Yemen’s Houthi group said it would keep up attacks on US and British warships in the Red Sea in what it called acts of self defence, stoking fears of long-term disruptions to world trade. According to international media reports, in a statement, the group’s military spokesperson said all American and British warships participating in “aggression” against its country were targets. The US and Britain have launched strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, and returned the militia to a list of terrorist groups as turmoil from the Gaza conflict spreads through the region. The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have been attacking ships in and around the Red Sea, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians. As per reports, a ship carrying around 14,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle is marooned off the coast of Australia in sweltering heat after it was forced to abandon a trip through the Red Sea, causing an outcry from people concerned about the animal’s welfare.

Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of the neurotechnology company Neuralink, has said the first human received an implant from the brain-chip startup and is recovering well. The surgery is not a surprise: the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given the company clearance in September to carry out the first trial of its implant on humans. “Initial results show promising neuron spike detection,” Musk said in a post on X on Monday, a day after the chip was implanted. Spikes are activity by neurons, which the National Institute of Health describes as cells that use electrical and chemical signals to send information around the brain and to the body. Musk did not provide further details. In follow-up tweets sent in between arguing about video games and bantering with far-right influencers, the businessman said the first Neuralink product was called Telepathy. ”It enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking,” he wrote. “Initia...

What we put in our bodies plays a huge role in what shows on our faces. For example, drinking water makes our skin look hydrated and fresh while eating sugary foods sometimes causes spots and acne.

Pakistan spinner Usama Mir is facing severe criticism from disillusioned fans following recent setbacks in the 2023 World Cup in India and the recently concluded five-match T20I series against New Zealand. In a recent interview with a local media channel, Usama expressed his frustration with the backlash, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of public opinion. "People talk like this, they even abuse me, so I think they forget everything, and whoever performs well, in a second, you will make them Don Bradman, you will make them Viv Richards, and for one bad performance, you will even call them source (parchi)," Usama Mir said. Clearly disheartened, the leg-spinner questioned the need for such extreme reactions, urging fans to maintain their support regardless of the team's performance. "I don't know which words will be used, but I think you should support because we are playing for your country, not for any other country. If there is something, so you should...

A number of new and mesmerising images by the James Webb Space Telescope opened new doors of understanding for scientists about the life cycle of stars as the photographs of 19 spiraling galaxies are captured from near our Milky Way. The detailed photographs were released by the experts of the project Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS). As per the scientists, among the 19, the distant galaxy is NGC1365 at a distance of around 60 million light-years from Earth, whereas the nearest one is NGC5068, about 15 million light-years. A distance of 5.9 trillion miles in which light travels in a year is called a light year. The remarkable James Webb Space Telescope was launched in 2021 and began its operations in 2022. It drastically changed the understanding of the scientists about the origins of the universe with its pictures from deep space. The captured spiraling galaxies are a common type such as our Milky Way. University of Oxford astronomer Thomas Willia...

A Guatemala-bound flight from Mexico City faced an unusual twist last Thursday when a passenger, frustrated by a lengthy delay and stifling conditions, opened the emergency door and walked onto the wing. The Aeromexico flight, scheduled to depart at 8:30am, was grounded on the tarmac for three hours due to a maintenance issue. With no air conditioning or water available, tempers reportedly flared among passengers. In a dramatic act of protest, one unidentified passenger took matters into his own hands, opening the emergency door and stepping onto the wing. While the Mexico International Airport authorities confirmed no harm was caused, the man was detained by police. However, fellow passengers rallied in his support, signing a handwritten statement circulated on social media. "All passengers on the flight from CDMX [Mexico City] to Guatemala [flight] AM 0672 state that the passenger on board who opened the emergency window was for the protection of everyone , with the support...

Shamar Joseph heroics helped inexperienced West Indies clinch a historic victory at the famous Gabba in Brisbane on Sunday, 28 January. Forced to retire hurt from a toe-crushing Mitchell Starc yorker the previous evening, Joseph bounced back to claim six wickets in a session and 7-68 overall to lift West Indies to their first test win Down Under since 1997, as Australia were bowled out for 207 in pursuit of 216. Australia’s new opener Steve Smith (91 not out) farmed the strike to protect Josh Hazlewood (0), but it was to no avail as Joseph sent the tailender’s off-stump flying to register the win which sent the tourists running in celebration at the Gabba. Before the West Indies were dismissed for 193 in their second dig, Australia skipper Pat Cummins had courageously declared at 289-9 with his side still behind the visitors’ first innings total of 311. Australia prevailed by 10 wickets in the first test in Adelaide, as the series ends 1-1. Joseph, who had been sent to the hospi...

Pneumonia claimed 18 more lives of children during the past 24 hours in Punjab. According to the Punjab Health Department, a total of 870 new pneumonia cases have been reported across the province in the last 24 hours, with Lahore confirming pneumonia in 177 new patients. Over the current month, Punjab has reported over 250 pneumonia-related deaths, with Lahore alone recording 50 fatalities. Health experts attribute the rapid increase in cases and deaths in Punjab to the environmental pollution caused by smog during the winter season. “Smog, prevalent during the winter months, contributes significantly to the rise in pneumonia cases,” the health department officials. Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, often caused by viruses. It can manifest after symptoms of a cold or flu and can range from mild to severe. Typically, pneumonia is more common in children aged five or younger. The health authorities in Punjab are working to address the surge in pneumonia cases, emphasizing ...

The health ministry in Gaza said at least 26,422 people have been martyred in the Palestinian territory since October 7. A ministry statement said at least 165 people were martyred over the previous 24 hours, while another 65,087 have been wounded since the conflict began. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says oxygen supplies have run out at the besieged Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis. Israeli tanks and troops closed in on several hospitals last week with Israel saying the southern city is now the main Hamas headquarters. Fighting around hospitals has made the provision of medical care nearly impossible and halted most ambulance services, cutting the wounded off from medical care. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, just like all the hospitals in southern Gaza, is also under intense attack as it shelters thousands of terrified civilians. The largest hospital in besieged Khan Younis city remains crippled and faces collapse as Israel’s offensive continues nearby. Gaza’s Health M...

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Saturday launched its much-awaited election manifesto.The manifesto was unveiled by PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif. Speaking at the launch event of the manifesto, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, who is the party’s Manifesto Committee Chairman, said there is nothing in the manifesto that the PML-N will not be able to do when it comes to power. Siddiqui emphasized that the PML-N leader instructed the committee to include only achievable commitments in the manifesto. “Nawaz Sharif prohibited us from making unrealistic promises in the manifesto,” he stated. The delayed manifesto announcement was attributed to the party’s focus on comprehensive reforms, involving the formation of 32 committees to draft it, including an assessment of the party’s past performance. PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal, present at the event, commented on the disparity between social media narratives and reality, taking a dig at social media campaigns led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)....

PTI Founder Imran Khan and his aide Shah Mahmood Qureshi reportedly lost their temper before the special court judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain on Saturday. The special court is hearing the cipher case against the PTI leaders who face charges of leaking state secrets under the Official Secrets Act and other laws. It has been holding hearings inside the Adiala jail. On Saturday, when Judge Hasnat opened the hearing, he found defence lawyers absent from the courtroom. The judge expressed his displeasure over the absence of lawyers and issued a warning — a third in the case so far. Meanwhile, Shah Mahmood Qureshi snatched a file from the state defence counsel and threw it on the wall. Qureshi also tried to engage the judge in an altercation. Judge Hasnat warned Qureshi for his conduct. This was when Imran Khan also used strong words for the judge. The lawyers for Khan and Qureshi have been absent from the court for the past several hearings, prompting Judge Hasnat to write to the High ...

A recent preprint proposes that numerous minor black hole explosions produced the gigantic black holes of the early cosmos. While direct observation of black holes remains challenging, the presence of supermassive black holes is inferred from the observation of quasars, powerful sources of radiation fuelled by these enigmatic objects. The traditional model of star formation suggests that huge clouds of hydrogen gas collapse into smaller pockets, giving rise to stars rather than black holes. However, this new study from astronomers at UCLA and the University of Tokyo introduces the concept of utilizing tiny black holes to prevent premature fragmentation of hydrogen gas clouds. The proposal hinges on the ability of small black holes, which are theorized to have formed in the intense conditions of the early universe, to emit Hawking radiation as they evaporate. This radiation could effectively regulate the cooling of hydrogen gas clouds, allowing them to steadily collapse into massi...

Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has formally requested China's envoy for a debt rollover of $2 billion in a letter. Kakar is seeking an extension of the loan payment period for one year, with ongoing discussions between the Ministry of Finance and Chinese officials for the possible rollover. Under the current terms and conditions, Pakistan is obligated to deposit the $2 billion loan by March 24, 2024. In his letter, Kakar expressed gratitude to China for its financial assistance during the economic crisis. The move comes after Pakistan recently secured a safe deposit of a $4 billion loan, alleviating mounting pressure on external debt payments and stabilizing foreign exchange reserves. Sources reveal that the formal discussions between the Ministry of Finance and Chinese officials are progressing, indicating the possibility of a one-year rollover for the $2 billion loan.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan allowed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf President Pervaiz Elahi to contest elections on Friday. However, Elahi’s lawyer said that he will only contest elections for the provincial assembly and will not run for the National Assembly. The court ordered the ECP to allot Elahi an electoral symbol and include his name on the ballot paper. The SC also allowed PTI’s Tahir Sadiq and Umar Aslam to contest elections, ruling that a person cannot be stopped from contesting elections simply because they are absconders. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah made the ruling in favour of the two PTI leaders by overturning a decision of the Lahore High Court. During the hearing he asked the Election Commission of Pakistan’s counsel if any provision of the law barred a person who had been absonding or had been declared a proclaimed offender. The ECP counsel replied that the absconders have been charged with violating the law. However, the judge said that contesting the elections was a...

Like your face, your hands function as bridges to the world. You shake hands when you meet or greet someone for the first time and when you seal a deal. Your hands express your affection to those you love. They soothe sad children and those suffering from illness. Maybe you "talk" with yours. In any case, whenever you're interacting with others, your hands will probably spend some time in the spotlight. The problem is that your hands are also essential tools. You use them for complex maneuvers and lowly chores. And everyone is always telling you the importance of washing your hands. In the course of a day, your hands are exposed to all sorts of germs, dirt, harsh substances, sunlight and more. To make matters worse, the frequent washing that's designed to keep your hands sanitary also can keep them dry, cracked and wrinkled. If neglected, your hands' skin may end up needing medical help. That said, your fingernails (and your spirits) might benefit from a pro...

Ingenuity, the little Mars helicopter that became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet, can no longer fly due to rotor blade damage, NASA announced Thursday. Considered by the space agency as a 30-day technology demonstration of no more than five experimental test flights, the 4-pound chopper hitched a ride on NASA's Perseverance rover, landing on the Red Planet in 2021. The aircraft performed 72 flights for nearly three years at Mars and accumulated more than two hours of flight time. Its success prompted NASA in 2022 to add two mini helicopters to a future Mars mission. "The historic journey of Ingenuity, the first aircraft on another planet, has come to end," NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement Thursday. "That remarkable helicopter flew higher and farther than we ever imagined and helped NASA do what we do best – make the impossible, possible." According to NASA, imagery of its last flight b...

Get ready to witness the first full moon of the year, also known as the "Wolf Moon", as this spectacular celestial event is scheduled to illuminate the sky on Thursday night, with Venus, Mercury and Mars also expected to appear early Friday morning, thanks to the moon's rays. According to an international news magzine , the "Wolf Moon" will hit its peak at 12:54pm ET, with most of the Northern Hemisphere able to see it later in the evening. The name "Wolf Moon" comes from the packs of wolves that howl outside villages during winter, usually around January. You'll have a limited time to enjoy this marvellous lunar event, as moonrise is expected at 4:56pm, followed by sunset just eight minutes later at 5:04pm. Other planets will be illuminated under the full moon's light: Venus will rise at 5:11 am on Friday, and Mercury will rise almost an hour later at 6:05am, followed by Mars at 6:09am. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Ad...

Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed was rushed to the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology (RIC) after he complained of a heart problem. Rashid Shafique, the former minister’s nephew told media that he was informed by the jail administration that Sheikh Rasheed was shifted to RIC after reporting a heart problem. Incarcerated Sheikh Rasheed on Wednesday filed a plea in the anti-terrorism court (ATC) seeking medical examination. The former minister filed the plea through his lawyer, Sardar Shehzad, and urged the Court to transfer the AML chief to a government hospital.

Furthermore, the plea urged the Court to order a medical examination and summon the medical report of the jailed former interior minister amid health concerns. Moreover, the ATC issued a contempt court notice to the jail superintendent for not allowing Sheikh Rasheed to meet his lawyer. After hear...

Fighters from a Myanmar ethnic minority armed group have seized control of a port town after more than two months of intense clashes with junta troops, they said. The Arakan Army (AA) said late Wednesday it “completely controlled” Pauktaw, a town of 20,000 people close to a crucial deepwater port in the capital of western Rakhine state. AA fighters briefly seized Pauktaw in November, shattering a fragile ceasefire that had largely held since the military’s coup in 2021. The junta has used artillery and naval ships to bombard the town almost daily since, and strafed it with gunfire from helicopters, residents have told reporters. New Google Earth images of Pauktaw showed a block of the downtown area reduced almost entirely to rubble and damage to several buildings near its harbour. Several buildings in the police station compound were destroyed too. On Tuesday the AA said “intense” clashes were ongoing in the town. The junta has not commented on recent clashes in Pauktaw. Arou...

As a days-long, intense Israeli bombing campaign continues in Khan Younis, the UN reports that almost 90,000 residents and 425,000 displaced people have been ordered by the Israeli military to leave certain residential areas in the city in southern Gaza. The Israeli military has killed three Palestinian civilians in strikes on the headquarters of the Palestine Red Crescent Society in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the organisation says. “Three displaced people were martyred and two others were injured as a result of the occupation’s targeting in front of the northern gate of the association’s headquarters in Khan Yunis,” the medical charity wrote on X. Red Crescent official Nebal Farsakh warned yesterday that there has been a “systematic targeting of PRCS premises” by Israeli forces. Eight PRCS members have been killed in Gaza since October 7. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it’s “deeply concerned for the safety of the people” trapped inside Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza. “...

A team of Japanese scientists have made an incredible discovery, capturing real-time footage of plants "talking" to each other", Earth reported. The research, headed by molecular biologist Masatsugu Toyota from Saitama University, was published in the journal Nature Communications. The study was carried out by observing undamaged plants responding to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by other plants experiencing mechanical damage or insect attacks. The study involved setting up caterpillars on leaves while the responses of a second, insect-free plant were placed nearby. These plants weren't typical, they were genetically modified to have biosensors in their cells that fluoresced green in response to calcium ion inflow. Human cells also employ calcium signalling for communication. How do plants communicate? The use of chemical signals is fundamental to plant communication. VOCs serve as messages to neighbouring plants. They can transmit information abo...

In a nuanced market scenario, oil prices experienced a slight downturn on Wednesday, as concerns surrounding lackluster demand and the strength of the U.S. dollar outweighed the impact of escalating geopolitical tensions. The front-month March contract for Brent crude slipped by 14 cents, or 0.1%, settling at $79.41 per barrel at 0333 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude saw a modest decrease of 11 cents, or 0.2%, closing at $74.26 per barrel. A notable factor influencing market sentiment was the reported 6.67 million-barrel decline in U.S. crude stocks for the week ending January 19, according to sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures. However, a simultaneous 7.2 million-barrel increase in gasoline inventories raised concerns about potential repercussions for fuel demand in the world's leading oil consumer. Adding to the market complexity was the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, causing buyers in other currencies to pay more for dollar-denominated oil a...

The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday directed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former deputy speaker of National Assembly Qasim Suri to submit his written reply in a stay order case. Balochistan National Party’s (BNP) Lashkari Raisani challenged the victory of Qasim Suri, who contested the 2018 general election. On September 27, 2019 election tribunal declared Suri’s election from the National Assembly seat, NA-265 null and void, however, he moved to the Supreme Court and served his term on a stay order until the PTI government ended. A three-member bench headed by CJP Justice Qazi Faez Isa took up the plea against Qasim Suri. How Qasim Suri remained MNA on stay order, the CJP asked at the outset of the hearing from his counsel. Your counsel enjoyed the whole term as MNA on stay order and now you are saying the tenure of NA is completed and the case has become ‘ineffective’. The court ordered Qasim Suri to submit his written reply in the stay order case in three weeks. Me...

Most of us have done it: Late-night noshing while streaming our favorite series. Or maybe it’s that your schedule is so chaotic that you often find yourself eating dinner at 10 p.m. And sure, you know it's not ideal, but is it actually harmful? Well, a recent study looked at the link between patterns of eating late and heart disease. “Meal timing regulates the biological clocks that are involved in several circadian functions like regulating blood pressure, metabolism and hormonal secretion,” says Bernard Srour, PharmD, PhD, MPH, professor of epidemiology, INRAE, Inserm, Sorbonne Paris Nord University, co-author of the study. “Former studies have found possible links between breakfast-skipping and less favorable metabolic health. But not much is known on the link between meal timing and cardiovascular diseases.” Researchers looked at the habits of more than 103,000 adults to assess whether the times they ate food could have a link with the risk of cardiovascular disease — beyo...
