The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces, or INF, Treaty has been central to limiting the kinds of nuclear weapons both countries can deploy, and without it, experts fear there will be a new nuclear arms race.

Pompeo first announced the U.S. intention to withdraw in December, giving Russia a 60-day window to come back into compliance after the U.S. first accused it of violating the pact in 2014. That window runs out on Saturday.

President Donald Trump issued a statement saying Russia had violated the INF Treaty with "impunity."

"For far too long, Russia has violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with impunity, covertly developing and fielding a prohibited missile system that poses a direct threat to our allies and troops abroad.

"Tomorrow, the United States will suspend its obligations under the INF Treaty and begin the process of withdrawing from the INF Treaty, which will be completed in 6 months unless Russia comes back into compliance by destroying all of its violating missiles, launchers, and associated equipment," the statement read.

"Our NATO Allies fully support us, because they understand the threat posed by Russia's violation and the risks to arms control posed by ignoring treaty violations," he said.

Withdrawal now requires, however, an additional six-month window, according to the treaty's terms. The agreement, signed by President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, banned ground-launched cruise missiles with a range between 310 and 3,100 miles.

Russia has denied being in violation, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov saying Friday Russia regrets the U.S. decision and accusing the U.S. of being "unwilling to hold any substantial talks."

But the top U.S. diplomat for arms control had met with Russia, saying afterward the country continued to deny its deployment of a

Pop-Tarts have big plans for 2020.

The folks behind the breakfast pastry 's official Twitter account shared a post Monday revealing the brand's political aspirations ahead of the next presidential election. They announced the news in the first-person, asking followers to retweet "if you would support this endeavor for me."
POP-TARTS CONTACT POLICE OVER PERSON PUTTING MUSTARD ON PASTRY
The tweet came just one day after former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced, also on Twitter, that he was "seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent."

Ironically, and as pointed out by Fortune, Pop-Tarts' tweet was retweeted over 31,000 times - which is roughly 27,000 times more than Schultz's tweet. It's worth noting, however, that Schultz was not asking to be retweeted, unlike Pop-Tarts.

Along with Twitter commenters, other iconic food brands soon chimed in to lend support, or oppose the news.

Hostess Brands, for instance, asked to be Pop-Tarts' running mate, a prospect that Pop-Tarts said it will consider "because I'm considerate."

Steak-Umms, meanwhile, declared "war" on Pop-Tarts after previously announcing its own intentions to run back in April.

Pop-Tarts is already standing firm on its one discernible campaign promise, however, which appears to be that it is not just a "glorified ravioli."

Tanzanian authorities say that 10 children who were kidnapped in December were found dead and were killed for their body parts.

The children's ears and teeth and "private parts" were removed, and some were missing limbs, according to published reports that cited the authorities.

They were aged between two and nine years old. Authorities in Tanzania have indicated that there may be more children missing.

A relative of three of the children has been arrested.
ALBINOS KILLED FOR WITCHCRAFT IN MALAWI FACE 'EXTINCTION', UN EXPERT WARNS
Apparently, authorities suspect that witchcraft motivated the horrors that were inflicted upon the children. Some witchdoctors in the area where the children were killed, and where some 10 are missing, claim that by obtaining some body parts, people can attract money and good fortune. The children went missing while their parents sold food at a market, the BBC said.

"This is all about superstitious beliefs and many believe they will get help from witchcraft," Njombe District Commissioner Ruth Msafiri said.

"These murders are linked to witchcraft practices because that is the trend for such crimes, where herbalists ask people to get these human parts for money rituals," he said.
DENMARK, CITING HUMAN RIGHTS, WITHHOLDS SOME AID TO TANZANIA
"We urge all parents and guardians to be on alert and teach their children on how to determine the motives of who is around them," the district commissioner told the BBC.

"We want to identify the perpetrators, but our focus is to educate the traditional practitioners in the area quickly and those in surrounding communities on the need to stop these acts," CNN quoted him as saying.

The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights has described the body parts market as one that fetches from $2,000 for a limb to $75,000 for a corpse.

Authorities said the murder and mutilation of the 10 children was not related to the killings of albinos in the country.

Albinos in Tanzania frequently are targeted for abuse because of discrimination and the belief their albinism is the result of their being cursed, according to Amnesty International.

A snowboarder who five years ago survived a freak accident that caused her pancreas to split in half is back in the gym and spreading a body positivity message after embracing the large scar left on her torso. Sophie Gillett had set out for a day at Whistler with her then-boyfriend and a friend in 2014 when the accident happened on her very first run.

"When we got to the area we initially wanted to ride on, it was heavily crowded, so we took a detour to find somewhere else," Gillett, 34, told MDW Features. "As I had lived in Whistler for years, I knew the mountain terrain quite well. That day the snow was barely even halfway up the mountain, with large rocks protruding everywhere."

But despite the poor conditions, the trio took off down the mountain, which is when tragedy struck for Gillett.

"I was riding and then suddenly I hit a protruding rock which launched me onto hard-packed snow and ice, and on impact doctors say it split my pancreas in two parts," Gillett told MDW Features.

Faced with a choice of waiting hours for help or trudging two miles to the nearest ski lift, Gillett set off on foot with her condition worsening along the way. She said she was unaware of the severity of her injuries until she got back to a friend's house where she started vomiting blood. She was taken to the hospital where she claims medics were puzzled by her injuries.

"I spent hours in excruciating pain, yelling and screaming for someone to help me and figure out what was wrong," she told MDW Features. "I had multiple MRIs and a CT scan which showed my pancreas had been damaged. I was then told I needed to go to Vancouver to get emergency surgery."

Gillett said her doctors said her injury was a "freak accident," and that surgeons "removed the tail and hoped my digestive system would still work." Despite her severe injury and subsequent digestive issues, Gillett was determined to return to physical activity and began walking the day after surgery.

"At first I would cry every time I got out of the shower and looked at my broken body in the mirror," she told MDW Features, of the 5-inch scar left behind. "But something in me told me I needed to still be me. So, I continued to wear things like crop tops or bikinis at the beach."

She learned to accept her new appearance and started an Instagram account to help others feel empowered.

The Cuba n capital was battered late Sunday and early Monday by powerful winds and heavy rains. A blackout hit many Havana neighborhoods around 9 p.m.

Early Monday, President Miguel Diaz-Canel posted photos of himself on Twitter with rescue workers besides what appeared to be a vehicle overturned by the storm. Little further information about the storm appeared in state media.

Photos posted by Cuban media and Havana residents on Twitter showed cars crushed by fallen light posts and cars trapped in floodwaters around the city. One local radio station said on Twitter that the neighborhoods of Regla and 10 de Octubre and the town of San Miguel de Padron had been affected by the tornado.

Woman’s Boyfriend Turned Her in For Murder

Los Angeles Chargers star RB Melvin Gordon doesn´t want the Rams to win the Super Bowl. That´s kinda weird seeing how the Patriots ended their season.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
" Patriots," Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon said. "All day."

With those words, it's quite clear the battle for Los Angeles rages on.

Gordon was asked who he would be rooting for in Super Bowl LIII: The cross-town L.A. Rams or the same New England Patriots that ended Gordon and the Chargers' season in the AFC Divisional Round.

His aforementioned response came without hesitation.

"Yeah, I don't want the Rams to win," Gordon chuckled during a Sunday interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio. "I don't have to -- I live in L.A. Y'all know. I live in L.A. and I've got to hear that all day. You know how many signs, Rams signs, I see?"

So it would seem that to the winners not only go the spoils but all the adulation, and Gordon's a little tired of seeing the city shower praise and attention on the Rams.

Gordon's comments came during his time at the Pro Bowl, which has become somewhat of a bittersweet honor considering if you're in town for the Pro Bowl, you're obviously not playing in the Super Bowl.

The talented running back was laughing throughout his answer, but it's clear that the Southern California resident is all about L.A. fans rooting for the Chargers and not the Rams. Alas, the harsh truth is that, at least for now, it's the Rams in the Super Bowl spotlight.

"I need them to lose," he continued. "I don't care where y'all put me on TV saying this. I need them to lose. I love the guys over there. I'm cool with Todd [Gurley], I'm cool with all them boys. But man, I need them boys to lose."

The punishments for Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were decided upon Tuesday in the wake of the post-fight brawl that took place after Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor at UFC 229 in October.

The Nevada Athletic Commission agreed to a $500,000 fine and a nine-month suspension for Nurmagomedov, per Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times, though that suspension could potentially be reduced.

Marc Raimondi @marc_raimondi
It would be a six-month suspension if Khabib does the PSA. The commission will have approval over the PSA and its distribution.

McGregor was fined $50,000 and suspended for six months, per Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com. Ariel Helwani of ESPN.com added McGregor would be cleared to return April 6, though Helwani added he was "hearing late spring/summer is more likely a timeframe for his return at this time."

McGregor was also put on notice about the outlandish and insensitive nature of his pre-fight promoting style:

Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN
Right now, Nevada commission is essentially telling Conor McGregor, who is not here, if he continues to ramp up his pre-fight talk in a similar way he has, they will consider taking disciplinary action against him, which they've never done for verbal actions.

Kevin Iole @KevinI
Marnell: Verbal part of promotion so out of line that it's embarrassing. But not appropropriate to insert at this time until we give published guidance about language.

Nurmagomedov's cousin Abubakar Nurmagomedov and teammate Zubaira Tukhugov were also punished for their involvement in the brawl and each given a one-year suspension and $25,000 fine, per Marc Raimondi of MMAFighting.com.

Helwani noted he doesn't expect Khabib Nurmagomedov to fight before either of those suspensions, which are retroactive to the date of the fight, expires next October.
