TOKYO — For nearly threedecades, millions of Japanesehave clamored for their every al-bum, lined up with breathless an-ticipation for their concerts andgathered on Monday nights fortheir hit television show.

Now, the nation is awash withanguish over word that SMAP —Japan’s longest-running boyband, if it can still be called thatwith its youngest member push-ing 40 — is splitting up.

The news has dominated news-paper headlines and televisiontalk shows since the band’s an-nouncement this month. Even the

mayor of Tokyo and two membersof Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’scabinet have weighed in. One saidhe was worried about the effect onthe Japanese economy, theworld’s third-largest.

“We will not let them stop!” agrieving fan wrote in one of morethan a dozen petitions on change-.org pleading with the aging heart-

throbs to remain together. “If welet them go and disband, it meansJapan is finished.”

CONSIDERING THE RISK What isknown, and what is not known,about the Zika outbreak and howthe virus is transmitted. PAGE A13

MIAMI — Amanda Paradiz is 16weeks pregnant, and she has amission: to get through her entirepregnancy without a single mos-quito bite.

It hasn’t been easy. Ever sincehealth officials announced in Julythat four cases of Zika transmis-sion by local mosquitoes were de-tected in a Miami-area neighbor-hood, Mrs. Paradiz and her hus-band, Alex, have largely secludedthemselves in their BrowardCounty home.

They canceled a vacation andhave stopped taking eveningstrolls around the lake and swim-ming in the neighborhood pool. Towalk the dog, Mrs. Paradiz, 35,wears long pants and a hoodie,even though, at times, it’s 90 de-grees outside. She has debatedquitting her job as a sales repre-sentative to avoid coming intocontact with a mosquito thatmight carry the Zika virus, whichcan lead to devastating birth de-fects including microcephaly, anabnormally small head.

“All it takes is one mosquito biteto change the entire course of ourlives,” Mrs. Paradiz said.

Now that a second zone of Zikatransmission has been found inthe Miami area — this one in Mi-ami Beach — pregnant womensay they feel vulnerable andfrightened, and they wonder how

MIAMI BEACH — With theZika virus spreading to MiamiBeach, federal health officials onFriday advised pregnant womennot to visit a 20-block stretch ofone of the country’s most alluringtourist destinations. They alsotold them to consider postponingtravel anywhere in Miami-DadeCounty.

The escalation of the Zika crisishere sent tremors through SouthFlorida’s vibrant tourist industryand stoked the fears of pregnantwomen, worried about the virus’sability to cause severe brain dam-age in newborn babies.

The travel advisory from theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention was prompted by thediscovery of a second zone of localZika transmission in an area be-tween Eighth and 28th Streets inMiami Beach that includes theheart of South Beach, a touristmecca. Officials said five people,including travelers from NewYork, Texas and Taiwan, were in-fected there. The other areawhere mosquitoes are spreadingthe virus is in the Miami neighbor-hood of Wynwood, a hip, gentrify-ing arts district.

Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, theC.D.C. director, warned at a newsbriefing on Friday that more casesof local Zika transmission arelikely to emerge in the other partsof the county. The agency he leadssaid in a statement that becauseso many people infected with Zikahave no symptoms, because thevirus can incubate for two weeksand because diagnosis of casescan take several weeks, “it is pos-sible that other neighborhoods inMiami-Dade County have activeZika transmission that is not yetapparent.”

A skillful piece of detectivework by health officials led themto zero in on Miami Beach onThursday morning after theyspotted an announcement from

Taiwan about a woman there whowas infected with Zika and hadvisited Miami Beach, said Dr. LyleR. Petersen, who is managing theC.D.C.’s Zika response. Beforethat, he said, health officials wereinvestigating a few cases of in-fected people who had been in Mi-ami Beach, but had also beenother places. The Taiwanesewoman, in contrast, had stayednear her hotel on Miami Beachthroughout her visit, enablingthem to establish where she wasinfected. The other four peoplehad all been in the same vicinity.

JANE HAHN FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Ithad been more than a month, andDije Ali was still locked in a mili-tary prison with her seven chil-dren.

She had thought they were be-ing taken to safety. Her family andother villagers had been low onfood and feared that Boko Haramwas closing in. They ran to Ni-gerian soldiers for protection.

“Get in the vehicle,” Ms. Ali re-called the soldiers telling them.

But instead of being whisked tofreedom, she said, her familywound up in a military detentioncenter with 130 other women andtheir children, uncertain whenthey would be released — and whythey were there.

“I didn’t know what I’d donewrong,” she said. “I was just pray-ing God would get us out.”

Here in northeastern Nigeria,soldiers are fighting a brutal bat-tle with Boko Haram, the Islamistextremist group that has terror-ized the region for years with itscampaign of murder, kidnapping,rape and thievery.

But in its aggressive hunt forBoko Haram fighters, the Ni-gerian military has ensnared anddetained scores of civilians, in-cluding toddlers and infants, forweeks or months. And sometimes,activists say, innocent people arenever heard from again.

Nearly 150 people have died thisyear in just one of the detentioncenters, Giwa barracks, whereMs. Ali was held with her family,according to Amnesty Interna-tional.

Eleven of the dead were chil-dren younger than 6, including

four babies, it said. This spring theprison held 1,200 people, at least120 of them children, Amnestyfound.

“Many were arbitrarilyrounded up during mass arrests,”the group said, “often with no evi-dence against them.”

Nigeria, which denies theclaims, is not the only country inthe region criticized as going toofar in the fight against BokoHaram. Cameroon has been ac-cused of detaining 1,000 peoplesuspected of supporting Boko

Haram, many arrested arbitrarily,in horrific conditions that havecaused some to die from diseaseand malnutrition.

The Nigerian military says itdetains people it suspects of beingBoko Haram sympathizers — in-cluding people who have been kid-napped — to weed out anyone whomight be dangerous.

Officials have reason to be sus-picious: Boko Haram has man-aged to turn captives into suicidebombers, including children asyoung as 8. Mothers, boys, girlsand other suicide bombers havekilled hundreds of people, strikingcrowds at markets, schools andeven camps for people who fledtheir homes to escape BokoHaram’s violence.

It can be charming, but alsomaddening for riders who feelthat drivers do not understandwhere they want to go. Don’t youhave to speak English, some won-der, to drive a taxi here?

As of Friday, the answer is no.That is when new rules went

into effect eliminating the require-ment that taxi drivers take anEnglish proficiency exam. Now,the test for a taxi license is avail-able in several languages, to ac-commodate non-English speak-ers.

The sponsors of a City Councilbill to remove the English test ar-gued that the requirement was abarrier for would-be drivers fromimmigrant communities whowere looking for work. But theshift has prompted concerns over

On Friday, the chaos devouredhim.

Weeks of sliding poll numbersand false starts had sapped Mr.Manafort’s credibility inside thecampaign. A cooling relationshipwith Mr. Trump — who had takento calling Mr. Manafort “low ener-gy,” the epithet he once used tomock a former rival, Jeb Bush —turned hot last weekend when thecandidate erupted, blaming Mr.Manafort for a damaging newspa-per article detailing the cam-paign’s internal travails, accord-ing to three people briefed on theepisode.
