Romania PM fends off far-right challenge in presidential first roundThe Conservatives have called on Sir Keir Starmer to reject an international arrest warrant issued for Benjamin Netanyahu as they accused the Government of holding a “nonsensical” position on the issue. In a letter to the Prime Minister, shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel and shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick claimed the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) had “no proper basis in international law”. They said the UK’s refusal to explicitly say whether or not the Israeli premier would be detained if he arrived in the country “opens the farcical spectre of your Government trying to sanction the arrest” of an ally to Britain. Criticising the ICC warrant, the shadow ministers said: “It is hard to escape the conclusion this is an activist decision, motivated by politics and not the law.” They argued the court was established to pursue cases in instances where countries do not have robust and independent judiciaries, which could not be said of Israel. “The UK Government’s response to the decision has been nonsensical,” they said. “On Friday, the Home Secretary refused to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be detained if he travelled to the UK. “This opens the farcical spectre of your Government trying to sanction the arrest on UK soil of the leader of an ally of the UK, while you continue a diplomatic charm offensive with the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping. “It falls to you to clarify the Government’s position – now. The Government must make clear that it does not support an arrest warrant being issued which has no proper basis in international law.” Downing Street on Friday indicated that Mr Netanyahu could face arrest if he entered the UK, refusing to comment on “hypotheticals” but saying Britain would always follow its “legal obligations”. The International Criminal Court Act 2001 states that a Secretary of State must, on receipt of a request for arrest from the ICC, “transmit the request and the documents accompanying it to an appropriate judicial officer”. Asked whether the UK would comply with requirements under the Act, Sir Keir’s spokesman said: “Yes, the Government would fulfil its obligations under the Act and indeed its legal obligations.” The ICC has issued a warrant for Mr Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Number 10 previously said the domestic process linked to ICC arrest warrants has never been used to date by the UK because no-one wanted by the international court had visited the country. It added that Israel remained a “key partner across a range of areas”. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “It is important that we have a dialogue with Israel at all levels to reach the ceasefire that we all want to see, to bring an end to the violence, to protect civilians and ensure the release of hostages.” The ICC also issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’s armed wing, over the October 7 2023 attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. A domestic court process would be required before Mr Netanyahu faced arrest if he set foot in the UK. The ICC said there are “reasonable grounds to believe” Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant were responsible for “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts”. The court’s pre-trial chamber also found “reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant each bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”. The impact of the warrants is likely to be limited since Israel and its major ally, the US, are not members of the ICC.Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty; Brittany Mahomes/Instagram ' son wasn't feeling the holiday cheer when he posed for some photos with Santa Claus!

Kenya has now walked the data protection journey for five years, a period that has been marked with very unique experiences and that has taught us immense lessons as we charted unknown waters. While we may not have started the journey long ago, those five years have taught us that enacting the Data Protection Act in 2019 was a bold step for the country, towards protecting the privacy of citizens. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has been in place for an even shorter period (since 2020), but the milestones we have achieved as a nation have started us off on a journey that we will never step back, protecting the dignity of every citizen through protection of their personal information. Data protection in Kenya, like anywhere else, is a critical component towards strengthening the right to privacy, digital security, and ensuring regulatory compliance in the digital age. Moreover, in the backdrop of the global advancements in digital technologies and the surge in emerging technologies, strong data protection frameworks become vital in leveraging opportunities for economic growth. Today, many Kenyans have become conscious of giving out their personal information since everyone wants the assurance that it will not be mishandled or used for the wrong purposes. This is a reflection of continued growth in our society, a proof that personal information is no longer a product to be treated just casually. And with Kenya’s digital revolution matching alongside global trends, immense networking and even economic opportunities that have come with this new sector have also brought forth the challenge of protecting users’ personal data, since we all leave our personal information when we register at different websites and other internet platforms. In a world that is rapidly digitising, new threats regarding data protection emerge on a daily basis, but we always have to be prepared. Over the four years, the ODPC has issued eight guidance notes, documents that have been key in enforcing compliance with personal data protection by thousands of data controllers and processors across diverse sectors of the economy. Through the support of National Assembly, we have also developed several regulations to entrench data privacy in Kenya, including Data Protection (General) Regulations, 2021, Data Protection (Complaints Handling and Enforcement Procedures) Regulations, 2021 and Data Protection (Registration of Data Controllers & Data Processors) Regulations, 2021, helping us regulate different aspects of personal data protection. Engaging the public on data protection matters while also educating data controllers and processors on the importance of protecting people’s personal information is very impactful and is setting us ahead to lead regional and global conversations on data protection and data governance These have been some of the areas the ODPC has focused on over the past four years since creation of the office, ensuring that Kenyans personal information when they register at a building, are served at hospitals or different companies where they provide their personal information in order to get services, is treated with care. In recognition that some challenges with regards to data protection affect just small sections of the economy, we have also developed guidance notes on data protection, four of which are sector-specific. What is clear is that more Kenyans are becoming aware of their privacy rights and we are receiving an increasing number of informed complaints, a trend that has also had an impact on the ODPC which has enhanced its capacity to serve Kenyans more efficiently. As a result, we have resolved 88 per cent of the complaints we have received from members of the public to date. Stay informed. Subscribe to our newsletter However, even as we forge ahead, major challenges remain. Key among them is the rapid advancement in technologies. Also, while we continue to enlighten the public on its rights with regards to the protection of personal data, there still remains some work to be done to bring everyone into the fold.

Ignoring Kashmiri Voices
The NHS has been told to pause a forthcoming trial that campaign groups say is without in place as recommended by the . It is the first trial of puberty blockers since Baroness Cass, a leading paediatrician, published a report in April that said the evidence base for their effectiveness was weak. In a letter to , the Health Secretary, gender-critical activists called for NHS England to agree to several conditions before proceeding with the trial. These included a “strict set of inclusion and exclusion criteria” to prevent vulnerable children taking part, establishing “services in place to support those patients who are harmed by their participation” and an equivalent trial of psychosocial interventions for those with early childhood onset . Puberty blockers have not been routinely prescribed on the NHS since the Cass review was published. The protocol for the trial is set to be published this month with recruitment expected to begin in January. The signatories to the letter, authored by Genspect UK, include LGB Alliance, Thoughtful Therapists, Transgender Trend and other activist groups. They wrote: “We believe the study faces significant practical and ethical challenges, particularly if it aims to be compliant with, and build on, the findings of the Cass review. “Given the historic failings identified by Cass in the way research has been conducted in this area, we believe there is a strong public interest in transparency and openness.” The campaigners are attempting to put pressure on the health service to follow through on the recommendations of Cass’s final report, which was accepted in full earlier this year by the NHS as well as both the Labour and Conservative parties. Baroness Cass told The Telegraph: “The final report and recommendations from the review were published in April 2024. The recommendations were accepted in full by NHS England and it is now for it, together with partner organisations and stakeholders, to work through how they are best implemented.” A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “The NHS is reforming gender identity services to ensure safe, evidence-based care for young people. The design of the puberty blocker trial and wider work to improve services for children and young people with gender dysphoria have been carefully developed within the framework provided by Dr Hilary Cass’ review. “Any future clinical trial will be subject to rigorous ethical oversight, with comprehensive safeguarding measures and support services in place for participants. The trial design, including inclusion criteria and safety protocols, will be thoroughly scrutinised to protect young people’s wellbeing.” An NHS England spokesperson said: “The fact is any trial will be subject to the usual stringent safeguards, follow best practice, developed by experts and all overseen by NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research), as well as having to secure the usual ethical and study design approvals. “A national research and oversight board has also been established to ensure research is embedded at the heart of new services as they are shaped and developed, chaired by Sir Simon Wessely [regius professor of psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London] and includes Dr Cass as a member.”Airborne LiDAR Market Mapping the Future with High-Precision Aerial Survey Technologies 11-23-2024 12:04 PM CET | IT, New Media & Software Press release from: SkyQuest Technology Group Airborne LiDAR Market "In recent years, the global Airborne LiDAR Market has witnessed a dynamic shift, influenced by changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and a growing emphasis on sustainability.

Trump turns to outsider to shake up Navy, but his lack of military experience raises concernsUnion Pacific Corporation Declares Fourth Quarter 2024 Dividend
A parting of ways between Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets is considered imminent. Watch an average of 3 games each week during the regular season, plus every game of the NFL Postseason including the Super Bowl, LIVE on ESPN with Kayo. New to Kayo? Start your free trial today > According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini , the 40-year-old future Hall of Fame quarterback would like to play on next season, but not for the Jets — whose downward spiral this season has seen the dismissals of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. Rodgers, whose 3-8 Jets are tied with New England for last place in the AFC East, has reportedly had a ‘strained’ relationship with owner Woody Johnson for multiple months. Russini said in her report: “It appears increasingly likely that the four-time MVP, who is banged up, could be placed on injured reserve or even benched in the coming weeks, signalling the end of his disastrous time with the Jets.” Russini came to the conclusion Rodgers ‘still wants to play’ in the NFL in 2025, but not with New York. “Without Joe Douglas (and) without Robert Saleh there — the two men largely responsible for bringing him from Green Bay to New York — now, his future is even more in question (in terms of) whether or not he will be back in New York,” ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said of the situation. “First, Aaron Rodgers will have to answer whether he wants to play, whether he wants to play for the New York Jets, and clearly, with that organisation taking on a whole new direction right now, there is every possibility that Rodgers will be moving on — whether that’s to another team or another line of work.” The former Green Bay Packers legend’s 2,442 passing yards this year sits 11th in the league, while his QBR of 50.9 ranks a lowly 25th among qualified players. He has thrown 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 games. The 20-year veteran signal-caller signed a three-year, $112.5 million contract with the Jets ahead of the 2023 season, having arrived in New York in April of that year as a marquee trade addition. However, a season-ending Achilles injury in his Jets debut in Week 1 delayed what the franchise’s stakeholders hoped would be a return to winning relevance. Instead, despite Rodgers’ availability this season, the Jets have again disenfranchised fans with poor play and an apparent absence of in-house alignment. The Jets remain plagued by a 14-year playoff drought; the longest in the major North American professional sports leagues.

Underground Development Commences at Hugo North Extension; Additional High-Grade Intercepts Released Entrée Resources Ltd. ("Entrée") announced the commencement of underground development work at Oyu Tolgoi Lift 1 Panel 1 on the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi joint venture property in November. This initial phase involves up to 212 metres of lateral development in the southwest corner of the Hugo North Extension ("HNE"), as outlined in the 2024 Oyu Tolgoi Mine Plan, intended to support the development of mine infrastructure. Entrée continues to advance discussions with Rio Tinto and Oyu Tolgoi LLC ("OTLLC") to finalize either (i) the execution and delivery of the existing JV agreement between the parties or, (ii) conversion to an alternative agreement of equivalent economic value to govern their relationship during the development and mining stages of the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi joint venture property. Entrée, Rio Tinto and OTLLC have identified a potential pathway forward, with corresponding definitive agreements subject to the approval of the entire OTLLC board. Entrée also released additional results from the 2023 drilling program at HNE, which includes both infill and extension holes from surface and underground. In addition to confirming long, high-grade intervals within the existing Hugo North Lift 2 block cave footprint, drill hole EGD 174 was terminated in mineralization at a depth of 1,800 metres, highlighting that the deposit remains open at depth with continuity for deeper potential lifts at Oyu Tolgoi. At depths, the Hugo North deposit dips to the northwest with an increasing proportion located on the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi joint venture ground. Underground geotechnical holes UGD 807A, UGD 807B , and UGD 808 confirmed continuity of mineralization outside the potential Hugo North Lift 2 footprint. Highlights from the surface drill results include: Highlights from the underground drill results include: During 2024, drilling has continued at HNE with all holes targeting the potential Lift 2 mineralized footprint. As of October 31, 2024 , OTLLC had advised Entrée that approximately 5,287 metres of underground drilling in 23 diamond drill holes and 2,476 metres of surface drilling in four diamond drill holes had been completed. Entrée will report on the drill results once they have been received and reviewed. For more information, including full details of the drill results, visit www.entreeresourcesltd.com and refer to the press releases dated October 29 and November 4, 2024 . Sandstorm has a copper and precious metal stream with Entrée on the HNE whereby the Company has the right to purchase 0.42% of the copper, 5.62% of gold, and 4.26% of silver produced for ongoing cash payments of $0.50 per pound of copper, $220 per ounce of gold, and $5 per ounce of silver. Equinox Gold to Restart Mining at Aurizona Piaba Pit; Expansion Plans Ongoing Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox Gold") expects to resume mining at its Aurizona Piaba pit in the fourth quarter of 2024, following remediation from a geotechnical event caused by persistent heavy rains earlier in the year. Mining has been paused at Piaba since March 2024 , while ore feed at Aurizona has relied on existing stockpiles and mining from the Tatajuba open pit. A revised mine plan incorporating the Tatajuba, Boa Esperança, and Piaba pits has been prepared, and Equinox Gold has concluded that the geotechnical event does not have a significant negative impact on the long-term economic performance of Aurizona. Despite weather challenges, exploration activities in 2024 have included over 6,500 metres of regional drilling at Aurizona, focused on high potential targets. In the first nine months of 2024, nearly 3,500 metres of drilling has focused on resource delineation of the western extension of the Tatajuba deposit. Expansion plans at Aurizona aim to extend the mine life beyond 10 years and increase annual gold production through the development of an underground mine that would operate concurrently with the open pits. Engineering studies for the underground mine beneath the Piaba pit are ongoing, with efforts focused on refining ventilation systems, access layouts, and ore extraction plans. Construction of a portal and underground decline is expected to begin in 2025, enabling underground drilling and bulk sampling and ultimately supporting production operations. For more information, visit www.equinoxgold.com and refer to the company's 2024 third quarter Management Discussion & Analysis. Sandstorm has a sliding scale NSR royalty on the Aurizona mine, including the Piaba, Tatajuba, and Boa Esperança pits. When gold prices are above $2,000 per ounce, Sandstorm's royalty is a 5% NSR. Chapada Optimization Plan Improves Project Cash Flows Following optimization efforts at Lundin Mining Corporation's ("Lundin Mining") Chapada mine in Brazil , mining costs have decreased by 46% compared to 2022. In addition to improved haulage cycle times, fleet availability, and blasting fragmentation, the stockpile feed levels were also optimized. A redesigned mining plan was implemented with a lower annual stripping requirement, reducing annual mining rates by 30 million tonnes. These changes are expected to streamline operations while maintaining output, further improving free cash flow generated from the mine.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO U.S. SECURITYHOLDERS The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which became effective February 25, 2019 . The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021 . As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Corporation is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions, the absence of control over mining operations from which the Company will purchase gold, other commodities or receive royalties from, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, risks in the marketability of minerals, fluctuations in the price of gold and other commodities, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, stock market volatility, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks to Sandstorm" in the Company's annual report for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's annual information form dated March 27, 2024 available at www.sedarplus.com . Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained or incorporated by reference, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
