At least eight injured in Karachi factory blaze

Factory building collapses after sudden fire in Karachi on August 7, 2025. — reporter

KARACHI: At least eight people were injured after a fire erupted at a factory in the Karachi Export Processing Zone (KEPZ), Landhi, causing the building to collapse, officials confirmed on Thursday.

The officials said factory building collapsed due to the blaze with rescue efforts underway.

The fire, which broke out at a garment factory, has been burning for over four hours, despite the efforts of fire brigade officials to extinguish it. More fire tenders were called in to extinguish the fire, according to fire brigade officials.

Currently, 12 fire tenders and two snorkels were deployed to tackle the blaze. The officials said that workers in the basement of the affected factory had been evacuated.

In order to avoid any untoward incident, buildings adjacent to the fire-hit factory were also evacuated, they added.

Meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah took notice of the incident and directed the fire brigade and rescue officials to take immediate steps to extinguish the blaze.

“Protection of human life should be given top priority,” he added.

The chief minister ordered the Karachi commissioner to launch an inquiry into the incident. He said that the factory owners and workers should be fully supported.

He said that a large number of workers were present in the factory when the fire broke out.

Rescue-1122 Chief Operating Officer Dr Abid Jilal claimed that there were 1,200 to 1,500 people in the factory when the fire broke out.

Chief Fire Officer, Muhammad Humayun said that the fire erupted on the first floor of the factory, which engulfed four other factories too. He maintained that second-hand clothes were recycled in the factory, adding that chemicals were also present there, which increased the intensity of the fire.

The cause of the fire was yet to be known, he added.

The fire officer said that there is no information about the presence of anyone in the factory, adding that it may take three to four days to remove the debris of the building.

“Forms were sent to the factories for a survey, but they have not been returned to us yet,” he added.

Fire incidents are common in the port city, largely due to a lack of proper fire safety measures in buildings.

In June, at least five firefighters were injured while trying to extinguish the raging fire which broke out at a factory in Karachi’s Landhi Export Processing Zone.

IBA Sukkur to conduct MDCAT in Sindh

Listen to article

SINDH:

The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) Sukkur will now conduct the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), replacing individual universities in a major shift in the medical and dental college admission process.

The decision was taken during a Sindh Cabinet meeting on Thursday, which also discussed implementing a unified admission policy across all medical and dental colleges in the province.

Last year, MDCAT retake exam was successfully conducted across Sindh as per the directives of the Sindh High Court by IBA Sukkur.

A total of 38,684 candidates participated in the retake exam held simultaneously in six cities: Karachi, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Shaheed Benazirabad, Larkana, and Sukkur. Security and logistical support were provided by provincial and district authorities, along with agencies such as FIA and Intelligence Bureau (IB). IBA Sukkur ensured that foolproof arrangements were in place for the smooth conduct of the exam.

Read: ‘DUHS controller exams involved in MDCAT paper leak’

According to a spokesperson for the Sindh chief minister, the new policy will apply equally to both public and private sector institutions, with the provincial Health Department continuing to regulate admissions.

At present, the public sector offers 2,550 MBBS and 500 BDS seats, while the private sector has 1,441 MBBS and 2,025 dental seats.

Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said the change follows irregularities in the previous MDCAT. He emphasized that transparency and merit in the admission policy are the government’s top priorities.

Young Guns thrilled with experience gained at Bok camp

Bathobele Hlekani, Cheswill Jooste, and Haashim Pead were invited to train with the senior team for the last two weeks in line with Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus’ plans to continue building squad depth and nurturing the young talent for the future, and both the coach and players were pleased with what they gained from the experience.

“It was fantastic to have Bathobele, Cheswill, and Haashim with us, and it was impressive to see their enthusiasm and the way they grabbed the opportunity with both hands on and off the field,” said Erasmus.

“We were very pleased with the way they slotted into the training sessions and used the time to interact with the Springbok players and learn from them, even though we made it clear that there was no pressure on them to grasp all our structures and systems. It was rather an opportunity for them to experience how we operate in the team and to expose them to what is required to perform at this level, and they certainly embraced the opportunity.

“It was good to see how they took the time to understand our structures, and how they used this chance to engage with the players on a one-on-one basis.”

Erasmus added: “They all have bright futures, and we hope the experience they gained, and the lessons learned will set them in good stead, as they look to further develop their careers and strive to reach this level in the coming years.”

Cheswill Jooste.

Reflecting on the occasion, the three Junior Boks said it inspired them immensely to keep giving their best and that it motivated them even more to make the step-up to this level.

“The past two weeks with the Boks have been incredible,” said Jooste, who still played for the SA U18s last year.

“As a Junior Bok, it was a privilege to be among the best, and although it was tough, I learned a lot. I walk away with new insights, more confidence and an even greater hunger to grow.

“It was particularly memorable for me to be inspired and motivated by the players I look up to and who are already where I’d like to be. They didn’t only share their knowledge, but also their energy and spirit of unity.

“I’d like to thank everyone who made this experience possible. I am truly grateful for every lesson, every tip, and every piece of encouragement. This is just the beginning.”

Haashim Pead.

Pead, who was in his second season with the Junior Boks this year, echoed these sentiments and said the experience has been “amazing”.

“I’ve learnt valuable lessons, and the experience I gained will truly go a long way,” said Pead, who was second on the list of top try scorers at the World Rugby U20 Championship.

“Thanks to the coaches and players. I believe I have grown in the last two weeks, and with these high standards, it definitely motivated me to give my absolute best so that I can reach the level they are at.

“I’m truly grateful for this opportunity and I hope that there many more of these to come in the future. It made me realise that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I’ll certainly take all the lessons and apply it to my game, and hopefully I’ll keep growing and become a better rugby player and human being.”

Hlekani, who also played for the Junior Boks last year, cherished every moment of the camp, and thanked the Springboks for the opportunity.

Batho Hlekani.

“It was very special, and I learned a lot from the forwards as well as the coaching staff,” said Hlekani.

“The last two weeks have allowed me to improve the techniques I was lacking in, and the intensity of the training sessions were very high, which was great for us.

“I’ll definitely take what I learned and use it to improve my game, and hopefully we’ll get another opportunity like this in future. I’m going to keep pushing, stay hungry, and hopefully one day I’ll be part of this squad.”

The Springboks returned home on Thursday afternoon to spend time with their families, and will reassemble in Johannesburg on Sunday, where their focus will squarely be on trying to begin their Castle Lager Rugby Championship campaign on a strong note against Australia in the hope of defending the title they won last season for the first time since 2019.

The Tests against Australia, in Johannesburg on 16 August and in Cape Town on 23 August, will be followed by back-to-back matches against New Zealand in Auckland and Wellington (on 6 and 13 September respectively), before wrapping up their campaign with Tests against Argentina in Durban and London (on 27 September and 4 October). Tickets for the local Tests are available from Ticketmaster.

Pilvi Kalhama assumes role as Director – Announcements

Pilvi Kalhama has assumed the role of Director of one of the most ambitious cultural projects in Finland’s recent history: the opening of the new Museum of Architecture and Design. The museum will open in a new building in Helsinki’s South Harbour, scheduled for completion in 2030.

“In our search for a director of the new Museum of Architecture and Design, we sought a visionary leader with a bold and inclusive approach to museum-making,” said Kaarina Gould, CEO of the Foundation for the Finnish Museum of Architecture and Design and Chair of the AD Museum. “Pilvi Kalhama impressed us with her curatorial depth, cross-disciplinary approach, commitment to international dialogue and leadership in institution-building.”

Reflecting on starting her new role this month, Kalhama stated:

“It has been a privilege to step into this long-anticipated role. The new museum will rise to meet global expectations not only in content and design but in its civic mission. I would like to see the future museum as an essential actor in the Nordic cultural landscape—responding to the pressing social, ecological and democratic issues of our time through the lens of architecture and design. Design and architecture have always reflected the values of our society. Now more than ever, we need a museum that can elevate these fields as tools for justice, empathy and transformation. I look forward to building a working culture that is agile and driven by curiosity.”

With a background in museum leadership, cultural research and institutional strategy, Kalhama brings a strong track record in building museum identity that challenges traditional boundaries between disciplines. In her earlier conceptual and curatorial work and during her directorship at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art (2012—2025), one of the leading art museums in the Nordic–Baltic region, Kalhama led a program celebrated for its conceptual boldness and international recognition. Under her leadership, EMMA’s exhibitions have been exploring hybrid territories between modern and contemporary art as well as design.

“I will now bring my reflective gaze to the new museum project and see that its program should celebrate—but also critically examine—architecture, design and creative culture in a broad sense. As a Nordic actor, we have a great opportunity to respond to the expectations of museum audiences in a unique, attractive and engaging way, even when it comes to the most critical themes,” Kalhama concludes.

In her earlier work at EMMA, Kalhama demonstrated a deep commitment to expanding the scope of art history and recovering marginalised narratives through cross-disciplinary approaches. Recent exhibitions initiated under her leadership include Arte Povera—A New Chapter with 22 international modern and contemporary female artists, a solo exhibition by Sámi artist Outi Pieski, and European touring exhibitions such as Ulla Wiggen–Passage, Carol Rama Retrospective and the Konrad Mägi Retrospective. Kalhama has also brought solo exhibitions by some of the most influential artists of our time to EMMA, including Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen & Dragset, William Kentridge and Pierre Huyghe.

Kalhama’s tenure at EMMA was also marked by transformative institutional development as she spearheaded two space-wise expansions of the museum. In 2017, the museum launched an innovative visible storage concept—one of the first of its kind in the museum field—redefining how audiences engage with collection holdings dedicated to showcasing, storing and studying the heritage of Tapio Wirkkala and Rut Bryk. Several years later, her vision led to the creation of a new museum department dedicated to postwar Finnish glass and ceramic design, titled Collection Kakkonen, the largest collection display of its kind in the world. At the same time, the museum has been seeing record high numbers of visitors.

A Licentiate of Philosophy in Art History and a doctoral researcher at the University of Turku in History, Culture and Art Studies, Kalhama is completing her dissertation on evolving inclusivity and democracy in the museum context. She previously founded and directed Helsinki Contemporary, a Nordic gallery initiative that continues to operate in Helsinki. Kalhama holds several positions of trust, including roles with PUBLICS Centre for Curatorial Thinking, Archinfo—Information Centre for Finnish Architecture, the Aboa Vetus Ars Nova Foundation and the Finnish National Theatre.

The Museum of Architecture and Design in Helsinki, Finland is owned by the Foundation for the Finnish Museum of Architecture and Design and operates as the national museum in its fields. The international architecture competition for the new building is currently in its final phase, with the winning design to be announced by a jury on 11th September 2025. Until the opening of the new building in 2030, the museum will continue to operate from its historic premises in central Helsinki. Exhibitions in Fall 2025 will highlight the winning proposal and other finalists from the design competition for the new museum building and an exploration into Tove Jansson’s—the creator of the Moomins—relationship with architecture and design.

Fabregas’s Como and Pellegrini’s Betis involved in punch-up | Football News

Both sides have a player sent off as first half between Real Betis and Como descends into violence.

A preseason friendly between Spain’s Real Betis and Italian club Como got extra heated, with players exchanging punches and causing a mass scuffle.

The Italian club are managed by former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, while Betis are managed by former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

There were several rough exchanges in the first half of the match at La Linea de la Concepcion in southern Spain on Wednesday, and Betis player Pablo Fornals and Como midfielder Maximo Perrone then got into an altercation entering halftime.

They had a few brief words to each other and then started exchanging blows.

Players from both teams rushed in and the altercation escalated. The benches were cleared, with substitutes and staff members entering the field, some trying to break up the fighting.

It took several moments before order was re-established. The referee sent off a player from each team.

“We are competitive and both teams want to win, but in the end there’s a line you can’t cross in these matches,” Betis midfielder Sergi Altimira said. “They were making many fouls, stopping the match all the time.”

Como, which will face Barcelona in another preseason match on Sunday, won the friendly 3-2.

Former Spain international Fabregas played for Arsenal between 2003 and 2011, while Pellegrini was Pep Guardiola’s predecessor at Man City.

‘I love scoring goals’: meet Shekiera Martinez, the striker taking WSL by storm | West Ham United Women

Shekiera Martinez’s family were sceptical when she told them, aged eight, she wanted to start playing football. She was one of four girls and a boy in her family, growing up in Germany, and one of her older sisters had by then given up the game. “I wanted to start but when I told my mum, she firstly said: ‘No, you won’t play for long, you’ll be like your sister,’” Martinez recalls. “And so then I gave her a promise that I would play for longer than my sister.”

Sixteen years later, the West Ham striker has certainly kept that promise. After progressing through her local boys’ team, playing for Eintracht Frankfurt for six years and thriving at youth level for Germany, Martinez most recently collected the Women’s Super League’s Rising Star award for the 2024-25 season after a breakthrough second half of the campaign in which she scored 10 times in 12 WSL games.

No wonder the 24-year-old has a spring in her step as she sits down for an exclusive interview on a smart, black office chair at West Ham’s Chadwell Heath training ground, having ended last season with back-to-back WSL player-of-the-month awards for March and April. Our conversation is happening in the middle of West Ham’s pre-season work – “I’m sore every day!” Martinez jokes, before adding that the intensity has felt really good – but how did the league’s most in-form player at the end of last term spend her summer break?

“I slept really long every day,” she says. “I think I needed it, just spending time with my family, walking the dog and doing nothing after the season because also with the change to [move to] England, it was really nice to do nothing and just chill.”

Last season was life-changing for Martinez off the pitch as well as on it. She became a West Ham player in July 2024, signing a three-year contract, but could not immediately play in England. Martinez became eligible only once she had accumulated enough points for a visa under the governing body endorsement system used by the Football Association for international players, and assembled the points on loan in Germany’s top division with Freiburg. In January, West Ham recalled her.

“It was really quick,” she says. “I couldn’t even say goodbye to everyone [at Freiburg] because I thought: ‘I go back there.’ I [had] always said my dream was to play in England one time. It came quicker than I thought. I was ready for the change and I was really excited.”

To say that recall worked out for West Ham and Martinez would be an understatement; she scored nearly a third of West Ham’s goals for the season despite joining midway through the campaign, and ended up as the division’s joint third-top scorer. She was one of only four players – along with Alessia Russo, Khadija Shaw and Elisabeth Terland – to reach double figures but played the fewest WSL games of the top 16 scorers.

“Yes, I was [surprised], to be honest,” she says. “I really had a lot of respect [for the WSL] – I didn’t know it would go so well. The physicality is much harder here than in Germany, I think, [but] we have gym every day so I also got stronger.”

Martinez earned a reputation for being a clinical goalscorer seven years ago, when she was the top scorer at the 2018 Under-17 European Championship with nine goals to help Germany finish as runners-up.

“I’m a 9, I love scoring goals,” she says. “I’m not really thinking when I’m playing football; it just happens on instinct. If it happens, I’m happy, if not it’s also OK for me. I really like the situation when I go one-v-one against the goalkeeper. Sometimes it’s really hard because you have so much time to think.”

Her love for the thrill of scoring goals is clear but she is not a diehard football-watching fan. She loves watching basketball – the professional player Leon Fertig is a good friend – on television but not football: “I don’t watch any football, unless my friends are playing, so I support my friends when they are playing. I just like playing more than watching.”

Another pleasure is walking her dog, an eight-month-old toy poodle named Ruby, who was born just as Martinez moved to the WSL. “I don’t go into the city often so I’m just with my dog in the parks, enjoying my quieter time,” she says. “We’re living behind a park so we thought: ‘It’s the right time to get a dog.’ I love it. She’s my baby.”

If Martinez continues scoring at her recent rate, she will surely be unlikely to have the summer of 2027 at home with Ruby, because Germany may well come calling for the World Cup in Brazil, but she is not putting any pressure on herself for a senior call-up: “It would be a dream of course but I don’t want to rush myself. I can’t change anything, I’ll just try to play my best and if they like it, they like it”

In the much more immediate term, the WSL season looms on the horizon, with West Ham beginning their campaign away to Tottenham Hotspur on 7 September. After a ninth-placed finish the plan is to “climb up the table” and Martinez says: “If we play like the last half of last season, we can be really good.”
