  • Heatwave melts Abraham Lincoln’s statue in Washington DC

    Heatwave melts Abraham Lincoln’s statue in Washington DC

    An intense heat wave in the American capital, Washington DC, did not spare a wax statue of former American President Abraham Lincoln.

    The statue of Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, had been placed at Camp Barker, an American Civil War-era refugee camp.

    As the heat intensified, the head melted first, then one of his legs dropped off from the torso, and a foot turned into a blob. The chair sank into the ground.

    At one point, the head of the statue melted and hung backwards, after which the administration separated the head from the statue and preserved it for later re-installation.

    However, the head from the 6ft wax sculpture of the Lincoln Memorial is now under repair, leaving behind a wire sticking out of the 16th president’s neck.
    The statue was installed at the same location last September, but the first version of the wax monument included over 100 wicks that were prematurely lit, melting a significant portion of the art installation ahead of its dedication ceremony.

    The new version was installed in February with fewer wicks, but the heat melted it as the DC-metro area was under a heat alert over the weekend.

    Ushna Shah’s hilarious response to speculation of pregnancy

    Ushna Shah has a funny bone and she usually showed it on social media.

    The superstar was recently confronted with speculations of pregnancy, a weird rumor that started after she posted photos and videos on Instagram that made some of her followers think she might be expecting.

    One fan even congratulated Shah, commenting, “Mashallah, she is expecting.”

    However, Shah quickly cleared things up, saying that any appearance of a baby bump was just because of her tight dress.
    “It’s just the dress. I’ve worked hard to stay slim,” Shah explained.
    Ushna married golfer Hamza Amin last year.
    Shah’s recent straightforward clarification has ended rumors, showing her dedication to keeping in touch with fans on social media.

  • ‘We must show our sovereignty’: Ishaq Dar on US legislators’ resolution into election rigging

    ‘We must show our sovereignty’: Ishaq Dar on US legislators’ resolution into election rigging

    On Thursday, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Pakistan should respond tit-for-tat to the recent US House of Representative resolution demanding a probe into the February 8 elections.

    “In response to them, we will also bring about a resolution. We must show our sovereignty, we must show our unity, we must show that we mean business. This [resolution] makes no sense,” exclaimed the senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader addressing the floor of the National Assembly today.

    Earlier this week, the US House of Representatives, in an overwhelming majority, voted to demand an investigation into the rigging allegations of Pakistan’s general elections this year.

    The move triggered a strong response from Islamabad, with the Foreign Office saying it “stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan”.

  • Mehwish Hayat spills the beans on the man of her dreams

    Mehwish Hayat spills the beans on the man of her dreams

    Movie star Mehwish Hayat is always dogged by questions about marriage , even though the superstar has a decorated career to talk about.

    She has talked about why she hasn’t gotten married yet, saying she hasn’t found a man who meets her standards.

    In a viral video clip from an interview, Hayat shared her thoughts on marriage and the kind of husband she wants.

    Hayat started her career early and focused all her energy on it, not thinking much about marriage.
    However, she has clear ideas about what she wants in a partner.

    “I always put myself first before getting involved with anyone. I am Mehwish Hayat, and I deserve someone who matches my personality and standards,” she said.

    Hayat mentioned that while looks and complexion don’t matter to her, she prefers taller men. She wants a man who is masculine and has a strong presence.

    “I want my future husband to be a mix of Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa, with qualities from both actors,” Hayat added.

    She admitted she hasn’t met such a person yet, which is why she hasn’t married.

    “The truth is, I haven’t found anyone who fits my ideal, and that’s why I’m still single,” she concluded.

  • German citizenship now requires applicants to declare Israel’s right to exist

    German citizenship now requires applicants to declare Israel’s right to exist

    A new German citizenship law has been enacted, requiring those seeking citizenship to acknowledge that Israel has a “Right to Exist.”

    German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Wednesday, “Anyone who shares our values and makes an effort can now get a German passport more quickly and no longer has to give up part of their identity by giving up their old nationality. But we have also made it just as clear: anyone who does not share our values cannot get a German passport.”

    She confirmed that new questions on the topics of anti-Semitism, the right to the existence of an Israeli state and Jewish life in Germany have been added to the citizenship test.

    German Chancellor Olaf Schulz made dual citizenship a key point of his election campaign and promised to reduce the time it takes for new citizens to obtain a German passport to five years in his election campaign of 2021.

    The first generation of immigrants was not allowed to have dual citizenship. However, rising anti-Semitism, increasingly divisive debates about Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and the popularity of anti-immigrant, far-right politics led to a revision of the citizenship law.

    In December last year, the East German state of Saxony-Anhalt made it mandatory for those who want to become German citizens to recognise Israel’s right to exist.
