Corrections: June 15, 2025
An article on Nov. 10 about Uyghur refugees described inaccurately an internal Chinese government spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contained the names of more than 16,000 people, not 17,743 Uyghurs. (Close to 1,000 entries on the spreadsheet appear to be duplicates. And some entries appear to represent Kazakhs, not Uyghurs.)
An article this weekend on Page 12 about six hidden shops in New York misstates the profession of Daniel Corral-Webb, a co-founder of Archivio Records. He is a D.J., not a designer. The article also misstates the online presence of High Valley Books. The shop does have a website.

A timeline of the rise of Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his legal troubles
For more than two decades, Sean 'Diddy' Combs was one of hip-hop's most nimble entrepreneurs, spinning his hitmaking talents into a broad business empire that included a record label, a fashion brand, a TV network, deals with liquor companies and a key role in a reality TV show. Then he was charged with forcing, threatening and manipulating two ex-girlfriends into drug-fueled sex marathons, with assistance from a network of associates. Combs denied the allegations and went to trial in a high-stakes federal sex crimes and racketeering case. The trial ended Wednesday with a verdict that his attorneys called a victory: Combs was convicted of prostitution-related offenses but acquitted of higher-level charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Here is a timeline of major events in his life story: 1990-1999 1990: Combs, then a student at Howard University, gets his start in the music business with an internship at Uptown Records in New York. Dec. 28, 1991: Nine people die at a celebrity basketball game promoted by Combs and the rapper Heavy D when thousands of fans try to get into a gym at the City College of New York. A mayoral report lays part of the blame for the catastrophe on poor planning by Combs. 1992: Combs is one of the executive producers on Mary J. Blige's debut album, 'What's the 411?' 1993: After being fired by Uptown, Combs establishes his own label, Bad Boy, which quickly cuts a lucrative deal with Arista Records. 1994: Bad Boy releases Notorious B.I.G.'s album 'Ready to Die.' Two months later, Tupac Shakur survives a shooting in New York and accuses Combs and Biggie of having prior knowledge of the attack, which they deny. Shakur was later killed in a 1996 shooting in Las Vegas. 1996: Combs is convicted of criminal mischief after he allegedly threatened a photographer with a gun. 1997: Biggie is killed in Los Angeles. Combs, then known as Puff Daddy, releases 'I'll be Missing You' in honor of his dead star. 1998: Combs wins two Grammys, one for best rap album for his debut 'No Way Out' and another for best rap performance by a duo or group for 'I'll Be Missing You' with Faith Evans. Also that year, Combs' Sean John fashion line is founded. April 16, 1999: Combs and his bodyguards are charged with attacking Interscope Records music executive Steve Stoute in his New York office in a dispute over a music video. Combs is sentenced to an anger management course. Dec. 27, 1999: Combs is arrested on gun possession charges after he and his girlfriend at the time, Jennifer Lopez, fled a shooting that wounded three people at a New York City nightclub. Some witnesses tell police Combs was among the people shooting in the club. He is later charged with offering his driver $50,000 to claim ownership of the 9 mm handgun found in his car. 2001-2008 March 17, 2001: Combs is acquitted of all charges related to the nightclub shooting. One of his rap protégés, Jamal 'Shyne' Barrow, is convicted in the shooting and serves nearly nine years in prison. Two weeks after the trial, Combs announces he wants to be known as P. Diddy. (Barrow also later changed his name, to Moses Barrow, and became a parliamentarian in his native Belize). 2002: Combs becomes the producer and star of 'Making the Band,' a talent search TV show. Feb. 1, 2004: Combs performs at the Super Bowl halftime show along with Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and others. A week later, Combs, Nelly and Murphy Lee win a Grammy for best rap performance by a duo or group for 'Shake Ya Tailfeather.' April 2004: Combs makes his Broadway acting debut in 'A Raisin in the Sun.' 2005: Combs announces he is changing his stage name to Diddy, getting rid of the P. March 2008: Combs settles a lawsuit brought by a man who claims Combs punched him after a post-Oscar party outside a Hollywood hotel the previous year. In May, Combs is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 2015-2022 2015: Combs is arrested after a confrontation on the campus of UCLA, where one of his sons played football. Assault charges are later dropped. 2016: Combs launches a Harlem charter school, the Capital Preparatory School. Also that year, he announces he is donating $1 million to Howard University. 2017: Combs is named the top earner on Forbes' list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities, which says he brought in $130 million in a single year. 2018: Kim Porter, Combs' former girlfriend and the mother of three of his children, dies from pneumonia at age 47. 2022: Combs receives a lifetime honor at the BET Awards. 2023-2025 Sept. 15, 2023: Combs releases 'The Love Album — Off the Grid,' his first solo studio project since 2006's chart-topping 'Press Play.' Nov. 16, 2023: R&B singer Cassie sues Combs, alleging that during their decade-plus as a couple, he subjected her to abuse, including beatings and rape. A day later, the lawsuit is settled under undisclosed terms. Combs, through his attorney, denies the accusations. Nov. 23, 2023: Two more women accuse Combs of sexual abuse in lawsuits. Combs' attorneys call the allegations false. Dozens of additional lawsuits follow by women and men who accuse Combs of rape, sexual assault and other attacks. Plaintiffs include singer Dawn Richard, a 'Making the Band' contestant who alleged years of psychological and physical abuse. Combs denies all the allegations. March 25, 2024: Federal agents search Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, Florida. May 17, 2024: CNN airs video that shows Combs attacking and beating Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016. Two days later, Combs posts videos on social media apologizing for the assault. Sept. 16, 2024: Combs is arrested at his Manhattan hotel. A federal sex trafficking and racketeering indictment unsealed the next day accuses him of using his business empire to coerce women into participating in sexual performances. Combs denies the allegations. His attorney calls it an unjust prosecution of an 'imperfect person.' May 5, 2025: Jury selection begins for Combs' trial. May 12, 2025: A jury is selected and testimony begins in Combs' trial. June 30, 2025: Jury deliberations begin in Combs' trial. July 2, 2025: The jury convicts Combs of two counts of a prostitution-related offense but acquits him of higher-level charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The outcome significantly reduces the rap mogul's potential prison sentence, which a judge will determine in the months to come. His lawyers unsuccessfully ask for him to be released on bond in the meantime. Combs is visibly relieved by the verdict, and his lead lawyer calls it 'a victory of all victories.'

Source: Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz placed on leave due to MLB betting investigation
CHICAGO — Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz has been placed on 'non-disciplinary paid leave' through the end of the All-Star break as a result of an MLB investigation, with multiple sources telling The Athletic that the probe is related to gambling. The league announced that Ortiz would be placed on leave Thursday morning; MLB said in a statement it would not comment further until the conclusion of the investigation. Advertisement Ortiz had been scheduled to start for the Guardians on Thursday night against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Joey Cantillo was promoted from Triple-A Columbus to start instead. The Guardians released the following statement: 'The Guardians have been notified by Major League Baseball that Luis Ortiz has been placed on leave per an agreement with the Players Association due to an ongoing league investigation. The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time, and will respect the league's confidential investigative process.' In 2024, MLB banned San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for life for betting on his own team. The league also suspended four other players for a year for betting on baseball. MLB umpire Pat Hoberg was also fired earlier this year after it was learned that he shared sports betting accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games. Ortiz, acquired in a trade with the Pirates in November, owns a 4.36 ERA in 16 starts this year. The 26-year-old played for Pittsburgh from 2022-24.

Ukraine kills Russian navy's No. 2 commander in strike, but officials worry about Trump's military aid cuts
Behind U.S. decision to hold back some weapons shipments to Ukraine Why U.S. held back some weapons for Ukraine Why U.S. held back some weapons for Ukraine The deputy commander of Russia's navy, Major General Mikhail Gudkov, was killed by a Ukrainian missile strike in the far-western Russian city of Kursk, a state-linked Russian news outlet said on Thursday. Gudkov, who previously commanded a Russian marine unit involved in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, died of injuries sustained in the strike on a military administration building, according to the AiF website. Russia's Ministry of Defense provided no details, but confirmed that Gudkov died "during combat operations in one of the border areas of the Kursk region." An image shared by Russia's Ministry of Defense shows Major General Mikhail Gudkov, the deputy commander of the Russian navy, whom the ministry said was killed during combat with Ukraine on July 2, 2025, in the western Russian city of Kursk. Telegram/Russian Ministry of Defense Ukrainians saw it as a boost to morale at the end of a difficult week. The Trump administration said Tuesday that it had paused some weapons deliveries to Ukraine, prompting alarm in Kyiv, uncertainty among America's NATO allies, and some crowing from Moscow. The White House did not confirm which weapons were being pulled from delivery, or the scale of the reduction in U.S. military support for Ukraine. The announcement came about a week after President Trump met with his Ukrainian counterpart, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a NATO summit in the Netherlands. Speaking after their meeting, Mr. Trump said he was considering sending additional Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine to help strengthen the country's air defenses against Russia's bombardment. "They do want to have the anti-missile missiles … the Patriots," Mr. Trump told reporters after his meeting with Zelenskyy, "and we're going to see if we can make some available." He added that the Patriots were, "hard to get." Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said it invited U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission in Kyiv John Ginkel to the ministry on Wednesday to stress that "any delay or procrastination in supporting Ukraine's defense capabilities would only encourage" Russia to continue its war, rather than to seek the peace that Mr. Trump has said many times he wants to help usher. President Trump said in a Thursday morning post on his Truth Social media platform that he would speak later in the day with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone. "Ukraine has not received any official notifications about the suspension or revision of the delivery schedules of the agreed defense assistance, so we proceed from the actual data and check the details of each element in the delivery," Ukraine's Defense Ministry said in a statement Wednesday. Zelenskyy said in a video statement that Ukraine was seeking to clarify details of any change in defense support from the U.S. CBS News' Margaret Brennan reported Thursday that Mr. Trump and Zelenskyy were to hold a phone call on Friday to discuss the war after the announcement of the reduction in U.S. weapons deliveries. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the urgency of sustained military backing in a social media post, saying "the only way to force Russia to end the war is to increase pressure on Moscow and strengthen Ukraine." Moscow's reaction was also swift, and decidedly more optimistic. Chief Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the news from the White House, "a logical and overdue step," suggesting that Western fatigue with the war in Ukraine would only grow. "The less weapons are supplied to Ukraine, the closer the end of the Special Military Operation is," Peskov said, according to TASS, using the Kremlin's term for the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022. Severely damaged residential buildings are seen in Kyiv, Ukraine, after a direct strike by a Russian missile, June 17, 2025. ORI AVIRAM/Middle East Images/AFP/Getty NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledged during the summit last week that the Trump administration needed to prioritize U.S. weapons inventories, but he stressed that Ukraine depends heavily on American hardware — especially ammunition and air defense systems — and he urged Washington to remain flexible, and called on Europe's NATO members to increase contributions for Ukraine. "It's a clear message to step up our own support," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters this week, "ramping up our European defense capacities, not only at the level of the European Union, but at the continental level." Kyiv and several other major Ukrainian cities have faced an escalating barrage of missile and drone attacks over the last month, sometimes overwhelming the country's air defense systems and causing significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. Over the weekend, Russia launched what Ukrainian officials called the biggest aerial attack of the war, hitting energy facilities, residential areas and military infrastructure in a coordinated strike involving dozens of missiles and Iranian-made attack drones. Ukrainians say the surge in airstrikes has underscored their need for strengthened air defenses.
