Imran Khan asks SC to hear PM Shehbaz’s corruption cases
KOHAT: After hailing Supremer Court's decision on Article 63(A), PTI Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday urged the apex court to hear the alleged corruption cases against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his family. In a major development, the SC today ruled that the votes of dissident members of the Parliament (MPs), cast against their parliamentary party's directives, cannot be counted. The five-member larger bench announced a split decision. The majority of judges, including Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, refused to allow parliamentarians from voting against the party directives under the four instances mentioned in Article 63(A) of the Constitution. Although no PTI member voted for Shehbaz during the prime minister's election, several party members had voted for Hamza Shahbaz in the Punjab chief minister election — leaving his fate hanging in the balance. In his address during the Kohat jalsa, the PTI chairman praised the Supreme Court's decision and said the apex court with the … [Read more...] about Imran Khan asks SC to hear PM Shehbaz’s corruption cases
Bedfordshire PCC Festus Akinbusoye backs continuation of stop-and-search
Published 26 May 2021 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Britain's first black police and crime commissioner has said removing stop-and-search powers would mean "a field day for criminals". Conservative Festus Akinbusoye was elected to the Bedfordshire role earlier this month . Human rights groups say the number of people belonging to ethnic minorities stopped and searched by police is "disproportionate". But Mr Akinbusoye said: "I am pro stop-and-search." "I was a special constable and I stopped people, black and white, and I found things," he said. The police and crime commissioner (PCC) said he had been stopped and searched six times by police in the past. He said it was "disturbing" that the experience of policing for ethnic minorities could be "the opposite" of what white people go through. But he said he felt the powers were necessary because he knew … [Read more...] about Bedfordshire PCC Festus Akinbusoye backs continuation of stop-and-search
Family slammed for bullying pregnant woman over “risk” baby has red hair
A heavily pregnant woman has vented her frustration at feeling "bullied" by family members over the fact her baby may have red hair. Red might be the rarest human hair color in the world, but redheads nevertheless account for a significant proportion of the population. According to online geography resource website WorldAtlas, redheads represent around 2 to 6 percent of the U.S. population, or somewhere between 6 and 18 million people. Despite this, a certain stigma persists among the redheaded population , not least when it comes to dating . A 2012 study saw a group of men and women put on different colored wigs in a dating setting to see who would be approached the most. Redheads suffered the most rejection with just 13.8 percent of men wearing the red wigs being asked to dance, compared with 35 percent of the men donning black locks. It wasn't just restricted to men either. The women wearing red wigs found they were approached by just 29 men, which was … [Read more...] about Family slammed for bullying pregnant woman over “risk” baby has red hair
Games Inbox: Phil Spencer and Starfield, Silent Hill console exclusivity, and Hot Topic part 3

To join in with the discussions yourself email [email protected] Eight years later Starfield’s delay , especially given Bethesda’s dubious reputation when it comes to bugs and glitches. I was very much looking forward to the game, but I can’t help recall a number of previous comments voicing concerns about Microsoft’s management of its now massive stable of developers. As others have pointed out, Perfect Dark seems to be a disaster before we’ve heard anything official about it and Halo Infinite somehow has a worse reputation after launch than before, which is not the usual direction these things go. At the moment Microsoft have no games scheduled for this year and while that might change in June, I’m not sure I’d bet on it being anything other than another Forza.

Obituary: Billy Graham
Published 21 February 2018 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Once dubbed God's Ambassador, Billy Graham went to the four corners of the world with his evangelical mission. His soft-spoken Southern style was in direct contrast to the fire and brimstone adopted by so many evangelical preachers. Over six decades, he preached to an estimated 215 million people in 185 countries and reached hundreds of millions more through his radio and television ministry. His early audiences were predominantly white, middle-class and conservative. But, as the civil rights movement gained momentum, he began to preach against segregation and formed a sometimes strained friendship with Martin Luther King. William Franklin Graham Jr was born on 7 November 1918 and brought up on the family dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. His parents were members of the conservative Associate … [Read more...] about Obituary: Billy Graham
