‘We need a plan to save us. We have a short window of time and a huge responsibility.’ MARY ROBINSON, former U.N. special envoy on climate change CLIMATE SCIENTISTS HAVE UNDERSTOOD FOR decades that unchecked, man-made global warming will wreak havoc on human civilization. Now a landmark U.N. report released on Oct. 8 rings what scientists hope is a forceful enough alarm to wake the world up. Even the glimmer of light it offers—that we already know how to address climate change and stave off some of its worst effects—bears a bitter shadow, in the finding that political leaders are nowhere close to fully undertaking the necessary steps. Scientists on the Nobel Prize–winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) point to a global temperature rise of 1.5°C as…

IT’S NOT OFTEN THAT A TOP-LEVEL official in Donald Trump’s Administration gets away clean and leaves on good terms with the President. When she stepped down Oct. 9 as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley became one of his only senior staff members yet to walk away from the White House with her reputation largely intact. Since Trump’s first weeks in office, the White House has been plagued by high-profile departures of people who were fired or resigned, often after being stung by scandal or caught up in some controversy: National Security Adviser Mike Flynn, FBI Director James Comey and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, to name a few. But Haley, who is seen as a stabilizing force within the Administration and a frequent spokesperson on television…

Sanctuary for a soccer star European sports and legal systems may protect Cristiano Ronaldo against a resurfaced rape allegation—which he denies—writes Michael Caley, co-host of the podcast The Double Pivot. He explains that leagues there have far less power over their teams than American ones do and that regional defamation laws often give greater power to public figures. Enemies of the earth “I am alarmed and disappointed at the inadequate pace of progress, especially by the major polluting economies,” writes Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, after a report found that nations were failing to prevent climate change as promised. The long arc of misogyny Donna Zuckerberg, author of the new book Not All Dead White Men, found that men who feel society is set up to…

IN THE WANING DAYS OF summer in Paris, Kylian Mbappé sits high above a stadium, trying to find the words to describe how drastic a turn his life has taken this past year. His breathtaking soccer skills have propelled him to global fame in a matter of months. He earns more money than he could ever have imagined. Nike is designing pricey sneakers in his name. LeBron James wants to see him when he comes to town later that week. And when he steps out on the street, people beg him for autographs. Then there’s the fact that he’s still just 19 years old, making all this vastly more complicated. Capturing the wild ride of his last year as a teenager isn’t easy. “My life has been totally turned…

After starring in Saudi Arabia’s first romantic comedy, Fatima al-Banawi, 30, learned that the story of a much loved movie character can sometimes overshadow an actor’s own. As a Saudi woman, she also knew what it was like to have her story told for her—defined by what she had to wear (an abaya) and by what she couldn’t do (drive, travel freely). So by the time she finished her master’s degree in theology at Harvard, al-Banawi was determined to help Saudis tell their own stories. In 2015 she placed a couple of kiosks in the cafés of her hometown, Jeddah, equipped with blank paper, pens, a submission box and an exhortation to “write your story.” The Other Story Project was meant to run for six months. At first, Saudis…

Sabrina Cartabia is wearing bright green nail varnish when she speaks to TIME from her home in Buenos Aires. “We see it here as the color of hope,” she says. Just a few weeks earlier, the prominent 33-year-old lawyer and women’s-rights activist joined nearly a million others at mass demonstrations on Aug. 8, as Argentina’s Senate voted on a historic abortion-rights bill. The Senate ultimately rejected the bill—meaning that abortion remains legal only in cases of rape or when a mother’s health is in danger. But for Cartabia, the fight is far from over. Since 2009 she has been a vocal figurehead of Argentina’s women’srights movement—working on everything from legal defense for incarcerated women from poorer neighborhoods to promoting broader sex education to help reduce gender violence. “Part of…

‘We started to tell the stories that people wanted to hear and were ready to hear.’ SUGA, of BTS, about the group’s global success LT’S EARLY ON A MONDAY night in September at a lavish top-floor suite of the Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles, and Jimin, one-seventh of BTS, the most popular boy band in the world, is napping. You can’t blame him for being exhausted. Exactly 24 hours earlier, Jimin, 22; Jin, 25; Suga, 25; J-Hope, 24; RM, 24; V, 22; and Jung Kook, 21, were warming up backstage at L.A.’s Staples Center, prepping to perform their fourth and final show of a sold-out stretch at the 20,000-seat arena. Each night is a marathon of sharp dance choreography, music-video interludes and indoor pyrotechnics—all backgrounded, of course, by the roars…

‘I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S THE CHARACTERS I PLAY OR THAT I’M A REDHEAD, BUT PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING ’ On the cover of your book, My Squirrel Days, you’re posed with a squirrel. Was that a real squirrel? Yes, her name was Squirrel. She had done a lot of commercial work and was comfortable on set. She sat on my arms, on my shoulder, on branches, on the desk. There was one scary moment where she slipped on my blouse, and I didn’t know whether to catch her or not. I think Squirrel lost confidence in me then. The particular shot on the cover was probably Photo-shopped because it looks too perfect. But I want to be clear…

‘I hope the next time her picture is on the cover is [as] “Person of the Year.”’ A. PAUL KLEIN, Monterey, Calif. SHE SAID The Oct. 15 cover illustration by John Mavroudis, who created a portrait from the words of Christine Blasey Ford, was praised by readers like Barbara M. Di Fiore of East Rochester, N.Y., who called it “a stunning piece of art” that conveyed more than any photo. Pritish De of Waukesha, Wis., said Haley Sweetland Edwards’ story about Ford’s testimony during confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh “reinforces the galvanizing power of voice.” But Angie Thompson of Leonardtown, Md., objected that not enough weight was given to the fact that Kavanaugh had not been found guilty in a court of law. Ruth Knowles…

THE KLEIN BLUES At the opening of his 1958 exhibition in Paris, artist Yves Klein served special cocktails that turned attendees’ urine blue, the color associated with his work. He later patented a hue called International Klein Blue. BELIEVE TO SEE In 2014, Canadian radio reported that buyers were snapping up works of “invisible art” for more than $35,000 a pop. The story was supposed to be satire, but lots of listeners were convinced. A SPECTACLE Two teenagers made headlines in 2016 when they left a pair of glasses on the floor of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, only to stand by and watch as visitors gathered to photograph the “exhibit.”…

POPULIST POLITICAL parties have made big gains in a number of European countries in recent years, but Italy is the first large euro-zone economy where a government openly hostile to the E.U. has taken charge. The coalition in power there, the Five Star Movement (5SM) and the League, is in office at least in part because it’s willing to blame Brussels for many of the country’s current problems. The latest face-off is over the content of Italy’s national budget. This isn’t just a fight about money. It’s a test of whether a populist government can defy the rules that hold Europe together The European Commission, the executive body of the E.U., wants Italy to keep its debt under control as part of fiscal rules governing every country that…

In the Central African country of Cameroon, home to 24 million people, there are only some 50 cardiologists—and 12% of all deaths are caused by heart disease. Growing up in a small village near Cameroon’s capital city, Yaoundé, and dreaming of being a doctor, Arthur Zang, now 30, didn’t know any of that. But today his invention, the Cardio-Pad, is transforming the way heart conditions are diagnosed in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Zang’s idea began after he was rejected from medical school and decided to study computer science instead. As an intern, he met a cardiologist who told him rural patients had to make expensive and dangerous journeys just to get diagnosed correctly. Zang set about designing the Cardio-Pad, a handheld tablet that physicians in remote locations could use…

‘I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear.’ MELANIA TRUMP, U.S. First Lady, who was criticized for wearing a white pith helmet, associated with British colonialism, in Kenya ‘A SHADOW OVER THE FUTURE OF CHINA-U.S. RELATIONS.’WANG YI, China’s Foreign Minister, describing the effect of tariffs and other tensions on relations between the two nations at a meeting in Beijing with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ‘I didn’t answer either, because I thought it was a spam call.’PAUL M. ROMER, a winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics, on ignoring two calls from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; Romer shared the prize with William Nordhaus ‘In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events…

Kim Jong Un asks Pope Francis to visit North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has invited Pope Francis to make an unprecedented visit to Pyongyang, South Korean officials said on Oct. 9. The Vatican holds no formal diplomatic relations with Pyongyang, which bans most religious worship. Kim promised the Pontiff an “ardent welcome.” Trump campaign aide had eye on manipulation Rick Gates, a top Trump campaign official who is cooperating with the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, solicited proposals that year from an Israeli intelligence firm to use social-media manipulation to defeat political opponents, the New York Times reported on Oct. 8. France honors Nazi-hunting couple French President Emmanuel Macron awarded his country’s top honors to Europe’s most famous Nazi-hunting couple on Oct. 9. Serge…

CONVICTED Jason Van Dyke, a white Chicago police officer, of second-degree murder, for the 2014 shooting of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black boy. DIED Twenty people in upstate New York, on Oct. 6, when a limousine crashed into an SUV, in the U.S.’s deadliest transportation incident since 2009. INCAPACITATED The Hubble Space Telescope, after a gyroscope needed to accurately orient it broke down, NASA said Oct. 8. The agency expects it to return to work soon.

Jamal Khashoggi wanted to get married. The self-exiled Saudi Arabian journalist walked into his country’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 to obtain the paperwork for his wedding. He has not been seen since. As of Oct. 10, the assumption is that the Saudi regime took the opportunity to silence one of its more prominent critics. The mystery is how. Turkish authorities, albeit not the most trusted bunch themselves, believe Khashoggi was murdered inside the building by a team of 15 operatives, his corpse dismembered and transported outside in boxes. The Saudis claim he left alive and have pledged to investigate—though few believe a Saudi regime that has long been unafraid to detain or punish dissidents. Although the murder of a critic on foreign soil would, if confirmed, be…

It can be hard to know how best to show someone you care, with words and actions. Here we offer the arguments surrounding one common option—a hug—according to the latest science. The case for: Hugs put a range of health benefits within arm’s reach. Research suggests they boost levels of the bonding hormone oxytocin and feelings of social support—perks that may lead to less stress, a stronger immune system and even lower blood pressure. And it’s a form of wellness you can share, especially when someone is hurting: a newly published PLOS One study found that people experiencing relationship problems reported an improved mood if they received a hug on the day of the conflict. —Jamie Ducharme The case against: Hugs are not warm and fuzzy for everyone, though.…

‘I love America, but there are things I’d want to change.’ HASAN MINHAJ, comedian, actor and former correspondent on The Daily Show DOZENS OF POLITICAL-satire shows crowd U.S. airwaves. On Oct. 28, Hasan Minhaj, a former Daily Show correspondent who skewered President Donald Trump at the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, will join the fray with a weekly Netflix show, Patriot Act. Minhaj, 33, believes his perspective is what will help him stand out. “Historically, people with my identity across the world have been spoken for or spoken to,” he tells TIME at the show’s offices in Manhattan. Minhaj won a Peabody Award for his breakout comedy special Homecoming King, which debuted on Netflix in May 2017. With the help of PowerPoint visuals, he describes growing up as a…

AMANDLA STENBERG IS USED to having a spotlight on everything she does. “I’m always walking this precarious line of having my actions over-politicized,” she says. “But at the same time, there’s political intention in the actions.” It’s weighty stuff for a teenager, but Stenberg, 19, stands out even in the current ecosystem of socially conscious young performers. She’s more than a movie star: she’s an activist, political pioneer and leading voice of her generation. But today, she’s just sipping a latte in the back of a Manhattan coffee shop, wearing the crispest vintage-inspired T-shirt I’ve ever seen, flimsy sweats and a pink belt bag stylishly draped on her shoulder. Her skin is super clear, which I assume is from a mixture of drinking tons of water and being totally…

Christine Figgener could never have predicted that an eight-minute video would change the course of her career. But in August 2015, the 34-year-old marine-conservation biologist discovered a sea turtle in Costa Rica with a plastic straw lodged up its nose. Outraged at the extreme discomfort to the creature, Figgener filmed her research crew removing the straw from the turtle’s nose, blood oozing from its nostrils. The heart-wrenching video has racked up more than 32 million views on YouTube. “I thought I can really show what kind of harm one object can do,” she says. Americans alone use as many as 390 million plastic straws a day—just a small proportion of the 8 million metric tons of plastic that ends up in the ocean annually. Though Figgener’s video is three…

WORK CLOTHES Nearly 50 years after the Apollo 11 mission, TIME photographed Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit in the Smithsonian Institution lab where it is being restored LIGHT TOUCH The pressurized gloves limited dexterity, but silicone rubber in the thumb and fingertips provided some sense of feel FIRST STEP The lunar boot was slipped on over an airtight layer; a rubber overshoe (not pictured) made the celebrated footprints FISHBOWL The astronauts could turn their heads within a fixed helmet; the visor protected the eyes from ultraviolet radiation SOFT ARMOR The outer layer of the suit was made of Teflon-coated glass-fiber cloth to help protect against micrometeorites JUST IN CASE Armstrong’s first job on the moon was to scoop up a ‘‘contingency sample” and tuck it into his leg pocket, in case…

WHEN SAMIN NOSRAT LAUGHS, SHE TILTS HER WHOLE body back and fills the room with sound, uproariously, not unlike Julia Child. If Netflix was looking for a successor to that cooking icon, it found one. Nosrat’s new streaming show, Salt Fat Acid Heat (Oct. 11), based on her best-selling cookbook by the same name, inherits the best aspects of Child’s famed series The French Chef. Both women published groundbreaking cookbooks that won James Beard Awards. Both emphasize the basics of cooking over the memorization of recipes. And like Child—who once dropped a potato pancake, shrugged her shoulders and threw it back into the pan—when Nosrat makes a mistake, she owns up to it quickly. “I put way too much salt in that,” she says after taste-testing a pickled cauliflower…
