Loading the world…

One Turn is a new way to see every day news: the whole planet at once, every story placed where it happened, redrawn every day.

Day and night on the globe follow the sun's real position right now. Beacon size shows global significance, color shows topic, and the tint of the atmosphere reflects the day's World Mood. Switch to Economy to see markets and how each country's economy is doing, or to Planet for live earthquakes, storms, floods, volcanoes and wildfires.

1. Collect. Every day an automated pipeline reads hundreds of headlines from news outlets on every continent and across the political spectrum, plus science and good-news sources so progress is covered too, along with market prices and World Bank statistics. Market prices are refreshed every hour on their own.
2. Curate. The curation step ranks stories by global significance, groups headlines that report the same event so each story appears once, writes a short summary of the facts only (who did what, and who said what, with no opinion or analysis from either side), geocodes each story to the place it happened, scores its importance (1–5) and tone (−1 to +1) against a fixed rubric, and links the day's market moves to the news in an economic brief. A second, lighter pass adds short in brief items on sport, culture, science and health; they are not counted in the World Mood.
3. Check. Automated checks verify every edition before it goes live: coordinates, source links and structure. Publish times come straight from the outlets' feeds.
4. Draw. Your browser renders the globe, with the sun, clouds and stars computed live.

Coverage counts the distinct outlets in that edition's feeds that reported a story; it shows how widely a story was reported, not whether it is true. A story rated 3 or more for significance but reported by only one outlet is marked Under-reported. The background under a story is general context, not drawn from that day's reporting.

Summaries are written from headlines and short descriptions, so they're starting points. Always follow the source links for the full reporting. The World Mood score is explained in full when you click it.

Every story links to the outlets that reported it. This edition draws on:

Market prices: Yahoo Finance, refreshed hourly (may be delayed). Live natural events: US Geological Survey earthquake feed and GDACS (Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System, UN & European Commission). Country statistics: World Bank World Development Indicators (CC BY 4.0). Earth imagery: NASA Blue Marble & Black Marble. Clouds: Live Cloud Maps; contains modified EUMETSAT data. Country shapes: Natural Earth via world-atlas.
