Canada has introduced stricter documentation requirements for digital nomads entering the country under a work-permit exemption, requiring applicants to provide evidence that their income is earned entirely outside Canada and that they work remotely for foreign employers or overseas clients.Under Canadian immigration rules, digital nomads, remote workers employed by foreign companies or self-employed individuals serving overseas clients—can stay in Canada as visitors and work remotely for up to six months without obtaining a work permit, according to a report by CIC News. This exemption applies because they are not considered to be entering the Canadian labour market. Previously, immigration officers were instructed that digital nomads did not need to provide additional documentation beyond what is generally required from visitors. The updated guidance now directs officers to verify that applicants earn their income outside Canada and do not provide services to Canadian employers or clients. More clarity for immigration officers The revised instructions also provide additional guidance for officers assessing digital nomad applications. According to the updated rules, as cited by CIC News, digital nomads who wish to remain in Canada beyond their initially authorized stay should apply for a visitor record. Applicants must also satisfy immigration officers that they do not intend to enter the Canadian labour market during their stay. The guidance further states that accompanying family members must submit separate applications for their own temporary resident status. General entry requirements remain Canada's immigration department also clarified that digital nomads must continue to meet all standard requirements applicable to temporary residents. This includes demonstrating sufficient financial resources to support themselves during their stay, convincing officers that they will leave Canada when their authorized stay ends, and meeting admissibility requirements related to health and criminality. According to the CIC News report, the updated instructions also state that a digital nomad already in Canada may work for a Canadian employer without obtaining a work permit only if they qualify under a separate work-permit exemption set out in Canada's immigration regulations. The changes provide immigration officers with more detailed criteria for assessing digital nomad entries while reinforcing the requirement that remote workers benefiting from the exemption remain outside Canada's domestic labour market.
• Prolonged agitation threatens AJK’s upcoming elections • Abolishing 12 assembly seats for Pakistan-based refugees remains key stumbling block • Govt says talks still on MUZAFFARABAD: Marathon talks between a federal ministerial team and the core leadership of the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) ended without a breakthrough late on Saturday night, prompting the latter to announce that its June 9 strike would proceed as planned. The lengthy dialogue, convened to persuade the JAAC to withdraw its strike call and resolve differences over its charter of demands, stretched for more than nine hours with intermittent breaks. The outcome has heightened concerns over political stability in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), where general elections are expected in the last week of July. “Today, we held talks with the representatives of the governments of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir throughout the day on all issues, including the 12 refugee seats,” JAAC core member Shaukat Nawaz Mir told reporters after the talks ended at 11:20pm. “Despite the breach of trust, we had detailed discussions, and proposals were exchanged as well,” he said, adding that government representatives had requested them to postpone the planned strike. “But we have decided to keep our strike call intact,” he said. However, he added, the JAAC remained open to future engagement. The talks assumed added significance amid growing fears that any prolonged agitation could affect preparations for the upcoming elections. Although the election schedule has yet to be announced, political observers believe sustained unrest could complicate the polling process. The federal delegation included cabinet members Rana Sanaullah, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Ahsan Iqbal of the PML-N, as well as former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and former minister Qamar Zaman Kaira representing the PPP. AJK Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore, PPP regional president Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin, PML-N regional president Shah Ghulam Qadir and party regional secretary general Chaudhry Tariq Farooq also attended. Minister for Kashmir Affairs Amir Muqam did not participate in the talks. His absence came amid repeated JAAC demands that he be excluded from the process over allegations of bias. Members of the federal team, however, said he was occupied with matters relating to the GB elections. The JAAC side comprised 16 core members, including Shaukat Nawaz Mir, Raja Amjad Ali Khan, Anjum Zaman Awan, Umar Nazir Kashmiri, Saad Ansari and Imtiaz Aslam. The first session began shortly before 2pm and continued until 4pm. Participants said 37 of the 38 points in the JAAC’s charter of demands were discussed. The sole unresolved issue — and the most contentious one — remained the abolition of 12 legislative assembly seats reserved for Pakistan-based refugees from India-held Kashmir. The refugee seats have emerged as the principal stumbling block in the negotiations. The PML-N’s AJK chapter opposes their abolition, partly because it expects to perform strongly in the 10 refugee constituencies located in Punjab. The PPP, which currently enjoys the support of five refugee lawmakers, is considered less invested in retaining the arrangement. After a break, the second round of talks resumed at 6:10pm and lasted till 11:20pm. Speaking to reporters afterwards, Rana Sanaullah insisted the dialogue process remained alive. “The negotiations have absolutely not failed; this process will continue,” he said. He added that discussions had taken place in a positive atmosphere and that both sides had exchanged proposals. According to him, the AJK government and the opposition PML-N have agreed to convene an all-parties conference on the situation and the JAAC’s demands. Another round of talks is expected on June 6 or 7 following the conference. He expressed confidence that the dispute would be resolved before the elections, which he said would be held in accordance with the Constitution. Published in Dawn, May 31st, 2026

PESHAWAR: Peshawar High Court has ruled that a case of ‘kidnapping for ransom’ was triable by the anti-terrorism court because of its inclusion in the Schedule of the anti-terrorism law. A bench consisting of Justice Mudassir Ameer and Justice Aurangzeb rejected pleas of four of the accused in the high-profile Dr Warda Mushtaq murder case from Abbottabad, seeking deletion of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997, from the FIR of the occurrence and transferring of the case to an ordinary court. It upheld an order of the ATC Hazara region of April 13, 2026, whereby the present petitioners had moved an application for transferring their case to a regular court. The petitioners included a central character in the case, Ms Rida Waheed Jadoon, her husband Waheed Ahmad and two others Nadeem and Pervez. Rejects accused’s plea to transfer Dr Warda murder case to regular court The bench, in its 16-page detailed judgement, decided the question: “Whether the learned Anti-Terrorism Court, Hazara Division, Abbottabad possesses lawful jurisdiction under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 to try the petitioners for the offence under Section 365-A (kidnapping for ransom), P.P.C., notwithstanding the contention that the ingredients constituting ‘terrorism’ within the meaning of Section 6 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 are not attracted to the facts of the case?” On December 4, 2025, Dr Warda was allegedly taken from the hospital by her friend, Rida Waheed, to her house on the pretext of returning the 67 tolas of gold jewelry she had taken from her. However, the medic’s body was later recovered from the Leli Banuta forest on December 8. The FIR of the incident was initially registered on Dec 5, 2025, at Abbottabad’s Cantt Police Station, by the father of the deceased, under different provisions of the PPC (Pakistan Penal Code) and Section 7 of the ATA. After the confirmation of the doctor’s death, Section 302 (intentional murder) PPC was also included in the FIR. The complainant’s counsel, Atif Ali Khan Jadoon, and additional advocate general Sardar Basharat opposed the petitions, contending that the ATC had the jurisdiction to try the accused in the instant case. The bench observed that it was an admitted position that initially, Section 7(1)(a) of the ATA was incorporated in the FIR but later, the charge under Section 365-A PPC was framed against the accused by the trial court. “It is equally undisputed that offence under Section 365-A, PPC falls within Entry No. 4 of the Third schedule appended to the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997,” it observed. The bench discussed in detail several provisions of the ATA and ruled: “A bare reading of the above provisions unmistakably demonstrates that the Anti-Terrorism Court derives jurisdiction not only in respect of offences which strictly fall within the definition of ‘terrorism’ under Section 6 of the Act but also in respect of ‘scheduled offences’ specifically incorporated in the Third Schedule to the Act. Thus, the jurisdiction of the Anti-Terrorism Court is not confined merely to offences punishable under Section 7 of the Act; rather, it extends independently to all scheduled offences by virtue of Section 12 of the Act.” The court added that it was by now a settled principle of law that an ordinary case of kidnapping for ransom committed for personal motive, monetary gain or private vendetta might not amount to ‘terrorism’ unless accompanied by the requisite design or purpose envisaged under Section 6(1) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997. It, however, declared that such an offence nonetheless remained triable by the Anti-Terrorism Court because of its inclusion in the Third Schedule to the Act. In the judgement authored by Justice Aurangzeb, the bench ruled that in such cases, the Anti-Terrorism Court might ultimately convict an accused under Section 365-A of the PPC simpliciter and not under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, unless the prosecution independently established the necessary ingredients constituting an act of terrorism. It added that the ATC, Hazara Division, at Abbottabad had rightly assumed jurisdiction in the matter and had committed no illegality in dismissing the application filed by the petitioners under Section 23 of the Anti-Terrorism Act. Referring to the preamble of the ATA, the bench pointed out that it unequivocally declared that the Act was promulgated not only for the prevention of terrorism and sectarian violence but also for the speedy trial of heinous offences. “Kidnapping for ransom is undeniably one of the gravest offences affecting public safety, human liberty and societal order. It was precisely because of the alarming increase and heinous nature of such offence that the Legislature consciously brought Section 365-A of PPC within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Anti-Terrorism Court by incorporating the same in Entry No. 4 of the Third Schedule,” it observed.

Country: Yemen Source: Famine Early Warning System Network Please refer to the attached file. Key Messages In areas controlled by the Sana’a-Based authorities (SBA), Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes are expected to persist through September in Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, and Ta'izz governates, with Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes widespread elsewhere. The slow recovery of operational capabilities at Red Sea ports and a worsening business environment continue to severely constrain income-generating activities. Additionally, in the rural lowlands, high fodder costs and above-average temperatures, along with declining household purchasing power, are expected to limit the seasonal profits of pastoral households during Eid al-Adha, when demand for livestock increases. Intense competition for scarce opportunities, further intensified by the presence of large numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs), is expected to result in extremely limited financial access to food, widespread food consumption gaps, and the persistent use of negative coping strategies. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected to persist in areas controlled by the internationally recognized government (IRG) through September, with pockets of Emergency (IPC Phase 4), particularly among households with extremely limited sources of food and income. Prolonged economic disruptions, significantly below-average labor demand, and severely limited livelihood opportunities are resulting in income levels insufficient to meet food consumption needs. Demand for agricultural labor is expected to rise moderately throughout May due to the fruit harvesting season, especially for mangoes. However, from June to September, which is typically a dry period across most IRG areas, demand for all types of labor is expected to decline. For the poorest households, food consumption gaps or the use of unsustainable coping strategies to mitigate those gaps remain likely through September. Price fluctuations for basic food, and particularly non-food items, continued in May as demand increased with the approach of Eid al-Adha. Data for SBA-controlled areas are limited, but indicate reduced imports and higher shipping costs are driving increased prices for select food and non-food commodities, including cooking oil, which increased 13 percent between March and April. In IRG-controlled areas, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) in Aden is regulating market prices through the enforcement of an administrative circular, mandating set prices for essential commodities. Additionally, the Supreme Authority for Medicines and Medical Supplies in Aden has issued a requirement that pharmaceutical companies print the official retail price on medicine packaging, aiming to regulate the market and curb price manipulation following sustained price increases since January 2026. Nonetheless, higher shipping costs and more limited enforcement of price controls are leading to price increases of 10-22 percent for cooking oil, diesel, and gasoline, and for cooking gas in reference markets outside of Aden. Extreme heat – with temperatures expected to reach as high as 42 degrees Celsius in coastal and desert areas – is placing additional burdens on poor households and limiting their income-earning capacity. Countrywide, the extreme heat has adversely affected the development of vegetable crops and livestock production: households have limited shelter to protect their animals from the heat, resulting in diminished productivity and reduced profits. In IRG-controlled areas, power outages have worsened in recent months, with outages lasting over 18 hours in Aden in May, further driving down casual labor demand as operational hours and profits for small businesses dwindle. Expenditures on energy and health typically begin to increase at this time of year; however, the intense heat has driven these expenditures to atypical levels. Demand for public water is soaring, and there are reports of increased malaria and Dengue fever incidence. Given extremely low income levels and strained budgets, reports of poor households turning to self-treatment with natural products and food items are increasing. The IRG continues to operate with a fiscal deficit, as revenues remain stagnant and local authorities continue to withhold the transfer of local revenues to the government’s account at the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden (CBY-Aden). The Ministry of Finance announced a 20 percent duty on wheat flour imports from May 1 to October 31 (renewable) in an effort to protect the local milling industry. While likely increasing government revenues, the new duty is unlikely to meaningfully decrease the deficit. Additional policy plans were also introduced in May, which are expected to have mixed effects on government revenues; however, detailed information on implementation is not yet available. A significant amount of currency, estimated at trillions of YER, remains outside the formal banking system, leading to local currency shortages. Many small companies and private-sector employers have had to withhold or delay salary payments due to liquidity issues. However, the severity of the shortage eased slightly in May as the approximately 3 billion YER injected to the Yemeni economy by CBY-Aden in March began to circulate more widely. As a result, the limit for hard currency exchange transactions increased from 100 SAR to 1,000 SAR, providing some relief to households, particularly as the Eid al-Adha holidays approach (a time when remittances from abroad traditionally increase).

Garsington Opera, Wormsley Louisa Muller’s richly detailed production of Verdi’s tragedy is elevated by Madison Leonard’s magnetic Violetta and Douglas Boyd’s musical direction that reinvigorates the familiar score Day breaks in Paris at the end of act one of La Traviata – and, at Garsington Opera’s theatre, half-open to the surrounding Chiltern countryside, the birds provide the dawn chorus. If that registers as a felicitous but accidental touch in Garsington’s first ever production of Verdi’s opera, there’s plenty of equally engaging detail that’s very much intentional – not only in Louisa Muller’s staging, but also in the pit, where the company’s artistic director Douglas Boyd whips the Philharmonia Orchestra through a performance that makes a familiar score feel reinvigorated. Muller’s staging is another fruit of the company’s transatlantic relationship with Santa Fe Opera, where it was first seen two summers ago. It moves the period forward to the late 1930s, with Paris as a city partying on a cliff edge – not that you’d necessarily know that, except for the blue military uniforms worn by some of the men. We follow Madison Leonard’s Violetta through the doorways, rooms and terraces of Christopher Oram’s revolving set, a world of marble, painted brickwork and wrought iron, silvery and brittle. As the daylight gives way to Marcus Doshi’s stage lighting, the surfaces can look either glitzy or distressed. The same goes for the inhabitants. During the overture we see Violetta’s ghost wander uncomprehendingly from her deathbed to her salon, where her party guests wait, frozen like pastel-coloured waxworks. Later, those same guests carouse at Flora’s in red, gold and black fancy dress – costumes by Klimt, faces by Dix – and they become increasingly robotic and drained of life as Violetta’s illness moves in to consume her.
