What’s next: Lysychansk offers Russia a base to mount offensives on cities to the southwest. Yesterday, the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk suffered its heaviest shelling.

Officials are urging people to keep their air-conditioners running to avoid heat stroke, though doing so could lead to potential power shortages. Japan’s aging population is especially vulnerable to heat stroke and exhaustion, and officials have attributed a number of deaths to the heat. Hospitalizations are also rising: Officials said that over 4,500 people with symptoms of heat stroke and exhaustion were taken to hospitals in ambulances in recent days, more than four times the number from the same period a year ago. Most patients were 65 or older. Data: In Tokyo on Saturday, temperatures exceeded 95 degrees Fahrenheit — about 35 Celsius — for the eighth straight day. The capital has only seen such a streak once before since 1875, when record-keeping began. Context: Japan is vulnerable to power blackouts in periods of high demand because it [relies heavily on liquefied natural gas](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkpIiGP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNC8yNy9idXNpbmVzcy9qYXBhbi1lbmVyZ3ktdWtyYWluZS13YXIuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyMjA3MDQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NjU3MzEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTc1NDUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmKyhgPCYhnb60lSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), which is hard to stockpile, and which has become more expensive since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. “Changing the society’s mindset is a big challenge,” said Bindiya Rana, left, a transgender community leader in Karachi.Saiyna Bashir for The New York Times Pakistan’s debate on trans rights Four years ago, Pakistan became one of the few countries to protect transgender people’s rights in statute. It enacted a law that prohibits discrimination in schools, workplaces and public settings, and guarantees the right to choose one’s gender on official documents. Initially, some emerged from the shadows. But recently, [violence has surged](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkpIiGP0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNy8wMi93b3JsZC9hc2lhL3Bha2lzdGFuLXRyYW5zLXJpZ2h0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIyMDcwNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD02NTczMSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD05NzU0NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYrKGA8JiGdvrSVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). In a spate of attacks in March, four transgender people were killed and others were injured in the northwest. Enforcement of the law is also inconsistent. The legislation calls for the establishment of protection centers, where trans people can access mental health services, legal services and temporary housing. But only one has opened so far, in Islamabad, the capital. And discrimination remains common. Many people live as they did before 2018, hiding their identities, shunned by their families, denied medical care and huddling together in group homes for safety. Data: Pakistan has recently averaged about 10 homicides of transgender people annually, according to the [Trans Murder Monitoring](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkpIiGP0TraHR0cHM6Ly90cmFuc3Jlc3BlY3Qub3JnL2VuL21hcC90cmFucy1tdXJkZXItbW9uaXRvcmluZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjIwNzA0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTY1NzMxJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTk3NTQ1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpisoYDwmIZ2-tJUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) project.

Some are similar to Earth — roughly the same size, made of rock rather than gas and orbiting in a “Goldilocks zone” around their star, not so close as to get cooked but not so far as to be frozen. The relatively small size of these exoplanets has made them extremely difficult to study, until now. The James Webb Space Telescope, launched last Christmas, will change that, acting as a magnifying glass — gathering signals as faint as a few photons per second — to let astronomers look more closely at these worlds.
