President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday stressed that the upcoming 2026–2027 federal budget should prioritise “public welfare, provincial rights and economic stability” during a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Presidency said. The meeting, part of wider pre-budget consultations between major allied parties in the Centre, came a couple of days ahead of the government’s announcement to present the federal budget for FY2026–27 on June 10. A handout released after the meeting said Zardari and Shehbaz discussed the upcoming budget at the President’s House. “While discussing budget proposals and public relief, the president stressed prioritising public welfare, provincial rights and economic stability in the federal budget,” the handout said. It added that the president directed that every effort should be made to harmonise the growth rate with public welfare schemes in the upcoming budget. National security, as well as the internal and regional situation, were also discussed. The Presidency said Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi briefed the president on his recent visit to Iran and regional diplomatic engagements. Apart from the federal budget and national security, the meeting also discussed the economy, the recent Gilgit-Baltistan elections, the situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, law and order, and other matters of national importance, the handout said. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, and Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah were present at the meeting. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Faisal Rathore, and MNA Raja Pervaiz Ashraf also attended the meeting. Senator Sherry Rehman, MNA Syed Naveed Qamar, Senator Saleem Mandviwalla and Senator Ahad Cheema were also present, according to the presidency’s brief statement. On Sunday, a PPP delegation, led by party chairman Bilawal, had expressed its reservations related to taxes during a pre-budget meeting with FM Dar. During the meeting, FM Dar assured the PPP that their proposal would be incorporated into the budget. The IMF has asked the Centre to introduce at least Rs430bn worth of additional budgetary measures in the upcoming budget, alongside a nearly matching amount of Rs430bn to be generated by the four provinces. In this connection, the PPP had asked FM Dar for ways for the provinces to increase their tax revenues during the meeting. PPP leaders also opposed new taxes and hoped the government would change its approach to taxation to provide relief to inflation-hit masses, asserting that the government should prefer a broader tax base instead of exerting pressure on the same class, which is already paying taxes.

SpaceX’s initial public offering is well oversubscribed, according to people familiar with the matter, as demand builds for a potentially record-setting debut.Banks leading the offering by Elon Musk’s rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company are expected to stop taking orders from institutional investors on Wednesday after the market closes in New York at 4 p.m., some of the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. Closing the order books gives banks time to gauge demand ahead and advise the company on pricing. SpaceX’s IPO is expected to price June 11 and trade the following day. The company is offering 555.6 million shares at $135 each, which would raise about $75 billion, and value it at about $1.8 trillion.Retail investors can still submit orders for SpaceX shares on some platforms beyond the Wednesday deadline. The company is allocating as much as 30% of the offering to retail, Bloomberg News has reported.Also Read | US stocks: Alphabet taps Intel to make three million in-house chips: ReportA spokesperson for SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yemen’s Houthis said on Monday that they would ban ships linked to Israel from the Red Sea after Israel renewed its military attacks on Iran, adding to concerns about global shipping and energy flows. This is why it matters and what it means for the Iran war and the global energy crisis: How big is the risk to global energy markets? Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz since Israel and the United States attacked it on February 28 has disrupted most oil and other energy exports from the Gulf, raising prices and causing a major energy shock. Saudi Arabia has responded by diverting more than 70 per cent of its normal daily crude exports to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. That has been a lifeline for the energy market, helping to keep down global oil prices. Any sustained Houthi disruption to Red Sea shipping, including potential attacks on shipping or ports, could be a big problem. When the Houthis launched attacks on Red Sea shipping in November 2023, Gulf oil exports were flowing freely, meaning cargoes were diverted to avoid the Red Sea, but not halted. This time, they are being loaded there. A Houthi source told Reuters that preventing Israeli ships from transiting the Red Sea was “a first step” but that if escalation continued, the group would stop any ships heading to Israel as well as other measures. When the group attacked shipping during the Gaza war, its stated target of Israel-linked vessels included any vessel belonging to any company that used Israeli ports and its attacks on those ships dissuaded most companies from using the route. Who are the Houthis? The Houthis emerged as a military, political and religious movement in north Yemen in the 1990s, fighting guerrilla wars against the government in Sanaa. After the 2011 Arab Spring, they strengthened ties with Iran and seized on instability to capture the capital in 2014, derailing a Gulf-backed political transition plan. As Yemen’s civil war ground to a stalemate, the Houthis attacked oil installations and other infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with missiles and drones. However, a 2022 truce between Yemen’s warring sides has largely held. Iran champions the Houthis as part of its regional “Axis of Resistance”, which includes Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iraqi groups, though its ties with the Yemeni movement are less clear than with those other groups. The Houthis do not recognise Iran’s supreme leader as their ultimate religious authority in the same way Hezbollah and the Iraqi groups do. Its motivations are mainly domestic, though it is ideologically aligned with Iran. The US claims Iran has armed, funded and trained the Houthis with help from Hezbollah. The Houthis deny being an Iranian proxy and say they develop their own weapons. What happened when the Houthis attacked Red Sea ships before? After the Oct 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, and Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza, the Houthis began firing at Israel and on international shipping in the Red Sea, saying they were doing so in support of Palestinians. The Houthi attacks in the Red Sea severely disrupted global shipping, prompting Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and other major companies to divert around Africa — a far longer, more expensive route. A US-led mission to restore free navigation in the Red Sea involved repeated strikes on Houthi targets and a campaign that shot down hundreds of drones and missiles. But some Houthi attacks continued until last summer, only ending completely with the Gaza ceasefire in October. What have they done during the latest Iran war? While Hezbollah and the Iraqi groups joined the war early with rocket and drone fire after the first US and Israeli strikes on Iran, the Houthis have been comparatively quiet. The group’s leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on March 5: “Our fingers are on the trigger at any moment should developments warrant it”. Iranian military commanders have repeatedly warned the Houthis could join the war, with Revolutionary Guards Quds Force commander Esmaeil Qaani saying on June 1 they could choke off the Red Sea. But before this week, the group’s only involvement was a few missile and drone attacks on Israel in late March and early April. Why the Houthis have been relatively quiet so far is not entirely clear. They and Iran may have wanted to use the threat of another major energy route closure to warn Israel and the United States off further escalations. The Houthis may also feel less committed to Iran’s security than do Tehran’s other regional allies. And the group may not want to antagonise its powerful, wealthy neighbour Saudi Arabia and risk reigniting the conflict at home.

VÍDEO: Com -4,4°C, Parque Nacional do Itatiaia registra menor temperatura do Brasil nesta segunda-feira Divulgação/Demilson Rodrigues Primeiro parque do Brasil O Parque Nacional do Itatiaia foi criado em junho de 1937 e foi o primeiro parque nacional do país, de acordo com o Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio), que administra o local. Ele fica na Serra da Mantiqueira — entre os estados Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, e próximo à divisa com São Paulo. Os limites alcançam os municípios de Itatiaia (RJ), Resende (RJ), Itamonte (MG) e Bocaina de Minas (MG). Inicialmente abrangendo uma área de aproximadamente 12 mil hectares, ele foi ampliado para 28 mil hectares em setembro de 1982. Com altitude de 2.791m, o Pico das Agulhas Negras é o quinto ponto mais elevado do Brasil e o maior do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. As "Agulhas Negras" são ranhuras talhadas pela ação da água da chuva, carregada de gás carbônico, por milhares de anos. Pico das Agulhas Negras, em Itatiaia, no sul do RJ, ponto mais alto do estado.
