Two victims, who had been held-up at gunpoint in a terrifying street robbery, fled to the FBI’s HQ seeking help after the gunman made off with their possessions, cash and a bank card. The man and the woman had stopped to help the suspect after he asked to borrow a cell phone; they even waited as he made and finished a phone call. An FBI spokesman told Newsweek: “The victims came to the FBI seeking help and an FBI Police officer provided assistance in calling the Washington Metropolitan Police....

Not so fast. The world is not at the brink of nuclear peace. For one thing, START II is conditioned on implementation of the START I agreement signed by George Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in July 1991. But that treaty is still unendorsed by two of the three non-Russian republics that possess elements of the old Soviet nuclear arsenal, and neither Washington nor Moscow will allow it to take effect absent the republics’ compliance....

Broadcasting on the streaming platform Twitch, the U.S. Army Esports team placed itself on hiatus in July after complaints from users and lawmakers. New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said banner ads that appeared during the livestreamed gaming events led users directly to a recruitment site.

Actually, Arne’s official name used to be Arnold, but everyone knows Hollywood is big enough for only one Arnold; Glimcher has switched to “Arne,” spelled the way it often is in Minnesota, where he was born. Besides, he says, “no one’s ever called me anything but Arne. " But how did this hugely successful dealer (Forbes estimates Pace grossed $80 million last year-and it was a bad year in the art market) get launched in Hollywood?...

The political debate, critics sneered, was to be a totally canned affair, with participants rattling off rehearsed answers to questions that had been distributed to the public-and the candidates-two weeks ago. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, under fire for limiting his debate participation to the only event with pre-announced questions, sent a letter to the organizers, urging them to change the format. But as it turned out, no one who saw last night’s free-for-all in Sacramento had to switch channels for comic relief....

It wasn’t an all-out ovation for the pitcher returning from a domestic violence policy suspension, but cheers, by and large, are a lot louder than people softly saying to themselves, “This guy is really good, but I’m conflicted, at best, about his presence on my favorite team, and this generally feels uncomfortable.” MORE: MLB’s Dead Money All-Stars It does feel uncomfortable, and it should feel uncomfortable, though it really doesn’t seem to for the man at the center of it all....

Lemar, 22, was the subject of a bid from Arsenal towards the end of the summer transfer period, agreeing a club-record £90 million deal on the final day, only for the midfielder to back out of it. Links to the Gunners and Liverpool have continued through to the January window, but Vasilyev said the France international was sure to remain with Monaco until the end of the campaign. “He will stay at Monaco until the end of the season at 100 per cent,” he told RMC....

The 18-year-old defender enjoyed a breakout season last term, featuring in 11 Eredivisie games as well as the club’s run to the final of the Europa League, playing the full 90 minutes of the defeat to Manchester United. Ajax 9/1 to beat Rosenborg 2-0 De Ligt also made his senior Netherlands debut in March, with his fine form at such a young age leading to links to a number of top European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton....

The Gunners had hoped to persuade Alexis to extend his current contract, which expires next summer, or at least to sell him abroad as a last resort. Lukaku trains with Pogba in LA But sources close to the situation have informed Goal that the Gunners are now deeply concerned they will lose the Chile international to City following talks with his representatives. Alexis’ future had been on hold while he participated in the Confederations Cup, though Arsenal had prepared a huge pay rise in an attempt to keep him at the Emirates Stadium....

The Gunners beat Everton 3-1 on the final day of the Premier League season at Emirates Stadium, despite having captain Laurent Koscielny sent off, but it was not enough to lift them into the top four. Kane wins PL golden boot Manchester City’s 5-0 win at Watford and Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough ensured they claimed the final two Champions League spots, behind champions Chelsea and second-place Tottenham. Next season will be Arsenal’s first outside Europe’s top competition since 1996-97, which was Wenger’s first in English football, and they must instead take part in the Europa League....

Aubameyang has suffered a turbulent few weeks, losing his place in the Arsenal team after being dropped by manager Mikel Arteta due to a disciplinary breach. He was also stripped of the captaincy by Mikel Arteta and, having played little football recently, was hoping to make a big impact at AFCON, which gets underway on January 9, when hosts Cameroon face Burkina Faso. Aubameyang has been named in a significant number of transfer rumors as a result of his Arsenal situation, and the AFCON tournament would present a perfect opportunity to show other clubs what he is still capable of....

Results using ATO in the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with low-to-intermediate risk APL have been very favorable. These successes have also spurred scientific research investigating the potential use of ATO in many cancers other than APL, including non-leukemia malignancies such as metastatic colon cancer and the brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme. ATO is often combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a retinoid agent used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia....

David Popa, 29, creates the giant portraits by swimming out to sea in the freezing water and using charcoal and soil in a spray can to paint the surface of huge blocks of ice. Each portrait has to be created in around four hours as the ice floats would invariably either sink or float away. Popa’s Fractured series came with many challenges as he had to create them in the middle of the freezing Finnish winter....

To be honest, though, it never occurred to me that Sarah Hughes was capable of such majesty. Which is odd, because I actually picked the 16-year-old in NEWSWEEK last year as my upset candidate for the gold in Salt Lake City. But I suspected she might triumph by virtue of solid workmanship and unflappability. Then Hughes began to seem shaky. At the Olympic trials she took a disappointing bronze. And in Salt Lake, a pedestrian routine left her in fourth place after the short program....

With the Middle East riven by religious and political tensions, it’s bittersweet to see such gorgeous proof of its multifaith history. A 13th-century Christian manuscript from near Mosul, Iraq, depicts the three Marys at Jesus’ tomb. While many of the details are Byzantine, the tomb’s onion dome and the stylized cedar trees draw on Islamic artistic traditions. A similar culture-melt between Islam and Judaism is apparent in a 17th-century manuscript by the Jewish Persian poet Imrani, called “Fathnama,” or, “The Book of Conquest....
