    China urged to ease food and fertiliser stockpiles amid global supply strain Key concerns over global shortages Former World Bank president David Malpass has called on China to reduce its large reserves of food and fertiliser to help ease growing pressure on global supply chains. He made the remarks ahead of a high level meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing. Malpass said China holds the largest global stock of food and fertiliser materials and argued that easing these reserves could help stabilise markets during a period of disruption caused by conflict affecting key shipping routes. Fertiliser supply disruptions deepen crisis Global fertiliser supplies have been under strain as transport routes face interruptions linked to conflict in the Middle East. Experts warn that reduced availability of fertiliser could significantly lower agricultural output worldwide. Industry leaders estimate that the disruption could threaten billions of meals each week and place the greatest burden on low income countries that depend heavily on imported food and fertiliser. One major fertiliser industry executive has warned that lower usage could reduce crop yields and trigger competition among countries for limited food supplies. China’s export limits under scrutiny China has restricted exports of several fertiliser types since March, stating that it aims to secure domestic supply. These controls add to earlier limits introduced over recent years. The country plays a major role in global fertiliser production, contributing around a quarter of worldwide output. Its exports previously generated more than thirteen billion dollars annually. Malpass criticised Beijing for continuing to present itself as a developing economy despite its position as the world second largest economy. He suggested that China should reconsider its status in global institutions such as the World Trade Organization and international financial bodies. China responds to criticism A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington said China remains committed to supporting stability in global food and fertiliser markets. The statement added that the causes of current supply disruptions should not be attributed solely to China. Global implications ahead of diplomatic talks The comments come as international leaders prepare for discussions aimed at addressing trade tensions, supply chain instability, and energy security concerns. Fertiliser availability and food security are expected to be key topics during the meeting.

    Pentagon to Review Senator Mark Kelly’s Comments on US Weapon Stockpiles Hegseth Questions Kelly’s Statements on Military Munitions US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a Pentagon review after Democratic Senator Mark Kelly spoke publicly about America’s military weapon stockpiles during a television interview. The issue has sparked a political clash over national security, classified information, and military readiness. During an interview on CBS News’ Face The Nation, Kelly expressed concern about the condition of US munitions reserves following the recent conflict with Iran. He said he was surprised by how much the US had reduced its military stockpiles during the war effort. Kelly referred to a Pentagon briefing that discussed specific munitions and replenishment timelines. His comments quickly drew criticism from Hegseth, who accused the senator of publicly discussing sensitive military information. Pentagon Asked to Review Possible Disclosure In a post on X, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly had violated his oath by revealing details from a Pentagon briefing. He criticized the senator for discussing the matter on national television and called for an official review of the comments. Kelly strongly rejected the accusation. He responded by saying the information was already discussed publicly during a Senate hearing held the previous week. The Arizona senator also shared a video clip from the hearing, pointing out that Hegseth himself had acknowledged it could take years to rebuild certain US weapon stockpiles. Kelly argued that his comments did not expose classified material. He added that the American public deserves transparency about the cost of military operations and the long term impact on US defense readiness. Legal Dispute Between Kelly and Pentagon Continues The latest controversy comes as tensions continue between Kelly and the Pentagon leadership. Earlier this year, Kelly filed a lawsuit against the government after Hegseth allegedly attempted to demote him for criticizing the Trump administration. The legal battle began after Kelly and five other lawmakers released a video in November encouraging US service members to refuse unlawful military orders. Pentagon officials later challenged the lawmakers’ actions, leading to a broader political and legal dispute. In February, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Pentagon from carrying out the proposed demotion while the lawsuit moved forward. However, the Pentagon appealed the ruling. Recently, a federal appeals court appeared likely to reject the Pentagon’s effort to punish Kelly over his remarks to service members. If the court rules against the Pentagon, it would mark another setback for the Trump administration in its ongoing dispute with the senator. Debate Over National Security and Transparency The disagreement has fueled debate in Washington over how much information elected officials should share about military preparedness. Supporters of Kelly say lawmakers have a responsibility to discuss defense concerns openly, especially when military operations affect national resources. Critics, however, argue that public discussions involving weapons inventories and defense capabilities could risk exposing sensitive national security information. The Pentagon has not confirmed whether a formal investigation has officially started. Officials have only referred back to Hegseth’s public statements regarding the matter.

    Hantavirus Outbreak Reported on Atlantic Cruise Ship Incident Overview Health authorities have reported a serious hantavirus situation on a cruise ship sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel, MV Hondius operated by Oceanwide Expeditions, was traveling from Argentina toward Cape Verde when multiple passengers fell ill. Three people have died during the incident. A Dutch married couple and a German passenger were among the deceased. Officials have confirmed two hantavirus cases so far, including a Dutch woman who later died after leaving the ship. Investigations continue to determine the exact cause of the remaining deaths. Two crew members also developed breathing related symptoms while on board. One showed mild illness and the other required urgent medical attention. What Is Hantavirus Hantavirus refers to a group of viruses carried mainly by rodents. Humans usually become infected when they breathe in particles contaminated with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. This virus does not typically spread from person to person. Infection usually happens in environments where rodent activity is present and contaminated dust becomes airborne. People may also get infected through rodent bites or scratches, but this is less common. How the Virus Spreads The main transmission route involves inhalation of infected particles in the air. When dried rodent waste is disturbed, it can release virus particles into the environment. Risk increases in enclosed or poorly cleaned areas where rodents live or have lived. Travel environments, storage areas, or remote locations can increase exposure risk if rodent control is weak. Symptoms and Health Risks Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome This form affects the lungs. Early signs include fever, fatigue, and muscle pain. As the illness progresses, patients may experience headaches, dizziness, chills, and stomach discomfort. Breathing problems can develop suddenly. In severe cases, the condition becomes life threatening. Health data shows a high death rate once respiratory symptoms begin. Hemorrhagic Fever with Kidney Complications This form affects the kidneys and blood vessels. Symptoms may include low blood pressure, bleeding inside the body, and kidney failure. It can become severe without fast medical care. Current Cases Under Investigation A 69 year old British passenger is currently in intensive care in South Africa and has tested positive for hantavirus. The Dutch woman who died after leaving the ship also tested positive. Health officials are still testing crew members who showed respiratory symptoms. Results have not yet confirmed whether they are infected with the virus.

KARACHI: The Karachi Traffic Police have issued an updated traffic plan as construction work continues on the K-4 water supply project along University Road.

Authorities previously announced the closure of University Road from November 10 to December 30 for the installation of new water pipelines under the Karachi Water and Sewerage System Improvement Project (KWSSIP).

Now, the service lane from Aziz Bhatti Park to Federal Urdu University will also remain closed. Commuters from Sir Syed University are being diverted toward Ghaziabad Road, while the route from Safari Park to Hasan Square will stay accessible.

Traffic congestion is expected in nearby areas due to the closure of this major route. Officials plan to lay 2.7 kilometres of pipelines between NIPA Chowrangi and Federal Urdu University during the first phase, with the second phase extending from Hasan Square to NIPA Chowrangi. The work includes installation of 96-inch and 72-inch water lines, with a completion deadline of December 30.

Authorities have urged commuters to plan travel accordingly and cooperate to ensure smooth traffic flow during the project.
