The End of the world, American Scientist

1

Sixty-five years ago, American scientist Heinz von Forster predicted the end of the world on November 13, 2026.

Von Forster believes that the growing population will be the main reason for the end of the world and the death of humanity because it will overwhelm the planet’s capacity and resources.

The scientist warned that the rapidly expanding human population will eventually have catastrophic effects. The end of the human race could be the result of either the effects of the growing population or self-destruction, which could be brought about by nuclear war or other destructive means.

Von Forster also offered a possible solution to prevent this dilemma, stating that policies such as limiting population growth and imposing higher taxes on large families could prevent the population from growing too quickly and prevent future catastrophe.

More interestingly, the prediction suggests that this day will actually come on Friday, November 13, 2026.

The echo of the drama is clearly visible on the famous British media BBC, which has included special scenes of this drama in its extensive report.

The drama Case No. 9 is also being mentioned in the BBC report.

Referring to Case No. 9, the BBC used these lines from the drama in the report.

Is there a time when Sahar refuses me? There is a difference between flirting, getting angry and raping. Sahar is divorced, not a virgin. To this, Sahar’s lawyer responds that the accused Kamran and his lawyer are questioning the character of all divorced women and are using tactics that are usually used to prevent the victim from moving forward in rape cases.

The TV drama “Case No. 9,” which is based on a rape case, presents these sequences. In the drama, a rape case is being cross-examined in the courtroom. Citing the decision of Supreme Court judge Justice Ayesha Malik, the victim’s lawyer, Sahar, explains in the drama that “questioning the character of the victim or whether she is a virgin or not, does not determine that she was not raped, but rather the trial of the girl who was raped begins instead of the accused.”

According to the accused’s lawyer Kamran, an innocent man is being accused of a heinous crime like rape, which raises concerns about Sahar’s character. Even if a person has multiple sexual relationships, he does not deserve to be raped.

The courtroom of the drama is undoubtedly very grand, but during the cross-examination of the accused Kamran, the questions, style and gestures of the defense lawyer are exactly what victims of abuse usually face in court.

The drama has sparked a new debate on social media. While some people consider the facts presented in the drama to be important, others believe that challenging questions during cross-examination are an integral part of Pakistani legal proceedings.

How much Gold do Pakistanis Buy Annually?

1

Pakistan buys 60 to 90 tones of gold annually.

Pakistan has an annual demand of 60 to 90 tones of gold, worth between $8 billion and $12 billion. Yet, more than 90% of this transaction is still undocumented.

According to a study on “Pakistan’s Gold Market” published by the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) on Wednesday, weddings and festivals account for 70% of the country’s gold demand.

Furthermore, Pakistan bought $17 million worth of gold in fiscal year 2024. By the end of 2025, the country’s official reserves were 64.76 tones, or about $9 billion.

According to the analysis, the Reko Diq project could yield 17.9 million ounces of gold, worth about $54 billion at current prices, and generate up to $74 billion in revenue over the next 37 years.

However, the CCP warned that if urgent reforms are not implemented in the refining, hallmarking and regulating sectors, this precious commodity could potentially become part of the same unofficial system.

The CCP claims that the problems of Pakistan’s gold market include impersonal supervision, interference by many organizations, poor implementation of hallmarking, and high compliance costs, all of which encourage smuggling and unofficial trade.

Furthermore, the regulatory environment has become more unstable as a result of the suspension of SRO 760, which has further hampered the export of jewelry and gemstones.

Due to the absence of an open market mechanism, the country’s this trade is mostly concentrated in major cities like Karachi and Lahore, and daily prices are determined by dealers’ associations.

To regularize domestic gold, the CCP has proposed setting up a single regulatory body, making hallmarking mandatory, introducing modern digital monitoring technologies like blockchain technology, and establishing a gold banking system.

The tax system, labor laws, and data governance will also need to be improved in line with international standards.
