Justin Greaves made an unbeaten 64 to steer West Indies to 239-5 at stumps on a rain-shortened opening day of the second and final Test against Pakistan in Trinidad on Sunday. After a match-winning display with the ball in the first Test last week, Greaves displayed what has now become his trademark ease and composure at the crease in a battling knock at Queen’s Park Oval. His only error of judgement came just after reaching the half-century mark when captain Babar Azam put down a straightforwar

What happens when a demographic crisis meets an ever-expanding military-industrial complex?

In China’s arid northwest, local state media in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region are celebrating a surge of rainfall in an area that usually averages 300mm (about 12 inches) per year. The rain belt moving northwards would bring “climate dividends”, the Ningxia Broadcasting News Centre said last month, promising that “loess soil will turn green and farming area will expand”. Reporting on a northward march of the 400mm precipitation line – the vital boundary that separates China’s arid grazing...

Ukraine's General Staff has updated data on Russian losses: Russia lost 1,390 soldiers killed and wounded over the past day.

THESE days we are repeatedly told that the Pakistani state has been soft on anarchy for far too long. This is the considered and stated position of many state officials as well as of many supporters of those in power. Common people may hold any number of positions that one finds distasteful but the same sentiments being voiced by those in power invite both scrutiny and concern. For the last three years, there has been much chatter about turning Pakistan into a ‘hard state’. No one has given an a

AGIOS KONSTANTINOS: North America and Europe have been ravaged by wildfires this summer after a period of record-breaking heatwaves and little rain conditions that scientists say have been exacerbated by climate change. In Greece, two firefighting helicopters collided while helping to control a huge wildfire on Sunday that has destroyed more than 100 homes northwest of Athens, while a fresh blaze forced evacuations on the popular tourist island of Kefalonia. State broadcaster ERT reported that o

“The times, they are a-changin,” is a 1964 iconic song by legendary Bob Dylan. Times have even changed and evolved in the world of work, even in the Pakistani industrial relations ecosystem. Gone are the days when ego-centric labour leaders wielded influence on members, energising them with demagoguery and rabble-rousing. Gone are the days when they would exert their self-generated importance to browbeat and intimidate employers. Within a few years, they faded away in the sunset. They rarely dev

Pakistan is set to import one million tonnes of wheat as the federal government finds strategic reserves insufficient to meet the provinces’ requirements. More surprisingly, Punjab — the country’s only wheat-surplus province — has also sought 1m tonnes. Wheat imports are not unusual for Pakistan.

Pakistan today faces a double-barreled water emergency: first, the drying up of surface storage; and second, the relentless depletion of groundwater resources. The country is frequently cited as facing severe water stress, with an estimated storage capacity of only about 30 days compared with an international benchmark of 120 days. In March 2025, Tarbela and Mangla reservoirs fell to or near dead level, and Sindh faced about a 50 per cent water shortage at the start of the kharif season; the Ind
