ISLAMABAD: Turkish state-run aid agency is assisting flood-battered farmers in Pakistan to mitigate a looming threat to food security caused by recent super floods and rains that inundated millions of acres of croplands across the country. Wheat is the main winter crop and a major source of income for millions of farmers across Pakistan. So far, the relief agency has distributed 60 tons of wheat seeds to 700 small-scale farmers in eight worst-affected districts of Sindh, TIKA Karachi Coordinator Halil Ibrahim Basaran told Anadolu Agency. Since the floodwaters have receded, he further said, now seeds and fertilizers are the key requirements of the millions of farmers in the flood-hit areas. The massive floods have caused $30 billion in losses to the nation’s already struggling economy, mainly in infrastructure and agriculture.

An extension for the incumbent army chief, perhaps? Take the example of Imran Khan who has, of late, said that he couldn’t care less who became the next army chief. Hence, arguably the world is not ending; we as a nation are getting better and more democratic. We may not realise this is a part of the nation and institution-building processes, but it is. We might be labouring in a fugue state, but our labours are not futile.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan said on Friday the next army chief should be appointed on merit but expressed his doubt that the incumbent government would do so. “Nawaz Sharif is now going to decide about the army chief’s appointment. Nawaz Sharif was convicted by the JIT [joint investigation team which investigated corruption cases against him], now he will take the country’s decision,” he added. Imran lashed out at Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying that he was facing conviction by courts in the cases filed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Imran accused Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah of extrajudicial killings.

The VoidPhoto credit: Perry Nelson-USA TODAY SportsIt doesn’t matter who Edmonton Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft plugs into the left-wing spot that had been occupied by Evander Kane until Tuesday. How that plays out and who’ll fill the void for anywhere from 17 to 31 games, we don’t know. That said, I don’t mind seeing Woodcroft giving Holloway, who has just 10 NHL games on his resume, a look. SUCK IT UPNov 1, 2022; Edmonton, Alberta, CAN; Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane (91) celebrates after scoring a goal during the first period against the Nashville Predators at Rogers Place. The way I see it, two aspects of the Oilers game can do much to mitigate the loss of Kane.

According to Imran Khan, all eyes are on the top court now as the nation has “lost trust” in the institutions, saying that Pakistan is becoming a banana republic. Imran also hailed Ibtesam – the young man whose quick thinking had saved the former prime minister – for his “heroic effort”. DG ISPR says ‘it’ll be a disrespect to our military’; the military will be disrespected when it fails to take action on the matter,” said Imran. 13 other people were also hurt in the attack, which Khan blames on Prime Minister Sharif and two other government and army officials. Khan accused Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan and an official from the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency and orchestrating the shooting.

SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt: A trickle of climate “loss and damage” funding pledges from rich countries at the COP27 summit in Egypt have been welcomed by observers and developing nations, who say they must pave the way for a broad global financing deal. The controversial issue is a key focus of the UN meeting, as a relentless surge of impacts wreak death, destruction and mounting economic losses on developing nations least responsible for planet-heating emissions. It shows that the issue has been acknowledged after years of advocacy,” said Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at the Climate Action Network. Scotland, which kicked off the loss and damage pledges last year when Britain hosted the COP26 summit, has also upped its contribution to $8 million. It announced $170 million for the project this week, while Ireland said it would contribute $10 million for 2023.

Murray is day to day, Clifford in red, and Jarnkrok is absent: Leafs Practice NotesPhoto credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY SportsThe Leafs are coming out of their OT loss to the Golden Knights feeling okay about how things went, and honestly, I can’t blame them too much. They’ve taken 7 of 8 possible points in the last four games and that includes the Bruins, Canes, and Knights which haven’t been easy outs this season. In addition to the regularly scheduled line rushes the Leafs also have Kyle Clifford present in a red non-contact jersey, and Jordie Benn skating as the 7D. Unfortunately, the PK realities dictate Engvall will probably still be in. The Leafs play the Penguins Friday and the Canucks Saturday.

The recent murder of investigative journalist Arshad Sharif has highlighted the hazards of fighting on internal fronts. While the armed forces were deployed on the borders, the internal fronts were well fortified by the civilians. Almost everyone in those days was fighting on internal fronts. Then the onslaught started to push out the warriors of the internal fronts. The internal warriors like Prof. Hameed Ahmed Khan and Engr Abul Kalam are long gone, having been replaced by incompetent sycophants who have been trained to surrender without a fightUnless the internal frontiers are strengthened, the external areas cannot be fortified.
