Your Friday Briefing – The New York Times

Ukraine investigates Trump’s allies

As the U.S. Senate formally opened President Trump’s impeachment trial on Thursday, Ukraine said it had begun a criminal investigation into allies of Mr. Trump who might have put an American diplomat under surveillance while she was the ambassador to Kyiv.

The investigation is an unusually bold move for Ukraine’s government, which has tried to stay out of the impeachment debate and needs Washington’s help in its conflict with Russia.

It centers on text messages that suggest Robert Hyde, an obscure Republican candidate for Congress, secretly tracked the movements of the diplomat, Marie Yovanovitch, whom Mr. Trump later removed from Ukraine.

Background: Lev Parnas, the Soviet-born businessman who exchanged the messages with Mr. Hyde, turned them over to congressional Democrats scrutinizing Mr. Trump’s campaign to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. Mr. Parnas had worked with Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, to oust Ms. Yovanovitch, whom the president’s allies considered an impediment.

Responses: In separate television interviews on Wednesday, Mr. Parnas said he had not taken Mr. Hyde seriously, and Mr. Hyde said the messages were “colorful texts” in which he was “joking around.”

Related: A nonpartisan U.S. government watchdog said the Trump administration had violated American law by withholding nearly $400 million in congressionally allocated security aid to Ukraine — a decision at the heart of the impeachment case.

All our coverage: No photos or videos are allowed in the Senate chamber, the venue for President Trump’s impeachment trial. So we sent a sketch artist.

The vote came a day after Mr. Putin shook up Russia’s political order, which had largely been unchanged since the early 1990s, by proposing major constitutional changes that would shift power from the presidency to Parliament and other institutions.

Parliament is seen as a rubber-stamp body, and this week’s rapid-fire developments could indicate that Mr. Putin, 67, plans to take a new position that would allow him to retain his grip on power. He has already been in power for 20 years, longer than any Russian leader since Stalin.

Looking ahead: Wednesday’s shake-up prompted Dmitri Medvedev, Mr. Putin’s long-serving ally, to abruptly resign the premiership. He will become deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, which advises the president.

Germany faces a tough choice on Huawei

Should Germany allow the Chinese company Huawei to help build its 5G next-generation mobile network? Berlin’s decision will shape its relations with China for years and signal how Europe views Washington’s digital rivalry with Beijing.

Saying yes could expose German automakers to potential tariffs from the U.S., which has blocked Huawei and believes China is using the company for espionage.

But China has become the biggest source of growth for Germany’s main carmakers. And because some of them are already working closely with Huawei, our correspondents write, “it may be China who sits in the driver’s seat.”

What’s next: Germany’s Parliament is expected to keep debating the Huawei matter in the coming weeks. Chancellor Angela Merkel opposes shutting the company out, but some in Germany’s foreign policy and intelligence community, who are worried about American threats to limit intelligence-sharing, may submit a proposal to effectively do just that.

Yesterday: Germany said, without elaborating, that it had raided the homes and offices of three people suspected of spying for China.

Catch up: We looked last month at how Huawei lays on the charm in Brussels.

A Jewish millennial in Germany

Max Czollek, above, is one of about 200,000 Jews who live in Germany. Most of them migrated there from the former Soviet Union after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but his grandfather was a Holocaust survivor who returned to East Germany in the late 1940s from exile in China.

Mr. Czollek, 32, is now an expert on anti-Semitism, and his 2018 book, “Desintegriert Euch” (“De-integrate Yourselves”), has been making waves in the country. It argues that Germany, eager to shed its Nazi past, isn’t reckoning with the rise of anti-Semitism, xenophobia and racism.

Here’s what else is happening

Quitting coal: Germany said that it would wean itself off the fossil fuel by 2038, at a cost of $44.5 billion. Environmental organizations said that timeline was too slow.

$1,000,000,000,000: The market capitalization of Google’s parent entity, Alphabet, surpassed $1 trillion for the first time, vaulting the company into a club that includes Apple, Amazon and Microsoft.

Wealth and longevity: A study by researchers in Britain and the U.S. found that wealthy people get eight to nine more “disability-free” years after 50 than the poorest individuals in those countries.

Controversial mustache: The facial hair of the American ambassador to Seoul reminds many South Koreans of their country’s colonial period, in which Japanese governors-general ​wore mustaches​.

Sinkholes

At least six passengers on a bus in Xining, China, died this week when the pavement collapsed under it.

Sinkholes, both natural and human-caused, are rare and rarely deadly. But they fascinate us because they seem to appear out of nowhere, and in unusual places.

A sinkhole opened up in 2013 under a home in Florida — where much of the ground base is limestone, a soluble rock — killing a man in his bedroom. Another, in 2014, swallowed eight cars at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. A sinkhole engulfed an entire building complex in Shenzhen, China, in 2013.

Natural sinkholes occur when underground water has insufficient drainage and begins to corrode the rock under the top layer of soil. Human causes include leaking or crumbling underground water pipes.

The damage gradually takes place under the surface, but when the layer at the top can no longer support itself, it can suddenly and violently give way.

A picture caption in yesterday’s briefing misidentified a location. The picture was taken on Piccadilly, not Oxford Street.

That’s it for this briefing. Have a great weekend.

Saudi Arabia will allow women to attend sports stadiums next year. They set up three stadiums in the cities of Jeddah, Dammam and Riyadh, where women can watch matches with their families.

Preparations according to the BBC include the establishment of restaurants, cafes and large screen screens inside the complex.

There are strict laws in the country where women can not travel or open a bank account without the consent of a husband or other man in the family. In the spring of this year, however, guardianship laws were mitigated, and women would not need male consent to visit a doctor or study.

Saudi Arabia to allow women into sports stadiums

Saudi Arabia will allow women into sports stadiums for the first time from next year, authorities said Sunday, in a landmark move opening up three previously male-only venues to families.

The ultra-conservative kingdom, which has some of the world's tightest restrictions on women, has long barred women from sports arenas by strict rules on segregation of the sexes in public.

The announcement is in line with powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's ambitious reforms shaking up the kingdom, including the historic decision to allow women to drive from next June.

Starting the preparation of three stadiums in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to be ready to accommodate families from early 2018,' the General Sports Authority said on Twitter

"Starting the preparation of three stadiums in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to be ready to accommodate families from early 2018," the General Sports Authority said on Twitter.

Restaurants, cafes and video screens would be set up inside the venues, the authority added.

 Last month hundreds of women were allowed to enter a sports stadium in Riyadh, used mostly for football matches, in a one-off event to celebrate Saudi Arabia's national day.

Sunday's announcement implies that women in Saudi Arabia will be allowed for the first time to attend sporting events inside stadiums alongside men.

Under the country's guardianship system, a male family member normally the father, husband or brother must grant permission for a woman's study, travel and other activities. But the kingdom appears to be relaxing some norms as part of its sweeping "Vision 2030" plan for economic and social reforms as it prepares for a post-oil era. Last month a royal decree said women would be allowed to drive. The kingdom is also expected to lift a public ban on cinemas and has encouraged mixed-gender celebrations something unseen before.

 'Moderate' Saudi Arabia 

"First women driving, now stadiums. What's next? Nightclubs?" said one Saudi Twitter user, echoing a deluge of social media comments expressing surprise over the accelerating pace of reforms.

In a rare public appearance last week Prince Mohammed pledged a "moderate" Saudi Arabia, long seen as an exporter of a brand of puritanical Islam espoused by jihadists worldwide.

Mohammed bin Salman, as he is well known, promised his kingdom will return to "what we were before a country of moderate Islam that is tolerant of all religions and to the world".

His comment, while unveiling plans for a $500-billion development zone, chimes with his public image of a bold liberal reformer in a conservative country where more than half the population is under 25. But his vision for a new Saudi Arabia is fraught with risks and could trigger a backlash from conservatives, analysts warn.

"Despite the bold statements, it is important to remember that the dominance of conservative thought since the late 1970's cannot be quickly reversed," said analysis firm Eurasia Group. 

"Ultraconservative and radical elements continue to pose risks."

The government appears to have clipped the wings of the once-feared religious police long accused of harassing the public with rigid Islamic mores who have all but disappeared from big cities. Some conservative clerics who for years staunchly opposed more social liberties for women have backpedaled and come out in favour of the decree allowing them to drive.
