    Man injured in Karsaz accident is fighting for his life

    A man injured in the Karsaz road accident, which was caused by a woman’s alleged reckless driving and resulted in the death of a father and daughter and injuries to others, is in critical condition at a hospital in the city.

    Family members of Abdul Salam told Geo News that the next 48 hours were crucial for him as he was put on a ventilator by the doctors.

    “So far, we have not been contacted by any government representative. We have no one for help except for Allah,” a family member told Geo News.

    The family also said after being brought to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Abdus Salam remained in extreme pain for more than eight hours, and no one was there to look after him.

    Salam is a resident of Korangi No 1 where he worked as a book supplier and had “gone for supplying books as usual when the incident took place,” they said.

    Justin Bieber and Hailey welcome baby boy, give him awkward name

    Global superstar Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey have welcomed their first baby, and they can’t be any happier. The proud parents shared news of the arrival of their little bundle of joy, Jack Blues Bieber, on August 23. The news was shared by Justin himself on his Instagram account on 23 August, Friday 2024.

    Justin Bieber posted a picture of his baby’s feet on Instagram. He captioned it:

    “WELCOME HOME

    JACK BLUES BIEBER “

    The blues is a category of music. So we are guessing their son has been named for the music, not the colour.

    When the couple announced they were expecting the baby for the first time on May 09, 2024, they did so through quite a sweet video and pictures from their vows renewal ceremony. Hailey has been updating her fans on her pregnancy journey on social media.

    Back in 2018, Justin Bieber married Hailey Baldwin in a courthouse ceremony and the next year, they tied the knot in front of family and friends.

    Here are comments from Justin fans:

    ‘Don’t sleep apart’: Yasir Nawaz reveals the key to a happy marriage

    Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir have been famous couples in entertainment for many years. As parents of three children, they have been able to sustain what is considered one of the most respected marriages within the entertainment circuit.

    Recently, the couple co-hosted a show called ‘Nadan Maizban With Mani’.

    With Mani and Danish Nawaz as their guests, the conversation turned to marriage, and Yasir offered some helpful advice.

    “In many households, husbands and wives reach a point where they start sleeping separately, which I believe is wrong. Whether you snore or have other habits, sleeping together is essential, no matter what. This strengthens your bond and relationship. Unfortunately, wives sleep separately in many homes, and husbands do the same. It’s crucial to prioritise togetherness and make your relationship more robust,” Yasir Nawaz said.

    What’s the story behind Ahsan Khan’s tattoo?

    Ahsan Khan, the versatile actor, host and performer who has been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry for many years, is well-known for his ability to captivate audiences with his diverse roles.

    Recently Ahsan Khan appeared as a guest on ‘Show time with Ramiz Raja’. During the interview a fan in the audience asked, “You have a tattoo, it’s very attractive. What is its meaning?”

    Khan replied, “The answer is in the question, I got this tattoo because it’s attractive and attracts attention.”

    The fan insisted, asking, “There must be some meaning behind it, right?”

    Ahsan Khan said, “Yes, it has a meaning, but it’s a very personal and spiritual one. It’s related to something specific, so I didn’t get it written and it’s very close to my heart. But I don’t tell anyone, so people just keep guessing.”

    A simple Google search says the tattoo is a Chinese word, which translate as Mu.

    Federal govt decides to shut down utility stores

    Geo News has reported that the federal government has decided to shut down utility stores.

    According to the administration, the federal government has given two weeks to solve transaction matters with other companies.

    They pointed out that the federal government has already lifted subsidies.

    The administration stated that out of 11,000 employees, 6,000 are permanent, while the other 5,000 are contract-based employees, all of whom will likely be significantly affected by this decision.

    Utility stores are the largest chain stores in Pakistan. They sell commodities at lower prices than the market, and the government often provides subsidies to these chain stores.

  • Harris pledges to get Gaza ceasefire deal ‘done’ while promising support for Israel’s ‘right to defend itself’

    Harris pledges to get Gaza ceasefire deal ‘done’ while promising support for Israel’s ‘right to defend itself’

    Kamala Harris pledged Thursday to get a Gaza ceasefire and said as US president, she would stand with Ukraine and not “cosy up” to dictators like her Republican opponent, Donald Trump.

    “Now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done,” the vice president told supporters at the Democratic National Convention as she accepted the party’s presidential nomination.

    Harris said that she and President Joe Biden “are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination.”

    US support for its ally Israel in the conflict against Hamas in Gaza has become one of the most divisive issues in the Democratic Party, and at times has threatened to overshadow the party’s attempt to unite against Trump.

    Harris said Hamas had caused “unspeakable” violence in its surprise attack on Israel on October 7, triggering the Israeli offensive. At the same time, she said the devastation in Gaza was “heartbreaking.”

    “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself,” she said.

    Attacking Trump for his frequent denigration of NATO and Ukraine, she said, “As president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.”

    And she called out Trump’s public praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, saying, “I will not cosy up to tyrants and dictators.”

    Tyrants are “rooting for Trump because, you know, they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favours. They know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself.”

  • JK Rowling deletes several posts, goes silent on social media after Imane Khelif lawsuit

    JK Rowling deletes several posts, goes silent on social media after Imane Khelif lawsuit

    Harry Potter author JK Rowling has deleted at least 27 tweets after Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who won gold in the women’s welterweight category at the Paris Olympics, filed a lawsuit against her, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump for online harassment.

    Social media users noticed Rowling’s effort to reduce online presence during increased scrutiny. Despite this, some of Rowling’s retweets are still visible, including one about a similar controversy involving another female athlete, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting.

    Read This: Imane Khelif takes Elon Musk and JK Rowling to court

    Imane has spoken about the emotional stress caused by the criticism but remains firm in defending her right to compete. While Rowling’s silence has raised eyebrows, Khelif’s resilience stands out in adversity.

    Background:

    This issue started when the Algerian boxer filed a cyberbullying case against Elon Musk, JK Rowling, and Donald Trump, claiming she faced “aggravated cyber-harassment,” which her lawyer, Nabil Boudi, described as a “misogynist, racist, and sexist campaign.”

    Her lawyer stated that JK Rowling and Elon Musk participated in this campaign. The issue began when American swimmer Riley Gaines posted a picture of Khelif with the caption, “Men don’t belong in women’s sports.” Musk then shared the post, agreeing with it.

    Rowling also criticized Khelif’s involvement, stating on X, “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment, enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”

    Khelif faced racist attacks after Italy’s Angela Carini withdrew from her Round of 16 fight against Khelif just 46 seconds into the match, saying she had never been struck this hard.

    President Thomas Bach of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) supported Khelif, saying, “Women should be allowed to compete in women’s events.”

    Khelif made history as the first Algerian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. She won the final match against China’s Yang Liu with a score of 5-0 and also secured impressive victories over Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng and Hungary’s Luca Anna Hamori.

    ‘I’m ready to be a mom’: Taylor Swift teases fans

    Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce’s romance is heating up. Sources say the pop superstar is eager to start a family.

    Taylor is taking a nearly two-month hiatus after wrapping off the European leg of her successful Eras Tour. She will resume concerts in October.

    Rumors are circulating that she is ready to take her relationship with Travis to the next level and wants to become a mother.

    Insiders told a celebrity magazine that Travis is planning to propose soon after the Eras Tour ends in December. Some sources even believe that Taylor will return to the stage with a big ring on her finger for her final shows.

    “She’ll come back with a big ring on her finger for the final dates before taking next year off to have a baby,” one source said.

    Another person close to Taylor shared, “She’s focused on starting a family and is eager to have a baby as soon as her tour finishes.”

    According to another source, “She wants a few children before she’s 40. Travis has only known her on tour, so she’s excited to be a football wife for a while. Once the tour is done, she feels ready to start a family and knows Travis is the one she wants to do that with.”

    It’s worth noting that Taylor and Travis first made headlines for their romance last summer. Friends of the couple have confirmed that their relationship is serious, and marriage may be on the horizon.
