INDIO, United States—A tale of forbidden love with an infectious hook, Ali Sethi's song 'Pasoori' has become an international phenomenon, fusing poetic tradition with global beats to fuel the rise of the Pakistani singer's star. The Punjabi track whose title roughly translates to 'difficult mess' was 2022's most-searched song on Google and has surpassed half a billion views on YouTube, offering a melodic metaphor for conflict between India and Pakistan in the form of an impassioned love song with an eminently danceable flow.

For Netflix Inc, a mild deterioration in the consumer economy is a potential blessing in disguise. To start with, the less money people have, the more likely they are to stay home, where movie-streaming became such a popular form of entertainment during the pandemic. Then there's the impact on competitors who have been striving to make inroads into Netflix's lead. Having plowed big money into streaming services in recent years, the likes of Walt Disney Co and Paramount Global are now making cuts in the area, deterred by the tougher conditions.

A view of burned debris after wildfires devastated the historic town of Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, U.S., August 10, 2023. (Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources/Handout via REUTERS) MAALAEA, Hawaii  -Hawaiian officials on Friday were still trying to determine what caused a deadly wildfire to sweep through Lahaina on Maui island with terrifying speed, killing at least 67 and decimating the historic resort town with little warning to residents. The death toll was expected to rise as search teams combed through the charred ruins of the town with the aid of cadaver dogs, after the fire torched 1,000 buildings and left thousands homeless in what officials say is the worst natural disaster in the state's history.

By Hasnah Jusid KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia needs to increase the number of direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah in its bid to become a hub for umrah pilgrims from around the world, particularly the Asian region. Malaysian Umrah and Haj Travel Agency Association (PAPUH) president Datuk Seri Razali Mohd Sham said this was crucial, as currently, the number of direct flights to Jeddah offered by existing airlines was sometimes insufficient even for the locals. bootstrap slideshow 'That is why direct flights to Jeddah or transit flights to Middle Eastern countries should be increased to attract pilgrims from regional countries,' he said when met by Bernama.

Coastal forests are increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change and sea level rise. However, scientists have an incomplete understanding of what this means for soil stability. This experiment examined how soil might change when transplanted between parts of a tidal creek that differed in salinity. Scientists found that soils with a history of salinity and inundation by seawater were more resistant to changes in water properties and movement. This suggests that the soils had already "learned" how to adapt to environmental changes.

Every year in Australia, an estimated 2,500 children under three years old present to hospital emergency departments because of injuries from unsuitable or dangerous toys. The Albanese Government has approved, following consultation and advice from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), a new mandatory safety standard for toys marketed at children under three years. The new safety standard focuses on minimising choking and suffocation risks for small children. Toys including rattles and teethers, commonly found in the homes of everyday Australian families, are among the items most often recalled by the ACCC.

Lies Where It Falls is a theatrical memoire, an incredibly personal retelling of a set of moments in Ruairi Conaghan's life and career. We hear about the highs and lows of sharing his name with his uncle, Judge Rory Conaghan who was shot by the IRA and died when Ruairi was just eight years old. And the highs and lows of the acting profession which can bring about remarkable opportunities, not all of which Ruairi felt he could rise to. Ruairi is an expressive actor, one of the best. One moment, he can be nimble with his glances; the next, he's throwing his full body into a shape to explode into another point.
