AS A RECENT WAVE OF DRONE INCURSIONS marks some of the most serious violations of NATO airspace in the history of the alliance, experts are warning that member states might find themselves unprepared to handle a sustained campaign by a foe like Russia. Already, some argue, the world’s most powerful military bloc appears to be scrambling to adapt to the new reality of an emerging form of modern warfare in which Moscow has heavily invested. “NATO and individual NATO countries have been caught with their pants down and are rapidly trying to pull them back up,” Keir Giles, a leading expert on Russian military issues who serves as a senior consulting fellow at the Chatham House think tank, told Newsweek. “Every time something like this happens, we hope that it…

When back to the future became the highest-grossing film of 1985, Michael J. Fox surged from his family ties sitcom roots to Hollywood stardom. After starring as the trilogy’s main character for the next five years, Fox became a household name. Now, 40 years later, his new book future boy: back to the future and my journey through the space-time continuum describes the juggling act that Fox accomplished in order to film two very different roles simultaneously. In this exclusive excerpt, Fox discusses his first day on the set of back to the future with co-star Lea Thompson.

A boy looks on as tires burn amid Gen Z-led protests in Madagascar’s capital on October 9. The unrest, which the United Nations said has left 22 people dead, began over water and power supply issues but evolved to broader calls for reforms and President Andry Rajoelina’s resignation. An opposition lawmaker said on October 13 the president had left the country, a day after Rajoelina’s office said that an attempted coup was underway.…

FEAR OF DEPORTATION HAS LEFT undocumented workers in the United States scrambling to wire home as much money as they can before they’re potentially forced to leave. The result: a remittance surge that’s funneling billions of dollars into some of Latin America’s most fragile economies. “I’ve been sending more money back home because you never really know what could happen,” Kevin M., an undocumented Ecuadorian restaurant worker in Manhattan, told Newsweek. “I still have a few debts to pay in Ecuador, and I don’t want to fall behind.” Since President Donald Trump returned to office in January, the administration says it has removed over 2 million people, 400,000 of whom were deported. For many migrants, this has created a new financial motivation. Remittances from the U.S. to Latin America are…

SERVICEMEMBERS WORKING with the United States’ nuclear weapons have to be prepared to launch a deadly mission at any moment. Newsweek’s Naveed Jamali recently joined some of those men and women on board a ballistic missile submarine—and in doing so became the first journalist to film all three branches of the nation’s nuclear triad. He began the project by filming from a B-52 bomber in January 2023 for a standalone episode of the Unconventional video series, which he hosts. At the time, Jamali had “no idea” that he would cover the entire nuclear triad, he said in an interview. But the journey then brought him to a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, in April 2024, covering the land leg and setting the mission in motion. Seven months later,…

President Donald Trump called the city “war ravaged” and moved to deploy the National Guard, which a federal judge temporarily blocked. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called some federal officers’ actions “deeply disturbing.”…

AS COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE seek ways to offset declining birth rates, a widespread remote-work model could provide a sizable baby boom, researchers and analysts said. In August, a group of seven researchers established a “positive relationship” between remote work and procreation after analyzing data from 38 countries, including the U.S., where the fertility rate dropped to an all-time low last year of fewer than 1.6 children per woman. “Respondents who WFH at least one day per week had more biological children from 2021 to early 2025, and plan to have more children in the future compared to observationally similar persons who do not WFH,” researchers wrote. “Respondents whose spouse or domestic partner works from home also report higher recent and planned fertility.” But when both partners worked remotely at least one…
