The announcement comes as Japan’s virus case numbers drop and vaccination rates skyrocket. The country is now administering nearly one million doses of the vaccine every day. About 18 percent of the population has received a first dose, and 7.3 percent are fully vaccinated. Spectators from overseas were barred in March from attending. The International Olympic Committee agreed that crowds would be allowed up to 50 percent of a venue’s capacity, up to 10,000 people. However, if the pandemic situation worsens or if emergency measures are declared by the Japanese government, the Games could be held without spectators. Those who attend will have to wear masks — and will not be allowed to shout. U.S. Olympic trial results: The nine-time U.S. Olympic medalist Allyson Felix made her fifth and final Olympics. Michael Norman, who has run the fourth-fastest 400 meters of all time, is also going to Tokyo.

In his first news conference as president-elect, Raisi also said he would not meet with President Biden. He called for Americans to comply with a 2015 agreement that limited Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions. “We emphasize that the U.S. government should be sincere toward its commitments while noting that the regional and missile issues are not negotiable,” he said in a briefing, according to the official Iranian IRNA news service. He also voiced a new idea: that Iran was willing to restore diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia, which collapsed in 2016.

Even before the war, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed appeared bent on breaking the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which formerly led the central government. He has sought to consolidate power in the federal government and his political party, jailing prominent rivals. The T.P.L.F. and Tigray have openly resisted. In September, Tigray defied him by going ahead with regional parliamentary elections, which the federal government had ordered postponed because of the pandemic. Ethiopian lawmakers voted to cut funding to the region in October, incensing Tigray leaders. On the night of Nov. 3-4, T.P.L.F. forces attacked a federal military base in Tigray. The T.P.L.F. has said it struck preemptively, as federal forces prepared an assault. Hours later, Abiy ordered a military offensive, and internet and phone communications were shut down. Eritrea’s authoritarian government joined forces with Abiy. Federal forces and their allies quickly seized control of Tigray’s capital, Mekelle, and other main towns, but the T.P.L.F. and its armed supporters fled to rural and mountainous areas, where sporadic fighting has continued. The government has restricted journalists in the region, making it hard to gauge the situation. Humanitarian agencies have warned that the conflict had afflicted [350,000 people with famine](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRis4L-P0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNi8xMC93b3JsZC9hZnJpY2EvZXRoaW9waWEtZmFtaW5lLXRpZ3JheS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIxMDYyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zMzUyNyZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjEzMjAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmDK_v3QYBspwJVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
