As Cristiano Ronaldo enters his 40th year, his confidence stands as firm as his record-breaking career. The declaration, “I am the greatest,” is sure to evoke endless debates; however, numbers speak for themselves. From Sporting CP to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and now Al Nassr, Ronaldo’s journey has been one of relentless ambition, adaptation and dominance.
Ronaldo is the all-time record holder for most international appearances in men’s football with 217 and goals with 135. His list of achievements includes five Ballon d’Or titles, multiple league championships across Europe, and a European Championship with Portugal. His physical attributes are unparalleled, making him a complete forward in every sense: speed, strength and aerial ability. Even as he approaches 40, he remains a prolific goal scorer, defying age and expectations.

The GOAT Debate: Ronaldo vs. Messi
Ronaldo never once entertained the thought that he is somehow inferior to Lionel Messi despite his constant comparisons. His latest pronouncements further strengthen his claim about being the best player in football history. Sure, others like former teammate Javier Mascherano believe otherwise. Very few can discount his impact, though.
The debate between Ronaldo and Messi has defined modern football, with both players pushing each other to greater heights. While Messi is praised for his natural talent and playmaking abilities, Ronaldo’s work ethic, versatility and goal-scoring prowess make him an equally strong contender for the title of the greatest of all time.

More than Just Numbers
The Ronaldo legacy goes beyond mere statistics. His mentality is like that of a champion, always obsessed with perfection, hunger for records and pushing the limits of his own body. In two decades of discipline, professionalism and innovation, he stays at the pinnacle.
While opinions regarding the “GOAT” debate will always be divided, Ronaldo’s place in football history is not. And at 40, he’s not just a legend-he’s still rewriting the game.

Marvel Studios has denied claims that artificial intelligence was used to design the newly released poster for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The poster, revealed alongside the film’s first teaser on Tuesday, shows a crowd of people from the 20th century waving as the Fantastic Four seemingly embark on a mission.
While many fans welcomed the first look, some quickly pointed out unusual details in the artwork. Observers noticed that a few individuals appeared to have only four fingers, while others shared strikingly similar facial features. These inconsistencies fueled speculation on social media that AI had been used in the poster’s creation.
In response, a Marvel spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that the claims were untrue and that AI was not involved in the design process. The denial comes as discussions around AI’s use in entertainment continue to grow, with concerns about its role in creative work.
This is not the first time AI-related controversy has surfaced in Hollywood. Recently, the upcoming film The Brutalist faced similar accusations, with critics alleging that AI had been used to refine dialogue. Director Brady Corbet refuted these claims, explaining that lead actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones worked closely with a dialect coach to perfect their Hungarian accents. He clarified that only the Hungarian-language portions of the film were manually adjusted using Respeecher technology to maintain the authenticity of their performances.
Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to be one of Marvel’s major releases of the year. The film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach and is scheduled to hit theaters in July.

Influence on the Younger Royals

Every year on February 5, Pakistan observes Kashmir Solidarity Day. This day reminds the world that Kashmiris have been struggling for their rights for over 70 years. They don’t ask for much, just freedom and peace, but their voices remain unheard to this day. More than 100,000 Kashmiris have been killed for the crime of speaking up for their land and rights. Even more have faced arrests, torture and the destruction of their homes.
Pakistan’s Support for Kashmir
Pakistan and Kashmir share deep cultural, religious and historical ties. Pakistan believes Kashmir should have the right to decide its own future. The United Nations once promised this, but it is yet to happen. So when it comes to Kashmir, the issue is not just about a piece of land: it’s personal.
Kashmir Solidarity Day: A Day to Stand with Kashmir
Hardships Under Occupation
Life in Kashmir is full of struggles. People face shortages of food and medicine, depriving them of basic needs. Security forces continue to control the region, making life difficult. Moreover, the Modi government and the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) are allowing outsiders to settle there, which could change Kashmir’s identity forever.
Many human rights groups and countries have spoken about the situation in Kashmir. However, their words have not changed anything. The suffering of Kashmiris continues and world leaders remain quiet. Pakistan believes that without solving this issue, peace in the region is impossible.
Iran’s Strong Support
Iran has always stood with Kashmir, much like Pakistan. Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, have spoken in favour of their rights.
On this day, Pakistan urges the world to take action. The international community must listen to the voices of Kashmiris. Their pain must not be ignored. It is time to protect their rights and bring justice to the people of Kashmir.

Prince Karim Al-Husseini, Aga Khan IV, the spiritual leader of Ismailis worldwide, passed away in Lisbon at the age of 88, according to the Aga Khan Development Network on X. Prince Karim assumed this role in 1957 at the age of 20, succeeding his grandfather. An announcement regarding his successor is expected in the coming days.
He was recognised globally not only for his leadership but also for his philanthropic work and vast wealth. He was one of the world’s richest men and was known for his involvement in horse racing.
As a British citizen, Prince Karim led a community of approximately 12 million Ismailis. His followers believed he was a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the Prophet’s (PBUH) daughter, Hazrat Bibi Fatima and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali. They regard him as ‘the bringer of life.’
Prince Karim’s passing has left the entire Ismaili community and so many more in grief. Condolences have begun pouring in.

In line with this, the State Bank of Pakistan has also announced that all banking operations will remain suspended for the day. Government offices, banks, and educational institutions across the country will be closed, as confirmed in an earlier notification issued by authorities.
Kashmir Solidarity Day, observed annually, is dedicated to expressing support for the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Markets, schools and other public spaces will remain shut, while certain roads in key areas may experience disruptions due to planned processions and gatherings.
Pakistan has been observing Kashmir Solidarity Day since 1990 as a show of support for Kashmiris and their right to self-determination. The longstanding dispute over Kashmir remains a central issue between Pakistan and India, with Islamabad consistently advocating for a resolution based on United Nations resolutions.

The holy month of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia is expected to begin on March 1, 2025 (Friday), according to Sheikh Abdullah bin Suleiman al-Manea, a senior Saudi royal court advisor and member of the Saudi Ulema Board. Based on astronomical calculations, Ramadan is likely to last 29 days, concluding on March 29, with Eid ul Fitr expected on March 30.
Sheikh al-Manea emphasised that while astronomical predictions indicate these dates, the Saudi Supreme Court will make the official announcement based on moon sighting reports. Astronomers also note that Ramasan will continue to fall in winter until 2031, after which it will shift to autumn for eight years.
Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer (salah), reflection and community. Fasting is obligatory for all adult Muslims except those who are ill, traveling, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, or diabetic.
The pre-dawn meal is called suhur, while the meal to break the fast at sunset is iftar. As the holy month approaches, preparations begin for a time of spiritual devotion, generosity and unity.

Keeping recent events in mind, it seems as if our society has never been more split. More frequently, we find it difficult to see eye to eye on politics, religion, or social status. The International Day of Human Fraternity, however, reminds us that unity is more than just a wish; we can make it into a reality. Everything begins with respect, dialogue and a desire to listen.
Let’s Start Talking
I know talking about sensitive topics can feel uncomfortable. No one wants an argument. However, avoiding these conversations only makes the gaps wider. When we sit down, listen and try to truly understand each other, we build bridges instead of walls. The more we talk, the more we grow.
Small Acts, Big Impact
We don’t need grand gestures to bring people together. Small acts of kindness can change everything. A smile, a helping hand, or simply respecting someone’s viewpoint can go a long way. Imagine if we all made tiny efforts every day—our world would feel a lot less divided.
What we learn shapes how we think. That’s why it’s so important for schools to teach empathy, respect and inclusivity. If we raise children to value diversity, we’re setting the stage for a future where people come together instead of drifting apart.
Bridging the Gap on International Day of Human Fraternity
Social Media: Friend or Foe?
While we all love social media, let’s be honest; it, more often than not, makes sensitive situations worse. It may unite us, but it also helps spread lies and drive cynicism. However, if used sensibly, it could become a good instrument.
Leadership Starts With Us
We often find ourselves looking upto politicians, influencers, or celebrities for guidance, but true leadership begins with each of us. When we embrace kindness, fairness and open-mindedness in our everyday actions, we set a powerful example for others to follow. Change isn’t all about a single defining moment; it grows from the small, better choices we make daily.
Bridging the gaps in our society isn’t just the responsibility of a select few; it falls on all of us. Whether it’s through meaningful conversations, simple acts of kindness, or teaching younger generations, every little thing we do matters. The International Day of Human Fraternity gives us an opportunity to think about how we can improve. Let’s seize that opportunity and work towards making our world a bit more united.

After facing heavy criticism for his acting in HBO’s The Idol, The Weeknd is making a comeback in the film industry with his big-screen debut in Hurry Up Tomorrow. The first images from the upcoming psychological thriller have been released, featuring the Grammy-winning artist alongside Barry Keoghan and Jenna Ortega.
According to Daily Mail, the 34-year-old singer, born Abel Tesfaye, recently attended the Grammy Awards after previously boycotting the event and has also launched his sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, which serves as inspiration for the film’s storyline.
Directed and co-written by Trey Edward Shults, the movie follows a musician, played by The Weeknd, who suffers from insomnia and embarks on a mysterious journey with a stranger (Ortega) that threatens his very existence.
Moreover, newly released stills from the film include a gripping moment where Ortega’s character tenderly holds The Weeknd’s face as he screams in agony.
Another image captured him alongside Irish actor Barry Keoghan, both staring into a mirror, with Keoghan’s character leaning into The Weeknd’s head. As per the publication, additional shots include the singer sitting on the floor in a white robe, playing a digital piano and Ortega appearing behind a rain-streaked windshield.
Furthermore, the film’s announcement has sparked mixed reactions from fans. While some remain sceptical due to his widely panned performance in The Idol, others are hopeful that this project will allow him to redeem his acting skills.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to create a new government investment fund. This fund could potentially buy the popular video app TikTok. The announcement came on Monday and it marks a significant shift in US government involvement in private business.
Establishing a Government-Owned Investment Fund
Trump has directed the US Treasury and Commerce Departments to set up this new fund. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the plan is to set it up within the next 12 months. The goal is to monetise US assets to benefit the American people.
Bessent mentioned that the fund would include both liquid assets and other resources found within the country. The government aims to bring these assets forward to help the public.
Potential Funding and Purpose of the Fund
Trump had discussed the idea of a government investment fund during his presidential campaign. He suggested the fund could support national projects like infrastructure improvements. This includes building better highways, airports and investing in medical research.
Trump’s Order Opens Path for Govt Fund to Buy TikTok
Details on how the fund will work are still unclear. However, Trump mentioned it could be financed by tariffs and other “smart” ideas. Normally, such funds rely on a budget surplus, but the US has a deficit.
TikTok’s Future and National Security Concerns
TikTok has over 170 million users in the United States. The app was almost banned in January due to national security concerns over its Chinese owner, ByteDance. A law was set to require ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban.
Trump took office on January 20 and signed an executive order to delay the ban. He extended the deadline by 75 days to allow more time for a decision.
Looking Ahead: TikTok’s Fate
Trump has said that he is in talks with several parties about purchasing TikTok. He plans to make a final decision on the app’s future in February. The outcome of these discussions could significantly affect TikTok’s operations in the US.
The creation of a government-run investment fund could change the way the US handles foreign-owned tech companies. If successful, this fund could impact future deals, including the purchase of TikTok, and offer new opportunities for the American economy.

Former finance minister Miftah Ismail has criticised the government for imposing taxes on those earning Rs 50,000 per month while leaving large farmland owners out of the tax net. Speaking on Tuesday, he said Pakistan is going through a critical economic period, yet the government is inviting businessmen to buy Rs 50 million plots under an amnesty scheme.
He claimed that the country has not received any foreign investment in the last 20 years. “Who will invest when your tax rates are the highest in the world?” he questioned. Miftah argued that excessive taxation discourages investment, making economic recovery difficult.
He also pointed out shifting political stances on the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). “Earlier, Shehbaz Sharif opposed PECA while the PTI founder supported it. Today, Shehbaz backs it and PTI is against it,” he remarked.

While many people remember Rosa Parks as the woman who refused to give up her bus seat in 1955, she was much more. She spent decades fighting against racism, sexism and sexual violence. Her work as a civil rights activist and advocate for Black women deserves more recognition than it gets. So today, on her birthday, let’s look at the extraordinary woman she was.
Fighting Sexual Violence Against Black Women
Long before the bus boycott, Parks worked as an investigator for the NAACP in Montgomery, Alabama. She focused on cases of sexual violence against Black women. One of her most important cases was Recy Taylor’s. In 1944, white men kidnapped and attacked Taylor. Parks helped bring national attention to Taylor’s case and fought for justice.
In 1974, Parks also helped form the Joanne Little Defense Committee. Little, a Black woman, killed a white jailer who sexually assaulted her. Parks stood by Little and helped rally support for her.
Rosa Parks: Fighting Sexual Violence and Systemic Abuse
Parks also led a national campaign against sexual violence by white men against Black women. She knew that these crimes were ignored by the legal system for so long. Parks took matters into her own hands and made sure people paid attention.
Her Own Painful Experience
Parks knew the fear and pain of sexual violence firsthand. In 1931, a white neighbour tried to assault her. She escaped, but the experience stayed with her. It made her even more determined to fight for other Black women who faced the same dangers.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott and Fighting Systemic Oppression
On December 1, 1955, Parks stood up against racism in Montgomery, Alabama. She refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger, leading to an arrest.
Her arrest triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a landmark moment in the civil rights movement. The boycott lasted over a year and resulted in the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on buses was illegal.
However, her activism didn’t stop there. She spent her life fighting for justice, equality and dignity for all people.
Rosa Parks’ Legacy
Parks’ bravery is something that inspires people to this day. She was not just a woman on a bus; she was a warrior for justice. She fought racism and sexual violence with equal passion. She once said, “I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would also be free.”
Her story reminds us to stand up for what is right, no matter the risk.

Sandiip commented, "This is our party, and we have also not invited a few people. Because this is not a sponsored party.
Though the curtains may have closed on Bigg Boss 18, the controversy is definitely still far from over. Controversy seems to plague Karan Veer Mehra, Shilpa Shirodkar and Chum Darang along with many other contestants who recently re-gathered at producer Sandiip Sikcand’s house. Though the evening was filled with laughter and camaraderie, a video from the party hinted at some tension that seems to have surged amongst participants, particularly Vivian Dsena.
Reunion at Sandiip Sikcand’s House
The get-together was a star-studded affair, with photos and videos flooding social media. Fans were quick to notice a clip where Sandiip Sikcand and Karan Veer Mehra appeared to take a subtle dig at Vivian Dsena.
Sandiip Sikcand and Karan Veer Mehra’s Comments
In the video, Sandiip commented, “This is our party, and we have also not invited a few people. Because this is not a sponsored party, this is a proper party.” Karan chimed in, adding, “Aur main iska 20 saal purana dost hu.” (I have been his friend for 20 years). This statement seemed to refer to Vivian and Karan’s much-discussed 12-year friendship.
The drama reached new heights as Vivian Dsena had his own party where he invited co-stars of Bigg Boss 18 such as Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh. But Karan, Shilpa and Chum were not seen anywhere. Vivian’s wife Nouran Aly said, “I am the one who was inviting, it was a surprise party, I will invite the ones who didn’t hurt us, that’s all.”
The fans did not hesitate to express their views. Most described Sandiip and Karan as continuing their attacks on Vivian, saying, “They are still not getting over with Vivian.” Others praised Vivian, as a class inside and outside the house.
While the victorious crown went to Karan Veer Mehra from Bigg Boss 18, Vivian Dsena’s journey towards being the first runner-up has been able to stay relevant in the conversations. Offscreen drama proves that the Bigg Boss saga is far from over.

On February 4th every year, people all around the globe unite to promote cancer awareness. World Cancer Day reminds us that prevention is exactly as important as cure. A person’s lifestyle may help reduce cancer threat even if genetics plays a part. Moreover, significant changes arise from little beginnings.
The Link between Lifestyle and Cancer
Research has shown that our lifestyle choices can influence the risk of developing cancer. The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that at least one-third of cancers can be prevented. Elements such as diet, physical activity and personal habits play a significant role in our overall health. The encouraging part? Making healthier choices can reduce risks and enhance our well-being.
What World Cancer Day Teaches Us
Food Choices That Matter
What you eat plays a crucial role in your overall health. A diet abundant in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can boost your immune system. On the other hand, processed foods, sugary beverages and red meat might heighten the risk of cancer.
The American Cancer Society recommends including vibrant, plant-based meals in your diet because making simple changes can have a huge impact.
The Power of Regular Exercise
Research indicates that many kinds of cancer, including breast and colon cancer, are less likely to occur if one is consistently active. Exercise aids in weight management, hormone balance and improvement of immunity. Only 30 minutes daily of moderate exercise such as walking or cycling can reduce the chances of cancer. Being active helps to keep the body strong and flexible.
Lung cancer is most often caused by smoking. Even contact with secondhand smoke raises chances. At any age, stopping smoking improves health.Likewise, alcohol use has been connected with liver, breast, and throat cancers. Reducing or removing alcohol greatly enhances general living quality.
Sun Safety and Skin Cancer Prevention
Skin cancer can be caused by too much exposure to the sun. UV rays destroy skin cells and lead to early ageing. Protecting yourself against damaging UV rays with small behaviours include wearing sunscreen, staying away from tanning beds and looking for cover. Skin inspections assist in catching melanoma’s early symptoms.
Managing Stress for Better Health
Chronic stress affects immunity and increases inflammation. Over time, this may contribute to cancer development. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing, help reduce stress. A balanced lifestyle, with enough sleep and relaxation, strengthens the body’s defences.
World Cancer Day: A Call to Action
World Cancer Day isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. Small lifestyle changes can create long-term health benefits. Eating better, staying active and avoiding harmful substances reduce risks. Prevention starts with knowledge and daily choices.
This year, take a step toward a healthier future. Cancer prevention is possible, and every positive choice counts.

Every year, February 4 marks the International Day of Human Fraternity as a global observance dedicated to fostering religious and cultural tolerance. The United Nations General Assembly had declared this day in 2020, while stressing the urgency of unity and coexistence as global divisions of politics, economies and faith continue to soar.
Origins and Historical Significance
The International Day of Human Fraternity is traced back to a historic event on February 4, 2019, when Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, signed the landmark document Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together. This document serves as a guiding principle for interfaith harmony, advocating mutual respect and collaboration between people of different religions and cultures.
Source: Vatican News
Recognising the imperative to unite, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 75/200 in December 2020 formally declaring February 4 as an international day for human fraternity. The initiative was especially necessary during a time when religious intolerance and hate crimes were on the rise, underlining the need for global solidarity. The COVID-19 pandemic only added to this necessity of uniting beyond the differences of religions and cultures.
Human fraternity at its core fosters important values in societies, among them are:

A Journey of Strength and Recovery
Kate’s post comes as she gradually returns to public duties after completing her preventative chemotherapy. In September, she shared a video message, opening up about her experience and the lessons she has learned along the way. She spoke of gaining a “new perspective on everything” and cherishing the simple yet meaningful moments in life.
Although her treatment is over, she acknowledged that her recovery is ongoing. She reassured well-wishers that she is taking each day as it comes but is eager to resume her royal work. True to her word, Kate made a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in January to personally thank the medical staff who cared for her during her treatment. This visit marked her first official engagement of 2025 and reaffirmed her commitment to supporting cancer patients and research.
In another significant step, Kate was named joint royal patron of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, a role she now shares with Prince William. The patronage holds deep historical significance, as it was previously held by Princess Diana. A Kensington Palace spokesperson stated that Kate wanted to highlight the hospital’s groundbreaking work and express her gratitude to the dedicated staff.

Why Did Aaradhya Bachchan File a Defamation Case?
There has been misleading information going around about Aaradhya’s health on the Internet, claiming she is critically ill or even dead. These rumours have forced her family to swiftly take action.

Aaradhya went to the Delhi High Court, requesting major platforms like Google to remove false content. The court has ordered compliance from Google and other media organisations.
Previous Court Rulings on Misleading Content
In April 2023, the Delhi High Court had made a previous order asking Google to remove some deceptive videos related to Aaradhya. Justice C Hari Shankar said that spreading fake news was unfortunate. We must treat every child with respect and dignity.
In a world dominated by media, it is our responsibility to protect the privacy of children. Many people have supported Aaradhya’s bold step. Although the family has been relatively private, their support for Aaradhya’s legal action is clear.
