Iran says oil tanker caught fire after hitting mines east of Hormuz

Iran's navy said an oil tanker caught fire after striking naval mines east of the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. Tehran accused the vessel of entering a prohibited area with its tracking systems switched off. The incident adds to shipping fears in the region, where tensions have already pushed oil prices higher after attacks in Saudi Arabia and fighting near the Bab al-Mandeb strait.

ایران کی بحریہ نے کہا ہے کہ بدھ کو آبنائے ہرمز کے مشرق میں بارودی سرنگوں سے ٹکرانے کے بعد ایک آئل ٹینکر میں آگ لگ گئی۔ تہران نے الزام لگایا کہ یہ جہاز اپنا ٹریکنگ نظام بند کر کے ممنوعہ علاقے میں داخل ہوا تھا۔ اس واقعے سے خطے میں جہاز رانی کے خدشات بڑھ گئے ہیں، جہاں سعودی عرب میں حملوں اور باب المندب کے قریب لڑائی کے بعد تیل کی قیمتیں پہلے ہی بڑھ چکی ہیں۔

Republican senator backs Democrat in Alaska governor race

ریپبلکن سینیٹر نے الاسکا گورنر کی دوڑ میں ڈیموکریٹ کی حمایت کر دی

Republican senator backs Democrat in Alaska governor race

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and her father, former Senator Frank Murkowski, have endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska. He is competing against three Republicans to succeed Governor Mike Dunleavy, who cannot seek another term because of term limits. Kreiss-Tomkins holds a clear lead in polling, helped by the Republican vote being split among three contenders. Murkowski said Alaska needs the perspective he would bring to the governor's office, while also endorsing Republican Senator Dan Sullivan for re-election.

ریپبلکن سینیٹر لیزا مرکووسکی اور ان کے والد سابق سینیٹر فرینک مرکووسکی نے الاسکا کے گورنر کے لیے ڈیموکریٹ جوناتھن کریس ٹامکنز کی حمایت کر دی ہے۔ وہ گورنر مائیک ڈنلیوی کی جگہ لینے کے لیے تین ریپبلکن امیدواروں کا مقابلہ کر رہے ہیں، ڈنلیوی مدت کی حد کی وجہ سے دوبارہ انتخاب نہیں لڑ سکتے۔ پولنگ میں کریس ٹامکنز کو واضح برتری حاصل ہے، کیونکہ ریپبلکن ووٹ تین امیدواروں میں بٹ گیا ہے۔

Stocks extend rally on peace optimism after smaller-than-feared rate hike

Pakistani shares extended their rally as investors welcomed the State Bank's moderate 50-basis-point policy rate rise, smaller than the 100-point increase some had feared amid high oil prices and geopolitical tension. Sentiment was also helped by easing tensions as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye held high-level talks in Iran on a peaceful end to the US-Iran conflict. The State Bank also reported $17.2 billion in net foreign exchange interventions between June 2024 and July 2026.

ACLU warns police AI stops flag drivers who broke no law

The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that US police are increasingly using artificial intelligence and automatic licence-plate readers to flag drivers as suspicious based on their travel patterns, even when they are not suspected of any crime. The group says the practice can lead to pretextual stops, where officers cite a minor traffic offence while their real interest lies in surveillance data, and warns that far more innocent people than wrongdoers could be swept in.

امریکن سول لبرٹیز یونین نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ امریکی پولیس مصنوعی ذہانت اور خودکار نمبر پلیٹ ریڈر کے ذریعے ڈرائیوروں کے سفر کے انداز کی بنیاد پر انہیں مشکوک قرار دے رہی ہے، حالانکہ ان پر کسی جرم کا شبہ نہیں ہوتا۔ تنظیم کا کہنا ہے کہ اس عمل سے ایسی روک تھام بڑھ سکتی ہے جس میں افسر معمولی ٹریفک خلاف ورزی کا بہانہ بنائیں جبکہ اصل دلچسپی نگرانی کے ڈیٹا میں ہو، اور خبردار کیا ہے کہ اس سے مجرموں سے زیادہ بے قصور لوگ متاثر ہو سکتے ہیں۔

US consumer confidence rises to 91.7 in October, back to June levels

United States consumer confidence rose by 7.5 points to 91.7 in October, up from 84.2 in September, according to the Conference Board. The recovery brought confidence back to June levels and was in line with retail gasoline prices easing from September to October. However, the board said confidence remained on a long-term downward trend seen over the past few years. Consumers' average expectations for inflation over the next 12 months eased but stayed elevated at 5.8 percent.

کانفرنس بورڈ کے مطابق اکتوبر میں امریکی صارفین کا اعتماد 7.5 پوائنٹس بڑھ کر 91.7 ہوگیا، جو ستمبر میں 84.2 تھا۔ اس بہتری سے اعتماد جون کی سطح پر واپس آگیا، اور اس کی وجہ ستمبر سے اکتوبر تک پیٹرول کی قیمتوں میں کمی بتائی گئی ہے۔ تاہم بورڈ کا کہنا ہے کہ اعتماد گزشتہ چند سالوں سے جاری طویل مدتی کمی کے رجحان پر ہی ہے۔ اگلے 12 ماہ میں مہنگائی کے بارے میں صارفین کی اوسط توقعات کم ہوئیں مگر 5.8 فیصد پر بلند رہیں۔

Israel exit polls point to hung parliament, Likud stays largest party

Exit polls from Israel's parliamentary election point to a hung parliament, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot reaching the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Likud is projected to remain the largest single party with around 24 to 27 seats, while Eisenkot's Yashar party follows with about 21 to 23. Arab-led parties are projected to win 17 to 18 seats, a record showing that could make them kingmakers, though forming a coalition looks difficult. Turnout topped 77 percent, the highest since 1999, and final results are expected in the coming days.

اسرائیل کے پارلیمانی انتخابات کے ایگزٹ پولز کے مطابق کسی بھی بلاک کو واضح اکثریت نہیں ملی۔ وزیر اعظم بنجمن نیتن یاہو کے بلاک اور گاڈی آئزن کوٹ کی قیادت والی اپوزیشن دونوں 120 رکنی کنیسٹ میں 61 نشستوں کے ہدف تک نہیں پہنچ سکے۔ لیکود تقریباً 24 سے 27 نشستوں کے ساتھ سب سے بڑی جماعت رہنے کی توقع ہے، جبکہ یاشار پارٹی کو 21 سے 23 نشستیں ملنے کا امکان ہے۔ عرب جماعتوں کو 17 سے 18 نشستیں ملنے کی پیش گوئی ہے، جو ایک ریکارڈ ہے۔ ووٹنگ کی شرح 77 فیصد سے زیادہ رہی، جو 1999 کے بعد سب سے زیادہ ہے، اور حتمی نتائج آنے والے دنوں میں آئیں گے۔

Talarico vows to take back Texas as Trump and Musk rally behind Paxton

Democrat James Talarico has vowed to take back Texas in the state's closely watched Senate race, taking aim at what he calls the corrupting influence of big money in politics. He faces Republican Ken Paxton, who is backed by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, with Musk reported to have put about $200 million behind the Republican campaign. Trump has visited Texas three times in a month in a last-minute push to keep the state in Republican hands, while Talarico argues that wealthy donors are making life harder for ordinary families. The race is being watched across the country as an early test of the mood ahead of the midterms.

DNA closes 52-year-old Utah cold case, linking Ted Bundy to 1974 killing

Utah authorities have closed a 52-year-old cold case, saying DNA evidence links serial killer Ted Bundy to the 1974 killing of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith. Her body was found by a hunter in Summit County in October 1974, and the case stayed unsolved for more than five decades. Investigators matched a DNA profile from Smith's case with one from another Utah teenager, Laura Ann Aime, whose killing was tied to Bundy earlier this year. Officials said the pattern of the crime also matched Bundy's methods. Bundy was executed in Florida in 1989 and cannot be prosecuted, but officials said closing the case gives the family long-awaited answers.

یوٹاہ کے حکام نے 52 سال پرانا مقدمہ بند کر دیا ہے اور کہا ہے کہ ڈی این اے شواہد سے سیریل کلر ٹیڈ بنڈی کا تعلق 1974 میں 17 سالہ میلیسا این اسمتھ کے قتل سے جڑتا ہے۔ ان کی لاش اکتوبر 1974 میں سمٹ کاؤنٹی میں ایک شکاری کو ملی تھی اور مقدمہ پانچ دہائیوں سے زیادہ حل نہ ہو سکا۔ تفتیش کاروں نے اسمتھ کے مقدمے کا ڈی این اے پروفائل ایک اور یوٹاہ لڑکی لورا این ایمی کے مقدمے سے ملایا، جس کا قتل اس سال کے شروع میں بنڈی سے جوڑا گیا تھا۔ حکام کا کہنا ہے کہ جرم کا انداز بھی بنڈی کے طریقے سے ملتا ہے۔ بنڈی کو 1989 میں فلوریڈا میں سزائے موت دی گئی تھی، اس لیے اس پر مقدمہ نہیں چل سکتا، لیکن حکام کا کہنا ہے کہ مقدمہ بند ہونے سے خاندان کو دیرینہ جواب مل گیا ہے۔

Chelsea striker Joao Pedro out for weeks with thigh injury

Chelsea striker Joao Pedro will be out for a few weeks with a thigh injury, head coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed.

Pedro has scored five league goals this season and has been central to Chelsea's front line alongside Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers. Alonso said he would not predict an exact return date but insisted the squad has the depth to cope, starting with the cup trip to Liverpool.

Trump says his Netanyahu endorsement turned the tide in Israel election

US President Donald Trump has claimed that his endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu changed the course of Israel's election. In a post shared on Wednesday, Trump said Netanyahu had been heading for a decisive defeat, but that after the endorsement the race turned into a come-from-behind stalemate, or even a possible win. Exit polls from Tuesday's vote had pointed to a hung parliament, with neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition reaching the seats needed for a majority.

امریکی صدر ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ نے دعویٰ کیا ہے کہ اسرائیلی وزیر اعظم بنجمن نیتن یاہو کی حمایت نے اسرائیل کے انتخابات کا رخ بدل دیا۔ بدھ کو جاری ایک بیان میں ٹرمپ نے کہا کہ نیتن یاہو کو واضح شکست کا سامنا تھا، لیکن ان کی حمایت کے بعد مقابلہ برابر ہو گیا اور اب جیت بھی ممکن ہے۔ منگل کے انتخابات کے ابتدائی نتائج میں کسی بھی بلاک کو اکثریت ملتی نظر نہیں آئی تھی۔

King Charles opens Caribbean tour acknowledging slavery's suffering

Britain's King Charles has opened a nine-day Caribbean tour in the Bahamas, saying it is only right to acknowledge the great suffering and injustices of the past. The tour also covers Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda, where he will attend next week's Commonwealth summit, at which Caribbean leaders are expected to press demands for reparations for slavery and colonialism. Buckingham Palace has said the King will address the legacy of slavery during the trip, but will not offer a formal apology or financial reparations, in line with British government policy. Climate threats facing low-lying islands are another theme of the visit.

برطانیہ کے شاہ چارلس نے بہاماس میں نو روزہ کیریبین دورے کا آغاز کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ماضی کے بڑے مظالم اور ناانصافیوں کا اعتراف کرنا ہی درست ہے۔ یہ دورہ گیانا اور اینٹیگوا و باربوڈا تک جائے گا، جہاں وہ آئندہ ہفتے دولت مشترکہ سربراہی اجلاس میں شرکت کریں گے۔ کیریبین رہنما وہاں غلامی اور نوآبادیات کے ازالے کا مطالبہ کرنے والے ہیں۔ بکنگھم پیلس کے مطابق شاہ غلامی کی میراث پر بات کریں گے، لیکن برطانوی حکومت کی پالیسی کے مطابق باقاعدہ معافی یا مالی ازالہ پیش نہیں کریں گے۔

Malaysia seizes $12.1 million worth of AI chips at main airport

ملائیشیا نے ہوائی اڈے سے 1 کروڑ 21 لاکھ ڈالر کے اے آئی چپس ضبط کر لیے

Malaysia seizes $12.1 million worth of AI chips at main airport

Malaysian customs say they seized advanced artificial intelligence chips worth about $12.1 million this month at the country's main airport. Officers found 30 server units containing the chips on October 15 during an inspection at Kuala Lumpur International Airport's free trade zone. Officials said the servers were falsely declared as electronic components and were meant to be re-exported to another Asian country without the required permit. Malaysia imposed export controls on advanced US-origin AI chips last year, following pressure from the United States to stop them reaching China.

ملائیشیا کے کسٹم حکام نے ملک کے مرکزی ہوائی اڈے سے تقریباً 1 کروڑ 21 لاکھ ڈالر مالیت کے جدید مصنوعی ذہانت چپس ضبط کر لیے ہیں۔ 15 اکتوبر کو کوالالمپور انٹرنیشنل ایئرپورٹ کے فری ٹریڈ زون میں معائنے کے دوران 30 سرور یونٹس ملے جن میں یہ چپس تھیں۔ حکام کے مطابق سرورز کو غلط طور پر الیکٹرانک پرزے ظاہر کیا گیا تھا اور انہیں بغیر اجازت نامے کے کسی دوسرے ایشیائی ملک بھیجا جانا تھا۔ ملائیشیا نے گزشتہ سال امریکی ساختہ جدید اے آئی چپس کی برآمد پر پابندیاں لگائی تھیں۔
