Here’s what else is happening

Egypt: Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, was buried at dawn on Tuesday in a furtive and closely guarded ceremony attended by his wife and two sons. Only one major newspaper there reported his death on its front page, under a headline that failed to mention he was a former president.

Congo: Hundreds of thousands of people have fled an explosion of ethnic violence in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo in the past two weeks, creating a new humanitarian emergency.

World soccer: Investigators in France detained Michel Platini, the former European soccer federation president, to question him about the awarding of the 2022 men’s World Cup to Qatar, a decision made almost a decade ago that continues to roil the sport.

Climate change: New York lawmakers have agreed to pass a sweeping climate plan that calls for the state to all but eliminate its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It would set one of the world’s most ambitious climate plans.

China: A family of Uighurs, a Muslim minority group in China, sought protection at the Belgian Embassy in Beijing. They were forcibly removed by the police, and the incident raises questions about the group’s very limited protections — even from Western democracies — against persecution by the Chinese government.
