Jemima Goldsmith blocks all emails from Pakistan
After being a victim of cyber-harassment, the former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, Jemima Goldsmith, has blocked all emails from Pakistan, ARY News reported on Friday.
Jemima Goldsmith took to social media platform X [formerly Twitter] to address her friends in Pakistan, explaining that she had to block all emails from the country due to cyber harassment.
She blamed the online harassment campaign on PTI’s opposition parties, referring to them as “PTI’s desperate opponents.”
In her message, Jemima noted that X has been banned in Pakistan, so only those using VPNs would be able to view her post.
She concluded by reflecting on her enduring connection to Pakistan, stating that “Pakistani politics is a gift that continues to haunt me even 20 years after leaving the country.”

Artists imagine a new utopia for Kenya’s capital
Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, has long been known as “the green city in the sun” because of its mix of forest and grasslands among the urban sprawl, but it all depends on where you are viewing it from.
Seen from one of the city’s comfortable apartment blocks or homes, then yes, perhaps – from one of its densely packed slums, then no.
There, life can be characterised by poverty and ecological disaster, such as flooding and deadly landslides.
But an art collective – Kairos Futura – has been trying to take what might seem like some of the city’s more dystopian elements and create a vision of a utopia, or at least how that might be achieved.
Their exhibition Hakuna Utopia features the works of seven artists exploring themes of apocalypse and resilience – some in quite abstract ways – as they respond to the daily challenges endured by Nairobi’s six million residents.

Queer to Baby Reindeer: How LGBTQ stories got real in 2024
From Queer to Baby Reindeer and Will & Harper, LGBTQ representation took a step forward as film and TV showed more varied and authentic characters than ever before.
Luca Guadagnino’s latest film, Queer, takes us to the dream-like streets of 1950s Mexico City, where we meet Lee (Daniel Craig) – a US expat who spends most of his time downing tequila shots, smoking, and (mostly unsuccessfully) pursuing young men. As Lee self-medicates with alcohol and opiates, he becomes infatuated with Allerton (Drew Starkey), a handsome former US navy serviceman who he meets by chance. The pair soon start a relationship where, for the first time, Lee experiences sex that feels reciprocal, with emotional strings attached. But Allerton soon becomes distant. As a confused

AI is trained to spot warning signs in blood tests
This is the third feature in a six-part series that is looking at how AI is changing medical research and treatments.
Ovarian cancer is “rare, underfunded, and deadly”, says Audra Moran, head of the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (Ocra), a global charity based in New York.
Like all cancers, the earlier it is detected the better.
Most ovarian cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, so by the time it gets to the ovaries, it may have already spread elsewhere too.
“Five years prior to ever having a symptom is when you might have to detect ovarian cancer, to affect mortality,” says Ms Moran.
But new blood tests are emerging that use the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to spot signs of the cancer in its very early stages.
And it’s not just cancer, AI can also speed up other blood tests for potentially deadly infections like pneumonia.
