По состоянию на 2026 год она второй раз находится в этой роли — после возвращения Дональда Трампа в Белый дом. Ее публичный образ формировался на пересечении сдержанности, ограниченной публичности и постоянного внимания со стороны медиа, которые нередко пытались интерпретировать ее молчание не меньше, чем слова.

2025 год стал точкой окончательного перелома мироустройства, в котором Америка и западная демократия служила единственной опорой.

LAHORE: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Saturday forecast hot and dry weather across most districts of Punjab on Sunday and warned that temperatures might remain above normal, particularly in the central and southern plains. According to the latest weather outlook, a shallow westerly wave that previously affected upper parts of the country has weakened, leaving little chance of rain. As a result, dry and humid conditions are expected to dominate across the province. The PMD said that unlike Saturday — when isolated areas such as Kashmir, Murree and the Galliyat experienced partly cloudy weather with chances of light rain — Sunday will see no significant rainfall even in these upper areas. This shift indicates a further increase in heat intensity. In plains, especially across central and southern Punjab, daytime temperatures are expected to remain 3 to 5 degrees Celsius above normal, adding to the discomfort citizens already facing due to rising heat levels. Recent weather data highlights the i...

KARACHI: As the city has been facing a shortage of 250 million gallons per day (MGD) due to the replacement of a main line, the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) announced on Saturday night that it had restored the supply of 100MGD to minimise the shortfall. On Saturday, the water utility started final interconnection work on a new transmission line at the Dhabeji Pumping Station and took offline nine pumps. It had said that 250MGD water shortfall would persist for two days as seven pumps would be restored by April 27, while two will remain offline for five more days to finish technical work. However, a KWSC spokesman said that four of the nine pumps had been restored late on Saturday night. He said that water supply from the K-3 pumping house at Dhabeji had been resumed after technical restoration work. “With four pumps now operational, the system has added nearly 100 MGD back into Karachi’s distribution network, easing pressure on the city’s water supply,” he added. The spokesperson added that o...

LAHORE: The public at large, trade unions, associations and civil society groups have widely criticised the government for once again increasing the petrol and diesel prices and sought withdrawal of the decision with immediate effect. They also expressed concerns over the increasing price hike of commodities, transportation and other charges due to repeated increases in the petroleum prices. “With this increase of nearly Rs27 per litre, petrol has now crossed Rs393, almost reaching Rs400. So how can common people, who are already passing through immense financial stress, survive in such a terrible situation,” commented a motorist while talking to Dawn at a petrol pump in Gulberg. “We were expecting a reduction in the POL prices but the increase surprised us. This is highhandedness with the public at large,” he deplored while lashing out at the government.
