JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman called for further reflection on whether there was a real threat of war with Afghanistan. Speaking in an interview on the Samaa TV programme “Mere Sawal With Absar Alam,” he noted that while political differences existed, his respect for former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif remained unchanged.

He said, “There is a history related to terrorism, and the state’s mistakes have played a significant role in it. Pakistan provided refuge to 30 to 40 million people due to the…
The ongoing measles outbreak, which has now spread to three states, serves as a stark reminder of the critical role that herd immunity plays in protecting our communities. Originating in Gaines County, Texas, the outbreak has resulted in 321 reported cases, 38 hospitalizations, and two deaths, including an unvaccinated school-aged child. The initial epicenter within a Texas Mennonite community highlights how declining vaccination rates can lead to rapid disease transmission. While some may believe that abstaining from vaccination keeps them healthier or more resistant to diseases, the reality is that their “immunity” has, until now, been borrowed from their vaccinated…

Elon Musk seems to be everywhere these days, just not in the place he’s most needed: at the helm of his flailing electric vehicle company. Tesla is one of the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 so far this year. Sales are falling around the globe. The US resale market is crumbling. Tesla’s militaristic Cybertruck is under a recall order because of an exterior panel that can fall off the vehicle while driving. The company was abruptly booted from this week’s Vancouver International Auto Show over unspecified safety concerns. And according to an analysis by the Financial Times, there’s about…
With London’s Heathrow Airport shut Friday, global air travel is expected to be disrupted for days, potentially costing the airline industry hundreds of millions of dollars. The chaos in air travel caused by a fire at an electrical substation supplying the airport could last days, according to aviation experts. Heathrow’s closure is expected to affect more than 1,300 flights in the coming days, and airline analytics firm Cirium estimated that “upwards of 145,000” passengers could be affected. Shukor Yusof, founder of Singapore-based Endau Analytics, an advisory firm that focuses on the aviation industry, told CNN the financial losses from the…

That has sent traders in search of stocks in Europe and Asia. Wall Street has seen the largest drop in allocation to US stocks on record since data collection began in 1999, according to a Bank of America survey. Meanwhile, the survey showed the largest increase in allocation to European stocks since 2021. That’s in part because investors think US exceptionalism may have peaked, analysts at Bank of America wrote. After…
The White House appears to employ a carrot-and-stick approach to make Americans favor Teslas. Officials suggest buying the car and its stock. And anyone caught vandalizing a charging station should expect to be labeled a “terrorist thug,” possibly bound for a Salvadorean prison, as President Donald Trump wrote Friday. The Trump administration’s unique affection for Tesla is one of the ways officials seem to be using their power to advance their business interests, a practice ethics experts find unprecedented and alarming. “This is just not done,” Hui Chen, an anti-corruption expert and former federal prosecutor, told CNN. “This endorsement of…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes humanoid robots are less than five years away from seeing wide use in manufacturing facilities.
