The tags are visible to and interact with by viewers in the US, India, Brazil, Canada, and Australia, according to a Google spokeswoman. “We’ll continue to offer tagging to more creators and locations,” the spokesperson added.
The streaming service is also experimenting with new commission plans for influencers who promote products via video links.

He relocated to England in 1930 to enrol at Emmanuel College in Cambridge (ECC). He released a booklet titled “Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever?” in 1933. , who originally used the term “PAKISTAN” to describe the country.
He began the Pakistan National Movement (PNM) in England in 1933. He then graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA and an MA.
He was summoned to the Middle Temple Inn Bar in London in 1943.
He kept putting out publications detailing his plans for South Asia up until 1947.

A day after a well-known businessman from Dubai appeared on the station and claimed he had purchased some of the state presents from Farah Gogi and Shahzad Akbar, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, criticised a local news channel and its anchor for a “baseless tale.”
The ousted premier insisted on Twitter that the TV station and anchorperson were “backed by handlers” in a post on the social media platform.He said that he had been “slandered… through a false tale put up by a notorious fraudster and internationally wanted criminal.”
Imran claimed that after consulting with his attorneys, he had decided to sue the network and the presenter “not only in Pakistan but also in the UK and the UAE.”His comments came after businessman Umar Farooq Zahoor said in an interview that he spent $2 million on pricey things given to the PTI leader by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
When the media asked questions about Andrew Morton, Princess Diana “was pretty irate.”
Dickie Arbiter, a royal commentator, recently remembered how Princess Diana once became upset when reporters inquired as to whether she had assisted Andrew Morton with his book.
The only query from the media pack after she returned from her 24-hour trip to Budapest was, “Has Diana assisted Andrew Morton with his book?
The royal expert continued, “I answered, ‘I don’t know anything about it, but I’ll ask her.
“I walked into the retiring room when she arrived at the Peto Institute after a day visit to the Budapest-based Peto Institute and said, “They’re inquiring about you and Andrew Morton and the book. She answered, “I know nothing about it.
The expert continued, “She was extremely offended because I had actually questioned her.
Dickie continued by saying that Diana contacted him a few weeks later as a result of her visit to “Charing Cross to get the first edition.”
Diana was “so worried about it,” he continued, and she kept asking him, “What do I do? “
“Ma’am, you’ve already completed it, I remarked, he said. “I advise you to close your doors and windows, hang up the phone, and stay inside.
Do not pick up the phone; you have an engagement on Tuesday; remain at Kensington Palace.
Stephen Fleming, a former captain of New Zealand, has called attention to the error that cost Pakistan the T20 World Cup 2022 championship on Sunday.
According to Fleming, Pakistan’s strategy in the final four overs of their batting innings is what caused them to lose the match.
Pak VS Eng
Pakistan made a “huge error” in the T20 World Cup final, according to Fleming.
“In 16 overs, [Pakistan] scored 121 [119] for 4. After the first innings, Fleming observed on ESPNcricinfo’s T20 Time Out show, “There’s enough in that wicket to suggest that a 165-score is going to be a genuine good test. “There was patchy bounce, there was some movement available, and it was turning.
We have some artillery here, and we know that we just need to put a point on the board in order to be competitive, so as a unit you should be expressing that. I think it was a grave error that the last four overs were scored for 16 [18] runs.
According to what we have seen, even at 10 [runs per over], you reach 161 and if you have one good over, you reach 165, which I believe is more than competitive. Especially in light of the unexpected turn and the opportunity for perhaps a quicker and more skilled pace attack. Yes, there had been a lot going on up to that moment, but Pakistan had made a huge mistake.
It should be mentioned that Ben Stokes and Sam Curran shone as England defeated Pakistan in the final and became the first team to win both the 50-over and 20-over white-ball championships.
In front of an enthusiastic 80,462 spectators at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground, Jos Buttler’s team restricted Pakistan to 137-8, with player-of-the-match Curran taking 3-12 and Adil Rashid contributing 2-22.
In response, England struggled to establish any momentum against a fierce pace attack and fell to 49-3 in the sixth over. Boundaries were also difficult to come by.
However, Stokes (52 not out) and Moeen Ali (19) led England to 138-5 with six balls remaining to cap off an exciting campaign that lasted 45 games and over a month.

Karan Johar offered Aryan Khan a mega-launch as a hero, but he declined it.
According to a knowledgeable source, “It began as a really serious proposition. When Aryan declined Karan’s offer to launch him, Karan reasoned that he would eventually change his mind because “he’s a kid, it’s a family problem.” But Aryan continued to reject his requests.
Later, Aryan’s family realised that Shah Rukh Khan’s son had no real desire in pursuing a profession in acting. “At this point, Karan Johar no longer makes jokes about it (a star launch). Aryan aspires to work in cinema. He is not interested in performing, despite his good appearance.
Even Zoya Akhtar promised to introduce him in her Archies comic book adaptation, in addition to Karan Johar. But he rejected it. The next-generation actor in Shah Rukh’s family is her sister Suhana.

Babar Awan, leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has reportedly asked the Supreme Court (SC) to remove his name from the criminal proceedings, as reported by ARY News out of ISLAMABAD.
In the reply that Babar Awan submitted in the petition seeking contempt proceedings against the former prime minister Imran Khan over the violation of the May 25 order, in which the PTI’s long march was restricted from entering D-Chowk in Islamabad, Babar Awan stated that Khan’s actions constituted a violation of the order.
In his response before the Supreme Court, the leader of the PTI said that he has been providing assistance to the courts for the last four decades. On the basis of verbal instructions from PTI Secretary General Asad Umar, Babar Awan said that he promised the court that the PTI would adhere to the directives of the court about the demonstration that will take place on May 25.
In his response, Babar Awan said, “I have not intentionally or unintentionally deceived the SC,” and he went on to say that he had aided the court with “good intention.”
The former SAPM placed the blame on the federal government for failing to engage in dialogue with the PTI in accordance with the directives issued by the Supreme Court.
Imran Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had already given his statement to the Supreme Court (SC) in a matter involving contempt.
In his answer, the former prime minister said that he was not aware of the statement that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had sent on his behalf, and he requested further time till November 3 in order to provide a comprehensive response.
Khan said in his response that he has respect for the judicial system but that he is unaware of any assurances that have been given by the leadership of the PTI on his behalf to the court.
It should be brought to your attention that the currently ruling government filed a petition with the Supreme Court against Imran Khan for disobeying the Court’s directive about his prior sit-in in Islamabad.
In the Lakki Marwat region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), an unknown group of gunmen opened fire on a police van on Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of at least six members of the police force.
Terrorists opened fire on a police vehicle driven by Chowki Abbasi in Lakki Marwat when it was out on a normal patrol, and the van came under attack.
Chowki Abbasi’s police vehicle, which had been out on a normal patrol when the terrorists opened fire, is where the incident took place, according to the spokesperson for the police department.
ASI Alam Deen and five constables named Parvez, Mahmood, Dil Jan, Ubaidullah Ahmed, and Nawaz were among those who were executed as martyrs.
Following the occurrence, more police officers were sent to the surrounding region.
Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, issued a vehement condemnation of the terrorist assault on the police vehicle. He also paid respect to the officers who had lost their lives in the incident and said that the police had performed a “proud role as the vanguard against terrorism”
“Joyland,” a film from Pakistan that tells the story of a young married man who falls in love with a transgender woman, won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival this year and is set to represent Pakistan at the Academy Awards the following year. “Joyland,” tells the story of a young married man who falls in love with a transgender woman.
However, the censorship certification for the film ‘Joyland’ was revoked by the Pakistani government only one week before the picture was scheduled to make its premiere in Pakistani theatres.
In support of the motion, Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party, which is now in the opposition, said that the movie ‘Joyland’ went against Islamic principles. He distributed a statement that was released on Friday by the country’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. According to the statement, the decision was made after the ministry received written complaints alleging that the film “contains highly objectionable material” and violated “decency and morality.” He shared this statement with his audience.
The decision to prohibit the film was quickly met with strong condemnation from both the film’s director and rights advocates in the country. As of Tuesday, the hashtag “ReleaseJoyland” has been used tens of thousands of times on social media.
An aide tweeted late Monday night that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had requested a “high level” inquiry of the ban in response to the widespread uproar that it had sparked. According to Salman Sufi, who is a member of the committee, “the committee will assess the complaints as well as the merits in order to decide on its release in Pakistan.”
The director of “Joyland,” Saim Sadiq, has previously referred to the restriction as a “grave injustice,” in addition to claiming that it was “absolutely unconstitutional and illegal.” In a statement that was released on Sunday, he accused the government of caving in to “pressure from a few extremist factions,” pointing out that the movie had previously been approved for release by the country’s several censorship boards.
“I urge the Pakistan Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to please review this decision and return the right of our citizens to be able to watch the film that has made their country’s cinema proud [all] over the world,” he said. “The film in question has made their country’s cinema proud [all] over the world.”
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan also voiced their disapproval of the ban, stating that the government’s explanation was “not only rabidly transphobic, but also violates the film producers’ right to freedom of expression.”
The transgender community in Pakistan is referred to as khwaja sira or the third gender. In 2018, the Pakistani Parliament passed a law that enshrined fundamental rights for this community, including the recognition of their self-identification and the prohibition of any form of discrimination against them.
In actuality, however, transgender persons in Pakistan have continued to face discrimination and even violence, and Human Rights Watch has accused the government of “failing to provide adequate protection or hold perpetrators accountable.” The country’s legal system treats partnerships between people of the same sexual orientation as a crime.
In the past, Pakistan has used its right to censor a variety of films, including some that were accused of presenting an unfavourable image of either the nation or Muslims, but in some instances, the judgement was subsequently reversed.

After three current University of Virginia football players were shot and killed at the institution a few hours south of the US capital, a former US college football player was detained and charged with murder on Monday.
Four persons were discovered dead in a different event close to the University of Idaho at the same time as the most recent outbreak of gun violence on campus.
US college shooting results in the deaths of three football players.
Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., a 22-year-old UVA student, was detained on suspicion of carrying out the shooting Sunday night and is now being charged with murder, according to police chief Timothy Longo.
Jones was reportedly taken into custody “without incident” on Monday morning in a Richmond suburb, roughly 120 kilometres (75 miles) southeast of the UVA campus in Charlottesville.
Jim Ryan, the president of UVA, claimed that the shooting occurred on a bus while students were returning from a field trip and that all three of those killed were football players for the school.
Ryan reported that two additional students had been hurt, one of whom was in critical condition.
Ryan declared, “This is a terrible, shocking, and devastating day for our UVA community.” For the victims and their families, “my heart is torn.”
For several hours, the campus in Charlottesville, roughly 100 miles (160 kilometres) southwest of Washington, was shut down while police looked for Jones, a former UVA football player listed as a first-year running back on the Cavaliers’ 2018 roster.
US college shooting results in the deaths of three football players.
Longo claimed that following a complaint that Jones was in possession of a gun but that there was no weapon found, Jones had previously come to the notice of the school’s “threat assessment” team.
Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler, and D’Sean Perry, all wide receivers with the Cavaliers, were among the three players who perished.
In addition to expressing sympathy to the families of the victims of the “senseless shooting,” the White House urged Congress to enact tighter gun control regulations.
The White House stated that “too many families throughout America are carrying the terrible weight of gun violence.” To remove military equipment from American streets, an assault weapons prohibition must be implemented.
Tim Kaine, a US senator from Virginia, was “heartbroken” when he heard that gun violence had destroyed yet another neighborhood in Virginia.
When a 23-year-old student opened fire on 32 students and faculty members at Virginia Tech in 2007, it became the site of the worst school massacre in American history before he committed suicide.

An 18-year-old gunman opened fire inside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 students and two teachers in an act that horrified the country and sparked new calls for gun control.
The highest-grossing movie on the subcontinent is “The Legend of Maula Jatt”
Within just four weeks of its international release, the Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi-starring movie broke the record for highest-grossing Punjabi movie ever, and it’s still breaking records at the international box office.
The lifetime revenues of other well-known Punjabi movies like Saunkan Saunkne, Chal Mera Putt 2, and Carry on Jatta 2 have been eclipsed by the success of TLOMJ, which was directed and produced by Ammara Hikmat. With almost Rs. 1.72 billion in worldwide box office receipts, it stands out.
Before reaching this milestone, the blockbuster movie previously set a number of milestones, including Most Watched South Asian Film in Norway, Second Highest Grossing South Asian Film in the UK for 2022, and Highest Grossing Pakistani Film.
One of the biggest albums ever to come out of Pakistan is TLOMJ. On October 13, it was made available on more than 500 screens across 25 different countries, including France.
The blockbuster keeps raising the bar for Pakistani filmmaking. Last week, it crossed the Rs. 1.5 billion threshold.
Wasim Akram becomes irate after a fan inquires about Shaheen Afridi
When England defeated Australia in the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) final on Sunday, Pakistan’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup for a second time were destroyed.
Jos Buttler and company claimed the prized title after England’s 138-run chase was guided by Ben Stokes. Shaheen hurt his knee while talking a catch to get rid of Harry Brook, which changed the course of the game. Iftikhar Ahmed was therefore unable to bowl his complete overs, and Stokes and Moeen Ali took advantage of him.
After the game, Wasim Akram discussed Pakistan’s defeat, and it was during this time that a fan inquired about Shaheen Afridi that the former Pakistan captain lost his cool. Despite not having read the question, Akram gave a suitable answer.
Akram reacted angrily, saying, “I wish you were in front of me. This guy, the question you have asked is just misbehaving. If you do not have any respect, you are misbehaving with your player. You are not ashamed; see what he has said about Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Shaheen Afridi’s injury after he landed awkwardly on his knee while taking a catch to eliminate Harry Brook was the turning point in the game. In England’s fifteenth over, this compelled him to end his spell.
Imran Khan was quoted by Dawn.com as saying, “I used to advise my team to fight to the last bowl. Try your best. But when the outcome comes, and you have given your best, it is God’s will. But what is not in your hands, the way Shaheen Afridi was injured, no one can do anything about that.”
I am not suggesting that we could have won, but it was at a point when the game could have been altered, and sadly it happened when the match was at a crucial stage, and Shaheen could have made a difference, he continued.
137 was vigorously defended by Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen, and Mohammad Wasim Jr. Particularly when he removed Phil Salt and Jos Buttler during the powerplay, Rauf gave England a scare.
Ben Stokes, however, made sure that the team finished.
JERUSALEM: Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated on Monday that Israel would not participate with any outside probe into the murder of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.According to media reports, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has opened an investigation into the shooting death of the American-Palestinian journalist who was killed in May while documenting an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin while wearing a press helmet and vest.

He continued, “Pakistan is no longer the default threat.”In his remarks, Bilawal congratulated Dow University of Health Sciences on the successful launch of liver transplant services in the area and sent it his best wishes.
ECP is reserving judgement in the case of the delayed LG elections in Karachi.
After hearing the complaints about the local government elections in Karachi, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) deferred its decision on Tuesday.
The case was heard by a five-member court presided over by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja.
The ECP issued a statement that read, “The election commission made every attempt to organise local government elections in Karachi, but there are also some ground realities.”
The election authority stated in its statement that the commission will soon make its reserved judgement, which may become effective.
Muhammad Ramzan Malik, Joint Secretary of the Interior Government, had earlier informed the CEC-led ECP panel that the ministry was unable to supply civil armed troops because of the current circumstances.
CEC Sikandar commanded, “Explain in a phrase what you wish to express.” An official from the interior ministry stated, “Forces are busy; they could not be provided for the election.”
The government of Sindh stated that it is now unable to organise elections. Elections must be held; you have deprived us of this authority, the CEC said. Ikramullah Khan of the ECP questioned “under which rule you have changed the local government law.”
According to CEC, provincial governments do not plan to hold local government elections. The elections in Punjab and Sindh must be held because they cannot be based on what you are saying, the CEC remarked.
The first round of local elections in Sindh has concluded, according to the administrator of Karachi, Murtaza Wahab, “while in Karachi we are ready to hold elections in two stages.”
Elections for local governments have twice been postponed because of flooding, according to Wahab. He stated that there was still floodwater in a 25 to 30 percent area. The CEC remarked, “Yesterday you declared that you are ready to organise elections.” The administrator said, “Sindh government is prepared to host local government elections, but security is required.” “We don’t want claims that the government manipulated the results of surveys. The local council elections would be postponed for 90 days by the Sindh government, he said.
The government’s decision to postpone local government elections was supported by IG Sindh Police as well. We are short 17,000 employees, so any unfortunate thing might occur, he added. The poll can be held per the election commission’s directive, but there would be security concerns, according to IG Sindh. According to LG Polls, there were 30 injuries and 17 fatalities due to violent crime in 2015.

He continued by claiming that the economy began to deteriorate after the country’s current authorities were “forced” on it through “conspiracy”.

He acknowledged that the new army chief will be chosen by Shehbaz Sharif in accordance with the constitution, but added that Sharif lacked the “moral authority” to make such a crucial decision “on the whims of his brother” Nawaz.
He continued, “Nawaz does not want elections because he knows he would lose.
