Jennifer Aniston, during a recent interview with InStyle, revealed she had to cut ties with a few people in her life over their vaccination status.
“I’ve just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [whether or not they had been vaccinated],” she said, “and it was unfortunate.”
The Friends star added, “I feel it’s your moral and professional obligation to inform, since we’re not all podded up and being tested every single day.”
The Morning Show diva said “it’s a real shame” that “there’s still a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don’t listen to the facts.”
In 2020, the veteran actor encouraged fans to follow the Covid’19 SOPs through an Instagram.
Mansha Pasha’s cell phone blew up while it was plugged for charging near her television set. The Aangan diva has expressed her gratitude that no one was harmed after her smartphone went off while charging.
“My phone just blew up,” the actor wrote, sharing photos of her burnt phone with a crumpled screen.
The Laal Kabootar star called the incident, “super dangerous” but was grateful that it didn’t cause harm to anyone. “This is an older model I gave to someone to use and it blew up next to the TV while on charge.”
She has lost her data as she didn’t transfer it to her new phone.
On the work front, Mansha was last seen in Hum TV’s Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida opposite Zahid Ahmed and Sonya Hussyn.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda, while taking at a jibe at the recent split in the Pro-Tareen group, took to Twitter and tweeted, “This is not a software update, but a special chip has been created and inserted to a specific section.”
Faisal also hit upon PTI MNA Raja Riaz, who is also a member of the PTI faction saying, “Another such chip is ready for Raja Ji [Raja Riaz] as well. It just needs to be installed.”
Faisal’s comment’s come as a reply to PTI’s MNA Amir Dogar, who while speaking on Geo Newsprogramme, ‘Capital Talk’ said that there has been a “group-wide software update” and that Nazir Chohan has “found his way back”.
Yesterday, Punjab MPA Nazir Chohan, a loyalist of PTI stalwart Jahangir Khan Tareen (JKT), quit Tareen’s PTI faction, saying “Jahangir Tareen used him.”
Earlier in May, Faisal Vawda downplayed the significance of the leaders who supported JKT, saying they can be handled by a station house officer (SHO) alone.

Faisal Vawda criticised Jahangir Tareen on a talk show on ARY News, ‘Off The Record’, saying, “There is no doubt that Jahangir Khan Tareen is an intelligent and successful person. But he is not Imran Khan, for sure.”

Supreme Court judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa has suggested that public sector and military hospitals should be open to the general public, reported Dawn.
Justice Isa had recently contracted Covid-19 despite being vaccinated. His statement comes in relevance to the grave situation with the surging cases of Covid-19 in Pakistan.
In a statement, Justice Isa said: “Since we are in a situation no less grave than a war, all public sector hospitals, including combined military hospitals and other armed forces hospitals, should be opened immediately to serve the people.”
“Otherwise, class and social divides will further be exacerbated and people continue to suffer and die because of an unequal system,” said Justice Isa.
“My wife and I were one of the initial lucky few in the country who were fully vaccinated as both of us were above 60; courtesy of the Chinese government. We took every precaution, including always wearing masks in public places, yet contracted the highly infectious Delta variant of the disease,” read the statement.
“Even with the vaccination, I still had to be hospitalised. I am receiving excellent treatment from very competent doctors and attendants at the Quaid-i-Azam International Hospital. Such treatment is not within the reach of most [people],” added Justice Isa.
Singer Asim Azhar clapped back at a troll on Twitter for leaving a classist comment under his pictorial tweet. The Tera Woh Pyar singer replied the netizen in a sarcastic manner.
Asim posted two photos of him on his Twitter handle, under which a user left a comment saying, “Bhai ye rs 800 me shirt li na apne?” (Have you bought this shirt in Rupees 800?)

Pakistan is observing Youm-e-Istehsal Kashmir today to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir, as August 5 marks two years of Indian Occupied Kashmir’s (IOK) military siege by the Modi regime in India.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a series of tweets, said: “Today marks two years since India’s unilateral and illegal actions of 5 Aug 2019 in IIOJK. In these two years, the world has witnessed unprecedented oppression in IIOJK (Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir) by Indian Occupation forces. It is also witnessing Indian efforts to force demographic change and destroy Kashmiri identity.”
Today marks 2 yrs since India’s unilateral & illegal actions of 5 Aug 2019 in IIOJK. In these 2 yrs the world has witnessed unprecedented oppression in IIOJK by Indian Occupation forces. It is also witnessing Indian efforts to force demographic change & destroy Kashmiri identity
PM Khan further said that the government and the people of Pakistan salute their Kashmiri brothers and sisters for their “sacrifices in their determined & legitimate struggle” for their inalienable rights.
The govt & people of Pakistan salute their Kashmiri brothers & sisters for their sacrifices in their determined & legitimate struggle for their inalienable rights as enshrined in the UN Charter & recognised in UNSC resolutions.
The Inter-Services Public Relation (ISPR), the military’s media wing, quoted Cheif of Army Staff (COAS) Qamar Javed Bajwa as saying that the “continuation of an inhuman military siege, machinations to bring demographic changes and gross violations of human rights and international laws are perpetuating humanitarian and security crises in IIOJ&K” that imperil regional security.

Speaking to a rally arranged to salute the bravery and courage of Kashmiri brothers and sisters in Islamabad, President Arif Alvi said no Pakistani will rest until occupied Kashmir, under Indian military siege is liberated.
“Pakistan will liberate occupied Kashmir,” he said. “Let me warn India that Pakistan is a strong nation.”

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan will continue to support oppressed Kashmiris.
Events have been arranged in order to call out India’s unilateral, illegal actions against the Kashmiri people. Solidarity walks of one mile have been planned in all the main cities, including the federal capital.
A one-minute silence was observed across the country while traffic was also halted for a minute, and sirens were sounded.
Two years ago, on August 5, 2019, the Narendra Modi government revoked the special status of the people of Kasmir. The Indian government rushed through a presidential decree and abolished Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which gave a measure of autonomy to the Muslim-majority Occupied Kashmir.
A woman named Wishah Abubakr has accused her husband, Shahzawar Bugti, the son of Nawab Akbar Bugti, of domestic violence and sharing her private videos on social media.
“After seven years of an abusive marriage, I left my husband. I had no other option but to leave my husband and take my daughter with me,” she said in a video.
Wishah also alleged that her husband hired a target killer to kill her but when she escaped, her husband made her private videos viral.
“Now my husband threatens to kill me,” she added.
She further said that one Noor Mukadamn has gone as she could not appeal to the people before she was killed. “I am requesting you before getting killed. Please share my message.”
Please help. I’ve shared my story. Media and Govt. Please help. This guy has hired target killer to kill me. He has feudal mindset. Me raising voice against his madness means I’ve signed death warrant (Part 1) pic.twitter.com/kMsbrYYOXQ
Wishah also asked for help on Twitter from IG Punjab, Inam Ghani.

The United Kingdom (UK) has recently announced that it is removing India from the Red List and moving it to the to Amber List from August 8 while Pakistan is still on the Red List.
Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps took to Twitter to announce the news.
UAE, Qatar, India and Bahrain will be moved from the Red List 🔴 to the Amber List 🟠
All changes come into effect Sun 8th August at 4am.
The website of the UK’s government states the rules if you are travelling from a country that lies in the Red List.
“What you must do if you have been in a country or territory on the Red List in the 10 days before you arrive in England,” states the website.
“If you have been in a country or territory on the Red List in the last 10 days you will only be allowed to enter the UK if you are a British or Irish National, or you have residence rights in the UK,” it added.
Travellers who are fully vaccinated will have to follow these rules:
Before you travel to England you must:
Take a Covid-19 test – children aged 10 and under do not need to take this test
Book a quarantine hotel package, including 2 Covid-19 tests
Complete a passenger locator form
On arrival in Englandyou must:
Quarantine in a managed hotel, including 2 Covid-19 tests
Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari criticised the move and tweeted: “I had stated in April this year that UK was playing politics on Covid restrictions when they put Pak on Red List 2 weeks before India despite the Covid management disaster in India as opp to Pak’s good management raised internationally. NOW UK again playing politics targeting Pak.”

Social media users are not happy with the decision as Pakistan’s Covid-19 situation is not as bad as India.
India: 40,000 daily cases = coming off redlist Pakistan: 5000 daily cases = Kept on redlist
This decision is not logical, but only political. If British Indians can travel to see their families, why cant British Pakistanis, where daily rate & Avg is much lower? pic.twitter.com/37FcuVsd2d
How can you not take Pakistan off the red list? You put them on before India and cases were a fraction of India and now they’re still a fraction and you haven’t removed.
