ISLAMABAD: Pakistan confirmed 88 more deaths from novel coronavirus during last 24 hours as the nationwide tally of fatalities has jumped to 1,483, ARY News reported on Sunday.

According to the National Command and Operation Center (NCOC), 3,039 new coronavirus cases surfaced during the past twenty-four hours, taking the nationwide tally to 69,496.

Sindh remains the worst-hit province by the pandemic followed by Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

According to the latest figures, 27,360 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Sindh, 25,056 in Punjab, 9,540 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 4,193 in Balochistan, 2,192 in Islamabad, 660 in Gilgit-Baltistan and 234 in Azad Kashmir.

Furthermore, 453 individuals have lost their lives to the epidemic in KP, 475 in Punjab, 465 in Sindh, 46 in Balochistan, 23 in Islamabad and 9 in GB.

25,271 people have been recovered from the virus so far while 42,739 are still under treatment. Pakistan has so far conducted 547,009 coronavirus tests and 14,972 in past 24 hours.

World virus cases top 6 mn 

The number of coronavirus cases worldwide topped six million Sunday, with Brazil registering another record surge in daily infections as divisions deepened on how to deal with the pandemic.

Latin American countries are bracing for difficult weeks ahead as the disease spreads rapidly across the region, even as much of the world exits lockdowns that have wrecked economies and stripped millions of their jobs.

In Brazil — the epicentre of South America’s outbreak with nearly 500,000 confirmed cases, lagging only behind the United States — disagreement among leaders over lockdown measures has hampered efforts to slow the virus as the number of fatalities in the country nears 30,000.

As the global death toll from the pandemic surpassed 368,000, US President Donald Trump’s decision to permanently cut funding to the World Health Organization has been broadly criticised.

The number of confirmed cases worldwide is more than six million, according to an AFP tally.

بھٹو اور شریفوں کے درمیان باہمی اعتماد کے فقدان سے کس نے فائدہ اٹھایا؟ سینئر صحافی نے خبر دار کردیا

اسلام آباد(مانیٹرنگ ڈیسک)بھٹو اور شریفوں کے درمیان باہمی اعتماد کے فقدان کی 1970 کی دہائی سے ایک تاریخ ہے۔ انہوں نے بداعتمادی کو ختم کرکے اعتماد سازی کیلئے اکثر کوششیں بھی کیں لیکن زخم اس قدر گہرے ہیں کہ انہیں مندمل کرنا آسان نہ ہو گا۔ اسی چیز نے پنجاب اور سندھ میں ان کے کارکنوں کے درمیان خلیج حائل کردی ہے۔روزنامہ جنگ میں مظہر عباسی لکھتے ہیں کہ نئی قیادت کو نئی سیاسی حکمت عملی کے ساتھ سامنے آنے کے بجائے وہی نفرتیں اور سیاسی عدم اعتمادی آئندہ نسل میں منتقل کی جا رہی ہے۔ مریم نواز اور بلاول بھٹو زرداری بھی اسی ڈگر پر چل پڑے ہیں۔ ان رویوں نے ملک میں سیاسی و جمہوری عمل کو شدید نقصان پہنچایا ہے۔ لیکن اس بات سے طاقتور حلقوں کو سیاسی نظام میں دخل اندازی اور ایک دوسرے کو لڑانے کا موقع مل گیا۔ چونکہ آج بھی معاملات نواز شریف اور آصف علی زرداری کے قابو میں ہیں لہذا مریم اور بلاول بھی ماضی کی سیاست کے ہی یرغمال ہیں۔انہیں اس ماضی سے نکلنے میں دشواری کا سامنا ہے۔ اپنے بزرگوں کے اختیار کردہ موقف اور راستے سے انحراف ان دونوں کے لئے آسان نہیں ہے۔ پی ڈی ایم کے سربراہ اجلاس میں یہی کچھ ہوا جب مسلم لیگ ...
