WASHINGTON: A small apartment fire in the US capital earlier this week led firefighters to a grim discovery inside a Northwest residence, where a Pakistani American man was found dead with blunt-force and thermal injuries. Washington Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded at approximately 3:33am on Wednesday to a report of smoke in a hallway in the 1400 block of Rhode Island Avenue NW.

Bitcoin will become “more valuable than ever” after deflation stops covering “up the impact" on the US dollar, according to Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano. Bitcoin investors are being forced to rethink why they hold the asset as inflation data cools, according to Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano. “I think the challenge for Bitcoin investors, can you hold an asset when there is not high inflation in your face on a day-to-day basis?” Pompliano said during an interview with Fox Business on Thursday. “Can you still believe in what Bitcoin’s value proposition is, which is that it’s a finite-supply asset. If they print money, Bitcoin is going higher,” he said. “Bitcoin and gold are great long-term things,” he said.

• Finance ministry report says aggregate profits decline 13pc to Rs709.9bn • Power sector’s Rs9.2tr debt crisis deepens despite Rs800bn capital injection ISLAMABAD: Sitting on mammoth liabilities of Rs9.2 trillion — equivalent to half of Pakistan’s annual budget — and facing ever-rising losses and negative equity, the power sector leadership remains clueless about its business operations as a going concern and the consequential challenge to the state. This damning charge sheet has been issued by the Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) of the Ministry of Finance in its FY25 aggregate report on the performance of State-Owned Entities, as required by the IMF, posing a serious question mark on the credibility of power sector planning. This is despite the fact that the power sector remains the top recipient of equity injections, while continuously bleeding the economy and consumers at large. National Highway Authority (NHA) comes as the second biggest financial black hole after the power sector. Worst still, the busines...
