After more than five hours, the authorities said that the military police had retaken control of the site. The assault was the violent culmination of incessant rhetorical attacks on the nation’s electoral systems by Bolsonaro, who lost a close runoff to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, in October. Lula, who was in São Paulo when the protests erupted, signed an emergency decree allowing the federal government to take additional measures to restore order. Brazil’s justice minister said that about 200 people had been arrested. Local officials said that the authorities were investigating reports of rioters attacking journalists, smashing windows of ministry buildings and carrying bladed weapons. Bolsonaro: The former leader has been staying in Florida, where he traveled late last month as his presidency was coming to a close. Since his election loss, his supporters have been camped outside military bases across the country and had called on the armed forces to take control of the government and halt Lula’s recent inauguration.

They include Chechens, who are refugees from Russia itself, as well as foreign citizens from nearby nations, like Georgia, that have a history of opposition to Moscow and the leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president. Several Chechen units have joined Ukraine in its fight against Russia in recent years, following the 2014 uprising of Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. Many of the volunteers were already living in Ukraine, either for work or seeking refuge from political oppression back home, and were motivated to join the fight by historical grievances of dispossession and suppression by Moscow. Some have struggled with visas and residency permits, and their eagerness to join the fight has aroused suspicions among some Ukrainian officials and commanders, who are on high alert for saboteurs.

Families who have been kept apart for weddings, funerals, birthdays and graduations are finally preparing to reunite. In Hong Kong’s airport, hundreds of people waited to check in for flights to the mainland, but the arrivals hall was more quiet. Many of the city’s border checkpoints were reopened; empty transportation halls filled up with groups of people, and shuttered storefronts were open once again. But unease has tempered the celebratory mood. Covid has ripped through China in recent weeks, causing chaos in hospitals. Beijing’s decision to open its borders has left many in the diaspora reeling and spurred some to delay returning to see family members until the Covid outbreak has abated. Impact: Nations around the world are eager to welcome the return of Chinese tourists, who spent $250 billion a year overseas before the pandemic. Their abrupt disappearance in early 2020 plunged many tour guides and travel operators into bankruptcy.

ARTS AND IDEAS The future of remote work In a tight labor market, where employers have had good incentives to accommodate workers’ preferences, it has been easy for workers to make the argument for workplace conditions that suit them — including “wfh,” or “working from home,” as a given at least some of the time. As layoffs loom, the worker-first era is over. Some prominent chief executives, including David Solomon of Goldman Sachs and Elon Musk of Twitter, have seen an opportunity to get their employees back in the office. But is the pandemic-induced remote work experiment about to end? Economists [say it is not likely](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlnjLoP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8wNy9idXNpbmVzcy9kZWFsYm9vay9yZW1vdGUtd29yay1kb3dudHVybi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIzMDEwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04MjIxNSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjE5OTUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmO16K27Y61bBxtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Last year, remote work stabilized well above prepandemic levels, with around 30 percent of full paid working days in the U.S. completed remotely last year, up from around 5 percent in 2019. In surveys, workers favored being remote about 2.8 days per week. Their employers preferred them to be out of office 2.3 days. Employees say they like working remotely because it means no commute and more peace and quiet. But allowing employees to operate outside of the office can also benefit companies. Such flexibility may allow them to pay less, and workers with an option to log in remotely may also take fewer sick days.
