Pakistan’s central bank held its key policy rate citing economic uncertainty after oil prices surged as the Strait of Hormuz remained largely closed and the US threatened to deepen a conflict that has upended energy markets. The decision was taken to keep the rate at 10.5%, the central bank said in a statement on Monday. Majority analysts predicted that the central bank will keep interest rates unchanged, according to a Bloomberg survey. Pakistan is particularly vulnerable as oil surges toward $120 a barrel, given its heavy reliance on imported fuel that widens the current-account deficit and adds to inflation, already running at 7%. A sustained spike could pressure the rupee and complicate its commitments under the IMF program aimed at stabilizing the economy. The government increased fuel prices to unprecedented level over the weekend with 55 rupees hike which further add pressure on the price gauge. “The 55 rupees hike in fuel prices will have a ripple effect and inflation may accelerate around 9.25% in the last quarter (April-June),” said Muhammad Awais Ashraf , Director Research at AKD Securities. The government has projected 4.2% growth for the fiscal year that began in July 2025, a target that now looks increasingly difficult amid the Middle East crisis, heavy monsoon floods that displaced three million people, and supply-chain disruptions linked to clashes with Afghanistan.

It’s not the heart, but the stomach that will sometimes define whether a budding romance proves food for the soul, or reaches boiling point … For Anna Jones , it’s lemons . For Ben Benton, it’s rice . For Gurdeep Loyal , it’s anchovies on pizza and, for me, it’s Yorkshire Tea in the morning. I could – did – date someone who “didn’t drink hot drinks”, but I would never have married a man I couldn’t make tea for when I woke up, or who couldn’t make me tea in turn. These are what I’ve come to call “meal-breakers” – mouthfuls whose joys we feel our loved one must share, if we’re to share our lives with them. They are foods and drinks we cleave to as much for what they say about us and our values as we do for their smell, texture and taste. For most, it’s not so much the meal as the principle it conveys; not the anchovies on pizza so much as being with “someone who appreciates food as an act of collective joy – that embraces an ethos of all plates being communal,” says Loyal, author of the cookbook Flavour Heroes . The meticulous divvying-up of brown, salty silvers to ensure an even distribution on each pizza slice: that’s the sharing ethos he looks for in a potential soulmate. Continue reading...

Yes, we all know blueberries and kale are good for us. But what about some of the other less well-marketed food heroes that have fallen out of favour? Think of a superfood. What comes to mind? Avocado? Turmeric? Quinoa? Many of us will have a grasp of the most mainstream so-called superfoods. The ones that have become dietary superheroes thanks to savvy marketing. Larger-than-life in the public imagination, they walk among us with a sheen: blueberries with their polyphenols; kale and its vitamin K; goji berries and all their antioxidants. But what is and isn’t a superfood is actually down to trends – take the current resurgence of a previously shunned, tragically uncool food: cottage cheese . Beloved by Richard Nixon with pineapple ( the Watergate tapes weren’t just illuminating in the ways Woodward and Bernstein hoped for ) and a diet-culture favourite in the 60s and 70s, the creamy, tangy cheese curd concoction is back. And there are other supposed superfoods that are just as nutrient-rich, but that marketing hasn’t (yet) brought to our attention. Once a regular part of the UK diet, they have fallen, perhaps unfairly, out of favour. So which foods with serious nutritional chops have we forgotten? Which should we reintegrate?

The company’s clash with the Pentagon is a fight over the future of American privacy The US military wants to use its state-of-the-art AI tools to supercharge surveillance against Americans, making it easier than ever to monitor our movements, our search history, and our private associations. That’s one of the major takeaways from a dramatic dispute between the Department of Defense and some of the leading AI companies in America. What this clash highlights most of all, however, is just how easily AI surveillance systems can be turned against the people in this country, and the urgent need for Congress to intervene. Last week, the Pentagon and Donald Trump announced that the government would cease using Anthropic’s AI products , asserting that the safety guardrails proposed by the company – no mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons – were unacceptable. The Trump administration went even further, claiming that these positions render Anthropic a “ supply chain risk ”, and prohibited anyone doing business with the US military from conducting commercial activity with Anthropic in their military work.

The tankers were already at sea – Russian crude, loaded and paid for, stranded in limbo by the disruptions sweeping out of the war on Iran They needed a waiver, which US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Thursday: a 30-day exemption allowing Indian refiners to receive the cargoes before American sanctions expired.

In ancient China, patriarchal and feudal norms limited women’s control over reproduction, forcing many to endure risky contraceptive methods. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of the earliest known contraceptives in China was a herb called Gurong. Its taste was extremely bitter, its leaves resembled orchids and its roots were similar to those of the balloon flower. Advertisement During the pre-Qin period (2100–221), people believed that consuming Gurong, a plant that only bloomed but did not bear fruit, could prevent pregnancy, though modern science has not confirmed this.

Chimps' taste for fermented fruit hints at origins of human love of alcohol toggle caption Sharifah Namaganda For 11 days in late summer 2025, Aleksey Maro found himself in the Ugandan rainforest, doing whatever he could to collect chimpanzee urine. "The most consistent, predictable time is in the morning, just like people, the first thing they do when they wake up is they go pee," says Maro, a PhD student in integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Now, in a study published recently in Biology Letters, Maro and his colleagues explained what those urine samples reveal: Chimpanzees appear to consume a fair amount of alcohol when eating ripe, fermenting fruit. The findings may tell us something about human evolution. Sponsor Message "In primates," says Maro, "it could be that when you smell alcohol, that means that's where the sugars are." In other words, the scent of fermentation might be a shortcut to getting more calorie-dense food. Maybe it's this tendency to associate a sugary reward with alcohol consumption that explains where human attraction to inebriating substances first originated — and why we still gravitate towards it today. In biological anthropology, it's called the drunken monkey hypothesis. That is what Maro says he was intent on figuring out: "the evolutionary origins of human attraction to alcohol." toggle caption Aleksey Maro Avoiding the splash zone To be clear, monkeys and apes are not likely consuming enough alcohol to get drunk. But an ancient affinity may explain why humans are drawn to the stuff to the point of intoxication. As Maro puts it, this could represent "a profound mismatch between the way we live today and the way we evolved." Maro had already shown that many of the ripe fruits that typically make up the chimp diet in Uganda and Côte d'Ivoire contain a good amount of ethanol. But he wondered if the animals were actually consuming the alcohol — hence all the urine collection. His team used a few techniques in th...

Iran attacks Israel, Gulf states, after naming new leader on Day 10 of war toggle caption Bilal Hussein/AP Iran launched fresh attacks on Israel and several Gulf states Monday, hours after naming Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new supreme leader. The 56-year-old is the son of the previous supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed by airstrikes at the start of the war. He has close ties with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, signaling a continuation of his father's rule and hard-line stance. Israel, meanwhile, launched new strikes overnight it said targeted sites linked to the militant group Hezbollah in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut and more regime-linked infrastructure in Tehran. Sponsor Message The escalation has jolted markets, with crude oil prices briefly nearing $120 a barrel Monday. The widening conflict has increased fears of supply disruptions across the region. In Bahrain, the country's state oil company Bapco declared 'force majeure' on its operations, allowing it to suspend contractual obligations amid extraordinary disruptions following a drone attack. The war has killed more than 1,200 people in Iran, nearly 400 in Lebanon and 11 people in Israel, according to figures from Iranian and Lebanese health officials and Israeli authorities. The Pentagon said 7 U.S. service members have been killed since the war began. Six were killed in a drone attack in Kuwait and the latest casualty died after sustaining injuries during an Iranian strike in a military base in Saudi Arabia. Here's what to know about the latest developments in the conflict: Iran retaliates after Israel launches fresh attacks on Beirut and Tehran Iran launched a new round of missiles and drone attacks overnight into Monday, targeting Israel and several Gulf states. The attacks came after Israel said it carried out fresh strikes on sites linked to the militant group Hezbollah in Beirut's southern suburbs and on regime-linked infrastructure in Tehran.
