Oct 3 (Reuters) – The FBI has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks extremist groups, after conservatives criticized the nonprofit for including slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's organization on its list of hate groups. In a post on X on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel accused the SPLC of turning into a "partisan smear machine" rather than a civil rights advocate and said his agency had severed all ties. "Their so-called 'hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence," Patel said, without offering details. The SPLC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The FBI also did not immediately respond to a request for more details, including Patel's specific allegations, but a Justice Department official who was unauthorized to speak on the record said the working relationship had already been winding down for months. The SPLC's "Hate Map" lists nearly 1,400 groups, including Kirk's Arizona-based Turning Point USA. The SPLC describes the conservative youth organization as an "anti-government" group. Patel's decision came two days after he announced that the FBI would end all partnerships with the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish organization that tracks antisemitism. The ADL had included Turning Point in a "Glossary of Extremism and Hate" before deleting the entire list from its website after criticism from billionaire Elon Musk and other conservatives. Kirk was assassinated last month during an appearance at a Utah college campus, deepening fears about rising U.S. political violence and prompting President Donald Trump to escalate his rhetoric against what he calls the "radical left." The 22-year-old suspect in the case, Tyler Robinson, told a roommate he acted due to Kirk's "hatred," prosecutors have said. Authorities have said they believe Robinson acted alone. In a post on X on Thursday noting that Kirk was briefly mentioned in an SPLC newsletter the day before his death, Musk accused SPLC of being "guilty" of inciting Kirk's murder, without providing evidence.

* Billionaire Babis's ANO expected to win but not majority * ANO pledges higher wages, tax cuts * Less support for Ukraine, rejects NATO defence spending target * ANO may turn to anti-EU, anti-NATO parties to support cabinet * FACTBOX on the election (Adds comments from Babis in paragraphs 5, 11, Fiala in paragraph 16, voter in paragraph 18) By Jan Lopatka and Radan Sprongl PRAGUE/OSTRAVA, Czech Republic, Oct 3 (Reuters) – Czechs began voting on Friday in an election likely to oust their centre-right government, with polls favouring populist billionaire Andrej Babis to return to power on pledges to raise wages and lift growth while reducing aid for Ukraine. The change would boost Europe's populist anti-immigration camp and could complicate consensus on climate policies. Czechs endured inflation surges after the global pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and have had a slow recovery from one of Europe's worst drops in real incomes. That has hurt the popularity of Prime Minister Petr Fiala's Spolu coalition and its liberal government allies, who focused on lowering the budget deficit. BABIS HAS PLEDGED TO END UKRAINE AMMUNITION PROJECT Both candidates made last-ditch appeals to voters on Friday, with Babis handing out doughnuts in the industrial city of Ostrava and telling his voters not to feel like anything was won yet. Babis, whose ANO party held double-digit leads in most opinion polls, is an ally of Hungary's Viktor Orban in the Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament, and has taken an ambivalent line on aid to Ukraine – a departure from Fiala's government, which has strongly supported Kyiv since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. While donating less than some others financially, the Czechs were among the first to provide tanks and fighting vehicles and they set up the so-called "Czech initiative" pulling together traders and defence officials to find millions of artillery rounds around the world for Kyiv with financing from Western countries. Babis has pledged to end the ammunition project, saying it is overpriced. He wants NATO and the EU to handle Ukraine. Voting stations are open until 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) on Friday and from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, with results expected that afternoon. BABIS PARTY SHORT OF ALLIES, UNLIKELY TO WIN MAJORITY Opinion polls pointed to Babis's ANO party winning more than 30% of the vote, about 10 points more than Fiala's Spolu coalition. "A success would be if we win and will have a majority in the lower house and a one-party cabinet," Babis said. That is unlikely, opinion polls have shown, which makes the performance of smaller parties important. ANO's sour relations with Spolu and its allies mean the party may need support from anti-EU and anti-NATO fringe parties – the far-right SPD and the far-left Stacilo! – for its preferred one-party cabinet. Babis has rejected steps towards exit from the EU or NATO, including calls for referendums, countering accusations by the current government that he would drag the country off its democratic pro-Western course. If some smaller fringe parties fall below the 5% threshold to get into parliament, that could favour government parties. Fiala said he hoped his government could continue and keep the country "a solid part of NATO and the European Union" and on a growth path. Babis's ANO has promised faster growth, offering higher wages and pensions, and lower taxes and tax discounts for students and young families to draw supporters. After voting in Brno, 20-year-old student Samuel Sebastien Strahotsky said he expected ANO to win and deliver increases in pensions and student discounts. President Petr Pavel, who appoints prime ministers, will meet party leaders on Sunday and said on Friday he expected difficult government negotiations. Babis must overcome other hurdles to become prime minister, including conflict-of-interest laws as owner of a chemicals and food empire and long-running fraud charges related to drawing an EU subsidy more than 15 years ago, a charge he denies.

* Gold up over 2% so far this week * UBS expects gold to rise to $4,200 over coming months * US Senate to vote on dueling plans to end shutdown (Updates for US mid-session trading) By Noel John and John Biju Oct 3 (Reuters) – Gold prices rose on Friday, hovering near record highs and heading for a seventh consecutive weekly gain, supported by growing concerns over the economic impact of a prolonged U.S. government shutdown and expectations of interest rate cuts. Spot gold rose 0.5% to $3,876.55 per ounce by 10:48 a.m. ET (1448 GMT), after hitting a record high of $3,896.49 on Thursday. Prices have gained more than 2% so far this week. U.S. gold futures for December delivery rose 0.9% to $3,902.60 per ounce. "I think the longer the government stays shut down, that's going to be a steady bullish element for the gold market. If they happen to have a surprise weekend agreement to open the government back up, that would probably be a bearish element," said Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals. The U.S. Senate will vote again on dueling Democratic and Republican plans to end a government shutdown now entering its third day, though there is no sign that either plan will win passage. The key U.S. non-farm payrolls report, originally slated for release on Friday, has been postponed, leaving investors to lean on alternative indicators that point to a cooling labor market and sustain expectations of an imminent rate cut. Investors are pricing in a 98% probability of a 25-basis-point rate reduction in October and a 90% likelihood of another similar cut in December, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Gold, often used as a safe store of value during times of uncertainty, thrives in a low-interest-rate environment and has risen over 47% so far this year. UBS in a note said it expects gold to rise to $4,200 per ounce over the coming months as the "opportunity cost of holding gold is falling thanks to declining real interest rates in the U.S., while expectations of further broad U.S. dollar weakness are another tailwind for gold." Elsewhere, spot silver climbed 1.8% to $47.81 per ounce, platinum rose 2% to $1,601.05 per ounce and palladium gained 2.1% to $1,266.87 per ounce.

By Fernando Kallas MADRID, Oct 3 (Reuters) – Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso remained composed on Friday as he addressed the media ahead of their clash with Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, their first LaLiga outing since a humbling 5-2 derby loss at Atletico Madrid last weekend. The build-up has been overshadowed by media reports of unrest involving Uruguay midfielder Federico Valverde, who was left on the bench in Tuesday's 5-0 Champions League win at Kairat Almaty. Valverde has denied claims that he refused to play as a right fullback, taking to social media to reaffirm his commitment to the club, saying that "I always let (the coach) know that I am available to perform anywhere." When pressed about whether players influence his team selection, Alonso remained diplomatically vague: "No one has ever told me that they don't want to play in a certain position. Everyone wants to play, but no one has said that to me." Valverde, who is one of Real Madrid's captains, is expected to be in contention for Saturday's match, with Alonso saying: "He is ready for tomorrow, like everyone else. We know how important it is and we want to end this block with a victory." The controversy marks the latest headache in Alonso's tenure since he arrived in late May to replace Carlo Ancelotti, who left to take the vacant Brazil job. Alonso has previously dealt with Vinicius Jr's and Rodrygo's dissatisfaction with their playing time in his rotation system. Asked about his authority being questioned, Alonso emphasised team unity. "We spend a lot of time together … And we have that closeness of preparing for matches, celebrating victories … that brings us closer together," he said. The 43-year-old manager also addressed the fallout from Real's humiliating defeat at Atletico, urging balance amid the highs and lows of football. "You shouldn't get too carried away with victories, nor get too downhearted with defeats," he remarked. "This happens at any club. We don't forget it, but we don't dwell on it." Villarreal's visit presents a test of Real's resolve as they look to bounce back from the derby disappointment. Alonso was measured when asked about supporters' expectations, stating: "I'm not asking for anything from the fans; we have to be the ones to give. Let's try to win by being proactive in the way we intend to." (Reporting by Fernando Kallas; Editing by Ken Ferris)
