  • Boat service linking South Korea\’s Busan and Japan\’s Tsushima resumes

    After a three-year suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic, the high-speed boat service between South Korea\’s port city of Busan and Tsushima, the Japanese island closest to the Korean Peninsula, has resumed on Saturday. The route is operated by two South Korean operators, mainly on weekends, with the number of passengers limited to 100 per sailing. The boat service began in 1999, and the popularity of Tsushima soared when jetfoils entered into use in 2011, linking the two ports with a 70-minute ride. In 2018, a record 410,000 people visited Tsushima from South Korea. However, the number of visitors dropped significantly in 2019 due to the deterioration in bilateral ties.

    The resumption of the boat service is welcomed by both South Korean travelers and Tsushima residents. The 63-year-old from Daejeon in the central part of South Korea who boarded a boat from Busan on Saturday morning expressed his excitement of being back after a long while. The Panstar Group, which began serving the Busan-Tsushima route when the route was resumed, hopes to see many people use its service. Yukihiro Yamada, the 59-year-old owner of a restaurant near Hitakatsu port, also pins his hopes on the resumption of the boat service. The Tsushima municipal government intends to consider loosening the limits on the number of passengers while keeping tabs on infection cases.

  • Dr Ishrat calls for linking research with implications for poverty alleviation

    At a conference in Lahore, Pakistan, former Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan Dr Ishrat Hussain discussed the implications of research in Pakistan for poverty alleviation and human development. He argued that Pakistani migrants should take advantage of the opportunity to acquire new skills from host markets, and suggested that there has been a trend in re-adoption of local ineffective practices, signalling negative social remittances. Other speakers discussed cultural globalization and the role of technological advancements, the growing disjuncture between how migrants perceive their home country and how it may have actually evolved, and the relationship between international migration and reduction in fertility. They also discussed how social remittances impact the migration process itself. This conference was an important opportunity to explore the implications of social remittances for Pakistan and to understand how it can contribute to human development.

  • Tottenham tight-lipped on report linking Jahm Najafi with £3.1bn takeover bid

    ٹوٹنہم ان رپورٹوں پر تبصرہ نہیں کر رہے ہیں کہ وہ ایرانی نژاد امریکی ارب پتی جاہم نجفی کے £3.1 بلین کے قبضے کا موضوع بننے والے ہیں۔

    عجفی، جو ایم ایس پی اسپورٹس کیپیٹل گروپ کے چیئرمین ہیں، این بی اے کی جانب سے فینکس سنز میں اقلیتی مالک ہیں اور فارمولا ون ٹیم میک لارن میں سرمایہ کاری کر رہے ہیں، فنانشل ٹائمز کے مطابق، اسپرس کو خریدنے کے لیے بولی شروع کرنے کی تیاری کر رہے ہیں۔

    اس میں کہا گیا ہے کہ MSP، جس کے متعدد یورپی فٹ بال کلبوں میں حصص ہیں، مجوزہ قیمت کا 70 فیصد لگائے گا، ابوظہبی کے سرمایہ کار موجودہ مالک جو لیوس اور چیئرمین ڈینیئل لیوی کو بقیہ پیشکش کرنے کے لیے تیار ہیں۔

    اس سوشل میڈیا مواد کو لوڈ کرنے کے لیے ہمیں آپ کی رضامندی درکار ہے۔

    ہم اضافی مواد کا نظم کرنے کے لیے متعدد مختلف سوشل میڈیا آؤٹ لیٹس استعمال کرتے ہیں جو آپ کے آلے پر کوکیز سیٹ کر سکتے ہیں اور آپ کی سرگرمی کے بارے میں ڈیٹا اکٹھا کر سکتے ہیں۔ براہ کرم ان کی تفصیلات کا جائزہ لیں اور انہیں مواد لوڈ کرنے کے لیے قبول کریں۔

    MSP کی ویب سائٹ کا کہنا ہے کہ وہ \”کھیلوں کی ٹیموں، لیگوں اور کاروباروں میں کھیلوں کے ماحولیاتی نظام میں سرمایہ کاری کرتی ہے جو پرجوش، چیلنجنگ کاموں کو آگے بڑھا رہی ہیں\” اور یہ کہ \”ان مواقع پر توجہ مرکوز کرتی ہے جہاں ہماری گہری مہارت اور پرنسپلز کے اشرافیہ کے نیٹ ورک کی قدر ہوتی ہے\”۔

    یہ خبر اسپرس کے شائقین کو اچھی طرح سے موصول ہوسکتی ہے، جنہوں نے حال ہی میں شمالی لندن کلب کے لیوس اور لیوی کے چلانے پر احتجاج کیا ہے۔

    اگرچہ انہوں نے £1bn کا ایک جدید ترین اسٹیڈیم فراہم کیا ہے، جو 2019 میں کھولا گیا تھا اور آمدنی کے سلسلے میں بہت زیادہ اضافہ کرنے کے لیے تیار ہے، لیکن کلب کے مالکان اسپرس کے ساتھ کھیلنے والے اسکواڈ میں سرمایہ کاری کی کمی کی وجہ سے شدید آگ کی زد میں آگئے ہیں۔ 2008 سے ٹرافی نہیں جیتی۔

    لیوی کی بدنام زمانہ گفت و شنید کی مہارت اور چیلسی کی £4.25bn میں حالیہ فروخت کو دیکھتے ہوئے، یہ دیکھنا باقی ہے کہ آیا نجفی کی رپورٹ کردہ پیشکش – اگر یہ عمل میں آتی ہے – کو قبول کیا جائے گا۔
