Iraqi demonstrators throw fireworks towards security forces during ongoing anti-government protests in Baghdad, Iraq November 26, 2019. The protests, which began in Baghdad on Oct. 1 and have spread through southern cities, are the most complex challenge facing the Shi'ite-dominated ruling class that has controlled state institutions and patronage networks since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled long-time Sunni ruler Saddam Hussein.

A picture of the Aletsch Glacier, taken between 1860 and 1890 and released by Library of Congress, is displayed at the same location in Fieschertal, Switzerland, September 4, 2019. Where mighty glaciers once spilled into Swiss valleys like frozen rivers of ice, a residue of grey scree and boulders remains, spliced through with raging streams. More than 500 Swiss glaciers have already vanished, and the government says 90% of the remaining 1,500 will go by the end of the century if nothing is done to cut emissions.

Kim Jae-hoon drinks water as he sits in his cubicle, called a goshi-won, where he lives in Suwon, South Korea, November 7, 2019. The sparsely furnished rooms were previously mostly used by less well-off students to temporarily cut themselves off from the outside world while they studied for civil service job tests. Now they are increasingly becoming permanent homes to young people who identify as the "dirt spoons," those born to low-income families who have all but given up on social mobility.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils the Cybertruck at the TeslaDesign Studio in Hawthorne, California, November 21, 2019. In the much-anticipated unveiling to cheering fans, Musk had taken aim at the design, power and durability of mainstream trucks, only to be shaken when his boast about his new vehicle's windows backfired. "Oh my f---ing God, well, maybe that was a little too hard," Musk said, after his head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, cracked the driver's side window with a metal ball in a series of tests for the crowd.

Pope Francis greets wellwishers during a Holy Mass at Nagasaki Baseball Stadium, in Nagasaki, Japan, November 24, 2019. Pope Francis' four-day visit was highlighted by pleas to world leaders to abandon nuclear weapons, given extra weight because they were delivered from the only two cities to have suffered atomic bombings. It was the first visit to Japan by a pope in 38 years and only the second in history, after John Paul II. REUTERS/Issei Kato

Leigh Mai Boughton Small hugs her mother Nguyen Thi Dep during their reunion after 44 years apart, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam November 17, 2019. Nguyen gave up her 3-year-old daughter during "Operation Babylift" in April 1975 before Saigon fell to Communist North Vietnam. Small - the daughter of a Vietnamese maid and a G.I. - was airlifted out of Vietnam for a new life and adopted into a middle-class family in New England. Leigh Mai and her birth mother may have spent the rest of their lives wondering about each other - except for the mother's persistence, the daughter's decision to try a DNA website, and help from a Vietnamese Good Samaritan.

Medical personnel leave the Hong Kong Polytechnic University following a news conference where university staff announced they had not found any protesters left on campus, in Hong Kong, China November 27, 2019. Security teams from the university had scoured the maze of buildings at the campus, a focal point in recent weeks of the citywide protests that first erupted in June, finding no one. Yet a protester, who emerged in a black mask later that day, said about 20 people were still hiding. "If the police retreat, we would leave," he told reporters. REUTERS/Leah Millis
