How has Iran’s game of drone warfare forced the US to rethink its high-cost defences?

@BelleDuez, Hi! Just sent you an email with a journalistic request. Would really appreciate it if you could take a look when you have a moment.

@SRM_Sherazi @ZoyaAnwerNaqvi Wah, kya baat hai!

Sooooo, my mini-editor @ZoyaAnwerNaqvi suggested that we (humbly, try to) finish what @dieworkwear started.. and decode why Shehbaz Sharif's suit "made it" to his list... Decoding Shehbaz Sharif’s suit that earned a ‘Second Take’ from Derek Guy humenglish.com/latest/decodin…

🇺🇸 What’s it like getting Donald Trump on the phone? AFP’s White House Correspondent Danny Kemp called US President Donald Trump minutes after a cease-fire with Iran was announced. He describes what it’s like calling the person often called the most powerful man in the world.

As an unprecedented war of aggression rocks #Iran, I've recounted my life story for @newlinesmag, growing up in an acutely misrepresented country that remains an indivisible component of our shared global civilization. And I ask, "why have we let it down?" newlinesmag.com/first-person/i…

EXCLUSIVE: Is the Gaza death toll being manipulated? Haaretz took a deep dive into the full list, containing nearly 70,000 names, to test those claims. This is how the list was compiled, organized, and reviewed | @nirhasson haaretz.com/gaza/2026-02-2…

Obituaries for prominent figures are prepared years in advance and in Robert Duvall’s case, was written by a writer who himself died 14 years ago. AP gave him credit - rightfully- in the obit

Imagine not liking cricket.

ISLAMABAD, February 9, 2026. The Honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shehbaz Sharif has been formally briefed by the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mr. Mohsin Naqvi, regarding the outcomes of high-level deliberations held between the PCB, representatives of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The Government of Pakistan has reviewed the formal requests extended to the PCB by the Bangladesh Cricket Board, as well as the supporting communications from Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, and other member nations. These correspondences sought Pakistan’s leadership in securing a viable solution to recent challenges. The Government further noted the statement by BCB President, Mr. Amin ul Islam. The profound gratitude expressed by our brotherly nation is received with great warmth. Pakistan reaffirms that it stands shoulder to shoulder with Bangladesh. This evening, the Prime Minister held a telephone call with H.E. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, President of Sri Lanka. During their warm and friendly conversation, they recalled that Pakistan and Sri Lanka had always stood shoulder to shoulder, especially during challenging times. The Sri Lankan President requested the Prime Minister to accord serious consideration to amicably resolve the current impasse. In view of the outcomes achieved in multilateral discussions, as well as the request of friendly countries, the Government of Pakistan hereby directs the Pakistan National Cricket Team to take the field on February 15, 2026, for its scheduled fixture in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Moreover, this decision has been taken with the aim of protecting the spirit of cricket, and to support the continuity of this global sport in all participating nations. The Prime Minister and the people of Pakistan extend their best wishes to the "Men in Green." We remain confident that our team will carry the spirit of sportsmanship and national pride onto the field as they compete for global glory.

This is why Pakistan decided not to play cricket with India, accusing New Delhi of bringing nationalist politics into the sport for years 🔗trt.world/ck4b
