Pakistan authorises retaliation after India conducts ‘precision strikes’ in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir

• Pakistan decries ‘act of war’ after Indian missile attack
• India and Pakistan’s Kashmir dispute – explained

US president Donald Trump was just asked about the Indian missile strikes into Pakistani-administered territory.

“It’s a shame,” Trump told reporters. “We just heard about it.”

In Ahmedpur East, we have information about the martyrdom of a child and 12 people injured … Two civilians were martyred in Kotli.

We know that a mosque was struck [in Ahmedpur]; ordinance landed on a house near it … Parents and a child are stuck and being rescued.

The picture is complex, experts say, despite two resounding wins for liberal parties in national elections, after polls had put them on track for defeat

Pierre Poilievre and Peter Dutton began the year as leaders in waiting. With national elections in Canada and Australia on the horizon, both leaders were consistently leading in the polls. But a mere four months later, the votes have come and gone and their parties remain out of government. In the process, both suffered the indignation of losing the seats they held for more than two decades.

On Sunday, as the results of the Australian elections were broadcast across the world, international media were quick to blame one man: Donald Trump. “First Canada, now Australia?” asked the Wall Street Journal, with the paper claiming the “Trump factor” had boosted Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese’s chances. CNN called it “the Trump slump” and suggested the phenomenon was spreading.
