The Gunners are well aware of the need to get some players out in the coming days, with several members of the first-team squad currently in talks over a potential move away. Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira, Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi are all free to leave before Monday’s 5pm deadline as Arsenal look to bring in some much-needed funds to help them in their pursuits of Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey....

A list of potential candidates includes proven winners, such as Luis Enrique and Massimiliano Allegri, and a number of former favourites who boast strong ties to the club. Arteta slips in the latter of those categories, alongside the likes of Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry, with the Spaniard expected to soon head out on his own after cutting his coaching teeth alongside Pep Guardiola at Premier League champions Manchester City....

Arthritis mutilans is considered rare, affecting less than 5% of people with psoriatic arthritis and around 4.4% of people with rheumatoid arthritis, according to a 2008 study from the Baylor College of Medicine. Causes Essentially, arthritis mutilans is simply an autoimmune disease turned on high.

The report revealed that the U.S. and Russia, countries that have not signed onto the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, were “both developing and testing new landmine systems,” noting that the countries were “focusing on antivehicle mines” but that efforts “may include victim-activated elements....

The indictment claims Maduro received $5 million in drug profits from a guerilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), when he served as Venezuela’s foreign minister in 2006. Federal prosecutors also named Maduro as head of the Suns Cartel, an organization whose purpose was to “flood” the United States with cocaine.

On Tuesday, both Turkey and Iran reportedly found themselves directly involved in the battle, while the U.S. and Russia remained closely engaged, calling for an immediate de-escalation. The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is rooted in a century of bloodshed that first erupted in the brief period of the neighboring countries’ independence after the collapse of the Russian Empire and before the rise of the Soviet Union in the final years of the Ottoman Empire during World War I....

While some have likened a potential Evergrande collapse to the fall of America’s one-time fourth-largest bank, Lehman Brothers, in 2008, analysts say the scope of such a fall would not have the same effects on the international economy. Still, with its hands in China’s consumer products, electric vehicles, health-care services, and video production sectors, an Evergrande collapse would have a wide-reaching effect on China’s economy. Beijing has so far pumped $18 billion into the country’s banking system in a move to protect the Chinese lenders....

Florida has 29 Electoral College votes, making it a major coup in the race to 270. Early voting runs from October 19 to November 1.

However, the state has regularly switched in recent presidential elections, with Barack Obama winning there in 2008 and 2012, and George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004....

Those members in attendance Sunday at Acrisure Stadium probably should have been a bit more patient, though, than to start the chants for a QB change – “Kenny! Kenny!” – before the team had finished two games. And they shouldn’t be so certain starting a rookie quarterback, even a first-round pick – especially a first-round pick, in whom so much is invested – is a prudent decision. MORE: DFS lineup advice for Week 3 Steelers-Browns...

Ashcroft has named minorities to several high-level Justice posts. He upped the budget for enforcing voting rights and urged Congress to enact laws against racial profiling. During this month’s riots in Cincinnati, he went out of his way to respond to NAACP president Kweisi Mfume’s calls for action by quickly dispatching Justice Department officials to the scene. “He told me this was a priority for him personally,” says Mfume, who led the fight against Ashcroft’s nomination....

Ben Stokes was England’s hero in Leeds, clubbing his way to 135 not out to lead the hosts to a thrilling one-wicket victory that evened the series. Australia, however, will retain the Ashes should they win the fourth Test, which starts Wednesday at Old Trafford. Though Langer labeled the days following Headingley as the hardest he has endured as a coach, the former Australia opener has enjoyed rallying his squad for the upcoming matches....

NEWSWEEK: I want to ask you about Singapore and food. For a place with only three million people, there seem to be a lot of good restaurants, both Asian and Western. What’s going on?

I think any cosmopolitan city will inevitably end up with a great mix of cuisines from around the world....

Named 2017 TS3, the space rock is due to fly past our planet on Tuesday, November 2, at roughly 5:51 a.m. UTC (1:51 a.m. ET). At that time, it’s estimated the asteroid will be moving at a speed of about 22,000 miles per hour—about 30 times faster than the speed of sound. Luckily, the asteroid poses no danger to Earth despite its hulking size and speed. It’s due to make its “close approach” to us on Tuesday—meaning it will reach its nearest point to Earth during its journey around the sun—but it will still be nearly 14 times as far away from us as the moon is....
