Barrick Moves Toward Listing North American Gold Assets With SEC Filing
Barrick Mining has filed a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to take its North American gold assets public, paving the way for a listing of American Barrick Gold, the largest producer of the precious metal in the continent. The Canadian mining company plans to offer up a minority stake in American Barric Gold, but has not specified how many shares would be offered and at what price. The new company will be named American Barrik Gold and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. CEO Mark Hill will take over from J. Brett Harvey, who has been a Barrick director since December and chairman of steelmaking coal producer Warrior Met Coal since the start of 2023. The company's six large-scale gold operations are anchored by a nearly 62% stake in the Nevada Gold Mines venture with Newmont, plus the Pueblo Viejo operation in the Dominican Republic. The separation of Barrick's North American business is expected to improve the strategic and operational flexibility of both companies and allow each company to adopt the capital structure, investment policy and dividend policy that suits its financial and operational profiles.

Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson has urged a gradual approach to rate hikes, suggesting that the central bank should give households, businesses, and financial sector time to adjust for inflation.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, Paulson's voting colleagues on the committee, also suggested that a half-point rate increase could be on the table next month. The odds of a December hike are currently at 9%, with odds for a quarter-point hike at 91%, and subsequent quarter-points increases in December and January almost 59%.

Sutter Health nurses in California have picketed for more authority over artificial intelligence tools and increased staffing at facilities across the state. The pickets were held at Sutter Health facilities in Antioch, Oakland and Novato, with more protests planned for this week. The unions are calling for improvements to worker safety and for a new contract covering 10,000 nurses and caregivers. This comes after a separate union won decision-making power over the integration of AI in Kaiser Permanente hospitals. The healthcare centers remained open during the pickets, which are not expected to impact patient care. The California Nurses Association and an affiliate of the Caregivers and Healthcare Employees Union are participating in the pickings. The union believes progress will come through continued good-faith engagement at the bargaining table.

Supreme Court weighs whether government can fine farm without trial
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether the Trump administration can fine New Jersey farm, Sun Valley Orchards, over poor working conditions for workers on visas without a jury trial. The court does not need to decide if Sun Valley orchards provided unsafe working conditions. The administration argues that the Labor Department should have the authority to regulate the farm. However, some justices have expressed skepticism about the government claiming immigration authority on issues far removed from entering the country. The decision is expected to be made by the end of June 2027.

Netanyahu Warns Against 'Dangerous Government' With Arab Parties
Netanyahu, leader of the Likud party, has warned against a coalition of Arab parties, calling them 'terror supporters' and 'forbidden'. This comes after Israel's October 27 elections resulted in a hung parliament, with neither Netanyahu's faction or opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar alliance securing more seats than Netanyahu's. Despite Netanyahu's bloc securing more votes, Eisenkoot managed to secure recommendations from 67 parliamentary members, including crucial support from the Joint List and Ra'am, who hold 19 seats. He has 28 days to form Israel's next government and could receive a 14-day extension if he fails to present a government for a Knesset confidence vote by December 6, pushing the deadline to December 20.

Iran Mocks France After Paris Blames IRGC for Supermarket Cyberattack
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has criticized France for blaming the IRGC for a cyberattack that reportedly compromised refrigeration systems across over 700 supermarkets, leading to significant food spoilage and even fires. The incident has been condemned by France as an act of "unprecedented scale and aggressiveness," marking it as the first offensive cyber campaign solely for physical sabotage on French soil. Iran's Foreign Minister accused the French government of diverting attention from domestic issues and criticizing its Middle East policy. France identified the SHAHID KAVEH unit, affiliated with the IRCR, as responsible and stated that the breach violated international law. Paris plans to summon the Iranian Ambassador, push for expanded EU sanctions, and potentially deploy countermeasures. This incident follows alleged Iranian cyber activities targeting Charlie Hebdo in 2023 and the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Jemima accuses Russell Brand of violence, abuse against her
Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-girlfriend of Russell Brand, has accused him of violence, coercive control and abuse while they were together. She dated the disgraced entertainer for around a year around 2014 and alleges that she had to call the police to have him removed from her home during a violent incident but chose not to press charges. Despite this, she has defended the women who have testified against Brand's victims in court against him, stating that she is always on the side of all of Brand's accusers and supports their efforts to ensure justice. In 2014, a harassment injunction was taken out against Szilvia Berki, which was finalised in 2015 after a High Court found Berki's campaign of harassment against me to be "oppressive and unacceptable" and made the order permanent. Following an investigation into Berki’s allegations, the police concluded that no criminal offence had been committed.

US Indicts Three Iranian-Backed Operatives for Alleged Terror Plots Across US, Europe
US Attorney General Todd Blanche has indicted three Iranian-backed operatives, Al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri, and al-Hassani, for alleged terror plots across the US, Europe, and the UK. These include a foiled plot to target a British Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Fairford, which houses American military personnel. The charges stem from providing material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations, including Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Kata'ib Hizballah, an Iraqi militia. The most recent plot involved al-SaAD attempting to coordinate with his co-defendants from jail using coded messages. Blanche warned that the US government will pursue and prosecute anyone attempting to endanger US forces abroad.
