Pakistan suffer heavy defeat as Ireland score 11

ByJustpaste.in

Pakistan’s difficult start to the Masters Hockey World Cup continued on Monday as Ireland handed them a crushing 11-0 defeat in their second Group D match.

The one-sided result leaves Pakistan searching for answers after another disappointing outing in the tournament. Ireland dominated proceedings and repeatedly breached the Pakistani defence, eventually finishing with an emphatic 11-goal victory.

Pakistan struggled to create a meaningful attacking threat throughout the contest, while Ireland maintained pressure and capitalised on their opportunities. The Pakistani side failed to find the net despite efforts to regain control of the match.

The defeat was particularly disappointing for a team featuring experienced former Olympians. Olympians Shahbaz Senior and Khalid Hameed were unable to produce the kind of performance that could inspire a turnaround as Ireland maintained their control from start to finish.

The 11-0 scoreline also highlights the challenge facing Pakistan as they attempt to recover from back-to-back defeats at the competition.

Pakistan will now have little time to regroup. Their next Group D assignment is scheduled for August 11, when they will face Wales.

The upcoming match could provide Pakistan with an opportunity to put the heavy defeat behind them and restore some confidence. However, they will need a much stronger defensive display and greater attacking organisation if they are to avoid another difficult outing.

For Pakistan, the focus now shifts from the disappointment against Ireland to the immediate task of responding against Wales. With the tournament moving quickly, the team will be hoping to turn the page and produce a more competitive performance in its next appearance.

    Nicki Minaj rejects claims in hotel bill dispute

    ByJustpaste.in

    Nicki Minaj has responded through her legal team after a business dispute with production company 24/7 Productions intensified in court. The rapper’s lawyers have strongly rejected claims made by the company, arguing that the lawsuit unfairly targets her personally and attempts to damage her reputation instead of focusing on the contractual issues at the centre of the case. The latest development comes after 24/7 Productions described Minaj as a “spoiled and entitled” rap star in court filings related to an ongoing payment dispute. Her lawyers argue that such language has no relevance to the legal issues and was included solely to create a negative public image of the Grammy-nominated artist. According to Minaj’s legal team, the remarks were designed to distract attention from the actual contractual disagreement. The dispute centres on production work carried out during Minaj’s Jingle Ball performances and the Pink Friday 2 launch events held in New York in 2023. 24/7 Productions claims it covered a wide range of event-related expenses, including hotel accommodation, staffing, security services and production costs. The company alleges that it has not yet received full payment for those services and has therefore taken legal action to recover the outstanding amount. Minaj’s lawyers, however, dispute those claims and insist that the hotel accommodation and related expenses were already included in the agreed budget for an artist of her stature. They argue that such costs should not be portrayed as unusual or excessive. Her legal team also contends that the production company is attempting to sensationalise the case by focusing on her celebrity lifestyle rather than the actual business agreement between the parties. Another key argument presented by Minaj’s lawyers concerns the identity of the contracting party. They maintain that the agreement was entered into with Pink Friday Productions LLC, not with Nicki Minaj in her personal capacity. As a result, they argue that the rapper herself should not be held personally responsible for any financial obligations arising from the company’s agreements. The legal team has also insisted that the disputed payments have already been made, directly challenging the production company’s allegations that it remains unpaid. The case is scheduled to return to court on August 3, when a judge will consider Minaj’s request to have her name removed from the lawsuit. The hearing is expected to focus on whether the claims should proceed against the artist personally or remain directed at Pink Friday Productions LLC instead. For now, both sides remain firmly committed to their opposing positions. While 24/7 Productions continues to pursue payment through the courts, Nicki Minaj’s legal representatives insist that the company has mischaracterised both the facts of the dispute and the rapper’s role in the contractual arrangement. The outcome of the upcoming court hearing will likely determine how the case proceeds in the months ahead.

    Zohran Mamdani reveals he has been vibing to Shamoon Ismail

    ByJustpaste.in

    New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was once known as rapper Young Cardamom. He has not left his music roots behind. This week, he revealed that Pakistani rapper Shamoon Ismail is currently on his playlist. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Mamdani was asked what he has been listening to. He named Radio & Weasel, a Ugandan duo that topped charts for years. He also mentioned Shamoon Ismail, saying he has followed the Pakistani rapper for a few years now. Whenever he is feeling reflective, he said, he puts on Kacey Musgraves. It is not clear how Mamdani discovered Ismail’s music. But the choice fits his background. He was born to a Ugandan father and an Indian mother, and raised in New York. His music taste reflects that mix. It also shows his close ties to the South Asian communities he represents. He has not specified which Ismail songs he is playing right now. This also is not the first time he has shown love for South Asian music. After his primary win, he walked off stage to the Bollywood hit “Dhoom Machale.” Fans still remember that moment. Mamdani’s taste is wide ranging. He has also spoken fondly of Taylor Swift, Jay Z, and Kim Petras. He is a fan of Indian American rapper Himanshu Suri, known as Heems. Mamdani has said Heems is part of the reason he entered politics. As for Ismail, his soulful rap style keeps building a strong following. Recent tracks like “used to it,” “Alone Together,” and “VOLUME” have racked up big streaming numbers. The singer recently took some time away from the spotlight. That break reportedly lined up with a major personal milestone, possibly an engagement or a wedding. He resurfaced on New Year’s Eve with a handwritten note to fans. He described the time away simply as a “transition.” Mamdani’s shoutout is likely to boost Ismail’s profile further. This is especially true among fans who enjoy seeing South Asian artists recognized on a global political stage.

    SNGPL faces billions in losses after LPG air-mix project abandoned

    ByJustpaste.in

    Pakistan’s state-owned gas utility, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), has incurred losses worth billions of rupees after a major liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) air-mix project was shelved despite substantial investments in land, equipment, and infrastructure. The issue surfaced during a recent meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), where the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) presented a detailed briefing on the fate of the long-delayed project and proposed options for utilising the idle assets. The LPG air-mix initiative was originally approved between 2016 and 2018 under the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government to provide gas to remote and mountainous regions where extending conventional natural gas pipelines was either technically challenging or financially unviable. The project envisioned the installation of 16 LPG air-mix plants, backed by an estimated government subsidy of around Rs16 billion. However, after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government assumed office, concerns over the project’s financial sustainability prompted a review. In March 2020, the Petroleum Division informed the ECC that the scheme required substantial government support and would place an additional financial burden on already struggling gas companies. The committee was presented with two options: continue the project with government subsidies or abandon it altogether. On March 25, 2020, the ECC decided to halt the installation of all LPG air-mix plants where construction had not yet commenced. Despite this decision, SNGPL had already acquired land, imported specialised equipment, and completed procurement for several planned facilities, resulting in significant sunk costs. The Petroleum Division later sought clarification regarding three proposed plants in Drosh, Ayun, and Chitral, where procurement activities had already been completed. In December 2020, the ECC directed SNGPL to discontinue these projects as well and dispose of the purchased land and equipment through an open and transparent process while minimising financial losses. According to officials, SNGPL subsequently issued tenders on three separate occasions to sell the unused assets. However, the company failed to receive any serious offers. As a result, the equipment remains stored in Lahore, while the sale of land is still awaiting approval from the Board of Revenue, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Petroleum Division informed the ECC that SNGPL now estimates approximately Rs60 million will be required merely to conduct an operational health assessment of the idle machinery before any future use can be considered. The original project was estimated to cost Rs2.775 billion over a 15-year period. Of this amount, Rs943 million was allocated for plant installation, land acquisition, and civil works, while another Rs1.832 billion was earmarked for developing a gas distribution network capable of serving around 12,000 consumers in Chitral. Financial projections prepared at the time painted a challenging picture. SNGPL estimated an annual revenue shortfall of Rs419 million in the first year, increasing to approximately Rs815 million by the sixth year. In addition, the cost of producing synthetic natural gas through the LPG air-mix system was projected at nearly Rs25,000 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) during the initial year of operations. Despite these concerns, the Petroleum Division has now proposed a revised and more cost-effective plan. Officials told the ECC that by redesigning the project, optimising engineering specifications, and utilising existing company resources, the overall capital requirement could be reduced significantly to Rs1.779 billion. The revised proposal includes cutting civil construction costs and using surplus pipeline materials already available in SNGPL’s inventory. The company also believes operational expenses can be lowered by reducing unaccounted-for-gas (UFG) losses based on operational experience from similar facilities in Gilgit, while also improving fuel and power efficiency. Under the updated estimates, the annual revenue deficit could decline to Rs119 million in the first year, rising to Rs432 million by the sixth year. Likewise, the cost of producing synthetic natural gas could be brought down to around Rs7,229 per mmBtu, assuming an initial consumer base of approximately 2,000 households. To avoid further financial losses and make productive use of equipment already purchased, the Petroleum Division has recommended that one LPG air-mix plant be established in Chitral, subject to a technical health assessment of the stored equipment and approval from the original equipment vendor.

    Iran says US military weaker as Hormuz crisis deep…

    ByJustpaste.in

    TEHRAN: Iran has intensified its rhetoric against the United States as attacks on commercial shipping and stalled peace efforts deepen uncertainty over the future of the war, with Tehran warning that the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Washington accepts its conditions. Mohammad Reza Naqdi, an adviser to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said in an interview with PBS that the US military had proved “weaker than what we perceived” during the five-month conflict. Naqdi said Iran had gained valuable battlefield experience during the war and claimed Tehran would continue to emerge victorious. “The longer this war lasts, the more experience we gain,” he said, arguing that Iranian forces had learned how to confront the US military through direct experience. His comments came as maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped sharply. Shipping data showed only eight vessels were tracked through the waterway on Tuesday, below a 10-day average of about 12 and the lowest daily figure since August 5. Before the conflict, the strait typically handled around 130 to 140 vessels a day. The slowdown has heightened fears over global energy supplies because Hormuz is a crucial route for oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. The International Maritime Organization has previously warned of serious risks to vessels and seafarers operating in the area. Shipping attacks raise fresh alarm Tensions also spread to other maritime chokepoints. Four crew members were reportedly killed in a suspected Houthi attack on a cargo vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while two Yemeni rescuers were also killed, according to reports cited in the source material. The US military separately said an MH-60 helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles at a Panama-flagged cargo ship after the vessel allegedly ignored warnings linked to a blockade of Iranian ports. Maritime sources said the incident occurred off Pakistan in the Gulf of Oman. The attacks have added to concerns that the conflict could disrupt shipping routes connecting the Gulf with the Red Sea and beyond. Iran sets conditions for reopening Hormuz Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei said the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen unless Washington agreed to Tehran’s demands, including the release of frozen Iranian assets and an end to conflicts across the region. Iran’s parliament is also preparing legislation that would restrict military and commercial vessels from countries Tehran considers hostile from entering the Gulf without Iranian authorisation. The proposed law is intended to strengthen Iran’s control over the strategically important waterway. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has continued to combine threats with suggestions that negotiations could eventually produce a settlement. He has claimed the United States has control over the Strait and warned Iran against further escalation. Oil markets have already reacted to the uncertainty. Brent crude rose 1.4 per cent to $88.91 a barrel, while US crude gained 1.3pc to $83.20. Pakistan seeks diplomatic space Amid the worsening security situation, Pakistan has continued diplomatic engagement with Tehran. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Iran and met President Masoud Pezeshkian, with both sides stressing the importance of strengthening bilateral political, economic, trade, cultural and security ties. Pezeshkian praised Pakistan’s commitment to closer relations and said Tehran was ready to expand cooperation with Islamabad. Naqvi said his visit was aimed at following up on understandings reached between the two countries and accelerating implementation of existing agreements. With military rhetoric rising, shipping routes under pressure and negotiations at an apparent impasse, the Strait of Hormuz remains at the centre of a crisis whose consequences could extend far beyond the Middle East.
