FIFA, the governing body of world football, said on Thursday that it had lifted its suspension of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) imposed for 'undue third-party interference.'
Pakistan was suspended in April 2021 after a dispute over a 'normalisation committee' imposed by FIFA to ensure its rules were being followed.
FIFA had refused to recognise the 2018 election of Ashfaq Hussain Shah as president of the PFF.
That suspension was lifted by the Bureau of the FIFA Council on Wednesday.
'The decision was taken after FIFA received confirmation that the normalisation committee of the PFF had regained full control of the PFF's premises and was in a position to manage its finances,' FIFA said in a statement.
Thursday was the deadline for the committee to compete its 'tasks', which include fresh elections' but FIFA said that because that was 'now no longer realistic' its mandate was extended until '30 June 2023 at the latest.'

Pakistan's government has temporarily suspended all state executions.
The move comes as several convicts, including a number of Al-Qaeda-linked militants, were scheduled to be hanged next week.
Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed said that the executions were halted until the prime minister and the president held talks.
He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will meet President Asif Ali Zardari when the present returns from a trip abroad.
In 2008, the previous administration put in place a moratorium on executions that expired on June 30.
Pakistan's hard-line Sunni groups have warned the government of retaliation if their comrades were executed next week.
Amnesty International estimates there are more than 8,000 prisoners on death row in Pakistan.

Yerevan: The Armenian people have launched a massive protest against the ceasefire agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia. While protesters have also demanded the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pishinyan.
It should be noted that Azerbaijan and Armenia have been in a fierce dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh ownership since 1994. Which has led to several clashes and limited wars between the two countries.
In this regard, the latest war began on September 27, while the two countries signed a ceasefire agreement on Tuesday, November 10, mediated by Russia. However, the agreement sparked outrage among the Armenian people, who began protesting against the government.
Acknowledging the Azerbaijani army’s advance in Nagorno-Karabakh under the Ceasefire Agreement, the parties have been asked to stop fighting immediately. The agreement is being celebrated in Azerbaijan, but mourning has broken out in Armenia.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pishinyan has acknowledged that the ceasefire agreement is “disastrous” but also said that he had no choice but to sign it. Otherwise, Armenia would have lost the war.
According to news agencies, there was a strong public reaction against the agreement, and the Armenian people took to the streets. In the riots and protests that began on Tuesday, the people also flouted martial law restrictions in Armenia.
During the protests, several government buildings were set on fire, and the parliament building was attacked. Despite the Armenian army’s arrest of opposition leaders in the wake of the crackdown, anti-government protests continue.

When asked by #WeekendBreakfast host Phemelo Motene about the sudden outbreak of violence in Soweto due to allegations of fake foods. Spokesperson for the National Consumer Commission, Trevor Hattingh said that he was definitely surprised to hear about the allegations.
What's being alleged is that there are individuals in the country who are manufacturing their own food says Hattingh.
What is now happening is that the labels and containers are authentic, but the content is not the real thing.— Trevor Hattingh, spokesperson for the National Consumer Commission
These allegations are new to us said the spokesperson for the National Consumer Commission.
He adds that they have jurisdiction and the responsibility to conduct inspections.
We conduct regular inspections on a local level says Hattingh.

Eoin Morgan aims to swing the strain away from Peter Moores
England players may feel that they have seen more of the Sri Lanka cricketers than their own families over the past few months, but familiarity with surroundings rather than the opposition makes Eoin Morgan feel that his team have the advantage before the World Cup game tonight.
Unlike Sri Lanka, England have already played at the Westpac Stadium during the tournament. While the experience was memorably unhappy, Morgan thinks that his players have drawn knowledge from the eight-wicket loss to New Zealand, a game lasting 45.4 overs in its entirety.
“We have learnt that the ball swung throughout the first innings and we have been preparing for the possibility of that happening again,” Morgan, the captain, said. “We have worked on that scenario and the

President Mamnoon Hussain Friday said that the polio virus affected Pakistan owing to conflicts in the region and the international community should extend support to the country to cope with the disease.
Addressing the International Medical Conference here, the President said the medical education in Pakistan was at par with the international standards and involvement of private sector had helped
improve the situation.
However, he said it was unfortunate that far flung areas were yet deprived of the health facilities that required due attention.
There was also need to make the people aware about health care and hygiene and the government could not succeed without cooperation from the civil society and medical practitioners, he added.
Therefore, the President desired the medical institutions to sign agreements with the international research institutions and renowned universities to benefit from the experiences of the developed countries.
The President said the absence of health facilities in far flung areas was a chronic issue and the lack of doctors' interest to serve in those areas and lack of infrastructure there were among the
major reasons behind this.
He said the government was paying attention to the issue as various proposals were also under consideration and the people would get good news in that regard.
The President said the private sector should also fulfill its responsibilities to reform the system.
He observed that the bilateral relations of Pakistan and the United Kingdom in the field of medicine were decades old and Pakistani doctors were benefiting from the Royal College of Physicians.
Similarly, the founders of the Royal College also took advantage of the knowledge and research by Muslim scholars, doctors and medical experts, he added.
He said it was pleasing that the bilateral ties in the field of medicine were strengthening with the passage of time and Pakistani doctors preferred to get education from Royal College.
The President lauded the decision of Royal College to hold examination of the first and second part of the MRCP in Pakistan adding that the holding of Clinical examination here would also have positive impact.
Governor Punjab Muhammad Rafique Rajwana, Convener International Medical Conference Professor Akbar Chaudhry, Chief Organizer Professor Javed Akram and other prominent guests also attended the event.

Government has been urged to intensify public education campaigns on citizens' tax obligations to help mobilize adequate revenue for national development.
Mr Opoku Agyeman Prempeh, Executive Director of Centre for Moral Education and Development (CEMED), who made the call said it was time everyone was made to understand the importance of taxes and the need for them to honour their tax obligations.

He said majority of masons, carpenters, plumbers, tillers, electricians, labourers and other artisans in the construction industry were not paying taxes, even though they receive huge incomes from their work.
Mr Prempeh stressed the need for the district assemblies to mobilize these groups of workers in their areas and educate them on the need to pay their taxes.

Mr. Speaker, we have done just that. When serious deployments have been considered, our government has done so. Of course, we had a great debate with respect to the deployment of Canadian Forces in the fight against the jihadist terrorist regime, ISIL. We know that both opposition parties voted against that deployment.
We know that when it comes to protecting Canadian interests at home and abroad, the opposition will consistently vote against it. That is why they voted against the increases we have had to military funding. That is why they voted against the new equipment that we bought for the Canadian Armed Forces.

By ADRIAN MWANZA
PUBLIC service workers unions will engage the new government on the debt swap which was implemented by the Patriotic Front (PF) government.
A representative of the 15 public service workers unions, Mr Newman Bubala, said the unions were just waiting for the new President, MrHakainde Hichilema, to be sworn in so that they could meet and discuss the matter at length.
Mr Bubala said that there was no need for civil servants to panic after the regime change because they would sit and explain how the decision was arrived at with the previous regime.
He said that he was sure that they would come to an understanding because the debt swap was a relief to the civil servants who at the time were highly indebted.
“It is one of the productive policies that was put in place by the previous regime and I hope we are going to explain to the new government so that they fully understand the rationale,” he said
Mr Bubala called on the new government to be magnanimous when dealing with the matter but was quick to say the new President understood the plight of workers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition heads discussed on Saturday evening the possibility of joining Netanyahu's government because of what they call “the emergency created by the day's infiltration and rocket attacks from Gaza,” according to The Times of Israel.
Netanyahu said that he proposed to the two of them to enter into a broad emergency government, citing the joining of former Likud leader Menachem Begin to the government of then Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, on the eve of the 1967 war, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz said on Sunday.
Gantz said that he looks positively at joining a government that focuses on the security situation, even in the presence of right-wing ministers, Haaretz said.
Lapid explained in a statement that Netanyahu was aware that his “extremist and non-functional” government could not manage the war and stressed that he had no doubt that former Defense Minister Benny Gantz would also participate in such a government, Haaretz said.
He added that the emergency government "will make clear to our enemies that the overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens stand behind the Israeli army and defense agencies,” according to the Israeli newspaper.
The Times of Israel also said that secret negotiations took place during the past months to alleviate the judicial crisis in Israel and the struggle over the division of power “that has captured the collective national consciousness over the past ten months.”
Lapid and Gantz will meet on Saturday evening, according to the Times of Israel.
The two had previously criticized Netanyahu for forming a government with “extremists” and avoided the idea of forming a unity government that included them, the Israeli newspaper said.

BJP got wrong what Rahul Gandhi told Muslims, says Irfan Habib
Habib said all that Gandhi had told them was that Congress had historically drawn its strength from the support of all marginalised sections, including the poor and the backward segments.
Terming these claims as baseless, Habib said all that Gandhi had told them was that Congress had historically drawn its strength from the support of all marginalised sections, including the poor and the socially and economically backward social segments such as Dalits, Muslims and tribals.
“I was surprised by the kind of total misinterpretation being given to what Rahul Gandhi had said in that meeting with us. I was the last one among the gathering to speak at the meeting. And I told Gandhi that the Congress has become much weaker now because the party has lost the support of the poor sections of society including the Dalits, Muslims, tribals...,” Habib told ET.
On Gandhi’s reply to his observation, Habib said, “Rahul Gandhi said he fully agreed with what I had told him. Gandhi also said, that is why the Congress was now making all efforts to win back these poor sections, including Dalits, Muslims, tribals and others as the Congress has been historically the party for these poor sections. He also agreed that these sections moving away from the Congress has greatly contributed to the growth of regional parties”.

With the state’s public retirement system debt increasing $4.8 billion during the past year, state officials said the pension program has to change.
The Louisiana House and Senate retirement committees have been meeting jointly to study whether a new system of paying retired state government workers — such as, private 401(k)like plans, called “defined contribution” plans — would be better than the current “defined benefit” plans, which guarantee lifelong benefits to state retirees. Any changes would only affect new hires.
Paul Richmond with the legislative auditor’s office said the majority of state employees and teachers fund their own pension plans through their contributions. Some plans, such as those for some law enforcement agents, are more costly, he said.
Cindy Rougeou, director of the state employees’ retirement system, said she is pushing one plan for hazardous-duty employees that will help the system control costs.
House Retirement chairman Joel Robideaux said the committees have a lot of information to digest before they start making recommendations. The committees were asked to submit a report to the Legislature before the 2010 session.

This was disclosed by the Chairperson of the COVID-19 Trust Fund, Madam Sophia Akuffo.
Speaking at an event at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, 26th May, 2020, Sophia Akuffo said the move by the GRA is aimed at rewarding companies and institutions that supported the national fight against COVID-19 by donating in cash and kind.
The reliefs would be extended to those who also are also yet to donate towards the Fund.
“We’re also happy to announce that the Ghana Revenue Authority has confirmed that tax reliefs will be available to donors who make donations to the COVID-19 National Trust Fund when filing their tax returns. This is subject to fulfilling requirements that the GRA has set out in its recently published guidelines for their implementation of the tax incentives in support of taxpayers against the pandemic,” she said.
Following the impact caused by the novel coronavirus in the country, President Akufo-Addo created the COVID-19 Fund with his three-months salary as seed money, to support the well-being of those who will be worst-hit by the pandemic.
Currently, the Fund received over GHS 50 million from businesses and individuals to complement the efforts of government in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
The pandemic has already crippled many sectors of the economy and has also tightened financial conditions, compelling government to set aside GHS1 billion cedis in support of small scale businesses.
Government has also implemented several initiatives to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic on the general Ghanaian populace.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ghana Revenue Authority has already announced that taxpayers who redeem all their outstanding debts due the Authority by June 30, 2020, will be granted a remission of penalties on their principal debts.
These measures, according to the GRA, are also to ensure that taxpayers fulfill their tax obligations during the period.
In a statement issued and signed by the Commissioner General, Mr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, the GRA said the due date for filing annual tax returns will be extended from four months to six months.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
Canadian discount airline Lynx Air will shut down and suggested that it could cancel many flights over the weekend too, leaving customers scrambling to make new travel plans.
Lynx announced the shutdown late Thursday (Feb 23) and told customers to contact their credit-card company about getting a refund for cancelled flights. The Calgary, Alberta, airline said it could not help with refunds.
Canada's transport minister, Pablo Rodriguez, said he was following Lynx's announcement that it was filing for restructuring. He said he expected Lynx to help passengers get home and fully refund customers.
The shutdown will take effect early Monday. On its website, the airline said, we will continue to operate the majority of our flights through this weekend.
The airline said it put tremendous work into growth after launching the Lynx brand two years ago, but that inflation, fuel costs, competition and other factors have ultimately proven too steep a mountain for our organisation to overcome.
Lynx, previously known as Enerjet, made its first flight in April 2022 and competed for leisure travellers against Air Canada and its Rouge subsidiary, WestJet and Flair Airlines.
Just a week ago, Lynx posted on X that it was adding a third country to its network with flights between Toronto and Cancun, Mexico.

President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has said that when he was elected in 2013, the country was destroyed but with the work of four years, the country today has achieved a lot of success.
Speaking at the Independence Day function this evening at the Republic Square, President Yameen said that he got elected to do the work that needed to be done in the country for a long time and when that work began, the country was divided.
The President said that the institutes in charge of protecting national interest were fractured and the country was on the brink of civil war. And the country was in an economic pit unable to balance monthly income.
President Yameen said that his responsibility after becoming the President was to save this small country and take the people to a peaceful shore and strengthen the weakened Islamic faith in the country. And re-establish it's sovereignty and bring the country's economy sustainable.
And today, all of those challenges have been overcome.


House lawmakers on Tuesday highlighted four proposals to support mental health care workers and increase access to mental health treatment in the state.
Rep. Ann Meyer, R-Fort Dodge, said she met with constituents during her campaign who spoke about the mental health needs of their family and friends – and the difficulties having those needs met in the state.
“I had so many people standing at their doors telling me 20-minute stories about loved ones that don’t have access to mental health services, that are living on the streets, that are in crisis constantly,” she said. “I really took that to heart.”
Meyer, chair of the House Human Resources Committee, highlighted four bills: two proposals to increase the health care workforce, a change to Medicaid reimbursement rates and the creation of 46 new beds for mental health patients.
Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, a Democrat on the committee, told reporters she was “excited” about the proposed changes and intends to support all four bills.
“I’ve been here for eight years,” Brown-Powers, D-Waterloo, said. “We are finally taking the steps that people with mental health and those families have been waiting for.”

(MENAFN - Asia Times)
India's Supreme Court on Tuesday admonished the government and asked it to give people a final chance to exchange old notes that were demonetized last year, according to media reports.
When Rs500 and Rs1,000 notes were demonetized by the government in November 2016, people were given until December 31 to deposit or exchange them, after which they became worthless.
The DailyBrief Must-reads from across Asia - directly to your inbox
ANI reported that the Supreme Court gave the government two weeks to announce a decision on whether it would give those who were unable to deposit or exchange demonetized notes by the deadline one final opportunity to do so.
The Supreme Court stated: 'You cannot trash a person's genuine hard-earned money and let it go to waste like this… you had promised them a window, now you can't go back on your word to those who had genuine difficulty.'
It added: 'If a person can prove it is his money and he/she had real difficulty in depositing by December 31, he must get a chance to change them,' the court said.
After receiving the judicial direction, Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar sought a compromise, asking the court to not order the government to open a general window for everyone. However, he said the government "is agreeable to examine case by case" instances of citizens not having had the chance to deposit their old notes.

Watch Again: President Obama Tells Gun Store Owner That No One Is Coming for His Weapons (Video)
As the NRA continues to fuel fears that Democrats will take away Americans’ firearms, let’s make sure everyone hears what President Obama told a gun store owner in early June.
