Par AFP Par Agnès PEDRERO © 2026 AFP Cinq mois après sa dernière audition, Jacques Moretti, propriétaire du bar ravagé par un incendie meurtrier dans la station de ski suisse de Crans-Montana, fait à nouveau face lundi aux questions des procureures.Cette audition devait initialement se dérouler comme en juin sous le format de confrontation avec son épouse, Jessica Moretti, également propriétaire du Constellation. Mais les procureures du canton du Valais ont renoncé à convoquer cette dernière après qu'une psychologue-psychothérapeute a alerté sur son "état de fragilité psychique particulièrement important" et sur les risques liés à une "confrontation directe" avec son mari, en détention provisoire depuis mi-août pour des violences présumées sur son épouse. Il avait déjà passé 14 jours en détention provisoire du 9 au 23 janvier dans le cadre du dossier de l'incendie du bar, qui a fait 41 morts et 115 blessés dans la nuit du nouvel an."La détresse" de Jessica Moretti "est tout à fait compréhensible" mais elle "ne doit pas constituer un paravent procédural", a réagi Me Gilles-Antoine Hofstetter, qui représente des familles de victimes, à son arrivée sur le campus universitaire Energypolis de Sion (Valais) où se tiennent les auditions."J'attendais beaucoup de cette confrontation" ...

Par AFP Par Maryam EL HAMOUCHI, Julie CHABANAS © 2026 AFP Industriels de l'agroalimentaire et distributeurs doivent se retrouver lundi après-midi à Bercy, pour préparer les négociations commerciales annuelles qui débutent le mois prochain dans un contexte particulièrement tendu, cette réunion s'annonçant elle-même houleuse.Ce comité de préparation pourrait en effet être boycotté par la Fédération du commerce et de la distribution (FCD), qui représente les principales enseignes comme E. Leclerc, Carrefour et Intermarché.Elle avait annoncé qu'elle n'y participerait pas "tant que deux exigences fondamentales n'auront pas été reconnues et partagées par tous" : "la transparence" sur les coûts de la matière première agricole et un traitement différencié pour les PME.Cette réunion organisée au ministère de l'Economie, initialement prévue le 28 octobre, doit poser les bases des négociations commerciales qui débutent dans un mois."On aimerait y participer. C'est juste qu'on veut sortir de ces réunions qui sont un théâtre et des postures où on ne prend aucune décision", a déclaré lundi matin Judith Jiguet, déléguée générale de la FCD, sur Radio Classique.Leur absence n'est pas encore actée, a-t-elle toutefois souligné: "on a encore toute cette matinée (pour se décider, NDLR).

Par AFP © 2026 AFP La Bourse de Paris évoluait sans grand changement lundi matin, à la veille des élections de mi-mandat aux Etats-Unis, malgré le net recul du pétrole, tandis qu'Alstom s'effondrait après un nouvel avertissement sur ses résultats.Vers 10H00, le CAC 40 était stable (+0,04 %), à 7.972,50 points.

Papin sur RTL."Cela veut dire que la grande majorité des Français ont accès à un prix qui est abaissé", a-t-il ajouté, soulignant que "la moitié des stations peuvent approvisionner" plus de la moitié des Français, voire "80%" selon lui.Une partie du secteur se plaint toutefois de n'avoir pas bénéficié des déstockages en même temps que les grandes surfaces ou TotalEnergies.Francis Pousse, du réseau Mobilians, qui représente notamment des stations-service indépendantes, avait ainsi dénoncé dimanche des écarts de prix "insupportables". ...

If my inbox is any indication, we've reached the point when everyone just wants to know whether the polls will be right. Fair enough, so in this newsletter, I'll respond to a few of your questions about the specific risks facing pollsters today. But first I wanted to report one rare opportunity to put our New York Times/Siena University polls to an early test: Alaska's unusual top-four Senate primary, held in August. It's a plausible test because the primary ballot is a lot like a general election: Everyone was eligible to vote, and candidates from all parties appeared on the same ballot, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election.

Polls are again under scrutiny, with some rushing in to proclaim their demise. But it isn't that polls have gotten worse. Rather, a mix of factors is creating unprecedented challenges for polling and for the public trying to understand it. Why? First, there are the perennial challenges that are consistently misunderstood. Surveys are well suited to measure beliefs and attitudes about issues, and they can capture respondents' candidate preferences pretty accurately. But predicting who will actually turn out to vote will always be an imperfect effort, largely because people are bad at predicting their own behavior and tend to report aspirations rather than realities. Continue Reading »

The Washington Post has admitted that polling for the midterm elections may suffer from the same inaccuracy issues that plagued that of previous elections.

Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot vowed Saturday to swiftly exercise the new Knesset's parliamentary majority, declaring that Israelis voted decisively against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government in last week's election. Anti-Netanyahu parties won 67 of the 120 Knesset seats, but Zionist anti-Netanyahu parties won only 48, with the other 19 going to two Arab parties, complicating would-be prime minister Eisenkot's path to the premiership, while leaving Netanyahu, whose outgoing coalition won 53 seats, also unable to build a majority government.

The Jungle Devours Europe Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker,The European Union has over four-hundred-fifty million people. The non-E.U. nations of Europe - including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Moldova, and Albania but excluding Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Turkey - have another hundred million people. Combined, Europe has over two hundred million more people than the United States and over four hundred million more people than the Russian Federation. As an "associate member" of the E.U., Canada would give Europe another forty million bodies.There is no reason why Europe should struggle to defend itself with this kind of population advantage. In fact, it is downright embarrassing that it depends on Americans from the other side of the ocean to secure its borders when the United States (with its significantly smaller population) has military obligations throughout the world. It has been eighty years since the Second World War, and somehow the European Establishment still hasn't figured out how to survive without American money and muscle.Professors and pundits toss out all kinds of reasons why this is the case: The Europeans were saddled with debt and destruction after ...

UK's NHS Trust Invites White Staff To Take £250 Course On Becoming 'Disruptors' Of Racism An NHS hospital group in southwest England has pitched its staff a £250 anti-racism course meant for "individuals who are white and live in the world as white people," as part of its Black History Month offerings.The course, From Allies to Disruptors, is run by the Birmingham equality charity brap and consists of six half-day online workshops running from November until April 2027.

It is aimed at NHS leaders but open to anyone interested.‘It’s almost as if they think only white people can ... Continue Reading »

After 10 Youths Beat German Teen, Mayor's Calls For More 'Civic Courage' Widely Mocked As Example Of 'State Failure' Authored by Remix News Staff via Remix News,The mayor of the German city of Frankfurt (Oder), Axel Strasser, has called on residents to demonstrate greater civic courage after bystanders did nothing as a group of teenagers repeatedly punched and kicked a 14-year-old student, including to the head, while he lay on the ground outside a high school earlier this month. Now, critics are calling his statement a recognition of the failure of state authority.After a security conference with police, prosecutors, schools, youth welfare, and immigration authorities, Strasser, an independent, said it was unacceptable that people stood by without intervening. "We truly appeal to this urban society to show civic courage," he said.The attack occurred on Oct. 14 outside the Heinrich-von-Kleist High School. Video of the assault, which circulated widely on social media, showed roughly 10 teenagers surrounding the victim, striking him and continuing the assault after he fell.The German government implemented a policy of mass migration, which has resulted in mob beatings and bullying of German students across the country. ...

"Serious Warning": Germany Misses November NatGas Storage Levels As Cold Snap Looms Germany faces an imminent cold snap with natural gas inventories well below their 15-year seasonal average, leaving Europe's largest economy with a limited buffer against back-to-back cold blasts. Prolonged cold would accelerate storage withdrawals and increase dependence on costly replacement LNG supplies from international markets. European NatGas prices are trading north of 100 euros per megawatt-hour.Germany's gas storage was about 61.2% full on Saturday, short of the 70% average it was supposed to reach by Sunday, according to AGSI figures reported by the German news agency DPA. The miss comes as Europe heads into an early cold spell. As we reported, European gas crossed the 100-euro "psychological mark" on Oct. 28 on winter supply fears.The target is a blend of two rules. The Federal Network Agency's storage page sets 80% as the November 1 level for every site, and 45% for six named ones: Bad Lauchstädt, Frankenthal, Hähnlein, Rehden, Stockstadt and Uelsen. The agency's overall requirement works out to 70%, according to the energy site Clean Thinking.The government says the shortfall is not a problem. An Economy Ministry ... Continue Reading »

Poland Is The Symptom And Europe Is The Patient Authored by Larry C. Johnson via Sonar21,The midnight brawl at Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is not a Polish problem. It is the local flare-up of a continental disease. Across Europe, when voters pick the wrong candidate, the establishment reaches for a judge, an intelligence service or the EU's checkbook, and calls the result "defending democracy." The Journal of Democracy wrote the textbook. Warsaw is the teaching hospital.The articleIn December 2023, two months after Donald Tusk's coalition pushed Law and Justice (PiS) out of power, Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura of Kultura Liberalna published a how-to guide in the Journal of Democracy. The title says it all: "How to Dismantle an Illiberal Democracy."Consider the provenance. At the time, the Journal was the flagship publication of the National Endowment for Democracy, the outfit that does in daylight what the CIA used to do at night. It split from NED this year after DOGE cut off NED's funding in 2025, and it is now independent and partnered with Stanford's CDDRL. In 2023, though, this was the democracy-promotion establishment telling Warsaw how to clean house.The ... Continue Reading »

Why Are So Many Countries Suddenly Warning Their Citizens To Prepare For An Emergency And Stockpile Essential Survival Supplies? Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse,What in the world is going on? Why are governments all over the planet suddenly encouraging their citizens to become preppers? Do they know something that they aren't telling us? If it was just one nation that was suddenly instructing people to stockpile food, water and other essential supplies, that wouldn't be a big deal. But it isn't just one nation. As you will see below, quite a long list of countries have simultaneously decided that now is the time for everyone to get prepared. So what has prompted this sudden sense of urgency?For some reason, governments in Europe seem to have more of a sense of urgency than anyone else...Governments in the UK, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and France have encouraged households to keep food, water, medicines and other essentials available for emergencies.I can't recall a time when so many European governments have been so concerned about making sure that their citizens are prepared for an emergency.In the UK, the "Be ...

Chinese Company Develops $1,000 AI-Powered Laser System To Kill Mosquitoes A Chinese startup claims it has developed a $1,000 machine capable of hunting mosquitoes with artificial intelligence and shooting them down with a laser, bringing a futuristic approach to an age-old household nuisance, according to the NY Times.Photon Matrix, based in Changzhou, says it has already secured 5,000 prepaid orders for its Laser Mosquito Air Defense System and is preparing to begin large-scale manufacturing. The company is also working to secure regulatory clearance in China, Europe and the United States.The machine borrows technology from autonomous vehicles, using lidar to monitor a designated area and identify tiny moving targets. It sends out 100,000 low-intensity laser pulses every second to locate insects before directing a much stronger beam at their wings.In a recent demonstration, mosquitoes reportedly dropped from the air in rapid succession, accompanied by brief flashes of colored light. The laser destroys their ability to fly without necessarily killing them immediately. According to company founder Wang Chuan, some disabled mosquitoes can remain alive for days.The Times writes that the biggest obstacle may be safety. The system employs a Class 4 ...

Chinese Couriers Posed As Federal Agents To Scam Over $10 Million In Cash From Elderly Victims In 19 States A federal judge in Pennsylvania sentenced three Chinese nationals this month for their roles in a scheme in which couriers went to elderly victims' homes, posed as federal law enforcement officers and took cash they said would be protected, the Justice Department announced. More than 50 victims in 19 states lost more than $10 million.The scheme began with a computer "pop-up" that falsely told victims their computers or bank accounts had been compromised, according to the release.

Down Under, Going Under: Australian Housing Implodes As RBA Hikes Into The Slump For three decades, the one trade every Australian knew by heart was "buy property in Sydney." Now it's disintegrating.That's the gist of a Bloomberg feature from this summer, titled "One of the World's Longest Housing Booms Is Cracking in Sydney," which at the time read like a slightly alarmist look at a market that was "only" 3.6% off its peak. Two months, one rate hike and a whole lot of downward revisions later, it reads more like the opening chapter. According to the October Cotality data released just hours ago, capital-city prices fell another 1.4% last month and are now 8.1% below their March peak, with Sydney down 9.4% from a year ago. That's already most of the way to Goldman's latest peak-to-trough forecast of -12% (cut for the second time in two months), which would be a historically large drop for a country where housing is, well, basically the economy.And the Reserve Bank of Australia is about to make it worse: on Tuesday the RBA is widely expected to hike for the fifth time this ...

House GOP Demands Smithsonian Docs After Exhibit Ties US Military Doctrine to 'Domicide' Authored by AG News Staff via American Greatness,House Republicans are demanding answers from the Smithsonian Institution after an internal investigation revealed that a museum exhibit linked the U.S. military to "domicide," the deliberate destruction of civilian homes to inflict human suffering.Reps. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, and Brian Jack, R-Ga., sent a letter Thursday to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III requesting extensive records concerning the controversial exhibit and the institution's oversight procedures.The investigation is part of Republican efforts to remove politically charged historical presentations at federally supported museums."The Subcommittee is concerned that the Smithsonian has cultivated a scholarly community that supports insinuations that the deliberate destruction of homes to intentionally cause human suffering is intertwined with the military doctrine of the United States," the lawmakers wrote.According to findings from the Smithsonian's internal watchdog in June, the exhibit was originally designed to showcase 10 New York City buildings in a single room as part of the Design Triennial.Instead, organizers transformed the installation into a presentation featuring homes destroyed ...

Radiant Wins First-Ever DOE OK For Full-Power Microreactor As Nuclear Stocks Crash To Multi-Year Lows For the first time ever, Washington has signed off on a commercial nuclear microreactor running at full power. On Wall Street, nobody seems to care.On Thursday, the Department of Energy approved the Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) for LA-based Radiant's Kaleidos, a 1-megawatt, truck-transportable reactor that is now sitting inside the DOME test bed at Idaho National Laboratory. According to the company, it is the only microreactor design to secure DOE safety approval covering operation at power, as opposed to the zero-power criticality tests that every other entrant in the DOE pilot program has run so far.And yet the stocks most levered to the small modular reactor story are trading like the industry is going out of business: Oklo (OKLO) closed Friday at $25.25, down 86% from its October 2025 peak and at its lowest since April 2025, while NuScale (SMR) is down 89% and sitting at a price last seen in April 2024.Regular readers know we have been tracking the microreactor buildout since well before it was a meme (and long before it stopped ...

"The Pope Doesn't Take Sides": Should A Foreign Head Of State Be Able To Vote In United States Elections? Authored by Jonathan Turley via Jonathan Turley,"So, the Pope doesn't take sides. Prevost has another opinion, but we won't do that now."That funny quip from Pope Leo XIV (born Robert Prevost) referred to the historic game in Rome when the Villanova and Notre Dame basketball teams play each other.However, a story this week raised a different question of when the Pope, as opposed to Prevost, can "take sides."This month, American-born Pope Leo XIV became the first pope ever to vote in a U.S. election.A longtime Chicago native, the Pope mailed an absentee ballot to Will County, and the clerk's office confirmed to Fox News Digital that "Robert Prevost is on the list of individuals who requested a Vote by Mail ballot." There is no question that the Pope can vote in the Holy See. Indeed, he is the ultimate and final vote in the Vatican, but can he actually vote in Illinois races (including the governor's race involving incumbent Democrat J.B. Pritzker)? The answer appears to be yes, but it ... Continue Reading »

Anthropic's IPO Will Make Its Effective Altruist-Aligned Founders Worth Hundreds Of Billions Authored by Jordan Schachtel via American Greatness,Anthropic's upcoming IPO is going to make its founders very, very rich. And unfortunately for freedom-loving Americans, it will dramatically expand the liquid resources of the Effective Altruism (EA)-linked network surrounding the company, putting extraordinary amounts of cash behind people and groups that are trying to manipulate society into bending to its ideals.At a reported potential valuation of $1.5-$2 trillion, Anthropic's seven cofounders will hold approximately $150-$200 billion in combined equity. They have already pledged 80 percent of their personal Anthropic equity to philanthropic causes. Of course, we know how that game works in politics. "Philanthropy" quickly becomes a weaponized political agenda. See: Soros, Steyer, etc.Dario Amodei and his cofounders will soon acquire the capacity to reshape an entire policy ecosystem in Washington, D.C., and it would behoove lawmakers and policymakers to get ready for the unprecedented infusion of EA-aligned capital and resources soon entering the system.The moneyAnthropic released its S-1 IPO filing earlier this week, and it provides a much firmer basis for estimating founder wealth.
