Bangladesh Flight Lands In Pakistan's Karachi For First Time In 14 Years

Lahore/Karachi, Jan 29 (PTI): A flight from Bangladesh capital Dhaka landed at the Jinnah International Airport in Pakistan’s Karachi on Thursday, restoring non-stop air connectivity between the two countries after 14 years. According to the Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA), the Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight (BG-341) from Dhaka to Karachi reached on Thursday evening. "This is the first flight from Dhaka which landed at Jinnah International Airport after 14 years," it said in a statement. After landing at Karachi airport, the Biman Airlines flight was welcomed with a traditional water salute. "A new chapter in Pakistan-Bangladesh friendship -- air connectivity restored after 14 years, marked by a high-level reception ceremony at Karachi Airport," the PAA added. The development comes amid growing bonhomie between Bangladesh and Pakistan after prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted following massive student-led protests in Bangladesh on August 5, 2024. The airlines will operate flights between Dhaka and Karachi twice a week and has been given license until March 30 to test the waters before a long-term permission is given to the airlines, sources said. The airline, in a statement in Dhaka earlier this week, said, the Biman Bangladesh Airlines will operate on the Dhaka-Karachi route on Thursdays and Saturdays. The flight will depart Dhaka at 8:00 pm local time and arrive in Karachi at 11:00 pm. The return flight will depart Karachi at 12:00 midnight and arrive in Dhaka at 4:20 am. Pakistan and Bangladesh governments have been discussing the resumption of direct flights between Dhaka and Karachi since last year in a bid to boost trade and other ties after years of strained relations. Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan in 1971. Plans to restart direct flights between Bangladesh and Pakistan were first announced in August last year during the visit of Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar to Dhaka. Dar's visit to Dhaka was the first such high-level engagement between Pakistan and Bangladesh in over a decade. The re-launch follows formal approval from the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority, which has cleared Biman to operate on the route and to use designated air corridors within Pakistani airspace, the officials said.

Russia Says Zelensky Is Welcome In Moscow As Negotiations Enter Critical Phase

The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia has again invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to travel to Moscow for peace talks, as US-led diplomatic efforts to end the nearly four-year war in Ukraine gather pace. The statement came on a day when Russia and Ukraine conducted their latest exchange of war dead, and hours after Moscow declined to comment on reports that the two sides may have agreed to halt strikes on each other’s energy infrastructure. Abu Dhabi Talks Inject Momentum US-mediated peace talks held in Abu Dhabi last weekend have lent renewed momentum to negotiations, though deep differences between Moscow and Kyiv remain unresolved. Fierce fighting continues on the ground, while Ukraine is grappling with widespread power outages following recent missile attacks. An unnamed US official told Axios on Saturday that Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin were “very close” to agreeing on a meeting following the Abu Dhabi discussions. Another round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. US President Donald Trump, who has been pushing for an end to what he has called Europe’s biggest conflict since World War Two, said earlier this week that “very good things” were happening in the peace process. Kremlin Says No Response Yet From Kyiv Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by the Interfax news agency, said Russia had yet to receive a response from Zelensky to its invitation. Zelensky rejected a similar proposal last year, saying he could not travel to the capital of a country that was launching daily missile attacks on Ukraine. He suggested at the time that Putin visit Kyiv instead. Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday that any meeting between the two leaders would need to be carefully prepared and focused on concrete outcomes. He added that Zelensky’s safety would be guaranteed if he travelled to Moscow. Territorial Disputes Remain Central Major sticking points persist, including disagreements over territorial control, the possible deployment of international peacekeepers or monitors in post-war Ukraine, and the future of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the dispute over territory as the most difficult issue to resolve. Russia wants Ukrainian forces to withdraw from the roughly 20 per cent of the Donetsk region not currently under Russian control. Kyiv has said it will not cede territory that Russia has not secured on the battlefield, arguing such concessions could enable further Russian advances in the future. Ushakov said on Thursday that he did not believe the land issue was the only critical matter remaining in negotiations. Lavrov Questions Security Guarantees, Kadyrov Rejects Talks Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed scepticism over any security guarantees Washington might offer Ukraine as part of a deal, questioning whether they could deliver lasting peace if they were intended to keep Ukraine’s current leadership in power. Meanwhile, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a close Kremlin ally, dismissed the prospect of negotiations altogether, reflecting the views of hardliners who believe Russia is prevailing militarily. “I believe the war must be taken to its conclusion,” Kadyrov told reporters at the Kremlin. “I am against negotiations.”

Gadgets Review | Boat Nirvana Crown Has A ‘Crown’ That’s Addictive… & Sometimes Annoying

Gadgets Review: I have used many earbuds till now, ranging from personal use to review units, and one thing I’ve learned over time is that you can’t really judge a product just by its outer casing, right? Well, that’s not exactly the case with the Boat Nirvana Crown. The moment I opened the outer box- quite impatiently, to be honest-I saw something very different. A crown sitting right on top of the charging case. At first, I didn’t think much of it. I assumed it was just a design element, so I kept the case aside and went straight for the earbuds. Music started playing, and everything felt normal. Then, randomly, I placed my hand on the case. The crown rotated. There was a strong vibration. That’s when I stopped listening to the earbuds altogether and got completely hooked on the case. Boat Nirvana Crown Review: Quick Pointers What Works Unique crown wheel for volume control App support with good customisation options What Doesn’t The crown can rotate unintentionally inside a bag The case could feel slightly stiffer Boat Nirvana Crown Review: Design The design is easily the most distinctive part of the Boat Nirvana Crown. The case looks premium and feels well-finished, especially in the Blazing Red colour variant that I used.  The crown on top is not decorative; it’s functional. Rotating it clockwise increases the volume, and turning it anti-clockwise lowers it. There’s also a large button in the centre to play or pause music. What really stood out for me was the haptic feedback. Every rotation of the crown comes with a strong, satisfying vibration. It feels intentional and well-tuned, not gimmicky.  There’s also an LED ring around the crown that visually shows volume levels and battery status. When the battery is low, the LED turns red, which is actually useful. That said, the crown rotates very easily. When the case is inside a bag or pocket, even slight movement can change the volume unintentionally. The case could have benefited from a bit more stiffness to avoid this. Boat Nirvana Crown Review: App Support, Battery Life & Features The Boat app support adds a lot of value here. Through the app, you can customise controls, switch between ANC and ambient modes, manage LED lighting on the crown, and even disable crown rotation if accidental touches bother you. This single option solves the biggest practical issue I faced with the case. Battery life is impressive. Even after long listening sessions of around 6 to 7 hours, I still had around 40% battery left. The earbuds comfortably last through daily use without anxiety.  Multipoint connectivity works smoothly, letting you stay connected to two devices at once, like a phone and a laptop. In-ear detection is also present, and it works reliably; music resumes automatically when you put the earbuds back in. Boat Nirvana Crown Review: Sound & ANC Sound quality is solid for the price. The bass is punchy without being overpowering, the vocals are clear, and overall tuning feels balanced. The 50dB hybrid ANC performs well in real-life scenarios. Whether I was in traffic or travelling in the metro, the noise cancellation made a noticeable difference. Call quality is another highlight. With the six-mic ENx setup, my voice sounded noticeably clearer during calls, and background noise was well controlled. Boat Nirvana Crown Review: Final Thoughts The Boat Nirvana Crown is a well-thought-out product that feels genuinely different. The crown isn’t just a design experiment; it actually adds character and usability. While the easily rotating crown can be annoying at times, app-level control makes it manageable.  Overall, if you’re looking for earbuds that sound good, feel premium, and offer a unique control experience at Rs 2,799, the boAt Nirvana Crown is a solid option. The design, sound, haptics, and features come together nicely, just be ready to tweak a few settings to get the best experience.
