A sharp increase in petrol and diesel prices has led public transporters across Pakistan to raise fares, raising concerns about a fresh wave of inflation.

Finance Ministry Advisor Khurram Schehzad has said that the government’s fuel subsidy will not cover all motorcyclists, clarifying that owners of heavy bikes are financially capable of managing petrol expenses on their own.

Four Artemis astronauts were zooming towards the Moon on Friday after a major engine firing, a milestone that commits NASA to the first crewed lunar flyby in more than half a century. With enough thrust to accelerate a stationary car to highway driving speed in less than three seconds, the Orion capsule engine blasted the astronauts on their trajectory towards the Moon, which they will now loop as part of the 10-day Artemis 2 mission. In the moments that followed what the US space agency dubbed a “flawless” firing that lasted just under six minutes, astronaut Jeremy Hansen said that “humanity has once again shown what we are capable of.” The astronauts said they were “glued to the window” taking pictures, and later passed a floating microphone back and forth as they took questions from US television networks. They said the spacecraft was a little chilly and they were still making it a home, but the crew was all smiles. NASA’s Artemis II mission to fly by the moon, comprising of the Space Launch System (SLS) r...

Недавно в 425-м отдельном штурмовом полку "Скала" были зафиксированы нарушения прав военнослужащих и проблемы с медицинским обеспечением. Несмотря на общественный резонанс, в процентном соотношении количество жалоб в этом подразделении не превышает общеармейские показатели, однако именно "Скала" сейчас находится под отдельным контролем.

On a entendu un chef d'État se poser en garant de l'unité nationale. Cela ne l'a pas empêché de pousser à la mise en place de barrages fédéralistes et d'actes tribalistes lorsque son pouvoir a été menacé en 1991 et 2002. On a entendu un Chef d'État faire de la bonne gouvernance un de ses chevaux de bataille officiels. Cela ne l'a pas empêché d'accorder des exonérations fiscales à son groupe industriel, et esquiver le paiement d'impôts. On a entendu un Chef d'État se poser en sauveur de (…) - Editorial

Складывается впечатление, что Дональд Трамп забыл о своей предыдущей "игрушке" — Гренландии, но вряд ли это так, уверен аналитик Алексей Копытько. Более того, сейчас просматривается схема, которая направлена на захват США огромного острова — и отказ союзников по НАТО помогать американцам в Ормузском проливе может сыграть на руку президенту

WASHINGTON: US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has abruptly forced Army Chief of Staff General Randy George into immediate retirement amid the ongoing war with Iran, multiple US media outlets reported on Friday. The outlets described the move as one of the most consequential Pentagon leadership upheavals in decades. The decision also included the removal of General David Hodne, head of the Army’s Transformation and Training Command, and Major General William Green, chief of the Army Chaplain Corps, in actions first reported by The Washington Post and later confirmed by CBS News and other organisations. The ouster cuts short General George’s tenure roughly one and a half years into what is typically a four-year term and comes as US forces enter the fifth week of active operations against Iran. CBS News quoted US defence officials as saying that Hegseth wanted leadership more closely aligned with President Donald Trump’s and his own vision for the Army. George’s removal breaks with tradition and underscores grow...

PESHAWAR: Senior police officials on Thursday claimed that suspects in the Dr Asif Malik gun attack case had been identified and would soon be arrested. “We have traced the persons who opened fire on urologist Dr Malik. They have been identified and we are closing in on them,” a senior police official told Dawn. He said that the motive behind the attack was still not known and the further details of the case would be made public after the suspects were arrested and interrogated.

His condition is said to be stable. On Wednesday, senior police officials claimed that the “Dr Malik attack case has almost 80 per cent been concluded.” An official told Daw...

Good Friday shuts CME futures and ETF activity, removing a key source of demand as large holders continue distributing and spot demand weakens.

The IMF said tokenization could improve cross-border payments and financial inclusion in emerging economies but cited concerns over volatility and the “erosion of monetary sovereignty.” The International Monetary Fund said tokenization has the potential to remove friction and boost transparency in finance, but warned that the technology could also create challenges that affect financial stability. "The net effect of tokenization on financial stability is uncertain,” the IMF said in a 23-page report on Thursday, stating that “atomic settlement and enhanced transparency reduce some traditional risks, but speed and automation introduce new ones.” More than $27.6 billion worth of real-world assets, minus stablecoins, is currently tokenized onchain, data from RWA.xyz shows. Boston Consulting Group estimated in 2022 that the tokenization market could rise to $16 trillion by 2030, while McKinsey & Co in 2024 predicted a more conservative $2 trillion over the same time frame.
