The immediate restoration of the social media platform ‘X’ in Pakistan remains improbable, as negotiations between the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and the platform’s overseas management have failed to yield a resolution. According to inside sources, the PTA has resolved not to independently reinstate the service without explicit directives from the government or the courts.

The regulatory body maintains that the platform’s operational policies clash with Pakistani legal frameworks, preventing a potential agreement. The PTA further…

South Korea’s Constitutional Court on Monday reinstated Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president, overturning his impeachment nearly three months after he was suspended from office.

The court’s ruling immediately restores his authority as the country’s interim leader. “I am grateful for the wise decision made by the Constitutional Court,” Han said in a televised address, thanking cabinet members for their work in his absence. “We will work together to prepare and implement…

Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, continues…
Columbia University students returned to campus Monday to find significant policy changes implemented during their spring break, a move seemingly aimed at satisfying the Trump administration’s demands to release $400 million in federal funding. The university announced sweeping reforms, including stricter protest regulations, a mask ban, potential sanctions for violating student groups, and an immediate review of Middle East studies programs and admissions, all in response to the administration’s concerns about antisemitism on campus. These changes follow President Trump’s threats to cut federal funds to universities accused of tolerating antisemitism amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict. Columbia’s status as a leading institution…
Beneath a predawn sky, adorned with shimmering stars and clouds lazily floating past the moon, Sudiksha Konanki stepped into the warm, inviting waters of the Caribbean Sea. Far from the pounding thrum of party music and the clamor of tipsy conversations, Konanki and Joshua Steven Riibe waded waist-deep into the water and shared a kiss, based on an account of the events Riibe relayed to investigators. That kiss may have been one of her last moments alive, as Dominican Republic authorities believe the 20-year-old University of Pittsburgh college student drowned in the early hours of March 6, her parents have…
