TOKYO: Japan’s two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu said he felt “no sadness” after retiring from competition aged 27 on Tuesday, bringing the curtain down on one of the sport’s most glittering careers. The soft-spoken “Ice Prince” became the first man to win back-to-back Olympic titles in 66 years and is a national icon who is followed around the world by adoring fans. But he said the time was right to bow out after finishing fourth at this year’s Beijing Games – where he struggled with injury – saying he was “not needed any more” in competitive skating. “As far as competitions and results go, I think I have been able to take all the things I wanted to take,” Hanyu, dressed in a dark suit and bowing deeply as he took to the stage, told a packed press conference in Tokyo. “I think I have grown in such a way that I don’t seek that kind of evaluation anymore,” he added. Hanyu said he intends to keep his legion of “Fanyu” supporters happy by skating in exhibition shows, and made clear his discomfort with the idea of being considered retired. He will no longer compete on the stage that made him one of figure skating’s all-time greats, however, adding that he would “never miss the tension of competition”. “I’ll no longer be compared with other skaters as a competitor,” he said. “I have no sadness. I want to continue to do my best.” With his graceful skating style and delicate, boyish looks, Hanyu is an icon for his fans, who shower the ice with Winnie the Pooh toys after his routines. He won his first Olympic singles title at the 2014 Sochi Games and overcame injury to retain his crown four years later in Pyeongchang. He also won the world championships in 2014 and 2017 but he has been dogged by injury in recent years, including an ankle ligament problem that he had to overcome to win his second Olympic gold. He was dethroned as Olympic champion in February in Beijing by rival Nathan Chen of the United States, tumbling during his routine and missing the podium. Hanyu said he had considered retiring after the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018 but finally made up his mind after returning from Beijing. “I thought about a lot of things at that time, and I thought I wasn’t needed anymore on this stage,” he said. Hanyu will concentrate on skating in ice shows, where he will attempt to land the fabled quadruple axel jump that eluded him throughout his competitive career. He said he would “work harder” so he could one day “land it successfully in front of everyone”. Although his plans for the future are still “vague”, he said he wanted to “figure out ways to show people my skating in a way that’s more befitting of today’s age”. “Ice shows tend to be considered something elegant and fun, but I want to remain more of an athlete,” he said. “I want people to see me as I continue to fight.” Hanyu is a national hero in Japan, where he became the youngest recipient of his country’s prestigious People’s Honour Award in 2018, and his every move is headline news. But he still remains something of an enigma despite the huge attention, rarely granting interviews and having no social media presence. He said he wanted to “continue learning”, adding that “being Yuzuru Hanyu is a heavy burden”. AFP
MELBOURNE: New coach Erik ten Hag warned that there was still a lot more work to do after Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 3-1 on Tuesday with Anthony Martial scoring his third goal in three pre-season games. In front of 76,500 fans at Melbourne Cricket Ground, French forward Martial struck in the first half while Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho both collected their second goals of the pre-season tour after the restart. Joel Ward pulled one back for Palace, but they were always chasing a game that saw United reduced to 10 men in the dying minutes after Will Fish was sent off for a deliberate foul. Another sour note was the reaction of some fans to Harry Maguire, with suggestions that the United skipper was the target of boos. But it was a mostly positive evening, the friendly victory Ten Hag’s third since taking over after their 4-0 thumping of Liverpool in Bangkok and a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory. In contrast, it was a second straight defeat for Patrick Vieira’s young Palace side, who crashed 2-0 to Liverpool in Singapore on Friday. “We are happy with the improvement we are seeing, but there is also a lot of work to do,” said Ten Hag. “We did score some wonderful goals, that’s true. “We played well and I think the belief is increasing,” he added while praising his forwards in particular. “They did a lot of running, a lot of work. They have a lot of energy and were rewarded by scoring goals.” The Dutchman is beginning to stamp his mark on the Old Trafford side, with his team – who finished a disappointing sixth last season in the Premier League – producing some fluid, one-touch football. Goalkeeper David de Gea returned after missing the Victory game with a niggle. New left-back Tyrell Malacia began ahead of Luke Shaw, while Rashford was back in the starting line-up after scoring as a substitute against Victory, partnering a rejuvenated Martial and Sancho in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence. Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez, Ten Hag’s other new signings, are not in Australia. Vieira has a youthful squad in Australia, with a number of senior players not making the trip. United made a confident start, dominating early possession, with Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland making a fine stop from Martial after Brazilian Fred’s pass split the defence. But the save ended Butland’s game, forcing him to leave the pitch after treatment on his hand. AFP
Saint-Gaudens: Defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar lost a third UAE Emirates teammate when his lieutenant Rafal Majka pulled out injured ahead of Wednesday’s mountain stage 17 climb to Peyragudes. Slovenian Pogacar needs to overturn a two minute and 22-second deficit to overall leader Jonas Vingegaard of Jumbo as their cat-and mouse struggle for the yellow jersey enters its end game. The 2020 and 2021 champion Pogacar has already lost climber George Bennett and flat plains specialist Vegard Stake Laengen, while Vingegaard has also lost two teammates. “Unfortunately Rafal Majka will not start stage 17… after sustaining a strain injury to his thigh after mechanical trouble on stage 16 when his chain broke,” UAE Team Emirates doctor Adrian Rotunno said. Pogacar was leading the race by 39sec from Vingegaard before losing Bennett and Laengen to positive Covid tests last week and then struggling in the Alps on the Col du Granon on stage 11 in intense heat. But on stage 15 Denmark’s Vingegaard lost two teammates to injury, levelling the playing field as Primoz Roglic pulled out and Steven Kruijswijk fell heavily and was taken away by ambulance. “If I hadn’t lost my teammates I wouldn’t be behind now,” Pogacar said at the time, and looked confident and strong on stage 16. Just ahead of the Tour, Matteo Trentin, a key member of Pogacar’s team, also withdrew from the race with Covid. AFP
GALLE: Abdullah Shafique hit an epic 160 to anchor Pakistan’s record chase of 342 at Galle as the tourists won a thrilling opening Test against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. The opener capped his marathon display with the winning runs in the final session on day five, jumping for joy and pumping his fist as Pakistan triumphed by four wickets for a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took a match haul of nine wickets but his efforts were in vain as the visitors battled past the previous best chase in Galle of 268 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in 2019. The 22-year-old Shafique excelled with his second Test ton. He built crucial partnerships including a 101-run third-wicket stand with skipper Babar Azam, who made 55 after his 119 in the first innings on a tricky pitch to bat on. “We know how to play spin so we believed,” Azam said after the tense win. “When I was batting with Abdullah Shafique we were just trying to build a partnership. He has shown his class.” Shafique, who was named man of the match, said: “It was difficult but with time it was easier. Babar is one of the best in the world. We have learnt so much from him. I enjoyed batting with him in the middle.” The unbeaten Shafique finally combined with Mohammad Nawaz, 19 not out, to take the visitors home after a brief rain interruption halted their charge. The teams had taken early tea before returning for the third session of play. Shafique survived three dropped catches, on 70, 135, and 151, but deserved his luck and played the anchor´s role to perfection as he surpassed his previous Test best of 136 not out. Pakistan had a few anxious moments after Jayasuriya, who sent back talisman Azam before the close on day four, struck at the stroke of lunch to get debutant, Salman Ali Agha, out for 12. Hasan Ali fell for five in the second over of the second session after being promoted up the order to hit out the remaining runs. Lone man Jayasuriya Jayasuriya, who took 12 wickets on debut in a series-leveling Test win over Australia last week at the same venue, six in each innings, kept up the pressure but Shafique stood firm. Pakistan resumed the day on 222-3 and Sri Lanka soon used up their remaining two umpire reviews, with Jayasuriya involved in both calls. Mohammad Rizwan opened his day´s account with a boundary off Ramesh Mendis and kept up his positive intent by taking singles and twos before he fell lbw to Jayasuriya for 40. “With the ball, we could not support Prabath from the other end. We had to give him more support,” skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said of his lead spinner, who toiled for 95.2 overs in the two innings combined. A review did not save Rizwan, a wicketkeeper-batsman who has come into the two-match series after a successful stint with English county Sussex. Dinesh Chandimal kept up his blazing form in an unbeaten 94 — his second successive half-century — when he ran out of partners in Sri Lanka’s second-innings total of 337. In a match of tail-end fightbacks, Azam hit a defiant century in Pakistan’s first innings and batted patiently with the lower order after the visitors slipped to 85-7 on day two. The second Test starts Sunday, also in Galle, after it was moved from Colombo due to the political unrest in Sri Lanka. AFP
LONDON: After a court approved a lawsuit alleging that the Alphabet-owned tech giant overcharged 19.5 million customers for app store purchases, A 920 million pound ($1.1 billion) damages action against Google will now go to trial in London.
The Competition Appeal Tribunal on Monday certified a class action lawsuit that claims Google misused its dominant position by imposing up to a 30% commission on well-known apps ,Roblox, Candy Crush Saga, and Tinder have all been available on the Play Store since October 2015.
A representative for the claimant group said on Tuesday that a full ruling has not yet been made public.Requests for comments were not immediately answered by Google.
Regulators, competitors, and consumer advocates are suing companies like Google and rival Apple for alleged anti-competitive behaviour in an effort to rein in Big Tech.
COLOMBO: In the hopes that he would lead the nation out of a dire economic and political crisis, Sri Lankan parliamentarians elected acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe as their new leader on Wednesday.
After the votes were counted, the secretary general of parliament declared that Ranil Wickremesinghe had been chosen as the eighth executive president in accordance with the constitution.
Many common Sri Lankans opposed to Wickremesinghe, and their victory may spur additional protests from disgruntled citizens following months of severe gasoline, food, and medical shortages, according to several demonstrators.
The opposition and demonstrators found the other leading candidate, legislator for the ruling party Dullas Alahapperuma, to be more agreeable, but he lacked expertise in high-level governance in a nation that had no money for imports and was in critical need of an IMF bailout.
In the 225-member parliament, Wickremesinghe received 134 votes, while Alahapperuma received 82. Only three votes were cast for the third contender, Anura Kumara Dissanayaka.
According to a recent study, the Arctic is melting four times more quickly as the planet is warming.The study was unable to identify other explanations but hypothesised that the causes may be related to “sea ice and water-vapour feedbacks” in addition to modifications in how the heat from the atmosphere and ocean moves into the Arctic.
Sadly, all but four of the 39 climate models completely ignored the fact that the rate of Arctic temperature decline has accelerated over the past 50 years.
According to Petr Chylek, a physicist and climate researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the study’s principal author, “thirty years is thought to be the least to depict climate change.”The time gap was shortened to 21 years.
We saw two clear leaps at that shorter time scale—the first in 1986 and the second in 1999—contrary to earlier studies that found the Arctic amplification index increases gradually.
Sea levels increase as a result of the Greenland ice sheet melting in the Arctic, which has a direct influence on coastal towns and can create natural disasters throughout the world.
KARACHI: The rupee’s downward trend continued on Wednesday as ongoing political unrest caused the currency to plunge to a fresh record low of Rs224.92 against the US dollar in the interbank market.
According to data issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the rupee plummeted by a staggering Rs2.99, or 1.30 percent, in a single day to touch an all-time low of Rs224.92, exceeding the previous historic low of 221.99 set a day earlier.
Analysts explain the recent devaluation by pointing to the political unpredictability caused by the results of the Punjab by-elections.Dr. Khaqan Hassan Najeeb, a former adviser to the Federal Ministry of Finance, asserted that Pakistan has a market-based currency rate mechanism.
Najeeb stated that the recent adjustment of the Pakistani rupee is partially driven by uncertainties related to election results together with a Fitch rating. “In this regime trade imbalance and market influencing news make a lot of impact on currency fluctuations,” Najeeb added.
KARACHI: Despite the rupee’s collapse, which on Wednesday reached an all-time low of Rs224.92 versus the US dollar, the price of gold in Pakistan fell by Rs1,200 per tola.
The price of gold in the local bullion market reduced by Rs 1,200 per tola to Rs 144,000 and by Rs 1,028 for 10 kilos to Rs 123,457, according to the All Sindh Sarafa Jewellers Association (ASSJA). The valuable commodity had a previous day’s closing price of Rs145,200 per tola and Rs124,485 per 10 kilos.
Analysts were taken aback by a decrease in the price of gold because historical evidence suggests that during periods of inflation, people tended to hold aggressive positions in gold.According to a gold trader, purchasing gold is a secure investment against rupee depreciation or devaluation.
Some investors are more inclined towards the conventional shining asset, but people may invest directly in the dollar to obtain a same advantage, he said.
According to researchers, the most sensitive data in the world may soon be at risk from a security breach.Even the most secure devices can communicate data thanks to the hack, which transforms a SATA cable into a radio transmitter. The hack is known as “SATAn.”
Even the most secure systems, including air-gapped networks that are cut off from any access to the outside world, according to Dr. Mordechai Guri of Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, were not safe.
SATAn uses SATA connection which which is used in numerous devices worldwide.Dr. Guri was able to transform the connection into a radio transmitter without making any physical changes, which allowed him to send all the data to a laptop.
Dr. Guri made it clear that the attack could only take place if malicious software had already been installed on the target device.
Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, asserted on Wednesday that MPAs were being offered Rs500 million to swap allegiances as horse-trading was taking place in Lahore as the contest for the position of Punjab’s chief minister heated up.
According to the PTI chairman’s tweet, “Today, Lahore is witnessing a rerun of the Sindh House horse-trading scenario that occurred in Islamabad, with up to Rs500 million being offered to buy MPAs.”
He said that the “primary architect” behind it was PPP Co-Chair Asif Ali Zardari, saying the former president had obtained a “NRO for his corruption and purchases people with plundered riches.”
The PPP leader was to be imprisoned, according to the former prime minister. “Our democracy is under threat, but so too is the moral core of our society.
The PTI chairman asserted that if the Supreme Court had intervened and permanently prohibited these traitors, it would have served as a deterrent.
Additionally, he questioned whether the “handlers” of the current administration were aware of the “serious harm being done to the country.”
The fourth-worst passport, one position below Yemen and three positions above Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, was once more the Pakistani passport.On the index, Pakistan’s travel document is placed 109th and only permits free travel to 32 countries.
As the world recovers from COVID-19, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea have the strongest passports, reversing the pre-pandemic rankings that were dominated by European nations.
The highest passport, the Japanese one, allows for free travel to 193 nations, one more than Singapore’s and South Korea’s.Russian passports are ranked 50th and make travel to 119 countries simple.
India came in at number 87, China came in at number 69, and Afghanistan’s passport is the least valuable, only giving access to 27 countries.
NEW DELHI: A famous journalist who was detained last month over what police described as a “very offensive” 2018 tweet intended to sour relations between the majority Hindus and the minority Muslims was granted bail on Wednesday by India’s Supreme Court.
After an anonymous Twitter user complained about the four-year-old tweet, Mohammed Zubair, a co-founder of the fact-checking website Alt News and a prominent critic of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was detained.
The justices noted that “authority of arrests must be pursued carefully” when releasing Zubair on bail. The court further declared that there was no rationale for keeping Zubair in detention, even though investigations may go on.
Zubair’s attorney had previously claimed that the lawsuit was bordering on ludicrous because the Muslim had parodied a Hindi-language film in his 2018 tweet and there was no proof that he had offended Hindus’ religious emotions.
Zubair and his associates charged that the federal administration was silencing journalists and other dissidents by deploying the police. According to Zubair’s attorney, the government is using the 2018 case against him as retaliation for this year’s widely shared post.
DERA GHAZI KHAN : Two guys were detained on suspicion of gang-raping a foreign visitor to Fort Munro in Dera Ghazi Khan.
The international visitor, a TikToker, is accused of being gang-raped at a hotel while she was visiting the tourist attraction. After the event, the police filed a case under sections 376 and 292B against the suspects.
The deputy commissioner for DG Khan reports that both suspects were taken into custody eight hours after the event. He stated that the accused will be transported to Lahore for DNA testing while the victim would receive a medical examination.
The NASA Perseverance rover is now on the surface of Mars looking for the best landing strip for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) spacecraft. The European Space Agency has constructed a robotic arm to take tubes of soil samples from the rover.
The Sample Transfer Arm is the moniker given to the 8.2 foot long arm (STA). Its algorithmic skin has been built so that it can “see” and “feel” items. When it is delivered in 2025, the NASA Sample Retrieval Lander will then be able to attach it.
The structure is modelled after a human arm. STA has a wrist, a shoulder, and an elbow. The robot will be able to dodge Martian boulders and gather sample containers thanks to its dual camera system.
NASA and ESA are working together on the Mars Sample Return mission, which aims to study the Martian soil. By 2030, all of the samples should arrive on Earth.
GALLE: Abdullah Shafique scored an incredible 160 in Galle to lead Pakistan in their record-breaking 342 run, helping the visitors defeat Sri Lanka in the opening Test match on Wednesday.
The opener completed his exhausting performance by scoring the decisive runs in the closing session of day five, screaming for excitement and pumping his fist as Pakistan won by four wickets to take a 1-0 series lead.
The visitors beat the previous best chase in Galle of 268 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in 2019. Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya had a match total of nine wickets, but his efforts were in vain as the visitors struggled past that mark.
Shafique, 22, impressed with his second Test century. He formed significant partnerships, such as a 101-run third-wicket stand with captain Babar Azam, who scored 55 after scoring 119 in the first innings on a challenging pitch.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has predicted another period of heavy rains in several districts of Sindh, including Karachi, after monsoon rains wreaked havoc in multiple parts of Pakistan over the past two weeks, killing many in Sindh and Balochistan.
The third monsoon system will hit portions of the nation today, according to chief meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz. Heavy rains are anticipated in Karachi from July 24 to July 26 due to the powerful system that may impact Sindh from July 23 to July 26. 80 percent of the country would experience significant rains as a result of the new system, according to Sarfaraz.
The spell will impact southern Punjab and Balochistan tomorrow morning, he said, while the upper part of the country may be affected tonight.
According to the chief meteorologist, the Arabian Sea will provide moisture to boost the monsoon system, which is already being strengthened by moist winds from the Bay of Bengal. Heavy rainfall in the early monsoon season is expected through August 15, according to the Met department.
The fourth route for Peoples Bus Service, which will travel between Gulshan Hadeed and Malir Cantt, has been inaugurated, according to Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon. People would be able to travel from Gulshan Hadeed to Quaidabad, Malir Halt, and Malir Cantt using the service.
The recently launched Peoples Bus Service in Sindh has two routes that are already running in Karachi. Within the next two days, six more routes—including one in Larkana—will be operational, and work is now being done on the infrastructure of four more to prepare for the launch of the bus service.
This was revealed during a meeting on Tuesday that Murad Ali Shah, the chief minister of Sindh, presided over at CM House.Shah instructed the transport minister to launch the 30-kilometer Route No. 9 from Gulshan-e-Hadeed to Malir Cantt on Wednesday after reviewing the operation and problems of the bus service’s various routes (today).
The service must begin in the public interest because buses are available and the route is clear.
Tuesday saw Google make the announcement that Pakistan will now be the home of its Android Earthquake Alerts System. The search engine behemoth claimed in a statement that the Android Earthquake Warns System is a “free, useful Android feature that detects earthquakes across the world and alerts people.” So how does it function?
Google claims that it makes advantage of the sensors in Android mobile devices. It added that consumers are alerted in two ways: via search and directly on the Android mobile device itself. “The system uses accelerometers in active Android cellphones to identify seismic events,” it stated.
The announcement reads, “The system sends almost instantaneous information to Google Search.” People will receive relevant results when they search for “earthquake” or “earthquake near me,” as well as useful resources about what to do after an earthquake. Users can disable this in the device settings if they do not want to get these alerts.
Tuesday saw the Pakistani rupee smash all prior lows against the dollar, reaching a new low of 224 in the afternoon interbank session before ending at 221.99.
The local currency declined by Rs6.79 in the interbank market, or 3.06 percent, against yesterday’s close of Rs215.20, according to the State Bank of Pakistan. After the rupee declined by Rs6.80 on June 26, 2019, it experienced its greatest day-to-day depreciation on that day.
The crushing defeat of the ruling PML-N in the Punjab by-elections has led to political unrest and increased import demand, which has caused the Pakistani rupee to depreciate.Analysts contend that there are additional forces at work in addition to the domestic political and economic environment.
KARACHI: As the power crisis continues to affect the entire nation, the Sindh Government on Tuesday extended the restrictions placed on market timings in the province.
In response to the frequent power outages and load shedding, the measure, which will be in place from July 17 through August 16, aims to close the gap between the supply and demand of electricity.
All marketplaces, bazaars, shops (wholesale or retail), super or departmental stores, and shopping malls are required to close by 9:00 p.m., according to a notification from the Sindh Home Department.
The law also stipulated that wedding venues and banquets must close by 10:30 p.m., while hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, clubs, gyms, movie theatres, plays, circuses, and other amusement centres must close by 11:30 p.m.
With natural disasters like wildfires and heatwaves, the UN secretary-general has warned that humanity is on the verge of “collective suicide.” Speaking to ministers from 40 nations, António Guterres stated that the effects of climate change posed a threat to half of humanity. No country is immune to effects like floods, storms, and droughts, he claimed, yet people “continue to feed their addiction to fossil fuels.”
He continued, “We have a choice. The world must decide between collective action or collective suicide.
Wildfires have been caused by heat records that have broken in North America and Europe. Scientists have been surprised by heatwaves in South Asia and droughts in Africa.
The UK, France, and other nations have all issued heat advisories.
The climate crisis will be discussed at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, which is organised annually by the German government.
The likelihood that the Cop27 UN climate summit will take place this year has decreased. Governments are preoccupied with the cost of living after COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine due to rising fuel prices.
Countries made a commitment to keep global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels at Cop26 last year in Glasgow. They are required to develop improved greenhouse gas emission plans known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs) this year.
There aren’t “many new NDCs,” according to the vice president of the European Commission, who represents the EU bloc at the UN climate talks.
Sameh Shoukry, Egypt’s foreign minister, serves as the organization’s president.
Additionally, the World Bank and other “multilateral development banks” were accused by Guterres. He claimed that in terms of providing money to address the climate crisis, they weren’t adequate.
climate change
A recent study asserts that sleep deprivation may result from climate change.
In a study titled “Rising temperatures erode human sleep globally,” data from sleep monitors worn by 47,628 anonymous people in 68 countries over a two-year period, from September 2015 to October 2017, were examined.
According to the study, by 2099, rising temperatures will probably rob each person of 50 to 58 hours of sleep annually.
The risks associated with temperature effects on sleep loss are significantly higher for lower-income nations like Pakistan and India. The elderly and women are most likely to be impacted, according to the study.
Future hot nights will cause people to sleep in later and wake up earlier, which will have “several detrimental physical and mental outcomes.”
Our body temperature must decrease in order to fall asleep, which will be more difficult as the world gets warmer.
Our ability to “maintain a stable core body temperature” is essential for maintaining our lives, according to the study’s author Kelton Minor.
The majority of us are unaware of what our bodies do each night, but they dissipate heat from our core into the environment by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to our hands and feet.
Shireen Mazari, a former federal minister for human rights, asserts that a voice recorder was discovered in her bedroom under a coffee table, stressing how this is against both the law and the Constitution.
A domestic staff member accidentally knocked into the coffee table, which led to the discovery of the “listening device,” according to Mazari, who was speaking at a news conference that was aired by the PTI on Twitter.. He was joined by former minister of information technology Shibli Faraz.
The politician said that when the employee contacted to tell her about it, she was in Bani Gala. We initially speculated that it might be a USB, However, we afterwards asked ourselves why someone would put a USB drive under a table. Mazari displayed the mysterious object and said.
She asserted that following careful research, it was found that the object in question is an American-manufactured voice recorder, and that its contents will be made public to the media. She asserted that Imran Khan, the PTI chairman, had lately had a similar device confiscated from him.
ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office spokeswoman on Tuesday referred to Shahbaz Gill, the chief of staff for PTI Chairman Imran Khan, as making “baseless” accusations that the then-foreign minister and prime minister were unaware of the cypher that contained the claimed threat to Pakistan.
“Such a question just doesn’t come up. The Foreign Office runs on a professional basis, thus it would be harmful to question how it functions, according to the spokeswoman. “Cypher was kept a secret from the foreign minister and prime minister at the time. I was told by Shah Mahmood Qureshi,” Gill told the media.
He continued by saying that Qureshi received the cypher after asking the foreign secretary about it, and the former foreign minister then delivered it to the prime minister.At a Jalsa on March 27, the then-prime minister Khan accused the US of meddling in Pakistani politics and planning to overthrow his government by introducing a no-trust resolution in the National Assembly.
At the public event, the prime minister also presented a “threat letter” that claimed that a “foreign country,” presumably the United States, had “warned of severe consequences if he remains in power.”
RABAT: According to military sources, Israel’s army chief came in Morocco on Monday for meetings with senior defence officials as cooperation between the nations grows following a normalisation of relations.

رحیم یار خان کے قریب دریائے سندھ میں کشتی اُلٹنے کے حادثے کے نتیجے میں 19 قیمتی جانوں کے ضیاع پر دکھی اور رنجیدہ ہوں. اللہ تعالی سے دعا ہے کہ وہ مرحومین کو اپنے جوارِ رحمت میں جگہ دے اور متاثرہ خاندانوں کو صبرِ جمیل عطا فرمائے.
There have been rumours that employees at the popular short video site TikTok will be let off. Others are about to lose their jobs, while some people have already lost their jobs.
