    China leans on AI forecasting tools as Typhoon Dol…

    China has ramped up investment in artificial intelligence powered weather forecasting as the country works to track a rising number of natural disasters and predict extreme weather events such as powerful typhoons, intense rainfall and prolonged heatwaves tied to climate change. The country has positioned itself as a leading force in data driven meteorology, increasingly running AI systems alongside traditional forecasting methods rather than replacing them outright. As meteorologists monitored Typhoon Dolphin’s approach toward China in recent days, a newer generation of AI weather models operated in parallel with conventional forecasting systems, underscoring China’s expanding role in the broader push to improve storm prediction. Unlike standard numerical weather models, which depend on powerful supercomputers to simulate the physics of the atmosphere, AI based systems instead learn from decades of historical weather data. That approach lets them generate forecasts within seconds or minutes while using only a small fraction of the computing power traditional methods require. According to a state affiliated newspaper, some of China’s most prominent AI forecasting tools include Fengwu, built by the Shanghai AI Laboratory, Huawei’s Pangu Weather system, and Fuxi, developed at Fudan University. These models are increasingly being put through real world testing during East Asia’s intense typhoon season, a period when even modest improvements in tracking a storm’s path can help authorities plan flood responses, coordinate evacuations and manage disruptions to transportation networks. Fengwu in particular has shown strong results in predicting storm trajectories, with researchers noting that AI based systems can produce forecasts far faster than conventional models while matching or, in some cases, surpassing them on certain accuracy measures. The rapid progress in AI driven weather forecasting has sparked growing competition among technology firms, research institutions and national meteorological agencies worldwide, with China establishing itself as one of the sector’s most active players. Even so, meteorologists caution that AI tools currently serve as a complement to physics based forecasting rather than a full replacement. These systems still struggle to accurately capture sudden shifts in storm intensity, and they remain largely untested when it comes to long term climate modeling. As a result, traditional forecasting methods are expected to remain a core part of weather prediction for the foreseeable future, even as AI tools continue to mature and take on a larger role alongside them. The push toward AI assisted forecasting fits into a broader global trend, as governments and research institutions increasingly explore machine learning as a tool for anticipating the growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather linked to a changing climate.

    Sher Afzal Marwat backs new provinces

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Sher Afzal Marwat has expressed support for the creation of new provinces in the country. Speaking to the media in Multan, Marwat said smaller administrative units were necessary for a fairer distribution of resources. He argued that the existing administrative structure should be reviewed to ensure that people in different regions receive their due share of development resources. According to Marwat, creating additional provinces could also bring governance closer to local communities. He said people living in smaller administrative units would have greater opportunities to participate in decision-making and manage their own affairs. The lawmaker stressed that local representation was important for effective governance. He maintained that smaller provinces could help authorities understand and address the specific needs of different regions. Marwat also called for support for the movement seeking the creation of smaller administrative provinces. He said the proposal should be considered as part of efforts to improve governance and ensure a more balanced distribution of resources. The debate over creating new provinces has remained a longstanding political and administrative issue in Pakistan. Supporters argue that smaller provinces could improve administration, strengthen local representation and reduce regional disparities. Opponents, however, have raised concerns about the political, constitutional and financial implications of creating new administrative units.

    FO rejects India’s criticism of AJK elections

    Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) has strongly rejected India’s criticism of the ongoing Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) legislative elections, saying New Delhi has neither the legal standing nor the moral authority to question the democratic process in the region. Speaking at the weekly media briefing on Thursday, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi dismissed remarks made by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which had described the AJK elections as a “farce.” He termed India’s comments baseless, politically motivated and an attempt to undermine a democratic process being conducted under the constitutional and legal framework of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Andrabi said the elections are taking place in a peaceful, transparent and orderly manner despite security challenges, reflecting the democratic aspirations and political will of the people of AJK. He added that Pakistan remains committed to ensuring a free and fair electoral process in the region. The spokesperson said India’s criticism comes as the seventh anniversary of New Delhi’s August 5, 2019 decision to revoke the special constitutional status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is being observed. He maintained that those unilateral measures violated international law, relevant United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and India’s own international commitments. He reiterated Pakistan’s position that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognised disputed territory, whose final status should be determined through a UN-supervised plebiscite in accordance with relevant UNSC resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. Andrabi also accused India of attempting to divert global attention from alleged human rights violations and restrictions on political freedoms in occupied Kashmir. He said references to casualty figures and other claims made by Indian authorities cannot overshadow concerns raised by the international community over the situation in the region. Responding to another question regarding India’s reaction to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s recent remarks on Youm-e-Istehsal, Andrabi described the Indian statement as an effort to justify its policies in occupied Kashmir. He alleged that a heavy military presence, strict security laws and demographic changes continue to affect the Muslim-majority character of the territory. He further claimed that development projects promoted by India cannot replace the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination

    Anya Taylor-Joy shares unfiltered take on method a…

    Anya Taylor-Joy is sparking fresh conversation about one of Hollywood’s most debated acting techniques. During a recent interview with Complex News, the acclaimed actress shared her candid thoughts on method acting, explaining why she believes many women approach the craft differently from their male counterparts. Rather than staying in character around the clock, Taylor-Joy said she prefers maintaining a healthy balance between her work and personal life.  The Queen’s Gambit and Furiosa star argued that women often have responsibilities outside of work that make it difficult to fully immerse themselves in a role 24 hours a day. “If you’ll notice, women don’t method act because we have things to take care of. We can’t completely lose our minds,” she explained during the interview. Her comments quickly gained attention online, with many fans praising her practical perspective on the demanding acting technique.  Although Taylor-Joy acknowledged that acting requires deep emotional commitment, she described it as a form of “controlled psychosis” rather than a lifestyle that should continue once filming stops. She believes actors must fully understand their characters while still remaining grounded in reality. According to the actress, maintaining that balance helps performers deliver authentic performances without allowing their roles to consume their everyday lives.  Taylor-Joy also stressed the importance of professionalism on set. She said actors have a responsibility to create a positive working environment for everyone involved in a production. Staying in character between takes, she suggested, should never come at the expense of treating fellow cast and crew members with kindness and respect. She added that becoming too invested in difficult characters could make collaboration far more challenging.  Her remarks arrive as method acting continues to divide opinion across the entertainment industry. While some performers believe the technique helps them deliver unforgettable performances, others argue that it has occasionally been used to justify disruptive behavior on set. Taylor-Joy’s perspective adds another voice to the ongoing discussion about whether complete immersion is truly necessary to create compelling performances.  The actress has built a reputation for portraying emotionally complex characters in projects such as The Witch, The Queen’s Gambit, Last Night in Soho, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Despite taking on psychologically demanding roles, she says she relies on self-awareness and support from those around her to stay emotionally healthy throughout the filmmaking process.  As Taylor-Joy prepares for future projects, including The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum and Dune: Part Three, her latest comments offer fans a revealing look into her creative philosophy. Rather than embracing extreme methods, she believes great performances come from empathy, discipline, and emotional control. Her thoughtful approach suggests that, for her, the best acting happens when talent and professionalism work hand in hand.
