  • Dutch FM resigns after failing to secure support for sanctions against Israel

    Dutch FM resigns after failing to secure support for sanctions against Israel

    The Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp on Friday resigned from his caretaker government after failing to secure cabinet support on additional sanctions against Israel over its genocide in Gaza.

    Veldkamp, a member of the centre-right New Social Contract party, told reporters that he could not achieve agreement on “meaningful measures” and had repeatedly faced resistance from colleagues over sanctions already in place.

    “I also see what is happening on the ground in Gaza, the attack on Gaza City, and what is happening in the West Bank, the building decision for the disputed settlement E1, and East Jerusalem,” Veldkamp maintained.

    Last month, he declared far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich unwelcome in the Netherlands, citing their role in inciting settler violence against Palestinians.

    His effort also included revoking three export permits for navy ship components, warning of “deteriorating conditions” in Gaza and the “risk of undesirable end use”.

    Following his resignation, all New Social Contract ministers and state secretaries confirmed their support for Veldkamp and reportedly resigned from the caretaker government in solidarity.

    No successor to Veldkamp has been announced as of yet. The caretaker Dutch government, in place since the collapse of the previous coalition on June 3, is expected to remain until a new coalition is formed after elections in October, which may take months.

    The Netherlands was among 21 countries that signed a joint declaration on Thursday condemning Israel’s approval of a major settlement project in the occupied West Bank, calling it “unacceptable and contrary to international law”.

    The comment section under Hania’s post was flooded with excitement. One user wrote, “Omg finally!”

  • Kasur molestation suspect shoots himself in private parts during police raid

    Kasur molestation suspect shoots himself in private parts during police raid

    A man accused of molesting a 10-year-old girl in Chunian was critically injured after reportedly accidentally shooting himself in the private parts during a police raid on Friday, according to media reports.

    According to the Police officials, the suspect, believed to be 27 or 28 years old, was captured on CCTV molesting the child in Zaheerabad Colony. The disturbing footage, which went viral on social media, showed him approaching the girl in the street and committing the crime. The victim’s father later identified the suspect and filed a First Information Report (FIR).

    The suspect is a daily-wage labourer from the same neighbourhood, is married and has a daughter. Following the FIR, police launched a raid to arrest him.

    During the operation, the suspect allegedly resisted arrest and pulled out a pistol. According to police sources, the weapon discharged accidentally, causing a severe injury to his private parts. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment.

    A senior officer told a private media outlet, “The suspect attempted to brandish a weapon during the raid. In the chaos, the pistol went off and injured him. Our team did not fire any shots.”

    This incident echoes a similar case from Shah Inayat Colony three weeks earlier, where another man was caught molesting a girl playing in the street. That video also sparked widespread outrage online.

    District Police Officer Essa Khan Sukhera had directed Station House Officer Asif Javed to arrest the suspect. City police apprehended the man, a labourer from Okara, three days later. He too suffered a gunshot wound to his private parts when his pistol discharged during a confrontation on Dhanpat Road.

  • US seeks advanced weapons after Pakistan down Indian Rafale with Chinese missiles

    US seeks advanced weapons after Pakistan down Indian Rafale with Chinese missiles

    A new funding request by the United States (US) Air Force and Navy reveals that they may soon acquire their own advanced weapon, the Lockheed Martin Corp. AIM-260. This comes months after Pakistan shot down Indian fighter jets, including Rafales, using Chinese-made Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

    The service branches have sought nearly $1 billion for the 2026 fiscal year, which begins on October 1, to initiate production of the classified system, according to the foreign outlet, citing budget documents and a service statement.

    According to details, the Air Force, which is spearheading the development of the AIM-260 — formally known as the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile — has requested $368 million for its preliminary production run, along with an additional $300 million listed in its annual “Unfunded Priorities List” submitted to congressional defence committees. The Navy, for its part, sought $301 million.

    As per experts, air-launched weapons that can shoot down planes at extreme ranges came into the spotlight in May, when Pakistani jets used Chinese-made PL-15 missiles to down Indian aircraft more than 100 miles away without risking return fire.

    It is worth mentioning here that after the Indian Air Force (IAF) launched missiles into the cities of Pakistan and killed innocent civilians, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down six Indian aircraft on the night of May 6-7, including French-made 4.5-generation Rafales.

    During a press conference on May 11, Indian Air Marshal AK Bharti, without disclosing the number of shot-down Rafales, admitted that “losses are part of the combat”, implying irreparable damage to their air force.

    In last year’s annual report on Chinese military power, the Pentagon said the Chinese air force had likely declared the PL-17 air-to-air missile operational in 2023, saying the PL-15 follow-on “is believed to be able to strike targets from 400 kilometres (248 miles).” 

    The new US missile “will have increased range over existing air-to-air weapons and will be effective in a variety of threat scenarios,” Bloomberg reported, citing the Air Force. The AIM-260 is designed to fit the internal weapons bays of the F-22 and F-35 fighters, but the Air Force said it would also be integrated with F-16 and F-15 jets.

  • Umar Akmal making a comeback? Training video sparks speculation

    Umar Akmal making a comeback? Training video sparks speculation

    Pakistan’s middle-order batter Umar Akmal has sparked speculation about a cricket comeback after sharing a training video from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on social media.

    Umar posted a clip showing him working out on X (formerly Twitter) along with a post thanking High-Performance Center Director Aaqib Javed. 

    His post immediately created buzz among fans, with many urging him to return to professional cricket.

    One fan wrote, “This is the energy we wanted to see! Come back stronger, bro.” Another added, “Fitness is the key. You still have the shots, now prove the critics wrong.” A cricket enthusiast commented, “Please make it count this time. You’ve got the talent, now show the commitment.”

    Some fans even showed their excitement with heartfelt messages: “We miss you on the field. Start with domestic cricket and make a statement.” Another said, “Strong comeback loading… Best of luck, champ!”

    Umar has expressed his frustration over his professional struggles many times. In a private TV interview, he said, “I don’t want my son to play for Pakistan because of what I went through. I don’t want him to face the same treatment.”

    In another interview, Umar made a bold claim, saying he faced pressure from higher authorities during his playing days. “There used to be calls telling captains not to include me in the team. I can even give you the number of one captain, Raza Ali Dar. You can call him and confirm,” Umar said.

    He added that the captain stood firm for him. “He told them, how can I drop Umar Akmal? How can I keep a player like him out?”

    With Umar Akmal now training at NCA and thanking Aaqib Javed, fans believe the 34-year-old is preparing for a strong comeback, possibly starting with domestic cricket. 

    For now, Umar has kept everyone guessing, but his recent activity shows he isn’t done with cricket just yet.
