A Yale student took these amazing photographs to capture what's happening on campus

Yale March of ResiliencePhilipp Arndt PhotographyYale students at the March of Resilience.
At Yale, anger and frustration have been the status quo over the past few weeks. Students of color have banded together to rail against the systemic racism they say pervades campus life.
"I've long kept quiet about the recent developments at Yale," Philipp Arndt, a Yale student wrote on his Facebook page. "This was mainly because I was frustrated that an overdue discussion about racism was understood by too many as a discussion 'just' about a somewhat questionable Halloween email."

German Cold War leader Helmut Schmidt dies

Former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who led the country for eight years at the height of the Cold War, died on Tuesday at the age of 96, his office said.

Schmidt was West Germany's second centre-left Social Democrat (SPD) chancellor from 1974 to 1982 and a leading proponent of European integration.
He became chancellor at a time of crisis for West Germany, replacing Willy Brandt, who had been forced to resign when his close assistant Guenter Guillaume was uncovered as a Stasi agency spying for the East German intelligence agency.
At the same time, Schmidt had to deal with the consequences of the 1973-74 oil crisis.
German media reported that Schmidt caught an infection after having surgery to remove a blood clot from his leg about two months ago. He died on Tuesday in his hometown of Hamburg.

Homicide Capt. James Clark said Monday that Shakoor Arline, 25, and Lisa Smith, 32, were together in the SUV early Friday when someone opened the rear door and fired nine times, shooting both multiple times in the head.

Artist arrested for setting fire to Russian secret service HQ

A performance artist managed to strike at the heart of Russia's security establishment this week. Petr Pavlensky set fire to the doors of Russia’s secret service headquarters (the FSB) and even had time to pose for a photo with a petrol canister before he was arrested on Sunday night. Our Observer says the artist was trying to denounce the FSB's increasing encroachment on Russian society.

The Loubianka is the historic headquarters of the Russian secret service. Once known as the KGB, it was renamed the FSB after the fall of the Soviet Union. According to Pavlensky, the infamous spy service is responsible for depriving Russians of their freedom: "The threat of immediate reprisals hovers over citizens who know that they risk being spied on, having their phone calls recorded, or even being eavesdropped on." The commentary accompanies a video showing Pavlensky's latest exploit, uploaded to a Vimeo account in his name created barely hours before he set fire to the door. The account appears to have been taken offline since then. The artist accuses the Russian secret service of using "unending terror" to "hold power over 146 million people."
