پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی اور پاکستان مسلم لیگ نواز نے آخر کار منگل کی رات ایک ڈیل طے کر لی تاکہ مرکز میں ایک بار پھر ایک ساتھ مل کر مخلوط حکومت بنائی جا سکے – جس کے دس دن تک جاری رہنے والے شدید گفت و شنید کے بعد ایک غیر نتیجہ خیز قومی انتخابات واضح فاتح کا تاج بنانے میں ناکام رہے۔

فریقین نے اقتدار کی پائی کو تقسیم کرنے، وزیراعظم، صدر، گورنر شپ اور چیئرمین سینیٹ سمیت اہم عہدوں کا فیصلہ کرنے پر اتفاق کیا۔

اقتدار کی تقسیم کے طریقہ کار کے تحت، شہباز شریف ایک بار پھر وزیر اعظم کا کردار سنبھالنے کے لیے تیار ہیں، جب کہ آصف علی زرداری صدارتی کرسی پر دوبارہ براجمان ہوں گے۔

اس کے علاوہ مسلم لیگ (ن) کے ایک رہنما نے تصدیق کی کہ پیپلز پارٹی چیئرمین سینیٹ اور پنجاب کے گورنر کا عہدہ سنبھالنے والی ہے، جب کہ سندھ اور بلوچستان دونوں کے گورنرز کا تعلق مسلم لیگ (ن) سے ہوگا۔

US Companies Face Challenges in Race to the Moon Against China.
Recent Setbacks Highlight Risks in US Moon Race Against China's Aggressive Plans.

This week, the United States faced two setbacks in its moon race with China, underscoring the challenges of NASA's strategy to heavily rely on private companies. The setbacks include delays in NASA's Artemis moon program and a propulsion issue that led to the failure of Astrobotic's recent robot moon lander. These events emphasize the difficulties faced by the US, the only country to have previously set foot on the moon, as it strives to cut costs amid budget constraints while preserving its space legacy.

The US aims to return astronauts to the moon by late 2026, delayed from the initially planned 2025, while China is targeting crewed landings by 2030. Both nations plan to send robotic missions to explore the lunar surface before sending humans, with China's government-backed program achieving notable milestones.

Astrobotic's unsuccessful mission aimed to inspect the lunar surface with seven NASA instruments. Despite this setback, NASA plans to sponsor three other private moon missions this year, including a second attempt by Astrobotic.

To reduce mission costs, NASA is relying on companies like Elon Musk's SpaceX, which will provide its Starship HLS lunar landing spacecraft for a fee. This marks a shift from the era of the Apollo missions, where NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration owned all the spacecraft involved.

NASA Chief Bill Nelson acknowledged China's aggressive plan but expressed confidence in the US's ability to stay ahead. Meanwhile, US startups must rapidly develop space expertise and culture, a task that traditionally took well-funded governments decades to accomplish. India is also adopting a similar approach, relying heavily on private companies for its space exploration efforts.

According to Carnegie Mellon professor Red Whittaker, who led the development of a moon rover on Astrobotic's mission, debut moonshots involve numerous challenges, and encountering glitches is common during missions.

According to a note from Jefferies analysts on Sunday, Apple's iPhone sales in China fell by more than 30% year over year for the first week of January, while competitors such as Xiaomi and Huawei have "remained much stronger" with flat sales. The analysts also said that they expect Apple's iPhone volume to fall by double digits this year in China, adding that they "expect Apple to have even higher revenue pressure in China in 2024."

Huawei gained the most smartphone market share in China in 2023, rising about 6% year over year, while Apple's market share in China has fallen around 4% year over year, according to the note. The Analysts believe that the cannibalization is coming from not just Huawei, but also Xiaomi and 'others'.

The note from Jefferies analysts on Sunday follows Apple's rocky start to the year, as shares slipped on downgrades from Barclays and Piper Sandler, warnings from its supplier Foxconn about first-quarter revenue decline, and reports that the U.S. government is preparing an antitrust lawsuit.

Apple's iPhone discounts in China are on the rise, which is likely part of Apple's effort to "defend its share." The analysts found that discounts for some iPhone 14 models rose "significantly" in China last week, while some existing discounts were increased even further.

Elon Musk's social media platform, formerly known as Twitter and now rebranded as X, has announced plans to launch peer-to-peer payments later this year, as revealed in a blog post on Tuesday.

X stated that the introduction of payments aims to enhance user utility and provide new opportunities for commerce, aligning with their goal to revolutionize the year 2024. However, specific details about the payment system and the official launch date were not disclosed in the blog post.

According to information from the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System website, X Payments LLC, the payment subsidiary of X, has currently obtained money transmission licenses in only 14 states.

The inclusion of peer-to-peer commerce represents the latest significant transformation at X since Elon Musk acquired the company for $44 billion in late 2022. Musk, also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been driving efforts to turn X into an "everything app," enabling users to perform various functions, including social posting and financial management.

In a July post on X, Musk outlined plans to incorporate comprehensive communication features and the ability to manage one's entire financial portfolio. Earlier, X had collaborated with eToro, a social trading company, to introduce a feature allowing users access to cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other financial assets.

The blog post on Tuesday also revealed X's intentions to introduce more original content and talent, invest further in creators and content partnerships, and enhance advertising efforts throughout the year. The company emphasized its vision for X as not merely another app but as an all-encompassing platform seamlessly uniting diverse experiences into a single interface for everyone.
