At the ‘We the Women’ event in Dubai, renowned therapist Marisa Peer delivered a compelling message to a packed audience, urging women to rewrite their inner dialogue and reclaim their power. Peer, the founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), emphasized the societal barriers that often hold women back, including self-doubt, perfectionism, and ingrained gendered narratives. She called for a shift in mindset, encouraging women to embrace their flaws and strengthen their self-belief. Peer highlighted the importance of empowering young girls early on, suggesting that parents and mentors should focus on instilling ambition and confidence rather than traditional roles. She also addressed the burden of societal judgment that women face, noting that 80% of women experience imposter syndrome. Peer stressed the transformative power of positive self-talk, advocating for affirmations like ‘I’m enough’ and ‘I matter.’ She urged women to let go of the pursuit of perfection, introducing her concept of being ‘flawsome’—embracing imperfections as a source of strength. Peer’s talk centered on the idea that beliefs shape reality, and she encouraged women to take control of their thoughts to create a more fulfilling life. Her message resonated deeply, offering practical strategies for women to elevate their self-esteem and achieve their full potential.

France arrests 5 new suspects in Louvre jewel heist probe
French authorities have made significant progress in the investigation of the high-profile Louvre jewel heist, arresting five new suspects on October 30, 2025. This development follows the apprehension of a third suspect earlier in the week, as reported by French TV station BFM. The latest arrests occurred in the Paris region late on Wednesday, with one individual suspected of being present at the crime scene during the robbery. The heist, which took place on October 19, saw four hooded thieves steal precious jewels from the Louvre’s Apollo gallery, home to the French Crown Jewels, during the museum’s opening hours. The incident has raised serious concerns about security at the world’s most-visited museum. Two men arrested last weekend have reportedly ‘partially admitted’ their involvement in the break-in, which involved entering through an upstairs window. The Paris prosecutor has been actively pursuing leads, and the recent arrests mark a crucial step in unraveling the full extent of the crime.

Liverpool thrashed by Palace, holders Newcastle through in League Cup
Liverpool’s recent woes continued as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the League Cup on Wednesday, marking their sixth loss in seven games across all competitions. Manager Arne Slot opted to rest most of his regular starters, a strategy mirrored by other Premier League clubs, leaving the Reds’ second-string lineup exposed. Ismaila Sarr was the star of the night, scoring twice for Palace, while Yeremy Pino added a third to compound Liverpool’s misery. The match at Anfield saw Liverpool reduced to 10 men after Amara Nallo’s red card, further dampening the spirits of the home fans. This defeat marked the first time since 1934 that Liverpool lost a domestic cup match at Anfield by three goals without scoring. Meanwhile, holders Newcastle United advanced to the quarterfinals with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, thanks to goals from Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade. Arsenal also secured their spot with a 2-0 win over Brighton, while Manchester City and Chelsea overcame Swansea City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively, in thrilling encounters.

Dubai: Gold prices hold steady, 24K sees slight rise to Dh479
In the wake of the US Federal Reserve’s second consecutive quarter-point interest rate reduction, gold prices in Dubai remained steady, with 24K gold experiencing a slight increase to Dh479 per gram on Thursday morning, up from Dh476 the previous day. This stability follows a week of market volatility after gold reached record highs on October 20. Globally, spot gold prices were recorded at $3952.79 per ounce, while silver stood at $47.52 at 9:30 AM UAE time. Other gold variants in Dubai, including 22K, 21K, and 18K, were priced at Dh443.50, Dh425.25, and Dh364.25 per gram, respectively. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, noted that the recent correction in gold prices is marginal compared to the significant rally the metal has experienced over the past year. Hansen emphasized that while the correction is notable, it remains relatively small given the extent of the rally. He suggested that the market is currently in a consolidation phase and predicted that gold prices could eventually climb higher, potentially reaching $5,000 by 2026. However, Hansen cautioned that it is too early to determine whether the correction has concluded or if further adjustments are on the horizon.

Greek airline will run direct flights to Baghdad starting in December
In a significant move to enhance bilateral relations, Greece has announced the launch of direct flights from Athens to Baghdad, marking a new chapter in the economic and cultural ties between the two nations. Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis revealed on Thursday during his visit to Iraq that Aegean Airlines will commence its inaugural flight on December 16. This development is particularly noteworthy as no other European airline currently operates direct flights to the Iraqi capital. Gerapetritis emphasized the potential of this initiative to significantly bolster economic and cultural connections between the peoples of Greece and Iraq. While Aegean Airlines and a few other carriers already service Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region, Baghdad has largely been avoided due to historical security concerns. The security situation in Iraq has improved since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the subsequent defeat of the Islamic State group, which once controlled vast territories in Iraq and Syria. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein welcomed the new flight route, highlighting ongoing discussions between the two countries on cooperation in agriculture, investment, and tourism. He noted that recent visits by European leaders to Iraq reflect the country’s growing stability and its enhanced international standing.

South Korean court rules against K-pop group NewJeans in label dispute over ‘mistreatment’
In a significant legal ruling, a South Korean court has dismissed claims by the popular K-pop group NewJeans, who sought to terminate their contract with their management label, ADOR, citing allegations of mistreatment. The Seoul Central District Court upheld the validity of the contract, marking the second legal victory for ADOR in this ongoing dispute. The court rejected the group’s argument that mistreatment had irreparably damaged their trust in the agency, stating that the level of trust was not sufficiently compromised to justify contract termination. NewJeans, a five-member girl group under HYBE—the parent company of ADOR and the powerhouse behind global sensation BTS—had announced their intention to leave ADOR in November, sparking a highly publicized legal battle. ADOR had previously filed for an injunction to prevent the group from engaging in independent commercial activities, which the court granted in March. The dispute intensified following allegations that HYBE forced out ADOR’s former CEO, Min Hee-jin, a key figure in NewJeans’ success. The group demanded her reinstatement, but HYBE refused, leading to public accusations of career sabotage and workplace harassment. The court clarified that the contract did not mandate Min’s leadership of ADOR. ADOR welcomed the ruling and expressed hope for reconciliation, announcing plans for a new album release.
