Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday thanked the Sharif brothers for their congratulatory messages on him becoming the premier for a third time. Modi was sworn in on Sunday at a ceremony attended by leaders from Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. However, China and Pakistan were not present. Earlier today, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered a brief congratulations to his counterpart on his re-election, almost a week after the results came in. “Felicitations to Narendra Modi on taking oath as the prime minister of India,” he posted on X, in the first official comments from Pakistan. Former PM and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif also congratulated the Indian premier. “Your party’s success in recent elections reflects the confidence of the people in your leadership,” Nawaz said in a post on X. “Let us replace hate with hope and seize the opportunity to shape the destiny of the two billion people of South Asia,” he added. Hours later, PM Modi responded to the two, thanking PM Shehbaz for his “good wishes”. To Nawaz, he said: “Appreciate your message Nawaz Sharif. The people of India have always stood for peace, security and progressive ideas. Advancing the well-being and security of our people shall always remain our priority.” Nawaz had attended the ceremony when Modi became the prime minister for the first time in 2014, a complete rarity in the history of the nuclear-armed nations. But the neighbours currently have minimal relations and ties have worsened during a decade under Modi, who has ramped up his Hindu nationalist agenda. Pakistan suspended bilateral trade and downgraded diplomatic ties with New Delhi in 2019, after Modi revoked the limited autonomy of Indian-held Kashmir in a move widely celebrated across India. PM Shehbaz has previously hinted at wanting to improve ties with India. But analysts say Pakistan, a sixth of the size of India, has few levers to pull. Modi’s “election campaign pivoted around anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan rhetoric”, Zahid Hussain, an opinion writer and author, said in a Dawn op-ed last week. “Modi’s campaign narrative made it absolutely clear that under his dispensation, the Muslims will be politically disempowered, economically marginalised, and deprived of their constitutional rights,” he said following the vote. https://www.dawn.com/news/1839040/pm-modi-responds-in-kind-to-sharif-brothers-felicitations-on-indian-election-success

May’s surprising pace of job growth and wage rise added to the conviction that the Federal Reserve will stay on hold through this summer and possibly beyond. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that nonfarm payrolls increased by 272,000 for the month, considerably higher than the Wall Street consensus of 190,000 and well above April’s comparatively muted gain of 165,000. In addition, average hourly earnings rose 4.1% over the past 12 months, more than expected. Beyond signaling a still-vibrant labor market, the data at the very least adds to the narrative that the Fed doesn’t have to rush to lower interest rates. As inflation runs above the central bank’s 2% target, there’s scant evidence that higher rates are endangering broad metrics of economic growth. “I’ve been a little flummoxed at the parlor game of when will the Fed start cutting,” said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab. “I’ve been more in the camp that neither of the components of the Fed’s dual mandate are pointing to the need to start cutting, and higher-for-longer means nothing could happen this year.” The Fed’s “dual mandate” entails maintaining both full employment and stable prices. Even with the unemployment rate rising to 4% in May, the labor market appears vibrant. However, on the other side of the mandate, inflation is still running well above the Fed’s target. Most gauges have prices rising annually at about a 3% rate, down significantly from the peaks of mid-2022 but still running hot. Lowering expectations Following the jobs numbers, futures traders cut bets on rate cuts. Pricing in fed funds futures pointed to almost no chance of a reduction at either the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting next week or on July 30-31. From there, pricing indicates about a 50-50 chance of a September move, and only about a 46% probability that the Fed will follow up with a second cut before the end of the year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch measure Friday afternoon. All of those probabilities were down sharply from Thursday levels. Investors, though, shouldn’t get too pessimistic, according to Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of global fixed income for money management giant BlackRock. He pointed to softness in demand for workers as shown by a report earlier this week indicating that job openings are continuing to decelerate. Moreover, the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, showed a decrease in employment of 408,000 and a continuing trend of part-time employment far outpacing full-time positions. “And thus, the Federal Reserve’s mandate of price stability and full employment comes very much into balance,” Rieder wrote in a post-report analysis. “With these conditions, the Fed can lower the Fed Funds rate from very restrictive territory to merely restrictive positioning.” “We believe the Committee can still start cutting the policy rate by 25 basis points at its September meeting, with a desire to get one more cut done this year, but inflation readings from here need to be supportive of this,” he added. Similarly, Citigroup, long above consensus on Wall Street as the firm continued to expect aggressive rate cuts, said it now sees the Fed not moving until September but then continuing to cut rates from that point. “The jobs report does not change our view that hiring demand, and the broader economy, is slowing and that this will ultimately provoke the Fed to react with a series of cuts beginning in the next few months,” Citigroup economist Andrew Hollenhorst wrote. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/07/market-backs-off-on-hopes-for-interest-rate-cuts-following-strong-jobs-report.html

After months of planning and fundraising, nearly 300 dogs and cats made it from from Kabul, Afghanistan, to just outside of Washington, D.C. But for many of these animals, getting to the nation's capital was just part of the journey. Early in the morning on June 3, a charter flight with 194 dogs and 100 cats arrived safely at Dulles International Airport after a 7,000-mile journey from Kabul to Katowice, Poland, to Washington, D.C. All the dogs and cats came from the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, which was founded by Charlotte Maxwell Jones in 2018. The operation was small initially, but the size of KSAR ballooned after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. After arriving in the U.S., the dogs and cats were unloaded from heavy wooden crates, given health checks, and then they waited for the next leg of their journey. Maxwell Jones said, "This is like the most stressful three days of their lives, but they're being well cared for." She said Pender Pet Retreat is the only government-affiliated facility in the country that has the capacity to help get nearly 300 animals successfully imported at one time. All the dogs and cats had to be inspected by the CDC before being released. Beyond organizing, planning and fundraising for the charter flight, Maxwell Jones lined up a network of 40 different rescues from around the country to help these dogs and cats find their forever homes. But that also meant coordinating travel to foster homes and rescues.Over the course of a few days, a steady stream of cars, vans and SUVs pulled into the parking lot to help transport dogs or cats to Maine, New York, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota and more. A few of the animals had to take another flight to get to West Coast rescue groups in California and Oregon. A number of rescue groups in the Washington, D.C., area also stepped up to take some of the animals. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Arlington, Virginia, picked up three dogs, and one of them, 8-month-old Adele, already had an adopter lined up before the dogs arrived. Jada Ryan waited over a month to meet her new puppy, and she's so excited to get to know her new fur baby over the next few weeks. Ryan said she was drawn to Adele's story, and the moment they met she said everything felt right. From shelter staff and crate builders in Kabul to volunteers, rescue workers and donors around the world, Maxwell Jones estimates 10,000-15,000 people played a role in making this airlift a success. Once this mission is complete and all the animals have been handed off, Maxwell Jones is heading straight back to Kabul, where the rescue still has over 200 animals to care for. She recognizes the needs of animals here in the U.S., but she hopes any attention to the KSAR rescue flight brings positive attention to other shelters in the U.S. https://www.scrippsnews.com/science-and-tech/animals-and-insects/hundreds-of-rescue-animals-arrive-in-dc-from-afghanistan

We aren't getting a BRZ STI, stop asking. Subaru instead will happily sell you a BRZ with some STI trimmings, like bigger brakes, a better suspension, and upgraded visual cues. The BRZ tS—or, Tuned by STI—isn't the hardcore model we've been begging for for more than 10 years now, but it still does the job well enough. Under the hood is the same 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine found in every BRZ, sending 224 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. No automatic here.Does the tS deserve more power? Of course. Even a titch of extra low-end torque would make the BRZ feel less lethargic at low rpms. Slap a turbo on there, Subaru. But the boxer engine is still a riot to rip up to its 7,000 rpm peak before slamming into second, and it's decently speedy once you get it going. It just takes a minute.But straight-line speed comes second to superb handling. For any of you maniacs who thought the standard BRZ was too soft, the tS has stiffer Hitachi dampers for added composure. The front dampers are variable to help keep the front of the car softer (marginally), while the fixed dampers in the rear ride roughshod over bumps and undulations. It's all part of the charm.The tS is magical in corners. The ride is stiff, sure, but it keeps body roll to a faint whisper and gives the car unparalleled predictability. The chassis is balanced, and the extra grip from the standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires is more than you'll know what to do with. The steering is top tier too, matched only by the Mazda Miata at this price in overall response, feel, and feedback. The bigger brake rotors measure 12.8 inches up front and 12.4 inches in the rear—up 1.2 and 1.0 inches over the base model. They do a better job of bringing the BRZ back down to speed without feeling overly grabby. And the brake calipers are painted gold, a subtle nod to the wheels and accents on previous STI models.The BRZ tS is a driver's car through and through. But it's not terrible as a daily, either. The ride is stiff and it is loud as hell at highway speeds, sure, but Subaru Technica International added some nicer elements to the interior to make it more livable. Extra suede accents dot the dash and door panels, blue accents line the seats, and there are STI logos aplenty (what a tease). It feels like a slight upgrade over the nicest BRZ Limited. The sport bucket seats are hella comfy and have enough bolstering for track days as well as excellent back and butt support. They do a good job of combating the rough ride. The manual adjustments make it hard to find a perfect seating position—not unexpected for a car trying to keep things light—but they are at least heated, which is nice. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/721584/subaru-brz-ts-review/

Left-arm seamer Saurabh Netravalkar, who bowled the winning over, has worked as an engineer for the past six years - according to his LinkedIn profile - alongside playing for the US national team since 2019.Pakistan were "not up to the mark" in their shock T20 World Cup defeat to the USA, with captain Babar Azam adding that his team were guilty of underestimating their opponents. Tournament co-hosts the USA delivered an historic upset with their Super-Over win over 2022 finalists Pakistan on Thursday after both sides finished the match tied on 159."Whenever you come into any tournament, you always do the best preparation," Babar told reporters after his side's defeat. "But you can say it's a kind of mindset, when you come up against a team like this, you relax a little. You take things a little lightly."I believe that we are not up to the mark in executing.

Cancer. The very word evokes fear and uncertainty. Traditionally, it’s been viewed as a disease primarily affecting the elderly. But a disturbing trend is emerging in India: a rise in cancer cases among young adults. Several studies have pointed out the disease is steadily on the rise in young Indians. A 2023 study published in the British Medical Journal (Oncology) conducted across 200 countries, including India, showed we already have a high burden of early onset breast cancer, oesophageal and prostate cancers. It also found a 79 per cent increase in new cases of cancer among those under 50 globally in just 30 years. Dr Pakhee Aggarwal, Senior Consultant Gynaecological Oncology and Robotic Surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, explained that traditionally, cancer risk increases with age due to accumulated DNA damage. However, she highlights a different story for young adults:Lifestyle Choices: The culprit lies in our modern lifestyle. Obesity, a rising epidemic in young Indians, is linked to 15 different cancers. Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption are other significant contributors. Genetics: While less prevalent, a genetic predisposition to cancer can also play a role, affecting 5-10% of young-onset cancers. Ongoing research delves deeper into this area.Dietary Deficiencies: Processed food consumption lacks essential nutrients and antioxidants, further impacting overall health. Why the numbers are concerning The rise of young-onset cancer is alarming for two reasons, according to Dr Aggarwal. Existing screening programs are designed for older po[CENSORED]tions. Young adults might not experience typical symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis, she said. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/health/cancer-young-indians-rising-diet-blame-9373530/

King Charles' family receives good news from a very close relative. It has been reported that the latest series of The Traitors US will feature a royal contestant for the first time, as Lord Ivar Mountbatten has officially been confirmed to join the star-studded lineup.The 61-year-old royal has numerous connections to the royal family, including King Charles, who is Ivar’s second cousin. However, Ivar's close connections extend beyond the monarch. He also shares a strong bond with Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, both of whom are godparents to his daughters. In a similar reciprocal fashion, Ivar proudly serves as the godfather to their daughter, Lady Louise Windsor.Even more interestingly, Ivar also made history back in 2016 when he came out as gay, before going on to become the first member of the royal family to have a same-sex wedding to his now-husband James Coyle in 2018. Prior to revealing his sexuality, Ivar had been married for 17 years to wife Penelope Anne Vere Thompson, however the couple decided to divorce in 2011 but remained good friends - so much so, she even walked him down the aisle at his wedding to James! In addition to his strong family connections, following the death of his own father in April 1970, Ivar previously came to think of the late Prince Philip as a father figure and previously recounted how much the late Duke of Edinburgh had supported him following his father’s demise. Lord Ivar told The Telegraph “Prince Philip, then 49, and Uncle Dickie stepped up and supported my mother, who’d been left a widow aged just 31. She was hugely grateful to the Duke for keeping an eye on her and for being a sort of father figure to us, her two boys.” https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1197925-king-charles-family-receives-good-news-from-close-relative

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 not only sparked international outrage. It also triggered a wave of sanctions designed to weaken the Kremlin’s ability to wage war against its neighbour. Russia’s assets abroad were frozen, its economy cut off from the global financial system, its energy exports targeted. I can remember Western officials and commentators describing the sanctions as “crippling”, “debilitating” and “unprecedented”. With adjectives like these filling the airwaves, the situation seemed clear. There was surely no way that Russia’s economy would withstand the pressures. Faced with the prospect of economic collapse, the Kremlin would be forced to back down and withdraw its troops. Wouldn’t it? Twenty-seven months on, the war rages on. Far from being crippled, Russia’s economy is growing. The International Monetary Fund predicts that Russia will record economic growth of 3.2% this year. Caveats aside, that’s still more than in any of the world’s advanced economies. Reporter Reads: Why is Russia's economy growing despite sanctions? “Debilitating” sanctions have not produced shortages in the shops. Russian supermarket shelves are full. True, rising prices are a problem. And not everything that used to be on sale still is - a string of Western companies exited the Russian market in protest at the invasion of Ukraine. But many of their products still find their way into Russia through a variety of routes. If you look hard enough, you can still find American cola in Russian stores. CEOs from Europe and America may no longer be flocking to Russia’s annual showcase economic event - but the organisers of this year’s St Petersburg International Economic Forum (once referred to as Russia’s Davos) claim that delegates from more than 130 countries and territories are taking part. Instead of folding under the weight of Western sanctions, the Russian economy has been developing new markets in the East and the Global South. All of which allows Russian officials to boast that attempts to isolate Russia, politically and economically, have not succeeded. “It looks like the Russian economy managed to adjust to very unfavourable external conditions,” says Yevgeny Nadorshin, senior economist at PF Capital. ”Without any doubt sanctions broke a lot in the mechanism of operation inside the economy. But a lot has been restored. Adaptation is happening.” Workaround Does this mean that sanctions have failed? “The big issue was our understanding of what sanctions can and cannot do,” says Elina Ribakova, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “It’s not like flipping a switch and Russia disappears. What sanctions can do is to throw a country off balance temporarily until it finds the way to work around the sanctions, until it finds alternative ways to get shipments, or sell its oil. We’re exactly in that space where Russia has found a workaround.” Moscow has redirected its oil exports from Europe to China and India. In December 2022, G7 and EU leaders introduced a price cap plan aimed at limiting the revenue Russia earns from its oil exports, by trying to keep it below $60 a barrel. But Western experts concede that Russia has been able to circumvent this quite easily.The story of the price cap highlights a dilemma for the US and its partners. Recognising that Russia is one of the largest players on the global energy market, they have tried to keep Russian oil flowing to avoid hiking energy prices. The result of that is that Moscow is still making money. “In a way, we refused to properly sanction Russian oil,” Elina Ribakova concludes. “This price cap is an attempt to have our cake and eat it. The priorities are to allow Russian oil on to the market and to reduce Russia’s revenue. And when these two priorities conflict, unfortunately the first one wins. That allows Russia to raise a lot of revenues and continue with the war.” Russia has become China’s biggest supplier of oil. But Beijing’s importance for Moscow extends far beyond energy exports. China has become a lifeline for the Russian economy. Trade between the two countries hit a record $240bn (£188bn) last year. Walk around St Petersburg or Moscow and you don’t need to be an expert in economics to understand how important China has become to a sanctions-hit Russia. Electronics shops here are full of Chinese tablets, gadgets and mobile phones. Chinese car dealers now dominate the local car market. Not that the Russian automobile industry is sitting twiddling its thumbs. At a business expo recently in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was shown the brand new version of a classic Russian brand, the Volga. There was just one thing - the new Volga is based on a Chinese car, the Changan. “Where was this steering wheel made? Is it Chinese?” enquired the prime minister, apparently irritated by the lack of Russian components. “We want [the wheel] to be Russian,” he said. Ultimately, however, it is not the automobile industry that is driving Russia’s economic growth. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nn7pej9jyo

From animal lovers to laboratory technicians, no-one enjoys subjecting animals to scientific testing. It is instead done to help ensure that drugs and other substances are safe for eventual human use. Researchers have long sought non-animal alternatives. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now accelerating this work. One application of AI in this field is simple but said to be proving effective – using it to trawl through all the existing and available global animal testing results to prevent the need for unnecessary new tests. This is useful because it can be difficult for scientists to sift through decades of data to find and analyse exactly what they are after, says Joseph Manuppello, a senior research analyst at the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine, a US non-profit. “I’m very excited about the application of AI models like ChatGPT to extract and synthesise all of this available data, and getting the most out of it,” he says. Thomas Hartung is a toxicology professor at Johns Hopkins University in the US, and also the director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing. He says: “AI is as good as a human, or better, at extracting information from scientific papers.” When it comes to current animal testing, Prof Hartung says that the need to check new chemicals is one of the primary reasons. And with more than 1,000 such new compounds entering the market every year there are a lot to be tested. Prof Hartung says trained AI systems are beginning to be able to determine a new chemical’s toxicity. “Having tools available where we can press a button, and we get a preliminary assessment, which is giving us some flags of ‘here’s a problem’… will be enormously helpful.” Prof Hartung adds that while software systems have long been used in toxicology, AI is providing an “enormous leap forward” in both power and accuracy. “This is suddenly creating opportunities that were not there before,” he says, adding that AI is now involved in every stage of toxicity testing. AI is even being used to create new drugs in the first place.AI systems aren’t perfect at determining chemical safety of course. One problem is the phenomenon known as data bias. One example of this is if an AI system and its algorithm have been trained using health data predominantly from one ethnic group. The risk is that its calculations or conclusions may not be entirely suitable for people from another ethnic background. But as Prof Hartung points out, testing human drugs on animals can sometimes be of little use. For example, arthritis medicine Vioxx passed the animal testing stage, only to then go on and ultimately be withdrawn from sale after studies showed that long-term usage by humans led to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. On the other hand, some widely used medicines would have failed in animal tests, such as painkiller aspirin, which is toxic to rat embryos. Prof Hartung concludes that in a number of cases AI is already proving to be more accurate than animal testing. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd110l61r3go
