Harrison Ford refuses to slow down as he announces…

Harrison Ford is proving that age is no reason to stop exploring new adventures. At 84, the legendary actor has surprised Indiana Jones fans with major news about his iconic character.

Ford announced that he will be part of a new Indiana Jones attraction coming to Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. The attraction, titled Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, will take guests on a dangerous journey inspired by Maya culture and legends. (Disney Parks Blog⁠)

The announcement came during Disney’s D23 event in Anaheim on August 15. Ford appeared in a prerecorded video message and revealed that, for the first time, he will serve as the actual model for an Indiana Jones Audio-Animatronics figure. (People.com⁠)

For fans, the news is especially exciting because Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was widely expected to be Ford’s final appearance as the legendary archaeologist. The 2023 movie was presented as the fifth and final film in the franchise. (Wikipedia⁠)

This new project does not mean Ford is returning for another Indiana Jones movie. Instead, his likeness will help bring the character to life inside the upcoming Disney attraction.

The ride will be located in the new Tropical Americas area of Animal Kingdom. According to Disney, the story follows Indiana Jones as he explores an ancient temple near an underground cave known as a cenote. Riders will eventually be pulled into a mysterious underworld filled with dangerous creatures, fire, snakes and other obstacles. (Disney Parks Blog⁠)

The attraction will also feature a giant serpent known as the Tsukán. Disney says the story has been developed with archaeologists, anthropologists and Maya experts to create a setting inspired by the region’s culture and history. (Disney Parks Blog⁠)

Ford’s involvement adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the project. He has played Indiana Jones for more than four decades, beginning with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. His performance helped turn the character into one of cinema’s most recognizable action heroes.

Although Ford has previously suggested that Dial of Destiny marked his final journey as Indy on the big screen, his latest announcement shows that he is not quite finished with the character. (Wikipedia⁠)

The new attraction is expected to open in 2027 as part of Disney World’s expanding Tropical Americas land. (WDW Magic⁠)

For longtime fans, seeing Ford’s likeness return as Indiana Jones will be a nostalgic moment. And while this may not be another movie adventure, it proves that the legendary archaeologist still has plenty of life left in him.

    Mohammad Abbas breaks Pakistan’s Test bowling record

    TAROUBA: Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Abbas has created a new national record in Test cricket. Abbas has surpassed legendary former captain Imran Khan to achieve Pakistan’s best bowling average among pacers with at least 100 Test wickets. The 36-year-old reached the milestone during Pakistan’s first Test against the West Indies at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba. Abbas dismissed Brandon King and Kavem Hodge during the West Indies’ second innings. He had already taken three wickets in the first innings. The performance took Abbas to 115 Test wickets in 30 matches. His bowling average improved to 22.78. Imran Khan previously held the record with an average of 22.81. He took 362 wickets in 88 Tests during his career. Former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis is third on the list. He claimed 373 wickets in 87 Tests at an average of 23.56. Abbas made his Test debut against the West Indies in Kingston in 2017. He received his Test cap from then Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq. Despite his strong domestic record, Abbas spent more than three years away from Pakistan’s Test team. He returned to the side during the tour of South Africa in December 2025. Since his comeback, he has once again become an important part of Pakistan’s pace attack. In 2026, Abbas has taken 15 wickets in three Tests. His performances also include a five-wicket haul. Abbas has also built an impressive record in first-class cricket. He has taken 894 wickets in 220 matches at an average of 20.36. Among active first-class bowlers, Abbas ranks fourth for wickets. James Anderson leads the list with 1,181 wickets, followed by Simon Harmer with 1,054 and Malinda Pushpakumara with 1,010. Abbas’ latest achievement adds another milestone to his career. His accuracy and consistency have helped him become one of Pakistan’s most effective Test bowlers.

    Oil nears $110 as US-Iran tensions rise

    Global crude oil prices climbed sharply this week as rising tensions between the United States and Iran increased concerns over energy supplies. The escalation in geopolitical risks, combined with ongoing disruptions linked to the wars involving Iran and Ukraine, has pushed physical crude cargo prices to their highest levels in nearly two months. Crude oil cargoes traded across the Middle East, Europe and Africa have risen significantly in value, with some shipments approaching $110 per barrel. The increase reflects growing uncertainty in global energy markets, where buyers are rushing to secure supplies amid fears of further disruptions. Traders say concerns over supply have become the main driver of the latest price rally. Buyers are seeking immediate deliveries from alternative sources as uncertainty over future exports continues to grow. The stronger demand for prompt cargoes has added further pressure on international oil prices. The global benchmark Dated Brent, which is used to price more than 60 percent of physical crude oil cargoes worldwide, climbed to $105.70 per barrel on Thursday, according to market data. The benchmark reached its highest level since late May and moved above the $100 per barrel mark for the first time since early June. Market analysts believe geopolitical developments are having a direct impact on energy prices. Growing fears that conflicts could disrupt production or shipping routes have increased volatility in the oil market. Investors and traders are closely watching developments in the Middle East as they assess the risk of further supply shortages. Oil broker Tamas Varga said supply concerns have once again become the dominant factor influencing the market. He noted that uncertainty over production and exports is encouraging buyers to secure crude oil before prices rise even further. The market was also affected by developments in Kazakhstan. Authorities there announced that the country’s main export terminal for CPC Blend crude oil on the Black Sea had been forced to suspend operations following reported Ukrainian drone attacks. The disruption affected crude exports and reduced oil production. According to a source familiar with the situation, Kazakhstan’s crude oil output has fallen by nearly half, dropping to around 460,000 barrels per day. The decline has added to global supply concerns at a time when markets are already under pressure from geopolitical tensions.

    CHICAGO: The Chicago River turned bright yellow on Thursday as around 90,000 rubber ducks were released into the water for the annual Chicago Ducky Derby, a colorful charity event that draws thousands of spectators and raises funds for Special Olympics Illinois. The unusual race began when the huge collection of rubber ducks was dropped into the river from one side of a partially opened bridge. Within moments, the water was covered with thousands of small yellow ducks, creating a striking spectacle for people gathered along both sides of the river. The ducks remained in the water for roughly 15 minutes as they floated and moved with the river’s current. Organizers then retrieved the ducks from the water to determine the winning entries and ensure that the river was cleared of the race participants. Thousands of people attended the event, turning the annual derby into a lively festival. Spectators gathered along the riverbanks to watch the race, take photographs and support the charitable cause. Many participants and visitors also wore colorful T-shirts featuring rubber duck designs. The Ducky Derby is organized to support Special Olympics Illinois, helping raise thousands of dollars for programs and activities for athletes with intellectual disabilities. One of the highlights of this year’s event came when 13-year-old Special Olympics athlete and Ducky Derby ambassador Becky Cavanaugh selected the winning duck. Her announcement was met with cheers from enthusiastic crowds gathered along the river. Cavanaugh said one of the things she values most about being involved with the Special Olympics is the opportunity to meet and build friendships with other people. The Chicago Ducky Derby has become a popular annual tradition, combining entertainment, community participation and fundraising. The event gives spectators a memorable experience while contributing to programs designed to support Special Olympics athletes across Illinois.
