6. US court upholds `right to carry gun in public` Biden slams ruling
• The US Supreme Court ruled on June 23, 2022 that Americans have a fundamental right to carry a handgun in public, a landmark decision with far-reaching implications for states and cities across the country struggling with a surge in gun violence.
• The 6-3 decision strikes down a more than century-old New York law that required a person to prove they had a legitimate self-defence need, or `proper cause,` to receive a permit to carry a handgun outside the home.
• Several other states, including California, have similar laws and the court`s ruling will curb their ability to restrict people from carrying guns in public
7. Billionaire Mikati picked to form new govt in Lebanon
• Lebanon`s lawmakers designated incumbent Prime Minister Najib Mikati to form a new government on June 23, 2022, more than a month after parliamentary elections that yielded no clear majority.
• The 66-year-old billionaire, who had been widely expected to keep his job, secured 54 votes during parliamentary consultations, giving him a clear edge over other potential nominees.
• President Michel Aoun subsequently asked him to form a new government, a task analysts fear could take weeks, if not months, despite the economic emergency facing the country
8. Turkey, Israel agree to restore ties to ambassadorial level
• Turkey and Israel have begun work on restoring their mutual diplomatic representation to ambassador level, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday as the two countries seek an end to more than a decade of strained ties.
• The two countries expelled ambassadors in 2018 and have often traded barbs over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
• Energy has emerged as a key area for potential cooperation as they strive to mend their relations
9. Poliovirus found in UK `could have come from 22 countries`
• After the United Kingdom discovered the poliovirus in sewage samples in London for the first time in the last four decades, suspicion has fallen on Pakistan as being the source.
• However, health authorities in Islamabad claim the `vaccine-derived virus` found in the UK exists in 22 countries and the type found locally was the wild poliovirus (WPV).
• The UK Health Security Agency has noted that the virus was probably imported from some country, and has asked parents to ensure their children were fully immunised against the crippling disease.
10. Shandur Polo Festival to begin on July 1
