‘Incredibles 3’ shifts spotlight to Violet, Dash, teases new villain

Fans got their first real look at “Incredibles 3” during D23, where Pixar director Pete Docter offered a preview of what to expect from the franchise’s next chapter. The reveal took place at Friday’s fan event in Anaheim.

According to multiple reports, the new film picks up just a few weeks after “Incredibles 2.” This time, though, the focus shifts away from the parents and toward the family’s superpowered kids.

After Bob led the original film and Elastigirl took centre stage in the sequel, “Incredibles 3” will finally put the spotlight on the family’s eldest children. Docter confirmed that Violet and Dash are eager to prove themselves as capable Supers in their own right.

He explained that the siblings want to show they are ready for real hero work, even though their parents are not entirely convinced. As a result, the kids have been sneaking out at night to protect the city on their own.

That decision, Docter noted, does not go over well once their parents find out. Making matters more complicated, the family is also struggling to keep Jack Jack’s unpredictable powers under control.

Beyond the family dynamics, Docter teased a new threat that is taking a serious toll on Bob emotionally. He explained that Bob is grappling with his own relevance in a world of Supers that may have moved past him.

According to Docter, the story explores how legality does not automatically mean morality within this world. He pointed out that even though Supers are now legal again, that doesn’t guarantee all of them are good.

The filmmaker nearly revealed more about the film’s central villain, describing the character as more powerful than the entire Parr family and every other Super combined. Before he could share further details, Edna Mode actress interrupted him, urging him not to spoil the movie ahead of release.

“Incredibles 3” is currently scheduled to hit theatres in June 2028, giving fans plenty of time to speculate about the new villain’s true identity and abilities.

    AJK rejects firing allegations against forces

    The Government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) has strongly rejected allegations that security forces opened fire on protesters or were responsible for civilian deaths during the recent unrest in Rawalakot, describing the claims as false, unverified and part of an organised disinformation campaign. Responding to a report by the BBC on the recent incidents, the AJK government said armed members of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee opened fire on security personnel in Rawalakot, resulting in the deaths and injuries of several officers. It also alleged that the attackers set multiple vehicles on fire during the violence. According to the government, security forces acted only to maintain law and order and enforce the law, insisting that civilians were not deliberately targeted during the operation. The AJK government cited information from the police spokesperson, who said seven security personnel were killed and 143 others were injured in firing allegedly carried out by armed members of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee. It further claimed that the banned group has a history of violent activities. According to the statement, attacks carried out in 2024 and 2025 resulted in the deaths of four security personnel and left hundreds of others injured. The government also said two individuals arrested on July 28 and 29 were under investigation. It alleged that one of the suspects claimed a reward of Rs10 million had been offered for the killing of each Ranger, raising questions about the possible funding of the group. According to the statement, verified videos show armed individuals linked to the banned Joint Awami Action Committee using modern weapons and firing during the unrest. The AJK government maintained that law enforcement agencies carried out their constitutional responsibilities with restraint and professionalism. It insisted that no action was taken against peaceful civilians and that operations were conducted solely to restore public order. The government also categorically denied allegations of indiscriminate firing, the use of snipers or claims that bodies of victims were withheld from their families. It further alleged that the banned Joint Awami Action Committee had previously been involved in blocking roads, stopping or burning cargo vehicles and disrupting the supply of essential goods. According to the statement, law enforcement agencies made efforts to keep roads open and ensure the uninterrupted movement of essential supplies. The AJK government added that the Joint Awami Action Committee has been declared a banned organisation under the Anti-Terrorism Act and said all legal proceedings against the group are being carried out in accordance with the law.

    Capital one defends closure of Trump organization accounts

    Capital One Financial has responded to a lawsuit filed over its decision to close bank accounts linked to the Trump Organization, arguing that the move was based on internal anti-money laundering reviews rather than political or ideological motivations. The bank, in a legal filing submitted on Friday, stated that it closed the accounts following a detailed assessment conducted by its anti-money laundering (AML) specialists. The company argued that the decision was made after months of analysis and was consistent with its internal policies as well as regulatory requirements. The filing represents the first time a major bank has publicly connected concerns related to money laundering risks with its decision to end a banking relationship involving the Trump family business. However, Capital One clarified that it has never accused the Trump Organization of committing illegal money laundering activities. Instead, the bank said that the account closures were the result of routine compliance procedures. Capital One argued that documents presented in the case, along with the plaintiffs’ own claims, demonstrate that the decision was related to AML concerns rather than any attempt to discriminate against the company because of political beliefs. The dispute began after Capital One informed the Trump Organization in March 2021 that it planned to close more than 300 accounts associated with businesses connected to former U.S. President Donald Trump. The Trump Organization and Eric Trump, Trump’s son, later filed a lawsuit in March 2025 in a Florida federal court, claiming that the bank had unfairly “debanked” them because of political pressure and what they described as the company’s “woke” policies. The lawsuit alleged that Capital One’s decision was influenced by the political environment following the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The plaintiffs argued that the bank wanted to distance itself from Trump and his supporters during a period of intense public and political scrutiny. A federal court in Miami has already dismissed two versions of the complaint but allowed the plaintiffs opportunities to revise and submit updated claims. Capital One argued in its latest filing that the amended complaint continues to contain the same weaknesses as earlier versions and fails to establish evidence of unlawful discrimination. The bank accused the Trump Organization of presenting selective information and relying on statements taken out of context. Capital One maintained that the allegations of political motivation were unsupported and ignored the broader circumstances behind the account closures. According to the bank’s filing, certain transaction patterns identified during its review matched types of activities that federal banking authorities commonly recognize as requiring additional examination. Capital One said its AML team followed established procedures before reaching the decision to terminate the accounts. The legal battle comes during a broader political debate in the United States over the issue of “debanking,” with some conservatives accusing financial institutions of unfairly targeting individuals and organizations because of their political views. During his second presidential term, Trump’s administration has criticized such practices and taken steps aimed at preventing what it describes as discriminatory banking decisions. The controversy has also involved other major financial institutions. Trump previously filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, making similar allegations regarding political discrimination. During his first term in office, Trump also took legal action against Capital One and Deutsche Bank in an effort to prevent the release of his financial records to Congress. The case continues to highlight the growing tension between banking compliance practices, political concerns, and the debate over whether financial institutions should have broader restrictions on ending relationships with controversial clients.

    Leadership crisis at EPZs threatens Pakistan’s industrial future

    Islamabad: The Senate Standing Committee on Industries and Production today exposed alarming governance lapses and structural vulnerabilities in Pakistan’s industrial sector, raising serious questions over the future of Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and the proposed Automotive & Auto Parts Manufacturing Policy 2026–31. The session, chaired by Senator Saleem Mandviwalla, revealed that the Export Processing Zones Authority has been operating without a permanent chairman for an extended period, leaving critical decisions in limbo. Committee members expressed deep concern that this leadership vacuum is undermining investor confidence and delaying strategic initiatives crucial for industrial growth. Mandviwalla warned that the prolonged absence of leadership threatens compliance with Pakistan’s commitments under the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF), particularly the phase-out of incentives and restrictions on EPZ sales to the domestic market. Industry representatives attending the committee highlighted growing discontent over the draft Auto Policy 2026–31. While the policy aims to boost New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), increase domestic value addition, and expand exports, local manufacturers face crippling challenges. High tariffs on raw materials, steep duties, and overall cost disadvantages were flagged as severe obstacles that could prevent the policy’s objectives from materializing. “The government’s plan is ambitious, but without resolving operational bottlenecks, domestic producers will be left behind while international competitors gain an advantage,” said a senior industry official. The committee directed all stakeholders to submit formal grievances and scheduled a follow-up joint session with the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industries and Production to ensure these issues are addressed before the next IMF review. Officials confirmed that EPZ incentives and operational rules require immediate reform, warning that failure to act decisively could deter foreign and domestic investment, compromise manufacturing growth, and slow Pakistan’s economic recovery. The committee stressed that rectifying these issues is critical not only for industrial expansion but also for maintaining Pakistan’s international credibility in trade agreements and IMF compliance.

    15 terrorists killed in Balochistan intelligence-b…

    QUETTA: Security forces have killed 15 terrorists during a series of intelligence-based operations conducted across several districts of Balochistan, security sources said on Sunday. The operations were carried out under the ongoing Operation Rad-ul-Fitna-3, targeting militant networks in Mastung, Bolan, Washuk, Awaran, Sibi, Khuzdar, Harnai and Noshki. According to security sources, the operations were launched following intelligence about the presence and movement of militants in the targeted areas. A significant quantity of weapons and ammunition was also recovered during the actions. Officials said the operations dealt a major blow to militant networks and disrupted their ability to move and operate across parts of the province. Security forces, they added, remain committed to continuing intelligence-driven operations until terrorist activity is eliminated. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the security forces for what he described as successful operations against militant groups. He commended the personnel for their professionalism and said the government would continue supporting efforts to counter terrorism. The latest operations come amid heightened security concerns in Balochistan, where militant attacks have targeted both civilians and security installations. Security forces have continued intensified operations in the province following a series of deadly attacks. Earlier, security forces reported killing 12 militants during intelligence-based operations in the Washuk and Mastung districts. Authorities have also launched joint operations involving the Pakistan Army, Frontier Corps and Balochistan Police following recent attacks on security personnel and civilians. Pakistan has witnessed a significant rise in militant violence in recent years, with Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa remaining among the most affected regions. Security agencies say intelligence-led operations will continue as part of broader efforts to prevent further attacks and dismantle militant networks.
