Pakistani artists demand security after Amjad Sabri's murder in karachi
In Karachi Several artists demanded security for
themselves following the cold blooded murder of famed Qawwal Amjad Sabri
earlier this week.
Led by pop singer
Fakhr-e-Alam several television celebrities filed a request at the Darakshan
Police Station on Saturday requesting the government to provide everyone to security.
Speaking to Geo News
Fakhr-e-Alam said that the artist community was shocked at the murder of Amjad
Sabri. "If any other artist is attacked now, the government will be
responsible."
He said that the
government had earlier said that Amjad Sabri had not informed them about any
threat. "We are all threatened. We are letting you know. So please provide
us security."
Actors Maria Wasti and Faisal
Qureshi, Zeba Bakhtiar accompanied him.
Earlier a video by the
same actors went viral on social media.
In the video
Fakhr-e-Alam said that if government officials are 'high profile targets' so
are artists. "If government officials can have bullet proof cars and
police escorts artists demand the same treatment. And if the government cannot
provide us police escorts, then please return your own escorts so that we have
the satisfaction that we are as vulnerable as your are on the streets of
Karachi.
Prime Minister David Cameron is to step down by the next October after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Speaking outside 10
Downing Street, he said"fresh leadership" was needed.
The PM had urged the
country to vote Remain but was defeated by 52% to 48% despite Scotland, London
and Northern Ireland backing staying in.
UKIP leader Nigel
Farage hailed it as the UK's "independence day", while Boris Johnson
said the result would not mean "pulling up the drawbridge".
Scottish First
Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was "absolutely determined" to keep
Scotland in the EU so a second Scottish independence referendum was now
"highly likely".
German chancellor
Angela Merkel expressed "great regret" at the outcome, and EU chiefs
said they expected the UK to begin negotiations to leave "as soon as
possible, however painful that process may be".
But Boris Johnson, the
ex-London mayor and public face of Vote Leave who is now a front-runner to be
next prime minister, said there was "no need for haste" about
severing the UK's ties.
England top order batsman batsman Compton to take ‘immediate break’ before Pakistan series
England top order batsman Nick Compton is to
take an immediate break from cricket after a challenging start to the season
"both physically and mentally", Middlesex and England management said
on Thursday.
The decision means the
South African-born number three, whose future with England had already been
called into question, can be ruled out of the test series against Pakistan
between July 14 and Sept 7.
Durham´s Scott Borthwick
looks likely to be recalled for the opening test at Lord´s.
"It has been agreed
that the best way forward is for Compton to spend some time away from the
game," Middlesex said in a statement, which did not indicate how long the
break might be.
The county side´s
managing director of cricket, Angus Fraser, said it would allow him to
"refresh, recharge and return to play the sort of cricket we all know he
is capable of producing."
The statement added that
the player, who turns 33 on Sunday, would receive the full support of his
county and England management.
Compton, has been suffering
a run drought and scored only 51 from five innings in England´s recent test
series against Sri Lanka.
Former England captain
Mike Atherton said earlier this month that Compton ´just hadn´t got going´ and
expected him to be dropped for the Pakistan series.
Fraser told that the
player was tired: "He´s not where he wants to be at this moment in time.
He´s obviously disappointed with the way things went.
"We haven´t put a
date on it," he said of the player´s eventual return. We´ll see how he
goes and monitor it and when Nick´s ready, I´m sure he´ll make contact with us
and get back into training.
"He´s frustrated by
what´s taken place and trying to work it all out and make some sense of it. I´m
sure he´ll be back and keen to carry on his career."
The grandson of England
great Denis Compton said last month that he felt his England career was on the
line.
"I want to feel
good about my batting and I want to feel good about contributing to the England
team," said Compton, who has played 16 tests, with an average of 28.70
runs.
“Those are my driving
motivations. If you don´t play well enough you get dropped. That´s
fundamentally how it works.”

Afghan forces resort to firing again, After hoisting white flags
LANDIKOTAL: Despite agreeing to cease fire and hoisting white
flags on both sides of the border, Afghan forces resorted to unprovoked firing
late on Wednesday night. Two FC soldiers were injured as a result of the
firing. Pakistani forces retaliated to the firing. The injured were transported
to hospital.
Meanwhile, Afghan
ambassador to Pakistan Umar Zakhilwal had denied that he had agreed to a
ceasefire at Torkham during his meeting with Pakistani Chief of Army Staff
General Raheel Sharif. In a statement on Facebook he rejected the impression
that he agreed to the construction of a gate at Torkham and a ceasefire.
The installation of the
steel gate had become a bone of contention between Afghan and Pakistani border
officials as the Afghans had objected to it even though the gate was being put
up inside Pakistani territory. This had fuelled clashes at the Torkham border
for the last three days. The gate had been removed when Pakistan was building
the Torkham-Jalalabad road as part of its contribution to war-ravaged
Afghanistan’s reconstruction and development.
The Pakistan Army’s
Major Ali Jawad Changezi, who had sustained injuries later died at a hospital,
while an Afghan soldier was also killed in the fierce exchange of fire in which
light and heavy weapons were used. Several people, including soldiers, on both
sides were wounded in the clashes.
Flags were hoisted on
rooftops on both sides of the Torkham border as a display of a wish for peace.
However, Pakistan Army troops backed by tanks and armoured personnel carriers
(APCs) continued to hold their positions along the border to deter any likely
aggression by the Afghan forces.
Curfew also remained in
place for the third consecutive day in Torkham and the surrounding areas. Life
has come to a standstill in the normally busy Torkham town on the border. The
Afghan side of Torkham was also stated to be deserted due to the closure of the
border.
Pakistan's Customs
House, import and export and customs clearing agents offices, hotels,
restaurants and a lone PTDC motel at the Pakistani Torkham also remained
closed. The businessmen and traders termed the tension between the two Muslims
countries loss of billions of rupees every day.
An official of the Pakistan Customs who wished anonymity told
this correspondent that most of the trucks loaded with fresh fruits and
vegetables were asked to unload their goods in Peshawar due to closure of the
border.
"It is a big loss
for the businessmen to unload trucks loaded with Afghanistan-bound goods in
Peshawar," said the official. Many of these trucks had reached Torkham but
were turned back and sent to Peshawar.
The schools and medical
facilities both in Pakistani Torkham and Afghanistan's Torkham and adjacent
areas of the border town also remained closed to avoid harm due to the clashes
on the border, sources said. They said that three private and a government
school were operating at the Pakistani Torkham and Bacha Mina village most of
their students were Afghans. The schooling of around 1,500 children in these
schools had been affected. Around 500 boys and girls were coming from
Afghanistan via Torkham border to study at these schools in Pakistan.
Wednesday was the first
day in recent days when no exchange of fire took place at the Torkham border.
The peace brought a sense of relief to the people living in the border area as
the people hoped that the issue would be resolved peacefully.
Pakistan, France deportation diplomatic row defused

France’s
interior department had wanted to deport Muhammad Mansha to Pakistan for
criminal activity, vaguely defined as ‘severe moral crimes’. When the matter
was raised with Nisar, he reacted strongly. The minister insisted on Thursday
that Pakistan would only accept deportees as per its laws and no unverified
individual would be issued a Pakistani passport.
The Deportee Problem:During Friday’s meeting, the French envoy said Paris’s stance had not been conveyed to Pakistan’s interior ministry in proper context, leading to a misunderstanding. The envoy added that France wants to work with Pakistan on the issue of deportees.

Saudi Arabia still reviewing Haj stampede.
In JEDDAH Saudi authorities are still
reviewing a deadly stampede which struck last year´s hajj pilgrimage, the
minister of hajj and umra said on last Tuesday.

act before anything serious can happen."
Bentin said the ministry wants to use technology to better monitor service provided to pilgrims.

China hits at US Provocations says doesn't fear trouble
On
Sunday China denounced US "provocations" in the South China Sea and
said it does not fear "trouble" over its territorial disputes with neighbor’s
in the area.
"The South China Sea issue has become overheated
because of the provocations of certain countries for their own selfish
interests," Admiral Sun Jiangsu told a security summit in Singapore.
Sun, who stressed China's desire for a peaceful solution,
spoke one day after US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter warned that Chinese
construction on a South China Sea islet claimed by the Philippines would prompt
unspecified "actions" by the other and nations United States.
On Sunday visit to Mongolia, US Secretary of State John
Kerry also warned Beijing against setting up an air defense identification zone
over the disputed waters, saying it would be a "provocative and destabilizing
acts".
Rhetoric has escalated ahead of a ruling from the
Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on a case brought by the
Philippines, a longtime US ally and former colony, against China, which has
shunned the proceedings and says it will not recognise any ruling.
The Chinese admiral, in a clear reference to Washington,
said "freedom of navigation" patrols in the South China Sea were a
display of "military muscles" and that China was being forced to
"accept and honour" the tribunal's ruling.
"China firmly opposes such behavior. We do not make
trouble.
Carter had left Singapore by the time Sun made his speech.
In an open forum, Sun addressed Carter's statement on
Saturday that Beijing risks building a "Great Wall of self-isolation"
with its military expansion in the contested waters.
- China 'not isolated' -
"We were not isolated in the past. We're not
isolated, and we will not be isolated in the future. Actually I am worried some
people and countries are still looking at China with a Cold War mentality and
prejudice," the Chinese admiral said in response to questions from other
delegates.
Apparently referring to the Philippines, Sun said that
China was "by no means" a bully and charged that "some hegemonic
countries have empowered small countries to make provocations against big countries".
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post has reported that
China plans to establish an outpost on Scarborough Shoal, located 230
kilometres (140 miles) off the Philippines, which considers it part of its
exclusive economic zone.
Beijing claims nearly all of the strategically vital sea
and has developed contested reefs into artificial islands, some topped with
airstrips.
Manila says China took effective control of Scarborough
Shoal in 2012, stationing patrol vessels and shooing away Filipino fishermen,
after a two-month stand-off with the Philippine Navy.
Carter declined to elaborate when pressed on Saturday over
what "actions" Washington might take but proposed stronger bilateral
security cooperation with China to reduce the risk of a mishap.
French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drain told the forum
that the European Union had a stake in maintaining freedom of shipping and
navigation in the South China Sea, and said he would speak to his counterparts
on the issue.
Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam also have competing claims
with China in the sea, which encompasses vital global shipping routes and is
believed to have significant oil and gas deposits.
Beijing's territorial claims, based on controversial
historical records, have also pitted it against the United States, which has
conducted patrols near Chinese-held islands to press for freedom of navigation.
Pentagon say two Chinese fighters last month conducted an
"unsafe" intercept of a US spy plane in international air space over
the South China Sea.
Completion of dam signifies growing Indian influence in Afghanistan
India's
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Afghanistan on Saturday to mark the
completion of a nearly $300 million hydroelectric dam project, the latest
symbol of Indian investment in its South Asian neighbor.
The dam, originally built in western Herat province in
1976 before being damaged during the civil wars of the 1990s, was rebuilt by
some Afghan engineers and 1,500 Indian according to the Indian Ministry of
External Affairs.
"It is symbol of our friendship and would us her in
hope, light up homes, nourish the fertile fields of Heart and bring prosperity
to the people of the region," Narendra Modi said in a social media post as
he departed for Afghanistan, the first stop on a five-country trip.
Ashraf Ghani has nurtured closer ties with India in the
past year as relations with Pakistan have deteriorated in the face of continued
insurgent attacks and border tensions.
Afghanistan has walked a fine line as it accepts Indian
aid, with Pakistan historically wary of any Indian influence in Afghanistan.
"Salma Dam is another big step in deepening and
broadening the relationship between Afghanistan and India," Ashraf Ghani
said.
At more than 100 meters (330 feet) high and 540 meters
(1,770 feet) wide, the dam is designed to generate 42 megawatts of power and
help irrigate 75,000 hectares of land, according to Modi.
India has poured more than $1 billion into Afghanistan
reconstruction projects and humanitarian aid, making it one of the largest donors
to the war-torn country.
A new national assembly building in Kabul and major power
line and road construction have been among the main projects funded by India to
Afghanistan.

World Cup 2019 after putting a strong performance in the ICC Champions Trophy,
which will be played in the summer next year.
“The ICC 2017 Champions
Trophy is a crucial event for us, where
as a team our main goal will be to win as many matches as possible so that we
can improve our team ranking and qualify automatically for the ICC Cricket
World Cup 2019,” he said in a statement after the ICC announced the Champions
Trophy schedule on Wednesday.
“A lot of ODI cricket is scheduled in the lead
up to the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, and it will be our best chance to learn,
improve and win as many matches as possible so that we arrive in England and
Wales next year fully prepared and ready for the challenge,” said the Azar Ali Pakistan
captain.
Azhar Ali said he was hoping that Pakistan
cricket team would work out its
weaknesses in time to win the trophy.
“The ICC Champions Trophy
is one trophy which is missing from our cabinet. It has earned the status as one
of the most demanding, challenging and intense competitions. So, it will be
nice if we can get our hands on this piece of silverware next year.”
Ali, who has already
represented the Men in Green in 33 ODIs, where he averages over 41 with the
bat, went on to further emphasise the importance of the preparation before the
main event, where team Pakistan are placed in Group B alongside defending
champions and arch-rivals Sri Lanka,India and South Africa.
“In the face of competition
from some outstanding teams and players, it will not be easy,” he said. “But
success at any global event comes only after persistent preparations and
efforts, which have to be backed up by consistent performances.
“I am hoping that over the
next 12 months, we will be able to build on our strengths and achieve our
objectives.
