ISLAMABAD: A District and Sessions Court granted interim bail to former first lady Bushra Bibi until January 13, in four cases related to the November 26th protests. District and Sessions Judge Shabbir Bhatti heard the interim bail applications filed by Bushra Bibi in the Nov 26 protest cases. The court granted her interim bail till January 13 against bonds of Rs50,000. The PTI founder’s wife, Bushra Bibi appeared before court along with her lawyers for interim bail in four cases registered against her at Tarnol police station, and three at Ramana police station. On December 21, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi approved interim bail of Bushra Bibi in 32 cases till January 13, her counsel said. According to details, PTI founder’s wife appeared before the ATC along with her counsel and sought bail in total of 32 cases, including 23 pertaining to May 9 violence. The former first lady has been grated interim bail in 32 cases registered in Rawalpindi, Attock and Chakwal. She appeared in court at the hearing and provided the necessary surety bonds to obtain interim bail. Former first lady Bushra Bibi left the court premises after the bail was granted, and her next court appearance is set for mid-January. Her counsel, Faisal Malik argued that the cases registered against Bushra Bibi are ‘politically motivated and aimed at vengeance’. On Nov 13, Imran issued a “final call” for nationwide protests on Nov 24, demanding the restoration of the PTI’s electoral mandate, the release of detained party members, and the reversal of the 26th Amendment which he said had strengthened a “dictatorial regime”. At least six lives were lost in the three days of protests, which included a policeman and three Rangers officials who were knocked down by a speeding vehicle, officials and hospital sources said. Claims and counter-claims over deaths purportedly caused by law-enforcement action against the PTI marchers remain a major bone of contention between the government and the opposition party.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A Jan. 6 riot defendant from Indiana who escaped his prison sentence is applying for refugee status in Canada. Antony Vo in November told I-Team 8 he still believes President-elect Donald Trump will deliver pardons to all Jan. 6 riot defendants once he’s back in the Oval Office on Jan. 20. But, for now, Vo is waiting for that day in Canada as he goes through the country’s asylum process. Vo said his immediate plans include skiing. He and his mother, Annie Vo, were convicted as nonviolent participants in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, but Antony never served his nine-month sentence. “The majority of Jan. 6 people have been held more than accountable,” Antony Vo said. Vo says he’s already gone through medical evaluations but canceled a refugee eligibility hearing with Canadian authorities. He’s waiting for assurances that he won’t be detained and sent back to the U.S. Vo’s application for political refugee status makes sweeping claims that he’s the victim of a government conspiracy, writing that his conviction is “purely political persecution.” The application, obtained by I-Team 8, states a legal fund set up for Jan. 6 riot defendants is helping Vo pay for an attorney. He has no plans to turn himself in. “Our country, ourselves, we have a long history of standing up for our rights, what we believe in.” Canadian officials say that, due to privacy legislation, the government cannot comment on specific refugee cases. But, one of the factors officials will use to evaluate a refugee claim is whether that person has committed a serious crime. The U.S. Marshals Service by Friday afternoon had not responded to requests for an update on the search for Vo.Edwardsville golfer Mason Lewis will carry on family legacy at SMU
With Trump on the way, advocates look to states to pick up medical debt fightThe day some colleagues and I launched Canada's National Observer in 2015 , we thought climate change was still years away. None of us imagined how quickly it would arrive. A decade later, we’re racing against time. But solutions are emerging, and they’re coming rapidly. Through Canada’s National Observer’s solutions-focused reporting, we’ve highlighted so many innovative policies, breakthrough technologies, and community-driven initiatives this year, solutions that are making a real difference. These stories show that progress is not only possible, it’s happening – even in the face of significant challenges, and these stories inspire action across Canada and beyond. Building on Our Impact Your support has also enabled us to expose corporate influence networks and the money behind climate denial. When our reporting triggered parliamentary inquiries and drove policy changes, that was your impact in action. Your support has also helped us report on dozens of solutions this year — stories that spark hope and show a path forward. Over the past few weeks, you’ve heard directly from our editors and journalists about the most impactful stories they did in 2024. Those letters show how your support powered investigations that made a difference — holding decision-makers accountable, exposing corruption, and showcasing the wonderful solutions that drive change. As our winter campaign aims to raise $150,000, we want to expand our capacity to do even more next year, because the news is not always negative. This funding will allow us to: Your donation today will ensure we have the resources to amplify stories of hope and action while getting the public the necessary information. We reached 2.5 million Canadians last year and we hope to expand our audience in 2025 through paid campaigns that introduce new readers to CNO. But we can’t do much without your help. Tax receipts are available for donations of $100+, see specific instructions at the end. The Stakes for Canada In 2025, the risks to climate policy are closer to home than ever. The forces of climate denial are becoming more sophisticated, trading outright rejection for greenwashing tactics that delay meaningful action. At the same time, cross-border misinformation campaigns are influencing Canadian public opinion and policy decisions. Despite these challenges, I remain cautiously optimistic. Solutions exist, and they are within reach. With accurate reporting, governments and businesses can be held accountable to act on them. Your Role in the Solution If you’re reading this, you’re already part of the CNO community. Your support powers everything we do. You make it possible for us to produce journalism that informs policymakers, sparks change, and inspires action. Thank you for your support to date.

`Rohit Sharma kaun hai?`: This and other interesting things Indians asked Alexa
Josh Hawley thinks America needs a religious revival. Is this man helping him find itManmohan Singh's father may have believed his bookworm son would one day lead India, but the understated technocrat with the trademark blue turban, who died Thursday at the age of 92, never dreamed it would actually happen. Singh was pitchforked into leading the world's largest democracy in 2004 by the shock decision of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi to turn down the role after leading the party to an upset win over the ruling Hindu nationalists. He oversaw an economic boom in Asia's fourth-largest economy in his first term, although slowing growth in later years marred his second stint. Known as "Mr Clean", Singh nonetheless saw his image tarnished during his decade-long tenure when a series of corruption cases became public. As finance minister in the early 1990s, he was hailed at home and abroad for initiating big-bang reforms that opened India's inward-looking economy to the world. Known as a loyalist to the Gandhi political dynasty, Singh studied economics to find a way to eradicate poverty in the vast nation and never held elected office before becoming PM. But he deftly managed the rough and tumble of Indian politics -- even though many said Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born widow of the assassinated Rajiv Gandhi, was the power behind the throne. - Streetlight studying - Born in 1932 in the mud-house village of Gah in what is now Pakistan, Singh moved to the holy Sikh city of Amritsar as a teenager around the time the subcontinent was split at the end of British rule into mainly Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. His father was a dry-fruit seller in Amritsar, and he had nine brothers and sisters. He was so determined to get an education he would study at night under streetlights because it was too noisy at home, his brother Surjit Singh told AFP in 2004. "Our father always used to say Manmohan will be the prime minister of India since he stuck out among the 10 children," said Singh. "He always had his nose in a book." Singh won scholarships to attend both Cambridge, where he obtained a first in economics, and Oxford, where he completed his PhD. He worked in a string of senior civil posts, served as a central bank governor and also held various jobs with global agencies such as the United Nations. Singh was tapped in 1991 by then Congress prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao to reel India back from the worst financial crisis in its modern history -- currency reserves had sunk so low the country was on the brink of defaulting on foreign loans. Singh unleashed sweeping change that broke sharply with India's Soviet-style state-directed economy. - 'History will be kinder' - In his first term he steered the economy through a period of nine-percent growth, lending the country the international clout it had long sought. He also sealed a landmark nuclear deal with the US that he said would help India meet its growing energy needs. But by 2008 there was growing disquiet among the ruling alliance's left-leaning parties about the pact, while high inflation -- notably food and fuel prices -- hit India's poor hard. Still, voters remained drawn to his calm, pragmatic persona, and in 2009 Congress steered its alliance to a second term. Singh vowed to step up financial reforms to drive economic growth, but he came under increasing fire from critics who said he had done nothing to stop a string of corruption scandals on his watch. Several months before the 2014 elections, Singh said he would retire after the polls, with Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul earmarked to take his place if Congress won. But Congress crashed to its worst-ever result at that time as the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Narendra Modi, won a landslide. More recently, an unflattering book by a former aide titled "The Accidental Prime Minister" portrayed him as timid and controlled by Sonia Gandhi. Singh -- who said historians would be kinder to him than contemporary detractors -- became a vocal critic of Modi's economic policies, and more recently warned about the risks that rising communal tensions posed to India's democracy. pmc-grk/abh/fox/leg/sms
CRANFORD, N.J. , Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Citius Oncology, Inc. ("Citius Oncology" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CTOR), a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel targeted oncology therapies, today reported business and financial results for the fiscal full year ended September 30, 2024 . Fiscal Full Year 2024 Business Highlights and Subsequent Developments Financial Highlights "Reflecting on 2024, Citius Oncology has achieved pivotal milestones that underscore our commitment to advancing cancer therapeutics," stated Leonard Mazur , Chairman and CEO of Citius Oncology. "The FDA's approval of LYMPHIR for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma marks a significant advancement in providing new options for patients battling this challenging disease. It is the only targeted systemic therapy approved for CTCL patients since 2018 and the only therapy with a mechanism of action that targets the IL-2 receptor. Additionally, the successful merger forming Citius Oncology, now trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CTOR, strengthens our position in the oncology sector. We expect it to facilitate greater access to capital to fund LYMPHIR's launch and the Company's future growth. With a Phase I investigator-initiated clinical trial combining LYMPHIR with pembrolizumab demonstrating promising preliminary results, indicating potential for enhanced treatment efficacy in recurrent solid tumors, and preliminary results expected from a second investigator trial with CAR-T therapies in 2025, we remain excited about the potential of LYMPHIR as a combination immunotherapy." "These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our team and the trust of our investors. As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission to develop innovative therapies that improve the lives of cancer patients worldwide," added Mazur. FULL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS: Research and Development (R&D) Expenses R&D expenses were $4.9 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $4.2 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The increase reflects development activities completed for the resubmission of the Biologics License Application of LYMPHIR in January 2024 , which were associated with the complete response letter remediation. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses G&A expenses were $8.1 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $5.9 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The increase was primarily due to costs associated with pre-commercial and commercial launch activities of LYMPHIR including market research, marketing, distribution and drug product reimbursement from health plans and payers. Stock-based Compensation Expense For the full year ended September 30, 2024 , stock-based compensation expense was $7.5 million as compared to $2.0 million for the prior year. The primary reason for the $5.5 million increase was due to the amounts being realized over 12 months in the year ended September 30, 2024 , as compared to three months post-plan adoption in the year ended September 30, 2023 . Net loss Net loss was $21.1 million , or ($0.31) per share for the year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to a net loss of $12.7 million , or ($0.19) per share for the year ended September 30, 2023 . The $8.5 million increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase in our operating expenses. About Citius Oncology, Inc. Citius Oncology specialty is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel targeted oncology therapies. In August 2024 , its primary asset, LYMPHIR, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory CTCL who had had at least one prior systemic therapy. Management estimates the initial market for LYMPHIR currently exceeds $400 million , is growing, and is underserved by existing therapies. Robust intellectual property protections that span orphan drug designation, complex technology, trade secrets and pending patents for immuno-oncology use as a combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors would further support Citius Oncology's competitive positioning.
