Time POY

Greta Thunberg, the soft-spoken Swedish teenager who became a global conscience for climate change and environmental activism, has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019.

The magazine announced the 16-year-old as its choice Wednesday exclusively on the "TODAY" show.

"She became the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement," Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal told the show, adding that Thunberg is the magazine's youngest choice ever to be named Person of the Year.

One leader is evidently not impressed with accolades the young Swede has earned: Donald Trump.

Who is the Mandalorian?

The Star Wars season is upon us!

To many, it is a welcome distraction to the endless news saga and partisanship of the impeachment.

To Disney, it is an opportunity to cash in on the popularity of its newest character 'Baby Yoda.' The internet has been going nuts and completely losing its mind over baby Yoda. And it’s all thanks to Disney+’s new show ‘The Mandalorian.’ The moment people saw itty-bitty Yoda on the screen, it instantly became a meme-worthy character and that is the reason why you see it in your feed when you open up Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

But just who is this Mandalorian, and how is he a re-imagination of two classic film genres?

What do the Gunslinger and the Samurai have in common and how does the story of one apply to the other?

NATO

In the aftermath of World War II, the victorious Western countries forged institutions — NATO, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization — that aimed to keep the peace through collective military might and shared prosperity. They promoted democratic ideals and international trade while investing in the notion that coalitions were the antidote to destructive nationalism.

But now the model that has dominated geopolitical affairs for more than 70 years appears increasingly fragile. Its tenets are being challenged by a surge of nationalism and its institutions under assault from some of the very powers that constructed them — not least, the United States under President Trump.
