ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Tuesday remarked that corruption cannot be eradicated in the country until the flaws in the system are removed.

The CJP made the remarks while hearing a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan challenging amendments to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Ordinance.

The CJP remarked that no efforts had been ever made to remove the flaws in the system. It was the responsibility of the Parliament to introduce legislation for bringing betterment in the system and ensure implementation of it, he stated.

The top judge remarked that inspector-generals of police (IGPs) in provinces used to be changed after every five months while station house officers (SHOs) of police stations used to be replaced within three months.

The CJP remarked that the apex court had decided the Pakistan Steel Mills and Reko Diq cases in the past with good intentions. The government couldn’t fix corruption in the projects due to weaknesses in the system, he said.

The chief justice remarked that the businesses of many people had been destroyed due to the misuse of NAB law in the country. However, no one should be forgiven for committing corruption, he said.

The CJP further said that the court couldn’t find the relevant law which clarifies the point that whether an incomplete assembly could introduce legislation or not. More than a half assembly had boycotted the house as a political strategy, he observed.

He said that it was a good omen that there was free media in the country which was highlighting the truth.

Justice Ijazul Ahsan remarked that the NAB amendments had benefited only a few people.

Should the judiciary should just see this situation as a spectator, he asked and observed that the NAB law was approved in haste without any debate.

Elon Musk relaunches Twitter Blue after fake account fiasco

Elon Musk has relaunched a Twitter subscription service after a first attempt saw an embarrassing spate of fake accounts that scared advertisers.— Twitter/
SAN FRANCISCO: Elon Musk has relaunched a Twitter subscription service after a first attempt saw an embarrassing spate of fake accounts that scared advertisers and cast doubt on the site's future.
The first try last month came just 10 days after Musk's $44 billion takeover of the platform and a mass round of layoffs that saw company staff levels halved, including teams of workers moderating content.

The relaunch of Twitter Blue in a handful of countries including the United States comes as the Tesla and SpaceX owner has stepped up his tweets endorsing right-wing causes, including opposition to the use of gender-neutral pronouns and the US government's response to COVID-19.

FTX founder charged with fraud in crypto exchange's collapse

NEW YORK/NASSAU: US federal prosecutors on Tuesday alleged Sam Bankman-Fried committed fraud and violated campaign finance laws, and the founder and former CEO of FTX also faced additional charges by US regulators.

The 30-year-old Bankman-Fried arrived at a heavily guarded Bahamas court on Tuesday for his first in-person public appearance since the cryptocurrency exchange's collapse. He could be extradited to the United States.

“Mr. Bankman-Fried is reviewing the charges with his legal team and considering all of his legal options,” his lawyer, Mark S. Cohen, said in a statement.

In the indictment, prosecutors said Bankman-Fried had engaged in a scheme to defraud FTX's customers by misappropriating their deposits to pay for expenses and debts and to make investments on behalf of his crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research LLC.

He also defrauded lenders to Alameda by providing them with false and misleading information about the hedge fund's condition, and sought to disguise the money he had earned from committing wire fraud, prosecutors said.

Both the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) alleged Bankman-Fried committed fraud in lawsuits filed on Tuesday.

"While he spent lavishly on office space and condominiums in The Bahamas, and sank billions of dollars of customer funds into speculative venture investments, Bankman-Fried's house of cards began to crumble," the SEC filing said.

The CFTC sued Bankman-Fried, Alameda, and FTX on Tuesday, alleging fraud involving digital commodity assets.

Since at least May 2019, FTX raised more than $1.8 billion from equity investors in a years-long "brazen, multi-year scheme" in which Bankman-Fried concealed that FTX was diverting customer funds to its affiliated crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research LLC, the SEC alleged.

While the public believed Bankman-Fried's "lies" and sent billions of dollars to FTX, he improperly diverted customer funds to his hedge fund, the SEC said in a court filing. He continued to divert FTX customer funds even as it was increasingly clear that Alameda and FTX could not make customers whole, the SEC said.

Bankman-Fried has apologized to customers and acknowledged oversight failings at FTX, but said he doesn't personally think he has any criminal liability.

Bankman-Fried founded FTX in 2019 and rode a cryptocurrency boom to build it into one of the world's largest exchanges of the digital tokens. Forbes pegged his net worth a year ago at $26.5 billion, and he became a substantial donor to US political campaigns, media outlets and other causes.

A crypto exchange is a platform on which investors can trade digital tokens such as bitcoin

MELBOURNE: A massive turnout of Sikhs at the 'Australian Sikh Genocide Referendum' car rally here has shocked India as all so-called 'efforts' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government failed to stop activities of pro-Khalistan Sikh groups in western countries.

The rally was led by hundreds of heavy bikers with banners 'The Last Battle - To Kill Indian Hindutva System' and '30,000 Sikhs-Indigenous People Were Killed By Brahmin-Hindu Mobs In 1984' clogged the Melbourne Roads in a 5km-long convoy, coinciding with events around the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Day.

DOHA: Morocco extended their dream run at the World Cup on Saturday as they out-thought and out-fought Portugal in a 1-0 win to become the first-ever African country to reach the semi-finals thanks to a towering headed goal from Youssef En-Nesyri.

In the 42nd minute, En-Nesyri leapt above the Portugal defenders to meet a Yahya Attiat-Allah cross, getting just enough of his head to the ball to tip it past goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who misread its flight and crashed into his own defender.

Portugal meanwhile struggled to break through the Moroccan defence, Bruno Fernandes coming closest with a shot off the bar shortly after Morocco's goal

We're going to have to wait a little longer to see the first ever orbital space launch from UK soil.

Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit company had pencilled in next Wednesday for the historic Cornwall flight, but it is now going to slip until after Christmas.

The firm has cited technical and regulatory challenges in getting ready for the launch.

Neither Virgin Orbit nor its passenger satellites have yet been licensed.

James Webb Space Telescope 'fingerprints' earliest galaxies /
It's not much to look at - just a little red blob with the rather quirky name of JADES-GS-z13-0.

But this faint smudge, imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope, is the "most distant galaxy" so far confirmed by gold-standard measurement.

We're looking at this collection of stars as it was a mere 325 million years after the Big Bang.

Put another way - if the Universe is 13.8 billion years old, it means we're observing JADES-GS-z13-0 when the cosmos was only 2% of its current age.
The light from this blob has been travelling towards us for a very, very long time.

"I'm actually in awe and incredibly grateful to be part of this moment," said Dr Emma Curtis-Lake, who is part of the international team that published details of the discovery on Friday.

Cornwall is the most surprising location to have produced the most costly pineapple ever.

The luscious fruit, as per a report by The Mirror costs a whopping £1,000 per slice and was produced over years by a 15-person team of tropical fruit farmers. Cornwall has a microclimate, but because it takes so much work to grow pineapples, it is not frequently done
