Didn't think @PeshawarZalmi would so utterly dominate this year's #HBLPSL. They have been exceptional batting first or second. On the other hand @KarachiKingsARY @thepindiz and @HHKingsmen have gone the way expected. It all started with terrible squad selection for them.

Viktor Orban has conceded defeated after being in power for 16 years. No rigging. No drama. Just acceptance of the will of the people and graciousness in defeat. Shocking!

Celebrations broke out across Budapest after opposition leader Peter Magyar defeated long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orban, ending his 16-year rule.

The interesting thing about this is what would the U.S. Navy really interdict a Chinese vessel on the high seas?
What if China decides to deploy its naval warships to escort its vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian oil?
What will CENTCOM/Trump do then?
The STRATCOM Bureau@OSPSF
So CENTCOM has clarified on U.S. President Trump's rather 'incomplete' statement on blockading the Strait of Hormuz. Here's how the U.S. Navy will implement the blockade and it's rules: 1. The U.S. Navy will interdict and blockade all vessels of any nation entering and exiting Iranian ports, coastal areas and territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Arabian Gulf. 2. The U.S. Navy will also interdict any and all vessels in International Waters that have paid a toll to Iran.

Speaking of zardari and assets abroad, the rockwood estate and the Swiss accounts are two helpful trips down memory lane.
Zardari post second round in government:
Denies the Rockwood estate (Surrey mansion) after spending millions of pounds on refurbishing it, filled with hundred thousand pound chandeliers that he decried as being unthinkable for a leader from a poor country.
Then when it was about to be auctioned; zardari decided it was his after all and launched a claim to the asset from jail. He explained his earlier denial of ownership on medical ailments and sought a stay of sale proceedings.
During his second tenure, he was involved in the procurement of a digitisation project for the customs and ports. The companies that bid to win were SGS and cotecna. It was alleged that these companies paid hefty bribes to zardari to win the computerisation contracts. These led to prosecutions of the principals in Switzerland.
Zardari was Convicted in Switzerland for graft related to these contracts. Accounts related to him containing 60 million dollars in Switzerland were frozen.
Zardari then applied for access to these 60 million dollars once the freeze on the graft related account was lifted ONLY because Zardari’s legal team presented the NRO law to the Swiss court and argued that thievery was no longer a crime in that period in Pakistan.
As president in his first term, Once the NRO was declared void ab initio, Zardari’s pppp led government ignored SC directions to write to the Swiss asking for a revisit of that earlier NRO based acquittal.
The PPP Sacrificed a Prime Minister to prevent the writing of the letter. That prime minister was later rewarded with a return to the senate and tickets for his family.
Meanwhile, the court record of the entire Swiss proceedings were then taken from the Pakistani consulate in Switzerland. The person overseeing the taking of the record was then Pakistani consul general in the United Kingdom, wajid shamsul Hasan. Geo’s Murtuza from london was present there for the removal and asked wajid sb on camera what he was upto and the latter refused to offer any replies whilst smoking cigars on the sidewalk.
Jeeay Bhutto.

My father does not even have a bank account abroad - he is one of the very few leaders of this world whose entire assets & wealth are very proudly invested in his homeland.

I hate to quote Margaret Thatcher but this one is quite fitting: "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

The UAE will show the world what strength is made of. The UAE will show the EU and NATO how to be brave. The UAE will make sure the Islamic regime in Iran never, ever targets us again. Never again. We lead. We protect. We win. And the Middle East moves forward without Islamist terrorists.

This is the highest successful chase in T20 history without a single batter scoring a fifty. It is a great example of how modern T20 cricket values quick, impactful contributions across the lineup more than traditional milestones like 50s or 100s.

James Tolkan has died at 94. "Son, your ego's writing checks your body can't cash." - Top Gun (1986) This scene is a masterclass in movie shorthand. In seconds you get Maverick’s attitude, his history, how he flies, and the entire setup. And Tolkan absolutely nails it.

@FootballPak The world has seen everything in the last few months. The only thing that won't happen is a football league in Pakistan. Jo karna hai kar lo.

Nearly a year on from this announcement and still nothing from DFA Lahore.
So many districts could've started district leagues but just don't seem interested.

DFA Lahore announces a Lahore District Football League. This is something every District FA across Pakistan should be doing if they really want to 'promote football' footballpakistan.com/2025/04/dfa-la…
