«Breaking News» Meghan Markle up against Trump, Putin and Jamal Khashoggi for TIME's person of the year

TIME has narrowed its annual list of finalists for the magazine's 2018 Person of the Year. Depending on who, or what idea, lands the cover- it could be a dubious distinction. 

Being on the magazine's cover isn't always necessarily an honor, it means that the person or idea has influenced the news cycle, for better or for worse.

The year's list is a shining example of the wide spectrum of people and topics the TIME editorial board has worked to narrow down to make its top 10 shortlist.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has landed on the 2018 shortlist after landing her Prince Harry in their May wedding. 

The American actress who caught the attention of the world after finding her way into British royalty and is now due with Harry's first child. She has some stiff competition for the cover. 

President Donald Trump, who made the cover in 2016 after shocking the world with his win has made the list yet again, as has the man who has already rocked his presidency- special counsel Robert Mueller. 

Mueller's probe has yielded cooperation in the form of plea deals from various Trump campaign aides, consultants and advisers.

In 2017 Trump said he was 'offered' the cover again, and declined it. Something TIME said was untrue.  

This year has been chock-full of political hot button issues, which the list starkly reflects.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made the list, which fits with Trump and Mueller being listed considering the Russian collusion probe Mueller has been working tirelessly on. 

Putin was featured on the 2007 cover for his leadership of Russia, however this year his presence on the cover would most certainly be in part in light of his government's alleged attempts at intervening with the U.S. presidential election.

Separated immigrant families also landed made on the list after America was confronted with the faces of sobbing children being torn apart from distressed parents on television news and newspapers across the country.

At the height of the issue, more than 2,500 children were removed from their parents who had been caught illegally crossing the US- Mexico border. 

The president's zero-tolerance policy was met with global outrage, with his own daughter, Ivanka condemning the practice. 

Meanwhile an executive order in June was supposed to have the practice stop and get the children re-united with their families- however a recent report by the Associated Press found that the government continued beyond the deadline to separate children from their parents.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
