The holy city of Jerusalem, a tinderbox of competing religious and political claims, has repeatedly triggered bouts of Israeli-Palestinian violence. This time around, there have been some additional sparks, including Jewish extremists who, emboldened by their political patrons’ recent election to parliament, staged a provocative march to Jerusalem’s walled Old City chanting “death to the Arabs.” Over the course of a few days, nightly Jerusalem street brawls between Israeli police and disaffected Palestinian residents of the city escalated to cross-border fighting between Israel and Gaza’s Islamic militant Hamas.

And they're back. At the 2021 Oscars on Sunday, celebrities returned to an actual, in-person red carpet after numerous major awards shows had nominees stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Academy Awards are taking place largely from Union Station in Los Angeles, California, although parts of the show are also expected to occur at the Dolby Theatre, and hubs have also been set up at some overseas locations for nominees who couldn't travel to California. The ceremony, of course, has still been dramatically altered by the pandemic. COVID-19 protocols are being implemented, with those in attendance being required to test negative for COVID-19 at least three times before the show, and the audience is limited to 170 people, according to Variety. The red carpet itself also certainly wasn't a full return to normalcy. “It's not a traditional red carpet,” Oscars producer Stacey Sher previously explained, per the Los Angeles Times. "It's a teeny tiny red carpet. ... Many of those [red-carpet] conversations will happen. They are just going to happen in a more intimate way among the nominees. It's a very small footprint for safety reasons, obviously." Still, major Hollywood stars being out and about on a red carpet was a notable sight, especially after the Emmys and Golden Globe Awards consisted of speeches being delivered remotely while winners accepted trophies from the comfort of their own homes.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has stepped up a campaign of interfering with the nation’s courts after they blocked some of his policy initiatives. One federal judge drew the president's wrath by issuing an injunction against López Obrador's move to limit private renewable and gas-fired energy plants, and a government plan to fingerprint cellphone users. Assistant Public Safety Secretary Ricardo Mejía called him a “bought” and “servile” judge, and López Obrador has asked the country's judicial review board to investigate him.
