Migrants from the Middle East and elsewhere at the Belarus-Poland border.Pool photo by Ramil Nasibulin Crisis deepens at Belarus-Poland border With thousands of people camped in the cold at the Poland-Belarus border, Western officials have accused Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus’s repressive ruler, of [using asylum seekers as human weapons](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjbzaoP0T5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIxLzExLzEwL3dvcmxkL3BvbGFuZC1iZWxhcnVzLWJvcmRlci1taWdyYW50cz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMTExMTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDUxMzUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NzQxMDEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmGMqLGMYScoZO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) and trying to manufacture a migrant crisis in Europe in retaliation for sanctions against his country, creating a new flash point in East-West relations. Western officials said Lukashenko had increased the number of people allowed to fly into his country and then funneled them westward toward the E.U. It appears that the number of flights to Minsk from the Middle East have [at least doubled over the past 10 days](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjbzaoP0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMS8xMC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvbWlncmFudHMtZmx5LWlyYXEtYmVsYXJ1cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIxMTExMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD00NTEzNSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD03NDEwMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYYyosYxhJyhk7lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

In response, Brussels is contemplating further sanctions aimed at Belarus. But few believe that new sanctions will move Lukashenko any more than previous ones have. The migrants: Innocent children, women and men are in freezing conditions, stuck between Polish border guards and barbed wire on one side and Belarusian troops on the other. At least 10 people have died; other estimates are higher. On either side of the border, migrants have [faced brutal beatings](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjbzaoP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMTEvMTAvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9taWdyYW50cy1iZWF0ZW4tYmVsYXJ1cy1ib3JkZXIuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMTExMTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDUxMzUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NzQxMDEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmGMqLGMYScoZO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). A banner protesting plans for a methane-producing recycling plant near Montargis, France.Andrea Mantovani for The New York Times In France, a disconnect over clean energy Montargis, a town 75 miles from Paris, was the center of the Yellow Vest social uprising, an angry protest movement over an increase in gasoline taxes that was sustained for more than year by a much broader sense of alienation felt by those outside France’s major cities. Three years on, the economic and political disconnect that nearly tore France apart remains just below the surface. Talk of a renewable-energy revolution in Paris has [provoked concern in Montargis and towns like it](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjbzaoP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMTEvMTAvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2ZyYW5jZS1jbGltYXRlLWNoYW5nZS1lbmVyZ3ktcHJpY2VzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjExMTExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTQ1MTM1Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTc0MTAxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgphjKixjGEnKGTuUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) about the potential costs to working-class people whose livelihoods are threatened by that clean-energy transition. Household gas prices are up 12.6 percent in the past month alone, partly the result of shortages linked to the coronavirus. Electric cars seem fancifully expensive to people who were encouraged not so long ago to buy fuel-efficient diesel automobiles. And a wind turbine that will slash property values is not what people want to see down the road. Quotable: “If Parisians love wind turbines so much, why not rip up the Bois de Vincennes and make an attraction of them?” one resident asked, alluding to the vast park to the east of Paris. Background: For Emmanuel Macron, facing an election in April, the transition to clean energy has become a delicate subject. He has portrayed himself as a green warrior, albeit a pragmatic one, but knows that any return of the Yellow Vests would be disastrous for his election prospects.

Inspired by sensationalist murder trials, the vaudeville-style musical follows the character Roxie Hart’s ascent to fame after she kills her lover. The production “seemed too chilly, in those days, to be truly loved,” Ben Brantley wrote in The Times, pointing to the show’s themes of “greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery.” But then came a streamlined reworking of the production in 1996 that bubbled “like vintage Champagne,” Brantley wrote. “Chicago” went on to become the longest-running American musical in Broadway history and nabbed six Tony Awards, a film adaptation and over 30 international reproductions. The show has stayed fresh with the help of dazzling cast members: singers like Patti LaBelle and Usher, movie stars like Brooke Shields and Patrick Swayze, and even reality TV personalities like NeNe Leakes. “It’s not a stunt: We don’t take anyone that can’t fulfill the stage work,” the producer Barry Weissler said. “There have been people — even important people in the music world — who couldn’t cut it onstage, so didn’t make it into the show.” For the 25th anniversary of the revival, Juan A. Ramírez [spoke with the musical’s composer, producers and actors about its history.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjbzaoP0T5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMS8xMC90aGVhdGVyL2NoaWNhZ28tYnJvYWR3YXktYW5uaXZlcnNhcnkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMTExMTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDUxMzUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NzQxMDEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmGMqLGMYScoZO5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) PLAY, WATCH, EAT What to Cook Christopher Testani for The New York Times.
