Surveillance tech advances by Biden could aid in Trump's promised crackdown on immigrationGovt completes SEZs survey, eyes enhanced investment Abdul Aleem Khan announced series of reforms aimed at making SEZs more attractive to investors A view of plan of Rashakai Special Economic Zone.— APP/file ISLAMABAD: The government has successfully completed a comprehensive survey of Pakistan’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), utilising aerial and drone technology to provide a detailed assessment of resources and challenges within these industrial hubs. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); The survey, which marks a significant step in identifying opportunities for economic growth, offers valuable insights into the current state of SEZs and lays the groundwork for future reforms to attract investment and enhance industrial development across the country. Currently, Pakistan hosts 21 notified SEZs across the country, each designed to attract a range of investment opportunities. Notable hubs include Bin Qasim Industrial Park, Korangi Creek Industrial Park, and Khairpur SEZ in Sindh; Hattar SEZ in Haripur and Rashakai SEZ in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as M3 Industrial City, Value Addition City and Quaid-e-Azam Business Park in Punjab. Additional SEZs are also located in Punjab, Balochistan and Islamabad with the National Science and Technology Park, providing ample development prospects. On Wednesday, the findings were presented during a high-level meeting chaired by Federal Minister for Board of Investment, Privatization, and Communications Abdul Aleem Khan. Khan announced a series of reforms aimed at making SEZs more attractive to investors. The minister highlighted that approximately 150 reforms are being introduced, focusing on environmentally friendly practices and aligning investments with the “Green Pakistan” initiative. “Our aim is to ensure the relocation of industries from China into these SEZs as a priority,” said Aleem Khan. He also emphasized the need to attract investment from other countries, stating, “We are encouraging nations beyond China to explore and invest in Pakistan’s industrial zones.” Aleem Khan announced plans to enhance connectivity between SEZs, particularly linking Karachi’s industrial zones to Port Qasim, to streamline operations and exports. He directed the Board of Investment (BOI) to ensure the availability of one-window facilities and robust security measures for investors. To further bolster foreign investments, the minister instructed Pakistani embassies abroad to strengthen communication with potential investors. He also proposed forming a group of foreign investors called the “Pride of Pakistan” to recognize their contributions. Additionally, he recommended arranging a meeting between these investors and Prime Minister to reinforce confidence in Pakistan’s economic prospects.None
NoneAn upcoming version of the Apple Vision Pro headset could be equipped with a custom-designed Apple modem chip, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . In a report on Apple's plans for its in-house modem, Gurman said that Apple is "discussing" bringing cellular support to future Vision Pro models. An Apple-designed modem chip is set to debut in 2025 iPhone SE , low-cost iPad , and iPhone 17 "Air" models, and from there, Apple will iterate on the design and expand the technology to other devices. The first version of the modem chip will only have slower sub-6GHz 5G connectivity, but a second-generation model will support the faster mmWave 5G speeds, and a third-generation version in 2027 could match or exceed Qualcomm technology. The first 5G chip from Apple isn't likely to be used in a Vision Pro headset, but the second-generation or third-generation versions could be integrated into the Vision Pro, and also future Macs . Further in the future, Apple could also add its custom modem chip to augmented reality glasses, but that product is still several years away. Apple's ultimate goal is to phase out Qualcomm 5G modem chips, replacing them with its own modem chips. Because cellular connectivity is integral to the iPhone , Apple plans to test its modem technology in lower volume, lower cost products to start with. The first version of the modem chip is smaller and more integrated with other components that are designed by Apple, but it is not as advanced as Qualcomm's 5G modem chips. Apple modem chips coming in 2026 and 2027 will be more advanced, and eventually, Apple could merge its A-series and M-series with its custom modem chips, developing a single component that would be integrated into its products. A second-generation Vision Pro headset could launch as early as 2025, with Apple adding an M5 chip but few design changes, but rumors on the future of the Vision Pro have been unclear with some sources pointing toward a Vision Pro 2, and others suggesting Apple wants to focus on a lower-cost model. Apple is said to be developing a lower-cost version of the Vision Pro that uses more affordable components, and Gurman has said it could come as soon as 2025 . Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo does not believe that a cheaper Vision Pro will come out until after 2027, however. It is not clear when the Vision Pro could get 5G technology.Vikings special teams coordinator Matt Daniels knows he can only hold on to young players who are developing as part of his unit for so long. Rookie linebacker Bo Richter is one Daniels is cherishing while he can. “He continues to excel in his role,” Daniels said Tuesday at TCO Performance Center. “Surely enough, this is usually how it goes. You just keep dominating, keep having an impact on special teams, and surely enough you’ll mature and ‘Coach Hat’ [Daniels’ nickname] will be sending you on your way to go do bigger and better things on defense. “And that’s where he’s heading.” Richter, a undrafted free agent signing out of Air Force, made one of a pair of standout positive special teams plays for the Vikings in their overtime win against the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field. Those plays were negated by the Bears late in an 11-point comeback to tie the score in the final seconds of regulation. Richter, who the Vikings signed as an undrafted free agent this spring, fell on a muffed punt recovery in the third quarter to set up a five-play, 15-yard scoring drive. Chicago return man DeAndre Carter waved for teammates to move out of the way but was struck by the ball himself, allowing Richter to recover it and the Vikings to regain possession. The Vikings had two other punt recoveries off muffs earlier this season that led to no points. “I was just finally glad that we finally got a muffed punt,” Daniels said. “I was just praying and hoping that ball didn’t roll out of bounds. It was good for him to get on that.” Earlier, in the second quarter, Vikings defensive lineman Jerry Tillery blocked a 48-yard field-goal attempt by Cairo Santos. Brian Asamoah recovered and returned it 22 yards. Daniels said blocking field goals has been a post-practice emphasis in recent weeks, and he felt the line quickly got off the ball and was able to penetrate deep into the Bears backfield, making it easier for Tillery to get a hand on the ball. The special teams success dwindled late in the game, with the Vikings giving up two big plays on kickoffs to hand Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and company prime field position to tie the score. Carter made up for his earlier mistake with a 55-yard kickoff return that kick-started the Bears’ comeback. Daniels said the intent was for Parker Romo to boot the ball into or out of the end zone on the kickoff, but Romo slightly toeing it into shifting winds hung up the ball. Carter caught it inside the 5-yard line, took off just outside the left hash and shook off four defenders before being brought down by outside linebacker Dallas Turner at the Vikings’ 40-yard line. “At the end of the day, we just gotta do a great job of defeating blocks,” Daniels said. “That’s what it boils down to, and that starts with me making sure I’m emphasizing it during the week.” Then, after the Bears scored eight plays later and added a two-point conversion to make the score 27-24 with 29 seconds left, an onside kick by Santos hit the back of tight end Johnny Mundt’s foot and the Bears recovered. Santos’ 48-yard field goal as time expired sent the game to overtime. Some redemption for the special teams unit came when Romo nailed a 29-yard field goal to win the game in overtime; long snapper Jake McQuaide made sure to retrieve the winning ball for Romo amid the celebration. Daniels pointed out that Romo, who the Vikings signed Nov. 5 when starting kicker Will Reichard moved to injury reserve because of a quad injury, has been tested in his first few weeks of NFL action. “This is gonna be the first time he actually gets to hit indoors,” Daniels said of Sunday’s game against the Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium. “He’s hit basically three outside road games.”PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge has ordered an Alabama city to allow an LGBTQ+ pride group to participate in the city's Christmas parade on Friday, after the mayor initially blocked the group from the annual event citing unspecified “safety concerns.” U.S. District Judge R. Austin Huffaker Jr. ruled that the City of Prattville violated Prattville Pride's First Amendment right to free speech and 14th Amendment right to equal protection under the law when it banned the group from running a float in the annual Christmas parade one day before the event was set to take place. “The City removed Prattville Pride from the parade based on its belief that certain members of the public who oppose Prattville Pride, and what is stands for, would react in a disruptive way. But discrimination based on a message’s content 'cannot be tolerated under the First Amendment,' ” Huffaker wrote in his opinion. The ruling required the city to provide at least two police officers to escort the float throughout the parade. On Thursday, Prattville Pride requested additional security measures from law enforcement. In response, Mayor Bill Gillespie Jr released a statement banning the group from the parade altogether, citing “serious safety concerns.” Huffaker's ruling said that, leading up to the event, some community members “voiced vehement opposition” to the group's inclusion in the parade, but that “the City has presented no evidence of legitimate, true threats of physical violence.” Gillespie's office referred to a statement posted on the city's social media in response to a request for comment. “The City respects the ruling of the Court and will comply with its order. The safety of everyone involved with the parade is a priority,” city officials said in a statement on social media. Prattville Pride celebrated the ruling on social media. “The Christmas parade is a cherished holiday tradition, and we are excited to celebrate alongside our neighbors and friends in the spirit of love, joy, and unity," the group wrote. Prattville is a small city of about 40,000 people, just north of the capital of Montgomery.

US billionaire Elon Musk backed Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) in a guest opinion piece for Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper published online that prompted the commentary editor to resign in protest. In the commentary, published in German by the flagship paper of the Axel Springer media group, Musk expanded on his post on social media platform X last week claiming that "only the AfD can save Germany." "The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party's leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!" Musk said in the piece. Germany's domestic intelligence agency has classified the AfD at the national level as a suspected extremism case since 2021. Shortly after the piece was published online, the editor of the opinion section, Eva Marie Kogel, wrote on X that she had submitted her resignation, with a link to the commentary. "Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression. This includes dealing with polarising positions and classifying them journalistically," the newspaper's editor-in-chief designate Jan Philipp Burgard and Ulf Poschardt, who takes over as publisher on January 1, told Reuters. They said discussion about Musk's piece, which had around 340 comments several hours after it was published, was "very revealing." Underneath Musk's commentary, the newspaper published a response by Burgard. "Musk's diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally false," he wrote, referencing the AfD's desire to leave the European Union and seek rapprochement with Russia as well as appease China. The AfD backing from Musk, who also defended his right to weigh in on German politics due to his "significant investments", comes as Germans are set to vote on February 23 after a coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed. The AfD is running second in opinion polls and might be able to thwart either a centre-right or centre-left majority, but Germany's mainstream, more centrist parties have pledged to shun any support from the AfD at national level.U.S. Gold Corp.

A Scottish council has been accused by of honouring the death of a notoriously prisoner by flying a flag above its headquarters. Edinburgh City Council flew the pink, blue and white-striped flag above the city chambers on Wednesday to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance. In a message posted on X, formerly Twitter, the local authority said it was a “day to remember people who have lost their lives in acts of transgender violence”. Feminist campaigners said the only Scot included in the official list of those being , who was one of the UK’s most violent inmates before the 32-year-old’s death earlier this year. Scott, who was previously known as Andrew Burns, had been convicted of a , including stalking a 13-year-old girl from behind bars by sending letters. The criminal came out as transgender in 2016 but is understood never to have begun any physical transitioning nor to have possessed a gender recognition certificate. on Feb 29 after becoming unwell in HMP Grampian. The row was triggered by the city council posting a picture of the transgender pride flag flying above the city chambers to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance. JK Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, took to social media to criticise the council’s decision to fly the flag and responded to the disclosure that Scott was being commemorated by stating: “You have to be f---ing kidding me.” She said: “Really looking forward to the day a flag is flown for Scottish victims of femicide, but sure, let’s hear the list of trans people who’ve been murdered in Scotland. Ever.” Questions were also raised about Scott’s inclusion on an international list of people being commemorated for TDOR as there had been no suggestion that the criminal’s death was linked to transphobia. For Women Scotland (FWS), a feminist campaign group that led opposition to Nicola Sturgeon’s self-ID gender reforms, posted: “So Edinburgh City Council flew a flag for this violent man? Who made that decision?” Marion Calder, a FWS director, said: “It’s absolutely ridiculous for Edinburgh Council to raise this flag. It’s virtue signalling for one of the most dangerous prisoners that Scotland has ever had.” FWS replied to the Harry Potter author’s post, saying: “It’s even more sickening when you see the only name on the list who hails from Scotland.” This linked to a thread from another account that examined TDOR and warned that the commemoration day “isn’t quite what it seems”. It highlighted Scott’s name on the list and the criminal’s history of “serious violence against numerous women and stalking of a 13-year-old girl”. When Scott died earlier this year, the criminal was serving an indefinite sentence under an order for lifelong restriction and had been described as one of the most “menacing people” in the Scottish prison system. Scott had been deemed an “unmanageable risk to public safety” and could only ever have been released if it was decided this was no longer the case. The convict had attacked a nurse in Cheshire in 2010 and committed a series of other offences while in custody. These included attacking a prison nurse with a chair, punching and attempting to bite prison officers, smearing excrement in a cell and ripping up “tear-proof” clothing in a suicide attempt. During a court appearance last year, Scott had to be accompanied by seven guards when appearing to face assault charges. Despite a long history of violence, a move to a women’s facility was said to have been approved. But the move was halted following the public backlash over trans rapist Isla Bryson being initially sent to a female prison. A city council spokesman said: “We’re extremely proud to be one of the friendliest and most diverse cities in the world. Everyone is welcome to make Edinburgh their home and to live their lives with dignity and free from prejudice. “Councillors agreed to support the Day of Remembrance in 2019, and we continue to fly the flag annually above the City Chambers to remember those who have lost their lives to transgender violence.”The decision by Tesco, Musgrave and the BWG Group came after a woman who said Mr McGregor raped her won a civil claim for damages against him. Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in the Irish capital. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: “Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.” The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. A Tesco spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we are removing Proper No Twelve Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online.” A spokesperson for BWG Group said: “The products are no longer listed for distribution across our network of Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, including Appleby Westward which operates over 300 Spar stores in the south west of England.” It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. He and some of his business partners sold their majority stake in the Proper Number Twelve Irish whiskey brand. He was reported to have been paid more than £103 million from the sale to Proximo Spirits in 2021. On Monday, a popular video game developer decided to pull content featuring the MMA fighter. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. IO Interactive, the Danish developer and publisher of Hitman, said in a statement: “In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. “We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. “Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.” Last Friday, the High Court jury awarded damages amounting to 248,603.60 euros (around £206,000) to Ms Hand. Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intended to appeal against the decision.

U.S. District Judge R.

The ruling required the city to provide at least two police officers to escort the float throughout the parade. On Thursday, Prattville Pride requested additional security measures from law enforcement.

Prattville is a small city of about 40,000 people, just north of the capital of Montgomery.A traveler took to social media to discuss why fellow passengers aboard flights are not properly discarding their trash — and shared a way to fix the problem. Posted in the “r/ SouthwestAirlines ” forum, the note was titled, “Favorite trick for people that put trash in seatback pockets.” The user said he or she witnessed an “alarming amount of people” not handing their trash to the flight attendants for collection prior to the plane’s landing. “While we are waiting to disembark, I will mention, ‘Hey, I think you left your AirPods in the setback pocket,’ which forces them to acknowledge the trash,” the person wrote. The user added, “The 4 times I’ve done this, 2 times they took the trash, one time the guy said, ‘I don’t own AirPods,’ and the last guy said it wasn’t his job.” “Just a suggestion that has a 50% success rate thus far,” the post said. Fox News Digital reached out to Southwest Airlines for thoughts. Users took to the comments section of the post to discuss the issue. “They need to pass a trash collection around like they do the money collection at church – for the same reason. Guilt people into filling it up as it passes by. Problem solved,” suggested one person. “There will always be idiots/morons/low-lifes that just do not care,” said another. That same person added, “Often [it’s] the same folks that will complain when they board and find trash that was missed.” One Redditor commented, “Not me, but someone I worked with ... Coming through to collect trash, guy has a bunch of newspapers in the seatback pocket. ‘Hey, is that trash, or are you going to keep it?’ Him: ‘I’ll keep it.’ “Well, we land, guy walks off leaving the newspaper,” the person added. Continuing the story, the user wrote, “FA [flight attendant], now tidying the plane, sees this, grabs it all, runs up the jetway and through the terminal, screaming, ‘YOU FORGOT YOUR NEWSPAPER!! YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO KEEP IT, IT MUST BE IMPORTANT TO YOU!!’ until she caught up to the guy and gave him back his paper.'” “Passive-aggressive communication at its finest,” one user said. Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” told Fox News Digital that often trash is scattered in the seat pockets and left on the floor. “Increasingly, carriers spend little time cleaning up between flights . They don’t schedule planes with enough time on the ground to do it — and when a flight runs late it’s one of the first things that gets cut,” said Leff. It’s important, he noted, that passengers at least pass their trash to flight attendants as they come down the aisle to collect it. “Cleaning up after yourself is a basic starting point for civil society,” said Leff. “You need to do it at your seat on a plane, as long as the airline makes it reasonably easy, coming down the aisle with a bag to collect trash and giving you enough time to gather it — and you need to do it in the movie theater, too,” said Leff. “Don’t just abandon those popcorn bags on the floor,” Leff added. “Carry them to the bins by the exit. It’s only a few feet.”
