    Sri Lanka coach Graham Ford - file photo Sri Lanka coach Graham Ford has stepped down after 15 months in his second stint with the team, the cricket board announced on Saturday.
    South African Ford, who first coached Sri Lanka between 2012 and 2014, rejoined the team in February last year, signing a contract until the 2019 World Cup.
    The 56-year-old led the team to memorable test and twenty20 series wins over Australia but Sri Lanka´s performance this year has been inconsistent with the team suffering their first ever test loss to Bangladesh and a whitewash in South Africa.
    They could not make the semi-finals of this month´s Champions Trophy either.
    "We have to thank Fordy for his invaluable contribution to Sri Lanka Cricket," board president Thilanga Sumathipala said in a statement.
    "This was a decision arrived at mutually after careful consideration and deliberation... we are indeed sorry to see him go. We wish him the very best in where his path lies."
    Ford previously worked with English county club Surrey and was the director of cricket at Kent.
    "It´s been a privilege to work with these talented young men over the past 15 months. Their passion for the sport is inspiring, as is indeed this nation´s," Ford said.
    "I wish Sri Lanka Cricket and the boys the very best, and I must offer a word of advice to the young men ? Always believe in yourself, believe in your team, and play from your heart."
    Sri Lanka host Zimbabwe in a five-match one day international series starting on Friday.

    Intelligence Based Operations (IBOs) and search operations were conducted in suspected areas as Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad continues across the country, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Saturday.

    Three terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire during an IBO in Mathra, Peshawar while one soldier and three policemen were injured.
    Joint search operations were conducted in the outskirts of Faisalabad, Gojra and Jarranwala by Pakistan Rangers Punjab, CTD, Police and Intelligence Agencies. In these operations, 12 suspects were apprehended and illegal weapons were recovered.
    On February 22 this year, the army launched a nationwide operation titled 'Radd-ul-Fasaad', which would include wide security and counter-terrorism operations in Punjab and the continuation of ongoing operations across the country.
    According to the ISPR Director-General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, the operation?s aims include the elimination of the residual and latent threat of terrorism, consolidating gains of operations made so far and ensuring the security of Pakistan?s borders.
    The operation will entail conduct of broad spectrum security and counter-terrorism operations by Rangers in Punjab, continuation of ongoing operations across the country and focus on more effective border security management, said the ISPR.
    The operation will also include a countrywide deweaponisation and explosive control as additional cardinals of the effort. The hallmark of this operation will be pursuance of the National Action Plan, it was stated further.
    The decision came after Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa held a high-level security meeting in Lahore.

    Extensive damage is seen to the Grenfell Tower block which was destroyed in a disastrous fire, in north Kensington, West London, June 16, 2017/Reuters LONDON: Six emails sent by and to an Arconic Inc sales manager raise questions about why the company supplied combustible cladding to a distributor for use at Grenfell Tower, despite publicly warning such panels were a fire risk for tall buildings.
    The emails, dating from 2014 and seen by Reuters, were between Deborah French, Arconic's UK sales manager, and executives at the contractors involved in the bidding process for the refurbishment contract at Grenfell Tower in London, where 79 people died in a blaze last week.
    When asked about the emails, Arconic said in a statement that it had known the panels would be used at Grenfell Tower but that it was not its role to decide what was or was not compliant with local building regulations.
    The company manufactures three main types of Reynobond panel-- one with a polyethylene (PE) core, one with a fire retardant core and another with a non-combustible core, according to its website.
    Diagrams in a 2016 Arconic brochure for its Reynobond panels describe how PE core panels are suitable up to 10 metres in height. Panels with a fire resistant core -- the FR model -- can be used up to 30 metres, while above that height, panels with the non-combustible core -- the A2 model -- should be used, the brochure says.
    Grenfell Tower is more than 60 metres tall.
    Police consider manslaughter charges over London blaze as thousands evacuated
    Fire safety checks are now taking place on public buildings across Britain
    The brochure also issued a blunt warning that cladding can be a fire risk.
    "When conceiving a building, it is crucial to choose the adapted products in order to avoid the fire to spread to the whole building. Especially when it comes to facades and roofs, the fire can spread extremely rapidly," the brochure said.
    "As soon as the building is higher than the fire fighters?ladders, it has to be conceived with an incombustible material."
    Nonetheless, between May and July 2014, French, who was based at Arconic's factory in Merxheim, France, responded to requests from the companies involved in refurbishing Grenfell Tower on the availability of samples of five different types of Reynobond aluminium-covered panels, all of which were only available in the combustible PE and FR versions, according to Arconic brochures.
    In the end, Arconic said on Friday, the company provided PE panels.
    "While we publish general usage guidelines, regulations and codes vary by country and need to be determined by the local building code experts," the company said in an emailed statement in response to the Reuters enquiry.
    "The loss of lives, injuries and destruction following the Grenfell Tower fire are devastating, and we would like to express our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this tragedy ... We will fully support the authorities as they investigate this tragedy," the statement said.
    French did not respond to requests for comment.
    Arconic, which was known as Alcoa Inc until 2016, declined to say if it knew how tall the tower was and the emails seen by Reuters do not specifically refer to its height. They do, however, refer to "Grenfell Tower" and mention other high rise projects where paneling has been used when discussing the appearance that was being sought for Grenfell Tower.
    Arconic also knew the quantity of panels being supplied and thus the total exterior coverage. A source at one of the companies involved in the process said Arconic had "full involvement" throughout the contract bidding process.
    Omnis Exteriors, Arconic's UK distributor, Harley Facades Ltd., the company which installed the panels, Rydon Group, the overall contractor on the 2014-2016 Grenfell refurbishment, and the local authority which owns the tower block all declined to comment.
    Rydon and Omnis have previously said in statements that their work on the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower, which was intended to give the building better heat and sound insulation, complied with all building regulations. Harley said last week it was "not aware of any link between the fire and the exterior cladding to the tower".
    In the emails, French and representatives of Harley, Omnis and Rydon also discuss the choice of panel models and colors and how they were inching towards securing the contract with the local authority, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC).
    Harris did not respond to requests for comment. RBKC declined to comment.
    At the weekend, British finance minister Philip Hammond said the type of panels used, which are cheaper than non-combustible panels, were banned for use in high rise buildings in Britain, as they are in Europe and the United States.
    Safety experts say the regulations are not black and white as they consider the overall safety of a project, taking account of how the safety measures taken interact.
    This 'principles-based' approach is different to the highly specific 'rules-based' approach to regulation taken in the United States.
    The fatal fire was started by a faulty Hotpoint fridge-freezer in one of the apartments, London police said on Friday. Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack said insulation on the building, and the cladding panels, had failed safety tests carried out after the disaster.
    The police investigation was considering the possibility of manslaughter and criminal offences in respect of the fire.

    WASHINGTON: Washington's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan stepped down on Friday, just as the United States is preparing to send thousands of more troops to the region.

    A senior State Department official told AFP that acting special representative Laurel Miller left the post without a replacement being named.
    State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Miller is returning to a position at the Rand Corporation and that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has not yet decided what to do with post.
    The office was created when US officials decided that the conflicts in Afghanistan and Pakistan are inextricably linked and ought to be dealt with together.
    President Donald Trump came to office planning to slash diplomatic spending and Tillerson plans to cut several special envoy roles.
    Miller's responsibilities will now fall under the department's South and Central Asian Affairs Bureau, which has a much bigger footprint that includes India.
    But this bureau is itself leaderless, with no assistant secretary appointed to lead it and no one nominated by the new administration for Senate approval.
    When news site Politico broke the news that the envoy post had gone, it cited diplomats complaining of a rushed process and a dangerous leadership vacuum.
    But, also speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior official told AFP the decision was part of a broader policy review.
    Tillerson thinks the issue is best handled at a regional level, the official said, arguing that it made sense to consider India part of the equation.
    Trump has given the Pentagon and US commanders wide latitude to decide on the future of Washington's longest ever war -- the 16-year slog in Afghanistan.
    Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is reportedly planning to deploy up to 5,000 extra troops to bolster efforts to train Afghan forces to repel a resurgent Taliban insurgency.

    ISLAMABAD: A four-member committee has been constituted to investigate the alleged changes made in the records by Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and other institutes.
    Formed by the acting chairperson of Federal Investigation Agency, Captain (retd) Ahmed Latif, the committee will be headed by Anti-Corruption Wing Director Maqsood-ul-Hassan. Besides the director, it will include deputy directors, Ayaz Khan, Farooq Latif and Tahir Tanvir.
    The decision has been taken after the Panama case Joint Investigation Team complained against the SECP and other institutes for tampering with its records.
    Institutions tampering with records, creating hurdles: Panamagate JIT
    JIT accuses IB personnel of threatening its member, Bilal Rasool, trying to hack his family's Facebook accounts.
    In its second report submitted to the Supreme Court, the JIT has alleged that the SECP Chairperson Zafar-ul-Haq Hijazi and Executive Director Ali Azeem were tampering the records of Chaudhry Sugar Mills the team had asked for. The JIT stated it also asked for the documents of all the past enquiries carried out against the Sharif family, but the SECP denied of any such enquiry being carried out in the past.
    "A witness said that the SECP chairperson directed the record of enquiries not be searched," stated the report. "The SECP chief also ordered the tampering of records of Chaudhry Sugar Mills and Azeem changed it from the past dates. Azeem was also nominated by the SECP chairperson for inclusion in the JIT, to sabotage investigation."
    Besides SECP, the JIT also complained of the Federal Board of Revenue of not providing the required records and the Ministry of Law for delaying, by five days, a letter needed for investigations abroad.

    LONDON: Reigning champions Australia will be the team to beat when the 11th edition of the Women´s World Cup gets under way in England this weekend.
    Led by Meg Lanning, the outstanding batsmen in the women´s game today, Australia will be looking to win their seventh title in a tournament that now features the world´s top eight one-day international sides.
    Australia swept aside South Africa by 103 runs in a recent warm-up match, while South Africa themselves skittled out the West Indies, the reigning women´s World Twenty20 champions, for just 63 in another warm-up game.
    Meanwhile England, Australia´s perennial rivals in the women´s game, needed fewer than 28 overs to reach a meagre target of 131 against another fellow previous World Cup-winner in New Zealand.
    Organisers will hope that any rustiness has been chipped away come the start of the tournament proper and that there is a repeat of the excitement generated during last year´s women´s World Twenty20 in India.
    "Our last global (women´s) event was won by the West Indies," International Cricket Council chief executive David Richardson told AFP during a conference call earlier this week.
    "I know that it´s easier to be more competitive in the Twenty20 format than it is in the 50-over one, but I think this tournament will show the talent that is available out there," the former South Africa wicket-keeper added.
    A final at Lord´s on July 23 will mark the culmination of 31 matches also played at county grounds in Bristol, Derby, Leicester and Taunton.
    All the fixtures will be streamed live, with 10 broadcast on television in another sign of the growing global interest in women´s cricket.
    ´High standards´
    Lanning, the only player to have hit 10 centuries in women´s ODIs, said that external pressure on Australia was as nothing compared to that generated by her squad as they look to follow up their success in India four years ago.
    "We´ve got pressure on ourselves to perform well, we hold ourselves to very high standards and we want to uphold them," she explained.
    Meg Lanning Meanwhile West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor accepted her team needed a different approach compared to the one that served them so well in Twenty20 cricket.
    "When it comes to 50 overs, it´s all about a different mindset. You have to be patient, it´s a longer format, and you do have time."
    Tournament hosts England and India, a team who´ve enjoyed success in English conditions in recent times, launch the competition in Derby on Saturday.
    New Zealand and Sri Lanka meet in Bristol on the same day,with Australia, Pakistan, South Africa and the West Indies all waiting in the wings.
    England won the World Cup on the two previous occasions they staged the tournament, triumphing in the inaugural 1973 edition and again in 1993, as well as lifting the trophy in Sydney in 2009.
    England, for all their squad are now full-time professionals, have talked down their chances with captain Heather Knight saying the initial target is to get to the semi-finals.
    But predecessor Charlotte Edwards, who retired from international duty last year, said: "I don´t believe for one minute that England feel like getting to the semi-finals will be a success.
    "They are more than capable of winning this tournament."
    England will be bolstered by the return of talented wicket-keeper/batsman Sarah Taylor following a stress-related illness.
    Meanwhile India captain Mithali Raj summed up the spirit of defiance in a women´s game that wants to be appreciated on its own terms.
    Asked by a reporter who her favourite men´s cricketer was out of the India and Pakistan teams at a pre-World Cup dinner in London on Thursday, the experienced batsman replied: "Do you ask the same question to a male cricketer? Do you ask them who their favourite female cricketer is?
    "I have always been asked who´s your favourite cricketer but you should ask them who their favourite female cricketer is," she added.

    People search for survivors at the site of a landslide that destroyed some 40 households, where more than 100 people are feared to be buried, according to local media reports, in Xinmo Village, China June 24, 2017. Photo: REUTERS BEIJING: Chinese rescuers scoured through rocks on Saturday in a frantic search for more than 140 people feared buried after a landslide smashed through a mountain village in southwest Sichuan province.

    A couple and a baby were rescued and taken to hospital after more than 40 homes in the village of Xinmo were swallowed by huge boulders when the side of a mountain collapsed, according to the Maoxian county government.
    At least 141 people and 46 homes were buried, the People´s Daily said, citing a Maoxian county government spokesperson. The landslide blocked a two kilometre (one mile) stretch of river and 1.6 kilometre of road.
    Rescuers used ropes to move a massive rock while dozens of others searched the rubble for survivors, according to videos posted by the Maoxian government on its Weibo social media account.
    Bulldozers and heavy diggers were also deployed to remove boulders, the images showed. Medics were seen treating a woman on a road.
    Wang Yongbo, one of the local officials in charge of rescue efforts, said the vital signs of one of the survivors "are weak".
    "It´s the biggest landslide in this area since the Wenchuan earthquake," he said, referring to the disaster that killed 87,000 people in 2008 in a town in Sichuan.
    Local police captain Chen Tiebo said the heavy rains that hit the region in recent days had triggered the landslide.
    "There are several tonnes of rock," he told the state broadcaster CCTV.
    "It´s a seismic area here. There´s not a lot of vegetation," Chen said.
    Trees can help absorb excess rain and prevent landslides.
    Some 500 people were taking part in rescue efforts, according to CCTV.
    More rain forecast
    An emergency response "to the first class catastrophic geological disaster" is under way, the local government´s statement said, adding that the full extent of the landslide was at yet unclear.
    A report from the state news agency Xinhua said that the landslide came from a high part of a mountain in the Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Aba had collapsed.
    President Xi Jinping called for rescuers to "spare no effort" in their search for survivors, according to CCTV.
    China´s national weather observatory said more heavy rain was expected in parts of Sichuan and other southwestern provinces.
    Past disasters
    Landslides are a frequent danger in rural and mountainous parts of China, particularly at times of heavy rains.
    At least 12 people were killed in January when a landslide crushed a hotel in central Hubei province.
    In October landslides battered eastern China in the wake of torrential rains brought by Typhoon Megi, causing widespread damage and killing at least eight.
    More than 70 were killed by a landslide in the southern commercial hub of Shenzhen in December 2015, caused by the improper storage of waste.
    One of the deadliest landslides took place in 1991, when 216 were killed in southwestern Yunnan province.

    A Tesla Model X is photographed alongside a Model S at a Tesla electric car dealership in Sydney, Australia, May 31, 2017. Photo: REUTERS/file Automakers are using tiny cameras, sensors to track drooping heads, steering wheel monitors and audible alerts to ensure drivers pay attention when using advanced driver assistance systems, like Tesla?s Autopilot, that allow drivers to take their hands off the wheel.

    In a report this week on the May 2016 crash of a Tesla Inc Model S that killed a driver who was using Autopilot, the National Transportation Safety Board demonstrated that users could mostly keep their hands off the wheel for extended periods despite repeated warnings from the vehicle.
    But the crash underscored a vexing problem for automakers that want to gain an edge by launching technology that completely automates driving tasks. Unless a car is capable of driving itself safely in every situation, drivers will still have to remain alert and ready to take control even if the car is piloting itself.
    The NTSB, the federal agency charged with investigating significant transportation accidents, said during a 37-minute section of the 41-minute Tesla trip, the driver kept his hands on the wheel for just 25 seconds, putting his hands on the wheel for one- to- three second increments after getting repeated visual and audible warnings. General Motors Co delayed introduction of a driver assistance technology called Super Cruise that was initially planned for late last year because it said it was not ready. The technology will go on sale this fall.
    Barry Walkup, chief engineer of Super Cruise, said the company added "a driver attention function, to insist on driver supervision." The system uses a small camera that focuses on the driver and works with infrared lights to track head position to determine where the driver is looking. If the system - which uses facial recognition software - detects the driver is not paying attention, it will prompt the driver to return attention to the road. If the driver does not respond, it will escalate alerts, including a steering wheel light bar, visual indicators, tactile alerts in the seat and audible alerts. If the driver does not respond, the vehicle is brought to a controlled stop.

If the driver does not respond, the vehicle is brought to a controlled stop.
    Volkswagen AG's luxury Audi unit has a system that handles steering and braking at speeds of up to 40 miles. The system requires the driver to check in with the steering wheel every 15 seconds. Audi said the system will beep alerts at the driver, and if the driver does not respond, it will bring the vehicle to a stop.
    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is the lead agency for regulating self-driving cars, does not test or pre-approve driver assistance systems before automakers install them. Instead, the agency responds to complaints or crashes when it investigates whether a potential defect poses an unreasonable risk to driver safety. The May 2016 Tesla accident has raised concerns about the regulation of self-driving cars.
    The NTSB will issue probable cause findings and may make recommendations to the NHTSA in the Tesla crash but does not plan to hold a public hearing on the incident, spokesman Keith Holloway said.
    In September 2016, Tesla unveiled new restrictions on Autopilot after widespread concerns the system lulled users into a false sense of security through its "hands-off" driving capability. The updated system temporarily prevents drivers from using the system if they do not respond to audible warnings to take back control of the car.
    The car sounds warnings if drivers take their hands off the wheel for more than a minute at speeds above 45 miles per hour (72 kph) when there is no vehicle ahead, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk told reporters in September. If the driver ignores three audible warnings in an hour, the system temporarily shuts off until it is parked.
    Musk said at the time that autopilot accidents are far more likely for expert users of the system, saying some users got as many as 10 warnings in an hour under the prior system. ?It's not the neophytes, it's the experts. They get very comfortable with it and repeatedly ignore the car's warnings and in effect it becomes like a reflex action,? Musk said.
    Tesla monitors drivers through their interactions with the steering wheel, turn signal, and speed setting, NHTSA said in a separate report.
    Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit, which is also working on self-driving technology, is taking a different approach, arguing that asking drivers to pay attention while the car drives itself is wrong. Waymo is focusing its efforts on fully autonomous vehicles where humans take no part in driving, rather driver assistance. "We're not seeking to build a better car. Our goal is to build a better driver," Waymo Chief Executive Officer John Krafcik said earlier this year.

    Captain (R) Safdar, son-in-law of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. ? Geo News file ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif?s son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar is scheduled to appear before the joint investigation team (JIT), constituted by the Supreme Court to probe businesses and financial dealings of the Sharif family, on Saturday (today).
    The JIT has summoned Captain (retd) Safdar at 11am today, where he is scheduled to record his statement before the investigation team.
    Earlier this week the JIT had rejected Captain(retd) Safdar?s application of changing the date of his hearing.
    On June 15, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif became the first sitting prime minister to appear before a JIT, formed by the Supreme Court to investigate alleged corruption by the first family, following the Panama Papers revelations.
    Every penny we've earned is accounted for, says PM after JIT appearance
    Special security measures were in place ahead of Nawaz Sharif?s visit to the Panama case JIT
    Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif was summoned before the JIT on June 17, whereas sons of the Prime Minister, Hussain and Hassan Nawaz, have so far made multiple appearances before the probe panel.
    PM Sharif has denied any wrongdoing over his family allegedly using offshore companies to buy luxury flats in a posh London neighbourhood, and has said his family wealth was acquired legally.
    In April, the Supreme Court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to remove Sharif from office on the back of the Panama Papers leaks, but it ordered further investigations under a JIT.
    The JIT comprises members from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence, Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

    The United Nations stressed on Thursday its support for eradicating cholera in Haiti, an epidemic it accidentally started, although the government said residents would be better served if aid funding was channeled through it.
    The UN secretary-general on Tuesday appointed a new special envoy for Haiti tasked with leading fundraising efforts for the plan to beat cholera, introduced in 2010 when peacekeepers dumped infected sewage into a river.
    "We acknowledge that there's a problem and we are here to reiterate the commitment of the United Nations and the international community to work together to fight this problem and to work to solve it," Bolivia's UN Ambassador Sacha Sergio Llorentty Soliz told journalists at the national palace.
    Llorentty is also president of the UN Security Council for the month of June.
    Haiti's Minister of Foreign Affairs Aviol Fleuriant said the UN Security Council and the government had discussed plans for better management of aid in a closed-door meeting.
    "A large part of aid travels through NGOs ... which could be used to efficiently and sustainably finance the implementation of public policy through governmental channels," he said.
    The Security Council voted unanimously in April to end its 13-year-long peacekeeping mission in Haiti and replace it with a smaller mission, which would be drawn down after two years as the country boosts its own force.
    The peacekeeping mission, one of the longest running in the world and known as MINUSTAH, has been dogged by controversies, including the introduction of cholera to the island and sexual abuse claims.
    As members of the Security Council touched down in Haiti on Thursday, some 200 people assembled outside the UN base with posters and signs calling for reparations to individual cholera victims and demanding an end to MINUSTAH and the follow-up mission.
    "If MINUSTAH hadn't brought cholera here, I wouldn't have had cholera," said Renette Charedy, a 36-year-old standing at the fringes of the protest.
    The UN does not accept legal responsibility for the outbreak of the disease, which causes uncontrollable diarrhea. Some 9,300 people have died and more than 800,000 sickened due to cholera and Haiti's government believes the UN still has work to do on it.

    LONDON: Investigators said on Friday they would consider manslaughter charges over the London tower block fire that killed at least 79 people, as thousands of apartment-dwellers a few miles away were told to leave their homes due to fire risk.
    The outside cladding engulfed in June 14's deadly blaze has since been shown to fail all safety tests, police said. They have already seized material from a number of undisclosed organisations.
    Fire safety checks are now taking place on public buildings across Britain. Late on Friday, one municipal authority in north London began to evacuate nearly 4,000 people from five tower blocks after firefighters said it was unsafe for them to stay.
    Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack said experts had now concluded that the earlier fire, the mostly deadly blaze in London since World War Two, had started in a fridge freezer.
    The blaze has provoked anger and heaped pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May, who is fighting for her political survival after her party lost its parliamentary majority in a snap election at a time when Britain is beginning divorce talks with the European Union.
    The speed at which the fire engulfed the 24-storey Grenfell Tower raised questions about the external cladding on the block.
    Asked if the insulation and aluminium tiles used were acceptable for such buildings, McCormack told reporters: "No they're not."
    "All I can say at the moment is they don't pass any of the safety tests. So that will form part of what is a manslaughter investigation."
    As well as possible manslaughter, police will consider health and safety offences and breaches of other building regulations. McCormack said all companies involved in the building and refurbishment of the building would be reviewed.
    Britain also ordered an immediate technical examination of the Hotpoint fridge model FF175BP, which had not been subject to any recall to establish whether further action should be taken, but said there was no need for owners to switch off their appliances.
    Whirlpool's shared closed down 3.3 percent on Friday, wiping almost $500 million off the company's value.
    Whirlpool owns the Hotpoint brand in the Europe and Asia Pacific regions. In the United States, the Hotpoint brand now belongs to Haier, following the Chinese group's purchase of General Electric Co's appliance business.
    "We are working with the authorities to obtain access to the appliance so that we can assist with the ongoing investigations," said Whirlpool, the world's largest maker of home appliances.
    "Words cannot express our sorrow at this terrible tragedy," Whirlpool said in a statement.
    The company said 64,000 such fridge freezers were made by Indesit between 2006 and 2009 when the model was discontinued, some years before Whirlpool acquired Indesit.
    FOCUS OF ANGER
    The fire has acted as a focal point for anger at local authority funding cuts and, if more buildings are deemed unsafe, the government faces the task of rehousing people within existing social housing facilities which are stretched.
    The government said it was urgently conducting tests on some 600 high-rise buildings in England which have exterior cladding, often added to insulate them or improve the external appearance of ageing blocks. Some councils have begun removing the panels.
    May, who faced criticism for slow public reaction to the fire, said on Twitter that her thoughts were with the 800 households being evacuated from a group of tower blocks in north London on Friday evening.
    Residents complained of first hearing about the evacuation from the media and getting very short notice to leave from city officials going door to door.
    "It was farcical communication. You don't get everyone to leave this quickly," 21-year-old Daniel Tackaberry told Reuters outside a nearby sports centre where the local council had laid out air beds for people for whom they could not find hotels.
    Broadcaster Sky News showed one resident, Abdul, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, who said he had been told there was no hotel for him and he had to stay on an air bed.
    The council's leader, Georgia Gould, said in a statement outside the council's offices that it would take up to four weeks to repair the blocks that were evacuated and later added in a radio interview that nearly 4,000 residents were affected.
    Ed Miliband, the former leader of the opposition Labour Party, said on Twitter that May should have convened a central government emergency committee to assist the local council.
    Grenfell Tower, in west London, had undergone an 8.7 million pound ($11 million) refurbishment that was completed in 2016, but residents of the more than 120 apartments had complained about its fire safety.
    McCormack said the police investigation would look at the entire facade of the building, how the building was constructed and the refurbishment work. She said it would examine all aspects of the cladding: the aluminium tiles, the insulation behind it, how it was fitted to building and the installation.
    In addition to the criminal investigation, police and firefighters were continuing painstaking efforts to locate the victims. So far only nine people have been formally identified and police said the remains of some might never be found, the blaze having been so fierce.
    Some residents believe the official number of the dead or missing presumed dead was lower than the true figure. McCormack acknowledged they might not know everyone who was in the building as some people might fear coming forward because they were in the country illegally.
    She said the government had given assurances they were not interested in anyone's immigration status.
    "I remain really concerned though that we do not have a complete picture," she said. "I fear that there are more."

    The body size of some whale species diminished by several metres decades before 20th-century factory fishing caused their populations to collapse, researchers said Thursday.
    If that pattern holds true for other commercially harvested marine species, a drop in body size could serve as early warning that protective measures are needed, they reported in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.early warning that protective measures are needed, they reported in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
    Once a population has crashed, recovery is difficult at best: 25 years after a moratorium on Canada's decimated northwest Atlantic Cod fishery, the sub-species has yet to bounce back.northwest Atlantic Cod fishery, the sub-species has yet to bounce back.
    Hunted since the 18th century, many whale species were saved from extinction by a leaky 1982 moratorium that has still allowed more than 1,000 of the majestic sea mammals to be killed every year.
    Researchers led by Christopher Clements of the University of Zurich looked at annual records -- including size and number caught -- compiled by the International Whaling Commission and reaching back to about 1900, when new technologies emerged that turned the hunt into a harvest.
    "We show that during this period of commercial whaling, the mean body size of caught whales declined dramatically -- by up to four metres (13 feet) -- over a 70-year period," the study concluded.
    Industrial whaling wiped out nearly three million of the animals during the last century, according to a tally published recently in the journal Marine Fisheries Review.
    Factory ships

    Clements and his colleagues focused of four species that accounted for 80 percent of that haul: sei, fin and blue whales -- the largest animals ever to roam the planet -- are filter feeders, and listed as endangered on the Red List of threatened species. The box-headed sperm whale is probably most recognisable as Ahab's adversary in Moby Dick.feeders, and listed as endangered on the Red List of threatened species.

The box-headed sperm whale is probably most recognisable as Ahab's adversary in Moby Dick.
    "Fishing pressure remained high until whale populations collapsed and become commercially untenable, whereupon whalers moved on to new species," the study said.
    For blue, fin and sei whales, body size started to shrink a couple of decades before the sudden drop off in numbers caught.
    For sperm whales, the decline in size was gradual across most of the century, showing up clearly at least 40 years before annual catch levels plummeted.
    "Early warning signals were present for all four species," the researchers said.
    Adding catch figures into the picture strengthened the predictive power of their model, which they suggest could be applied to fish and other marine animals under intense fishing pressure.
    But in the absence of reliable catch data, changes in size and other physical traits "may be used to predict collapse," the study concluded.
    Tens of millions of sharks, for example, are killed every year for their fins, the size of which may provide clues on the health of regional or global populations for these top-level predators.
    Wild sole, salmon and lobster could also benefit from such an approach.

    Take away a vampire's teeth and he's just a goth that can't handle garlic. Wait for some decent cloud cover and your average werewolf is about as scary as Lassie.
    But there is one enduring horror trope that can have grown men and women gnawing at their fingernails when things go bump in the night: the creepy, haunted child's toy.
    From malevolent teddy bears and possessed clowns to murderous porcelain dolls rocking menacingly in their chairs, these evil characters have become a multi-million dollar staple adored by fans and studio executives alike.
    The killer toy resonates so profoundly because of the cognitive dissonance involved in the idea of a child's cuddly toy going rogue, according to film experts.
    "There's something very primal about absurdist fears, which is something I posit that most of us never completely grow out of," Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at film industry number-cruncher Boxoffice.com, told AFP.number cruncher Boxoffice.com, told AFP.
    "In a twisted way, that just makes it more fun for adults when it comes to these types of movies."
    "Annabelle: Creation," which has blown away critics and earned a 100 percent rating on reviews website Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its summer release, is the latest example of a genre-spanning more than 100 movies.
    Origin story

    But killer toys have been scaring the bejesus out of theatregoers since Lionel Barrymore played a cross-dressing fugitive selling life-like dolls that were actually shrunken humans in "The Devil-Doll" in 1936.
    "Child's Play" (1988) introduced perhaps the most famous evil doll of them all, Chucky -- a crude, hard-drinking misogynist who went on to appear in four theatrical sequels and two straight-to-DVD movies.
    After a fallow period, Australian filmmaker James Wan resurrected the creepy toy trope to huge success with Billy, the Jigsaw Killer's puppet in "Saw" (2004) and its sequels, as well as in "Dead Silence" (2007).
    His most significant contribution, however, has been Annabelle, a haunted porcelain doll first seen in "The Conjuring" (2013).
    Based on a real, supposedly haunted "Raggedy Ann" doll that can be visited in a museum in Connecticut, Annabelle -- an altogether darker prospect than Chucky -- is regarded by many as the creepiest doll in cinema history.
    "Annabelle," a commercially successful but critically unadmired spin-off, came out in 2014.
    Wan is the producer on the much more impressive origin story "Annabelle: Creation," due out on August 11.
    Boxoffice.com says the movie's impressive latest trailer has increased optimism for a healthy $25-30 million domestic opening weekend.
    "It looks like a film that could help out what's initially been thought of as a very mixed August slate of releases," Robbins told AFP.
    Extra creepy
    Filmed over the summer of 2016 at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, the deliciously bloodcurdling prequel focuses on a dollmaker and his wife, whose daughter died 20 years earlier.
    Murder and mayhem ensue as they decide to open their home to several girls from a shuttered orphanage, only to reawaken the doll maker?s possessed creation.
    "Annabelle just has such a rich history," 36-year-old Swedish director David Sandberg told reporters at a preview screening at the Los Angeles Film Festival this week.
    "She's based on a real doll, and James did such a good job setting her up in 'The Conjuring' that people just associate her with evil."
    Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Australian actor Anthony LaPaglia, who plays the dollmaker, said he chose not to get to know the movie's talented young female cast -- led by Lulu Wilson, 11, and 15-year-old co-star Talitha Bateman -- so that he "could be extra creepy" on set.
    "I always like implied violence as opposed to seeing a sword go through someone's head, and this has a lot of implied violence that is way scarier," he told reporters on the red carpet.
    "For me the best part was going to work and just scaring these kids every day."

    Jason Roy's bizarre dismissal turned the second Twenty20 international's South Africa's way as the Proteas won by just three runs at Taunton on Friday.
    The narrow victory at Somerset's headquarters saw South Africa level the three-match series at 1-1 as bounced back from a nine-wicket defeat by England at Southampton two days earlier to set-up a winner-takes-all clash in Cardiff on Sunday.
    England were on course for an unbeatable 2-0 lead while Roy (67) and Jonny Bairstow (47) shared a second-wicket stand of 110.
    But when Roy was given out obstructing the field -- the first time this had happened in a T20 international -- the innings fell away.
    England's cause was not helped by batting second under increasingly dark skies in a match that started at 1600 GMT despite a lack of floodlights on the ground, although home skipper Eoin Morgan did field first after winning the toss.
    A target of 12 off the last over became four off the last ball after Liam Dawson hit Andile Phehlukwayo for a boundary.
    But he could not repeat the trick and South Africa had a morale-boosting victory to follow their first-round exit at the 50-over Champions Trophy, with this win achieved despite the absence of coach Russell Domingo, who had flown home after his mother was involved in a traffic accident.
    Durban-born Roy, dropped from England's Champions Trophy semi-final loss to Pakistan after a run of low scores, was in superb form.
    He struck nine fours and went to his fifty with a six against spinner Tabraiz Shamsi.
    Bairstow fell first, chipping man-of-the-match Chris Morris (two for 18) to mid-on.
    And then came the turning point.
    Roy veered dramatically off a straight course, with the result he placed himself between the incoming throw from Phehlukwayo, which hit him on the heel, and the stumps.
    South Africa appealed and, after on-field umpires Rob Bailey and Michael Gough referred the decision, Roy was given out by TV umpire Tim Robinson, the former England opening batsman.
    Not controversial

    Roy was clearly aghast but Morgan insisted it had been a "50-50 call".
    "Everyone in the changing room thought it could go either way, so it's not massively controversial," Morgan told reporters.
    "You can see why the umpires gave him out."
    But England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who was given out obstructing the field in a one-day international against Australia at Lord's two years ago when he reacted to a shy at the stumps from bowler, Mitchell Starc by sticking out a glove, was unimpressed.
    "Can't believe that @JasonRoy20 was given out in that manner today," Stokes, rested from this match, tweeted before continuing "embarrassment is the only word that can be associated with the decision."
    South Africa captain AB de Villiers, insisted, however: "We were in the right to ask the question of the umpires.
    "It's not an easy decision and it's never nice to get out like that."
    England still had batting to come after Roy's exit.
    But Somerset 'old boy' Jos Buttler, now at Lancashire, was yorked by Phehlukwayo for 10 and Morgan (six) was well caught in the gloom by de Villiers.
    England, who had been 133 for two at the start of the 16th over, lost four wickets for 34 runs before finishing on 171 for six.
    Earlier, Cape Town-born Tom Curran, a Surrey team-mate of Roy, marked his England debut with an impressive three for 33 in his maximum allowed four overs.
    South Africa's total of 174 for eight, de Villiers' top-scoring with 46, was a significant improvement on Wednesday's 142 for three.
    Curran, the son of the late former Zimbabwe international Kevin Curran, struck with just his second ball in international cricket when Reeza Hendricks bottom-edged a pull into his stumps.
    But fellow opener Jon-Jon Smuts made a brisk 45 with star batsman de Villiers, as he so often does, upping the tempo further with three sixes in his 20-ball innings.
    They included an extraordinary sweep off one knee against left-arm paceman David Willey that flew into the River Tone before he was dismissed next ball.
    Curran had Morris caught off a slower ball and the 22-year-old then bowled Phehlukwayo for a golden duck with an excellent yorker.
    But Farhaan Behardien's 32 proved highly useful.

    EU leaders on Friday poured cold water on a proposal by French President Emmanuel Macron to hand Brussels more powers to control Chinese investments in strategic European industries.
    European leaders discussed the divisive topic on the second day of an EU summit in Brussels, as Europe seeks to lead on free trade in response to the protectionist policies of US President Donald Trump.
    The election of the "America First" tycoon has sown confusion in Europe, with pro-free trade leaders urging that the EU take the lead and sign new trade deals with Japan, Mexico and South America.
    But the reformist Macron, France's freshly elected president, wanted to put a special focus on the wave of blockbuster investments by China in Europe that has spooked some member states, including Germany.
    "Fairer trade is preferable than the law of the jungle," said Macron after the summit in a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
    Macron blames Europe for forgetting EU citizens who are worried about globalisation, so helping stoke the populist sentiment that brought on Brexit.
    But Macron's idea on investments was significantly watered down after facing opposition from Spain, Greece and Portugal, all unwilling to thwart Beijing investments in their economies.
    "There was clearly a push by Macron and resistance by others," an EU source said after the summit talks dragged on over the issue.
    "Countries like Portugal, Greece and Spain are eager to take Chinese money to get their heads out of the water," the source said.
    Other countries were wary of offending powerful China, or of giving Brussels fresh powers over national economic policy.
    As a gesture to Macron, EU governments had agreed to include the idea in the summit conclusions, with leaders eager to reward his solid defeat of far-right Marine Le Pen in elections last month.
    "I personally want a Europe that is open but that isn't handed away on a plate," EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said in support of Macron.
    But in the summit conclusions, leaders stopped well short of an EU-wide policy of screening strategic investments from third countries, agreeing only to "analyse" them.
    At the same time, this would be done while "fully respecting member states' competences."
    Anti-dumping defences

    The summit was less divided on finding ways to set up stronger anti-dumping defences against China and other countries.
    Beijing has faced global condemnation for flooding the world with super cheap steel, solar panels and other products, leaving international rivals on their knees.
    EU leaders also urged EU institutions to swiftly implement anti-dumping measures currently under negotiation in Brussels.
    In response to the developments, the Chinse foreign ministry said it would continue to "encourage Chinese companies to invest in the EU" and "request them to abide by local laws and regulations."
    "We also hope the EU can offer a sound, fair and impartial environment for Chinese companies willing to invest and have their business there," said Geng Shuang, spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    As one of the world's largest entertainment companies, Disney is used to adoring fans but one man has topped them all, visiting its California theme park 2,000 days in a row.
    Jeff Reitz marked the milestone on Thursday, using his Disneyland Resort annual pass which had enabled his trek to the park on a daily basis since January 1, 2012.
    "What we mostly know about him is that he loves Disneyland," said John McClintock, a spokesman for the theme park.
    "When I asked him what he likes about the park, he said he likes all the shows and all the attractions but he did mention that he really likes to listen to the music in the park," he added. "I guess he finds it relaxing."
    McClintock said Disney has yet to come across someone as enamored with the park as Reitz, an Air Force veteran in his 40s who usually shows up after work and spends a few hours.
    "His girlfriend frequently comes with him but not every day," he said. "That would be true love, wouldn't it?"

    Special intelligence based and search operations have been launched across the country and security has been tightened, said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
    The army?s media wing added the operations have been launched in coordination with intelligence and law enforcement agencies.




    The announcement by the Army comes after the country was rocked by multiple terror attacks on Friday which claimed at least 36 lives.




    The ISPR quoted the army chief as saying that the ?enemy was trying to mar the festive mood of the nation through such cowardly acts?.
    Security forces launched a nationwide military operation 'Radd-ul-Fasaad' earlier in February, which includes broad-spectrum security and counter-terrorism operations in Punjab, and continuation of ongoing operations across the country.
    The operation includes a countrywide deweaponisation drive and explosive control as additional cardinals of the effort.
    The hallmark of this operation is the pursuance of the National Action Plan (NAP).
