Platon has made over 20 Time magazine covers with his portraits of people like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George Clooney, Silvio Berlusconi, Mohammed Ali, Adele and Sinead O'Connor. But he has also photographed people who are the opposite of famous and powerful - and recently published a book called The Defenders: Heroes of the Global Fight for Human Rights - which contains work done over 15 years around the world telling the stories of refugees and other oppressed people. He tells us what makes a true leader, and how the meaning of a photograph can change over time, and depending on who is looking at it.

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:14 3 economic trends of 2025 – What’s really driving the world economy? While news moves fast, long-term economic trends take months, even years to emerge. To find out what major issues will shape the world’s economic future, we sat down with 5 Chief Economists. 9:29 How microplastics harm plant growth – Tiny pieces of plastic can reduce photosynthesis by up to 18%, says a new report. Reduced photosynthesis can hamper crops’ ability to grow and flourish and it could put 400 million more people at risk of starvation in the next 25 years, say the study’s authors, by reducing yields of staple crops and seafood. 11:06 Climate change may reduce wealth – A new study from scientists at the University of New South Wales, Australia established economic forecast models but factored in climate change data to predict the hit on global supply chains. Even a 2°C temperature rise would have a huge effect on the average person’s wealth. Knocking 16% off the average global GDP per person, much higher than previous forecasts which pegged the impact at just 1.4%. 12:39 AI triggers copyright concerns – GenAI models are evolving into sophisticated ‘style engines’. Copyright law protects expression, not ideas, it doesn’t extend to styles – whether ‘expressionism’, ‘dada’ or ‘disco’. This loophole allows for inspiration and artistic freedom. But when a style is as distinctive as Studio Ghibli’s, it gets more complicated, because replicating it could threaten their income and artistic legacy. _______________________________________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Are you happy at work? And if so, do you think that helps you do the job better? Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School thinks so - and says he has the real-world evidence - from companies and millions of employees to prove it. He also says there is evidence that companies with a happy workforce will perform better for shareholders. And he answers the question - does that mean working from home is best, or should we all go back to the office?

President Donald Trump said he had “no intention of firing” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The message is a stark change from just a day earlier, when Trump called Powell a “major loser” in a Truth Social post and hinted that he would fire him. Trump has recently kept the pressure on Powell to lower interest rates – an action the Fed chair recently said he would not rush or take lightly. Trump nominated Powell as Fed chair in 2017, but has butted heads with him ever since. #CNN #News
