Pakistan's Peshawar As supporters of imprisoned former leader Imran Khan marched into the capital of Pakistan on Monday to demand his release, the city was placed under lockdown. Following days of deadly confrontations between opposing sectarian factions, this is the most recent upheaval to strike this ally of the United States with nuclear weapons. An uncomfortable agreement between warring Sunni and Shia Muslim factions put an end to the violence on Sunday, but tales of skirmishes from the nation's frequently restless, mountainous northwest persisted. However, as that crisis subsided, police in the capital, Islamabad, started to battle with supporters of Khan, a former cricket star who is now the prime minister, and authorities rushed to block highways with shipping containers and rest...

Game 1 of the World Chess Championship began Monday morning with defending champion Ding Liren defeating 18-year-old sensation Gukesh Dommaraju in one of the largest athletic events in the world. Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the five-time champion who chose not to defend his title in 2022, is still missing from the world championship, which is still regarded as chess's main event. Grandmaster David Howell, Carlsen's close friend and one of the official match commentators in Singapore, said this year's world championship is remarkable but still has a special place in the chess world. According to Howell, it has long been the only element that distinguishes what has otherwise been a very haphazard tournament system. The world championship often has a great track record of identifying and honor...
