FOR THIS WEEK’S COVER PACKAGE ON THE MIGRAtion boom, TIME reporters traversed the globe interviewing refugees and immigrants. As these international migrants flee war, poverty, oppression and natural disasters in search of a better life, they are also upending politics and reshaping economies in the countries where they are landing. To help tell the human stories that can get lost in this larger global shift, we turned to photographer Davide Monteleone, who shot his subjects in front of a simple white vinyl backdrop. “Eliminating the desperate conditions in which migrants are generally depicted allows the viewer to reflect on the story of the individual rather than the stereotypical ideas surrounding the migratory experience,” Davide says of his approach. We also asked many of the migrants we met to illustrate…

IF THE FIRST MEETING WAS ABOUT MAKING friends, the second means getting down to business. The White House said Jan. 18 that President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will sit down before the end of February in an attempt to inject life into a denuclearization process that has stalled since their June summit in Singapore. If the second meeting is going to make a difference, Trump will need Kim to offer up something real. Over the past year, Kim has returned three U.S. hostages and the remains of troops killed during the Korean War, and destroyed a redundant nuclear testing site. But his nuclear and missiles programs have continued unabated. At the very least, Washington needs a full inventory of North Korea’s ballistic missiles and…

IF YOU KNOW ONLY ONE LINE OF MARY OLIVER’S POETRY, IT IS likely a question she posed, one that sums up the infectious wonder that ran through her verse like veins through a leaf. “Tell me,” the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet wrote in “The Summer Day,” “what is it you plan to do/ with your one wild and precious life?” Oliver, who had been treated for lymphoma, died at her home in Hobe Sound, Fla., on Jan. 17. She was 83 and a rarity even among poets. She was not merely prolific: the Ohio native published more than 20 volumes of verse, including American Primitive, the collection that won the Pulitzer in 1984. Her work also sold well. Writers borrowed her lines as epigraphs and readers held them close—and taped…

TUNISIA WILL FORever be remembered as the birthplace of the Arab Spring in 2011. That has been both a blessing and a curse for the country. The upside is that democracy and reform have become focal points of national pride in a region badly in need of both—especially after the architects of the transition won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015. The downside is that Tunisia’s halting progress continues to disappoint those who hope others will follow its path. Egypt’s retreat into dictatorship, Libya’s fragmentation and Syria’s catastrophic war make Tunisia that much more important for those who insist that the awakening continues. Eight years after the Arab Spring uprising, many Tunisians are angry at how their newly democratic state is faring Eight years after the uprising, many…

From where Violeta Monterroso stood, in a migrant encampment near one of Tijuana’s main border crossings, she could almost see San Diego, the shimmering American city just beyond the frontier fence. She could see American cars as they slid down a highway and disappeared toward a ghostly skyline, and she could imagine what lay almost within reach. But that promised land was also infinitely distant. From the Mexican side of the border, mired in inches of mud that reeked of broken portable toilets, the entire U.S. might as well have been a mirage. When Monterroso and her husband Cándido Calderón arrived in late November with their children, Kenia Jasmin, 12; Isaac, 11; and Yeimi, 9, they added their names to the bottom of a list in a thick book.…

WHEN KLAUS SCHWAB, THE founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, hosted the first summit in Davos in 1971, the global community was on the precipice of profound change. Mass poverty was endemic, computers were the size of Xerox machines, and globalization was still a theory taught to economics students. Forty-eight years on, the world is utterly transformed. Extreme poverty has halved over five decades, roughly 2.5 billion of us now carry supercomputers in our pockets, and globalization has become the bedrock of the modern economy. But once again, we are facing a period of tumultuous change. In the coming years, the 80-year-old Schwab predicts, our planet will undergo what he calls the fourth industrial revolution: an era of rapid innovation catalyzed by automation, artificial intelligence and…

Dear Davos delegates, Once again, you plutocrats are gathering above the rest of us, convinced you hold the key to solving problems you’ve caused. You meet to celebrate your plutocrat religion, Win-win-ism, which teaches that what’s best for the winners of our age is best for all. But we don’t believe you anymore. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg used to be a synonym for optimism. Now he’s a catastrophic joke—a boy-man who pledged to create community while destroying democracy, who said he’d end all disease even as his company became a plague. He may merely be an exaggeration of many of you. You enabled the nationalism that threatens our societies. You stiffed so many of us. You fought for rules that let you steal the future from our children. You pushed…

AT A BUDDHIST TEMPLE OUTSIDE HUE, VIETnam’s onetime capital, 92-year-old Thich Nhat Hanh has come to quietly “transition,” as his disciples put it. The ailing celebrity monk—quoted by Presidents and hailed by Oprah Winfrey as “one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our times”—is refusing medication prescribed after a stroke in 2014. He lies in a villa in the grounds of the 19th century Tu Hieu Pagoda, awaiting liberation from the cyclical nature of existence. At the gate, devotees take photos. Some have flown from Europe for a glimpse of Thay, as they call him, using the Vietnamese word for teacher. Since arriving on Oct. 28, he has made several appearances in a wheelchair, greeted by hundreds of pilgrims, though the rains and his frailty have mostly put…

IN 2012, FIXER OLIVIA POPE, PLAYED BY Kerry Washington, made her power-suit-clad debut, covering up D.C.’s bad behavior by day and sleeping with the President by night. Initially, many critics dismissed Scandal, Shonda Rhimes’ follow-up to Grey’s Anatomy, as a “guilty pleasure”—a loaded term that conjures images of women eating cartons of low-fat ice cream in front of the TV. But Rhimes proved that a show isn’t a guilty pleasure just because it stars a woman, and Olivia’s exploits won over a large audience: two seasons later, ABC made Scandal the cornerstone of a Thursday-night block of hit dramas produced by Rhimes. ‘It was, as we were told, “too girly.” So they passed.’ ABBI JACOBSON, recounting an early rejection of Broad City in her memoir Two weeks after…

MEDIOCRE MOVIES ARE a dime a dozen. But a picture like Serenity, absurd and lousy in too many ways to count, is a rarity to be savored. Matthew McConaughey plays manly man Baker Dill, the troubled captain of a small fishing boat who makes money by taking tourists out to sea for the day. You can tell he’s perpetually bummed out by the grayish whiskers that dot his chin; life’s misfortunes have sapped his will to shave. Baker Dill—with a name like that, you can’t call him just Baker—spends most of his time on land wandering through his tiny seaside town obsessing about catching some mythical giant fish that lives, perhaps, only in his head. Then a stylized femme fatale (Anne Hathaway), a woman from his past, shows up…

You describe your book as a “counternarrative” to the 1970 history Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. What was your reaction the first time you read it? It was in every Indian household, but I didn’t read it until college. I remember feeling both applauded and eradicated. It tries to draw attention to a legacy of injustice, but on the other hand it says the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 was the point at which Indian culture and civilization died, period. I remember reading that as a student at Princeton, far from home, missing my tribe and thinking how preposterous it was. ‘THE FACT REMAINS THAT OUR NATIONS WERE HERE BEFORE ANY EUROPEANS CAME ’ Was there a misconception you most wanted to set…

COUNTERFEIT CROWN In 1896, the Louvre said it had bought the golden tiara of an ancient Scythian king. Several years later, after experts raised questions, the crown was revealed to be a fake made by an Odessa goldsmith. FAKE FOSSILS Skull and jawbone fragments said to be found in a gravel pit in Piltdown, England, were unveiled in 1912 as the “missing link” in human evolution. Four decades later, new technology helped expose the fossils as forgeries. UNDER WRAPS In 1969, the Old Capitol Museum in Mississippi removed an Egyptian mummy that had been on display since the 1920s, after a medical student X-rayed it and realized it was composed of papiermâché and nails.…

FEW BARRIERS REMAIN that keep whole classes of Americans from serving in the military. On Jan. 22, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled to maintain one of the last such hurdles, allowing President Donald Trump’s policy on trans-gender troops to go into effect while a legal fight unfolds. The unsigned order isn’t a final decision—the Justices denied the Administration’s request for one—but it cleared a path for the Defense Department to enforce the rule, which bans most trans Americans from serving in the military and requires troops to serve “in their biological sex” or else be “presumptively disqualified.” That’s a win for the White House, which argued that military readiness and effectiveness were in jeopardy. (A 2016 RAND report found allowing trans troops would likely have “minimal…

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has directed America’s attention to the plight of its federal employees. But there is something worse and more fundamental happening. Over decades, this workforce has become overburdened, putting the country at greater risk than most of its citizens realize. After analyzing two decades of federal personnel data and conducting interviews and focus groups with employees before the shutdown, we concluded that the U.S. government may not be able to respond capably to a greater national crisis—or mount an adequate response if multiple domestic or foreign emergencies occurred at the same time. These findings, which we detail in a study published by the nonpartisan Senior Executives Association, should be cause for serious concern to all Americans. Regardless of whether you think the federal…

If you get extradited, what do you think will happen to you? I don’t know if they can kill me, because there will be so much pressure. But there have been lots of reports out there that they torture people in jails. What kind of torture would you expect? I have no idea. But I know that after that torture, I will not be able to play basketball again. What’s your main criticism of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Erdogan violates human rights. About 17,000 women and around 700 babies have been kept in jail. Turkey is the No. 1 country in the world for putting journalists into jail. I love my country. Turkey could be the bridge between modern Islam and the West. But now that’s impossible. Any message…

BUSINESSES ACROSS THE GLOBE are discovering the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI). Sompo, one of the leading insurance holding companies in Japan, recognized early on that AI would play a critical role in its data-intensive industry, so it has been experimenting with a variety of advanced AI technologies since 2015. It has already deployed AI in some areas, where it is delivering considerable value. Among Sompo’s AI endeavors are experiments that use automated machine learning to predict the onset of heart disease and disorders such as dementia. The company is also working on improving data-science productivity with automated machine learning; automating threat detection in cybersecurity; applying deep-learning algorithms for image-based cost assessment in automobile collision repair; and exploring applications for nursing-home care and patient safety. Several AI-based systems…

Age: 80 Position: Founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum Hometown: Born in Ravensburg, Germany. Moved with his family to Switzerland as a boy. Resides in Cologny, Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. Personal: “My great joy is to spend time in the Alps. For many years, I participated in the Engadin Skimarathon, a 26.2-mile cross-country ski race. Now, I still go hiking in the mountains during summer and start every day with a swim. It clears my head and gets me energized for the day.”…

THE MALE PILL The Pill may not be just for women soon. The U.S. National Institutes of Health is set to test male-hormone-halting gel that’s rubbed onto the back and shoulders. POSTDEATH PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS A holographic image of Roy Orbison, who died in 1988, toured in 2018. Amy Winehouse (died 2011) and Frank Zappa (1993) will hit the circuit as virtual entertainers in 2019. Performers’ contracts will more routinely include language covering who controls and profits from posthumous performances. WASTEWATER ON TAP El Paso, Texas, will launch a system that treats sewage water and channels it directly to residential drinking-water taps. The city has already cut individual water use by over 40% since 1985 through initiatives like paying residents to abandon green lawns. VIDEO-GAME SUPER BOWLS The…

BASIMA ABDULRAHMAN Sustainable architect, Iraq Basima Abdulrahman was studying at Auburn University in Alabama when ISIS took over swaths of her native Iraq in 2014. As the Iraqi army, backed by a U.S.-led coalition, fought the militants, dozens of towns, including much of Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, were destroyed. When Abdulrahman, 32, returned home after finishing her master’s in structural engineering, she saw a silver lining in the rubble of her beloved country. “When we rebuild, we can make sure we are using the right materials—efficient in terms of water and energy consumption,” she says. “There is an opportunity because we have so much rebuilding to do.” In 2017, she founded KESK, Iraq’s first initiative dedicated to green building, offering design and consulting services. Creating greener structures means…

THE BACON QUESADILLA IS compelling, crisp and not skimpy on the cheese. I taste it on a sunny October day in Newport Beach, Calif., where Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol is in a restaurant that doubles as a test kitchen, serving up some of the new items the fast-casual chain may soon offer. Possibilities include quesadillas, nachos, hibiscus lemonade, even avocado tostadas—an item designed to be on brand for any millennial who has dreamed of eco-snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez. But Niccol has plans for the company that go well beyond jazzing up the menu. Chipotle Mexican Grill was once the envy of entrepreneurs everywhere. Founded in 1993 by a classically trained chef, it grew from a single location in Denver into a billion-dollar burrito empire by 2006, the…

Amid the lavish and kinetic Paris art scene of the 1930s, Lee Miller is struggling to find herself. The young American model and budding photographer is also developing a relationship with the famous Surrealist artist Man Ray. In her debut novel, The Age of Light, Whitney Scharer examines their tumultuous real-life romance through the perspective of the woman who would go on to become a pioneering female war correspondent in World War II. Scharer, who won a reported seven-figure deal for the novel, skillfully renders an electric version of the city, pulling the reader into the opulence and mystery of the era. Miller starts out as Ray’s photography assistant but yearns for recognition as an artist herself. It’s a familiar tale: she finds herself repeatedly diminished as merely a…

Protests met with violence in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa called on Jan. 22 for a probe into alleged violence by security forces, after at least 12 people were killed and hundreds injured in the wake of protests that broke out after a fuel-price increase was announced. Supreme Court to hear gun case The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Jan. 22 to hear its first Second Amendment case in nine years—a move that may signal a willingness by the now majority-conservative court to weigh in on gun-control issues. The case, a challenge to a New York City rule restricting where some licensed gun owners can carry their weapons, will be heard next term. Gene-editing scientist reprimanded The Chinese scientist who claims he created the world’s first genetically edited babies…

DIED ▷ Russell Baker, the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer who wrote the “Observer” column for the New York Times for decades, on Jan. 21 at 93. ▷ Masazo Nonaka, who held the title of the world’s oldest man, at 113 years and 179 days, on Jan. 20.

Strength in numbers After the New York Times reported that President Trump was considering pulling the U.S. out of NATO, James Stavridis, who served as Supreme Allied Commander at the alliance, referenced Winston Churchill: “The only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them.” What to know when you don’t know After the debate over what did and didn’t happen at the confrontation between high school students and a Native American elder on the National Mall on Jan. 19, TIME’s Jeffrey Kluger advises: “If there are few QEDs and mostly WTFs, it’s just noise. Move on.” Re-electing a Republican Having surveyed thousands of Americans, the pollster Lord Michael Ashcroft argues the right’s best hope for 2020 is the possibility “that the spiral of indignation that has fueled…

Bring diversity to artificial intelligence BY FEI-FEI LI Artificial intelligence is the quest to build machines with human-like intellectual capabilities. But in an industry known for its struggles with representation, how can we ensure they’re inspired by the full range of human experience? Women make up only 12% of the AI research world and 26% of the tech workforce, while people of color fill less than 20% of leadership roles. My nonprofit, AI4ALL, is working to reverse this trend by bringing firsthand experience in university AI labs to students of high school age who often feel left out of tech: girls, ethnic minorities and residents of underserved communities. AI is a vast frontier with far more to explore than any single person, group or even nation can manage alone.…

IN 2015, A MAN NAMED NIGEL Richards won the title of French-language Scrabble World Champion. This was especially noteworthy because Richards does not speak French. What the New Zealander had done was memorize each of the 386,000 words in the entire French Scrabble dictionary, in the space of just nine weeks. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful metaphor for how artificial intelligence works—real AI, not the paranoid fantasies that some self-appointed “futurists” like to warn us about. Just as Richards committed vast troves of words to memory in order to master the domain of the Scrabble board, state-of-the-art AI—or deep learning—takes in massive amounts of data from a single domain and automatically learns from the data to make specific decisions within that domain. Deep learning can automatically optimize human-given…

Fauna Hodel grew up poor in Nevada, a light-skinned biracial girl with a black single mom. But as a teen in the mid-’60s, she learned that her real birth mother came from a rich, white family—with secrets. Inspired by Hodel’s life, I Am the Night, which premieres on Jan. 28 on TNT, follows Fauna (India Eisley) to California. There, her search for answers collides with that of hard-boiled crime reporter Jay Singletary (Chris Pine), whose history with the Hodels dates back nearly 20 years to the Black Dahlia murder. With its true-crime hook, its predatory men and its interest in identity, this is a period miniseries made for 2019. The Los Angeles of director Patty Jenkins’ (Wonder Woman) noir thrums with neon life. Sadly, the script doesn’t match the…

LEILA SLIMANI SAYS SHE’S NOT PARTICULARLY interested in shocking people. This is a somewhat surprising claim, since the book that made the French Moroccan novelist a best-selling star last year, The Perfect Nanny, began with two simple, devastating sentences: “The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds.” That novel, which echoed an infamous New York City “killer nanny” story, caused a sensation for its dissection of the relationship between mothers and those who care for their children, of the soul-crushing tedium of looking after small humans, of the fury that radiates between the have-it-alls and the have-not-enoughs. It earned the now 37-year-old, herself a mother of two, France’s top literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, in 2016. She is so well-regarded that President Emmanuel Macron has brought her…
