U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new travel ban on Wednesday that targets 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, and Yemen, reviving one of the most controversial measures from his first term.

Trump stated that the ban was prompted by a makeshift flamethrower attack on a Jewish protest in Colorado, which U.S. authorities attributed to a man they claimed was in the country illegally.

The travel ban prohibits all entry into the United States by nationals from the following countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.

Additionally, Trump imposed a partial travel ban on individuals from seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Some temporary work visas from these countries will still be permitted.

The bans will take effect on Monday, according to the White House.

A Karachi resident who was assaulted in the Defence Housing Authority earlier this week says he has forgiven the suspect and does not want to take the case to court, even as a judge rejected the suspect’s bail in a separate hearing.

On Monday, Karachi police arrested a main suspect along with two of his employees over charges of beating a citizen named Dheeraj. The suspect, identified as Salman Farooqi, was detained by DHA, and his vehicle was impounded.

Farooqi, who was travelling in a luxury car, allegedly assaulted a motorcyclist accompanied by a woman on the Khayaban-i-Ittehad Road following a minor accident.

On the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression (June 4), a survey revealed that 60% of children in Pakistan face domestic violence—verbal, emotional, or physical.

Centers like the Amina Center in Lahore offer emotional support, but experts warn that the damage to children’s mental health is severe. Psychologists urge breaking the cycle of anger in homes, and sociologists stress creating safe, loving environments.

Experts call for school counselors and parenting workshops, warning: harsh discipline isn't teaching—it's abuse.

Former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari mocked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. He said that India was drawing its inspiration from Israel, and PM Modi tried to model himself on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, but was nowhere near him.

His remarks came while speaking at the United Nations (UN). Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is currently in New York as part of a Pakistani delegation to address the global community to counter India's delegation on Operation Sindoor.

"Mr Modi is sort of the Temu version of Netanyahu. So, like a poor copy. We call upon the Indian government not to be inspired by the worst examples possible," Bhutto-Zardari said in his speech at the UN.
