ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s top investigation agency has arrested an opposition leader, who is a close aide of convicted former Prime Minister Imran Khan, for exposing official secrets and harming state interests, according to case documents revealed Sunday.It’s the latest development in a standoff between the administration of outgoing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his predecessor Khan, who was jailed earlier this month on graft charges. Shah Mahmood Qureshi was arrested Saturday night at his Islamabad home by the Federal Investigation Agency on charges of exposing a letter last year to claim that Khan was ousted from power by the U.S. The letter has not been made public but was apparently diplomatic correspondence between a Pakistani ambassador to Washington and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad.Cricketing hero Khan was booted out of parliament in April 2022 in a no-confidence vote.

Someone referred to it as “the biggest show in the history of Menlo Park.”Not sure if that says more about the band that was playing or the city the band was playing in.Either way, it sure was cool to get to see Duran Duran — an act that is typically found rocking arenas — play before some 500 lucky fans at the Guild Theatre on Saturday (Aug. 19).“It’s a lovely way to start the second leg of the North American tour,” vocalist Simon Le Bon said. to the adoring crowd. “And to do something useful.”The purpose of the visit was to raise money for the fight against prostrate cancer, a cause that has been very dear to these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ hearts ever since Andy Taylor — the band’s former guitarist — revealed he had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostrate cancer some years back. Money raised at the event went to the U.K.-based charity the Cancer Awareness Trust.“I’ve got to tell you, (Tayl...España vs. Inglaterra, final del Mundial Femenino 2023: cuándo es, a qué hora y cómo verlo en vivo

(CNN Español) — Tras un mes de actividad constante y de partidos llenos de drama, la Copa Mundial Femenina 2023 de la FIFA llega a su culminación con sus dos finalistas: España e Inglaterra.Por un lado, la selección española alcanzó la final del Mundial Femenino tras vencer por 2-1 a su similar de Suecia en lo que fue un encuentro altamente cardiaco y probablemente uno de los mejores del torneo.Y por el otro, el conjunto inglés logró avanzar a la final luego de derrotar 3-1 a Australia, que, junto con Nueva Zelandia, fue el país anfitrión del certamen más importante a nivel selecciones en el fútbol femenino.Las Leonas llegan como las favoritas para ganar el Mundial por dos razones, principalmente: llega como la actual campeona de Europa (tras vencer a Alemania en la Eurocopa 2022) y, además, se encuentra invicta en esta copa del mundo.En tanto, la Furia Roja buscará su revancha, ya que en la Euro 2022 fue eliminada por Inglaterra en cuartos de final.Pase lo que pase, tendremos...MLB Notes: AL East may be strongest division ever, but for how much longer?
Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 12:35:43 GMT
This year’s AL East is on track to be the strongest division in MLB history.Up until this week, when the New York Yankees dipped below .500 amid their ongoing swoon, all five AL East teams had been above .500 for the majority of the season. Entering the weekend the division’s collective win percentage was .554, which is the best for a five-team division in MLB history.It’s been a gauntlet for a couple of years now. Last year’s AL East set a new record with a .540 win percentage, and in 2021 four of the five teams topped 90 wins.Is this how it’s going to be from now on? Are these five teams destined to do battle forever?Perhaps not.As strong as the AL East is right now, the cracks are beginning to show and it won’t be a shock if a couple of former contenders began taking a step back.Baltimore seems like the only sure thing. The Orioles have emerged from the other side of their years-long rebuild and now rank among the best teams in baseball.
