      • "content": "ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday expressed serious concern over the humanitarian fallout of India’s decision to revoke visas of Pakistani citizens, particularly those undergoing medical treatment. Responding to media queries, the Foreign Office Spokesperson highlighted the distress caused to Pakistani nationals, many of whom were compelled to return home prematurely—some without completing critical medical procedures. “Several Pakistani patients, including those in delicate health conditions, have been forced to return without receiving the care they travelled for,” the spokesperson said. “This raises profound humanitarian and ethical concerns.” The Foreign Office also pointed to reports of family separations, including cases where children have been left stranded without one of their parents. According to the spokesperson, April 30, 2025, marked the last official date for crossing the Wagah-Attari border for Pakistanis returning from India. However, the Ministry is aware of media reports indicating that some Pakistani nationals remain stranded on the Indian side at Attari. “In this regard, Pakistan reiterates its readiness to receive its citizens if Indian authorities permit them to cross over,” the spokesperson stated, adding that the Wagah border remains open from the Pakistani side and will continue to be accessible to Pakistani nationals in the future. The statement underscores Islamabad’s concern that India’s abrupt visa policy shift has created unnecessary suffering and violates basic humanitarian norms, particularly in cases involving vulnerable individuals.

      • "content": "ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly is expected to convene on May 5 to hold a detailed discussion on India’s aggressive stance and recent accusations against Pakistan in connection with the Pahalgam incident, informed sources said on Friday. The decision was taken during a high-level consultative meeting held at Parliament House, chaired by the Defence Minister and attended by senior officials from the ministries of defence, law, and parliamentary affairs. The session is likely to include a formal condemnation resolution, targeting India’s alleged false flag operations and what officials described as “unfounded accusations” against Pakistan. Sources indicated that the resolution is expected to gain swift approval in the upcoming session. India has blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack—a claim that Islamabad has categorically denied, presenting what it says is credible evidence to counter New Delhi’s narrative. Pakistan has accused India of exploiting the incident to advance hostile political objectives and destabilize regional peace. Commenting on the matter earlier this week, Prime Minister’s Political Advisor Rana Sanaullah reiterated Pakistan’s willingness to cooperate with an impartial probe. Speaking during a show, Sanaullah said Pakistan was open to a neutral or joint investigation, or even a third-party, expert-led inquiry, into the Pahalgam incident. He criticised India for what he termed its “nefarious designs” and refusal to accept Pakistan’s sovereignty, warning that such conduct risked pushing the region toward greater instability. “The world must see through India’s consistent attempts to mislead and manufacture narratives,” he said, adding that Pakistan remains committed to regional peace but would not compromise its national dignity or security.

      • "content": "WASHINGTON: May 2, 2025: US President Donald Trump’s administration proposed a $163 billion cut to federal spending next year, which would eliminate more than a fifth of the non-military spending excluding mandatory programs, it said in a statement.The White House Office Management and Budget in a statement said the proposed budget would raise defense spending by 13% and homeland security spending by nearly 65% compared to 2025 enacted levels. Non-defense discretionary spending would be cut by 23% to the lowest level since 2017.“At this critical moment, we need a historic Budget—one that ends the funding of our decline, puts Americans first, and delivers unprecedented support to our military and homeland security,” said Russ Vought, OMB director, in the statement.The annual White House budget request includes economic forecasts as well as detailed proposals about how much money should be spent by every government agency for the year that starts on October 1.However, it will be the responsibility of the Republican-controlled Congress to craft spending legislation, and what lawmakers ultimately adopt often differs from the White House request.The release comes as Republicans in the U.S. Congress are working to bridge internal divisions over proposed cuts in federal spending to pay for a landmark tax-cut bill they hope to enact by July 4. They may also have to factor in growing stress in the nation’s economy arising from U.S. tariff hikes that are upending global trade.Trump 2.0- Latest News and Updates – ARY News",

      • "content": "F.P. Report KARACHI: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb held a high-impact virtual dialogue with the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI), attended by senior leadership of leading multinational companies operating in Pakistan. The Minister shared the Government’s medium-term economic vision focused on broadening the tax base, raising the tax-to-GDP ratio for long-term fiscal sustainability, and reinforcing macroeconomic stability through structural reforms. He noted that changes in Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL) have already been implemented to enable greater transparency, efficiency, and highlighted the potential for private sector participation in data-driven enforcement going forward. He also shared that the global investors, during his recent US visit, expressed confidence in Pakistan’s pace of turnaround and encouraged the Government to sustain its reform momentum. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb reaffirmed the Government’s resolve, stating: “We are committed to implementing reforms that will enable a more equitable tax regime, encourage investment, and position Pakistan on a trajectory of inclusive and sustained economic growth.” President OICCI Yousaf Hussain stated: “We fully support the Government’s economic direction and its medium-term commitment to building a sustainable and resilient growth model — with a particular emphasis on export expansion, localization of inputs, and structural reforms focused on competitiveness and production efficiency.” Chief Executive and Secretary General OICCI M. Abdul Aleem added, “We appreciate Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s recent engagements in Washington and his effective outreach to global stakeholders. These efforts, along with the Government’s steady articulation of a medium-term strategy focused on structural reforms, fiscal discipline, and sustainable growth, send a strong and encouraging signal to the business community.” The meeting was also attended by CEOs of OICCI member companies and FBR member Policy and FBR member Customs. The CEOs of OICCI member companies raised specific questions relating to sales tax anomaly on oil refineries and other issues on tax enforcement in Pakistan. The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to deeper public-private collaboration for sustainable economic growth.",

      • "content": "Grand Theft Auto VI release postponed to May 2026 \"We are very sorry that this is later than you expected,\" says publisher Rockstar Games NEW YORK: The creative team behind the popular Grand Theft Auto videogame series postponed the launch of the latest installment by several months to May 2026, hitting shares of parent Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto VI was originally due to be released later this year, with a trailer having shown that it would be set in Miami-like Vice City and would feature a playable female protagonist for the first time. \"We are very sorry that this is later than you expected,\" publisher Rockstar Games said in a statement. \"With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception,\" it said. \"We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.\" Its predecessor, GTA V, was released in 2013 and sold more than 200 million copies. Strauss Zelnick, chief executive of Take-Two, supported the move in a statement released by the parent company. \"While we take the movement of our titles seriously and appreciate the vast and deep global anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI, we remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence,\" Zelnick said. The first trailer for GTA VI appeared in December 2023 and has been seen more than 250 million times on Rockstar ́s YouTube channel. Set to the Tom Petty song \"Love Is A Long Road,\" it opens with a female character named Lucia being released from prison in what appears to be a fictionalized version of Florida. Near the close of the one-minute-and-30-second clip, she tells her male partner in crime: \"The only way we are going to get through this is by sticking together, being a team.\" The pair go on to burst into a store with pistols drawn and bandanas covering the lower halves of their faces. Fans saw the scene as confirmation that rumors of a \"Bonnie and Clyde\" type crime couple are coming true. Along with its wild success, the GTA series has faced criticism over its violent content. Critics have from the beginning accused Grand Theft Auto of glorifying violence and encouraging players to engage in criminal behavior -- allegations rejected by New York-based Take-Two Interactive. GTA players sell drugs, fight, rob, go on car rampages and more. Gameplay options also included assaulting sex workers and going to strip clubs, raising the ire of activists.

      • "content": "Charli XCX just joined a group of music artists who signed an open letter. The written plea is a call for many to gather and support the trans community, an initiative taken by artist Tom Rasmussen and Tom Mehrtens, Head Of Music & Entertainment, at PR firm SATELLITE414. Expressing \"solidarity\" with the trans, non-binary, and intersex communities who have been impacted by the Supreme Court ruling on April 16. Along side the Speed Drive hitmaker, other artists supporting this cause include Self Esteem, Wolf Alice, Neneh Cherry, Rina Sawayama, Jessie Ware, Four Tet, Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat), JADE, Paloma Faith and Mabel as well as many others. “We, the undersigned UK music industry professionals, stand in solidarity with the trans, non-binary, and intersex communities who have been impacted by the Supreme Court ruling on April 16th. We wish to add our voices to the growing chorus of concern (including the UK writers and the UK film and television industry) and call upon members of our industry and cultural bodies to join us,” the lengthy letter read. The statement continued, “We stand with the many voices who have condemned both the ruling and the EHRC guidance, highlighting the negative consequences that both will have for all individuals and the particular harm that trans, non-binary, and intersex people face as a result. “Music has the power to unite, to inspire, and to reflect the richness of the human experience. This is our moment to amplify voices that need to be heard, to champion inclusivity and real justice, and to ensure that our industry remains a welcoming and trailblazing space for everyone. Let us stand on the side of truth, equality, and respect,” the letter concluded.",

      • "content": "KARACHI : The Sindh High Court on Friday approved the bail application of Sahir Hassan—son of renowned actor Sajid Hassan—in a narcotics case involving the recovery of cannabis. The court directed him to furnish a surety bond of Rs1 million for his release. A constitutional bench of the high court issued the order after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defence. Hassan, who was arrested on February 22, 2025, from the Defence Housing Authority area, had remained in judicial custody for over two months. The case, registered by Karachi South police, accuses Hassan of possessing 557 grams of cannabis. An interim challan submitted to the Judicial Magistrate South last month claimed that the accused had admitted to transferring proceeds from the alleged drug sales into a bank account operated by his father’s business manager. Following this revelation, the court summoned the manager and instructed him to present bank statements and financial documents to substantiate his position. However, as of the most recent proceedings, no such evidence has been submitted to the court. The bench noted the extended duration of Hassan’s custody and granted him conditional bail while trial proceedings continue. Remand granted in illegal call centre, crypto case In a separate development, a Karachi court granted a five-day physical remand of accused Armaghan to the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Cybercrime Wing. The suspect is being investigated for allegedly operating an illegal call centre and conducting cryptocurrency transactions. The District and Sessions Judge South issued the remand order following a request from FIA officials, who argued that Armaghan’s physical custody was necessary for technical analysis and further investigation. Armaghan appeared before the court via video link. The judge also directed prison authorities to ensure his transfer to the FIA’s custody for the remand period.

      • "content": "India ‘raises’ concerns with IMF on loans to Pakistan Adviser to Pakistan’s finance minister says IMF programme is “well on track” NEW DELHI/KARACHI: Amid escalating tensions between the South Asian neighbours over a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), India has asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to review loans disbursed to Pakistan, an Indian government source told Reuters on Friday. India and Pakistan have announced a raft of measures after an attack on tourists in the IIOJK last week killed 26 men and there is a fear that the latest crisis between the nuclear-armed rivals could spiral into a military conflict. Islamabad has denied any role and called for a neutral investigation. India suspended a critical river water sharing treaty and the two countries have closed their airspace to each other’s airlines. Pakistan secured a $7 billion bailout programme from the IMF last year and was granted a new $1.3 billion climate resilience loan in March. The programme is critical to the $350 billion economy and Pakistan said it has stabilised under the bailout that helped it stave off a default threat. India raised concerns with the IMF on its loans to Pakistan, asking for a review, a government source told Reuters without elaborating. The IMF and India’s finance ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The adviser to Pakistan’s finance minister said the IMF programme is “well on track”. “The latest review has been done well and we are completely on track,” adviser Khurram Schehzad, told Reuters, adding that Pakistan had very productive spring meetings with financial institutions in Washington. “We did about 70 meetings, interest has been very high for investing and supporting Pakistan as the economy turns around,” Schehzad said. The soaring tensions between the two countries has drawn global attention and calls for cooling tempers.

      • "content": "One Punch Man Season 3 is finally on the horizon, and fans of the hit anime are gearing up for the long-awaited return of Saitama, the “Hero for Fun”, making it one of the most anticipated anime news stories this year. After a lengthy wait following the second season, One Punch Man Season 3 is set to premiere this autumn. The upcoming season picks up where the last left off, as the war between the Hero Association and the Monster Association intensifies. One Punch Man Season 3 will dive deeper into this brutal conflict, bringing back familiar characters and introducing some truly bizarre new monsters that are already making waves in anime news circles. Two standout additions to the Monster Association are Nyaan and Overgrown Pochi—twisted creatures inspired by a cat and a dog. Nyaan is voiced by Ryosuke Shirakawa, and Overgrown Pochi’s character design is credited to Shinjiro Kuroda. Though their appearances are peculiar and almost humorous, their threat is very real—adding more fuel to the anime news buzz surrounding the new season. Read More: One-Punch Man season 3 teaser sparks debate among fans Despite their intimidating looks, fans still believe that Saitama, undefeated so far, will easily dispatch these foes. One Punch Man third season is expected to raise the stakes with even more eccentric villains and jaw-dropping fight sequences, as confirmed by several early anime news reports. Garou, the infamous “hero hunter”, also returns—now having joined forces with the Monster Association. After his previous defeats, Garou is determined to grow stronger, with many speculating that a climactic showdown between him and Saitama will become the centrepiece of the third season. Although a fourth season hasn’t been confirmed, the direction and excitement building around One Punch Man Season 3 has already led to fan speculation and widespread discussion in the anime news community. With the promise of epic battles, strange new enemies, and deeper storylines, Saitama’s return is poised to make headlines again and again. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just diving in, One Punch Man Season 3 is set to be one of the biggest anime news events of 2025.",

      • "content": "Monthly deficit rises 55% to $3.39bn; cumulative gap for 10MFY25 crosses $21bn Pakistan’s trade deficit soared to $3.39 billion in April 2025 — the highest monthly gap in three years — reflecting a sharp imbalance driven by surging imports and a steep decline in exports, according to the latest data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS). The deficit widened by 55.2% on a month-on-month (MoM) basis, as imports climbed 14.52% to $5.53 billion, up from $4.82 billion in March. Meanwhile, exports dropped by 19.05% to $2.14 billion in April, compared to $2.64 billion in the preceding month. On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, the trade deficit worsened by 35.79% compared to April 2024, when it stood at $2.49 billion. This came as exports fell by 8.93% from $2.35 billion, while imports grew by 14.09% over the same period, rising from $4.84 billion. The monthly deficit level recorded in April marks the highest since the third quarter of 2022, raising renewed concerns over external sector stability and the pressure on foreign exchange reserves. In cumulative terms, the trade deficit for the first ten months of FY2024-25 (10MFY25) rose by 8.81% year-on-year to $21.35 billion, up from $19.62 billion in 10MFY24. Exports during this period grew 6.25% to $26.85 billion, compared to $25.27 billion last year, while imports increased 7.37% to reach $48.21 billion, against $44.90 billion in the corresponding period of FY24. Analysts believe the widening deficit could complicate macroeconomic management as the country approaches the FY26 budget and continues negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). With inflation still elevated and monetary easing under debate, the deteriorating trade balance could weigh on the central bank’s decision-making in the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee meeting. The next tranche under the IMF program, expected to be approved on May 9, will also be closely watched for signals on how authorities plan to address external imbalances.

ہیں۔انڈپینڈنٹ اردو نے اس حوالے سے ماہرین کی رائے لی جو مجموعی طور پر یہ تھی کہ موجودہ انفرا سٹرکچر اس قابل نہیں کہ بلٹ ٹرین چلائی جاسکے۔ اس طویل ٹریک پر تیز ترین ٹرین چلانے کے لیے علیحدہ سے انتظامات کرنا ہوں گے جو فی الحال ممکن دکھائی نہیں دیتے۔تاہم پنجاب حکومت نے بلت ٹرین منصوبے کی منظوری دی جا چکی ہے۔اس بارے میں ہفتے کے روز میڈیا سے گفتگو میں سینیئر صوبائی وزیر مریم اورنگزیب نے کہا کہ ’بلٹ ٹرین کا آغاز کر کے نواز شریف اور مریم نواز اپنے ایک اور وعدے کو پورا کریں گے۔ منصوبے کی فیزیبلٹی اور ٹائم لائن کی تیاری کے لیے ورکنگ گروپ بنا دیا گیا ہے۔ نئے ریل روٹس، ریل نیٹ ورک اور پٹری سے متعلق ورکنگ گروپ سے بریفنگ لی ہے۔ اس دوران موصول تجاویز آئندہ ہفتے وزیرِ اعلیٰ کو پیش کریں گے۔‘اس حوالے سے ترجمان ریلوے بابر رضا نے جمعے کو انڈپینڈنٹ اردو سے بات کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ’پاکستان ریلویز بلٹ ٹرین منصوبے بارے تکنیکی معاونت فراہم کرے گا۔‘پاکستان اور چین کے درمیان سی پیک منصوبے کے تحت مین لائن ون منصوبے کے سابق پروجیکٹ ڈائریکٹر راجہ ساجد بشیر نے جمعے کو انڈپینڈنٹ اردو سے بات کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ’بلٹ ٹرین منصوبہ لاہور سے راولپنڈی تک مکمل کرنے کے لیے آٹھ سے 10 ارب امریکی ڈالر کی ضرورت ہے۔ ہمارے تو پہلے ٹریک ٹھیک نہیں جن پر 160کی سپیڈ سے ہی ٹرین چل سکے۔ پورا انفراسٹکچر نیا بنانا ہو گا۔‘بلٹ ٹرین منصوبے کی حکمت عملی کیا ہے؟پنجاب حکومت نے فضا میں بلند پرواز، زمین پر تیز ترین رفتار پاکستان کی پہلی صوبائی ایئر لائن اور پاکستان کی پہلی بلٹ ٹرین منصوبے شروع کرنے کا اعلان کیا ہے۔اس منصوبے کی تکمیل کے لیےاعلی سطحی ورکنگ گروپ بھی تشکیل دے دیا گیا ہے۔مزید پڑھاس سیکشن میں متعلقہ حوالہ پوائنٹس شامل ہیں (Related Nodes field)اس حوالے سے مریم اورنگزیب نے میڈیا سے گفتگو میں کہا کہ ’بلٹ ٹرین کے ذریعے لاہور سے

شپ کے آپشن پر بھی غورکیا جا رہا ہے۔ وزیر اعلیٰ نے پاکستان کی پہلی بلٹ ٹرین پروجیکٹ کے آغاز کے لیے اقدامات مکمل کرنے کی ہدایت کی ہے۔‘مریم اورنگزیب نے کہا کہ ’وزیراعلیٰ مریم نوازشریف کی زیر صدارت اجلاس

فیصل آباد سے چک جھمرہ اور شاہین آباد تک ہائی سپیڈ ٹرین کا روٹ ہو گا۔‘اس منصوبے پر اخراجات کے لیے فنڈز اور منصوبے کی تکمیل سے متعلق تفصیل جاننے کے لیے وزیر اطلاعات پنجاب عظمیٰ بخاری سے رابطہ کی کوشش کی گئی لیکن بات نہیں ہو سکی۔بلٹ ٹرین منصوبہ کتنا قابل عمل ہو گا؟جب سابق ڈائریکٹر ساجد بشیر سے یہ سوال کیا گیا تو انہوں نے کہا کہ، ’ہمارے ملک میں حکومتیں کئی ایسے منصوبوں کا اعلان کر دیتی ہیں جن کا مکمل ہونا مشکل ہوتا ہے۔ جس طرح ایم ایل ون 2015 میں منصوبہ کا اعلان ہوا پی سی ون بھی بن گیا لیکن منظور 2020 میں ہوا۔ اس منصوبے پر پشاور سے کراچی تک مین لائن بننا تھی اور سٹیشنز کی اپ گریڈیشن ہونا تھی۔ مگر بدقسمتی اور وسائل کی کمی کے باعث ابھی تک شروع نہیں ہو سکا۔‘انہوں نے کہا کہ ’چین سے پاکستان نے اس منصوبے پر خرچ کرنے کے لیے آٹھ ارب ڈالر قرض کی صورت میں لینا تھے لیکن حکومتیں بدلتی رہیں آج تک یہ رقم ہمیں نہیں مل سکی۔‘بقول ساجد ’یہ کہنا یا اعلان کرنا بہت آسان ہے لیکن زمینی حقائق کو مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے عملی جامع پہنانا ممکن نہیںاگر نئے سرے سے پورا پروجیکٹ تیار کرتے ہیں تو رقم کہاں سے آئے گی؟ پھر لاہور سے راولپنڈی تک سینکڑوں کراسنگز ہیں۔ تین دریاؤں چناب، راوی اور جہلم پر پل بنانا ہوں گے۔ دینہ اور جہلم سے آگے ناہموار زمین پر ٹریک بچھانے کے لیے خصوصی اقدامات کی ضرورت ہو گی۔‘’نئے سرے سے ٹریک

مکمل نہیں کر سکتے۔ ابھی تک کسی ملک کی جانب سے اس حوالے سے فنڈنگ یا قرض بارے کوئی معلومات نہیں ہیں۔ ملکی معاشی سورتحال ایسی نہیں کہ خزانے سے اتنا پیشہ نکال کر اس منصوبے پر خرچ کر دیا جائے۔‘ساجد بشیر کے مطابق ’یہ منصوبہ پاکستان میں پہلی بار لایا جارہا ہے اس کے لیے ماہرین اور انجینیئر بھی دوسرے ملک سے لانا پڑیں گے۔ پھر اس لائن پر چلنے والی ٹرینوں کی دیکھ بھال کا نظام بھی الگ سے بنانا ہوگا۔ لہذا حکومت کو چاہیے موجودہ ریل کے نظام کو بہتر کرنے کی طرف توجہ دیں تو زیادہ لوگوں کو فائدہ ہو سکتا ہے۔‘اورنج لائن منصوبے کے اخراجات پر رپورٹ جمعدوسری جانب اورنج لائن ٹرین منصوبے پر لاگت کی تفصیلات پنجاب اسمبلی میں پیش کر دی گئیں۔واضح رہے کہ 2019 میں پی ٹی آئی حکومت کی جانب سے لاہور میں بننے والی اورنج لائن ٹرین منصوبے پر اخراجات کی تفصیلات جمع کرائی گئی تھیں۔رپورٹ کے مطابق منصوبے پر ایک ارب 22 کروڑ ڈالر کی رقم خرچ ہوئی اور یہ منصوبہ پانچ سال میں مکمل ہوا تھا۔رپورٹ میں بتایا گیا کہ اورنج لائن منصوبے کی تعمیرکے دوران 14 انسانی جانیں ضائع ہوئیں۔ مرنے والے افراد کے لواحقین کو فی کس 21 لاکھ 78 ہزار روپے ادا

      • "content": "Pulitzer Prize award winning Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006) is a profound piece of writing that protects life in its full glory. It enunciates the barest borders of humanity. The literature describes a post-apocalytptic world filled with utter destruction. It follows the journey of a father and son, both unnamed and treated as archetypes, through an ehllish world covered with ash. Civilization has succumbed into oblivion. They search for resources to survive.The work from McCarthy’s and his sparse shaking poetic text takes each reader into a superficial exploration about love, hope, and self-reflection. It indeed offers a journey that every lover of text looks forward to. The Road paints the most powerful canvas that speaks about timeless issues including but not limited to morality, existence, fragility of life and parenthood.Central Idea: Carrying the FireAt its core, The Road is about the persistence of hope and goodness in the face of overwhelming despair. The father and son’s journey is not just a physical trek but a spiritual quest to “carry the fire”—a metaphor for preserving humanity’s moral spark in a world stripped of light, warmth, and meaning. The father, driven by fierce love for his son, clings to this fire, teaching the boy to remain “the good guys” despite the horrors they witness, including cannibalism and desolation. Cormac McCarthy poses a question: when all is lost, what keeps us human? The answer lies in their bond, a fragile yet unbreakable thread of love and trust that defies the void.Key ThemesParental Love and Sacrifice: The father’s devotion to his son is the novel’s heartbeat. He shields the boy from physical and emotional harm, even as his own body fails, embodying the primal instinct to protect one’s child. His sacrifices—whether rationing food or confronting danger—highlight the lengths to which love drives us, even in extremis.Hope Amid Despair: The ashen, lifeless world symbolizes ultimate loss, yet the boy’s innocence and the father’s resolve offer glimmers of hope. The “fire” they carry represents not just survival but the belief in a moral future, however faint. McCarthy suggests that hope is not naive but a defiant act of will.Moral Survival: In a landscape where morality seems absent, the novel probes whether morality can endure without external structures. The father and son’s refusal to succumb to savagery contrasts with the barbarism around them, suggesting that goodness is an internal choice, not a divine mandate.Environmental and Existential Collapse: Though the cause of the apocalypse is unspecified, the ravaged earth serves as a warning of humanity’s potential to destroy itself, whether through environmental neglect or conflict. The novel’s bleak setting forces readers to confront the fragility of civilization and our place within it.Style and ImpactMcCarthy’s prose is deliberately sparse, mirroring the desolate world. Stripped of quotation marks and conventional punctuation, the dialogue feels raw, almost biblical, while the landscape descriptions—gray ash, skeletal trees, ceaseless wind—evoke a visceral sense of loss. This minimalism amplifies the emotional weight of the father-son relationship, making their tenderness stand out against the grim backdrop. For literary readers, the novel’s power lies in its ability to balance existential dread with moments of transcendent humanity.The Film AdaptationThe 2009 film adaptation, directed by John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, faithfully captures the novel’s bleak tone and emotional core. While it cannot replicate McCarthy’s prose, the film’s stark visuals and powerful performances bring the father and son’s journey to life, offering a complementary lens for readers to revisit the story.Why The Road ResonatesThe Road is not an easy read, but its simplicity and depth make it profoundly rewarding. It challenges readers to consider what defines us when everything else is gone. For those drawn to literature that wrestles with life’s biggest questions, Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece is a stark, beautiful reminder of the enduring power of love and hope, even in the darkest of worlds.The Stranger: Albert Camus’s Masterpiece Explained",

      • "content": "The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday issued a stern warning to the government over persistent delays in holding local government (LG) elections in Islamabad, threatening to issue binding directives if it fails to act promptly ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd May, 2025) The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday issued a stern warning to the government over persistent delays in holding local government (LG) elections in Islamabad, threatening to issue binding directives if it fails to act promptly. Chairing a high-level meeting on Islamabad's LG elections, the Secretary Election Commission stressed that the Commission would now hold regular hearings and, if necessary, issue binding directives to ensure timely conduct of the long-overdue elections in the federal capital. The Secretary highlighted that the term of Islamabad’s Local Governments expired on February 14, 2021, and despite repeated delays, the ECP has remained actively engaged in preparations for fresh elections. “The Commission remains committed to fulfilling its constitutional responsibility,” he affirmed. He further explained that continuous amendments to the Islamabad Local Government Act have hampered the Commission’s ability to conduct elections. Despite these legal hindrances, the ECP has completed five delimitation exercises and issued election schedules on three separate occasions—each time disrupted by further amendments to the law. The Secretary noted that this recurring legislative cycle has caused significant hurdles, prolonging the electoral process unnecessarily. “Every time the commission completes preparations, new amendments are introduced, further derailing the timeline,” he said. During the meeting, which was attended by the Special Secretary, Additional Secretary Interior, Chief Commissioner Islamabad, and Joint Secretary Interior, the Interior Ministry officials confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Islamabad Local Government Act 2025 were formally submitted to the Cabinet Committee for Disposal of Legislative Cases (CCLC) on April 30, 2025. The legislation will move to the Federal Cabinet for final approval once cleared by the CCLC. The secretary directed the Ministry of Interior to ensure immediate finalization of the legislation, enabling the ECP to proceed with election arrangements without further delay. He added that although the draft law had been reviewed and endorsed by the ECP, the enactment process remains incomplete. The ECP had also reviewed the amendments passed in August 2024, and identified several inconsistencies. Authorities were instructed to develop compliant rules and forms in line with the amended Act to facilitate a lawful election process. However, the legislation is yet to be enacted. The ECP has completed the delimitation process, and it is now the responsibility of the Interior Ministry to finalize the legislation so that local government elections can be held in the federal capital. An ECP spokesperson later confirmed that the Chief Commissioner Islamabad has assured full cooperation with the Commission for the elections, contingent upon timely parliamentary approval of the revised legal framework. The Secretary stated that the Election Commission has successfully conducted local body elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan and has completed the delimitation process.",

He was given a comprehensive tour of the facility by the Consul General, who briefed him on the services and benefits the section would offer to business communities in both nations. Governor Kundi praised the UAE for its long-standing support to Pakistan, describing the Gulf nation as a \"second home\" for many Pakistanis, particularly the large Pashtuns diaspora contributing to the UAE’s workforce and economy. In this context, he urged the UAE government to consider opening a consulate in Peshawar to better serve citizens in the northern region and further strengthen people-to-people ties. Highlighting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's economic potential, the Governor invited UAE investors to participate in the upcoming Pakistan Mines and Minerals Conference in Islamabad, emphasizing the rich untapped mineral resources in KP as a lucrative opportunity for foreign investment. In his remarks, Consul General Al Romaithi reaffirmed the UAE’s commitment to bolstering economic and diplomatic ties with Pakistan. He said the new Business Visa Section would enhance mutual investment opportunities and ease the process of doing business. He also announced the launch of a five-year visa program for Pakistani citizens, a move he described as a step toward deepening bilateral relations. Acknowledging Pakistan’s vital role in the UAE’s development, Al Romaithi pledged continued support and collaboration across various sectors. The visit underscored growing cooperation between the two countries, particularly in economic and consular affairs, and opened new avenues for strengthening regional connectivity and investment.

He was talking to Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al-Zaabi, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who called on him here at the Prime Minister House today. During the meeting, the prime minister conveyed his warm wishes to Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, President of the UAE and thanked the UAE for its unwavering support to Pakistan, which bore testament to the historic, deep-rooted, fraternal ties between the two countries. The prime minister shared Pakistan’s perspective on recent developments in South Asia since the Pahalgam incident. He said Pakistan condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as it had itself been one of the biggest victims of terrorism. Citing the enormous sacrifices in terms of 90,000 casualties and over USD 152 billion in economic losses over the years, the prime minister said the country was dealing with the menace of terrorism emanating from its western front. India’s recent actions and its aggressive posture was distracting Pakistan from its counter-terrorism efforts. PM Shehbaz Sharif categorically rejected the baseless accusations leveled by India in its desperate attempts to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam incident, without any evidence. He said Pakistan had nothing to do with this and emphasized that he had offered to have a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation into the incident. He shared that Pakistan was reaching out to other friendly countries to present its position on the current crisis. While emphasizing that his government was focused on consolidating the hard-earned economic gains of the past fifteen months, which had been made possible by the support of friendly countries including the UAE, the prime minister said Pakistan would never take such an action that could imperil regional peace and security. In this regard, the prime minister urged brotherly countries, including the UAE to impress upon India to de-escalate and defuse tensions. He reaffirmed Pakistan's desire for peace and stability in South Asia.

      • "content": "Take-Two Interactive TTWO.O on Friday pushed the release of \"Grand Theft Auto VI\" to May 26, 2026, extending the wait for the most hotly anticipated title in video-gaming history and sending its shares tumbling 8% in early trading. The title, developed by Rockstar Games, was previously slated for a fall 2025 launch. The franchise is the crown jewel in Take-Two's portfolio, accounting for a significant share of revenue and player engagement, and expectations for the upcoming title have been baked into Wall Street forecasts for months. Fans have been waiting for the game for over a decade and analysts expect it to be an instant hit. The previous entry, \"Grand Theft Auto V\", released in 2013 and has sold over 200 million copies, making it one of the best-selling video games ever. \"We support fully Rockstar Games taking additional time to realise their creative vision for Grand Theft Auto VI, which promises to be a groundbreaking blockbuster entertainment experience,\" Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. Delays have become commonplace in modern game development as studios grapple with rising production costs and growing pressure from players to deliver polished experiences at launch. The postponement now pushes \"GTA VI\" out of Take-Two's fiscal 2026 release window and into 2027, which will likely bring down booking expectations for the next fiscal year. The company reiterated its expectations for sequential increases in net bookings for fiscal 2026 and 2027. Investors await more details when Take-Two reports its fourth-quarter earnings on May 15. Despite the delay, Take-Two has several titles lined up for the next fiscal year, including \"Borderlands 4\" and \"Mafia: The Old Country,\" which are also expected to be big launches. \"Given that Take-Two reiterated expectations of record level net bookings in both FY'26 and FY'27, we think this alleviates some of the potential concerns around sales cannibalization in FY'26,\" DA Davidson & Co analyst Wyatt Swanson said. Rockstar Games unveiled the first trailer for \"GTA VI\" in December 2023, confirming the game's return to Vice City, a fictional take on Miami, and introducing Lucia, the franchise's first female lead. The teaser hinted at a modern-day Bonnie-and-Clyde duo and drew more than 100 million views within 24 hours. The response to the delay was mixed on social media. Some users complained about waiting longer while others welcomed the additional polish. The move will also impact the wider industry as \"GTA VI\" was expected to be a major catalyst for sector growth at a time when US tariffs have driven up gaming console prices and sparked a pullback in consumer spending.",

      • "content": "Blake Lively reveals what kept her going through past 'intense year' Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni legal drama: Fear 'keeps us silent' Blake Lively has had to face a lot since she filed a complaint against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni. Her inclusion in the TIME100 Most Influential List, speech at TIME100 event, her promotional interviews from the past and now her presence at promotions of movie Another Simple Favour – all have been brutally scrutinized. Over this time some people have supported Deadpool star's wife, while others have deserted her. It has been a scandalous period of time for the 37-year-old. Now, Lively has poured her heart out at Late Night With Seth Meyers show about how she felt about the past months and what kept her going. \"I have had a pretty intense year\", said Anna Kendrick's costar reflecting at the time. She further mentioned that the year has been 'full of the highest highs and the lowest lows' of her life. Without explicitly naming the ongoing Lively vs Baldoni saga, Teen Choice Award winner talked about the fact that there are so many women around here who are 'afraid to speak' and 'afraid to share their experience'. The Gossip Girl alum reiterated, \"Fear is by design, it’s what keeps us silent.\" She also expressed gratitude for having the opportunity to speak up as she understands that not many are 'fortunate' enough. Amid this tumultuous time, Lively confessed that her husband and her daughters are her 'lifeline'. Therefore, she revealed that no matter how bad her day is, she continues to be 'Disneyland' around them: 'best' and 'chaos'.

      • "content": "LONDON : Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta delivered some positive injury news for the Champions League semi-finalists on Friday with possible returns for Kai Havertz and Jorginho before the end of the season. The Spaniard also told reporters ahead of Arsenal's Saturday home Premier League game against Bournemouth that he expected France centre back William Saliba to stay despite reported interest from Real Madrid. Germany forward Havertz has been out since early February following hamstring surgery, and had been expected to miss the remainder of the campaign, while midfielder Jorginho sustained a rib injury in April. \"If everything goes the way it's going at the moment and the way it's planned, I think he will have a chance to play a few games here in the season,\" Arteta said of Havertz. \"Jorginho is still out. Jorginho's got a bit more complicated than expected. Thankfully, he’s fine, he’s feeling good, he’s recovering well. \"Hopefully if everything goes well in the next week or so, I think he will gradually integrate in the team.\" On Saliba, he said recent conversations with the player indicated he wanted to stay. \"I'm quite confident that William is very happy here and that's the place that he wants to be,\" he said. Arsenal are chasing a place in the Champions League final despite losing the home semi-final leg 1-0 to Paris St Germain and are second in the Premier League, with that title already clinched by Liverpool and four games remaining. Beating Bournemouth, managed by Arteta's old friend and fellow-Spaniard Andoni Iraola, could earn a Champions League slot again next year for Arsenal. Arteta congratulated Liverpool for their deserved title but said it hurt to miss out again. \"Big time,\" he said. \"I understand that (Liverpool) is a team that is being more consistent and they have a lot of ingredients that you need to win it, but it's very painful. \"We have so much to play for still in the two competitions, Premier League and Champions League,\" he added. \"The focus is there.\"",

Both are signs the labor market remains in balance during a month when Trump announced the steepest tariffs in a century, sending stocks downward and convulsing the bond market before the administration paused many of those levies until July.With the job market holding up and inflation still running above their 2% target, Fed policymakers are expected to stick to their plan to leave short-term borrowing costs where they are while they wait to see how the tariffs affect prices and economic growth.
