The United States and six other major world powers warned Iran on Friday not to provide ballistic missiles to Russia to aid Moscow’s war against Ukraine and threatened to retaliate if it does by cutting off Iranian air travel to Europe, among other measures.The Group of 7 nations issued the warning in a statement coordinated with the White House in hopes of making Tehran think twice before arming Russia even further at a time when American security aid to Ukraine remains blocked in Congress by Republican leaders, who are following the lead of former President Donald J. Trump.The Reuters news…

Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Emmanuel Macron of France met in Berlin on Friday looking to smooth over their differences on how to support Ukraine in its war with Russia and allay concerns that the Franco-German “engine of Europe” is sputtering.The meetings ended in smiles, but offered little in the way of substance on the matters over which Berlin and Paris have been at odds.At a news conference, Mr. Scholz announced new measures that built on recent meetings, such as a pledge to speed up purchases of arms for Ukraine, including tapping the world market — a slight shift from…

O eso creía yo. Lo que nadie te dice sobre el matrimonio es que sus verdades son escurridizas.Cuando terminó la guerra de Afganistán y pasamos a una vida familiar más rutinaria, había echado de menos a Andrew durante tanto tiempo que lo que me faltaba había empezado a agotarse. Me di cuenta de que me había sentido abandonada durante años, quizá desde que él había hecho aquella cruda declaración en la consulta del terapeuta. Y lo había extrañado tanto en casa que no estaba segura de cuál era su lugar. Pero yo quería que lo encontrara.Por suerte, lo encontró. Estaba…

“I always tell my kids, the more you mess about, the more you find out,” she said, using a fruitier term than “mess.”“Quite quickly, I realized that work was something I needed,” she said, “and I think I had a sense it was actually going to be within fashion,” even if she knew she didn’t want to go back to what she had done. In most big houses, designers’ jobs end at the runway. They don’t oversee the ad campaigns or the merchandising or the store design. Ms. Philo wanted to have fingers in all of that. Even if independence…

Famous artists are a favorite subject for documentaries right now — probably because people love to watch them. And there are a lot of different ways to tell the story of someone’s life; the more famous they were, the more tools at the filmmaker’s fingertips.Take, for instance, the new documentary “Remembering Gene Wilder,” a uniformly affectionate look at the life and work of the comic actor who died in 2016. (The film opens in theaters in New York on Friday, followed by a national expansion.) Though he did perform onstage, Wilder’s most memorable work was in films like “The Producers,”…

Linda Roth, a spokeswoman for World Central Kitchen, said that the Open Arms had docked at a newly built jetty on the Gaza coast and that workers were beginning to move the food onto land. It remained unclear how the food would be distributed to Palestinian civilians.The food on the ships is desperately needed in Gaza, where officials say around two dozen children have already died from malnutrition, and hundreds of thousands of others are “one step away from famine,” according to the United Nations. But delivering aid by sea is nowhere near as efficient as delivering it by land,…

A volcano erupted with little notice in southern Iceland on Saturday night, the latest in a string of eruptions in the area, threatening local infrastructure and leading the authorities to declare a state of emergency.Lava fountains burst out of the ground, and a nearly two-mile long fissure opened up on the Reykjanes Peninsula at about 8:30 p.m., the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. The eruption occurred near the town of Grindavik, the Svartsengi Power Plant and the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most famous tourist attractions.The meteorological office said that it had only received indications of a possible eruption about 40…

In Ms. Reis’s childhood neighborhood — which she described as “neither good nor bad” — she was “the token Native kid, with thick Harry Potter glasses and braid ties.” Other children picked on her, sometimes calling her Pocahontas.Growing up, there were signs of a future career in acting. As a child, she dressed up in her mother’s clothes and performed one-person plays, with protagonists inspired by the people she met on the streets of East Providence, R.I., her hometown. One character in particular, Mary, was “based on the older ladies who smoked Newport 100s and drank Dunkin’ Donuts all day.”“How…

For five days starting on March 29, people who buy tickets to certain movies at certain AMC Theaters will see video messages starring … Jason Blum?It’s a long way from Nicole Kidman, whose breathy “We come to this place for magic” branding spot has become legend. But Mr. Blum, a horror film producer, has been working to build his entertainment company, Blumhouse, into more of a consumer-facing brand. The goal is to create an association between its name and everything scary, sort of like Marvel and superheroes. That, in turn, could make Blumhouse more valuable as an acquisition target in…
