Trump won’t solve NYC’s migrant problem without a return to law-and-orderHeat seekersMinister of State for Information Technology Shaza Fatima Khawaja acknowledged on Wednesday the challenges vis-a-vis internet speed, but stressed that the government was trying its best to minimise any sort of inconvenience to the users. Speaking in the National Assembly, Khawaja said that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) was an autonomous body under the Cabinet Division. She also acknowledged that the microblogging website of X had been closed because "inappropriate language is used against us" on it. "The X platform was closed by the PTA on the advice of the Interior Ministry and the IT ministry has no concern with it," she said, while replying to supplementary questions during the Question Hour. "X is used by just 2% people in Pakistan," she added. The minister stressed that there was no question of the restrictions on expression or freedom of speech. "If the government was interested in restricting the freedom of speech it would have banned [other] social platforms like Facebook and Tiktok which are more popular and used in Pakistan." Khawaja emphasised that nothing was more important than national security. "Security is a big problem. We have to protect the country from cyber-attacks and data leaks. We cannot compromise on national security; therefore, we have to improve our cyber-security," she told the house. She acknowledged that internet users in Pakistan were facing problems because of "various technical reasons". However, she added, that internet speed had improved by 28% and mobile internet by 24%."On the back of improved internet speed, our IT exports have increased by 34% in last five months. She also addressed the issue of internet closure. Earlier, the internet was shut down in the entire country during Ashura days, but this year the closure was in limited areas due to effective use of the latest technology. She informed the house that the internet speed frequency was 274megahertz (MHz), which had been increased to 550MHz, adding: "We are going to offer 4G and 5G spectrum in April." She said: "We try to minimise inconvenience to the users." The minister stressed that the cabinet stood behind the IT ministry. She also said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had distributed around 1.1 million laptops to ensure process in the digitisation. She also hinted at a policy to introduce smartphones in easy instalments. Forensic agency Meanwhile, the National Forensic Agency Bill 2024 was approved by the National Assembly, after dropping the objections raised by Shazia Marri of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar assured that the government would not oppose if the PPP brought its amendment bill. Tarar said that the bill had been passed by the Senate. He said it was very important to have forensic science techniques in the country, adding that the legislation would establish a forensic science laboratory in the federal capital. Marri said that the bill had certain some shortcomings. She pointed out that the bill stipulated a fine of Rs100,000 and on-year jail term of an official in case of deliberate misuse of authority. The fine should be at least Rs1 million, she suggested. Secondly, she said, the word prime minister was mentioned only at one place, which could create problems in future. She proposed that fines in the bill should be increased to Rs500,000. Later, on Tarar's assurances, the bill was passed.

June Chen Hong Kong opens subscriptions tomorrow for its three-year retail infrastructure bonds, offering a guaranteed minimum rate of 3.5 percent per annum. The offering may divert funds from the fluctuating stock market, said Francis Kwok Sze-chi, the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of Financial Analysts and Professional Commentators. If the return on the bond is better than a time deposit's interest rate, investors may deploy money from the stock market to bonds, he said. Three major banks in the city are offering preferential deposit rates up to 3.3 percent for new funds. Standard Chartered offers a six-month deposit for new funds at 3.1 percent per annum, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation offers a three-month at 3.3 percent and Bank of China Hong Kong (2388) has a three-month deposit at 3 percent. The target size of the retail infrastructure bond is HK$20 billion, with each lot offered at HK$10,000 and a tenor of three years. Interest will be paid semi-annually at a rate linked to inflation in Hong Kong, subject to a minimum of 3.5 percent. Although the airport and silver bonds issued earlier offer higher rates at 4.25 and 4 percent respectively, market watchers view the new bond as attractive, despite the US Fed kicking off its rate cut cycle. In other news, Kuaishou Technology (1024) and New Oriental Education & Technology (9901) will be added to the Hang Seng Index and New World Development (0017) will be excluded for the second time following a quarterly review, effective on December 9. The weights of Kuaishou and New Oriental will be 1.28 and 0.23 percent respectively. The number of members on the benchmark will rise from 82 to 83, with 24 of them from Hong Kong.
Nobody knows exactly what the stock market will do in 2025. But you may be able to stack the odds in your favor by adding the two fintech companies below to your portfolio. Investment sage Warren Buffett owns both of them -- and when it comes to maximizing upside potential, these stocks are some of the best you can consider now. But there are a few risks to be aware of before jumping aboard. So let's dive in and take a closer look at both. Never sell this fintech stock The best investments are the ones you can buy and hold for decades at a time. Nu Holdings ( NU 3.81% ) is one of those investments. There's a strong chance that the company will continue to grow by leaps and bounds for the rest of your lifetime. That's because its business model is structured to take advantage of a long-term opportunity in an area of the world where it faces little competition from other fintech providers. In a nutshell, Nu is a bank. But it's not just any bank. Unlike nearly all of its competitors, Nu operates solely through a smartphone, delivering banking, checking, credit card, debit card, insurance, crypto trading, and a whole host of other financial services. Don't other banks do that same thing? Not in the geography where Nu operates: Latin America. Nu was founded by David Velez, a former employee of Sequoia Capital, one of the most successful venture capital firms in history. When scouting for investment opportunities in the Latin America region, he discovered that the financial services industry was controlled by a handful of stodgy competitors. These banks operated a huge network of costly physical branches, passing on their excess costs to consumers. In response, Velez founded Nu with the goal of offering its services directly through smartphones. This cut out a lot of costs, and those savings were passed onto its customers. There was clearly pent up demand for a company like Nu. Over the past decade, it has gone from essentially zero customers to more than 100 million. With more than 650 million residents, Latin America provides a long runway for growth. Competition will heat up over time, and newer markets may not be as lucrative as Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia -- Nu's first three markets. But this is a company that has a recipe for growth, with a proven record of doing so. Need more proof that Nu is built for the long haul? Warren Buffett has owned more than $1 billion in shares since its initial public offering (IPO). And despite the stock's heavy volatility, he has yet to sell a single share. Shares look pricey at 37 times earnings. But this growth story is just getting started. Warren Buffett also loves this iconic stock Speaking of Warren Buffett , the Oracle of Omaha has another fintech stock in his portfolio that all investors should be taking a closer look at now. This company is one of the most iconic American businesses of all time: Visa ( V 0.01% ) . Visa is the perfect example of a business that benefits from network effects . The more people who use Visa cards, the more valuable the card becomes to merchants. And the more merchants who accept Visa, the more valuable the card becomes for consumers. It's a virtuous cycle that has propelled Visa to a dominant market position. According to data compiled by Statista, the company has 61% market share in the U.S. Just three companies control the remainder of the market -- one of the most concentrated markets you'll find at this scale. Because Visa's business model largely runs off software, it has become incredibly profitable as it has scaled. Profit margins are above 50%, while returns on equity are also around 50%. The valuation, however, is quite cheap at 35 times earnings -- only a small premium to the S&P 500 's valuation. Visa isn't without its challenges. The Department of Justice recently opened a case against the company, charging it with anticompetitive practices. But large credit and debit card operators have dealt with similar legal challenges in the past. None of these challenges have derailed them from their dominant market positions. Does Visa have as much upside potential as Nu? With a $600 billion market cap, likely not. But this is still a wonderful business to own for 2025 and beyond. And besides, betting alongside Buffett is usually a wise move.Israel shares higher at close of trade; TA 35 up 1.02%

Here’s howNew Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS): The Indian Naval Sailing vessel INSV Tarini sailed out from Fremantle, Australia on November 24 for the second leg of the Navika Sagar Parikrama's (NSP-II) expedition to Lyttelton, New Zealand. According to the Indian Navy, Tarini and her intrepid crew were seen off by an enthusiastic crowd cheering for the safe passage to Lyttelton. The voyage will cover 3400 nautical miles (6300 kilometres) in approximately 20 days, and it will see the crew experience varied weather conditions, including frontal weather systems and dropping temperatures. Navika Sagar Parikrama-II, which was flagged off by the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi on October 2, is an Indian Navy expedition undertaking a dual-handed circumnavigation of the earth by two women officers of the Navy onboard 56 ft INSV Tarini. Lt Cdr Dilna K and Lt Cdr Roopa A made a planned stop at Fremantle on November 9 after a 39-day voyage covering 4900 nautical miles under sail, to a warm welcome by Consul General of India in Perth, DA Canberra, officials of the Royal Australian Navy, and members of the Indian diaspora comprising mainly Indian Armed Forces Veterans. At Fremantle and Perth, the crew engaged in various impactful activities showcasing the Indian Navy’s contribution in promoting gender equality and global maritime cooperation while also representing India’s progress in maritime exploration and women’s empowerment. Fostering cultural and historical connections between the two countries and recognising their achievements, the crew were honoured as special invitees at the Western Australia Parliament where they interacted with parliamentarians and also attended a session of the Parliament where a statement was made in the house, acknowledging the expedition and their journey thus far. During the stopover, Tarini underwent checks of all systems and repairs to defects under the supervision of a shore support team from India and stocked up with provisions for the next leg. The crew was briefed by the team mentor, Cdr Abhilash Tomy (Retd) on the passage ahead, who also assessed the boat. Serving as ambassadors of India’s rich maritime heritage, they interacted with the Indian diaspora at a vibrant event coordinated by the Consul General of India in Perth. They also visited the Royal Australian Naval Base HMAS Stirling and the Ocean Reef High School. Sharing their journey and experiences with the students, the crew left a lasting impression on young minds, emphasising the importance of resilience, innovation, and pursuing dreams against challenges. Indian Navy said that Phase II of the expedition will see INSV Tarini cross Cape Leeuwin, the Great Australian Bight, Tasmania and the South Island of New Zealand before calling on at Lyttelton. The voyage will cover 3400 nautical miles (6300 kilometres) in approximately 20 days, and it will see the crew experience varied weather conditions, including frontal weather systems and dropping temperatures.Nasdaq surges above 20,000 after US inflation data matches estimates
Rigetti Computing: Could This Be The Next Quantum Multibagger?Ministers said an extra £15 million will be made available for supply chain businesses and workers affected by changes at Tata’s Port Talbot site in south Wales. Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens said the move means a fund to support businesses across Wales heavily reliant on Tata steel will be increased to £30 million. She also announced that more businesses will be able to apply for the funds, and the value of individual grants is increasing to up to £250,000 for businesses to invest in equipment, property, technology. The Government said there has been “significant demand” on the existing funding, with almost 40 businesses employing 2,000 people having begun the application process. Grants worth millions of pounds are expected to be released in the new year. The increase in funding is in anticipation of more people leaving Tata in early 2025 through the company’s voluntary redundancy scheme. Ms Stevens said: “This Government is acting decisively to support workers and businesses in Port Talbot. “We are doubling the funding available to businesses and workers and widening access to grants to ensure we support as many people as possible. “In just four months we have announced more than £40 million in investment. We said we would back workers and businesses affected by the transition at Port Talbot and we are doing exactly that. “While this remains a very difficult time for Tata workers, their families and the community, we are determined to support workers and businesses in our Welsh steel industry, whatever happens.”
A new study highlights the unexpected ways AI is transforming everyday tasks, focusing on how the technology is helping to make them more efficient and convenient. Research forecasts that 45 percent of grocery shopping activities will be handled by AI within five years. In particular, smart AI integration in retail and homes can reduce food waste by 30 percent through precise demand forecasting and expiration monitoring. The research comes from ZeroBounce , and it reveals how AI quietly helps in everyday tasks. This shows how the technology aligns with the modern home and workspace. Highlights from the research have been extracted by Digital Journal. Grocery Shopping – Smart Grocery Shopping with AI With the power of AI-powered apps , consumers can get tailored grocery lists, price comparisons, and real-time stock updates. For example: • Research shows that AI could reduce grocery prices by up to 20 percent through optimized inventory and logistics. • Within five years, an estimated 45 percent of grocery shopping tasks will be automated, thanks to AI’s ability to predict consumer needs with uncanny accuracy. Dish Washing – Efficient Cleaning Made Easy Modern dishwashers are making household chores smarter by assessing dish types and quantities and then automatically adjusting water temperature, pressure, and cycle duration for the best clean. Trends indicate: • Within the next five years, automation is expected to take over 33 percent of dishwashing tasks, making everyday life more convenient. • The dishwasher industry is projected to reach a revenue of $14.9 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 7.1 percent, driven by the increasing demand for automated home appliances. Cooking – Intelligent Meal Prep AI-driven cooking systems enhance kitchen efficiency and sustainability by helping chefs optimize menu planning, forecast ingredient needs, and reduce food waste. AI can even factor in external conditions, like weather or local events, that might affect ingredient availability or customer demand. In relation to this: • Research shows that integrating AI-based systems to track waste could cut food waste by up to 30 percent within just one year. • 32 percent of cooking tasks are set to be automated in the coming years, making the kitchen much more efficient and user-friendly. Laundry – Smarter Fabric Care The integration of AI in washers and dryers ensures that detergent use and cycle settings are personalized, improving overall laundry care. Washing machine producers (Samsung, LG) state that by tailoring wash parameters to fabric specifics, AI machines ensure more efficient and gentle processes, extending garment life and reducing environmental impact. Smart machines also estimate energy and water consumption, improving efficiency. • Automation is expected to handle 29 percent of laundry tasks in the next five years, making laundry care more convenient and efficient. Pet Care – Simplified Health and Feeding Advanced pet care devices, including smart feeders and activity monitors, are transforming how we care for our pets by automating feeding schedules and tracking health. Research from the American Veterinary Medical Association highlights that more veterinarians are adopting AI tools for diagnostic imaging and managing medical records. • With these innovations, it is projected that 21% of pet care tasks will be automated in the next five years, enhancing both convenience and the quality of care for pets. Commenting on the findings to Digital Journal Liviu Tanase, CEO at ZeroBounce says: “AI is turning everyday chores into effortless experiences—whether it’s grocery shopping tailored to your preferences or dishwashing cycles optimized without a second thought. It’s all about making life easier, freeing up time, and letting people focus on what truly matters. As technology continues to evolve, it’s simplifying routines in ways we never imagined. This transformation is not just about convenience; it’s about redefining how we live and interact with the world around us”.
