Gabriela was born and raised in Condesa, a leafy central district of Mexico City. “It was a very nice, communal life,” the 36-year-old historian recalls, explaining how her family shared a car, walked to each other’s homes and knew all the shopkeepers. But, after the pandemic, the area changed fast. First, the empty next-door building was bought and renovated by an American. Then her local bakery was driven out, the locksmith moved away, and a café where workers had lunch was replaced by a fancy pizzeria and coffee shop. “It’s like Condesa has become just another neighbourhood of Manhattan,” Gabriela says.

Washington went nuts — and the White House went on the defensive — after lawmakers dumped more than 20,000 emails belonging to Jeffrey Epstein into the public domain on Wednesday. The central intrigue was the late financier’s relationship with the president, but there were other stories buried in the mass of documents. The emails are like a portal back to a lost Manhattan power scene. Mr. Epstein’s inbox was larded with boldface names — many of them now faded or forgotten — that once meant everything to status-obsessed New Yorkers. It was the world that Donald Trump came out of, and the one that Mr. Epstein had so effectively beguiled after having grown up in a middle-class household in Coney Island.

A Bangladesh war crimes court sentenced ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death on Monday, concluding a months-long trial that found her guilty of ordering a deadly crackdown on a student-led uprising last year. The ruling is the most dramatic legal action against a former Bangladeshi leader in decades and comes months ahead of parliamentary elections expected to be held in early February.

Japan has dispatched a senior envoy to try to ease tensions with China as stock markets in both countries fell after Beijing issued a travel warning to its citizens over the weekend. The share sell-off, which ripped through stocks in Japan’s retail and transport sectors, was fuelled by a warning from a leading economic think-tank that a sharp drop in Chinese visitors could reduce overall tourism spending by an annual ¥2.2tn ($14bn).

A classified Justice Department brief authorizing strikes on drug-smuggling boats describes fentanyl as a potential chemical weapons threat, according to a House member and another person familiar with the memo. The lengthy document by the department’s Office of Legal Counsel outlines the Trump administration’s still-secret legal justification for the continuing military operation, which has sparked sharp criticism from Democrats and some Republicans since the strikes began in September.
