    Russia adds another Barents Observer journalist to wanted list

    The Barents Observer, a modest Norwegian media organization focusing on northern Russia and the Euro-Arctic area, reports that pressure from Moscow has intensified. The Russian government has labeled it an “undesirable organization,” with half of its reporters now listed as wanted individuals in the country. Located in Kirkenes, close to the Russian frontier, the outlet hires Russian journalists who have fled their homeland. According to its editor, Thomas Nilsen, a state-affiliated Russian newspaper recently named the Barents Observer among the "leading global media" reporting on a Russian missile test. He described it as a positive day for the publication, noting that the outlet had gained attention from within the Kremlin’s core. Journalist Denis Zagore is the most recent Barents Observer team member to be placed on Russia’s wanted list. Russian authorities allege his connection with an “undesirable” organization and breaches of the “foreign agent” regulations; Murmansk officials have requested his arrest in absentia. Fellow journalists Olesia Krivtsova and Farida Kurbangaleeva have also been given prison terms in absentia, while Georgii Chentemirov faces criminal charges and a financial penalty. The editorial team says it continues its work using open sources, satellite imagery, and interviews with individuals crossing the border and Russians living abroad. It is also dealing with a London High Court lawsuit initiated by billionaire Vitaly Orlov concerning five articles about fishing firm Norebo. The publication states it is worried the legal action could lead to its financial collapse. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/we-are-a-threat-to-putin-the-small-norwegian-news-outlet-with-half-its-staff-on-russias-wanted-list-31539

    Former tradwife influencers distance themselves from the movement

    A number of ex-tradwife influencers are now publicly distancing themselves from the movement, which advocates for traditional gender roles and has drawn criticism for its ties to far-right ideologies. Bernadine Bluntly, who previously sold anti-feminist products and offered advice on how women could attract conventional husbands, expressed in a video from April that she no longer backs the rigid gender expectations that can be used to justify mistreatment or control. She apologized if her earlier content had helped promote such views. Bluntly separated from her spouse in the previous year, and the legal end to their marriage took place this year. She also filed for a protective order against him, accusing him of abuse, which he has denied. Jennie Gage and Tia Levings claim they suffered mistreatment in relationships governed by rigid religious and gender norms. Gage states she was left with no resources after her divorce and now discusses the financial independence of women. Levings says she departed following an escalation in her husband’s abusive behavior and currently has care of their four children. Writer Seyward Darby explains that the tradwife trend originated within anti-feminist and white nationalist groups, although some social media figures distance themselves from those associations. Lauren Southern, who also exited that way of life, argues that women involved in far-right movements face stricter ethical expectations. She accuses online commentator Andrew Tate of sexual assault; Tate refutes the allegation. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/why-tradwives-are-fleeing-the-movement-i-cant-undo-my-past-but-i-can-warn-other-women-31388

    Analysts say Strategy is better positioned to resume bitcoin buying

    Analysts say Strategy is better positioned to resume buying bitcoin after strengthening its balance sheet and stabilizing its preferred-stock financing. The company ended the third quarter with $5.07 billion in dollar assets, including a $4.83 billion cash reserve. Analyst reports from StoneX and TD Cowen say the reserve covers roughly 3.2 to 3.4 years of preferred dividends and debt interest. Strategy also spent around $2 billion repurchasing its STRC preferred stock, helping restore the shares to near their $100 par value. The company’s bitcoin per share fell 3.7 percent year to date as it prioritized cash reserves and support for its preferred securities. Shareholders of Strategy’s STRC, STRF, STRK and STRD preferred shares approved a change allowing dividends to accrue daily. It takes effect November 1 for STRC and January 1 for the other securities. StoneX analyst Mark Palmer said management intended the change to reduce volatility, improve liquidity and broaden demand, while moving the instruments toward an anticipated tokenized, around-the-clock market. StoneX reiterated its buy rating on Strategy shares with a $435 price target, and TD Cowen maintained its buy rating with a $260 target. Strategy shares fell nearly 10 percent Friday after third-quarter earnings. They were down 8.7 percent to $129.90 Friday morning and about 27 percent year to date. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/strategys-preferred-stock-fix-sets-up-renewed-bitcoin-buying-analysts-say-31660

    Trump’s proposed Washington arch would not be finished before his term ends

    The Justice Department says President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot arch in Washington would not be finished before the end of his second term. If the project is approved, excavation and foundation work could start as early as Thursday and take between six and eight months. Above-ground construction is not expected to begin until at least May 2027, with the entire project projected to last 33 to 39 months. Modeled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the monument is planned for a site near Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington. The National Capital Planning Commission is scheduled to meet Thursday to consider approving the project. The Interior Department said in a court filing that it may issue a final approval that day, and the National Park Service may issue a permit or other authorization. The plan faces legal challenges. Virginia and the District of Columbia have sued the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior, arguing that Congress has not approved the project and asking a court to halt construction. Veterans have also sued, arguing that the arch would destroy the historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The government has urged a judge to reject the effort, saying the structure’s location and height could help defend the capital from threats such as drones. The Federal Aviation Administration found that the arch did not pose aviation safety risks, despite concerns about its proximity to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and its location in the airport’s main approach and departure corridors. The project would include an eternal flame and floodlight projectors aimed at it to make it visible to pilots. The arch is part of Trump’s broader push to remake Washington, which includes renovating the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, redeveloping a golf course in East Potomac Park, adding his name to the US Institute of Peace and attempting to add his name to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/doj-says-trumps-proposed-250ft-arch-would-be-completed-after-end-of-his-term-31579

    Trump says US will end nearly $4 billion in military aid to Israel

    Donald Trump stated that the United States will halt almost four billion dollars in military support to Israel at the end of this year. During a Fox News phone interview as voting commenced on Tuesday, Trump said Israel did not need the assistance and claimed it would be replaced by arms sales. He said he had discussed ending the aid with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the past couple of years, and claimed Netanyahu had proposed the abrupt end. Netanyahu had previously suggested phasing out US military aid over the next decade. The announcement accelerates that timeline. Israel received approximately 3.8 billion dollars in Foreign Military Financing grants for 2025, which can be used to buy US military equipment, including F-35 fighter jets. Another half a billion dollars went to joint missile defense programs. Trump made the announcement on election day, when US support for Israel was an important issue in several midterm races. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was running against Republican Mike Rogers for a Senate seat. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/trump-says-us-will-end-military-aid-to-israel-by-the-end-of-this-year-31532

    Jury considers verdicts in Russell Brand sexual assault trial

    The jury in Russell Brand’s rape and sexual assault trial has retired to consider its verdicts. Brand denies all the charges. He is accused of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and attempted indecent assault. The last charge was changed from indecent assault last week. The allegations involve six women and span ten years, beginning in 1999. Mr Justice Bennathan told the eight men and four women on the jury that he could accept only a unanimous verdict. In her closing speech, prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC said the six women did not know one another and had described a similar pattern of behaviour. She said they had not sought publicity or compensation. Brand’s barrister, Ian Winter KC, argued that a Dispatches documentary about the comedian’s alleged sexual misconduct had “poisoned the wells” of justice against him. He also described delays before the women came forward to police as “monstrous” and questioned why Brand had been accused of only three rapes in ten years. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/jury-in-russell-brand-rape-and-sexual-assault-trial-retires-to-consider-verdicts-31560

    Philippe Jaenada wins Prix Goncourt for 1949 murder investigation

    Philippe Jaenada has won the Prix Goncourt for his book L’Inconnue du quai de Javel, a literary investigation into the 1949 murder of Louise Cansot. The 29-year-old Breton woman was found dead on September 7, 1949, but police never identified her killer. She was a sought-after life model for artists in Montparnasse, known as “the woman with a hundred portraits.” Jaenada’s book revisits the case and portrays Cansot with empathy. He had previously been shortlisted for the prize four times. This is the 13th novel by the Île-de-France-born author, whose work has featured investigations into old news stories since 2013. The prize announcement came as this year’s Goncourt edition was overshadowed by allegations about another longlisted book, C’était ça ou mourir, by Canadian-Haitian author Thélyson Orélien. The Académie Goncourt removed the book from its longlist after claims that it was “almost entirely” written by artificial intelligence. Orélien’s Canadian publisher, Boréal, ended its relationship with him after an investigation. Orélien has denied using AI to write the novel. Jaenada’s book also revisits the original police investigation, which described Cansot as a woman of “ill repute.” Newspapers at the time speculated that she was a prostitute or drug addict. https://sansasyonelgazete.com/en/true-crime-novel-about-1949-murder-of-paris-life-model-wins-frances-biggest-literary-prize-31543
