1.The Washington Post was one of several media that revealed this week that Trump himself is being investigated on allegations of obstructing justice. Inside the White House, a sense of foreboding has taken hold on even the most junior staff and up to the Oval Office, as news emerged that Vice President Mike Pence has hired a high-powered outside counsel to represent him. An aide on Thursday said Pence had hired Richard Cullen who litigated the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal, the Watergate affair and the 2000 vote recount in Florida. The vice-president, who was also in Miami, described his move to hire an outside lawyer as "very routine." Special counsel Mueller, a respected former FBI director, was also bringing in legal firepower to investigate whether there was collusion between Trump's team and Russia to fix the 2016 election or an attempted cover-up.
2.US President Donald Trump vowed to overhaul Barack Obama’s deal to restore ties with Cuba on Friday, promising to instead support the Cuban people against their “cruel and brutal” regime. In practical terms, Trump’s review of the deal was limited — it does not break diplomatic ties with Raul Castro’s communist regime, but it tightens rules for Americans traveling to Cuba, bans ties with a mili- tary-run tourism firm and reaffirms the existing US trade embargo. These measures won roars of approval and cries of "Viva Cuba libre!" from the invited crowd of Cuban-Americans and Cuban exiles, including veterans of the ill-fated Brigade 2506, which in1961 launched the failed US-backed Bay of Pigs invasion to "liberate" the communist-run island.
3.Opponents of the government accuse it of trading the Red Sea islands, Tiran and Sanafir, for Saudi funding. Lying at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba, the islands can be used to control access to the Israeli port of Eilat. They were captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war before being returned to Egypt under the 1979 Camp David Accords.
4.In a hidden room in a house near Argentina's capital, police believe they have found the biggest collection of Nazi artifacts in the country's history, including a bust relief of Adolf Hitler, magnifying glasses inside elegant boxes with swastikas and even a macabre medical device used to measure head size.
5.Germany's longest serving post-war leader Helmut Kohl, the father of national reunification and an architect of European integration, died Friday at the age of 87. Kohl helped a Germany that was split during the Cold War between a capital-
ist west and a communist east make the traumatic transition to a unified democracy.

6.Chile's President Michelle Bachelet apologized on behalf of the nation Friday to the Mapuche indigenous tribe for the "horrors" of post-colonial abuse they suffered. Considered the earliest inhabitants of parts of Chile, the Mapuche fought against the Spanish conquerors and later the Chilean army after the country's independence in the 19th century.
7.Artifacts connected to some of the most notorious US gangsters sold for more than $100,000at auction Saturday. A diamond pocket watch that belonged to Al Capone and was produced in Chicago in the 1920s,along with a handwritten musical composition he wrote in Alcatraz in the 1930s, were among the items that sold at the "Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen" auction. The watch fetched the most – $84,375 – according to Boston-based RR Auction.
8.One of the top surviving leaders of Cambodia's ruthless Khmer Rouge regime on Friday denied genocide charges and rejected being labelled a "murderer" in forceful closing remarks at a lengthy U.N.-backed trial. The Khmer Rouge's former head of state, 85-year-old Khieu Samphan, spoke angrily to the Phnom Penh chamber trying him and another senior cadre, 90-year-old Nuon Chea, over the regime's killings of Vietnamese and Muslim minorities as well as for other crimes against humanity.

JERUSALEM: An Israeli human rights group disliked by the government welcomed Thursday the donation of prize money from the Man Booker International Prize won by David Grossman. The Israeli writer won the prize on Wednesday evening for his novel "A Horse Walks Into a Bar," along with his US translator Jessica Cohen, with the two splitting the £50,000 ($64,000,57,000 euros) award. Cohen announced at the awards she would donate "half of the award money" to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, which campaigns against Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. "For almost thirty years now they have been reporting on human rights violations committed in the occupied Palestinian territories," she said. "It is not easy to tell uncomfortable and unflattering truths, and it's certainly not easy to hear them, but it is essential, not only in literature but in life."B'Tselem spokesman Amit Gilutz welcomed the donation. "We are thankful to her and we

are determined to continue on our mission, which is to resist the occupation until it ends," he said.
NEW YORK: Nearly half a century after John Lennon released "Imagine," his widow and artistic collaborator Yoko Ono will be listed as a co-writer. The announcement was made as the iconic 1971 ode to world peace was declared "song of the century" at a gala Wednesday in New York of the National Music Publishers Association. As Ono and their son Sean Lennon came up to receive a trophy, the association announced unexpectedly that Ono would join John Lennon on the songwriting credits. The gala was played a BBC interview with John Lennon in 1980, shortly before he was assassinated, in which he said that "Imagine" was inspired in part by lines in Ono's conceptual art book "Grapefruit."
NEW YORK: Former US president Barack Obama hailed Jay Z as a kindred spirit as the hip-hop mogul became the first rapper to enter the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday. Obama made a surprise appearance by video to present the honor to Jay Z, who grew up as Sean Carter in a troubled housing project in Brooklyn and has gone on to become one of music's wealthiest entrepreneurs.
LOS ANGELES: A giant Bat-signal it up the side of City Hall in Los Angeles Thursday night to honor Batman actor Adam West, who played the superhero role in the 1960stelevision series. He died on Friday at age 88 following a battle with leukemia. The caped crusader helped protect the fictional Gotham City in a franchise that began as a DC Comics strip before also moving to television and film. When Gotham's authorities needed Batman's help, they projected a light beam with his logo into the sky. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and police chief Charlie Beck led Thursday's tribute. Hundreds of fans thronged the ceremony, many dressed up in costumes from the television series and films.
NEW YORK: When the universe was born, what did it sound like? The question underlies an inventive and challenging new exhibition in New York that explores the fundamentals of sound and how they relate to the quest to understand the self and the cosmos. The Rubin Museum of Art, the13-year-old institution devoted to India and the Himalayas, shakes off the visual bias of most exhibitions. Instead, visitors to "The World Is Sound," which opened Friday and runs until January 8, enter with their ears. While the exhibition show cases visual artifacts, such as an18th-century trumpet made of human leg-bone played in Tibetan funerals, the focus is on sound, which can be felt powerfully by putting on headphones, touching wall panels or even walking the spiraling six-floor staircase.
