Former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif sentenced to 10 years in prison A court in Pakistan has handed a jail term to former PM Nawaz Sharif in a Panama Papers corruption c

Some analysts say the verdict will give Pakistanʼs powerful military more behind-the-scenes influence on politics.

In a highly anticipated verdict in the Panama Papers case, an accountability court in Islamabad found ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family guilty of corruption and sentenced the former PM to ten years in prison. Sharifʼs daughter, Maryam Nawaz, was given a seven-year jail term. The decision comes less than three weeks before Pakistan holds parliamentary elections, on July 25. The Avenfield case, which pertains to the purchase of four flats in London, was filed against Sharif and his family by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Earlier on Friday, the accountability court rejected Sharifʼs plea to postpone the ruling for a week. Sharif is currently in London to attend to his ailing wife. It is unclear whether Sharif would return to Pakistan. In April, Pakistanʼs Supreme Court ruled that the former prime minister cannot participate in politics for the rest of his life. The top court had removed Sharif from office on corruption charges in July last year. In April 2016, Sharif found himself in a precarious position following the "revelations" made by the famed Panama Papers. Leaked documents showed that three of Sharifʼs children had links with offshore companies that owned properties in London. Sharif denies any wrongdoing. Subsequently, a petition against Sharif was filed in the countryʼs Supreme Court, which initially ruled against Sharifʼs disqualification as prime minister but formed a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to further probe allegations. The JIT pointed out failure on the part of the Sharif

family to produce the required documents that would confirm their "known sources of income," underlining that the prime ministerʼs family was not able to reconcile their assets with their means of income. Consequently, the six-member JIT recommended that the case be forwarded to NAB, which deals with corruption cases. Sharif was swept into power in 2013 after comfortably winning the general election. Three-time PM Sharif never completed a term as prime minister, having been removed during his second term by a military coup

by General Pervez Musharraf in 1999.

New York Cityʼs Fifth Avenue is known the world over for luxury brands for the rich and the famous, among them the latest high-end vehicles of BMW and Mercedes.But if President Trump has his way, the popular German cars soon wonʼt be driving down the famous avenue anymore. It all started during Trumpʼs election campaign in 2015 and 2016. Back then, he promised to strengthen the domestic economy by creating jobs and boosting local production. I

German hospitals to blame for low number of organ donations The authors of a report published Friday in the German medical journal Ärzteblatt claim that although more German citizens are willing to donate their organs upon death, fewer organs are actually being transplanted. The authors, Kevin Schulte and Thorsten Feldkamp of the Schleswig-Holstein University Hospital, place blame for the situation on hospitals. The report claims the problem is not a lack ofwilling donorsbut rather hospitals not notifying the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (DSO), which coordinates organ donation and transplants nationwide, to donors in their institutions .

Germans unhappy with Merkel government amid migration spat A new poll shows only one in five Germans is happy with the leadershipʼs performance

Iranians hope for Europeʼs support as US sanctions bite "The most important topic of discussion in Tehran these days is the threat of sanctions against Iran," 51-year-old Azam, a housewife residing in the Iranian capital, told DW. "All I can say is that the mood is very depressing and we do not believe that our politicians can guide us through this crisis." Azam is furious and afraid at the same time. Her 75-year-old father is suffering from cardiovascular disease and relies on the drug warfarin, which is now in short supply in Tehran. "For the past couple of weeks, itʼs been difficult to find a drugstore in Tehran that sells warfarin," she said. For ordinary people in Iran, these are some of the consequences they have to face as a result of international sanctions. Iran doesnʼt produce warfarin and imports it from abroad. So the drug is now available only in limited quantities and its price has seen a sharp rise. To make matters worse, Iran currently finds itself in the midst of an economic crisis. Since President Donald Trump decided in May to withdraw the US from the nuclear deal with Iran, the Iranian currency has been in a freefall.

The German governmentʼs popularity has taken a battering following a protracted internal dispute over migration policy.

Chancellor Angela Merkelʼs government is falling in the publicʼs estimation amid a damaging row over asylum policy, according to a poll released Thursday. In the latest "Deutschlandtrend" survey almost 80 percent of respondents said they were somewhat, or completely, dissatisfied with the ruling coalition. Thatʼs a jump of 15 percentage points since

Iran says EU economic proposal to save nuclear deal not enough Foreign ministers from Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia met in Vienna on Friday with their Iranian counterpart to discuss an economic plan that could savethe 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and took 12 years to negotiate. The European Unionʼs foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, who chaired the meeting, said the five major powers agreed to continue talks on saving the nuclear deal. The ongoing talks will involve a package of incentives that include European Invest-

June. Only 21 percent said they were happy with the countryʼs leadership.

The poll, commissioned by German public broadcaster ARD, comes after weeks of bickering within the coalition over asylum policy. It also shows that 56 percent believe the governmentʼs asylum and refugee policy takes up too much room in the general debate at the moment. ment Bank lending, a special measure to protect EU companies from US sanctions and encouraging EU governments to make direct money transfers to Iranʼs central bank. Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia also agreed to enlist the help of other countries in order to save the accord.

Zimbabwe vote: Old guard vs new To have lived through a presidential poll that Robert Mugabe did not win, you would have to be over the age of 31. To remember a time he was not

running the ruling party, you would have to be at least 43. The political temperature is rising as parties traverse Zimbabwe to canvas for votes, in the run-up to a general election on July 30. The poll promises to be a showdown between the young and the old guard. The main candidates for president are incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa and Nelson Chamisa of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). At age 75, Mnangagwa is a stalwart of the Zimbabwe African National UnionPatriotic Front (ZANU-PF). He was chosen to replace Mugabe, now 94, when the army stripped him of the party leadership and booted him out of office in November. Chamisa is 40 and already a seasoned opposition lawmaker. The former student leader succeeded MDC founder Morgan Tsvangirai upon his death in February.

Deutsche Bank fails US Federal Reserve stress test The US Federal Reserve said on Thursday that Deutsche Bank US operations had failed the central bankʼs annual stress test due to "widespread and critical deficiencies" in its risk management. The Fedʼs yearly stress tests are meant to determine if big banks are strong enough to sustain a major economic downturn. Thursdayʼs qualitative test looked at capital planning, including share buybacks and dividend payments. While the bank passed an earlier set of tests, itʼs not the first time that the German banking giant has been unable to pass a US annual stress test, having failed similar tests in 2015 and 2016. Deutscheʼs negative result came after the Federal Reserve carried out its second round of annual stress tests, where it found that 32 out of the 35 major banks in the US had passed the test. As a result, the banking authority gave the approval for these financial institutions to raise dividends and buy back shares.The US regulator gave conditional approval to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley whose capital levels were adversely affected during the test by changes to the US tax code.

We cannot survive without insects Many people see insects as annoying pests

Metallica and an Afghan project win ʼNobel Prizeʼ for music As the winners of Swedenʼs prestigious Polar Music Prize, US heavy metal band Metallica and an Afghan music institute are set to be honored by the Swedish royal family on Thursday.

It may be heavy metal, but the Swedish royals wonʼt shy away from the Polar Music Prize ceremony scheduled for June 14 in Stockholm. Swedish King Carl Gustaf and his royal family are slated to attend the televised gala honoring US band Metallica and

Afghanistanʼs National Institute of Music.The Polar Music Prize is often called the "Nobel Prize" for music. In February, when this yearʼs laureates were announced, the jury cited Metallica for its "physical and furious" music. "Through virtuoso ensemble playing and its use of extremely accelerated tempos, Metallica has taken rock music to places it had never been before," the panelʼs statement read. The band has sold 110 million albums worldwide, with some of its hits including "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters."

Many people see insects as annoying pests. But British biologist Dave Goulson cautions: A world without insect is a dull place without coffee and chocolate — and with dead animals and cow patties piling up.

Dave Goulson: Insects are the dominant lifeform on the planet. Weʼve named well over a million species of insects, and there could be 5 or 10 million. As for the number of individuals, itʼs safe to say that there are many more insects than anything else (excluding microorganisms like bacteria).

Why are insects disappearing?Most people agree that itʼs a combination of factors, primarily associated with the way farming has changed in the last hundred years. Weʼve moved to this kind of industrial farming system with very

big fields with monocultures of crops that are treated with lots of pesticides.

Itʼs very difficult for most insects to survive in. People should be jumping up and down and be concerned over this, because we cannot survive without insects. Pollination is probably the best-known example of what insects do for people. Sometimes itʼs bees, sometimes itʼs flies, beetles or whatever. Most of the fruits and vegetables we like to eat, and also things like coffee and chocolate, we wouldnʼt have without insects.

Suspect arrested in Jewish Art rapper Festival 2018 XXXTentacion murder case The Broward Sheriffʼs Office said in a statement that Dedrick Devonshay Williams of Pompano Beach was arrested and charged with murder Wednesday evening in connection with XXXTentacionʼs death.

It was a violent end to a brief music career that was fraught with controversy.

The 20-year-old musician was facing charges of domestic violence at the time of his murder. Read more: Rapper XXXTentacion shot dead in Florida Authorities had originally said two suspects had ambushed the rapper in what was an apparent robbery attempt.

Why so many gosh darn jellyfish?

Mediterranean resorts are having to ban swimming because of plagues of jellyfish, which scientists blame on a complex cocktail of human impacts, from climate change to overfishing.

Few things evoke the idea of a relax-

ing vacation than a dip in the calm waters of the Mediterranean — especially for northern Europeans. But idyllic tourist spots such as southern Spain are increasingly having to prohibit bathing due to plagues of dangerous jellyfish. Experts say jellyfish arenʼt just an inconvenience for swimmers. They are evidence of a perfect storm of human impacts destabilizing marine ecosystems. Climate change, unsustainable fishing practices and agricultural chemicals are all suspects in the explosion in jellyfish numbers. But a lack of scientific knowledge about these alienlooking creatures and their complex biology means pinning down the exact cause is a complex business. The many differences between thousands of species of jellyfish make it all the more challenging for researchers to pin down clear data.

The christening of the latest addition to Britainʼs royal family Prince Louis:

Britain has been in the throes of a veritable Royals fever since the wedding of Prince Harry to US actress Meghan Markle. Next up is the baptism of Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

I christen you Louis Arthur Charles" — the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is bound to say something along those lines to the threemonth-old royal baby on Monday afternoon. That much is to be expected. But of course, there will be more to the ceremony, and the British tabloids — in high gear anyway since the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — have been speculating for weeks about the details surrounding this next big royal event. The foremost question

seems to be, what will the Duchess of Cambridge wear? OK magazine took a close look at Kateʼs outfits at recent church events, and figures she will wear a cream or light lemon-colored knee-length skirt and a jacket, subtle but pretty. It is clear what little Louis, who was born on April 23, will wear: the same christening gown that all Windsor babies wear, the exact replica of the dress Princess Victoria, the daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, wore in 1841.

No bootleg merchandise for German pop queen Like many German musical artists, popular German entertainer Helen Fischer patented her name with the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) — first in 2010 and again in 2015. The entries protect her name through mid-2019, and the singer has the option to extend the trademark protection. As a rule, musicians choose trademark protection in three categories, a music manager told German tabloid Bild Zeitung: in "sound storage mediums, shows and clothing." Helene Fischer took protection a step further, entering her name in ten of the 45 so-called Nice categories.

The Nice classificationis a system of classifying goods and services for EU trade mark applications. Xavier Naidoo, Rammstein, Die Toten Hosen and Udo Lindenberg — they, too, have registered their artist names with the DPMA to protect their music, fan merchandise and various additional products sold under their logo or name. In the case of Helene Fischer, that includes toilet lid covers and fishing equipment.

From capers to yuzu – Budapest’s best gin and tonics A G&T is always a good idea. It’s a drink with a long and interesting history: alcohol flavoured with spices and juniper berries was first created in the Low Countries and conquered today’s Holland and Belgium. In the 1700s, the English took a shine to it and there were times when gin consumption in London was out of control. Prohibited in the past, gin is an indispensable part of modern bar culture today. Gin is best mingled with tonic, but more spices and a sprinkle of magic make it it the perfect summer drink. See where to find the best G&Ts in Budapest.

British GP: Sebastian Vettel fastest in second practice

Ferrariʼs Sebastian Vettel was a surprise pace-setter ahead of Lewis Hamiltonʼs Mercedes in second practice at the British Grand Prix. The German was 0.187 seconds clear of Hamilton, whose Mercedes team appeared to be unexpectedly struggling for pace on the sweeping Silverstone track. Mercedesʼ Valtteri Bottas was third, ahead of Ferrariʼs Kimi Raikkonen. Red Bullʼs Max Verstappen crashed early in the session, while team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was fifth.

If Hamilton wins on Sunday it would be a record sixth British GP victory, and would take him ahead of Sebastian Vettel in the driversʼ championship, in which the German currently leads by one point.

Aleksandar Kolarovʼs free kick stunner secures Serbia win over Costa Rica A brilliant second half free kick from captain Aleksandar Kolarov led Serbia to a deserved win over Costa Rica. Serbia were wasteful in front of goal but did enough to secure three vital points in Group E. Another World Cup day, another sublime freekick. If Cristiano Ronaldo’s ice-cold effort tosnatch a point against arch-rivals Spain on day two was the current goal of the tournament frontrunner, the Portuguese may have just met his match. Aleksandar Kolarov, take a bow. A combination of poor finishing and sublime goalkeeping had kept the scores level until Serbia’s no.11 produced his moment of magic. Kolarov’s powerful left foot is no secret, but few inside the stadium would have expected such a thunderous strike when the Roma defender stood over a free kick midway through the second half. His shot was unstoppable; a side-footed missile which screamed into the top corner of the Costa Rica net. Kaylor Navas, who kept his team in the game with several crucial saves either side of half time, was nowhere near it.

Varane header and Muslera howler sends France into last four World Cup 2018:

Raphael Varaneʼs majestic header and a goalkeeping error by Fernando Muslera ended Uruguayʼs World Cup campaign and sent France into the semi-finals of the World Cup. They will face the winner of Belgium versus Brazil.

France have returned to a World Cup semifinal for the first time since 2006 after an efficient and intelligent display saw them beat a Uruguay team that struggled without the injured Edison Cavani. After a slow and scrappy start in which Kylian Mbappe missed a glorious chance, sending his free header well over the bar, France broke the deadlock. Antoine Griezmann whipped in a free kick and Raphael Varane timed his diagonal run perfectly to send his header in at the back post. Before halftime, Hugo Lloris made a superb

reflex save to deny Martin Caceres with Diego Godin somehow blazing the rebound over. With Uruguay pressing for an equalizer, Fernando Muslera made a game-changing error that all but ended the contest.

Griezmannʼs hopeful shot from outside the area swerved a bit but should have been saved. Instead, Muslera flapped and the ball spun into the net.

The goal saw tensions rise as Mbappe saw yellow for some theatrics, but Uruguayʼs frustration quickly faded into disappointment as their World Cup dream slipped away.

Gianluigi Buffon: Paris St-Germain complete signing of Juventus legend Paris St-Germain have signed former Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon on a free transfer.

Buffon, 40, left Juventus at the end of last season, ending a 17-year stay at a club where he played 656 times. The nine-time Serie A winner was rumoured to be offered an off-field role at Juve but has signed a one-year deal with the French champions with the option for a further 12 months. "I know what dreams PSG and its fans

have in their hearts," he said. "I am going to bring all my energy, all my experience and all of my thirst to win to help my new club achieve all the great objectives it has set out for the future. "For the first time in my career, I am leaving my country and only a project this ambitious could have encouraged me to make such a decision." Buffon closed out his Juventus career with a seventh consecutive league title.
