  • We must welcome international intervention into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
    Haaretz - 03:56 Oct 12, 2025
    The claim that this is foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Israel is, of course, idle nonsense. The fate of the Palestinian people is not an Israeli domestic matter, nor is it an Israeli matter at all. The world has not only a right to come to its aid, it has a duty to do so,

  • Rulers little concerned about ordinary citizens: Justice Mansoor Ali Shah
    Dawn - 03:34 Oct 12, 2025
    LAHORE: Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, senior puisne judge of the Supreme Court, on Saturday deplored that successive governments in Pakistan had shown little interest in improving the lives of ordinary citizens, saying policymaking remained trapped in “elite capture”. “Everything that is done is elitist to satisfy or protect industry or perhaps pressure groups, but an ordinary person is not in the picture,” he said, speaking at Breathe Pakistan’s session “Judicial Activism and Litigation for Clean Air in Pakistan.” Senior lawyer Faisal Siddiqui conducted the session. The judge said he realised, during his whole career as a lawyer and a judge, “the ordinary person is not relevant.” View this post on Instagram Says environmental watchdog fully captured by govt Justice Shah, who is known for his work on public interest and the environment, said he was not against development, but it should be done in an intelligent way.

  • Why did it take two years to stop the war in Gaza?
    Haaretz - 03:22 Oct 12, 2025
    No transfer, no real estate, no new neighborhood in Gaza for Israeli police, no image of the last Hamas members raising a white flag. One could say that the agreement could have been signed in January 2024, but it simply wasn't attractive enough for all the parties

  • Industrial sector struggles with inflated gas bills
    Dawn - 03:08 Oct 12, 2025
    KARACHI: The business and industrial community has raised concerns over inflated gas bills for the month, which have been calculated using peak-hour charges instead of off-peak rates. This has led to significant financial distress, particularly among industries already grappling with economic challenges. Industrialists have pointed out that, had the gas consumption been assessed using off-peak rates, the cost per unit would be around Rs238. However, the bills reflect charges nearly double or up to two and a half times higher than this amount. The misapplication of peak-hour charges has led to widespread complaints from industrial consumers, who argue that this billing method is both incorrect and unjustified. Karachi chamber raises concerns over peak-hour charges, demands uniform 24-hour tariff In a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Businessmen Group (BMG) Chairman Zubair Motiwalla and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) President Jawed Bilwani called the inflated charges unaffordable and w...

  • Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank okays $235m for Lahore water project
    Dawn - 03:00 Oct 12, 2025
    ISLAMABAD: The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has approved financing of $235 million for the Lahore Water and Wastewater Management Project. This funding aims to ensure a sustainable supply of safe water and alleviate the environmental damage caused by untreated sewage discharge in the city. The loan, approved by the Beijing-based institution on Thursday, will also support the Lahore Water and Sanitation Agency (LWASA) in improving its institutional capacity, enabling it to provide better services to the residents of Lahore while becoming a financially sustainable entity. Lahore faces a dual challenge of inadequate clean water and untreated wastewater overflow, both of which require urgent attention from the provincial government. The AIIB financing will be directed towards addressing these issues in a coordinated manner. The Punjab government had requested the AIIB’s support for the construction of infrastructure to divert water from the nearby Banbawala Ravi Bedian Depalpur (BRBD) Canal, as wel...

  • Tit-for-tat fees intensify maritime tensions
    Dawn - 02:47 Oct 12, 2025
    • China retaliates with port fees as US tariff dispute escalates • Beijing residents dismiss US pressure, see limited impact on daily life BEIJING: China will begin levying port fees on US-built, owned, operated, or flagged vessels from Tuesday, in a direct response to similar char­ges being introduced by the United States on China-linked ships the same day, the Chinese transport ministry said on Friday, as reported by Reuters. Later that day, US President Donald Trump announced an increase in tariffs on all Chinese exports to the US, raising them to 100 per cent from Nov 1, and unveiled new export controls on strategic software. The move came in response to China’s recent curbs on exports of rare earth minerals. Although few US-flagged or built ships are engaged in international trade, China’s new port fee regime casts a wider net by targeting vessels where US-domiciled funds hold 25pc or more in shares or board seats. Analysts say this will significantly broaden the scope of affected companies, particularly...
  • Zelensky urges Trump to replicate Gaza deal for Kyiv
    Dawn - 02:42 Oct 12, 2025
    • Emergency crew restore power to many parts of Ukraine after attack on grid • US, UK, and Nato conduct air patrol along Russia’s border KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged US President Donald Trump on Saturday to use the diplomatic success he achieved in the Middle East as a model to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, saying that if Trump could stop one war, “others can be stopped as well.” The appeal came during a phone call between the two leaders, just a day after Moscow launched what Ukrainian officials described as a large-scale attack targeting critical energy facilities across 10 regions, including the capital Kyiv. “If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well, including the Russian war,” Zelen­sky wrote on Facebook, describing what he characterised as a “very positive and productive” conversation with Trump. The timing of the appeal underscores Ukraine’s growing concern that its nearly three-year conflict with Russia has slipped down the inter...
  • RIGHTS: RED LINES AND A PARK
    Dawn - 01:55 Oct 12, 2025
    Nearly 300 Afghan refugee families are living under the open sky in Islamabad’s Argentina Park, just miles from Islamabad’s ‘Red Zone’, the heavily secured government and diplomatic district in the federal capital. They sleep on the wet ground under plastic tarps, with no access to sanitation, medical care or legal protection — caught between Pakistan’s intensifying deportation campaign and the Taliban regime they fled. The day after rain showers swept through parts of Islamabad on September 18, teenager Uswa Kohistani sits alone under a tree, writing poetry in Dari about the crisis unfolding around her. Families spread soaked clothing across the grass to dry. Passports and school certificates lie damp inside a mosquito net. “We can neither go to work nor buy food from the markets,” says Kohistani, 19. “The police arrest us and forcibly take us to the border for deportation to Afghanistan.” Caught between Pakistan’s intensifying campaign to expel Afghans and the Taliban regime many of them fled, nearly 300 fa...
