Turmoil in the National Assembly: How much power does the Speaker have to maintain order in the House?

Tuesday's session of Pakistan's National Assembly was marred by riots in which opposition and government member’s clashed, non-parliamentary language was used and copies of the budget were used as weapons, prompting some MPs to resign. There are also reports of injuries. These videos of the proceedings of the House went viral on social media.

The National Assembly session was adjourned till Wednesday after a commotion in the House on Tuesday, after which the Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaisad in a tweet described the events in the Assembly as disappointing. He said a full investigation into the incident would be carried out and members using non-parliamentary language would not be allowed to enter the house on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Speaker Asad Qaiser, using his powers, not only directed Sergeant at Arms to stop the commotion, but at his request, the Upper House also handed over additional personnel of Sergeant at Arms to the National Assembly Secretariat.

These sergeants can also forcibly remove a member of the National Assembly from the House on the orders of the Speaker. However, Speaker Asad Qaiser has not yet exercised his powers and has only announced an inquiry.

Feroz Abdullah: Accused smokes 'full of marijuana' and drives car to Polish President's delegation at Karachi Airport

 

Feroz Abdullah: Accused smokes 'full of marijuana' and drives car to Polish President's delegation at Karachi Airport

Muhammad Feroz Abdullah's face was covered with a black veil and the gallows door was opened for him. And as is often the case on this occasion, the prison officials supported Feroz to climb the plank, the executioner put a noose around his neck and tied both legs with ropes.

As soon as the lever of the gallows under Feroz's feet was pulled, it was removed with a jerk and his body was suspended in the air.

This is the scene of an execution in Karachi Central Jail half a century ago, on July 14, 1971.

Feroze was accused of plotting to assassinate Polish President Marian Spikhelsky and his entourage in Pakistan. Four people were killed and more than a dozen were injured in what became known as the Polish Deputy Foreign Minister.

But how this story began and what motivated this attack on foreign high profile guests is an interesting story.

Polish President's visit to Pakistan

Dutch President Marian Spikhelsky arrived in Pakistan on October 28, 1970 on a five-day visit. His delegation included his wife, Barbara Istikharsky, the Deputy Foreign Minister, and his wife and other officials.

During their stay, they signed memoranda of economic cooperation, including in the shipping industry. Apart from meeting President Yahya Khan, he also visited the Badshahi Mosque and other places in Lahore.

Poland was under Soviet rule in the days of the Communist government. Marian Spikhelsky was the first Polish president to visit Pakistan.

Islamic system and socialist ideology

The first general elections in Pakistan were to be held in December 1970, two months after the arrival of the Polish President.

The political climate in the country was such that Maulana Maudoodi, the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami, and Mufti Mahmood, the head of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, were speaking across the country in favor of the Islamic system of government, while PPP chief Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a supporter of socialism and Awami League chief Sheikh Mujibur Rehman was also a progressive.

In the seventies, socialism was popular in many countries of the world, a middle class was born due to the industrial revolution.

In the midst of the same political climate in Akistan, on February 24, 1970, more than a hundred religious scholars from all over Pakistan, including scholars from all schools of thought, called socialism and communism "infidel systems" and issued a joint fatwa stating that such Voting for parties, participating in political activities with them, or financing them is tantamount to aiding disbelief, which promotes a philosophy based on socialism, and is even trying to introduce such a system in Pakistan. Are

In a research paper for the Polish national agency IPN, researcher Paul Maginsky writes that President Marian Spikhelsky was informed by Polish authorities that anti-communist protests could take place during his visit to Pakistan.

Ending Netanyahu's 12-year rule in Israel, parliament approves new coalition government

 

Ending Netanyahu's 12-year rule in Israel, parliament approves new coalition government

Israel's parliament on Sunday approved the formation of a new coalition government, ending Benjamin Netanyahu's 12-year rule.

Right-wing nationalist Naphtali Bennett has been sworn in as the new prime minister and has led a change of government.

In his address, he vowed to unite the nation in four elections in two years of political stalemate.

He said his government would work for all people and its priorities would be education, health and reform.

"This is not a day of grief," said Bennett, 49. In a democracy, change of government is enough.

"We will do what we can and no one needs to feel intimidated," he said. And I tell those who are going to celebrate tonight not to dance to the pain of the people. We are not enemies, we are not one people. "

Naftali Bennett, who heads the Yamina party in the power-sharing deal, will hold the post until September 2023, while power will be handed over for another two years to Yair Lapid, the leader of the centrist Yash Atid.

The new government, a coalition of different parties, has a slim majority of just one seat.

On the other hand, Palestinian representatives have rejected the new government.

A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said: "This is an internal Israeli affair. Our position has always been clear: what we want is a Palestinian state on the border in 1967 as the capital of Jerusalem.

A spokesman for the Islamist group Hamas, which controls Gaza, said it was an occupation and a colonial entity that we must resist with forces to regain our rights.

The US president has sent a message of congratulations to the Israeli prime minister and has vowed to continue working with him.

On Sunday, Bennett thanked Mr. Netanyahu for his years of service to Israel.

He said the new alliance would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu has been Israel's longest-serving prime minister and has dominated the political horizon for years. Netanyahu will remain the leader of the Likud party in the opposition.

The heat wave and the human body

 The heat wave and the human body

Whether we are in a blizzard or in a heat wave, our body tries to maintain a temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at which our body has learned to work.

But as the mercury rises, the body has difficulty keeping its core temperature low. In these cases, our body opens the arteries near the skin so that we can sweat and lower our body temperature.

Sweat dries out and dramatically increases the heat released from the skin.

When does the problem arise?

This process sounds simple, but it puts a lot of pressure on the body, that is, the higher the temperature, the more pressure on the body.

These open arteries lower blood pressure and our heart has to work harder to get blood to the body. Inflammation of the open arteries can cause swelling in the feet and itching on the scalp.

But if the blood pressure drops significantly, less blood will reach the organs of the body that need it the most and the risk of heart attack will increase.

At the same time, dehydration due to sweating changes their balance in the body.

 These symptoms may be accompanied by low blood pressure due to low blood pressure which may include: dizziness, fainting, confusion, nausea, muscle spasms, headache, severe sweating. And feeling tired.

What to do if someone has a fever?

If the body temperature drops in half an hour, there is nothing to worry about.

The British National Health Service recommends that:

Move the infected person to a cool place.

Lay them down and raise their feet slightly.

Give them plenty of water, or rehydration drinks or beverages.

Cool their skin, spray it with cold water and let the fan blow. An ice pack can also be placed near the armpits and neck.

However, if they do not feel better within 30 minutes, it means they have a heatstroke. This is an emergency and you should call the medical staff immediately.

Can heat cause death?

Yes. About 2,000 people die each year in the UK due to the heat.

Most of these deaths are due to a heart attack or stroke because lowering the body temperature puts pressure on the heart.

An estimated 70,000 additional deaths were caused by heatwaves in Europe in 2003.

Temperature during day and night

During the day, when the sun is at the head, the temperature will also rise, but at night, the temperature also plays an important role. This is because our body needs a break.

If the pressure on the body to keep the core temperature low is maintained day and night, the risk of developing many diseases will increase.

So what about heat?

The suggestion is very simple and straightforward. Stay cool and don't dehydrate.

Keep drinking water and milk. Tea and coffee are also fine. But avoid alcohol as it can cause dehydration in your body. Just keep your body cool. If it is very hot outside, keep the windows closed and do not remove the curtains.

 

Jupiter: the closest image to Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system

 

Jupiter: the closest image to Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system

NASA's Juno mission has sent images of one of Jupiter's four moons, Ganymede. It is the largest natural planet in the solar system and the largest moon.

These pictures were taken from a distance of about a thousand kilometers.

This is the first time in more than 20 years that a spacecraft has come so close to Ganymede.

This was a great opportunity for the Juno Mission. Its goals include research on Jupiter. But the European Space Agency will soon send a special mission here.

Jupiter will pass close to the two Galilean moons of Jupiter's IC Moon Explorer or Jupiter (Callisto and Europa). It will then enter the orbit of Ganymede. The mission is expected in 2032.

Images from Venus show this large moon in great detail. It can be seen in these pictures that there are cracks on the surface of Ganymede.

These images will be compared to images from NASA's missions Galileo (1995 to 2003) and Voyager (1979) to see what changes have taken place in Ganymede over time. Also read

 What is China's objection to Bangladesh's possible inclusion in the Quad Alliance?

China has recently warned Bangladesh to join the US-led Quad Alliance.

The warning from China was given by Chinese Ambassador Li Jeming in a meeting with reporters, which appeared to be very aggressive and premeditated by China. But anger is being expressed in India over this.

The warning from China is not unexpected, as China is keeping a close eye on US actions in the region. The United States is strengthening its ties with countries in the region, and Quad is one such link.

China has been expressing concern over US activities in the region at the diplomatic level and through the media. China's state-run Global Times quoted Li Jimming as saying that the United States was trying to create misunderstandings between China and Bangladesh.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned a few weeks ago that "if you are willing to lose all your money, buy it (cryptocurrency)."

Nobel laureates in economics Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman and Robert Schiller are also critics of cryptocurrencies, but they do not predict that these currencies will suddenly disappear one day.

Reacting to the killing of four members of a Pakistani-born Muslim family in the Canadian province of Ontario, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the fact is that most Canadians are aware of this fear. There are no Canadian Muslims who feel threatened by racism.
