New world news from Time: Is Ukraine’s New Holocaust Memorial Also an Instrument of Kremlin Propaganda?

Image
On a breezy afternoon last spring, the Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman took me on a tour of a public park near the center of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, along with a team of aides, architects, historians and artists. They had spent several years building a complex of memorials on the grounds, honoring the victims of a massacre that took place there during World War II. But the project had become so controversial in Ukraine, especially in the context of the country’s ongoing war with Russia, that the entourage had brought a team of bodyguards, who surrounded Fridman in a loose formation, tensing every time a stranger came too close. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Fridman was used to this. For nearly a quarter-century, he has survived at the top of Moscow’s billionaire class despite the regular purges and shake-ups that have sent several of his peers to prison or exile. His fortune comes from two of the most cutthroat sectors of the Russian economy: oil and banking. B

“I am that person who will look at, if there’s one part that’s good, I will see that part. That’s the part that I look at. That’s the part that I see.” —Nancy Rosado-Santiago Every year, TIME highlights the 100 most influential people. This year we are also celebrating an individual who leads with love.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] At just 7 years old, Rosado-Santiago began making and donating holiday meals for the homeless and elderly at her church parish. She soon enrolled other children in this work, inspiring and leading the group to give back. Later, Rosado-Santiago began volunteering to help elementary school children prepare for baptism, communion, and confirmation. Recognizi

New world news from Time: ByteDance’s New TikTok for Kids in China Limits Access to 40 Minutes a Day

Image
ByteDance introduced a TikTok-style service for China’s youth that sets strict controls on daily usage after Beijing stepped up efforts to protect minors from the internet’s risks. The app, called Xiao Qu Xing or “Little Fun Star,” offers a personalized feed of short videos in areas ranging from science to literature and art history. Users are allowed to like clips but not upload or share them, while parents can adjust the usage time for their kids to at most 40 minutes per day. China’s government is seeking to implement far-reaching rules on the algorithms tech companies use to recommend videos and other content, while top officials and state media alike have trained their sights on the amount of time teenagers spend on smartphones. Regulators slashed kids’ online gaming time to three hours per week starting this month, triggering concerns that similar rules will be extended to other digital content. Douyin, TikTok’s Chinese twin, last week upgraded its youth mode to limit
