    Global nuclear watchdog rejects Indian reports of radiation leak in Pakistan

    Global nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has ruled out Indian reports and speculations of radiation leaks from any nuclear facility in Pakistan following the country’s escalated military engagement with India.

    “We are aware of the reports you are referring to. Based on information available to the IAEA, there has been no radiation leak or release from any nuclear facility in Pakistan,” an Indian outlet quoted an IAEA spokesperson as saying on Thursday (today) in response to a query on whether any nuclear incident or spill has been brought to the notice of the IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre.

    The IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre, which was established in 2005, is the focal point for the coordination of international assistance in emergency preparedness and response to radiation incidents and emergencies regardless of their cause or severity.

    Speculations in India had skyrocketed that Pakistan had come under nuclear radiation following an alleged Indian Air Force strike in Kirana Hills in Pakistan last week.

    A fake notification also popped up on Indian social media, saying the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination in Pakistan claimed that radiation leaked on Sunday during the transfer of a sophisticated mechanism in the northern region of Pakistan.

    In a joint press briefing on Monday, after being asked whether the IAF had targeted any nuclear facility in Pakistan, Air Marshal Bharti, Director General of Air Operations, said, “We have not hit Kirana Hills. I did not brief in my briefing yesterday.”

    It merits a mention that an agreement was made between India and Pakistan in December 1998 on the prohibition of attacks against nuclear installations and facilities.

    According to the agreement, the term “nuclear installation or facility” includes nuclear power and research reactors, fuel fabrication, uranium enrichment, isotope separation, and reprocessing facilities, as well as any other installations with fresh or irradiated nuclear fuel and materials in any form and establishments storing significant quantities of radioactive materials.

    Section two of the agreement read, “Each Contracting Party shall inform the other on 1st January of each calendar year of the latitude and longitude of its nuclear installations and facilities and whenever there is any change.”

    Under the Agreement, on January 1, 2025, India and Pakistan had reportedly exchanged, through diplomatic channels, the list of “nuclear installations and facilities” covered between the two countries.

  • ‘You people write anything’; Hania Aamir slams fake news with sharp response

    ‘You people write anything’; Hania Aamir slams fake news with sharp response

    Actress Hania Aamir has responded quite strongly to people spreading fake news about her on social media.

    With 18.6 million followers on Instagram, Hania is the most followed actress in Pakistan. She recently reacted in her own unique style to viral posts using her name just for views and likes.

    She shared a viral video in her Instagram story that showed mobile camera tips and tricks. However, the creator falsely used her name to attract attention.



    Hania Aamir called the claim “fake and fabricated.” She used the moment to highlight the growing problem of fake news in a simple but effective way.

    In her story, she wrote: “Although it’s not that serious, you people write anything, say anything, and talk about yourself.”

    She continued: “Anyone says anything and you agree. You keep playing with each other  what are you doing?” She also urged people to fact-check before believing or sharing anything.

    Hania Aamir took a strong stance against those who spread false information.

    Hania Aamir is not only loved in Pakistan but also has fans in India. However, during past tensions between the two countries, she was one of the artists targeted by boycott campaigns.

    Earlier, a fake Instagram story using her name went viral. It falsely claimed that she made an appeal to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Pahalgam attack. Hania clarified, saying: “I have nothing to do with this post. It’s fake.”


    Soon after that, another rumor claimed she had created a separate Instagram account for Indian fans. She cleared the air by saying she only uses one official Instagram account.

    Through her latest response, Hania Amir once again reminded everyone not to fall for fake news and always verify facts before sharing.

  • Ben & Jerry’s cofounder removed from Senate after Gaza protest

    Ben & Jerry’s cofounder removed from Senate after Gaza protest

    Ben Cohen, co‑founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and a longtime progressive activist, told AFP he was speaking for millions of Americans outraged by the “slaughter” in Gaza after his removal from a US  Senate hearing on Wednesday.

    Cohen, 74, was among a group of protesters who startled Health Secretary  Robert F Kennedy Jr. by interrupting his testimony about his department’s budget proposal.

    Shouting that “Congress pays for bombs to kill children in Gaza” while lawmakers move to slash Medicaid — the health insurance program for low‑income families — the businessman and philanthropist was placed in handcuffs by Capitol Police.

    He urged senators to press Israel to let food reach “starving kids” as he was led away.

    “It got to a point where we had to do something,” Cohen said in an interview after his release, calling it “scandalizing” that the US approved “$20 billion worth of bombs” for Israel even as social programs are squeezed back home.

    “The majority of Americans hate what’s going on, what our country is doing with our money and in our name,” he said.

    US public opinion toward Israel has become increasingly unfavorable, especially among Democrats, according to a Pew Research Center Poll last month.

    Beyond the spending, Cohen framed the issue as a moral and “spiritual” breach.

    “Condoning and being complicit in the slaughter of tens of thousands of people strikes at the core of us as far as human beings and what our country stands for,” he said, pointing to the fact that the United States pours roughly half its discretionary budget into war‑related spending.

    “If you spent half of that money making lives better around the world, I think there’d be a whole lot less friction.”

    Invoking a parenting analogy, he added: “You go to a three-year-old who goes around hitting people and you say ‘Use your words.’ There’s issues between countries but you can work them out without killing.”

    A longtime critic of Israeli policy, Cohen last year joined prominent Jewish figures in an open letter opposing the pro‑Israel lobby AIPAC. “I understand that I have a higher profile than most people and so I raise my voice, it gets heard. But I need you and others to understand that I speak for millions of people who feel the same way.”

    Israel intensified the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza after the October  7, 2023, attack by Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.

    Israeli military aggression has killed at least 52,928 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to figures from the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

    Gaza is at “critical risk of famine,” with the entire population facing a food crisis after more than two months of an Israeli aid blockade, and 22 percent facing a humanitarian “catastrophe,” a UN-backed food security monitor warned this week.

  • PCB likely to appoint new Test captain: report

    PCB likely to appoint new Test captain: report

    The Pakistan cricket team is undergoing major changes both on and off the field, with one of the most significant updates being the reported appointment of Saud Shakeel as the new Test captain. The potential move is part of a broader plan to rebuild the team.

    According to media reports, 29-year-old middle-order batter Saud Shakeel, who is currently the Test vice-captain, is likely to replace Shan Masood. This move suggests that Shan’s tenure as captain, and possibly as a player in the Test format, may be nearing its end.

    While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not officially confirmed the appointment, reports indicate that the decision is almost final. The board is also in the process of selecting a new head coach for the red-ball team, signalling more changes.

    Shan Masood was appointed captain in late 2023 but has struggled to produce results, both with the bat and in terms of leadership. After just 12 matches, many within the setup believe he is not the right choice to lead the team forward.

    Team officials are now looking for younger, more consistent players to shape the future, and Saud Shakeel fits that profile well.

    Since making his Test debut, he has maintained an average of over 50 and has displayed a calm temperament. His leadership as a captain for Quetta Gladiators during Pakistan Super League (PSL) X this year further strengthened his credentials.

    Pakistan recently had a disappointing run in the World Test Championship, and now the cricket board is planning a fresh start. In addition to potential changes in leadership, new coaching appointments are expected. Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq is reportedly among those being considered for key roles.

    Earlier, the PCB confirmed the appointment of Mike Hesson as the new white-ball head coach, while Aaqib Javed will lead the High Performance setup.

  • Mexico influencer shot dead during TikTok live

    Mexico influencer shot dead during TikTok live

    Social media influencer Valeria Marquez, 23, has been shot dead during a TikTok livestream from her beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico.

    According to a report from the local attorney general’s office, a man entered her salon and fatally shot her while she was filming a live video inside her Blossom Beauty Lounge on May 13. The video that quickly spread across different platforms showed her grabbing her abdomen before collapsing.

    The shooting happened around 6:30 pm local time, reports said, adding that emergency services arrived shortly after but paramedics confirmed that Marquez no longer had any vital signs.

    Officials are currently gathering evidence and are talking witnesses. The investigation is ongoing and the case is being treated as a femicide – the killing of a woman because of her gender.

    While an autopsy is pending following family’s identification, fans are heartbroken over the influencer’s death.

    “She was very beautiful. I hope justice is served… she didn’t deserve that ending,” wrote one fan. Another said, “No one deserves to die that way. May this beautiful young woman rest in peace.”

    Before the killing, Marquez had a large online fanbase with over 173,000 followers on Instagram and 128,000 on TikTok. Just days before the incident, her last posts on social media included a professional photoshoot.

  • Imran Khan accepts PM Shehbaz Sharif’s offer for dialogue

    Imran Khan accepts PM Shehbaz Sharif’s offer for dialogue

    The incarcerated former prime minister and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has reportedly agreed to initiate dialogue with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led ruling coalition, following an offer of talks extended by Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif.

    According to The News on Thursday (today), Imran Khan has authorised PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan to represent the party in the talks. Gohar met Khan at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, on Monday.

    However, Imran Khan emphasised that the discussions should take place away from media attention to allow for more productive and meaningful outcomes.

    Citing PTI insiders, The News reported that the party will now formally approach the government to proceed with the dialogue, believing that previous negotiations failed under media scrutiny. PTI is therefore now pushing for a quieter, more focused strategy.

    The News, citing sources within PTI, further revealed that Imran Khan wants the negotiations to have the backing of the military establishment. One source added that Khan is even open to meeting a representative of the establishment to help move the process forward.

    Barrister Gohar confirmed to The News that he had conveyed PM Shehbaz Sharif’s offer to Imran Khan. However, he declined to share the details of their discussion or the direction Khan had taken. “I can’t divulge what was discussed between us,” the PTI chairman said.

    This positive development followed PM Shehbaz Sharif’s recent speech in the National Assembly, where he invited PTI to join a national dialogue. While Barrister Gohar welcomed the proposal at the time, party circles made it clear that no progress could be made without Khan’s explicit consent.

  • PCB shares major update on PSL X tickets

    PCB shares major update on PSL X tickets

    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shared good news for cricket fans. Tickets bought before the postponement of Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season X will still be valid for the upcoming matches starting on May 17.

    This announcement brings relief to thousands of fans who had purchased their tickets earlier in the season, only to be left uncertain after the tournament was paused amid Pakistan and India tensions. With matches to resume in Rawalpindi and the final scheduled for May 25 in Lahore, fans can now attend without needing to repurchase or revalidate their tickets.

    In addition, the PCB has confirmed that new tickets for the remaining eight matches are now available for purchase via the TCS website and selected express centres.

    Islamabad United get a boost as two stars return for PSL X

    Islamabad United have received a significant boost ahead of the restart of Pakistan Super League (PSL X), with experienced overseas batters Rassie van der Dussen and Alex Hales set to rejoin the squad at a critical juncture. The team is looking to recover momentum after a disappointing run of four consecutive losses.

    According to media reports, both the team members will be playing for the remainder of the tournament, a relief following the struggle with player unavailability in recent weeks. Key figures such as Jason Holder, Colin Munro, Riley Meredith, and Ben Dwarshuis are no longer part of the squad, leaving United’s depth and balance stretched.

    The return of Hales and van der Dussen is expected to strengthen the team’s batting lineup as United aim to reach the playoffs.

    Van der Dussen, known as one of the most dependable overseas performers in PSL history, was initially drafted but he missed the early stages of the season owing to personal commitments. Meanwhile, Hales, who has been a regular feature for United in previous editions, initially drafted, now rejoins the franchise to bolster their campaign.

    Other PSL franchises, however, continue to struggle with key foreign departures. Lahore Qalandars, still in the playoff race, have lost all-rounder Sikandar Raza to Zimbabwe’s Test commitments. Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators are also struggling to replace unavailable foreign players.

  • Rooney Mara: The Quiet Star Who Shaped Hollywood Her Way

    Rooney Mara: The Quiet Star Who Shaped Hollywood Her Way

    Rooney Mara isn’t the loudest voice in Hollywood. She doesn’t chase headlines, post daily on social media, or appear in tabloids often. But when she does step into the spotlight, she owns it. With her distinct look, quiet power, and intense performances, Mara has carved out a unique space in the film industry. Her journey—from humble beginnings to Oscar-nominated roles—proves that talent, not noise, drives true success.

     

    Early Life and Family Legacy

    Born on April 17, 1985, in Bedford, New York, Rooney Mara grew up in a family deeply connected to two NFL teams. Her father’s family founded the New York Giants, and her mother’s family established the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite her sports dynasty roots, Rooney chose an entirely different path, one that led straight to Hollywood.

    Her older sister, Kate Mara, also became an actress. But Rooney carved her own distinct path with roles far removed from typical Hollywood fare.

     

    What Acting School Did Rooney Mara Go To?

    Before gracing the big screen, people often wonder: what acting school did Rooney Mara go to? Rooney took a less traditional approach. She studied psychology, international social policy, and nonprofits at George Washington University and later transferred to New York University’s Gallatin School. At Gallatin, she custom-designed her major to suit her unique passions, blending studies in acting, psychology, and social justice.

    Rather than going through a formal conservatory or drama school, Mara honed her skills through indie projects and auditions. This organic, experience-first approach gave her a raw edge, one that set her apart from more polished, trained actors.

     

    Breaking Into Film: The Early Years

    Her acting debut came in 2005 with small roles in indie films. But it wasn’t until 2010’s The Social Network—where she played Mark Zuckerberg’s girlfriend—that Hollywood truly took notice. The role was brief, but her performance was memorable.

    In 2011, Rooney Mara stunned audiences in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, where she portrayed Lisbeth Salander, a fiercely intelligent hacker with a traumatic past. The role earned her an Oscar nomination, critical acclaim, and global recognition. From that point on, she was no longer “Kate Mara’s sister”—she was Rooney, a force of her own.

     

    Rooney Mara Movies List: A Legacy of Artful Choices

    The Rooney Mara movies list is filled with bold, thought-provoking films. She consistently chooses roles that defy stereotypes and challenge conventional narratives. Some of her most notable works include:

    • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) – Oscar-nominated performance

    • Carol (2015) – A powerful love story with Cate Blanchett; earned another Oscar nomination

    • Her (2013) – A quiet but moving role in Spike Jonze’s sci-fi romance

    • A Ghost Story (2017) – A minimalist, poetic exploration of grief

    • Mary Magdalene (2018) – Reinterpreting a Biblical figure with grace and depth

    • Nightmare Alley (2021) – A noir thriller showcasing her continued range

    Rooney Mara’s filmography is a statement: quality over quantity, depth over flash.

     

    Private but Powerful: Her Relationship with Joaquin Phoenix

    While many celebrities publicize their relationships, Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix have taken the opposite route. The two met on the set of Her and grew close while working on Mary Magdalene. By 2019, they were engaged.

    Although neither has publicly confirmed a wedding, Phoenix has referred to Rooney Mara as his wife multiple times. In a 2022 interview with Best Movie, he said, “I listened to my wife, who is always right.” Again, in 2024 on the Talk Easy podcast, he used the same term.

    While this isn’t official confirmation, it speaks volumes. Their preference for privacy only fuels curiosity. What’s clear, however, is that they support each other creatively, emotionally, and spiritually. Both are passionate vegans and animal rights activists, often collaborating on causes beyond Hollywood.

     

    Rooney Mara Net Worth: Quiet Power, Major Value

    Despite her low profile, Rooney Mara net worth is impressive. As of 2025, estimates place it around $20 million. This wealth has come not just from acting but also from smart investments and ethical business ventures.

    In 2018, she co-founded Hiraeth Collective, a vegan fashion line that reflects her values. The brand has been praised for its commitment to cruelty-free materials and sustainable practices. Rooney is proving that ethics and enterprise can go hand in hand.

     

    Beyond Hollywood: Advocacy and Activism

    Rooney isn’t just about films. She has a deep interest in humanitarian causes, especially those involving children. Early in her career, she founded Faces of Kibera, a nonprofit aimed at supporting orphans in Kenya. Eventually, the organization merged with the UMEWE project to expand its reach.

    Her activism also ties into her lifestyle. As a passionate vegan, Rooney actively supports animal welfare initiatives. She’s used her platform to promote documentaries like Dominion and raise awareness about factory farming.

     

    Style and Substance: A Fashion Icon

    Even though Rooney Mara isn’t often in the spotlight, when she appears, she’s unforgettable. With her porcelain skin, dark hair, and minimalist aesthetic, she’s become a fashion icon. Designers like Givenchy, Valentino, and Rodarte frequently dress her for red carpets.

    But Rooney doesn’t follow trends, she sets them. Her fashion sense mirrors her film choices: daring, bold, and thoughtful.

     

    The Future: What’s Next for Rooney Mara?

    Rooney Mara continues to evolve. With a child now in her life (she and Joaquin Phoenix welcomed a son named River in 2020), she has added motherhood to her list of roles. But she’s far from done with acting. In 2025 and beyond, she’s expected to appear in more independent films and collaborate with visionary directors.

    Given her selective approach to projects, fans can always expect depth and substance in anything she chooses.

     

    Final Thoughts: The Magic of Rooney Mara

    There’s something rare about Rooney Mara. She doesn’t flood social media feeds or chase fame. Instead, she lets her work speak. And it speaks volumes.

    In an industry often driven by buzz and noise, Rooney offers stillness, mystery, and depth. Whether it’s through the powerful Rooney Mara movies list, her quiet advocacy, or her inspiring partnership with Joaquin Phoenix, she has built a legacy of meaning.

    Her journey isn’t just about Hollywood—it’s about purpose. And that’s why Rooney Mara continues to captivate audiences, not with spectacle, but with soul. Wellness advocates like Casey Means, recently tapped by Trump for Surgeon General, reflect the same mindful values that Rooney Mara embraces.
