1. SC strikes down `military justice` for civilians
In a judgement that was hailed widely across the political spectrum, a five-member bench of the Supreme Court on Monday declared unconstitutional by a majority of 4-1 the military trials of civilians for their alleged role in attacks on army installations.
Led by Justice Ijazul Ahsan, the bench comprising Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Yahya Afridi, Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, and Justice Ayesha A Malik unanimously emphasised that the cases of the accused involved in the May 9 riots will proceed before criminal courts

Special Court Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain conducted the hearing at Rawalpindi`s Adiala Jail.

3. Senate to finally meet this week on Gaza situation
The upper house of parliament will finally be meeting this week for the first time since the caretaker set-up took up the reins of power, to discuss the situation in Gaza.
The announcement came three days after the PPP, with support from PTI, JI, JUI-F, and some other parties, submitted a requisition carrying 44 signatures to summon the Senate session.
Despite the significance of the Palestine issue, the Senate secretariat, however, chose to make a controversial announcement on Monday regarding the session
4. Punjab free from polio, but threat exists: health official
Head of the Polio Eradication Programme in Punjab Khizer Afzaal on Monday took pride in highlighting the fact that the country`s biggest province had been free of polio cases for nearly three years since October 2020, terming it `an achievement of the programme`, but cautioned that, as evident from the genomic sampling of viruses in Lahore and Rawalpindi environmental samples, Punjab was at risk of virus importation.
`The Punjab has been free of polio cases for the last three years, but as long as polio exists anywhere, it is a threat to children everywhere`, Mr Khizer said in a statement on the eve of `World Polio Day` to be observed on Tuesday (today).
5. Urban areas` population in Asia-Pacific to go up to 3.4bn in 2050: UN report
As the cities in the Asia-Pacific region continue to grow at an unprecedented rate, the population of people living in urban areas is projected to increase to 3.4 billion in 2050 from 2.5 billion today, a new UN report released on Monday says.
According to the `Future of Asian and Pacific Cities Report 2023: Crisis Resilient Urban Future`, the region has the largest number of people about 650 million living in informal settlements and slums, who are acutely vulnerable and marginalised. A disproportionately high number of large cities are on the coast, under threat from rising sea levels and flooding to climate change, the report warns.

In addition, about a dozen trucks carrying desperately needed aid the third convoy in three days arrived inside Gaza from Egypt on Monday through Rafah, even as PM Mohammed Shtayyeh accused Western nations of giving Israel a `licence to kill`
7. Erdogan sends Sweden`s Nato bid to parliament for ratification
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday submitted a bill approving Sweden`s Nato membership bid to parliament for ratification, the presidency said, in a move welcomed by Stockholm that clears the way for it to join the Western defence alliance.
Erdogan pleased his Nato allies at a summit in July by promising to send the legislation to parliament when it reopened on Oct 1, having previously raised objections over Sweden`s alleged harbouring of terrorists

American and allied forces in Syria were targeted on Monday in an attack that did not cause casualties, a US official said, after a group claimed to have launched drones at Washington`s troops.
`An attack against US and coalition forces occurred early this morning in Syria. There were no injuries or damage,` a US defence official said.

10. Pakistan have nowhere to hide after Afghanistan thrashing
This time, Babar Azam had nowhere to hide. The Pakistan captain usually manages to skip post-match press conferences, especially when the team loses a match.
But on Monday, he couldn`t. He shouldn`t have, in fact, after Pakistan fell to their first ever loss to Afghanistan in a one-day international.
To Babar`s horror, it came during the WorldCup; his charges falling to a third successive defeat in the tournament, their odds of finishing in the top four narrowing with each game. There was no avoiding questions, probing ones, that needed answers.
