THE WORK OF JOURNALISM HAS ALWAYS MEANT COPING with a certain amount of despair, but the past few weeks have been particularly unrelenting. From the shooting in Las Vegas and the hurricanes in Puerto Rico to our cover package this week on the horrific misconduct of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, the headlines have been a sobering reminder of what nature can inflict on humanity, and what humanity can inflict on itself. So it is a pleasure this week to have a hopeful story in the mix: Next Generation Leaders, a biannual project we began four years ago in partnership with Rolex that spotlights rising artists, activists, athletes, scientists and entrepreneurs. “One of the joys of reporting on these pioneers,” says Europe editor Dan Stewart, who oversees the list, “is seeing…

Russian operatives reportedly spent tens of thousands of dollars on ads across Google products, including YouTube and Gmail, in an attempt to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election. The company said it was investigating attempts to abuse its systems. Kim Jong Un promotes his sister North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promoted his sister Kim Yo Jong, the youngest daughter of late leader Kim Jong Il, to make her a member of the Workers’ Party’s politburo, the country’s top decisionmaking body, amid a wider reshuffle. Another rally in Charlottesville White nationalists once again congregated in Charlottesville, Va., for a torch rally on Oct. 7, less than two months after the college town descended into chaos when clashes broke out between self-styled “alt-right” groups and antifascist protesters.

Hurricane Nate drenches the South Hurricane Nate made landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi, bringing with it floods and power outages across the Gulf Coast. The storm was the fourth to hit the continental U.S. this year and killed at least 22 people in Central America. Merkel agrees to refugee limits German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed to limit the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the country on humanitarian grounds to 200,000 per year. Merkel’s agreement came as she prepared to discuss forming a new coalition with the Greens and Free Democrats. India: Child-bride sex counts as rape India’s Supreme Court ruled Oct. 11 that if a man has sex with a wife under the age of 18, it counts as rape. The ruling struck down a controversial legal clause…

I grew up with nuclear civil-defense drills. I was told to duck under my wooden desk if I saw a bright light. When I would visit my father in Hollywood, he had a bomb shelter at his house. It was part of our consciousness early on Today nine nations together have 15,000 nuclear weapons. Each is led by a fallible human who is capable of making a mistake that could end the world as we know it. The U.S. President, all by himself, is able to launch nuclear weapons within four minutes of his command; no one can overrule him. I’ve felt for a long time that we aren’t talking about these risks enough. But with Kim Jong Un in North Korea and Donald Trump in the White House, we…

‘POWER WAS THE MEANS, THE MOTIVE AND THE COVER-UP.’ —PAGE 29 THE CONCEPT OF THE CASTING COUCH IS AS OLD as Hollywood itself, and the tacit code of silence about it is just as old. Actresses who have been propositioned—or worse—by moguls have long opted to remain silent for fear of losing parts. When you’re a rabbit caught in the jaws of a lion, going limp at least gives you a chance of survival. ‘I opened the door terrified, brandishing my 20-lb. Chihuahua mix in front of me, as though that would do any good.’ MIRA SORVINO, to the New Yorker In a better world than the one we live in, any performer coerced in this way—made to feel that her career hinged on her sexual compliance at the hands…

I HAVE LIVED IN VAGUE FEAR OF HARVEY Weinstein for over 20 years, ever since the incidents I described in the New Yorker. At the time I don’t think I even knew that what happened—Weinstein using business-related situations to try and press himself sexually on a young woman in his employ— qualified as sexual harassment. Coming forward with my story has been a real struggle. But as a woman who routinely advocates for women and girls who have been victimized in my role as a U.N. goodwill ambassador, and as a mother, I could no longer remain silent. At the time, I told people close to me and tried to confide in a female employee at Weinstein’s company, Miramax. Her reaction was as though I was suddenly radioactive for daring…

The regime of Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is not tolerant of a free media. Journalists can disappear on their way home from work, a Facebook post can land a person in prison, and over 400 websites are blocked. The country is now the third largest jailer of journalists on earth, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. As other news organizations in Egypt censor themselves to avoid trouble, one website, Mada Masr, has carved out a niche as one of the only truly independent newsrooms in the country. “We’re not the ones keeping freedom of expression alive,” says editor in chief Lina Attalah, 35. “But we’re definitely contributing to the preservation of that margin.” Under Attalah’s leadership, Mada Masr has earned a reputation for being fearless, running blockbuster corruption…

Richard Casper was patrolling an Iraqi road at dawn in February 2007 when a blast lifted his humvee off the ground in a flash of light. The U.S. Marine had been hit with an improvised explosive device for the fourth time in four months, and for the third time he suffered a concussion. The blasts left Casper with traumatic brain injury, and when he returned home to Bloomington, Ill., he struggled with posttraumatic stress, anxiety and depression. To cope with difficult memories, like watching as a fellow Marine was shot and killed next to him, Casper turned to art. Through paintings and sculptures, he could finally relay what he was feeling. “Art ended up changing my life,” says Casper, 32, who now lives in Nashville. In 2013, he co-founded CreatiVets,…

EVERY FAMILY IS A TINY NATION UNTO itself, with its leaders, its laws and its geopolitics. Each has its natural resources and its internal challenges. The family of President Donald Trump seems to have been a place where its citizens Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric could flourish: for rich kids, they’re remarkably industrious and polite. A new book says that is due not to their founding father but to their mother. “Some people—including Hillary Clinton— consider [the kids] to be Donald Trump’s finest accomplishments,” writes Ivana Trump, the President’s first and so far longestserving wife, in her new book, Raising Trump (Gallery Books), which came out on Oct. 10. “I believe the credit for raising such great kids belongs to me.” No other sittingU.S. President has ever had an ex-wife…

BREATHE, THE DIRECTORIAL debut from actor Andy Serkis (War for the Planet of the Apes), may look like one of those fortifying triumphover- adversity movies that you think you can skip. Not so fast: it’s really the kind of quiet, handsome romantic drama that everyone has forgotten how to make—or is afraid of trying to make. It’s also based on a true story. Andrew Garfield plays Robin Cavendish, a tea broker in 1950s England who’s stricken with polio at age 28. Paralyzed from the neck down, he’s unable to breathe without a ventilator. Yet Robin and his young wife Diana (Claire Foy), who’s pregnant when her husband falls ill, build a life together despite astonishing limitations. Cavendish would become a lifelong advocate for the disabled, and the film’s tone is…

Sure, Dustin Hoffman caught his big break 50 years ago seducing a lonely mom in The Graduate. But some of the actor’s most memorable roles have been as fathers of all varieties: doomed (Death of a Salesman), beleaguered (Kramer vs. Kramer), overly hug-prone (Meet the Fockers). The two-time Oscar winner’s latest onscreen patriarch is Harold Meyerowitz, a megalomaniacal sculptor in Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) streaming on Netflix and in theaters now. Hoffman, 80, talked to TIME about getting in—and out of—character and what he’s learned about acting from his relationships with his own family. ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER HARRY We had the same birthday. When he turned 80, I turned 50. We were at the beach walking along the shore, and I said, “So,…

‘HOW DO I GET OUT OF THE ROOM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ALIENATING HARVEY WEINSTEIN?’ ASHLEY JUDD, actor, describing how trapped she felt when she was in producer Harvey Weinstein’s Beverly Hills suite while filming Kiss the Girls (1997) and he suggested she watch him shower; the Weinstein Company fired him on Oct. 8 after a New York Times investigation revealed a long history of sexualharassment allegations and settlements ‘I thought it was a hoax in this time of fake news.’ KAZUO ISHIGURO, The Remains of the Day author, describing his reaction to hearing he had won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature Sharks New study suggests great white sharks swim farther and deeper than previously thought GOOD WEEK BAD WEEK Dolphins Miami Dolphins coach resigns after video of…

NIVEA In April, the German skin-care brand launched an ad for invisible deodorant that featured the phrase “White is purity.” The ad was widely shared on social media by white supremacists. SEOUL SECRET In 2016, the Thai cosmetics company apologized for an ad for whitening pills that linked being white with success. In it, Cris Horwang declared that by “just being white, you will win.” VASELINE The skin-care group came under fire in 2010 for creating an application that allowed Facebook users in India to digitally whiten their skin, a promotion for its range of lightening creams for men.…

SINCE THE MEDIA FIRST REPORTED MY story about sexual harassment at Fox News, one question has weighed heavily on my mind: What can I do to help women who can’t afford to stand up against workplace harassment? It’s not just a problem in the media industry, or in Hollywood, where so many brave women have spoken out against the disgusting abuses of Harvey Weinstein. Over the past 15 months, I’ve heard from thousands of women: fast-food workers, single moms and many other women working two jobs just to try and make ends meet. Putting aside the enormous courage it takes to actually speak up, many women can’t risk the financial consequences of standing up to power and subjecting themselves to retaliation, character assassination, demotion, termination and blacklisting. Speaking up about…

alt right (alt left) A political movement originating on social media and online forums, composed of a segment of conservatives who support extreme right-wing ideologies, including white nationalism and anti-Semitism. Note: Trump has described extreme left-wing activists as the “alt left.” antifascist Someone who is opposed to fascism or to extreme right-wing authoritarianism. In general use, fascism often refers to oppressive or intolerant views. Left-wing protesters who identify as “antifa,” a shortened form of antifascist,have used tactics like vandalism to oppose rightwing speakers or ideas they believe to be harmful. free speech The right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint. Some use this term in a legal sense, to discuss viewpoint protection provided by law. Others draw more subjective distinctions between free speech and hate speech, arguing that…

It all began when Gurmehar Kaur decided to raise her voice. In February, she and other students at Delhi University’s Ramjas College decided to protest campus violence involving the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, a right-wing student organization linked to the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which rules India. She posted a photo of herself on social media holding a placard reading, “I am a student from Delhi university. I am not afraid of ABVP. I am not alone.” As the image went viral, an earlier picture surfaced from an unrelated online campaign to promote peace between India and Pakistan. In it, Kaur held a placard about her father, an Indian army captain who had died fighting militants in the disputed region of Kashmir. “Pakistan did not kill my dad,” it read.…

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY DUA LIPA shouldn’t be a pop star. When she was a kid in choir, her director told her that her voice was too low. When she was 11 with dreams of making it big, her parents relocated from the U.K. to their native Kosovo, far from the scouts who could break her career. And even after she moved back to London alone at age 15, recording dozens of YouTube covers and eventually scoring a record deal, she still struggled to find her sound. “There were times I had no idea where I wanted to go,” she says. “It was scary, it was overwhelming.” That was then. Since releasing her first single, “Be the One,” in 2015, Lipa has emerged as one of pop music’s strongest…

IN FEBRUARY 2016, MILWAUKEE BUCKS COACH Jason Kidd told 6 ft. 11 in. NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo—known as the “Greek Freak” for his homeland and for his ability to dunk a basketball with one foot on the floor—that he’d be the team’s new point guard. The position requires unique leadership skills; a player must start offensive attacks, shout directions and distribute the ball to veteran teammates hungry to fatten their stats. The task intimidated him—at 21, he was still the sheepish kid who had leaned on the Eddie Murphy comedy Coming to America to learn English. Most other point guards were way more experienced (and far shorter). But it’s no wonder that he blossomed into an electrifying talent, a player who last season became the first in NBA history to…

SEBASTIAN KURZ (2017) Austrian Foreign Minister Kurz, 31, took charge of the country’s center-right People’s Party in May and is the favorite to be elected President on Oct. 15. SAOIRSE RONAN (2016) Irish-American actor Ronan may win her third Oscar nomination, for On Chesil Beach. The 23-year-old also received rave reviews for her role in the comedy Lady Bird.

‘STATES, NOT CONGRESS, ARE MORE LIKELY TO TAKE UP GUN LAWS FOLLOWING TRAGEDIES.’ —PAGE 23 BOB CORKER IS KNOWN AROUNDWASHINGton as a pragmatist, not a hothead. So when the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee lashed back at President Donald Trump on Oct. 8, the town took notice. “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning,” Corker tweeted after Trump unleashed a series of attacks on the Tennessee Republican. Corker wasn’t done. In a follow-up interview he said that Trump was setting the U.S. “on the path to World War III” and treating his office like “a reality show.” And he suggested many of his Senate colleagues share this view. “He concerns me,” Corker told the New…

FOR DECADES, TURKEY HAS BEEN AN important U.S. ally. It’s a secular Muslimmajority democracy; a NATO member at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Russia; and a key staging point for U.S. activity in Iraq. In recent days, however, bad blood has been rising on both sides. On Oct. 4, Turkish police arrested a Turkish employee of the U.S. consulate in Istanbul on espionage charges and accused him of having links to Fethullah Gulen—a Turkish cleric whom President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames for last year’s attempted coup and wants extradited from his adopted home in the U.S. The U.S. denied the charges and retaliated on Oct. 8 by halting all nonimmigrant visa services for Turks hoping to visit the U.S. Hours later, Turkey barred U.S. citizens from obtaining…

AFTER DECADES OF OPERATING WITH IMPUNITY as one of the most powerful men in entertainment, Harvey Weinstein has been brought down by a flood of chilling sexual harassment and assault claims, more of which may yet come to light. Power seems to have been his noxious aphrodisiac. Power was why some women acceded and others clammed up, why his employees helped facilitate his assaults and why so many in Hollywood looked the other way for decades. Power was the means, the motive and the cover-up. And power is exactly what he has lost, in a downfall that spans two coasts, several industries and dozens of klieg-lit names. Weinstein spent decades building his fiefdom on the grounds of a pervasive “see something, say nothing” culture of capitulation. But at the same…

IN THE CENTURY SINCE THE DAWN OF THE MASS-MARKET car, more than 100,000 gas stations have popped up along the country’s 4 million miles of roads and highways—and a stop to refuel became a crucial part of the quintessential U.S. road trip. But the heyday of the gas station as a place to refuel is probably drawing to a close. Analysts project that sales of electric vehicles will outnumber sales of gas-powered cars by midcentury. That means a wholesale rethinking of the infrastructure that consumers use to charge their batteries Powering that electric-car fleet will require a dramatic increase in public charging stations from the 16,000 active today—and fast. How many will be needed? That’s a bit unclear, but a good estimate from the Department of Energy (DOE) is four…

TIM PIAZZA SPENT THE EARLY-MORNING HOURS OF FEB. 3 CURLED up in pain, clutching his head and trying to stand. A Beta Theta Pi pledge at Penn State University, he had been forced to drink a toxic amount of alcohol in an alleged hazing ritual known as “the gauntlet,” according to a grand jury report. He then tumbled headfirst down a flight of stairs. Members of the fraternity carried his limp body to a couch, where they poured liquid on his face and slapped him in apparent attempts to wake him up. Security-camera footage later showed Piazza repeatedly falling and hitting his head, and then lying on the ground alone, holding his stomach. By the time fraternity members finally sought medical aid, according to the Centre County, Pennsylvania, grand jury…

For proof of just how creatively Lilly Singh can make a point, look no further than “How to Make a Sandwich.” The five-minute YouTube clip at first seems to be a standard cooking tutorial, with Singh cheerfully offering advice from behind a kitchen counter. Except she’s talking directly to a commenter—who wrote that “women aren’t funny” and asked why Singh wasn’t “in the kitching [sic] making me a sandwich.” As the sandwich is dressed, he gets dressed down. Try using fresh vegetables “to make up for your expired thought process.” When you’re cutting onions, “you’ll notice [they have] layers—just like your insecurity.” This is humor as Singh believes it should be: smart, irreverent and unapologetically feminist. It has made the 29-year-old Indian-Canadian a star on YouTube, where her sketch-comedy videos—tackling…

When Christine Keung first traveled to northwestern China in 2014 on a Fulbright scholarship, she set about collaborating with local university students to improve the region’s heavily polluted environment. In many rural communities in Shaanxi province, for example, contaminated rivers and streams meant there was no source of clean drinking water. So she helped locals build systems to track, control and recycle waste responsibly. What Keung originally intended to be a yearlong stop between college and business school morphed into a four-year mission to address the slew of issues affecting everyday people in this corner of her parents’ homeland. She acts as a liaison between Chinese students and U.S. researchers on issues from pollution to health care, gathering and analyzing data to craft personalized responses. In one ongoing project, she…

THE “HALL OF JUSTICE” HAS JUST TWO RULES: A NIGHTLY GAME OF beer pong, and a ban on talking politics after 8 p.m. The seven-bedroom house in upstate New York was home to a motley crew of government nerds—county legislators, city-council members, Ph.D. students and one big guy called “the Mayor.” Svante Myrick got the nickname because he was always bigfooting decisions and hogging the remote control. But also because in 2011, at 24, he became the youngest-ever mayor of Ithaca, N.Y. “The youngest generation is pretty sure that we can do it better than the folks that have been doing it for a long time,” says Myrick, who was reelected in 2015 with 89% of the vote. “And the folks that have been doing it for a long time…

David Fincher, 55, has made a career of delving into abnormal minds, with Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl. But he says his newest project, Mindhunter, on Netflix, is something else. He discussed the show’s genesis and the true-crime boom with TIME. TIME: Why this show? Fincher: I was fascinated by the notion that at some point, [J. Edgar] Hoover’s creation—this monolithic, bureaucratic organization—had to say, “There are things going on that we just can’t properly articulate and don’t understand. How do we protect the innocent until we look at how it all works?” And even if it started in the basement, even if it started in a way as the kind of voodoo department, they did it. I also thought it was…

EVERYONE HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR WINNIE-THEPooh. Everyone, that is, except Domhnall Gleeson, who had never read a Pooh book until he was cast as the beloved bear’s creator, A.A. Milne, and picked one up for research. “I was happy to find that they were good,” he says cheerfully, sipping a soft drink in a plush London hotel in late September. “Some things are inexplicably popular, but Pooh is not. You really understand why people love it so much.” Gleeson understands what it’s like to be popular, at least with casting directors: Goodbye Christopher Robin is only the third of his six films due out this year. The charismatic Dubliner’s talent is obvious from the eclectic range of roles he’s taken on since breaking out as the affable Bill Weasley…

AN ODD THING HAPPENED WHEN BECK’S Morning Phase won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2015: he got Kanye’d. As he was walking up to accept his gramophone trophy from Prince, the outspoken rapper started to follow him onstage, feigning a reprise of his infamous 2009 stagecrashing of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. Beck reacted like you might expect the king of ’90s slackerdom to, looking like a shruggy emoticon come to life. No surprise that, unlike Swift, Beck didn’t use the moment to fuel his follow-up album, Colors. In fact, this new record has been gestating since beforeMorning Phase, when Beck started carving out time with Greg Kurstin, now a mega-producer for pop stars like Adele and Sia. The two have been collaborators for…

ON A RECENT WEEKEND I WAS DOING SOME FALL CLEANING when I uncovered my old T-shirt from the Million Mom March, which took place on Mother’s Day in 2000. I held up that shirt, with its pink and black logo, and remembered walking on the National Mall with my 5-year-old son on my shoulders, full of hope that a group of like-minded mothers and others could make some sense out of what felt like chaos with respect to guns. I believed that guns were bad, full stop. Why couldn’t everyone see that? I am older now and in many ways more moderate, including my attitude toward gun ownership. Maybe my views began to soften when I visited my sister and her new husband and found a shotgun under the…

Your exhibition in New York City is called “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors.” What’s it about? Before the Berlin Wall collapsed, about 11 nations had border [walls] and fences. Now it’s jumped to 70, so you have seen the tendency to exclude and to defend. New York is a city that is made of immigrants. This is not a normal kind of public art; it uses the city as a ready-made and develops projects through the city’s boroughs, especially the immigrant areas, using bus shelters and subway stops. Some people support President Trump’s wall because they’re worried about being overwhelmed by people from other countries. What would you say to them? There’s a lot of talk about the potential danger. It’s saying, “We are better than them. They are the…
