In the case of Pakistan International Airlines’s (PIA) ban on its flights to European countries for four years, it has been revealed that the national airlines continues to fail to demonstrate effective compliance with the stringent safety standards mandated by the European Union (EU).

The spokesperson of the European Commission has released detailed reasons for maintaining the ban. It cites PIA’s ongoing inability to demonstrate effective compliance with all safety protocols. This includes essential measures concerning operational safety, maintenance practices, and regulatory oversight.

“All Pakistani airlines, including PIA, are required to implement corrective measures to address deficiencies in their safety management systems,” stated the spokesperson.

He further said the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Pakistan must also utilise the necessary capabilities for effective monitoring. Moreover, no Pakistani airline, including PIA, currently features on the EU’s air safety list, indicating significant concerns over regulatory compliance.

The restrictions imposed on PIA are a direct consequence of the suspension of its Third Country Operator’s (TCO) license by the International Air Safety Assessment (IASA). As a result, PIA is unable to operate flights between Pakistan and European countries until it rectifies the identified shortcomings and regains compliance with EU aviation safety requirements.

The suspension of PIA’s European Third Country Operator permit by IASA underscores the critical need for comprehensive reforms within the airline’s safety management framework. This situation not only affects PIA’s operational capacity but also raises broader concerns about Pakistan’s aviation safety oversight.

Iranians will vote for a new president on Friday following Ebrahim Raisi’s death in a helicopter crash, choosing from a group of four candidates, at a time of growing public frustration.

While the election is unlikely to bring a major shift in the Islamic Republic’s policies, the outcome could influence the succession to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s 85-year-old supreme leader, in power for three-and-a-half decades.

Khamenei has called for a “maximum” turnout to offset a legitimacy crisis fuelled by public discontent over economic hardship and curbs on political and social freedoms.

Voter turnout has plunged over the past four years, with a mostly young population chafing at political and social restrictions.

Polls open at 8am local time (0430 GMT) and close at 6pm (1430 pm GMT), but are usually extended until as late as midnight. As ballots are counted manually, the final result is expected to be announced only in two days although initial figures may come out sooner.

Strife within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continues to escalate as Sher Afzal Marwat demanded resignation from Shibli Faraz, saying that the party will only then be freed from the “qabza mafia”.

His demand came after Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Omar Ayub stepped down as the PTI Secretary General on Thursday, saying there would be more changes in the party’s organisational structure.

“I demand resignation of Shibli Faraz from party positions and as leader of the Opposition in Senate,” said Marwat, who has been at loggerheads with Faraz and other party leaders.

In May, outspoken Marwat also refused to work with Senator Faraz and Omar, saying they didn’t allow him to meet incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan.

India beat defending champions England by 68 runs in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup on Thursday to book their place in Saturday’s final against South Africa.

Put into bat in the rain-hit match at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, 2007 champions India posted 171 for seven with skipper Rohit Sharma (57) and Suryakumar Yadav (47) scoring bulk of the runs on a slow track.

England were all out for 103 in the 17th over, never really recovering from a top-order collapse and surrendering to India’s spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, who claimed three wickets apiece.

South Africa hammered Afghanistan on Wednesday to reach the final in Bridgetown, Barbados.

: A district and sessions court in Islamabad Thursday rejected the pleas seeking suspension of the sentence handed down to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the iddat case.

The verdict drew strong condemnation from the PTI, which called it “absolutely ridiculous”, and its leaders — who were hoping for Imran’s release today — staged a protest outside the Adiala jail, where the court had been set up to ensure the security of the ex-prime minister.

Additional Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka announced the verdict today, reserved on Tuesday, with the hearing on the central plea related to the annulment of their conviction set to take place on July 2.

The PTI founder and Bushra were each sentenced to seven years in prison in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent as Khawar Maneka, Bushra’s ex-husband, moved the court against the couple’s marriage.

27/06/2024

Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Thursday claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is unlikely to come out of imprisonment soon.

“They won’t allow PTI founder to be released at this moment,” Rashid said while speaking to the media at a district and sessions court in Islamabad.

The former federal minister’s remarks come as Khan, who has been serving various sentences and has been behind bars since August last year, might have a chance to be free if a district and sessions court rules in his favour in response to his plea seeking suspension of his sentence in iddat case today.

The former premier — who has previously secured relief in £190 million reference, cipher and Toshakhana cases — was handed down a seven-year sentence along with his wife Bushra Bibi in the said case after a trial court deemed their nikah fraudulent in February this year.

However, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has said that it will try to keep the PTI founder behind bars.

“Imran Khan’s main agenda is to destabilise the country and spread chaos and anarchy in the country that’s why the government will certainly try to keep him behind bars as long as possible,” the PM’s adviser said while speaking on Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’ on Tuesday.

All eyes are on an Islamabad local court, which is due to announce a verdict on the pleas filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi seeking suspension of their sentences in the iddat case today (Thursday), which may end the former prime minister’s imprisonment.

Khan, the deposed prime minister who was ousted from power via the opposition’s no-confidence motion in April 2022, has been facing a slew of charges ranging from corruption to terrorism since his removal as the premier.

He has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in the Toshakhana case and subsequently sentenced in other cases ahead of the February 8 elections.

Despite securing relief in other cases including £190 million reference and Toshakhana, and acquittal in the cipher case earlier this month, the former premier remains behind bars due to his conviction in the iddat case.

The district court had sentenced the PTI founder and Bushra each, to seven years in prison in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent after Khawar Maneka, Bushra’s ex-husband, moved the court against the couple’s marriage.

Karachi Commissioner Syed Hasan Naqvi has refuted the death toll claims being made with regard to the ongoing heatwave in the port city, clarifying that the actual count is not as high as is being reported and has not been confirmed by any source.

The commissioner, during a press conference on Wednesday, revealed that 10 people had died due to heatstroke in the last two days while around 1,700 heatstroke cases have been reported in the city.

While sharing details about the recent deaths from heatstroke, Naqvi said that eight deaths occurred on Monday and two on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Edhi Foundation had revealed an estimate of 568 deaths heatwave-induced illnesses with concerns also raised by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan over the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and the scale of the impact.

This year, for the first time since 2015, the temperatures in Karachi have touched 42°C in June while the intensity of the “feels like” temperature reached 51°C.

The residents may get a break from the boiling weather as the city is expected to experience rain today.

While speaking to reporters, the commissioner urged welfare organisations to “confirm the deaths with the government and the administration before releasing the data”.

Naqvi also directed Karachi-Electric (KE), the sole energy company that supplies electricity to the provincial capital of Sindh and its adjoining areas, to avoid load shedding from 12am to 6am during the heatwave which, he said, “typically lasts two or three days”.

China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has made no secret of its dislike of President Lai Ching-te who took office last month, saying he is a “separatist,” and staged war games shortly after his inauguration.

China on Friday threatened to impose the death penalty in extreme cases for “diehard” Taiwan independence separatists, a ratcheting up of pressure even though Chinese courts have no jurisdiction on the democratically governed island.

Taiwan has complained of a pattern of ramped up Chinese pressure since Lai won the election in January, including ongoing military actions, trade sanctions and coast guard patrols around Taiwan-controlled islands next to China.

The new guidelines say China’s courts, prosecutors, public and state security bodies should “severely punish Taiwan independence diehards for splitting the country and inciting secession crimes in accordance with the law, and resolutely defend national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity,” according to China’s state-run Xinhua news agency.

A hotel in Kyoto, Japan, reportedly canceled an Israeli tourist’s reservation due to accusations of Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

According to CNN, Hotel Material in Kyoto informed the Israeli tourist that they could not accommodate him because of alleged war crimes committed by the Israeli army.

“We are sorry to inform you that, due to reports of possible war crimes being committed by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) members in the conflict taking place in Gaza between Israel and Palestine, we are not able to accept reservations from persons we believe might have ties to the Israeli army,” the hotel said in a statement.

Explaining the decision, Jeronimo Gehres, the manager of Hotel Material, further said that providing lodging to individuals “who might have assisted or might be assisting in the ex*****on of warfare activities forbidden by international humanitarian law based on the Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols could put us at risk of being considered accomplices and/or accessories to a person who could be facing prosecution for war crimes.”

The tourist, who lodged a complaint with the Israeli embassy, managed to book another hotel in Kyoto and continued his trip. The Israeli Embassy denounced the incident as “a clear case of discrimination.”

Khan, the deposed prime minister who was ousted from power via the opposition’s no-confidence motion in April 2022, has been facing a slew of charges ranging from corruption to terrorism since his removal as the premier.

Ram Bahadur Bomjon, known as the
“Buddha Boy” and once considered a reincarnation of Buddha by many, has been found guilty of child sexual abuse in Nepal. Bomjon, who gained international fame in 2005 for allegedly meditating without food or water for months, has been under scrutiny for years due to multiple allegations of misconduct.The recent verdict stems from charges of sexually abusing a minor girl at his ashram in the Bara district. The girl, who was living as a nun, accused Bomjon of ra**ng her when she was 17. This accusation is part of a series of allegations against him, including the disappearance of followers from his ashrams. Bomjon’s arrest in early January 2024 followed years of investigation.
Authorities found him hiding near Kathmandu, where he was discovered with a significant amount of cash and electronic devices, suggesting a well-resourced attempt to evade capture

Former Israeli ambassador to India, Daniel Carmon, suggested that India might be supplying arms to Israel amid its current conflict with Hamas as a gesture of reciprocation for Israel’s support during the 1999 Kargil War. In an interview with Israel’s Ynetnews, as reported by India Today, Carmon highlighted that Israel was one of the few countries that aided India with weapons during the war with Pakistan. Serving as the envoy to New Delhi from 2014 to 2018, Carmon stated, “The Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war [...] The Indians don’t forget this and might now be returning the favour.”

India Today reported that during the 1999 conflict, India received military supplies, including guided munitions and drones, from Israel. These remarks by the former ambassador come amid reports that India has provided drones and artillery shells to Israel to support its military efforts in Gaza, where supplies are dwindling due to prolonged conflict. Earlier in February, it was reported that Israel received Hermes 900 drones manufactured in Hyderabad, India. The facility in Hyderabad, established by Israel to produce supplies for the Indian military, reportedly sent around 20 drones to the Israeli Defence Forces.

“If there is no political input, your budget will not work. The relief you want to give to the people won’t be possible. The ground realities that you [politicians across the board] know, none of the ‘babu’ in Islamabad know about them,” he said while speaking during the National Assembly session.

BJP leader Karnail Singh is facing intense scrutiny after making a threatening statement, declaring his intent to massacre 200,000 Muslims within 48 hours. His alarming declaration, “will kill them all,” was made in the presence of Station House Officers (SHOs) from two Delhi police stations. Despite the seriousness of the threat, Delhi Police have not yet taken any action, sparking widespread condemnation and raising concerns about the potential for communal violence in the capital.

After witnessing her son being set on fire and screaming, a mother decides to disown him instead of mourning his death to safeguard her other children from being killed. The mob responsible for the violence deserves retribution, but justice remains elusive.

A video footage reveals a bear despite being released in the wild has been circling an imaginary cage for the past seven years. The bear named ‘Ina’ was kept in a tiny cage at a zoo in the Romanian city of Piatra Neamt for 20 years before being rescued and relocated to a reserve in Zarnesti. The action was carried out by the AMP Liberty bear sanctuary. “She is free, but her mind is captive even now, and there are days when she turns endlessly in a circle penned in by an imaginary cage created by her traumatic life,” said a spokesperson for the organization. After many years of complaints from local non-governmental organizations, the government finally abandoned Ina and sent her to a nature reserve in October 2014. Although now she has her own trees, swimming pool, and a nest, the shadows of the past continue to haunt her. She still cannot properly comprehend a life without bars and continues to pace the imaginary cage as if it is still around her, point out her caretakers. She has been traumatized to an extreme level where the cage has become an integral part of her life even after her release. The bear sanctuary said that in the zoo, Ina had to share space with another female bear, also her sister, Anca. The cage was so small that there was only room for one of them to exercise at a time. There was also a small pool of water that they had to share. They said they shared the video to show that such trauma caused by 20 years in a tiny cage can never be forgotten and the animal still bears the mental scars. Like humans, animals too suffer from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, especially caged animals and birds. #animalabuse
