• KP finance czar says federal govt facing Rs1.7tr ‘fiscal hole’ • Muzammil Aslam claims Centre in a tight spot due to coalition partners’ needs, IMF ‘over-commitments’ ISLAMABAD: The federal government is having problems formulating the budget, owing to an around Rs1.7 trillion fiscal hole and wants the provinces, particularly Punjab and Sindh, to shoulder a greater financial burden, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s finance czar claimed on Wednesday. Speaking at a news conference, KP Adviser on Finance Muzammil Aslam said the uncertainty following the cancellation of National Economic Council (NEC) meeting and the rescheduling of Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC) was very concerning for the markets, as was evident from the massive recent plunge at the Pakistan Stock Exchange. He said the NEC meeting called for June 3 had been unexpectedly canceled without any reason and without a new date being set, while the APCC meeting was also earlier canceled on May 21 without advance notice, and then held on June 1. Aslam’s contentions seemed to echo points recently made by PPP leader Syed Naveed Qamar. In a recent appearance on DawnNewsTV, he said that the federal government did not have adequate funds to allocate to major heads, such as defence, debt servicing and pensions, adding that the provinces had also been asked to contribute to make up the shortfall. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Aslam said the Centre did not expect the healthy profits next year and was banking on the petroleum levy, and more funds from provinces to shore up its kitty. He said Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb had earlier suggested about Rs1.7tr share out of provincial shares of the divisible pool by revisiting some taxes, like customs duties. Under this scheme, the Centre had indicated it would need a Rs700-800bn slice from Punjab, Rs500bn from Sindh and Rs200bn from KP, but claimed there had been no follow-up decision in this regard. Highlighting Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal’s dismay, Aslam said the government was taking its time to satisfy the demands of its coalition partners, and was finding it difficult to put together a budget that would also be acceptable to the IMF, chiefly the 2pc target for primary budget surplus. He claimed the federal government had “over-committed” with the IMF on revenue, which was one of their key challenges. On the other hand, he said, no stakeholders were ready to stand with the finance ministry on the expenditure side. “When you formulate budgets in such pressures, there would always be infighting and coalition partners would not get the budget passed,” he said adding the PPP’s leadership was spending long hours at the finance ministry which was matter of grave concern. He said in one of the recent meetings, the Centre asked the provinces to extend a helping hand in revenue generation and demanded Rs430bn in additional revenue in the coming fiscal year through taxes on property and agricultural income. Under that target, he said the KP was required to contribute Rs35bn but in a subsequent letter, the province was asked to generate Rs60-65bn and similar demands were made to other provinces. He said this additional demand had been raised because of ongoing infighting among coalition partners. Aslam maintained that the tax relief being floated by the Centre would be only an eyewash, although it may increase the minimum threshold from Rs100,000 per month to Rs150,000 per month, but the resultant gap would then be shifted to other taxpayers. He also maintained that while the provinces were told recently about united efforts towards building water resources, development allocations suggested there was no such plan in place.

Protesting employees participate in a meeting at the University of Karachi.—Dawn KARACHI: Despite intervention by the provincial authorities, strong opposition from teachers to signing any agreement that does not include a firm commitment to immediate financial relief compelled the Karachi University Teachers’ Society (Kuts) to continue its protest, including the boycott of semester examinations on the campus. The unanimous decision was taken at the Kuts general body meeting held on Tuesday. Sources said the meeting was held against the backdrop of a recently released notification from the Sindh Higher Education Commission (SHEC), following a meeting of the education commission’s head with the representatives of Kuts, Officers Welfare Association (OWA) and Employees Welfare Association (EWA) on June 1. The notification said that a six-member committee, led by the chairperson of the SHEC and comprising the secretary of the universities and boards department, secretary of SHEC, president Kuts, presidents EWA and OWA, had been set up to look into the issues being faced by KU employees. SHEC forms six-member body to look into issues being faced by varsity employees The notification also said that the representatives of Kuts, EWA and OWA had decided “that the ongoing boycott of exams shall be withdrawn with immediate effect. The university administration shall make necessary arrangements for rescheduling the affected examinations and notify the revised examination schedule accordingly.” The committees’ terms of reference included the responsibilities to examine the issues and grievances of the teaching and non-teaching staff, review the relevant rules, policies, financial implications and administrative matters pertaining to the issues under consideration and hold consultations with all stakeholders. “The committee will finalise its recommendations within 40 days,” the notification said. However, at the Kuts general body meeting, the majority of the teachers rejected the notification and questioned the SHEC’s leadership on the matter. Explaining Kuts’ position in the June 1 meeting and the notification, its president Dr Syed Ghufran Alam said that while they appreciated the steps taken by the SHEC and that the employees were always available for further dialogue, the decision for a boycott was made by the general body and that’s the only relevant forum to call it off. “During the meeting, we did express optimism that the general body might consider the proposal. The general body, however, didn’t approve it due to the (negative) environment created by the KU administration,” he said, adding that teachers were unwilling to show any flexibility unless their dues were paid. Sources also said that the employees’ frustration and resentment against the KU vice chancellor could be gauged from the fact that they didn’t agree with the SHEC’s proposal to let the KU vice chancellor participate in the June 1 meeting. It might be recalled that the KU teachers have been boycotting the semester exams since May 5 over non-payment of their dues for evening classes, copy checking, exam supervision, paper setting, exam vigilance, house ceiling and leave encashment among other things. Now joined by the non-teaching staff, they have called for an investigation into the financial crisis at the campus and refused to end the strike until the fulfilment of their demands.

New Delhi: Defeat on the mat did not make Vinesh Phogat feel like a loser.After her comeback bid ended in the Asian Games selection trials on Saturday, the former world championships medallist declared that she had already won by returning to competition after motherhood and by standing up to a system she claimed had done everything possible to keep her away from wrestling."I have not failed at all. I am fighting the whole system and I am still standing with pride on the mat again," Vinesh toldafter her 4-6 semifinal loss to Meenakshi Goyat, while reiterating her ambition of competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.Minutes after suffering defeat, Vinesh launched a scathing attack on the wrestling administration, alleging discrimination, mental harassment and attempts to block her return to competitive wrestling despite court orders in her favour.Also read | IPL 2026 Purple Cap winner list: Most wickets, updated standings and bowling rankings"They wanted to stop me from returning to the mat, but I am standing here again. I am proud of what I have achieved in these 10 months."I know the system will continue to create challenges for me, but I have hope that through hard work I can leave the system behind and move forward," she added, refusing to view the semifinal defeat as a setbackVinesh, who was competing for the first time since her heartbreaking disqualification from the Paris Olympics final in 2024, said her biggest achievement was returning to elite competition after childbirth. She said returning to competition after motherhood and after months of legal and administrative battles felt like a victory."It has been only 10 months since my son was born. I am standing on the mat again and competing against the younger generation. I am proud of myself. I hope I can inspire my son and many women wrestlers," she said.Vinesh described the Delhi High Court order that enabled her participation in the trials as a landmark moment for women wrestlers seeking to return after motherhood."A girl is coming back to the mat after becoming a mother. The path has opened. Sooner or later there has to be a policy. Women wrestlers who want to return after becoming mothers should get a fair opportunity and some relaxation," she said.The 31-year-old alleged that even after the court's intervention, officials continued to create obstacles for her.Also read | Liverpool sack Slot after title defence turns into European scrambleShe said that she spent nearly an hour arguing with officials on Saturday morning after being informed she would be allowed to compete only in the 50kg category despite wanting to participate in 53kg."When I should have been focusing on my recovery and preparation, I was arguing with officials. They gave me a letter saying I could compete only in 50kg. It was mental harassment," she said.Vinesh claimed that the entire process was designed to put her at a disadvantage, alleging that stronger wrestlers were deliberately placed in her draw and that scheduling decisions drained her energy before the semifinal."I was not given a fair deal. All the strong girls in my category were put in my path. The bouts were scheduled in a manner that affected my energy levels," she alleged.Despite the grievances, Vinesh accepted responsibility for her defeat and admitted that a lack of competitive exposure and endurance hurt her performance."I accept my defeat. I will work harder and return stronger. Fitness and endurance were issues, but more than that, I needed competitions. I had not competed for nearly two years. This was my first tournament after becoming a mother," she said.She insisted that Saturday's performance convinced her that she still has enough ability to compete with the country's best wrestlers."I was motivated today. I know I can beat the younger girls. I still have that courage and belief. If I work hard, I know I can come back stronger."Asked whether the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics remained a target, Vinesh replied in the affirmative."Definitely. I have come back to the mat for Los Angeles," she said.The wrestler reserved some of her strongest criticism for the sports administration, questioning why no institution had intervened despite repeated disputes surrounding her participation."The government, the Sports Ministry, the IOA -- nobody is taking a stand. This is very sad. If athletes have to survive despite the system, then something is seriously wrong," she said.She also alleged that many young wrestlers privately supported her but were afraid to speak openly against administrators."A lot of girls were happy to see me back on the mat. They come and talk to me but they are scared. They know what can happen if they speak against powerful people," she said.Vinesh, however, clarified that she has no complaints against fellow wrestlers and said athletes should not be blamed for the larger issues within the sport."The kids are not at fault. I don't have anger towards any athlete. The problem is with the people who manipulate and control the system," she said.

Country: Yemen Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Please refer to the attached files. Overview: May 2026 is expected to conclude with steadily declining rainfall and elevated temperatures, particularly across desert and coastal areas. Key Concerns: Decreasing rainfall and flood recession: During the last dekad of May 2026, rainfall is expected to decline gradually to very low levels, with only occasional residual showers over the central highlands, particularly in Dhamar and Ibb governorates. Bi-weekly forecasts from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) indicate a moderate (40%) probability of below-average rainfall along the western slopes of the highlands. Soaring temperatures: Above-average temperatures are forecast across most governorates during the third dekad of May 2026, with the strongest anomalies over the coastal plains—including Tihama, Aden, and the Hadhramaut coast—and inland desert areas such as Al Jawf, Marib, and the Hadhramaut interior, increasing the likelihood of heatwaves (Fig. 1). Maximum temperatures are expected to reach 35–42°C in coastal and desert areas, while the central highlands—including Sana’a, Dhamar, Ibb, and Taizz governorates —are likely to see temperatures of 25–31°C. Implications on Agricultural Livelihoods Rainfed agriculture: Conditions are likely to remain generally favorable for early-stage sorghum and millet, though localized rainfall variability may delay planting and other field activities in some areas. Irrigated agriculture: Higher temperatures and increased evapotranspiration are expected to raise irrigation demand, with heightened water-stress risks in already water-scarce basins. Livestock and pastoral systems: Heat-stress risk is expected to increase in desert rangelands, coastal areas, and lowlands. Meanwhile, pasture conditions may improve slightly in parts of the central highlands following convective rainfall. Adaptation and Coping Strategies: The following are key measures that FAO and partners can take to mitigate the expected meteorological impacts during the last dekad of May 2026: Early Warning Systems: Strengthen coordination among meteorological, agricultural, and disaster-management institutions to issue regular agrometeorological advisories at governorate and district levels. Promote the use of localized weather and seasonal forecasts to inform planting decisions, irrigation scheduling, and livestock mobility planning. Crop farming Promote drought- and heat-tolerant varieties, particularly for sorghum, millet, legumes, and vegetables. Scale up soil conservation and agroforestry practices to reduce erosion and improve resilience to heavy rainfall and heat stress. Encourage crop and livelihood diversification to reduce reliance on a single season or commodity. Livestock management Ensure adequate livestock water supply through water storage, rehabilitation of water points, and targeted water trucking where needed. Reduce heat stress by providing shade and limiting livestock movement during peak daytime temperatures. Support fodder reserves and supplementary feeding in anticipation of pasture deterioration in lowland and drought-prone areas.
We’ve tested almost a dozen options that handle everything from scheduling and weather changes to water conservation, so you don’t have to.
This sponsored article is brought to you by Ampace. As AI workloads grow to gigascale levels, the global data center industry has hit a hidden physical wall. The real bottleneck is no longer just the thermal limit of the chip or the capacity of the cooling system — it is the dynamic resilience of the power chain. Modern AI computing clusters, driven by massive GPU clusters, generate high-frequency, abrupt, and synchronized spikey pulse loads. As rack densities soar beyond 100 kW, these fluctuations are amplified into a “power paradox”: while the digital logic of AI is moving faster than ever, the physical infrastructure supporting it remains tethered to legacy response capabilities. The power usage of these gigascale sites and their drastic, high frequency, abrupt load surges from the AI GPU clusters can trigger transient voltage events and frequency instability, risking the entire local grid. The grid itself is not robust enough to support these loads. This leads to the infrastructure gap: The utility is not robust enough and traditional backup sources, such as diesel generators and gas turbines, simply cannot react to millisecond-level power spikes in output. This will often force operators into a cycle of costly infrastructure over sizing just to buffer the volatility. AI infrastructure requires energy systems capable of instantaneous response while safeguarding continuity and reliability. The industry has explored various mitigations — from rack-level BBUs to 800V DC architectures — yet the mature, high volume, traditional UPS system remains the most viable and scalable foundation for gigawatt-level facilities. Consequently, the UPS-integrated battery system has emerged as the critical “physical buffer” to neutralize these pulses at the source. At Data Center World 2026 in Washington, D.C., Ampace led a pivotal technical dialogue with Eaton during the session “Powering Giga-scale AI.” Their exchange unveiled a fundamental paradigm shift: To bridge the AI power gap, energy storage must evolve from a passive insurance policy into an active, high-speed stabilizer. By aligning Ampace’s semi-solid-state battery innovation with Eaton’s proven system intelligence, we are moving beyond simple backup to solve the physical paradox of the AI era. To move beyond simple backup and solve the physical paradox of the AI era, Ampace is aligning its semi-solid-state battery innovation with Eaton’s proven system intelligence.Ampace The “Shock Absorber” physics: semi-solid chemistry for AI pulses Conventional power systems were designed for steady-state loads, not the rapid heartbeat of a massive AI GPU cluster. When thousands of GPUs synchronize their computing cycles, they generate high-frequency, abrupt pulse loads that can lead to voltage sags, frequency oscillations, and potential interruptions of critical AI training. Ampace’s PU Series semi-solid and low-electrolyte cells address this challenge by acting as high-speed “shock absorbers.” Leveraging ultra-low internal resistance (DCR) and high cycle capability, these batteries neutralize millisecond-level power spikes at the source, stabilizing the local power loop before disturbances propagate upstream to the grid or on-site generators. These high-rate cells enable 100 kW+ racks to maintain peak performance without transmitting instability across the power chain. This capability aligns closely with Eaton’s matured UPS architectures, such as double-conversion topologies and advanced power electronics upgrades, which have long prioritized rapid load responsiveness and high system stability. Together, these approaches embody a shared industry philosophy: AI infrastructure requires energy systems capable of instantaneous response while safeguarding continuity and reliability. Ampace’s semi-solid state chemistry minimizes liquid electrolyte, greatly reducing the risk of leakage and thermal runaway under continuous AI high-load conditions.Ampace Algorithmic intelligence: synchronizing energy and control Hardware alone cannot solve the AI power paradox; the system also requires intelligent coordination between energy storage and power management. Sophisticated battery management systems (BMS) like Ampace’s high-precision design track state-of-charge (SOC) with high-speed sampling, even during rapid, shallow cycling typical in AI workloads. Complementary algorithmic approaches in modern UPS platforms — such as ramp-rate control and average power management — effectively suppress sub-synchronous oscillations and optimize load smoothing. In large-scale AI training environments, where thousands of GPUs can trigger millisecond-level power pulses, these intelligent layers ensure that batteries buffer high-frequency fluctuations without compromising the mandatory emergency backup reserves. By transforming energy storage from passive “standby insurance” into active, schedulable assets, the system simultaneously safeguards continuous AI training and maintains the long-term health of the data center infrastructure. In practical terms, this means that even during peak compute bursts, the infrastructure remains stable, training cycles continue uninterrupted, and operators avoid costly oversizing or grid stress. Eaton’s dual-layer algorithms serve as a valuable benchmark in this space, demonstrating how advanced control logic can achieve similar objectives, reinforcing Ampace’s approach and philosophy within the broader data center power ecosystem. Economic scalability: optimizing AI infrastructure efficiently One of the largest costs in deploying AI infrastructure is “oversizing”: procuring transformers, generators, and UPS systems to handle brief peak spikes. This traditional approach inflates the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and leads to wasted capital on underutilized hardware. Ampace’s turn-key cabinet design developed by its independent R&D is engineered for seamless compatibility with mature, high volume UPS systems. By leveraging Eaton’s double-conversion UPS topologies alongside intelligent ramp-rate and average power management algorithms, AI data centers can scale dynamically without requiring costly infrastructure redesigns. This approach allows the UPS and batteries to act as active load-shapers, smoothing AI-driven pulses while strictly maintaining mandatory emergency backup capacity. By utilizing energy storage as an active, schedulable asset, operators can right-size their infrastructure, avoid unnecessary grid upgrades, and deploy gigascale AI clusters with unprecedented efficiency. Safety First: Protecting AI Infrastructure While Enabling Innovation In high-density AI facilities, safety is non-negotiable. Ampace’s semi-solid state chemistry minimizes liquid electrolyte, greatly reducing the risk of leakage and thermal runaway under continuous AI high-load conditions. Ampace’s turn-key cabinet design developed by its independent R&D is engineered for seamless compatibility with mature, high volume UPS systems. Ampace At the same time, Eaton’s UPS design emphasizes system-level energy scheduling that never sacrifices mandatory emergency backup reserves, ensuring thermal safety and uninterrupted operation. This “safety-first” approach ensures that infrastructure can sustain aggressive performance targets without compromising the physical integrity of the facility. Coupled with over a decade of proven high-cycle life operation and design under shallow pulse conditions, these systems can extend operational lifespan, reduce replacement requirements, and provide operators with confidence that safety and reliability remain uncompromised as compute density continues to grow. To remain the scalable backbone of AI data centers As AI computing scales over the next two to three years, the industry will face stricter grid requirements and even more demanding pulse load characteristics. This evolution demands a forward-looking design philosophy that harmonizes UPS, battery, and grid compatibility. Ampace views current low-electrolyte semi-solid technologies as the optimal transitional step toward a fully solid-state future — one that promises ultimate safety and performance. Ampace remains committed to this long-term technological roadmap. We view current low-electrolyte semi-solid technologies as the optimal transitional step toward a fully solid-state future — one that promises ultimate safety and performance. Whether through rack-level BBU, integrated UPS systems, or containerized storage, the universal core of the AI era remains constant: high-speed response, long shallow-cycle life, and refined energy management. By engaging in deep technical exchanges with Eaton and leading energy innovators, Ampace ensures that its solutions not only meet today’s AI pulse challenges but also harmonize with broader infrastructure strategies and shared industry best practices. Ultimately, as traditional diesel generators gradually give way to diversified alternatives, the integrated UPS-plus-energy-storage system will become the fundamental infrastructure standard. The dialogue has just begun. Ampace will continue to engage in strategic exchanges with global industrial automation leaders and digital energy pioneers, co-authoring the playbook for a safer, more efficient, and more resilient AI-ready world.
