It caps a stunning political comeback for the man who was once Brazil’s most popular president. The departing far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, was supposed to supposed to pass Lula the presidential sash as part of the ceremony, an important symbol of the peaceful transition of power. Instead, facing various investigations from his time in office, he flew from Brazil to Florida on Friday night, where he plans to stay for at least a month. Lula ascended the ramp to the presidential offices with a diverse group of Brazilians, including a Black woman, a disabled man, a 10-year-old boy, an Indigenous man and a factory worker. A voice then announced that he would accept the green and yellow sash from “the Brazilian people.” A 33-year-old garbage collector placed the sash on the new president. Speech: In an address, Lula said that he would fight hunger and deforestation, lift the economy and try to unite the country. But he also took aim at his predecessor. “Under the winds of redemocratization, we used to say, ‘Dictatorship never again,’” he said. “Today, after the terrible challenge we’ve overcome, we must say, ‘Democracy forever.’” Cleaning up the site of a missile strike in Kyiv. Laura Boushnak for The New York Times Russian airstrikes in Ukraine In the first moments of the new year, dozens of Ukrainians recorded themselves singing the national anthem, as a swarm of exploding drones buzzed over the capital in an attack that followed a missile barrage earlier that evening. At least one person was killed, and more than 20 were wounded. The momentary good cheer masked some hard realities for a country under assault. Ten months into the war, Ukraine has turned the tide in ground combat in the southeast but also can do little to stop Russia from [launching relentless missile strikes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRllPhQP0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8wMS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvdWtyYWluZS1ydXNzaWEtYWlyLWF0dGFja3MuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzAxMDImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODE2MzEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTIxMzU2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjoVBzsmP7sWGTUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Ukraine has been developing long-range drones to strike back, and Russian airfields suffered drone attacks twice in December. But these are pinpricks compared with Moscow’s massive waves of strikes on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Military analysts say these attacks are intended to cut electricity and heat and to demoralize the population.

No one quite knows what the first funeral for a pope emeritus will look like; Matteo Bruni, the Vatican spokesman, has said it would be “simple” and “solemn but sober,” in keeping with Benedict’s wishes. Official delegations from Germany, Benedict’s homeland, and Italy will be present, but it is not yet clear whether other nations will send representatives. The Vatican said that Benedict’s body would be displayed to the faithful for a final “farewell” in St. Peter’s Basilica for three days starting on Monday morning. Until then, his remains will stay at Mater Ecclesiae Monastery, where he lived during his nearly 10-year post-papacy, before being ultimately buried in the Vatican grottoes. Quotable: “We are moved as we recall him as such a noble person, so kind,” Francis said on Saturday. “And we feel such gratitude in our hearts: gratitude to God for having given him to the church and to the world; gratitude to him for all the good he accomplished, and above all, for his witness of faith and prayer, especially in these last years of his recollected life.” Obituary: Benedict was a quiet scholar of diamond-hard intellect who spent much of his life enforcing church doctrine and defending tradition before shocking the Roman Catholic world by becoming the first pope in six centuries to resign.

The question at the heart of America’s abortion debate is the most elemental — and the most complicated. Some states draw the line at conception, others at six weeks or 15 or around 40.
