The move marked a significant setback for Russia’s military; in September it declared parts of the region Russian land. Heavy fighting continues in some places, but the Ukrainian advance into Snihurivka, an important hub north of Kherson City that was abandoned overnight, indicates that the Russians are, indeed, retreating. Ukrainian officials had initially feared a ruse in the Russian announcement of a pullback, which followed days of enigmatic declarations from the occupying authorities. Ukraine’s military yesterday said it had advanced into 100 square miles of land in the past 24 hours and had reclaimed 12 towns and villages. “The enemy is regrouping and taking measures to partially withdraw troops to the left bank of the Dnipro,” the military said in a statement, referring to the river’s eastern bank, where the Russian military has been building defenses.

Nations are projected to emit roughly 36.6 billion tons of planet-warming carbon dioxide by burning coal, natural gas and oil for energy, up 1 percent from 2021 and slightly more than the previous record in 2019. The findings were released this week at the U.N. climate change summit in Egypt. Scientists have warned that the world as a whole will need to stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by around midcentury to stabilize global temperatures and minimize the risks from deadly heat waves, sea-level rise and ecosystem collapse. A few countries account for the majority of the world’s fossil fuel emissions, with China responsible for 32 percent, the U.S. 14 percent, the E.U. 8 percent and India 8 percent. In Europe, emissions are expected to drop by about 0.8 percent this year, largely driven by a steep fall in natural gas consumption after Russia cut off supplies. Analysis: “Every year that emissions go up makes it that much more challenging to bring them back down again by a certain date,” said Glen Peters, a research director at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo, who is one of more than 100 scientists involved in the research.

But the remark, which the body’s president determined to be racist no matter whom it was referring to, has highlighted ongoing issues for the National Rally, as the nationalist party seeks to sanitize its image. The National Rally, now France’s largest opposition party, has for years attempted to move beyond its narrow anti-immigrant appeals and break out of the fringes of French politics. That effort had mostly been working. But this episode violated strict internal orders to its members to “behave irreproachably” in Parliament, where they have tried hard to blend in. Context: The party’s rising profile fits a broader trend of hard-right parties gaining power in Europe. In Sweden, an anti-immigrant party now has a say over government policies, while in Italy, a nationalist party leads the government.
