth gap.

This city of 20 million is now responsible for 20 percent of India’s coronavirus infections and nearly 25 percent of its deaths. For the past eight weeks, Atul Loke, a photographer, has been tracking the outbreak in Mumbai. Hospitals are overflowing, and infections are surging in Dharavi, one of the city’s poorest areas. Doctors say the biggest enemy is Mumbai’s density. On the ground: The wealthy appear determined to stay away from residents of poorer neighborhoods — some housing associations have even barred maids, watchmen and casual laborers from coming to work. But with the monsoon season coming and migrant workers fleeing, there could be other hot spots like Mumbai across the country.

The state of emergency will remain in place for the country’s eight most populous areas, including Tokyo and Osaka, but Mr. Abe said he would decide next week whether to lift those restrictions before the end of the month. “We will have to create a new model in daily life from now on,” he said, “and today is the start of that.” A prime-time newscast at the ABS-CBN studio in Quezon City in April. Jes Aznar for The New York Times Shutdown of Philippine network leaves a void President Rodrigo Duterte’s critics are saying the decision to shut down a popular TV network is evidence that his [increasingly domineering government is cracking down on dissent.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgoDbtP4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDUvMTQvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9kdXRlcnRlLXBoaWxpcHBpbmVzLXR2LW5ldHdvcmstQUJTLUNCTi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJBRV9wXzIwMjAwNTE0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NDgyJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzg0NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKABvtsb1eYLyMQVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) It’s been about 10 days since ABS-CBN, one of the most influential networks in the Philippines, went black for the first time since 1986, when a popular revolt toppled Ferdinand Marcos. Lawmakers are seeking to grant ABS-CBN a provisional license to return to broadcasting. In the meantime, the shutdown has left viewers without its sports, entertainment or, most crucial during a pandemic, news programs. “Now, we don’t know what’s happening,” said a viewer who for years relied on ABS-CBN for information about earthquakes, typhoons, floods and political turmoil. Context: Mr. Duterte’s government has ascribed the closure of ABS-CBN to anomalies in licensing renewals. But critics say he is using the coronavirus crisis to stifle dissent. It comes after a yearslong crackdown on journalists. The Philippines ranks as one of the world’s most dangerous places for reporters, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

First, soak a cup of soybeans, almonds or oats in plenty of water overnight. Soy, especially, will grow two or three times in volume, so make sure you do this in a big bowl. In the morning, use a colander to drain the water, and rinse the soy, almonds or oats. This is especially important, if you’re using oats, to prevent the milk from getting slimy and glutinous. Then put your soy, almond or oats in a blender, together with three cups of water, and blend for about two minutes. Thorough blending will maximize how much milk you can squeeze out. The oat milk process: 1) Soak the oats overnight. 2) Rinse. 3) Blend with fresh water. 4) Strain. 5) Enjoy. Hiroko Tabuchi/The New York Times Next, pour out the mixture into a clean cheesecloth — a dedicated “nut milk bag” makes this part really easy, and prevents any spills — and squeeze out the milk. And I mean squeeze and squeeze, until you get the last drops out. Then, if you’re using soy or almonds, gently heat the milk, but stop before it reaches a boil. That’s common practice in Japan, because people there tend not to eat raw nuts. But I wouldn’t heat the oat milk, which can easily get slimy. You can add a little sugar or maple syrup to any of the milks, to taste. It should keep in the fridge, covered, for about five days. That’s it for this briefing.
