We’re covering the fourth weekend of unrest in Belarus, the quashing of protests in Hong Kong and the far-off collision of two black holes. By Natasha Frost An immense protest in Minsk, the Belarusian capital, on Sunday appeared to be as large as those on the three previous Sundays. More than 100,000 people have gathered each week to denounce the president.

Defying government warnings, protesters in Minsk paraded up to lines of riot police officers, shouting, “Shame!” and “Go away.” They waved red and white flags, formerly the national flag until Mr. Lukashenko replaced it a year after he took office with a more Soviet-looking standard.

President Vladimir Putin of Russia announced late last month that he had formed a reserve force of security personnel ready for action in Belarus if “the situation gets out of control.” Sound of the revolution: Since the start of Mr. Lukashenko’s authoritarian rule in 1994, the country’s homegrown rock musicians have been forced underground.
