Newly Discovered Bat Virus Uses Same Entry Path as COVID-19

Newly Discovered Bat Virus Uses Same Entry Path as COVID-19

Chinese researchers have discovered a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which uses the same ACE2 receptor as SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells. The virus contains a furin cleavage site, a key feature that enhances infection. In laboratory experiments, it was able to infect human cells with high ACE2 levels, including models of the intestines and airways. However, the virus does not infect human cells as efficiently as SARS-CoV-2, according to a study published in Cell.

Further experiments identified monoclonal antibodies and antiviral drugs that could target the virus, offering potential treatment options. The findings, reported by Bloomberg, impacted vaccine stocks, with Pfizer shares rising 1.5%, Moderna climbing 5.3% and Novavax increasing by 1% despite a broader market decline.

Amid concerns about another potential pandemic, Dr. Michael Osterholm from the University of Minnesota called the reaction “overblown.” He noted that the population now has greater immunity to SARS-like viruses than in 2019, reducing the pandemic threat.

The study itself emphasised that HKU5-CoV-2 has significantly lower binding affinity to human ACE2 than SARS-CoV-2 and lacks other factors necessary for human adaptation. Researchers concluded that the risk of the virus emerging in human populations should not be exaggerated.

After regaining consciousness, he alleged that police had taken him to Balochistan, threatened to kill him and denied him food. However, police claimed he collapsed on his father’s signal and insisted they needed to record his Section 164 statement.

Meanwhile, further investigations revealed that Mustafa and Armaghan had a dispute over a girl on New Year’s Eve, leading to Mustafa’s alleged murder.

Shiraz reportedly confessed that Armaghan lured Mustafa to his house on January 6, where he violently killed him. The suspects then transported Mustafa’s body in the car’s trunk to Hub, Balochistan, where they burned the vehicle. Police recovered modern weapons from Armaghan’s residence, and the Counter-Terrorism Department is tracing their origin. Authorities also seized a laptop from Armaghan’s bungalow, with FIA assisting in data analysis. A disturbing audio recording has surfaced in which Mustafa tells a friend he was heading to Armaghan’s house, suggesting his friend should join him later.

Participants recognized that the national harmonization of food standards represents a gold standard, urging a similar approach in other regulatory areas. They observed that differing tax structures across provinces hinder ease of doing business, with an FBR representative noting that the government is working with the World Bank on tax reform initiatives.

Counterfeit and spurious products—as well as gray trade products violating S.R.O 237—were identified as key reasons for legal businesses losing market share. The potential for exporting packaged food was also highlighted as a strategy to capture growing markets for Halal products. Moreover, the meeting underscored that successful Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, which rely on a phased approach, require strong collaboration and shared responsibilities between public and private stakeholders, including consumers, with recycling recognized as the backbone of a circular economy.

The closing address was delivered by Ms. Farzana Altaf, Director General of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency, who stressed the importance of enacting a unified environmental legislation to support a circular economy.

Government representation included the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), BOI, Pakistan Standards & Quality Control Authority (PSQCA), all Provincial Food Authorities, FBR, the Ministries of Commerce and Industries & Production, the Senate of Pakistan, the National Tariff Commission and Pakistan, and provincial Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs).

Delta Offers $30,000 to Passengers After Toronto Crash-Landing

Delta Air Lines is giving $30,000 to each passenger from the flight that crash-landed in Toronto on Monday. The plane skidded along the runway in flames before flipping upside down. Fortunately, all 76 passengers and four crew members survived.

Delta has stated that this compensation is an advance payment to help passengers with immediate financial needs and does not affect their legal rights, though it may be deducted from any future settlements. Some passengers have hired lawyers, saying they suffered serious injuries.

In past incidents, airlines have made similar offers, such as Asiana Airlines giving $10,000 after the 2013 crash in San Francisco and Alaska Airlines’ $1,500 compensation after last year’s mid-air door plug blowout.

The Passengers described the crash as a violent impact, with some hanging upside down in their seats. The cause of this incident is still under investigation. Experts suspect weather conditions and rapid descent may have contributed. The cockpit voice and flight data recorders have been recovered, and Canada’s Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation.

Delta’s CEO praised the flight crew’s quick actions. The crash is the fourth major air incident in North America in three weeks, but officials say flying remains one of the safest modes of transportation.

Mohammad Amir Reveals Inside Details on Fakhar Zaman’s Injury

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir, who shares a close friendship with explosive opener Fakhar Zaman, has shed light on the nature of the injury and the tough road to recovery that lies ahead.

Pakistan’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign has hit an early roadblock with the loss of their opener, who picked up an unfortunate injury during the opening match against New Zealand, forcing him out of the tournament.

Fakhar Zaman’s Painful Exit

The injury happened in the very first over of New Zealand’s innings. Fakhar awkwardly fell while fielding and immediately had to leave the ground for medical assessment. Though he made an attempt to return, he eventually walked off again—raising concerns about his condition.

Despite the discomfort, Fakhar still came out to bat in Pakistan’s chase of 321. But it was clear he wasn’t himself. His usual attacking game was missing, and he struggled to a scratchy 24 before getting dismissed.

With his injury confirmed, Pakistan moved quickly to replace him, bringing in Imam-ul-Haq, who recently impressed in the Champions Trophy warm-up match against South Africa.

Amir’s Conversation With Fakhar

Speaking on a private TV channel, Mohammad Amir revealed that he reached out to Fakhar after hearing about the injury. Given their strong bond—having spent over a month together in the ILT20—Amir wanted to check on his well-being.

He initially asked Fakhar if the injury was related to his knee or back, but the left-hander clarified that it was a side strain—an injury that could sideline him for up to two months.

During their conversation, Fakhar also mentioned experiencing mild coughing, which worsens his pain and makes breathing difficult.

How Long Will Fakhar Be Out?

Mohammad Amir explained that side strain injuries typically take around six weeks to heal, followed by a rehabilitation phase before a player can return to full action. Even in a best-case scenario, Fakhar might only be back for the later stages of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

This is a significant blow for Pakistan, as Fakhar was expected to play a key role at the top of the order in the Champions Trophy. Now, the team will have to quickly adjust and find a way to fill the void left by his absence.

Pakistan’s Champions Trophy 2025 squad has undergone a key change. Opening batter, Imam-ul-Haq, replaced Fakhar Zaman, who sustained an injury during their opening match against New Zealand in Karachi.

Fakhar suffered a side strain while fielding in the first over, leading to his exclusion from the tournament. The Event Technical Committee approved Imam as his replacement.

“Imam, who has played 72 ODIs, was named as a replacement after Fakhar was ruled out due to an oblique injury,” the ICC stated.

His absence is a major setback for Pakistan, especially after losing Saim Ayub to an injury as well. Zaman also took to his Instagram to express his disappointment but remained hopeful for the future.

“I have been privileged to represent Pakistan multiple times with pride. Unfortunately, I’m now out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but surely Allah is the best planner. I will be backing our boys in green from home,” he wrote.

With a crucial match against India on February 23, the Pakistan cricket team needs to adjust its plans if they wish to remain in the tournament.

Pakistan updated squad for Champions Trophy 2025:

Mohammad Rizwan (c), Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Shubman Gill’s Century Guides India to Victory Against Bangladesh

Shubman Gill’s Century Guides India to Victory Against Bangladesh
Bangladesh

Vice-captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101* led India to a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their opening Champions Trophy match in Dubai on Thursday.

Chasing the score of 229 runs, India reached the target with 21 balls to spare. Gill, who scored his second consecutive ODI century, remained steady under pressure.

“There’s a lot of experience in the dressing room to handle such situations,” said India’s captain Rohit Sharma. “KL (Rahul) and Gill stayed composed till the end.”

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami also played a key role in India’s win, taking 5-53 to leave Bangladesh struggling at 35-5. However, Bangladesh’s Towhid Hridoy (100) and Jaker Ali (68) stitched a 154-run stand to push the total to 228 runs.

India started well with Rohit Sharma (41) and Gill finding regular boundaries. Rohit, who crossed 11,000 ODI runs, fell to Taskin Ahmed, while Virat Kohli (22) was dismissed after a slow start.

With India at 144-4, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul (41*) took charge, ensuring a comfortable finish with an 87-run partnership. Rahul was dropped early, but India faced no further hurdles.

Shami, stepping in for the injured Jasprit Bumrah, gave India an early breakthrough by dismissing Soumya Sarkar for a duck. Axar Patel removed Tanzid Hasan (25) and Mushfiqur Rahim (0) in successive deliveries.

Bangladesh got some respite as Jaker and Towhid steadied the innings, and fielding lapses from India allowed them to build a partnership.

Towhid’s 118-ball knock, which included six fours and two sixes, ended before Bangladesh was bowled out.

India will face Pakistan in their next match on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.

ICC Clarifies Champions Trophy Logo Controversy—Calls It a ‘Technical Glitch’

icc-clarifies-champions-trophy-logo-controversy

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is making headlines, but not just for the cricket. A controversy erupted during the India vs. Bangladesh match in Dubai when fans noticed something missing—the host country Pakistan’s name was nowhere to be seen in the tournament’s official logo on the broadcast.

As expected, speculation ran wild. Was it an oversight? A deliberate move? A controversy brewing? But before things could escalate further, the International Cricket Council (ICC) stepped in with an explanation.

What Really Happened?

An ICC official clarified that the omission was simply a technical glitch in the broadcast graphics. The spokesperson assured fans that the issue would be fixed from the next match onwards.

“The omission was due to a graphics-related technical issue, which will be rectified from tomorrow. It was not possible to change the logo during the match.”

Interestingly, the official also pointed out that Pakistan’s name was visible in the official social media clips, proving that the glitch was limited to the live TV broadcast.

Timing of the Controversy Raises Eyebrows

This explanation comes at a time when tensions around the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 have already been simmering. Just last month, reports from Indian media suggested that India’s jersey for the tournament would not feature Pakistan’s name in the logo.

That report had sparked outrage among Pakistani fans, leading to calls for action. However, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) later clarified that it would follow ICC guidelines and sport the official tournament logo as required.

As soon as the issue surfaced, cricket fans across both countries flooded social media with reactions. While some questioned the timing of the “technical glitch,” others were quick to call for calm, waiting for the ICC’s official word—which has now arrived.

What’s Next in ICC Champions Trophy?

With the clarification in place, the focus should now shift back to cricket—where it belongs. The Pakistan-India showdown on February 23 is fast approaching, and that’s where all eyes should be.

For now, let’s hope the only glitches we see from here on out are in fielding, not in broadcasting!

Imam-ul-Haq To Join Pakistan Squad Ahead of India Clash

imam-ul-haq-to-join-pakistan-squad-ahead-of-india

Pakistan’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign just got a big boost. Imam-ul-Haq is set to join the squad in Dubai on Friday, right in time for the much-anticipated showdown against India on February 23.

The left-handed opener replaces Fakhar Zaman, who suffered an unfortunate oblique tear while fielding against New Zealand in Karachi on February 19. With Fakhar ruled out, Pakistan needed an experienced replacement at the top of the order, and Imam fits the bill perfectly.

A Timely Call-Up

Imam’s selection didn’t come out of nowhere as he has been performing consistently in domestic cricket. The left-hander had also featured in Pakistan Shaheens’ warm-up match against South Africa, making him match-ready for the big stage.

Not only that, yesterday after being officially named as Fakhar’s replacement, he smashed a brilliant 158 runs for PTV against OGDCL in the President’s Trophy. Talk about making a statement!

A source close to the team confirmed: “Imam-ul-Haq has been released by PTV and will travel tomorrow after a brief stay in Lahore. He will be available for selection against India.”

ODI Record of Imam-ul-Haq

If selected, Imam-ul-Haq will be making his first ODI appearance for Pakistan since the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. His numbers in the format speak for themselves:

  • 72 ODIs
  • 3,138 runs
  • 48.27 average
  • 9 centuries & 20 fifties

His ability to anchor an innings while accelerating when needed makes him a solid option at the top. Plus, his familiarity with high-pressure matches will come in handy against India.
