We’re covering the effects of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a weekend of protests in Belarus and Britain’s attempts to avoid a second national lockdown. By Natasha Frost Americans paid their respects to Justice Ginsburg at the Supreme Court in Washington. Michael A. McCoy for The New York Times With Ginsburg’s death, a more volatile U.S. election The U.S. is mourning the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the deeply admired Supreme Court justice who died on Friday.

But two Republican senators so far have come out against taking up a Supreme Court nomination before the election, potentially complicating the process if others follow suit. Democrats have angrily recalled Republicans’ refusal in 2016 to consider President Barack Obama’s nominee for a successor to Justice Antonin Scalia, who died nine months before that year’s election. Justice Ginsburg had said that her “most fervent wish” was that she not be replaced before a new president took office. The stakes: Justice Ginsburg’s death has the potential, at least in part, to shift the race from a referendum on Mr. Trump and his handling of the coronavirus crisis to a battle over the court and volatile issues like abortion.

Here’s an excerpt. As one colossal event followed another — the pandemic, the economic crisis, the movement for racial justice — I started to wonder if the story of fires that had decimated some 46 million acres and left thousands homeless was even worth paying attention to anymore. Now, wildfires have scorched more than five million acres of the American West, leaving dozens dead and a smoke cloud that crosses the continent. They say history doesn’t repeat; it rhymes. In this case, it practically stuttered. The film crew in South Nowra, Australia. John Pappas Traveling through the burned-out countryside, just weeks after the fires, I was struck by how quickly and effectively communities had rallied to support those who had been affected. That generosity of spirit was partly to make up for a government response that had fallen well short of expectations. But it also stemmed from the simple fact that, despite deep political differences that divide Australian society just as they do in the United States, people recognized that their neighbors needed help. And they reached out. Witnessing all of that has left me changed. Despite the despair I feel when I look out my Brooklyn window and see smoke that might have come from Oregon, I’m also hopeful. The challenges — wildfires and much more — burning through our country are enormous, but when we see those in our community suffering, we will do what Australians, Americans, humans do best. We will help. Thanks for starting your week with The Times. Until tomorrow. — Natasha Thank you To Theodore Kim and Jahaan Singh for the break from the news.
