Wild battle back to win in a shootout vs. Rangers
After hitting the post, Boldy's shot crashed into the back of unsuspecting Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick and rolled into the net. One split save from goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury later, and the Wild secured a much-needed but also well-deserved 5-4 shootout victory on Saturday at Xcel Energy Center to end their four-game slide. On their own streak, albeit the six straight win variety, New York arrived as advertised and established control quickly in the first period. That chased goaltender Filip Gustavsson from the game; he left after making just one stop on four shots, and Fleury took over in relief. Even after the Rangers answered back on a Chris Kreider deflection at 6:40, the Wild didn't look defeated.

Countering Terror
Responding, limiting, and retaliating the attack on Mianwali Training Air Base by the Pakistan Army is a testament to the dedicated counter-terrorism capability of the armed forces. While the attack was successfully handled and attackers neutralised, the responsibility claim for the attack coming from a newly emerged militant group underscores the penetrability of Pakistan’s terrorism problem. The bravery of the martyrs has been equally regarded and paid tribute to by citizens, political parties, and the caretaker government. The Mianwali attack, however, was a stark reminder that the anti-terror combat is far from over and it will take more to fully heal this bleeding wound. The challenge of violent extremism is real and must also make it to the manifestos of political parties taking part in upcoming general elections.

Fiorentina fans will boycott the Juventus game due to flooding
Last time Juventus came to Florence for the Coppa Italia in 2022, the Curva Fiesole responded with one of the most incredible displays we’ve ever seen. As Juve return tomorrow, though, there won’t be a sequel in the stands, because the Curva won’t be in attendance. It’s also not an exaggeration to say that the Curva’s efforts to help those affected by the disaster aren’t merely lip service. Perhaps that would be for the best, although more rain is the last thing those thousands of people affected by the flooding want. But with the area overwhelmed by floods, a soccer game ought to be the last thing on anyone’s mind.

E-Bike Revolution
Electric bicycles offer a cost-effective means of transportation, making them ideal for daily commutes and potentially reducing the reliance on public transport. The Electric Vehicle Policy for 2020-2025 is a crucial component of Pakistan’s ambitions, providing incentives and tax exemptions for the local production of electric vehicles. However, the journey towards widespread electric vehicle adoption is not without its challenges. To encourage electric vehicle adoption, consumers require the assurance of accessible charging infrastructure, ideally available nearby. Additionally, concerns persist regarding the availability of spare parts and the expertise needed for repair and maintenance in the emerging electric vehicle market.
