TRENTO - Scientists have for the first time discovered a cave on the Moon. When you make these discoveries and you look at these images, you realise you’re the first person in the history of humanity to see it,” Prof Carrer said. Once Prof Bruzzone and Prof Carrer understood how big the cave was, they realised it could be a good spot for a lunar base. “After all, life on Earth began in caves, so it makes sense that humans could live inside them on the Moon,” says Prof Carrer. The Moon cave might be useful to humans, but the scientists also stress that it could help answer fundamental questions about the history of the Moon, and even our solar system.

ANALYSING the recently-held general elections in India, our parliamentarians must learn from the opposition leader in India. Undoubtedly, Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, deserves acclaim for being a parliamentarian who kept the national interest above all personal propensities and proclivities. However, our own parliamentarians failed to find common ground, which in itself was an insult to national pride and sovereignty. Our parliamentarians should take a cue from Rahul Gandhi, who has assured everyone that his party would prioritise matters of public interest in parliament. By creating unnecessary hindrances in the smooth functioning of legislation and state’s affairs, Pakistani parliamentarians are only acting in their own vested interests, not the national interest.

French centrist Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government resigned on Tuesday, but will stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is appointed following an inconclusive snap election. Its role will include making sure that the Olympics, that start on July 26, run smoothly. There have been caretaker governments before in France, but none has ever stayed on for more than a few days. "Never before has the election of the president of the assembly held such a political significance," Eurointelligence analysts said. After it failed to win an absolute majority, years of tensions between the parties have resurfaced over who could run a possible left-wing government.

Earlier in February this year, the Indian general election is a powerful testament to this reformist wave sweeping the nation. This reformist wave not only challenges the BJP’s dominance but also reaffirms the Indian electorate’s commitment to democratic principles and social harmony. Later in July, reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran’s presidential election, symbolizing a resurgence of the reformist wave. The reformist victory in Iran signals a potential shift in the country’s approach to both domestic and international issues, embodying the broader aspirations of the reformist wave. This reformist wave of 2024 is not confined to a few isolated cases but represents a broader global trend toward political renewal and reform.

Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has lifted the ban on green meters used in solar systems. According to sources, LESCO has issued the notification to lift the ban on green meters for solar systems. The notification said consumers will be given a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for bi-directional green meters for solar systems. It is noteworthy to mention that LESCO had ordered the installation of AMI meters instead of green meters starting from July 1, 2024. Due to a shortage of stock at meter manufacturing companies, the supply of meters had become impossible, so now the government has lifted the ban on green meters.

Over the years, the global political and economic system has undergone seismic transformations. International political order went from a bipolar configuration between 1945 and 1989 to a unipolar alignment between 1989 and 2008, before entering what we today call intricate multipolarity. This colossal paradigm shift in global geopolitics is initiating new concepts and political structures that have far-reaching consequences on regional and global political landscapes. The ‘multipolarity’ has become an inescapable concept for understanding modern international political dynamics. And through aforementioned steps, we will be able to build a paradigm of ‘win-win’ cooperation and lead toward a democratic, non-discriminatory, and just global order.

Matt Walsh responds to backlash over Amber Rose RNC commentsWalsh defends his criticism of the RNC's decision to give a pro-abortion advocate a primetime speaking slot.

It was time to make such a decision that could serve as a lesson for the times to come. The government will not make a decision and have it put into effect across the nation that same evening. The political party will thereafter be outlawed. When the Full Court has just said in its recent judgment that PTI is a political party (emphasis added) and it should be given reserved seats? Reasonableness and performance cannot overcome the PTI narrative.

KIGALI - Millions of Rwandans voted in presidential and parliamentary elections on Monday, with the African nation’s leader Paul Kagame widely expected to cruise to victory and extend his iron-fisted rule for another five years. With 65 percent of the population aged under 30, Kagame -- who is running for a fourth term -- is the only leader most Rwandans have ever known. He has overseen controversial constitutional amendments that shortened presidential terms from seven to five years and reset the clock for the Rwandan leader, allowing him to potentially rule until 2034. The election commission also barred high-profile Kagame critic Diane Rwigara, citing issues with her paperwork -- the second time she was excluded from running. The red, white and blue colours of the RPF and its slogans “Tora Kagame Paul” (“Vote Paul Kagame”) and “PK24” “Paul Kagame 2024”) are everywhere.
