Executives at Emergent BioSolutions, the company that had to throw out millions of vaccine doses after production issues at its Baltimore factory, have been accused of insider trading by a pension fund. It’s the latest shareholder lawsuit to hit the firm.

In March, The New York Times published an investigation into how Emergent BioSolutions gained outsize influence over the U.S. emergency medical reserve. nyti.ms/3xqLohG
The Times examined more than 40,000 pages of documents, some previously undisclosed, and interviewed more than 60 people with inside knowledge of the U.S. emergency stockpile, revealing a deeply dysfunctional system that may have cost lives. nyti.ms/3AwISs8
In April, we reported that out of the 150 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine the biotech firm had produced at its Baltimore factory at the time, none were usable. nyti.ms/3dNQVHm

The New York City mayor’s race plunged into chaos on Tuesday night when the city Board of Elections released a new tally of votes in the Democratic mayoral primary and then removed the tabulations, saying it had erroneously counted 135,000 test ballots. nyti.ms/3y0XQVk
The fiasco is just one in a long history of blunders by New York City’s Board of Elections. For decades, basically ever since its founding, critics have complained about the board's structure, its history of nepotism and its lack of accountability. nyti.ms/2Ui25wU
The New York City Board of Elections is staffed almost entirely by relatives and friends of political leaders, even the computer programmers. More than a dozen current and former employees said in 2020 that ineptitude is common and accountability is rare. nyti.ms/3qCWhdD

For some, Jan. 6 was just a rally for their president. For others, it was more.

The New York Times spent months collecting and analyzing footage from the Capitol riot. We scoured radio communications. We interviewed witnesses. Here’s what we found. nyti.ms/2Uci7Zw
Our investigation revealed at least eight locations where rioters breached the Capitol, more than previously identified.

In some, police battled rioters before being forcibly overwhelmed. In others, officers stepped aside.
We synchronized and mapped out thousands of videos to identify how a domino effect took hold of the mob that day. We tracked rioters from one side of the building around to the other, in an incident that left the Capitol completely surrounded.

Children are taught to identify traitors. Neighbors are urged to report one another. Officials are pressed to pledge their loyalty.

One year after it imposed a national security law, China has remade Hong Kong. This is how the city’s freedom was taken. nyti.ms/3h3T6Zi
Armed with the sweeping national security law it imposed one year ago, Beijing has pushed to turn Hong Kong into another mainland megacity, where dissent is immediately smothered. The very texture of the city’s once vibrant daily life is under assault. nyti.ms/3AfD1Hu
Teachers are told to imbue children with patriotism through 48-volume books called “My Home Is in China.” Libraries have removed dozens of books, including one about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Police officers goose-step in Chinese military fashion.

How unusual is the heat that’s been smothering the Pacific Northwest? Off the charts. nyti.ms/3h0XrN0
The recent extreme temperatures were widespread and intense, in some places surpassing records by double digits. This heat wave is also unusual because it occurred earlier than most. nyti.ms/3h0XrN0
Climate is naturally variable, so periods of high heat are to be expected. But in this case, scientists see the fingerprints of climate change, brought on by human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. nyti.ms/3h0XrN0

Alarms blared across an intensive care unit in Delhi, India. Over two dozen Covid patients on ventilators couldn’t breathe. Staff members did all they could, but it wasn’t enough — the hospital had run out of oxygen. Within seven hours, 21 people died. nyti.ms/3x60CIT
As a devastating second wave of Covid gripped India, hospitals ran out of beds and critical supplies, contributing to the deaths of untold thousands of people. By one count, oxygen shortages alone have killed at least 600 people over the past two months. nyti.ms/35ZKY5Q
Despite knowing how vulnerable the country was, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and local officials failed to prepare for the second wave in India, according to interviews and a review of government documents by The New York Times. nyti.ms/35ZKY5Q
