The Pakistan Economic Survey arrives each June in two registers. The first is the press conference: growth is back, inflation has been beaten. The second is the statistical annex, which records, without adjectives, what actually happened—and this year it describes a stabilisation, real, hard-won, and worth defending.

Fake news about Warriors coach Andrew Webster is part of a griefbait slop epidemic. I t turns out that top of the list of our collective concerns about “possible threats to New Zealand’s vital interests” is not climate change or cyberattacks, not economic downturn or even military conflict, but fake news and misinformation. A survey of more than 2,000 New Zealanders, published this week by the Asia NZ Foundation, found 39% of us reckon it’s a medium concern, and 51% say it’s a high concern.

• Overall development outlay slashed by 25pc to Rs3.218tr • Federal PSDP reduced to Rs1tr, provincial ADPs to Rs2.218tr • No new projects except for interior, defence ministries • PM says strengthening defence is country’s biggest challenge • Ahsan says Pakistan lagged behind region due to weak investment in education, skills ISLAMABAD: Freezing provincial development plans at their actual utilisation this year, the National Economic Council (NEC) on Wednesday cut the federal and provincial development budget by one-fourth to Rs3.218 trillion for the next fiscal year from Rs4.264tr cleared by the Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC) last week. Of the Rs1.046tr total cut, the combined annual development plans (ADPs) of the four provinces were slashed by almost one-third (29.3pc) to Rs2.218tr — roughly their actual utilisation so far in the current fiscal year — compared to the Rs3.138tr provincial portfolio finalised by the APCC on June 1. Punjab’s development plan was chopped by almost half, or 49pc, the biggest cut among all stakeholders, while Balochistan remained unaffected and actually secured more.

Political — 4 signals

American President Donald Trump is often described by many as an ‘irrational’ man. Yet, there are those who claim he is instead an over-the-top practitioner of the ‘Madman Theory.’ This theory encapsulates a political concept suggesting that a leader can gain a significant advantage in international negotiations or crises by convincing opponents that he or she is irrational, unstable, or downright ‘crazy’. Former US President Richard Nixon coined the term during his tenure, even though the underlying strategy had been present in modern politics long before Nixon gave it a formal name.

Foreign Policy article calls Iran war a bigger defeat than Vietnam The United States' war against Iran represents a more serious strategic setback than the Vietnam War, contending that it directly damaged core US interests and weakened Washington's position on the global stage, a Foreign Policy analyst has reported. Writing in Foreign Policy, Paul Musgrave, an associate professor of political science at Georgetown University in Qatar, said the consequences of the conflict could prove more significant than those of Vietnam, which did not prevent the United States from ultimately prevailing in the Cold War. Musgrave described the conflict as a "war of choice" initiated by President Donald Trump and argued that it ended in a political and military disaster.

Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here, Singh also said emerging technologies have altered the very definition of warfare. "Earlier, it seemed that the big powers had a decisive edge on the battlefield.
