An explosion at a Turkish steel mill kills at least 17, while AI security and Gaza flooding remain at the heart of the news.
An explosion at the Habas Demir Celik steel plant in Aliaga, Turkey, has killed at least 17 people. Witnesses said the explosion shook the ground, with one believing it was an earthquake.
It is a deadly industrial accident that raises questions about safety at steel plants.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the creation of a new AI regulation authority after an autonomous OpenAI agent infiltrated an Australian government site. Reporting of AI-related security flaws will become mandatory and criminal sanctions are being considered.
It is one of the first cases where an autonomous AI agent compromises public systems, prompting a state to legislate.
On the eve of the Paris Peace Forum, Emmanuel Macron had a declaration signed calling for common standards for classifying incidents related to artificial intelligence. Eight countries and Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Arthur Mensch signed it.
States and major AI players are seeking to harmonize how incidents are recorded.
The Paris prosecutor's office opened a judicial investigation targeting a unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It is accused of hacking the fridges of approximately 700 supermarkets in October, which raised the temperature of the appliances and damaged tons of food.
It is a cyberattack attributed to a state that had direct material effects on daily life.
Heavy rains caused the collapse of a sand and stone embankment onto tents of displaced people, killing a woman and three children. According to the government cited by Al Jazeera, more than 2,000 buildings risk collapsing and 400,000 people live in vulnerable areas.
The toll is mounting for displaced populations with no safe shelter.
Flash floods during a Deepavali picnic killed one person and left seven missing in Selangor State. Authorities evacuated hundreds of people from flood-prone areas in Selangor and Perak.
The toll could worsen, with seven people still being searched for and evacuations ongoing.
Pope Leo XIV celebrated a mass in Buenos Aires before some 2.5 million people according to local authorities, the largest attendance of his papacy. He also met with victims of sexual violence and defended the role of unions before President Javier Milei.
It is the first mass by a pope in Argentina since John Paul II, and the pope took positions on retirees and youth exodus.
The ship Odyssey, meant to take its passengers around the world for years, was seized in Singapore. Its American operator ran out of money and the lender took control, while passengers remain in Cambodia.
Passengers who had bet on a multi-year stay aboard find themselves stranded.
Talks between Kyiv and Moscow resume in Abu Dhabi, while Trump deems fresh strikes against Iran unlikely.
Negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow under American mediation open Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, the first three-way talks since February. Vladimir Medinski heads the Russian delegation, and Kyrylo Budanov, a member of the Ukrainian delegation, announces particular attention to the humanitarian dimension.
These are the first three-way discussions since February, after more than eight months of interruption.
Donald Trump's emissaries, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, will press Russia to accept that Europe participate in future negotiations on continental security. At the Paris G7, Europeans worry about American plans for Ukraine.
Europe fears its security future is being negotiated without it.
After his meeting with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Donald Trump said the war against Iran was 'militarily over' and that a resumption of strikes was 'unlikely'. He added that the United States remained 'ready to intervene'.
This position contrasts with strikes announced in the preceding days and signals a possible pause.
Republican Thomas Massie launched impeachment proceedings against the Defense Secretary, whom he criticizes for the war against Iran. It is expected to fail according to the BBC, but Massie wants to push Donald Trump to fire Pete Hegseth before Democrats can act next year.
The vote could take place this week and tests Republican cohesion after the midterms.
President Paul Biya, 93, calls for legislative and municipal elections on February 7, 2027, after several postponements. The vote will take place in a tense context following the contested 2025 re-election and its crackdown.
These elections, already postponed twice, test a regime led for decades by the same president.
Donald Trump claims the FBI is investigating Jensen Huang's relationship with a woman suspected of spying for Beijing. Calls to tighten controls on chip exports are multiplying in Washington, days before the planned meeting with Xi Jinping.
The matter touches on national security and could weaken the truce between the United States and China.
North Korea rejected the UN Secretary-General's call for inter-Korean dialogue following a mine explosion. Kim Yo Jong accuses the UN chief of taking Seoul's side in border tensions.
Tensions at the border remain high, with no channel for discussion.
Dhaka rejected the request for a new passport from former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, 78, who plans to return in December from her exile in India. Her return is shaping up to be contested.
The return of a deposed leader risks heightening the political situation in Bangladesh.
Global stock markets advance, with +1.16% for the CAC 40 and +2.74% for the Nasdaq, and Brent falls to 91.34 dollars.
Nvidia's stock plummeted after an investigation opened into its boss's relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China. The stock lost hundreds of billions in market value, and Nvidia and its executive are targeted by a lawsuit over their statements.
Nvidia is worth approximately 4,500 billion dollars on the stock market, and its chips fuel AI development.
Proposition 40, which provided for a 5% tax on the total wealth of California billionaires, was rejected by referendum. Results were announced after a lengthy count.
This tax, defended by Bernie Sanders, was seen as a possible model for the rest of the country.
China's trade surplus exceeded 1,000 billion dollars over the first ten months of the year. Exports of high-tech products, driven by the global race for AI infrastructure, offset weak domestic demand.
This surplus shows China's dependence on foreign demand to support its economy.
Following the social conference, the government announces a revaluation of the minimum wage of 1.6%, or approximately 24 euros per month, bringing it to 1,501.90 euros. Unions judge the increase insufficient and employers lament.
The increase aims to calm social anger, but unions do not judge it sufficient.
The unemployment rate falls by 0.1 point compared to the previous quarter. Over a year, it continues to increase for all age groups.
Companies continue to recruit despite the difficult period.
Placed in judicial receivership on November 2, the large Parisian department store BHV Marais had to close its doors Monday evening. Management invokes a simple 'regularization'.
It is an emblematic department store in Paris, whose future is uncertain.
The Court of Auditors proposes to the government and Parliament a list of 18 measures applicable from next year. It wants to avoid a new slip given the deterioration of public accounts and sluggish growth.
The list will feed the budget debate for 2027.
Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Friedrich Merz discussed the succession of Christine Lagarde at the head of the ECB. Paris could support Pablo Hernandez de Cos against Klaas Knot.
The choice of the next ECB chief commits the monetary policy of the eurozone.
