The authorities issued a red alert for what they warned was the heaviest deluge in years. The intense rain, which is expected to last until today, prompted Beijing to close tourist attractions — like the Forbidden City. But the worst effects have been felt in the city’s outer districts, where downpours overwhelmed riverbeds that usually stay dry for much of the year. Details: Authorities said that more than 5,000 people were evacuated from their homes in the Mentougou District of Beijing, and a [video shared by news outlets](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmqqYwP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuMTYzLmNvbS9uZXdzL2FydGljbGUvSUFWT1RBSUYwMDAxODk5Ty5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIzMDgwMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05ODg5NSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDA3NTUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmS2MCHIZNxJWSlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) showed cars being swept down a swollen river.

There were nearly twice as many military airstrikes reported in April, May and June as in the first three months of the year. The escalation of attacks against civilian targets comes as the opposition takes more land. As opposition forces have done so, the military has resorted to increasing air attacks — many of which have hit civilians. Context: The military is trying to punish civilians for any perceived support of the opposition, one expert said. Since the coup in February 2021, the military and its allies have killed at least 3,452 people, according to the U.N.

The market for collectibles like baseball cards and comic books has been heated of late. In April, a rare Pokémon card sold for $300,000 and last year a copy of Superman No. 1 sold for $5.3 million.

Many collectors keep a mental log of their wares, but they would be wise to maintain a physical list and address their collections in their wills. “More times than I can remember, a spouse or child has said to me, ‘If he wasn’t dead, I’d kill him all over again for leaving me with this mess,’” the president of an auction house said.
