"title": "LPG auction results held back amid legal, policy hurdles",
"body": "* Retail prices may rise by about 15pc if auction costs are passed on\n\n* Govt says signature bonus burden should not be transferred to consumers\n\nISLAMABAD: Amid legal challenges and political pressure, the Petroleum Division has held back for more than a week the results of bidding for the sale of locally produced liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is estimated to result in a 15 per cent increase in retail prices for the 'poor man's fuel' just ahead of winter.\n\nIn auctions conducted on August 10 simultaneously by the country's three main LPG producers, all in the public sector, the highest bidder offered Rs205 million for the supply of a lot over three years. One lot comprises five tonnes a day. Pakistan's total LPG requirement fluctuates between 1.4 million and two million tonnes annually, with more than half of it being imported.\n\nSome existing LPG stakeholders, fearing loss of business and increased market competition, have challenged the bidding process in court, arguing that existing policies and rules provide no such arrangement. The Petroleum Division and its entities are believed to have held multiple sessions with the Attorney General for Pakistan to push for speedy judicial proceedings.\n\nUnder the directives of Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik, four public-sector entities -- Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL), Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL), Pak-Arab Refinery Company (Parco) and Government Holdings (Pvt) Ltd (GHPL) -- were required to offer standardised lots of five tonnes each on a pilot basis to replace the \"existing quota-based system\".\n\nOne tonne of LPG fills about 85 domestic cylinders, so one lot can fill roughly 425 cylinders a day. Simply put, 425 households cooking dinner will pay these producers more than Rs200 million for one lot over the next three years if the process goes through. That amounts to about Rs440 added to the price of every cylinder, before the LPG marketing company adds a rupee of its own margin.\n\nThe benchmark LPG price notified by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) for the current month is Rs3,000.93 for an 11.8kg domestic cylinder, although cylinders are seldom available to consumers for less than Rs3,600 in the market. Under a notification issued on the last day of July, Ogra raised the LPG price by about 5.4pc (Rs12.89 per kg) to Rs254.32 per kg for August, from Rs241.43 per kg in July.\n\nThe signature bonus adds close to 15pc to the price. Although the government did not publish the bidding results, informed sources said the results were \"mouth-watering\" for state-owned entities (SOEs) but would add a significant burden on consumers, mostly those living away from major urban centres and in emerging localities around cities.\n\nAccording to records seen by Dawn, Petroleum Minister Malik, referring to tenders opened that day for five-tonne-per-day lots offered by PPL, Parco, GHPL and OGDCL, reported in a letter that the highest bid for a signature bonus for one lot was Rs205 million for three years -- equivalent to Rs68.34 million per annum for a one-tonne lot in the case of PPL alone. The letter did not treat the auction as a one-off exercise.\n\nAll four producers were asked to bring to a meeting the following day their \"mark-to-market additional revenue/gains\" from \"disposing of all indigenous volumes based on a competitive bidding process\". For PPL alone, the letter projected \"an additional annual revenue of approx. Rs4-5 billion\".\n\nAt the price discovered in the auction, Rs4.5bn a year is equivalent to about 66 lots for one SOE. Sixty-six lots amount to roughly 28,000 cylinders a day, with Rs440 added to each of them. That is for PPL alone; OGDCL, GHPL and Parco have yet to report their figures.\n\nMinutes of the July 20 meeting record that the petroleum minister ordered that \"the burden of Signature Bonus should not be passed on to consumers\", with relief for vulnerable households to be channelled instead through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP).\n\nOn the question of ring-fencing indigenous LPG for vulnerable consumers, the Petroleum Division was alerted that maintaining separate prices for the same product would create market distortions and would not be practically enforceable. Therefore, it was decided that LPG should be marketed at a single competitive price, while any policy support for vulnerable consumers should be provided through special fiscal intervention, with the windfall channelled through BISP.\n\nThose directed to submit a mechanism for utilisation of the signature bonus proceeds and a margin-fixation framework within days have failed to produce one in almost four weeks, and hence these have not yet been notified. Nor is there anything on record requiring a winning bidder to absorb the Rs440 per-cylinder cost rather than recover it in a single-price market -- the structure endorsed in the meeting minutes on the grounds that separate prices \"would create market distortions and would not be practically enforceable\".\n\nOfficials told Dawn that under the existing policy arrangement, the government could not presently collect the billions it was projecting. The licences of LPG producers make sales subject to the condition that \"the company is not allowed to charge any premium in any form, over and above the notified price of the (Ogra) Authority\".\n\nInterestingly, the Ogra chairman is on record as having told the petroleum minister that, because the regulator's 2018 order had been suspended by the High Court, there was presently no legal prohibition preventing producers from adopting a competitive bidding mechanism, including a signature bonus. He reported that retaining the 2018 status quo was \"a commercial decision by the producers (SOEs)\".\n\nProducers were required to justify in writing why they had not moved sooner. No one pointed to condition (v) of the producers' licences, which does not allow bidding. Official records also suggested that they had hesitated because PPL's then managing director had faced contempt proceedings over an earlier tender incorporating signature bonuses, after which the company reverted to queue-based allocation. Parco flagged the risk of retrospective recovery should the 2018 Ogra decision against signature bonuses survive the producers' challenge.\n\nA subsequent meeting on the way forward remained inconclusive because the minister wanted to issue new policy directions through the Economic Coordination Committee of the cabinet, while others pointed out that such a direction could be contrary to the existing policy approved by the Council of Common Interests.\n\nPublished in Dawn, August 17th, 2026",

"body": "Greece's coastguard said the couple died outside their home in the Peristeria beach area on Sunday\n\nAn elderly couple have died in a wildfire on the Greek island of Salamis as a wave of fires continues to sweep across parts of Europe amid intense heat.\n\nGreece's coastguard said the couple died outside their home in the Peristeria beach area on Sunday. More than 500 people were ordered to evacuate.\n\nIn Spain, a soldier also died while helping battle a week-long wildfire in the north-eastern region of Aragon, where flames have threatened a 1,000-year-old monastery.\n\nBelgium is meanwhile battling what officials have described as the largest wildfire in the country's modern history. The blaze in the High Fens nature reserve had burned around 3,000 hectares by Sunday and was approaching the German border.\n\nAround 600 residents of Waimes and Bütgenbach were told to evacuate as shifting winds spread smoke.\n\nMore than 250 firefighters and emergency workers, supported by German crews, helicopters and Swedish water-bombing aircraft, have been deployed.\n\n\"On this third day of fighting the fires, all resources remain mobilised on the ground,\" Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin wrote on X.",

"title": "UK-made drones strike targets inside Russia",
"body": "LONDON - British-made drones are being used to strike targets in Russia for the first time. The drones, built by two separate British companies, have been used in mainland Russia in widespread and successful targeting of military and industrial targets, including refineries and warehouses of online retailer Wildberries. The strikes, first reported by the Sunday Times, are said to have caused more than £35bn in economic damage. A well-placed military source confirmed to the BBC the UK drones had been used.\n\nBritish manufactured Storm Shadow missiles had earlier been used in the conflict, although this new phase is having a far more decisive impact. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has previously said drones using UK components and configurations have been used to attack Russian territory, including a fuel depot in the Kamensky District of the Rostov Region. In April, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced it would supply Ukraine tens of thousands of drones, including long-range strike devices, in its biggest ever package. The MoD said its support for Ukraine is \"unwavering\" and would stand by its ally \"until it wins\".\n\nA spokesperson said: \"We are committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin's illegal invasion. \"This includes over 150,000 drones this year, cutting-edge Stone Cloak devices that hinder Russian air defences and innovative low-cost cruise missiles.\" On Sunday, Moscow's mayor said about 600 Ukrainian drones were launched towards the city overnight, with roughly a third of the drones being destroyed, and three people were injured. A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries was hit. Wildberries, known as Russia's version of Amazon, has been repeatedly targeted since July. Kyiv said at the time it was targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment and disrupting supplies to the Russian army.",

"title": "Eight Muslim nations rebuke Israel",
"body": "A bloc of eight Muslim countries on Sunday accused Israel of obstructing efforts to end the war in Gaza, saying its rejection of a US-backed roadmap and opposition to Palestinian statehood amounted to a direct repudiation of the framework endorsed by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).\n\nThe foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Türkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said Israel's position jeopardised the implementation of President Trump's comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict and placed responsibility on Israel for any further deterioration of the situation.\n\nThe unusually strong joint statement came as American envoys stepped up efforts to revive the stalled Gaza plan. Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to President Trump, met Hamas leaders in Cairo on Sunday before travelling to Israel for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\nThe diplomacy reflects growing concern in Washington and regional capitals that the plan could collapse before its key provisions are implemented.\n\nThe dispute centres on a 15-point roadmap developed by the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye, together with the High Representative for Gaza and the Board of Peace. The roadmap is intended to complete implementation of the broader Trump plan, which was endorsed by the Security Council in Resolution 2803.\n\nThe resolution, adopted in November 2025 with 13 votes in favour and two abstentions, endorsed the Comprehensive Plan, welcomed the creation of the Board of Peace and authorised the establishment of an International Stabilisation Force for Gaza.\n\nUnder the roadmap, Hamas and other armed factions would give up their weapons and cease military, policing and administrative activities. An International Stabilisation Force would be deployed, while Israeli forces would withdraw in stages as disarmament was independently verified.\n\nCivilian administration would eventually be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a technocratic Palestinian body, while reconstruction would proceed under the framework established by the Board of Peace.\n\nThe United Nations has described the roadmap as the central mechanism for completing implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. A May report by the Board of Peace said the proposal envisaged \"one authority, one law and one weapon\" in Gaza, with the decommissioning of weapons and dismantling of military infrastructure proceeding in phases alongside corresponding Israeli withdrawals.\n\nHowever, Israel has rejected the arrangement.\n\nNetanyahu said earlier this month that Israel would not withdraw its forces from Gaza until Hamas was completely disarmed.\n\nIsraeli officials have objected in particular to the idea that an Israeli withdrawal should take place in parallel with the disarmament process rather than only after Hamas has surrendered all of its military capabilities.\n\nThat position has created one of the most significant obstacles to the Trump administration's latest attempt to bring the Gaza war to an end.\n\nThe eight foreign ministers said Sunday that the roadmap represented the culmination of extensive mediation by Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States, as well as the High Representative for Gaza and the Board of Peace.\n\nThey said the Palestinian factions had accepted the roadmap and argued that its rejection by Israel amounted to an explicit refusal to proceed with the implementation of the broader Comprehensive Plan.\n\nThe ministers also warned that the Israeli position could undermine the efforts personally led by President Trump to end the war.\n\nThey called on the United States to maintain an active role and, crucially, to ensure Israel complies with the commitments and arrangements envisaged by the plan.\n\n\"The Ministers underscore the importance of sustained and active US engagement,\" the statement said, calling on Washington to ensure and enforce Israel's compliance with the roadmap.\n\nThe ministers went further, saying Israel would bear \"direct and full responsibility\" for any consequences arising from continued rejection, obstruction, delay or non-compliance with the plan, including a deterioration in conditions on the ground and disruption of efforts to end the war.\n\nThe statement also linked the immediate Gaza crisis to the longer-term question of Palestinian statehood - an issue that has increasingly become a point of confrontation between Israel and the countries backing the diplomatic framework.\n\nThe eight countries categorically rejected what they described as any attempt to deny or foreclose Palestinian statehood, including through unilateral Israeli actions.\n\nThey reiterated their support for a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, in accordance with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.\n\nThey argued that denying Palestinian statehood would not merely affect the political status of the Palestinians but would undermine the prospects for peace and security throughout the Middle East.\n\nThe emphasis on statehood also highlights a potential contradiction at the heart of the current diplomatic effort.\n\nThe Security Council resolution endorsing President Trump's plan envisages a pathway toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood after the Palestinian Authority completes reforms and Gaza's reconstruction advances. The resolution therefore places Palestinian statehood within the broader political horizon of the plan, even though it does not establish an immediate timetable for creating a Palestinian state.\n\nFor the eight countries, however, the issue is no longer one that can be deferred indefinitely.\n\nThey said a \"just, lasting and comprehensive peace\" could only be achieved through the realisation of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.\n\nThe ministers also defended the continued role of the Board of Peace, calling on it to support implementation of the roadmap and advance the second phase of President Trump's plan.\n\nThey urged the Board, with active American support, to take \"immediate and concrete measures\" within its mandate to preserve the integrity of the plan and prevent any party from obstructing its implementation.\n\nThe stakes are high because significant elements of the broader framework are already in place.\n\nAccording to a May report submitted to the United Nations, the Board of Peace had been established as an international organisation, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza had been constituted, an International Stabilisation Force had completed a pre-deployment assessment, and billions of dollars had been pledged for reconstruction.\n\nBut the same report identified the unresolved roadmap - particularly the question of Hamas's disarmament - as the critical obstacle to moving from the framework to implementation.\n\nThat impasse has now become sharper with Israel's public rejection.\n\nThe latest diplomatic push therefore faces a difficult sequencing dispute: Israel insists on complete Hamas disarmament before an Israeli withdrawal, while the roadmap envisages a monitored and phased process in which Palestinian disarmament, international stabilisation and Israeli withdrawal proceed together.\n\nHamas, for its part, has signalled conditional acceptance of the U.S.-backed framework while demanding that Israel fulfil its own obligations, including a withdrawal from Gaza.\n\nThe eight countries are now asking Washington to resolve that dispute rather than allowing it to derail the entire framework.",

"title": "Two dead and hundreds evacuated as twin fires break out on Greek island",
"body": "ATHENS - Two people died and and hundreds were evacuated after two fires broke out \"almost simultaneously\" on a Greek island near Athens, officials said. About 200 firefighters were working to keep the twin fires from converging on the island of Salamina, which was under a high wildfire risk on Sunday.\n\nThe first blaze was reported at 14:40 local time (11:40 GMT) near the island's south coast and spread rapidly due to high winds, followed by the second some 20 minutes later in the east. More than 500 people have so far been evacuated by sea, Greek media report. The cause of the fires is not yet known. Five patrol boats have been sent to the area and several other private vessels are being made available for assistance, he added. A number of aircraft and 50 fire engines have also been deployed. The first blaze broke out in a mixed residential and forested area in Peristeria, a southern city on the island, fire official Vasilios Vathrakoyannis said in a statement, followed by the second in the eastern town of Selinia.\n\nFirefighters attending the first blaze found two bodies at the scene, he said.\n\nAt least 10 people suffered burns or showed \"symptoms of smoke inhalation\", five of whom had been taken for treatment locally, Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiades said on X.\n\nSalamina Deputy Mayor Thodoris Zannis said firefighters were trying to keep the fires from burning over a mountain on the island and meeting to form a single blaze. The operation is being assisted by water tankers and construction machinery. Salamina sits just west of Athens and has some 37,000 residents, many of them elderly. Firefighters across Europe have been facing a series of wildfires this weekend, including officers in Belgium spending a third day beating back flames in the country's largest nature reserve, Hautes Fagnes. The wildfire - described as the largest in the country's recent history - has more than doubled in size in 24 hours. Meanwhile, at least one person died and dozens were injured in a wildfire that tore through Croatia's coastline overnight on Friday. It was described by Croatia's fire chief Slavko Tucakovic as \"one of the worst\" blazes in the country's history and saw around 1,200 residents and tourists evacuated.",

"body": "VIRGINIA - Police arrested a 19-year-old found hiding in a dormitory closet at Virginia State University on Sunday in connection with an overnight shooting on campus that left five people wounded, including one with critical injuries. Camron Harris of Henrico, Virginia, is not a student on campus nor were four of the people injured, Chesterfield County Police said in a statement. They ranged in age from 17 to 23. One of the injured, a 20-year-old, is a student and has been released from the hospital, authorities said. The victims' names have not been released. Authorities have given no information about a possible motive. Police obtained eight felony warrants for Harris, including for malicious wounding and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. The university said in an earlier statement that authorities were searching for multiple suspects, but police provided no additional information Saturday evening about the search. University officials said earlier in the day that law enforcement did not believe there was an immediate threat to the campus community, and a campus lockdown had been lifted. The shooting, just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday, prompted a campus lockdown and came as students were getting ready for the new school year. It happened near the university's Quad Annexes, where campus police and Chesterfield County officers discovered five people suffering from gunshot wounds outside campus dormitories. According to the university's website, residence halls opened for students a week ago, and classes resume on Monday. Many students had just completed the university's \"New Trojans Experience\" for incoming students. \"We recognize the concern this incident has caused among our students, parents, alumni, friends, and the broader VSU community,\" the university statement said. \"The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority.\"",

"body": "HAWAII - One person is dead and tens of thousands have lost power after Hurricane Lala moved past parts of Hawaii overnight, before weakening slightly Sunday morning to a tropical storm with 70 mph sustained winds and heavy rain. Nearly 130,000 customers are without power across the islands. Nearly 70% of the Big Island is without power. Hurricane-force wind gusts were reported in Hawaii, Honolulu and Maui counties, with the mountainous island terrain amplifying winds at higher elevations. The island of Oahu, including the state's capital Honolulu, is under a flash flood warning Sunday morning. Parts of Hawaii's Big Island are also under a flash flood warning, and National Weather Service had previously called that warning a \"Particularly Dangerous Situation.\"\n\n\"Several occupied homes may have been swept off their foundations, and based on that, civil defense has initiated a search and rescue mission,\" Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda said overnight.\n\nLala was starting to pull away from the islands Sunday morning, but heavy rain is expected to continue throughout the day across the island chain. One person was killed in a storm-related car accident, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Saturday evening, while at least 19 buildings had lost their roofs.\n\nIn a video update Saturday night, Hawaii County's Acting Civil Defense Administrator Darryl Oliviera said occupants of a vehicle stuck in floodwaters were being rescued, though he did not provide further details.\n\nLala, which strengthened to a Category 1 storm Saturday, made its closest approach to Hawaii's Big Island at around 5 p.m. local time, with its eyewall brushing the southern portion from roughly 30 miles away, according to the National Hurricane Center.",
