1. Proton to Re-Interview Staff Over AI Use, With Jobs at Stake
-- Proton will re-interview employees about how they use AI at work, according to a leaked internal email seen by 404 Media that says the assessments may lead to changes in roles, responsibilities and continued employment.
-- The interviews run from November 4 to 11, with interviewers drawn from outside each employee's reporting line; turning AI literacy from a training goal into a retention test at a privacy-focused firm points to the same filter spreading across software employers.

2. Syria Bars Women From New Defense and Security University Courses
-- Admission rules announced this month restrict women from some courses at Syria's new National University of Defense Sciences and almost all at its Syrian University for Security Sciences; Human Rights Watch says they breach the country's international legal obligations.
-- Graduates must commit to military service or up to 20 years in the internal security forces, steering women away from careers inside the security services; textbook edits that added headscarves to images of women make schools a test of how far the new government will push conservative social policy.

3. Egypt's Parliament Authorises Military Support for Saudi Arabia
-- Egypt's parliament approved sending military support to Saudi Arabia, with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi saying the mission is about defending the kingdom's land and borders, Channel News Asia reported.
-- Placing Egyptian forces at the disposal of Saudi air and border defence widens Cairo's stake in Yemen's war and in a Gulf security order that still leans on US escorts and bypass pipelines rather than restored shipping.
