We’re covering Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Lebanon, Charlie Hebdo’s republication of its Prophet Muhammad cartoons and Argentina’s push to return jaguars to the wild. By Natasha Frost Aleksei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, at his Moscow office in 2014. Mr. Navalny is now comatose in a German hospital. James Hill for The New York Times Aleksei Navalny: The Kremlin’s unspeakable nemesis During more than 20 years in power, President Vladimir V.

(When he did so at a private event in 2013, after prodding from an American interlocutor, it became a national news story.) Why? Intolerably for Mr. Putin’s circle, Mr. Navalny is “completely out of their control,” resulting in a quasi-mystical taboo around his name, one analyst said. Another source of the anger, he added, is that the security services have never been able to find any compromising material on him.

The cartoons were published online Tuesday and will appear in print today — just as the long-awaited trial begins of people accused of assisting in the attack, which left 12 people dead. In the new issue, Charlie Hebdo’s editors [wrote](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhMazAP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vY2hhcmxpZWhlYmRvLmZyLzIwMjAvMDkvc29jaWV0ZS9sYS1jb3V2ZXJ0dXJlLWEtbGFxdWVsbGUtdm91cy1uZWNoYXBwZXJlei1wYXMvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMjAwOTAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxODI5Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0zNzMxMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKAB7AJ09fSFcGYVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) that not republishing the cartoons would have amounted to “political or journalistic cowardice.” They added, “Do we want to live in a country that claims to be a great democracy, free and modern, which, at the same time, does not affirm its most profound convictions?” Looking back: Charlie Hebdo last published a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its front page for the issue after the January 2015 massacre. It showed him carrying a sign reading, “I am Charlie,” with the headline “All is Forgiven.” President Emmanuel Macron of France, left, met with President Michel Aoun of Lebanon at the presidential palace outside Beirut on Tuesday.

He urged them to back an overhaul of government and measures to curb pervasive corruption, and he warned that they would otherwise be at risk of sanctions on their personal wealth. The leaders have controlled the government through a sectarian power-sharing agreement during the three decades since Lebanon’s civil war, a long and brutal conflict in which most of them participated. By dangling the threat of sanctions, Mr. Macron is hoping to secure a commitment to economic and political measures that underpinned discussions early this year with the International Monetary Fund about a bailout. Those talks stalled over several issues, including the government’s rejection of a forensic audit of the central bank.

In Part 2, John Eligon, who covers race; Annie Karni, who covers the White House; and Jonathan Martin, who covers politics, [talked about the themes at the Republican National Convention](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhMazAP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOS8wMS9pbnNpZGVyL3JuYy1yZWNhcC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMjAwOTAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxODI5Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPWJhY2tTdG9yeSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM3MzEzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAHsAnT19IVwZhUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~)and the strategies in play to help President Trump get re-elected. Jonathan, talk about how President Trump and the Republicans chose to frame the events in Kenosha, Wis. What distinction are they drawing with Democrats about law and order? The president is running in a moment where the country is suffering from a pandemic that has killed more than 180,000 people and thrown millions out of work, so Republicans see the Kenosha event as an opportunity to recast the campaign and make it more about disorder in American cities and charging that Joe Biden would tolerate or enable that. Obviously, it’s tough to drive that message when Mr. Biden is not the president when this is happening, but this is a matter of political necessity. Doug Mills/The New York Times Annie, we heard a lot about women, about suffrage. There was a lot of programming that hit that message. What do you think the aim of that was? The phrase I was tracking went like, “I wish you could see what I see”: this empathetic president who is kind. This was a theme over and over. It was an acknowledgment that he needs to increase his support with suburban women. That’s the best path he has to re-election, and it was a clear acknowledgment that just the base is not going to be enough. How was this convention aimed at the swing states that were fundamental to his 2016 win? Jonathan: If you look at the polling, the president has been trailing Biden consistently, but the margins got worse over the summer, and there’s been some analysis about what happened. You can basically trace it back to June and July, when two things happened. He responded to the Black Lives Matter protest in a way that was incendiary and turned off a lot of voters, including center and center-right voters, and then the coronavirus flared back up and he wasn’t showing urgency in his response. Those two issues have given Biden a larger lead that may be temporary, so I think the mission in this convention was looking to places like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania and trying to get back some of those voters they lost.
