Why are the police trying to arrest Imran Khan?

Image
  Police in Pakistan have, for days, been trying to   arrest  the country's former Prime Minister,   Imran Khan.   On Tuesday, the police showed up at Khan's Lahore residence - 2, Zaman Park - but were met with resistance from hundreds of his supporters. Police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd. The protesters, in return, pelted the police with stones and broken bottles. The police also tried clearing the makeshift tents that have sprung up around Khan's residence in the past few months. What was Imran Khan's response? In a video message released on social media by his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khan said that Pakistan's government had planned his  arrest  and it was a part of the "London plan" to finish all cases against Nawaz Sharif. Khan also asked his supporters to "stand up" for their rights and continue the struggle even if he was killed or arrested. "They think that after my arrest, the nation will fall...

Why regulators seized Signature Bank in third-biggest bank failure in U.S. history.

Image
  On Friday,   Signature Bank   customers spooked by the   sudden collapse   of Silicon Valley Bank withdrew more than $10 billion in deposits, a board member told CNBC. That run on deposits quickly led to the third-largest  bank failure  in U.S. history. Regulators  announced  late Sunday that Signature was being taken over to protect its depositors and the stability of the U.S. financial system. The sudden move shocked executives of Signature Bank, a New York-based institution with deep ties to the real estate and legal industries, said board member and former U.S. Rep.  Barney Frank . Signature had 40 branches, assets of $110.36 billion and deposits of $88.59 billion at the end of 2022, according to a regulatory filing. "We had no indication of problems until we got a deposit run late Friday, which was purely contagion from SVB," Frank told CNBC in a phone interview. Problems for U.S. banks with exposure to the  frothiest  a...

  Ukraine forces control west of the now ruined and nearly deserted Bakhmut, while Russia's Wagner Group controls most of the eastern part, British intelligence said, with the Bakhmutka River that bisects the town marking the front line Both Ukraine and Russia on Sunday reported high casualties in Ukraine’s Donetsk region with the slow, long-lasting and bloody fight for the small town of Bakhmut continuing as Moscow presses to advance into its neighbour’s territory. Ukraine forces control west of the now ruined and nearly deserted Bakhmut, while Russia’s Wagner Group controls most of the eastern part, British intelligence said, with the Bakhmutka River that bisects the town marking the front line. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces had suffered more than 1,100 dead in the past few days fighting along the Bakhmut section of the frontline. “In less than a week, starting from the 6th March, we managed to kill more than 1,100 enemy soldiers in the Bakhmut secto...

SpaceX Will Launch The New $3.2 Billion ‘Roman’ Space Telescope, Says NASA

Image
  The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, formerly known as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), is a NASA observatory set to launch in the mid-2020s. It is named after Nancy Grace Roman, an American astronomer who played a critical role in the development of the Hubble Space Telescope and in advancing our understanding of the universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to explore some of the most pressing questions in astrophysics, including the nature of dark energy and dark matter, the formation and evolution of galaxies, and the search for exoplanets. One of the key capabilities of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is its ability to conduct a large-area survey of the sky in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. This will allow astronomers to study the distribution of galaxies and galaxy clusters over vast distances, providing insights into the structure and evolution of the universe. In addition, the telescope will be able to detect and study ...

What are the secrets of Taj Mahal

Image
  The Taj Mahal is a magnificent mausoleum located in Agra, India, which is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in the world. Built between 1631 and 1653 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is a testament to the beauty and power of love. Over the years, many myths and legends have arisen about the Taj Mahal, including secrets about its construction, design, and symbolism. Here are a few: The Secret of the White Marble: The Taj Mahal is made of pure white marble, which gives it its distinctive gleaming appearance. According to legend, the marble was transported to Agra from the quarries of Makrana, Rajasthan, using a fleet of 1,000 elephants.

Silicon Valley Bank shut down by regulator, 2nd biggest US lender failure in history

Image
US regulators have shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and taken control of its customer deposits in the largest failure of a US bank since 2008. The moves came as the firm, a key tech lender, was scrambling to raise money to plug a loss from the sale of assets affected by higher interest rates. Its troubles prompted a rush of customer withdrawals and sparked fears about the state of the banking sector. Officials said they acted to "protect insured depositors". Silicon Valley Bank faced "inadequate liquidity and insolvency", banking regulators in California, where the firm has its headquarters, said as they  announced the takeover . The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which typically protects deposits up to $250,000,  said  it had taken charge of the roughly $175bn (£145bn) in deposits held at the bank, the 16th largest in the US. Bank offices would reopen and clients with insured deposits would have access to funds "no later than Monday morning...

Joshimath Sinking : Houses, temple collapse in Singhdhar

Image
  Hundreds of people have been evacuated from Joshimath, a Himalayan town which has been slowly sinking into the ground in India. As residents waited in uncertainty, the BBC's Vineet Khare spoke to experts to understand if the town could be saved. Pushkar Singh Dhami, chief minister of Uttarakhand state where Joshimath is located, said that around 25% of the town's area had been affected by the subsidence. Joshimath, with 25,000 residents, has around 4,500 buildings spread over 2.5 sq km (0.96 sq miles). More than 800 buildings have developed cracks, and authorities have been demolishing the unsafe ones. "It doesn't look like the subsiding areas of Joshimath - which comprise settlements, houses and constructions - will survive," says geologist Dr SP Sati. "There are no obstacles down the slope to prevent the subsidence, and there should have been multiple obstacles," he says, referring to the lack of green cover in the area. Joshimath was built on the de...
