Pakistan’s capital was put under a security lockdown on Sunday amid protests by supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan calling for his release. Highways leading to Islamabad through which supporters of Khan, led by members of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, approached the city, have been blocked. Most major roads of the city have also been blocked by the government with shipping containers and large contingents of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in riot gear, while mobile phone services have been suspended. The PTI reported multiple arrests and the use of tear gas and shelling by government forces in Islamabad as part of ongoing efforts to suppress protests. According to PTI sources, security agencies have detained numerous protestors advocating for political reforms and opposing the current administration. The PTI alleged that the government employed heavy-handed tactics, including the use of tear gas canisters and live ammunition, to disperse demonstrators gathering in key areas of the capital. These actions have heightened tensions between the opposition party and state authorities, with PTI accusing the government of undermining democratic freedoms and the right to peaceful assembly. In response to the escalating situation, government officials have issued a firm statement pledging to halt the protests “no matter what.” The administration has called for an end to what it describes as unlawful gatherings that disrupt public peace and safety. Human rights organisations expressed concern over the reported use of force against protestors, urging both the government and opposition parties to engage in dialogue to resolve differences peacefully. They called for an independent investigation into the alleged abuses to ensure accountability and protect citizens’ rights. As the situation unfolds, Islamabad remains on high alert with increased security presence in major protest hotspots. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, with several foreign observers advocating for restraint and the protection of democratic processes. Global internet watchdog NetBlocks said on X that live metrics showed WhatsApp messaging services had been restricted ahead of the protests. A key Khan aid, Ali Amin Gandapur, who is the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and was expected to lead the largest convoy into Islamabad, called on people to gather near the entrance of the city’s red zone, known as “D Chowk”. Islamabad’s red zone houses the country’s parliament building, important government installations, as well as embassies and foreign institutions’ offices. “Khan has called on us to remain there till all our demands are met,” he said in a video message on Saturday. The PTI’s demands include the release of all its leaders, including Khan, as well as the resignation of the current government due to what it says was a rigged election this year. Khan has been in jail since August last year and, since being voted out of power by parliament in 2022, faces a number of disputed charges. He and his party deny all the charges. “These constant protests are destroying the economy and creating instability...we want the political leadership to sit together and resolve these matters,” Muhammad Asif, 35, a resident of Islamabad said in front of a closed market.

Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images/ File Photo New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was named winner of the American League's Most Valuable Player award on Thursday in a unanimous vote. Judge, who led Major League Baseball in a slew of categories, beat out Juan Soto, a free agent who spent the 2024 season with the Yankees, and Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. for his second MVP award, having won in 2022. "I want to congratulate Aaron on earning this distinguished honor, and I couldn’t be happier for such an amazing person and leader," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in a statement. "After having a front row seat for his 2022 MVP performance, I really couldn’t envision a player having a better and more complete baseball season. But that’s exactly what he accomplished in 2024. "I'm beyond fortunate to be able to manage Aaron, and I look forward to watching him further cement his legacy as one of this generation’s greatest players." Judge, who led MLB in homers, RBIs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and walks, received all 30 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Judge is the 17th multiple MVP winner in the American League. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Thyrocare, a leading diagnostic and preventive healthcare service provider in India, has set a historic benchmark by becoming the first national diagnostic chain in India to secure 100% NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories - the most renowned accreditation body in India today) accreditation across all its 29 laboratories. The recognition highlights Thyrocare’s commitment to ensure quality and reliability in diagnostics. The recognition was celebrated at a special event where NABL dignitaries felicitated Thyrocare’s team. The NABL dignitaries visited our national reference laboratory in Navi Mumbai and appreciated the lab infrastructure, analyzers, various types of technologies, and diverse test menu. Pankaj Johri, Director at NABL, lauded Thyrocare for this extraordinary accomplishment and congratulated Rahul Guha (MD & CEO, Thyrocare) and Dr Preet Kaur (Vice President of Operations and Quality, Thyrocare) and team on this magnificent achievement. “From 2022 to 2024, in around 2 years, Thyrocare received NABL accreditation for 25 of its labs - making 100% of its 29 labs across India NABL-accredited, which is an incredible feat,” remarked Pankaj Johri, Director at NABL. “Thyrocare handles 70,000 samples per day and impacts millions of lives on a daily basis. Such huge patient welfare per day is a big responsibility, making NABL accreditation imperative to meet gold standard quality and accuracy,” He also added, “This benchmark was achieved while opting for a more stringent Full NABL accreditation to establish trusted quality standards. This full accreditation is more rigorous to achieve than the entry-level NABL certification.” Among other NABL dignitaries who attended this event were Haribabu A - Deputy Director - NABL, Syed Tahira Rizvi - Assistant Director - NABL and Mandeep Dalal - Executive Officer - NABL. N. Venkateswaran, CEO - NABL, also conveyed his congratulations and expressed confidence in Thyrocare’s quality while expanding its reach across India. Adding to the celebration, Chakravarthy T. Kannan, Secretary General, Quality Council of India (QCI) appreciated this milestone of Thyrocare, saying “Viksit Bharat 2047 was launched by PM Mr Narendra Modi. This mission will catapult India to be among the top 3 nations globally. To achieve Viksit Bharat 2047, India needs strong quality infrastructure and quality ambassadors who will pioneer quality infra and standards to compete globally. ISO 15189 is a globally accredited standard for diagnostic labs. I’m happy to share that Thyrocare has become India’s first diagnostic lab to be accredited 100% across India in all of their units. I would like to congratulate Rahul Guha (the CEO of Thyrocare) and his team for achieving this great milestone. I’m sure Thyrocare will continue to inspire all diagnostic labs across India, and many more chains will follow the pioneering act done by Thyrocare. I appreciate Thyrocare towards their quality excellence journey and dedicating them for the spirit of Viksit Bharat.” Thyrocare’s quality transformation includes a comprehensive 12-point roadmap that addresses key stages of the sample journey. From stringent quality checks during sample collection by audited phlebotomists to maintaining the cold chain in the mid-mile and ensuring precision in sample processing through continuous equipment upgrades, daily inspection of machines to verification of reports by expert MD pathologists stationed at every lab, Thyrocare leaves no stone unturned to deliver accurate and reliable services that 9 out of 10 doctors trust (as per a survey by third party published in the IJARIIT National Journal). Rahul Guha, MD & CEO of Thyrocare said “This milestone reflects our mission to provide affordable, high-quality diagnostics nationwide. Becoming the First National Diagnostic Brand with 100% of its Labs to be NABL-accredited was a vision set 2 years ago. Over the past 2 years, we have worked diligently to ensure that all 29 labs of Thyrocare meet the rigorous NABL standards. I appreciate NABL’s guidance and support in this journey.” Dr Preet Kaur, Vice President of Operations and Quality, Thyrocare, shared, “We have a strong network of 29 labs across India. Labs are strategically positioned to minimize sample travel time, reduce preanalytical delays, and ensure faster reporting. We have made a huge investment in revamping the entire analyser base across all the labs. These highly state-of-the-art analysers, along with advanced third-generation reagents, ensure high precision in our reports.” The event saw heartfelt acknowledgements from Thyrocare’s leadership team, including Chief Financial Officer Alok Jagnani, Chief Commercial Officer Nitin Chugh and Chief Human Resources Officer Savita Sharma and other senior leaders. Each highlighted the collaborative efforts of various departments—from laboratory operations, training to administration teams—that made this achievement possible.

"Our stable third quarter results were in line with our expectations," said Sheila Vokey, Central 1's President & CEO. "Central 1 continues to grow its critical payments, treasury and clearing and settlement services, which we provide at scale to financial institutions who deliver banking choice to Canadians." Third quarter 2024 compared with third quarter 2023: Net income was $5.8 million, compared with $3.9 million Net fair value gain 1 was $6.9 million, compared with loss of $2.0 million Net interest income was $9.7 million, compared with $19.6 million Return on average equity 2 of 2.1%, compared with 1.6% Year-to-date 2024 compared with year-to-date 2023: Net income was $47.8 million, compared with $23.6 million Net fair value gain 1 was $60.2 million, compared with $24.2 million Net interest income was $34.0 million, compared with $41.3 million Return on average equity 2 of 8.0%, compared with 4.4% Central 1's third quarter and year-to-date (YTD) results continue to report strong financial performance in 2024. Central 1's net income for the third quarter was $5.8 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to the third quarter last year. This is primarily reflecting higher net fair value gains 1 and higher non-interest income, excluding strategic initiatives 1 , partially offset by lower net interest income. The reported YTD net income was $47.8 million, an increase of $24.2 million compared to the same period last year, reflecting an increase of $36.0 million in net fair value gains 1 largely due to credit spreads narrowing. Core Business & Financial Performance Treasury Treasury delivered consistently strong results in the quarter and reported a net income of $11.3 million, broadly in line with $11.5 million reported in the third quarter last year. Net interest income was $10.1 million, a decrease of $9.9 million compared to the third quarter last year. However, the decline in net interest income was offset by an $8.9 million increase in net fair value gains 1 . Non-interest income, including revenue from Treasury's fee-for-service operations, also increased by $2.4 million compared to the third quarter last year. Payments & Digital Banking Payments & Digital Banking reported net loss for the quarter was $3.8 million, compared with a reported net loss of $4.7 million in the third quarter last year, driven by the Digital Banking business and partially offset by the net income in Payments. The year-over-year reduction in net loss for the current quarter can be attributed to reduced spending on strategic initiatives 1 . This decline is due to the pause earlier in the year in the Payments Modernization initiative, awaiting details from Payments Canada. Additionally, there were lower professional fees associated with Forge implementations, and completion of certain digital strategy projects. After the close of the quarter, Central 1 announced its intention to wind down its digital banking business and transition clients to one or more alternative digital banking providers. While no firm date has been set for completing this transition, Central 1 is working with digital banking providers and clients to complete transitions within a three-to-four-year timeline.
