Sindh High Court forcibly retires senior civil jud…

The Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court has ordered the compulsory retirement of Senior Civil Judge Ayaz Ali after corruption allegations against him were found to be proven following a departmental inquiry.

According to the inspection team, the inquiry established misconduct on the part of the senior civil judge. The investigation was carried out in detail by Inquiry Officer Justice Shamsuddin Abbasi, who examined the allegations and submitted his findings after completing the proceedings.

The inspection team said the competent authority had initially recommended the judge’s dismissal from service. However, after conducting the final hearing and reviewing all available facts and evidence, the Chief Justice decided to impose the penalty of compulsory retirement instead of outright dismissal.

Officials said the decision was made after completing all legal and administrative procedures related to the disciplinary case. The punishment was finalized following a comprehensive review of the inquiry report and the recommendations submitted by the relevant authorities.

The inspection team further stated that the Sindh High Court’s order has come into immediate effect. As a result, Senior Civil Judge Ayaz Ali has been compulsorily retired from judicial service in accordance with the court’s disciplinary decision.

The action reflects the judiciary’s internal accountability process, under which complaints of misconduct against judicial officers are investigated through formal inquiries before disciplinary measures are taken. The latest order concludes the proceedings against the senior civil judge and has been enforced with immediate effect.

    Twelve people died and dozens more sustained injuries after a bus carrying Polish pilgrims veered off a motorway in Hungary and crashed into a ditch early Sunday. Police said the bus overturned after leaving the M3 motorway, which links the Hungarian capital Budapest with the northeastern city of Nyíregyháza, at around 1:00 a.m. local time, or 2300 GMT Saturday.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar offered his condolences to the victims’ families and wished the injured a swift recovery. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed those sentiments and said he had ordered a special Polish aircraft carrying foreign ministry officials and medical personnel to travel to the scene, saying Poland stands together with those affected during the difficult moment. The bus had been returning from Bosnia and Herzegovina and was carrying pilgrims from Poland’s southernmost region of Podkarpacie, according to the Polish news agency PAP. Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said his Hungarian counterpart informed him that police had already begun questioning the driver as part of the investigation into the crash.

    Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend breaks silence over past relationship rumours

    Lamine Yamal has been riding a wave of attention ever since his standout performance helped Spain defeat Argentina in the FIFA World Cup. But as the football world celebrated his success, the spotlight quickly turned toward his personal life, and specifically, toward his girlfriend. Social media influencer Inés García Santos found herself at the center of an online storm after rumours claimed she had ended a five-year relationship simply to pursue Yamal. The 21-year-old initially brushed off the speculation, saying she had not planned on addressing it or giving it any weight. Despite her attempt to stay silent, and no verified source backing the claims about her past relationship, the rumours kept spreading across social platforms. Users speculated endlessly about her reasons for supposedly leaving her ex-partner. Some accused her of chasing fame, while others suggested she was simply drawn to dating someone famous. Several commenters even urged Yamal to be cautious about the people around him, with one particularly harsh remark suggesting she might be using him for his status and money. Faced with the growing wave of hostility, García eventually decided to respond. In a post shared on X, she admitted she had not expected something so minor to spiral the way it did. She said she had spent hours reading through the comments and tried to stay strong. She however, wanted to remind people that she is a human too, someone capable of feeling hurt, making mistakes, and experiencing emotions just like anyone else. She acknowledged that not everyone has to like her, and said she welcomes fair and respectful criticism. But she drew a clear line between having an opinion and using that opinion as an excuse to demean, insult, or wish harm on someone you do not personally know. García also appealed for more compassion from online users. She reminded them that the person on the receiving end of their comments has loved ones, insecurities, and feelings, and that words carry more weight than people often realize. She made clear she was not trying to win anyone over, only asking for basic empathy and kindness, stressing that no one should have to endure a flood of hateful messages. Notably, García had already drawn public attention before Spain’s win over Argentina, when she confidently predicted the team’s victory and praised Yamal as the best player on the pitch.

    Stephen Mangan compares acting craft to playing chess

    Stephen Mangan has opened up about how he continues sharpening his acting skills after years in the industry. The British actor shared his approach in a recent chat with Candis magazine. Known for stepping across acting, comedy and presenting, Mangan expressed genuine happiness with the variety his career has offered. He’s currently linked to “The Truth” on the West End stage. He said he feels genuinely delighted to stay busy with work that actually interests him. According to Mangan, variety has always been the spice of life for him professionally.

He seemed genuinely surprised by his own journey into entertainment. When asked about his secret to improving as an actor, Mangan offered an unexpected comparison.

According to Mangan, working alongside talented collaborators has consistently pushed him to grow, something he considers himself fortunate to have experienced throughout his career. Looking ahead, Mangan revealed he is eager to explore more stage work and potentially even musical theatre. He admitted there are several plays he’d love to take on in the future.

    Jeff Bezos throws weight behind $2.6B AI startup fixing the chip material crunch

    Jeff Bezos has placed his bet on CuspAI, an artificial intelligence startup working to discover and design advanced materials for the next generation of computer chips. The investment aims squarely at the material shortage behind the ongoing chip crisis that has rattled the tech industry over the past several months. This is not  CuspAI’s first big funding win. Back in July, the company closed a $450 million Series B round, pushing its valuation to $2.6 billion. That round pulled in heavyweight backers, including Bezos Expeditions, AMD Ventures, Nvidia, and Meta. CuspAI was founded in 2024 with a much narrower focus. Originally, the company built AI tools to identify and test materials for water purification and carbon capture projects. Since then, its mission has grown considerably. By expanding into AI infrastructure and chip materials, the startup now positions itself as a possible fix during a period of serious supply chain strain. One of CuspAI’s key advantages lies in finding substitutes. The company’s AI can search for alternative materials that mimic the properties of scarce elements like tantalum, gallium, and iridium. These elements are becoming harder to source as demand climbs, particularly with the explosion of AI infrastructure worldwide. The International Energy Agency has already flagged concerns that data centre demand for gallium could outpace supply within the next few years. Adding to the pressure, rising geopolitical tension between the US and China over rare earth minerals continues to complicate global supply chains. Analysts have pointed to this rift as a growing risk factor for tech manufacturers everywhere. Beyond securing fresh funding, CuspAI has also launched something bigger: the AI Materials Foundry. This initiative brings together more than 45 major industry players under one coalition, including tech giants like Nvidia, Samsung, Meta, and Hyundai Motor Group. The goal is to pool resources and expertise as the industry races to solve its materials bottleneck. With Bezos now backing the effort directly, CuspAI’s profile in the AI and semiconductor space is only expected to grow. As chip shortages continue to challenge manufacturers worldwide, the company’s approach of using AI to hunt for alternative materials could prove critical in keeping production on track.
