Half of the villagers are ready to move if
the government provided free land in a
safer area, Sagar said, but there has been
no response to their request for
compensation or to move people off the
island.
Two people in the office of Javed Ahmed
Khan, the minister in charge of disaster
management in the state government of
West Bengal, declined to comment on
whether it had any plans to relocate
inhabitants.
Floods have churned the island's
shoreline into mud fringed with broken
coconut palms. Fishermen cast their nets
to try to take advantage of the rising
waters.

"If a tsunami or a big cyclone hits this island
we will be finished," said Sanjib Sagar, village
leader on the island 150 km (93 miles) south of
the Indian city of Kolkata.
The Sundarbans, shared by India and
Bangladesh, include the world's largest
mangrove forest as well as rare or endangered
tigers, dolphins, birds and reptiles.
Ghoramara is among many islands in the delta
affected by rising sea levels and soil erosion
experts say is caused by climate change.

Residents of India's Ghoramara
Island want to leave their home as
it shrinks every year due to rising
seas, but many say they can't
afford it.
The 4.6 sq km (1.8 sq mile) island,
part of the Sundarbans delta on
the Bay of Bengal, has nearly
halved in size over the past two
decades, according to village
elders.
The tiny island is home to 4,800
people, down from 7,000 a decade
ago.
Children play on a broken embankment next to a salt water pond after high tide flooded the island.

As well as damaging homes, floods
destroy valuable betel leaf crops
that many islanders have
depended on for a living.
"Every year, high-tide salt water
enters my farm and destroys my
cultivation, so I have to face a big
loss," said Mihir Kumar Mondal, a
betel leaf farmer.
Climate change experts say the
entire island population will have
to be relocated one day.
"There has to be some planning for
those people, in terms of
relocating them to other areas.
Frankly speaking, this has to be in
the plan of the government," said
Suruchi Bhadwal, a researcher on
climate change at the New Delhi-
based Energy and Resources
Institute.

The migrants face a future of
uncertainty. The United States
said this month that many asylum
seekers may be forced to stay in
Mexico while their claims are
processed. Some Mexican border
towns are perilous places to wait,

For migrants far from home, the street
often becomes their place of worship.
On a warm afternoon in late
November, pastor Jose Murcia, a
Salvadoran who lives in the United
States, preaches outside a temporary

Later, Murcia joins a pair of men

the migrants walked the length
of Mexico. Here, the Virgin of
Guadalupe - an image of the
Virgin Mary who devotees
believe appeared to an
indigenous man in the 16th

seeking her protection, a man

George H.W. Bush: A look back at the former president's life
Bush was the second of five children
and part of an influential and affluent
family. He is seen here, top left, with
his father, Prescott, seated center, and
other family members. Bush went to
the prestigious Phillips Academy
boarding school in Andover,
Massachusetts, before joining the
Navy as an aviator soon after the
attack on Pearl Harbor.

After Yale, Bush moved to Midland, Texas,
where his father had connections in the oil
industry. After a couple of years working for
someone else, Bush started his own drilling
and exploration company, which was soon
lucrative and made him a rich man in his
own right. After about a decade, though, his
ambitions turned to politics, and after an
unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate in 1964,
he won a congressional seat in 1966. He is
seen with his wife, Barbara, during one of his
campaigns during the 1960s.

In 1970, President Richard Nixon
persuaded Bush to run for the U.S.
Senate, a race he lost. Nixon then
appointed him U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations, a job he held for two
years. Following Nixon's resignation,
President Gerald Ford appointed Bush a
special envoy to China, where he is seen
with his wife, Barbara, in 1974.

In the late 1970s, Bush decided
that he wanted to be president
and began traveling the
country in an attempt to drum
up support. He entered the
Republican primaries in early
1980 and had some early
success before being defeated
by Ronald Reagan. Here, he

President Donald Trump faced
battles across many fronts in
2018, ending the year
politically weakened after his
Republican Party lost control
of the U.S. House of
Representatives at midterm
elections in November.

Director Hope Hicks leaves the U.S.
Capitol after attending the House
Intelligence Committee closed
door meeting. Leah Millis: "This is
the product of about seven hours
of waiting and lots of team work
involving constant coordination to
guess where to wait in order to
capture Hope Hicks as she left the
hill. Luckily, there were several
cameramen along for the moment
and their lighting captured her
perfectly."

He began the year much as he ended 2017.
He faced internal strife in a White House
gripped by chaos and drama, losing his
staff secretary, Rob Porter, who was
forced out when allegations surfaced of
past domestic abuse.
National security adviser H.R. McMaster
was removed, and was replaced by hard-
charging John Bolton. Aide Hope Hicks
resigned after years of service to Trump.
The year ended with Trump pushing out
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White
House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
The White House did not respond to a
request for comment.
Previously, Trump has denied his White
House is chaotic, describing it in TV
interviews as a “well-oiled machine.” He
also disputed that he was weakened by the
elections, pointing to the Senate, where
Republicans extended their majority.
"Yesterday was such a very Big Win,"
Trump tweeted on Nov. 7, the day after the
elections.
Jonathan Ernst: "On a historic and difficult day, it was fun to look for the odd
angle or expression. Here, Trump and Kim walk away after impromptu remarks
to reporters - which clearly pleased the North Korean leader."

In international affairs, Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal
despite the pleas of European allies to stay in. He also met with North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a bid to end a long nuclear standoff. The
summit eased tensions that both Kim and Trump had inflamed in the
preceding months, but North Korea has yet to commit to a plan to end
its arms program.
Kevin Lamarque: "Body language can give an
ordinary photo extraordinary meaning, and
here, Trump and Putin did not disappoint."

Trump was fiercely criticized by Democrats and
some Republicans for his performance at a
summit meeting in Helsinki with Russian
President Vladimir Putin in July. Instead of
condemning Russia’s alleged intervention in the
2016 U.S. presidential election, Trump cast
doubt on the findings of his own intelligence
services.
Trump’s administration applied new sanctions
on Russia but critics, including prominent
national security experts in Congress, said his
performance at the Helsinki summit was weak.
A criminal investigation into alleged ties
between Trump’s election campaign team and
Russian officials brought further pressure on
Trump and his allies.
Trump has frequently defended his meeting with
Putin, calling it a great success. He also has
denied any collusion between his campaign and
Moscow in 2016, saying publicly many times
that the Russia investigation is nothing more
than a “witch hunt.”
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team indicted
and won convictions against more of Trump’s
former aides, including his personal lawyer
Michael Cohen and former campaign manager
Paul Manafort.
Chris Bergin: "I saw the colour-coordinated
woman in the back of the ball room while
covering mid-term elections. She stood out to
me because she was lit by a single overhead light
that created deep shadows."

Trump received credit for a strong U.S.
economy but it was not enough to
prevent Democrats from winning
control of the House in November.
The president’s toughest domestic test
came along the southern U.S. border
with Mexico, where his administration’s
policy of separating children of illegal
immigrants from their parents
prompted a humanitarian crisis. He
maintained a strident stance on
potential border crossers, condemning
a caravan of would-be immigrants from
Central America and deploying U.S.
troops along the border.

Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee
confirmation hearing. Joshua Roberts: "This came in a break in testimony and Kavanaugh
was surprised as Guttenberg approached but as he turned away he looked anxious.
Kavanaugh later said he did not understand who Guttenberg was at the time."

Trump’s biggest political triumph
was getting his second Supreme
Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh,
through Senate confirmation, but
not without a price. Kavanaugh
was accused of sexual assault
dating back to his teenage years.
Christine Blasey Ford provided
damaging testimony but U.S.
senators, many citing a lack of
firm evidence, confirmed
Kavanaugh in a narrow 50-48
vote.

A rusting Ford Thunderbird is blanketed by red
dust from a supercell thunderstorm in Ralls,
Texas. The dry, plowed fields of the Texas
Panhandle made easy prey for the storm, which
had winds over 90 miles an hour ripping up the
topsoil and depositing it farther south. I was
forecasting and positioning a team of
videographers and photographers on a storm
chase in Tornado Alley--this was our last day of a
very successful chase, having witnessed 16
tornadoes over 10 days. The target area for a
storm initiation was just south of Amarillo, Texas.
Once the storm became a supercell, it moved
southbound with outflow winds that were easily
strong enough to tear up the topsoil and send it
into the air.

While on assignment for Der Spiegel, we made a road
trip through Syria to document the current situation
in major cities. When I first entered the Khalidiya
district in Homs, I was shocked. I hadn't seen such
large-scale destruction before, and I had been to
many destroyed cities. The area around the Khalidiya
district was extremely quiet. No city sounds, cars--
nothing. Only the chirping of swallows and the wind.
We walked down the streets of Khalidiya, but the
destruction was so large scale that you couldn't have
the big picture from the point of view on the street--
you could only manage it with a view from above. To
make this image, I asked a Syrian soldier in charge of
the area if I could climb onto a ruin. The soldier
agreed, allowing me to climb at my own risk. I
climbed up the ruins of a former house--which was
full of improvised explosive devices--and took the
picture. I was very lucky to take the picture when I
was on the rooftop. Without any sign of life, it would
have been a dead picture. I can recall the memory
vividly.

Japan's Blue Pond in Biei-cho, Hokkaido, has
become very famous for attracting tourists
from around the world. It is surrounded by
beautiful mountains and trees. This pond,
frozen during winter, was artificially made to
prevent river contamination from the nearby
active volcano, Mount Tokachi. The
accumulated pond water contains high levels
of minerals, such as those containing
aluminum. The alluring view of the blue
pond can take one's breath away. To make
this image, I made the exposure longer to
capture the way the snow was falling. At the
same time, I lit up the strobe for a moment
to capture the snowflakes that are reflecting
in the foreground. I took as many photos as I
could and chose the one I thought had the
best balance of the falling snow and the
unfocused snowflakes. I wanted to express
how time is created in just one moment and,
by tying together these moments, history is
made.

I was looking to do a series of portraits
showing people wearing their Sunday
best when I made this photo of David
Muyochokera. It was taken on his last
Sunday working as a photographer at
Weekend Studio, in Kibera--a large
shantytown in Nairobi, Kenya. My friend
Peter, a local resident, had pointed me to
the photo studio just as I was about to
leave the area. It was a stunning space,
with whimsical backdrops and natural
light coming through the doorway. David
had worked there for 37 years, but
Weekend Studio was about to close
permanently. Phone cameras were so
common now, he said, and fewer people
wanted studio portraits. David planned
to retire and return home to the
countryside. I was troubled by the
studio's imminent closure, so I eventually
took over the rent. A portrait of David
now hangs at Weekend Studio in his
memory.

A Hindu devotee kisses his newborn baby during

Traditional practice calls for the devotee to be

festival, I was able to view the religious practice
from the perspective of Hindu devotees. I tried to

As the late-night hours ticked by and
my eyelids grew heavy, two southern
white rhinoceroses appeared silently
from the shadows to drink from a
watering hole in South Africa's Zimanga
Game Reserve. On alert, they stood
back to back, observing their
surroundings before lowering their
heads. I felt privileged to share this
moment with these endangered
animals. While I was well prepared
technically, with my camera set
correctly on a tripod, I underestimated
the emotional impact the magnificent
beasts would have on me. I had
photographed them months earlier,
and now both rhinos sported a new
look: They had been dehorned to deter
poachers. I had heard about this
development but had not yet seen
them. I was full of emotion--and horror-
-that poaching had such a devastating
effect. It must have been a hard
decision to dehorn their rhinos, and I
am grateful for the reserve's efforts.
