AI Summary:
Turkish police used pepper spray, plastic pellets and water cannon against protesters. The demonstrations began last week following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. Imamaglu was jailed pending trial on corruption charges many see as politically motivated. Demonstrations involving hundreds of thousands of largely peaceful protesters have swept across major cities. Some demonstrations have been marred by violence as police used water cannons, tear gas, plastic pellets and pepper spray to breakup protests that have been banned in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Eleven journalists were arrested and sent to jail Wednesday after covering the protests. Protesters often say they have come out against Turkey's democratic backsliding and increasing authoritarianism. Imamoglu was confirmed as the CHP candidate for presidential elections.

AI Summary:
China offers itself to nations like Japan as a more reliable partner, its ships are pushing into their neighborhoods. China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, said China saw “great potential” for trade and stability if the three neighbors worked together. But even as the officials were talking, two Chinese Coast Guard ships had begun an unusual incursion into waters near disputed islands in the East China Sea. China's simultaneous pledges of friendship and deployment of armed ships reflect Beijing's strategy for dealing with a Trump administration that is rapidly recalibrating America's place in the world. On the one hand, as Mr. Trump alienates allies of the United States, including by imposing tariffs and, in Japan’s case, questioning the fairness of a defense treaty, China sees an opportunity to court those countries. That seems to be the case with Australia, which has had, at times China conducted a live-fire drill in the area for the first time, forcing civilian flights to reroute. Some analysts said the drills were probably a response to the Australian Navy’s frequent voyages in the South China Sea. Others said China could have been testing how the Trump administration would react. China has taken a similar hard-and-soft approach with South Korea and Vietnam. Japan says it is considering putting long-range missiles on its southwestern island of Kyushu. Japan says China has been sending more ships into waters near Senkaku islands. The latest incursion started before dawn on Friday, when two Chinese Coast Guard ships entered territorial waters around Minamikojima. It said China’s longest previous incursion, in 2023, had lasted almost 81 hours. A former Japanese Coast Guard commander called the recent incursion part of a strategy of attrition that began in 2010 when a Chinese fishing trawler rammed a Japanese coast Guard ship near the Senkakus. Citizenship Proof to Vote: Trump signed an executive order that will require proof of U.S. Citizenship on election forms, in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud. A growing number of international travelers say they are worried about feeling unwelcome or unsafe in America.

AI Summary:
Egyptian and American archaeologists have unearthed the huge tomb of an unknown pharaoh at an Egyptian necropolis. The tomb, which the researchers estimate is 3,600 years old, nearly 23 feet underground at Abydos, one of the oldest cities of ancient Egypt. It is the second discovery of a king’s tomb this year. Similarities between the newly unearthed tomb and the one discovered in 2014 have led the archaeologists to conclude that the as-yet-unknown pharaoh may have been an earlier member of the so-called Abydos dynasty. In the newly discovered tomb, painted scenes on plastered brickwork decorated the entrance to the limestone burial chamber, showing the goddess Isis and her sister Nephthys. But there were no identifiable skeletal remains at the a professor of archaeology at the University of Chicago called the excavation “highly significant” and said it would add to what little is known about “a fascinating period when Egypt was controlled by competing powers” The era was “politically enigmatic,” she said, defined by economic instability and warring kingdoms. It appeared to be “a phase of warrior pharaohs fighting it out” Archaeologists uncovered what may be the oldest existing example in the ancient Roman world of a mikvah. They have tentatively dated the structure to the late fourth or early fifth century. People in what we today call Honduras made avocados a part of their diets at least 10,000 years ago.

Israel’s 120-seat Parliament passed two laws after an overnight debate. The legislation revamps the committee that picks judges, including Supreme Court justices, in a way critics say will politicize the bench. Before the Hamas-led attack in October 2023 ignited the war in Gaza, Mr. Netanyahu had attempted similar legislation in the face of mass protests. Mr. Netanyahu gave a fiery address in which he contended his government’s policies would serve as a long-needed corrective to an unelected “deep state”.

AI Summary:
Auto tariffs are straining relations with U.S. Allies and deepening doubts about America’s reliability as a partner. President Trump’s unexpected plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on cars and car parts being imported into the United States will not only disrupt supply chains. Many of the countries most affected by the new levies are already reeling from the Trump team’s wanton disregard for free trade deals already signed. The Trump White House has made clear that it will use every tool of American power to extract what Mr. Trump sees as a better deal for Americans. Economists argue that the potential benefit of more auto factory jobs could take years to show up in the United States, and they may coincide with losses in other industries. But for countries that have spent decades trusting America and tying their economies and defense plans to Washington’s promises, this feels like a moment of reversal. In Asia, officials had hoped for softer tariff treatment based on factories already being built in the United States at great expense. But analysts said that his hands are tied: Because inflation is rising with a weakened Japanese yen, Japan simply cannot afford a trade spat that drives up consumer prices even further. South Korea has deepened its diplomatic and military dependence on the United States in recent years, as anti-Chinese sentiment rose among its people. South Koreans’ fundamental trust in the alliance will survive the latest tariffs, in part because the penalties didn’t target South Korea only but also hit competitors. But cars are one of South Korea’s biggest export items, totaling $71 billion last year. Automotive tariffs could squeeze an industry that has been struggling, especially in Germany. European Union officials said recently that they would place new tariffs on many American goods by mid-April. More potent measures could follow. Damien Cave leads The Times’ new bureau in Vietnam. Hyundai Motor will invest $21 billion to expand manufacturing in the United States.
