Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that the Fordow nuclear site has sustained “serious and heavy damage” following recent US military strikes.
Speaking to CBS News in an interview broadcast on Tuesday, Araqchi noted, “No one exactly knows what has transpired in Fordow. That being said, what we know so far is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged.”
He added that Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation is currently assessing the damage and will soon submit a report to the government.
While Araqchi acknowledged significant destruction, intercepted Iranian communications reviewed by the US paint a different picture.
According to The Washington Post, which cited four people familiar with classified intelligence, Iran appears to be downplaying the extent of the damage in internal communications.
President Donald Trump, however, offered a contrasting view, claiming that the attacks “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear programme.
Despite these remarks, US officials have stated that a full and accurate assessment of the strike’s impact will take time.
The US military strikes were part of a larger offensive launched over the weekend, targeting key nuclear sites in Iran.
Fordow nuclear site, being one of the most fortified and controversial facilities, was among the primary targets.

Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) has raised prices for multiple Kia vehicles in Pakistan. The revised prices came into effect on July 1, 2025. According to the company, this decision is linked to several factors introduced in the federal budget.
Firstly, the newly applied NEV Levy has impacted the auto sector. Secondly, the Pakistani rupee continued to depreciate, making imports more expensive. Lastly, international freight charges have increased significantly. Therefore, LMC stated, “Despite efforts to absorb the impact,” these adjustments were “unavoidable.”
Starting in July, the price of the Picanto AT rose from Rs. 3,940,000 to Rs. 4,090,000, an increase of Rs. 150,000. Similarly, the Stonic EX+ jumped from Rs. 5,500,000 to Rs. 5,999,000, up by Rs. 499,000. Meanwhile, Stonic EX now costs Rs. 4,862,000 compared to Rs. 4,767,000, rising by Rs. 95,000.
In the SUV category, Sportage L Alpha increased by Rs. 400,000 to reach Rs. 8,899,000. Furthermore, the Sportage L FWD now stands at Rs. 10,499,000 after a Rs. 500,000 hike.Sportage L HEV, on the other hand, saw a Rs. 600,000 rise and now costs Rs. 11,599,000.
In addition, Sorento 3.5L V6 and its EMI version rose by Rs. 400,000 each. Their latest prices are Rs. 13,899,000 and Rs. 14,399,000. Likewise, Sorento HEV FWD and EMI both jumped by Rs. 600,000 to Rs. 15,299,000 and Rs. 15,799,000 respectively. Moreover, Sorento HEV AWD and its EMI counterpart rose by Rs. 700,000, bringing their new rates to Rs. 16,699,000 and Rs. 17,199,000.
KIA’s Notice about Price Increase
As for the Carnival, it now costs Rs. 18,200,000, up Rs. 700,000 from its previous price. However, there has been no change in the prices of EV5 Air, EV5 Earth, and EV9 models.
These updated prices apply to all orders invoiced on or after July 1. Additionally, other factors like further rupee depreciation, duties, and taxes may still affect final delivery costs.

MethaneSAT, a satellite backed by Jeff Bezos to track methane emissions, has been lost in space. The Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), which led the project, said the satellite went off course about 10 days ago and lost power. Its last known location was over Svalbard in Norway.
MethaneSAT Had the Power to Redefine Methane Monitoring
EDF launched MethaneSAT in March 2024 to track methane leaks from oil and gas sites worldwide. The mission supported climate pledges made by over 120 countries in 2021 and 50 companies at COP28 in Dubai to cut methane and stop routine gas flaring. Methane warms the planet 80 times more than CO₂ over 20 years.
The satellite had sent back data and images from pipelines and drilling sites globally. Amy Middleton, EDF’s senior vice president, said, “We’re seeing this as a setback, not a failure. We’ve made so much progress and so much has been learned that if we hadn’t taken this risk, we wouldn’t have any of these learnings.”
EDF notified the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and U.S. Space Force. Engineers are investigating the cause of the failure. EDF said the satellite cost $88 million, and the project received a $100 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund in 2020.
Other key funders include Arnold Ventures, the Robertson Foundation, the TED Audacious Project, and EDF donors. The project also worked with the New Zealand Space Agency. MethaneSAT had partnered with Google to build a public map of emissions.
Though not the only methane-tracking satellite, EDF said MethaneSAT offered higher detail and wide-area coverage. They believe it showed that such instruments can detect total emissions, even at low levels. EDF said it’s too early to say if they will launch another satellite.
EDF will continue using planes equipped with methane-detecting spectrometers to spot leaks. The UN said last year that “super-emitters” rarely act when informed of leaks. Pressure to respond has dropped after the Trump administration ended greenhouse gas data collection and rolled back methane rules.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, who began his term as President of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for July, urged the council and its permanent members on Wednesday to resolve the Kashmir dispute.
“It is time that this (Kashmir dispute) be addressed, and I would say this is not only a responsibility of Pakistan, we are here temporarily, two years as a non-permanent member,” he said while speaking at a press conference at the UN Headquarters in New York.
He continued, “I think it’s the responsibility of the Security Council itself, and particularly the permanent members, to see that they take certain steps to actually get their own resolutions implemented. That’s the way forward.”
Pakistan’s Presidency Agenda at UNSC
Before the press conference, the 15-member UNSC met and approved the programme of work for July.
Ambassador Iftikhar said Pakistan’s approach to the presidency is based on the UN Charter’s core values, peaceful dispute settlement, sovereign equality, multilateralism, and respect for international law.
He announced that Pakistan would host two key high-level debates: one on “Promoting International Peace and Security through Multilateralism and Peaceful Settlement of Disputes” on July 22, and another on “UN-OIC cooperation” on July 24.
Both will be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar.
Dar will also preside over the quarterly open debate on the situation in Palestine on July 23.
“These debates stem from the reality that today’s crises often emerge from unresolved disputes, the erosion of international obligations, and the under-utilisation of peaceful means enshrined in Chapter VI of the Charter,”Ambassador Iftikhar stated.
Kashmir and the UN Agenda
Addressing the Kashmir issue, Ambassador Iftikhar reminded that the dispute is already on the Security Council’s agenda under the “India-Pakistan question” and that the Council has passed multiple resolutions on it.
He highlighted that these resolutions recognise the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination.
“It is a festering dispute and has several dimensions,”he said.
“This is an issue that has been there unresolved. It is a cause of tensions and frictions between India and Pakistan,”he added.

When Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot in Venice, Italy, on June 27 2025, they didn’t just say “yes” to becoming each other’s partner for a lifetime but also boosted the country’s dying economy post-pandemic.
When Lauren Sanchez said “I do,” not only did she become one of the richest women on the planet with Benzo’s $200 billion plus fortune, but Italy also generated more money in one week than it made in a year (up to $1.1 billion).
The three-day Jeff Bezos wedding,reportedly costingup to $55 million, has kept Venice hotels and other businesses busy. Who knew billionaire weddings could shift entire economies?
The Wedding that Went Down in Venice
From what we know, Bezos and Sánchez’s wedding was basically the Met Gala meets James Bond in a floating Renaissance dream. According to CNN, Venice saw a dramatic surge in luxury bookings, yacht rentals, hotel stays, private jet landings, and yes—helicopter landings too (because, of course).
Guests weren’t just any regular rich folks. We’re talking global billionaires, tech moguls, Hollywood elite, and fashion icons. The wedding became a mini-economic stimulus for Italy’s luxury tourism sector, particularly Venice, Capri, and the surrounding coastal regions.
And if you check Lauren Sánchez’s Instagram post, the aesthetic was opulence personified: sunset kisses, designer gowns, historic villas, candle-lit canals; the kind of stuff you’d expect from the richest circles of the planet. But wasn’t she just a former journalist? Guess even guests and reporters get to buy royalties these days.
One billion dollars is a staggering number for a single event, but here’s how it might add up:
Hotel & Luxury Rentals: Every 5-star suite got booked, and every villa cost $100K a night. Now multiply this by 250+ guests who are almost all billionaires.
Private Transport: 90 Private jets, 30+ superyachts and helicopters; the carbon footprint alone probably deserves its own GDP entry.
Security, Staff & Services: Private security firms, chefs flown in from Paris, event planners, stylists, etc.
Trickle-Down Spending: Wealthy guests didn’t just show up and leave. They shopped, they dined, they Instagrammed. This created a temporary halo effect for Italy’s luxury retail and tourism markets.
According to CNN’s reporting, industry insiders estimate the event and its ripple effects could have had close to a $1 billion impact when factoring in all associated luxury spending. However, all this is supposed to be “advertising and promotional” impact and revenue.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez
Italy valued Bezos’s wedding media reach at nearly 900 million, more than the Super Bowl’s advertising.
In 2023, Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour was also a contributorto inflated hotel and restaurant prices in Stockholm. Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour, which wrapped up last December, was the highest-grossing tour of all time.
The $1.1 billion coming from the Bezos-Sanchez wedding is more than the $1 billion Las Vegas generated from the 2024 Super Bowl.
But here’s the catch: It’s not direct cash handed to the Italian government or local population.
It’s mostly money circulated within high-end private industries like luxury fashion, fine dining, private aviation, and exclusive hospitality. Sure, some of it reaches workers and local businesses, but let’s not pretend this was a philanthropic act. Or even close.

Veganism has gained popularity in recent years, with parents now considering shifting their children to plant-based regimens.
However, a pure vegan diet raises important considerations.
Is it safe? Will all the nutritional requirements of growing children be met?
To answer many common queries, we have compiled a comprehensive list.
A Well-Planned Vegan Diet is Safe for Children
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics claims that a well-planned plant-based diet is safe and nutritionally sufficient to meet the health needs of children. However, Special emphasis needs to be laid on efficient planning because a strict regimen could lead to nutritional deficiencies.
A quintessential vegan diet
Veganism May Result in Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Meat is an excellent source of Vitamin B12, a nutrient essential for neurological development and red blood cell production. A deficiency of Vitamin B12 can lead to anaemia and neurological impairment.
Supplements need to be taken, or fortified cereals can be taken, to provide sufficient Vitamin B12 if the child is not consuming meat at all.
Meat sources are rich in Vitamin B12
Protein Requirements Can Be Met With Plants
Meat products gained popularity because of their high protein content. They contain all the essential amino acids needed to maintain health.
Plant proteins may be deficient in some essential amino acids, but a combination of legumes, soy products, grains, and nuts can fulfil these protein requirements.
Legumes
Vegetable Sources of Iron are Poorly Absorbed
Non-heme iron in plant-based sources is poorly absorbed, increasing the probability of an iron deficiency.
Therefore, iron absorption needs a boost in such diets. This problem can be overcome with Vitamin C-rich sources like citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit, etc.).
Iron is found in both plant and animal sources.
Calcium and Vitamin D Need Careful Consideration
Animal milk tends to be rich in Calcium. However, these requirements could be met with leafy green vegetables and soy milk.
Vitamin D supplements or adequate sunlight exposure can also fulfil these requirements. If you’re giving your children Vitamin D supplements, make sure to check in with the doctor for an appropriate dosage.
Vitamin D supplements
Omega-3s are Essential for Brain Health
Chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and algal oil are rich sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are critical for brain development and maintenance.
This property makes these sources alternatives to marine animals rich in Omega-3s, like salmon and cod.
Fish are rich sources of Omega-3s.
Children May Need Larger Portions
Energy density varies among plant and animal sources. Plant-based diets might fail to meet the caloric needs of growing children; hence, taking frequent meals and increasing portion sizes are good strategies to meet caloric requirements.
Large Portions
Fibre Intake Must Be Monitored
Dietary fibre is essential to promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation. However, an overload could slow down the absorption of nutrients. To moderate fibre intake, consider eating peeled fruits and vegetables. White bread can also be eaten.
Sources of fibre
The Paediatrician Must Be Kept in the Loop
If parents want to feed their children a vegan diet, they must take regular appointments with their paediatrician, who will use growth charts and lab investigations to track children’s development. Furthermore, early detection of deficiencies can be promptly managed.
A paediatrician must be consulted regularly.
There is No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Some children may thrive on a vegan diet, while others may have sluggish growth and poor health. A flexible approach should be encouraged because there is no universally accepted one-size-fits-all approach.
It’s important that you know your child’s needs and then decide on a diet that suits him/her.
Veganism may not suit every child.
A Vegan Diet Could Work With Efficient Management
Veganism is indeed safe and healthy, but that doesn’t preclude efficient management and close monitoring.
Health professionals must be consulted, nutritional deficiencies should be promptly addressed, and flexible approaches should be encouraged. Done well, plant-based diets could be cost-effective and environmentally sustainable in the long term.

An Indian parliamentary panel will assess the state of safety in the country’s civil aviation sector, with a scheduled session on July 9.
Lawmakers have invited key players in the industry, including government officials, Air India, IndiGo, airport operators and air traffic control representatives, to take part in the review.
According to a meeting memo reviewed by Reuters, the agenda will cover various aspects of passenger safety.
Although the document does not directly reference the recent Air India crash, panel member R.K. Chaudhary confirmed the incident will be discussed.
“If we do not raise questions on it, they (airlines) will not become vigilant about these issues,” he said.
The review follows the tragic Air India crash on June 12, which claimed 260 lives, 241 passengers and 19 crew, after a Boeing 787 8 jet went down shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, alongside the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.
Air India has faced increasing scrutiny. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) recently issued warning notices over “repeated and serious violations”related to pilot duty schedules.
The airline was also flagged for operating three Airbus aircraft that were overdue for mandatory checks on emergency escape slides.
Additionally, India has sent the recorders to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in Washington, D.C., whose lab is well-known for retrieving data from damaged black boxes.
“While AAIB had established a laboratory at its headquarters in Delhi last year, it is yet to be properly equipped to extract data from recorders which have sustained heavy damage,” said a source.
Analysis at the NTSB may take days or months, depending on the internal damage.

On Tuesday at 6:39 a.m., a 4.4-magnitude earthquake jolted Lahore and nearby areas of Punjab. According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the earthquake was 25 kilometres southwest of Lahore. It struck at a depth of 14 kilometres.
Soon after the tremors, several regions across Punjab reported shaking. The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) confirmed that areas like Kasur, Okara, Sheikhupura, Mureed, and others felt the earthquake. As a result, many residents woke up feeling the early-morning vibrations.
Fortunately, no casualties occurred during the incident. In response, PDMA teams began inspecting buildings in all affected districts. So far, they have not found any major structural damage.
Meanwhile, the District Emergency Operation Centres across Punjab moved to high alert. Additionally, PDMA’s Provincial Control Room started real-time monitoring of the situation. Authorities will remain alert for the next 24 hours to handle any potential aftershocks.
PDMA urged citizens to report damage by calling the 1129 helpline. They also advised the public to stay calm yet cautious in case further tremors occur.
Previously, on June 30, another earthquake of magnitude 3.9 struck 35 kilometres west of Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab. It hit at 2:07 p.m., with a depth of seven kilometres. On the same day, Balochistan experienced a 4.8-magnitude earthquake at 11:11 a.m., located 40 kilometres southwest of Zhob at a depth of 20 kilometres.
Earlier, on Sunday, a 5.5-magnitude quake shook Musakhail, a remote district of Balochistan bordering Punjab. As a result, five people sustained injuries. Additionally, dozens of mud houses suffered damage in that region.
Just a day before that, low to moderate earthquakes rattled parts of Karachi and Pasni in Balochistan. However, officials reported no major damage or loss from those tremors.
Overall, Pakistan remains highly prone to earthquakes due to its position on a fault line. It lies at the boundary between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Therefore, the country frequently experiences seismic activity throughout the year.

There is a reason why most weddings are forced into winter, especially in Karachi. With temperatures soaring above 40 degrees and relentless humidity, no couple will glow in the scorching heat.
Wedding photos are sacred, a lifelong memory for the newlyweds. It isn’t fair that the summer sun melts the bride’s 80k makeup, nor should the groom sweat in his elegant Sherwani that can cost lakhs.
Fortunately, Karachi has plenty of pleasant spots for taking wedding photos indoors with air conditioning, controlled lighting, backdrops, and sufficient space to whirl around. Let’s explore these options.
Studio Space
A photoshoot location with a unique blend of indoor and outdoor venues, Studio Space is fit to take your bridal photos in all seasons.
If their Instagram page is any indication, they have versatile and modern sets, covering several themes that would fit every bride’s checklist. Hire a professional and reliable photographer, and the photos will turn out to be absolutely majestic.
Located near Mazar-e-Quaid, The Dawood Foundation (TDF) Museum is at the hub of cultural heritage. With rooftop views, antique furniture indoors, and cultural exhibits, it is a beautiful heritage house perfect for a photoshoot with that vintage feel.
So, if you are a couple who prefers a classic touch to their pictures, TDF Museum is a great choice with its old-school architecture and rich heritage.
As suggested by the name, Siddiqui’s House is a residential haveli that has become a new landmark in Karachi. With its historic vibe and striking doors, it has drawn both photographers and wedding couples.
It is a symbol of the city’s grandeur. A mansion aesthetic with large courtyards and doors has made it a top spot for photoshoots.
Unlike other entries on this list, Koel Cafe is a restaurant, but it brings an artistic and aesthetic vibe with its lush green garden and earthy architecture.
The hidden gem is located in Clifton. The unique vibe is best suited for couple photos and post-nikkah brunch pictures. Nonetheless, it would take extra effort to book the café for a photoshoot because it is still a restaurant with good customer flow. So, make sure you talk to the management beforehand and get things sorted for the big day.
Located in Zamzama, Khatija House provides a vast, luxurious, and fancy indoor venue for bridal pictures. It has a romantic vibe, making it the ideal location for newlyweds to take photos together.
There have been concerns about their prices, but the Instagram posts of various bridal photos state that they charge around PKR 25k. This price seems justified given the grand location and the quality of pictures you will be getting.
In a city where summer feels more like survival, choosing an indoor bridal shoot location is a smart move. With Karachi’s rising temperatures and unpredictable weather, these air-conditioned, aesthetically curated studios, houses and cafes offer brides the chance to look flawless without battling sweat, sunburn, or smudged makeup.
These venues don’t just provide a backdrop; they provide an experience. From classic to contemporary, let Karachi’s best indoor studios make your bridal dream a cool, flawless reality.

US President Donald Trump said Israel has accepted the conditions for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire. He wrote on Truth Social that during the ceasefire, “We will work with all parties to end the War.”
Trump didn’t list the conditions but stated, “The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal.”
Trump urged Hamas to accept the deal. He said, “I hope… that Hamas takes this deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.” Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, said, “Israel is absolutely ready for a ceasefire.” Hamas has not issued any response yet.
Trump will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week. He said, “I can tell you he wants to. I think we’ll have a deal next week.” On Tuesday, Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer met US officials in Washington, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.
Danon said that Hamas was “playing hardball.” He said, “We are putting pressure on Hamas, and if they do not come to the table, the only option we will have to bring back the hostages is to apply more military pressure.” He added, “The war will end when the hostages are back home.”
Around 50 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza. At least 20 are believed to be alive. A senior Hamas official told the BBC that mediation efforts have increased, but talks remain stalled. Israel insists the war will end only when Hamas is dismantled.
Hamas, on the other hand, demands a permanent ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal.
Over 170 NGOs want GHF shut down. Groups like Oxfam and Save the Children accuse Israeli forces of firing on Palestinians seeking aid. Israel denies the claim, saying GHF bypasses Hamas interference.
In March, a previous ceasefire failed after Israel launched new strikes. The military said they were “pre-emptive” due to Hamas’s threat. That deal had three stages, but collapsed early. Stage two involved a permanent truce, hostage release, and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Ayesha was able to apply a bulk offer to her entire shopping cart, bringing her total to under Rs 10,000, a steal.
Ayesha, a young mom from Karachi, wanted to give her daughter Mirha a truly unforgettable 4th birthday, something as bold and joyful as Mirha’s favourite Disney heroine, Moana.
However, with summer temperatures soaring above 40°C (104°F) and local party supplies either unavailable or overpriced, Ayesha turned to Temu, a global online marketplace known for its wide range of affordable, creative items. What started as a dream soon.
became a vibrant Moana-themed beach celebration brought to life on a budget.
Beach House Turns into Island Paradise
Hosting a large family gathering inside their city apartment was not an option in Karachi’s sweltering heat. Knowing the sea breeze offered some relief, Ayesha decided to book a beach house by Hawks Bay Beach, transforming it into her own little island paradise for the day. However, the challenge was how to decorate it beautifully without overspending.
“I had this whole beachy Moana theme in mind, but when I started looking for supplies, it was a struggle,” Ayesha said. “Store after store had nothing close to what I envisioned, or the prices just didn’t make sense for a kid’s party.”
With only a couple of weeks left to plan, a friend suggested to try Temu, a rapidly growing global e-commerce platform launched in Pakistan late last year. The platform is known for its affordability and wide selection, according to an Ipsos survey.
A Treasure of Party Decorations on Temu
Curious and slightly hopeful, Ayesha began browsing the site and quickly found herself immersed in a treasure trove of party decorations and kids’ accessories. To her delight, the exact items she had imagined were right there: coconut shell cups, palm-leaf-style table mats, pastel-colored balloons—everything she needed to transform a plain beach house into a vibrant island adventure where kids and guests could celebrate in style.
“I was honestly amazed by how affordable everything was on Temu, and the quality? Even better than I expected! It made planning my daughter’s birthday a breeze,” Ayesha said.
One of her favourite finds was the Moana-inspired outfit she put together for Mirha, which instantly made her the star of the celebration.
“I went deep into Temu to find costume pieces that resembled Moana’s signature look from the film: her red tapa-style top and woven pandanus skirt with delicate embroidery,” Ayesha said. “I even found a beautiful artificial Hawaiian plumeria flower that I used to decorate her hair. It completed the look perfectly.”
Beyond decorations, Ayesha thoughtfully prepared small gifts for Mirha’s little friends, placing them in the mini jute bags she ordered from Temu. While hunting for party supplies on the platform, she also stumbled upon a lightning deal: Artificial Birds of Paradise at 90% off, which she later used to decorate her home.
Extra-Ordinary Bulk Offers and Discounts
Thanks to Temu’s new customer discount, Ayesha was able to apply a bulk offer to her entire shopping cart, bringing her total to under Rs 10,000, a steal, considering the quantity and quality she received.
To her surprise, everything arrived a few days ahead of schedule and arrived in one delivery, allowing her to prep the entire setup herself with time to spare.
“I wanted something fun, easy, and memorable, not just for Mirha, but for our friends and family who came to celebrate with us,” said Ayesha.
Ayesha’s story is a testament to how thoughtful planning, paired with the right platform, can turn a simple idea into an unforgettable celebration. With more Pakistani families now spending a larger share of their budgets on their children, especially around birthdays and milestones, Ayesha’s experience highlights how platforms like Temu, offering everything in one place at affordable prices, can make joyful moments both meaningful and budget-friendly.
The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, just admitted something wild in a recent interview: The creepy VIPs you saw in the show’s final season? They were partly inspired by Elon Musk.
Yep, you read that right.
In an interview with Time, Hwang said, “Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right?” And after wrapping up Season 3, he couldn’t help but notice that some of the VIPs looked and behaved a lot like him. Now that it hits, the resemblance is uncanny.
“Squid Game” Creator Channels Elon Musk for VIPs in Final Season
The VIPs in Squid Game are these ultra-rich, out-of-touch elites who literally bet on people’s lives for fun. They sit around wearing gold animal masks, drinking whiskey, and making terrible small talk while people fight to the death. Sound like a stretch? Today’s billionaires are kind of doing the same thing, just less bloody and way more public.
In fact, Season 3 takes it further. This time, the VIPs don’t just watch but also get involved in the blood bath. No more hiding, they are no more afraid to show who rules it all and who is behind all the dirty play. Sounds familiar?
The current political situation of the United States is an exact reflection. Billionaires like Elon Musk are no more funding the government just from behind. They step in the government, do their Nazis salutes and you can’t do anything about it.
As Hwang noted, “Not only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he’s also this showman”.
“In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy,” he explained.
“However, it’s no longer the case, especially in America. We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners step up, telling everyone who they’re backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, ‘We’re the ones running everything. We’re the ones in control.”
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will.

“And then they sang for her, words of happiness, sounds of sadness and melody of tomorrow’s memories.” Sounds so poetic, right? What if I tell you that these are the opening sentences of a mehendi song from an old forgotten cinematic gem of Pakistan, “Beyond the Last Mountain”?
This mehendi song showcased Pakistani women in their truest form, covered yet modern. Way ahead of its time, if you ask me.
I am talking about Pakistan’s only English-language feature film that was written almost 49 years ago, in 1976, when Pakistan was booming in the modern age. Unfortunately, though, now almost all prints of the film from its time have been lost or discarded. The only surviving copy resides somewhere in New York in the Lincoln Centre Archives.
Beyond the Last Mountain: The Forgotten Cinematic History of Pakistan
Written, produced, and directed by Javed Jabbar, this 1976 film was not just another movie. In the 1970s, Pakistan was a country trying to pick up the pieces after the traumatic break of 1971. Amidst this political and emotional chaos, one man dared to dream beyond the usual.
Thus was born the masterpiece that Pakistan’s cinema has never seen before. Original and literal, Beyond the Last Mountain never got the recognition it deserved.
It was Pakistan’s first English language film, which was shown at the 6th International Film Festival of India in New Delhi. It was also released in the Urdu language with the title “Musafir”.
The actors who took up the main roles of this prestigious film were Usman Peerzada and Shamim Hilaly. The film also featured young Nazia Hassan, who later became the pop icon of Pakistan. If the cast is so iconic, imagine what the film must have been.
Ahead of Its Time, Misunderstood in Its Time
“Beyond the Last Mountain” wasn’t meant for the average cinema-goer looking for glamour, slapstick comedy, or melodrama. It was original (showed the true image of Pakistan in the 70s, a representation not found anymore) and too intellectual.
Maybe that’s exactly why it got lost in the crowd back then.
This wasn’t the kind of film Lollywood was making at the time. It had no gaudy dance numbers, no exaggerated villains, and no over-the-top romance. Instead, it explored the psyche of a young man named Hamid (played by Usman Peerzada), who returns to a politically unstable Karachi only to find his father (a respected politician) assassinated.
What follows is not revenge, but a journey into truth, disillusionment and the meaning of justice in a broken society. A young man searching for the truth and for himself.
Hamid meets four intelligent, self-aware women (no damsel in distress stereotype) from Karachi’s upper-middle class, each with a distinct worldview. This alone is revolutionary on its own, but also ironic of how we have evolved in reverse in our dramas these days.
Pakistani women being shown as thinkers, movers and challengers of the status quo? That’s new!
Tragically, today, so few of us know that a film like this ever existed in our archives. It’s about time we revive our history and cinematic masterpieces instead of running after movies that are not even our own and will never be.
Beyond The Last Mountain
Javed Jabbar’s Legacy Must Live On
The filmmaker, Javed Jabbar, took an immense risk with this film and thankfully so. He could have played it safe and easily made a traditional Lollywood film, but he chose not to.
Ironically, international critics praised it. It was screened at the 6th International Film Festival of India and seen as a bold, fresh experiment in South Asian cinema.
And then… silence.
The film disappeared for decades, and even its prints went missing. If not for archivists in New York’s Lincoln Centre, who found a surviving copy in their vaults in the late 2010s, the film might’ve been lost forever.
Now is our chance to not let Javed Jabbar’s gem go to waste, even if it’s late. According to the Lincoln Archives, after some colour correction, clean up, and remastered sound, the film will be ready to resurface in our era. The era that will surely do justice to the movie, “Beyond the Last Mountain”, deserves.

Some actors in Hollywood are the official trademark of the industry, and Leonardo DiCaprio is easily one of them. He is arguably one of the finest actors from his generation, due to his versatility and range. The Academy Award winner has maintained a formidable presence in Hollywood with a nearly three-decades-long career.
Leonardo DiCaprio Movies: Every Cinephile’s Must-Watch
To celebrate the actor, here are the best Leonardo DiCaprio Movies of all time.
Titanic (1997)
Release Date: December 19, 1997
Box Office: $2.26 billion (worldwide)
Directed by: James Cameron
Role: Jack Dawson
Titanic is the second highest-grossing movie of all time and the second film to win 11 Oscars, including Best Picture. Directed by James Cameron, Titanic was the ultimate breakthrough that turned Leonardo into the global sensation he is today.
If you’ve watched Titanic recently, one of the big takeaways might have been, “Good lord, look how young Leo and Kate are.” Since both have blossomed into significant actors, it’s easy to forget that they were really just kids (Leo was just 23) when they made this movie. His ripe age also allowed him to deliver the performance his role required.
Playing Jack Dawson, a poor yet passionate artist who wins a ticket aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic, Leo infused charm, cockiness and optimism into his role. His chemistry with Kate Winslet remains legendary even to this day. When his character dies in Titanic, a world of impressionable filmgoers was his for life.
Unfortunately, his charm and obvious good looks didn’t impress the Academy enough to include him in the best actor lineup. Still, he would eventually get his due more than 20 years later.
With an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion, Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark. It was the first film to surpass the $1 billion mark and held the record for the highest-grossing film for 12 years.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Release Date: December 25, 2013
Box Office: $407 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Role: Jordan Belfort
In Martin Scorsese’s scandalous, cocaine-fueled biopic of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, Leo goes full throttle. DiCaprio has often partnered with filmmaking icon Martin Scorsese, but his comedic take on Jordan Belfort’s time of wealth, corruption and drug use is one of the actor’s most jaw-dropping.
The film is unhinged and unfiltered, just how it should have been. It’s a satirical comedy about a real-life douchebag who ends up in a good place in the end, despite his gross behaviour. And let’s not forget the great discovery of DiCaprio’s performance in this movie: his total mastery of physical comedy.
From crawling on Quaaludes to delivering motivational monologues, Leo doesn’t hold back. This role was a high-wire act of indulgence, chaos, and control. He earned an Oscar nomination despite the film being released under the gun, and proved, once again, that he could carry a three-hour film with swagger without letting his mask of “the world is made for me to conquer” slide.
Inception (2010)
Release Date: July 16, 2010
Box Office: $836 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Role: Dom Cobb
DiCaprio’s biggest hit since Titanic, Inception, is the first real event movie he’s been a part of since that James Cameron sensation. (Remarkably, Inception is also his first summer blockbuster.)
Christopher Nolan’s thriller gave DiCaprio a layered role as Dom Cobb, a thief tormented by his past. Dom Cobb isn’t a tragic figure because he lost his wife, but rather because he never came to terms with it, and DiCaprio provides the character with endless anguish that supplements the film’s stunning effects and twisty sci-fi concept.
Inception was a box office hit and became a modern sci-fi classic, largely due to DiCaprio’s emotional anchor.
The Revenant (2015)
Release Date: December 25, 2015
Box Office: $533 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Alejandro G. Iñárritu
Role: Hugh Glass
This is the film that finally won Leo his long-overdue Oscar. Playing frontiersman Hugh Glass, DiCaprio braved freezing temperatures, ate raw bison liver, and delivered a nearly wordless performance that was primal and daring.
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant is a brutal tale of survival, in which an 1820s frontiersman endures in quick succession a Native American ambush, a bear attack, and a betrayal by one of his companions (Tom Hardy) who leaves him for dead. Leo’s commitment to the role was nothing short of legendary.
The Revenant is easily the most physical role of his career, with the actor grunting, straining, and fighting his way across unforgiving terrain to make it back to civilisation. He finally proved to people that he can play rugged characters just as well as he can play the others.
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Release Date: December 25, 2002
Box Office: $352 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Role: Frank Abagnale
In this breezy Steven Spielberg crime caper, Leo plays Frank Abagnale Jr., a teenage con artist who impersonates doctors, lawyers, and pilots.
His youthful charm, slyness, and emotional vulnerability make you root for him even as he commits fraud after fraud. DiCaprio’s dynamic with Tom Hanks (the FBI agent chasing him) is pure gold. This film marked a turning point. After it, Leo wasn’t just a teen idol anymore; he was a serious actor with incredible range.
Unfortunately, only the Golden Globes nominated him for Best Actor (drama) and not the Oscars.
Shutter Island (2010)
Release Date: February 19, 2010
Box Office: $295 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Role: Edward “Teddy” Daniels / Andrew Laeddis
Among the most divisive films in DiCaprio’s career, Shutter Island is an elegantly unnerving portrait of a man slowly losing his sanity.
In this psychological thriller, Leo plays U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, investigating a missing patient on a mysterious island asylum. As Teddy Daniels, who thinks he’s on the hunt for a missing inmate on an island for the criminally insane, DiCaprio has to play his character’s psychosis straight, all the while hinting at the horrible truth: He’s actually a patient himself, unable to accept the fact that his wife (Michelle Williams) killed their children.
As the plot twists and Teddy’s own sanity unravels, DiCaprio walks a tightrope between toughness and psychological torment. The film’s haunting final line (“Which would be worse: to live as a monster or die as a good man?”) is a testament to his performance.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Release Date: July 26, 2019
Box Office: $377 million (worldwide)
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Role: Rick Dalton
Quentin Tarantino’s nostalgic Hollywood fairytale gave DiCaprio one of his most complex characters. Rick Dalton, a fading actor dealing with insecurity, failure and the changing tides of fame. Leo’s performance is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
Call it the perfect marriage of an actor feeling like he’s at the crossroads of his career, or maybe it’s his infectiously funny and charming performance, but his Rick Dalton in Tarantino’s look at classic Los Angeles is possibly his best work (yet).
Leonardo DiCaprio: The Actor We Will Remember
Several of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best performances subvert or tweak his good looks, encouraging us to see the uglier, messier undercurrents beneath his characters’ appealing surface.
He’s not just an actor who picks good scripts; he elevates every story he’s in. In the future, new generations will watch Leonardo DiCaprio’s movies and will envy the actor our generation was privileged to have.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is back in action, and this time, he’s leading a squad full of legends into the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. If nostalgia had a cricket team, the Pakistan Champions would be it.
From July 18 to August 2, expect fireworks, fierce rivalries, and a healthy dose of throwback moments as some of Pakistan’s most iconic cricketers return to don the green once again—this time on English soil.
Afridi will lead a lineup stacked with firepower, experience, and match-winning potential. Joining him is Sarfaraz Ahmed, the man who led Pakistan to a memorable Champions Trophy win in 2017. It’s poetic, really—two captains from two very different eras, now united in one team.
The Squad: Legends Galore
The Pakistan Champions squad is the stuff of every 2000s and 2010s cricket fan’s dreams. Here’s the full lineup:
Shahid Afridi (c), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Sharjeel Khan, Wahab Riaz, Asif Ali, Kamran Akmal, Aamer Yamin, Sohail Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Sohaib Maqsood, Arshad Khan

Experience: Malik, Hafeez, and Afridi know what it takes to win on the big stage.
Aggression: Sharjeel, Asif Ali, and Kamran Akmal bring batting firepower.
Versatility: Wahab, Tanvir, and Yamin offer all-round depth and variety in the bowling attack.
What’s at Stake in WCL 2025?
The World Championship of Legends (WCL) isn’t just another nostalgia fest. It’s a serious competition, featuring six powerhouse nations: India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies.
Matches will be played across some of England’s most iconic grounds: Edgbaston, Headingley, Grace Road, and Northampton—adding to the charm of what’s expected to be a high-octane tournament.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t just about cricket. It’s about legacy, emotion, and a reunion of some of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricketers.
Whether you cheered for Afridi’s whirlwind 37-ball century or Sarfaraz’s calm presence behind the stumps, there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing these stars together again.
So, get ready to relive the magic. Because when Pakistan Champions step onto the field, it’s not just a match—it’s a celebration.

In a move that feels as fitting as a helicopter shot in the final over, MS Dhoni has filed to trademark the nickname that has long defined his cricketing persona—“Captain Cool.”
Yes, the title that fans, commentators, and opponents alike have used to describe Dhoni’s ice-veined leadership is on its way to becoming legally his.
Making “Captain Cool” Official
According to the Trademark Registry of India, the application filed by Dhoni in June 2023 has now been approved and advertised. That means unless someone raises an objection within the next three months, the former India skipper will officially own the rights to the phrase “Captain Cool” under categories related to sports training.
For years, MS Dhoni has been the embodiment of composure—whether it was finishing off finals with a six or keeping his cool during nail-biting Super Overs. Now, it seems he’s ready to etch that image into the commercial realm.
Competing Applications and Technicalities
Interestingly, the journey to trademarking “Captain Cool” wasn’t a solo run to the finish line. Earlier this month, a company called Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd also tried to stake a claim on the same nickname.
However, their application has been flagged as requiring corrections, giving Dhoni the edge once again—just like he used to do in the final overs.
Why This Trademark Matters?
This isn’t just a vanity move. By securing the rights to “Captain Cool,” MS Dhoni could use the brand across sports academies, merchandise, training programs, and even future business ventures. It ensures that his legacy—on and off the field—remains protected and uniquely his.
From staying ice-calm behind the stumps to now putting his name on the phrase that captured his cricketing soul, MS Dhoni continues to lead from the front—even in retirement.
And if things go as expected, the next time you see “Captain Cool” on a t-shirt, cricket academy, or training gear, you’ll know: it’s not just a nickname. It’s Dhoni’s own trademarked legacy.

‘Squid Game’ Creator Reveals Elon Musk as Inspiration for VIPs in Final Season
The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, just admitted something wild in a recent interview: The creepy VIPs you saw in the show’s final season? They were partly inspired by Elon Musk.
Yep, you read that right.
In an interview with Time, Hwang said, “Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right?” And after wrapping up Season 3, he couldn’t help but notice that some of the VIPs looked and behaved a lot like him. Now that it hits, the resemblance is uncanny.
“Squid Game” Creator Channels Elon Musk for VIPs in Final Season
The VIPs in Squid Game are these ultra-rich, out-of-touch elites who literally bet on people’s lives for fun. They sit around wearing gold animal masks, drinking whiskey, and making terrible small talk while people fight to the death. Sound like a stretch? Today’s billionaires are kind of doing the same thing, just less bloody and way more public.
In fact, Season 3 takes it further. This time, the VIPs don’t just watch but also get involved in the blood bath. No more hiding, they are no more afraid to show who rules it all and who is behind all the dirty play. Sounds familiar?

As Hwang noted, “Not only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he’s also this showman”.
“In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy,” he explained.
“However, it’s no longer the case, especially in America. We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners step up, telling everyone who they’re backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, ‘We’re the ones running everything. We’re the ones in control.”
