The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced that the Pakistan Navy’s warships and aircraft successfully detected the presence of Indian Navy ships, submarines, and aircraft, that were attempting to covertly observe Exercise Seaspark 2024 and interpret naval war plans.

The ISPR further stated that the Pakistan Navy responded immediately by implementing necessary safeguards to protect its operational activities and strategic interests.

According to the military’s media wing, Exercise Seaspark 2024 is a maritime exercise conducted biennially by the Pakistan Navy. Its primary objective is to assess the operational readiness and coordination among different units of the Navy.

The exercise follows a structured two-force concept, comprising the blue force (own force) and the orange force (enemy force). The Pakistan Navy aims to simulate wartime procedures, major mobilizations, and complex operations to improve the Navy’s operational capabilities and readiness in various scenarios.

In a recent announcement, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) unveiled data indicating a notable growth in textile and clothing exports for the second consecutive month in January.

The sector recorded a robust increase of 10.10 per cent, with exports reaching $1.45 billion compared to $1.32 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year. This positive momentum was further highlighted by a month-on-month growth rate of 3.33 per cent.

Despite this recent surge, a closer look at the performance in the fiscal year 2024’s first seven months reveals a contrasting trend. Textile and clothing exports experienced a decline of 2.99 per cent, amounting to $9.73 billion as opposed to $10.03 billion in the same period last year.

Analysts attribute this contraction to mounting production costs, primarily driven by increased energy expenses and a prevalent liquidity crunch in the industry. The sustainability of the recent upswing remains uncertain, raising questions about the sector’s future performance in the upcoming months.

While the Ministry of Commerce had previously announced measures to address challenges faced by textile exporters, including regionally competitive energy prices and the resolution of cash flow issues through the release of pending sales tax refunds, these initiatives are yet to be implemented.

Industry insiders are keenly observing the unfolding developments, anticipating the potential impact of the proposed government interventions. The sector awaits concrete actions to mitigate challenges and foster a more conducive environment for sustained growth.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron criticised Donald Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, in his ruling that ordered the former United States president to pay $354.9 million in damages on Friday after finding him liable for business fraud.

Engoron denounced Ivanka's "inconsistent recall" in the case involving her father, adult brothers — Donald Jr and Eric — and the Trump Organization.

Despite documentary evidence, she denied knowledge of key events. Ivanka was initially listed as a defendant, but this was dropped in June 2023 due to a statute of limitations.

Aiming Ivanka, Engoron wrote: "She consistently denied recalling the contents of documentary evidence that confirmed that she actively participated in events, even after she was confronted with the evidence."

He later added: "The Court found her inconsistent recall, depending on whether she was questioned by OAG [New York attorney general's office] or the defence, suspect.

"In any event, what Ms Trump cannot recall is memorialised in contemporaneous emails and documents; in the absence of her memory, the documents speak for themselves."

Ivanka was asked about her recollection of negotiations involving the Old Post Office in Washington, DC, which Trump purchased and turned into a hotel. She was also asked about her involvement in negotiations concerning the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Florida, which her father had purchased.

Engoron found Donald Trump liable for business fraud in September 2023, claiming he lied about property value to secure better bank loans and tax agreements.

Amid allegations of manipulation of results in the February 8 elections, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has urged Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa to take suo moto notice over the alleged rigging in the polls.

In a letter addressed to the CJP, PTI spokesperson Shoaib Shaheen has sought the apex judge's action over alleged rigging in NA-47 and NA-48 constituencies which, according to him, will prove to be a first drop of rain for supremacy of the Constitution, rule of law, ensuring fundamental rights as well promoting democracy in the country.

The February 8 polls have been marred by allegations of rigging with the PTI, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and others complaining of fraud results in various constituencies across the country.

A day earlier, Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha made shocking revelations of abetting large-scale electoral rigging while hurling serious allegations against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja and the CJP.

"We converted the losers into winners with a 50,000 votes margin,” he said during a press conference at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium while tendering his resignation and surrendering himself before the authorities. Reacting to the accusations, CJP Isa demanded evidence of his involvement in the rigging of the February 8 elections. "You level baseless allegations.

There is no truth to it nor is evidence presented," the top judge said in a statement. Shaheen, in his letter to the chief justice, narrated the details of alleged rigging in the NA-47 constituency stressing that as per Form 45, he secured 104,578 votes to win by a margin of 53,000 votes.
