A freight truck arriving at the port at Larne in Northern Ireland last month. Confusion over new trade rules has interrupted some commerce, leading to empty shelves in Northern Irish supermarkets. Peter Morrison/Associated Press The ugly divorce between Britain and Brussels As trade disputes pile up, Britain and the E.U. have fallen out politically and diplomatically with a speed and a bitterness that have surprised even pessimists about the relationship. Tensions have flared since a new trade agreement formalized Brexit on Jan. 1. Britain refused to grant full diplomatic status to the European Union’s envoy to London, while European leaders lashed out at vaccine shortages, [briefly threatening to rip up the agreement governing trade with a post-Brexit Northern Ireland.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiHwiBP4QKAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDEvMzAvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2NvdmlkLXZhY2NpbmVzLWV1Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAyMTAzMDEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Mjc1OTMmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlYXJjaFJlc3VsdFBvc2l0aW9uPTUmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTI1MzImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmA3gYM8YPN37TNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) In a sign of the battles to come, the Bank of England’s governor, Andrew Bailey, warned last week of a “serious escalation” in tensions if the E.U. tried to force banks to move the clearance of euro-denominated derivatives trading from London to the continent. Analysis: “These are not purely teething problems,” said Kim Darroch, Britain’s former permanent representative to the E.U., citing the government’s explanation for Brexit problems. “They are structural problems that arise from not being in the single market. This is what a ‘hard Brexit’ looks like.” Context: As always with Brexit, much of the antagonism is being driven by domestic politics, with Britain’s fast vaccine rollout serving as ammunition both for the pro-Brexit cause in Britain and for anti-British sentiment within the bloc.

He was among 47 pro-democracy figures charged with violating the security law. Anthony Kwan/Getty Images Hong Kong charges dozens under security law The Hong Kong authorities on Sunday charged 47 pro-democracy figures with [violating the Chinese territory’s harsh new national security law](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiHwiBP0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMi8yOC93b3JsZC9hc2lhL2hvbmcta29uZy1zZWN1cml0eS1sYXctYXJyZXN0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMjEwMzAxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI3NTkzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD01MjUzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYDeBgzxg83ftM1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The police said each person was charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit subversion. They will be arraigned today at a courthouse in the West Kowloon area and could face life in prison if convicted. The 47 helped to organize an informal election in July to pick candidates from Hong Kong’s pro-democratic political camp to run for office. In doing so, the authorities say, they violated the security law’s provisions against interfering with, disrupting or undermining the functions of the Chinese or Hong Kong governments. Context: The charges are the latest escalation in the Chinese government’s efforts to bring Hong Kong firmly under control, and they represent the most forceful use yet of the wide-ranging security law, which has cemented Communist Party control over the territory.

This is an edited extract from her thoughts on why now is the right time to delve into the past. My brief, you could say, was to review the Book Review, to consider the coverage of “women, people of color, L.G.B.T.Q. writers” and changing mores in criticism. But what revelatory news could I possibly bring? The word “archive” derives from the ancient Greek arkheion, sometimes translated as “house of the ruler.” Who wanders there with any illusions? What could those reviews contain? Some misjudgments, to be sure — masterpieces misunderstood in their time. A few preternaturally sensitive assessments. Fluorescent condescension and stereotype. Above all, the pleasant and dubious satisfactions of feeling superior to the past. And yet. In recent years, The Times has faced scrutiny of the racial and [gender imbalance](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiHwiBP4QVAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTQvMDIvMjQvYnVzaW5lc3MvbWVkaWEvYm9vay1yZXZpZXctYnlsaW5lLXRhbGx5LXNob3dzLWdlbmRlci1kaXNwYXJpdHkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDIxMDMwMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yNzU5MyZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VjdGlvbj1iYWNrU3Rvcnkmc2VnbWVudF9pZD01MjUzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYDeBgzxg83ftM1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) in its reviews.

But what about the reviews themselves: the language, the criteria? When “women, people of color, L.G.B.T.Q. writers” were reviewed, how was their work positioned? What patterns can we trace, what consequences? And what do we do with this knowledge — how can it be made useful? When we come to know, what do we really see? That’s it for this briefing.
