NoneISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and head of Awam Pakistan Party (APP), Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday called for dialogue between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and the Army Chief to resolve the pressing challenges faced by the country, emphasising the country’s development hinges on respecting public opinion. “The country will progress only when the people’s voice is honoured,” Abbasi asserted while talking to the media in Kallar Syedan here on Sunday. He criticised the election process, saying the results displayed on Form 47 have turned elections into a mockery. Abbasi’s remarks come amid ongoing debates over political reconciliation and governance in Pakistan. A day earlier, Advisor to Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah suggested that if heads of the three major political parties — the PTI, PML-N and PPP — sit around the table for negotiations, 70-year-long crises being faced by the country would be resolved in a span of mere 70 days. “The multifarious crises that have surrounded the country for 70 years would stand resolved if negotiation committee comprising former premiers – Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan and President Asif Ali Zardari sit together,” Rana Sanaullah emphasized while addressing a ceremony in Lahore on Saturday. The APP chief expressed concern over the country’s governance, stating, “A nation cannot be run in the manner Pakistan is being managed.” He also criticised the manipulation of the stock market, saying, “Artificially raising the stock index benefits no one, even if it soars to the skies.” Highlighting the influence of the military in Pakistan’s political landscape, Abbasi stated, “The Army Chief holds the real power. The challenges facing the country will only be resolved when Imran Khan and the Army Chief sit together to find solutions.” “Nawaz Sharif’s name should be there [...] Imran Khan’s name should be there and Asif Ali Zardari’s name should be there,” Rana Sanaullah had said. “We, the politicians, should sit together. The problem is that before we sit down, it is very important that the mistakes that were made by the people who are sitting down are accepted.” He said that two documents — the 1973 Constitution and the charter of democracy — were important political documents. In the charter of democracy, both leaders — PPP’s Benazir Bhutto and PML-N’s Nawaz Sharif — accepted their mistakes and then the conversation moved forward, PM’s aide Sanaullah said. He said that the PTI claims that its mandate was stolen and it should be returned. “Only yesterday, you (PTI) had [the mandate]. Why did you not speak then?” the PML-N leader said. “We do want to make them [negotiations] successful with complete sincerity,” Sanaullah said, adding that if “today’s grievances are to be accepted then yesterday’s should also be accepted”.

NoneKyle Busch had a tough time in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series. For the first time in nearly two decades, h e failed to win a race as his historic streak came to an end. It was far from the season he expected, and it raised question marks over the 39-year-olds future. The fact he has already dipped his toe into some broadcasting work has done little to ease those fears, and he’s hinted he could step into that role eventually. "Maybe. I haven't really given it a whole lot of thought," Busch told The Athletic in October. "I'm just dipping my toe into this and giving it a shot and seeing what the networks think, what the producers think and everybody behind the scenes to see if I have a voice and an opinion later on down the road. Kyle Busch 'curse' continues even after end of disastrous NASCAR season 4 NASCAR drivers with point to prove in 2025 including Hendrick Motorsports star "I see Harvick doing it, I've seen Darrell Waltrip do it and have seen plenty of other ex-drivers go into that role. "One really good thing about that is how much you can talk up the drivers and how hard it is and about the things you love. "I've made a great living here, so you'd love to be able to give back, where some of the other guys just disappear off into the sunset and you never really hear from them again.” However, despite one eye on the future, it seems that Busch is still intent on competing, at least for the time being. He will be back with Richard Childress Racing in the No.8 car next season, and he’s got plenty of reason to continue racing. While his win streak came to an end, his season improved and he had some awful luck along the way. He lost out in two of the closest finishes in NASCAR history - at Atlanta in February then again at Daytona in August. DON'T MISS: NASCAR's own 'D.B. Cooper' disappeared without a trace after race Hamlin and Earnhardt Jr. make feelings clear on controversial NASCAR changes Chase Elliott unveils new 2025 NASCAR paint scheme after Hooters debacle On both occasions, Busch was less than 0.1 seconds from victory. He had another runner-up finish at Darlington a week after his Daytona heartbreak, and while the streak is over, he ended the season very much in the mix again. Those performances later in the regular season give him plenty of reason to believe he can get back in victory lane in 2025. Looking back at the end of a disappointing season, Busch wrote on social media: "Arguably the toughest year of my career. "Full of trials, n heartbreaks. I know my RCR guys r gonna get after it this winter n we’ll come back stronger nxt season. Grateful for all of our partners, helping us do what we love. Thx Rowdy Nation for sticking w me. Y’all r the best."COLLEGE PARK — Maryland football’s 29-13 setback to Iowa on Saturday afternoon was an exercise in polar opposites. The Terps (4-7, 1-7 Big Ten) entered the game as one of the lowest ranked rushing offenses in the conference, while the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) relied on their running backs more than any other team. That dichotomy was certainly on display at SECU Stadium. With sophomore quarterback Jackson Stratton making his first start of the season, Iowa handed the ball off 58 times, gaining 268 yards and two touchdowns. Of Maryland’s 57 overall snaps, the offense rushed the ball 26 times for 98 yards and zero scores. The Hawkeyes’ success on the ground contributed to them dominating the clock as they ran up a 37:41-22:19 advantage in time of possession. Terps coach Mike Locksley acknowledged the benefits Iowa accumulated from its rushing attack and clock management. “It gives them confidence to sustain drives,” he said. “When you look at what they were able to do and get executed, when you’re dealing with a quarterback that’s not healthy, it’s what you would want to get accomplished, and we weren’t able to do it in the run game. To take a little pressure off of our quarterback, you need to be able to cover people up, and in the last few weeks, I saw us do that. Today, when you talk about the run game, it takes just one breakdown, and now it looks like it’s not working. We had a few of those one-man breakdowns that didn’t allow us to get into a rhythm on the offensive side to help our defense. That’s what we would have needed to do.” Here are three observations from Saturday’s loss. The redshirt junior quarterback had one of his poorest outings of the season (5 of 8 passing for 26 yards and zero touchdowns) before getting knocked out of the game after a hard tackle in the third quarter. But he set the tone for his teammates. Edwards injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand a couple weeks ago, according to Locksley, and wore a glove to protect the thumb. The pain was enough to prevent him from throwing in practice until Thursday. “We just kind of tried to rest the thumb to give him a chance,” Locksley said. “He gives us the best chance to win as our leader on the offensive side of the ball. But obviously [with] him not being able to go, we tried to add the run game element and tried to focus and force the run game like we did a week ago.” Edwards’ determination did not go unnoticed by senior wide receiver Tai Felton. “All week, he was fighting just to play in the game with the thumb,” said Felton, who caught six passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns. “His thumb’s been hurting all week. Like I tell you guys all the time, he comes in ready to work — hurt or not. He was still in the facility morning up to sun down all week. So he obviously was putting in the extra work with recovery and stuff like that, trying to get the thumb right. That guy’s a fighter. I appreciate him so much, and he does a lot for this program in his three or four years he’s been here.” Redshirt sophomore MJ Morris replaced Edwards, went 12 of 23 for 103 yards, and mixed two touchdown passes with two interceptions. But barring further complications to the thumb or the physical shot he absorbed when his helmet collided with Iowa junior safety Xavier Nwankpa’s with 7:27 left in the third quarter, expect to see Edwards suit up for Saturday’s regular-season finale at No. 4 Penn State (10-1, 7-1). Maryland’s 13-0 deficit at halftime could be viewed as a small victory for the defense. In the first half, Iowa amassed 200 total yards, 139 rushing yards, and 15 first downs while controlling the clock for 22:52. But the offense was forced to settle for a field goal in the red zone and got two wind-aided field goals of 54 and 50 yards from junior kicker Drew Stevens. And after Morris connected with Felton for a 12-yard touchdown with 11:05 left in regulation, the Terps trailed just 19-13 and were probably entertaining thoughts of a comeback similar to the one they accomplished in a 29-28 win against USC on Oct. 19. But on the Hawkeye’ fourth snap of their next series, redshirt freshman running back Kamari Moulton took a handoff around the left end and raced 68 yards to the end zone to help the team reclaim a two-score advantage. That pretty much ended the notion of a Maryland rally. “It was frustrating, but it was just one of those ‘Damn’ moments,” said senior outside linebacker Donnell Brown, who ranked second on the team with nine tackles, including one for loss. “We should’ve had him, but things happen. My thing is, they get a long run, cool, but now we’ve got to bounce back and keep bouncing, and I feel like we did.” After Moulton’s score, Iowa’s defense intercepted Morris twice to essentially seal the outcome, and Locksley was left contemplating how inconsistently the Terps have played this fall. “We’re within six, and that long run kind of took the wind out of our sails,” he said. “It goes back to complementary football on offense, defense and special teams.” Before the game, Maryland honored 22 seniors. That might have been the high point of the day for that group. At least for the present time, the seniors will have to wear the ignominy of the team mired in a four-game losing streak and a stretch of six setbacks in the past seven contests. That’s bound to depress anyone. “They are down, and it’s all I can do to not be like them because I know the work that they have put in,” Locksley said. “You look all across the country, and you see teams that are struggling like we’re struggling right now, and you see people quitting and not playing and opting out. I’m not saying that won’t happen, hasn’t happened, but I can just tell you that I don’t see that with this group. These guys are fighters. They embody that fighter’s spirit, and hopefully, that’s something that they’re taking from me because I’m even more motivated to figure this out for our fanbase, for our program.” The seniors should be celebrated for their roles in helping the Terps finish above .500 in each of the previous three years and win three straight bowl games for the first time in school history. That group will be sorely needed if the team harbors any hope of upsetting the Nittany Lions and ending the season on a high note. “We’ve had a good run here, and this gives us an opportunity to hit reset, and we want to do it pretty quickly,” Locksley said. “Next week is part of that reset. So we’ll finish it the right way. One of the pillars of our program is how we finish. We want to headbutt it, and we’ll go up to State College and headbutt the finish.” Have a news tip?

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani police arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in the capital to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison, a security officer said Sunday. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year and has over 150 criminal cases against him. But he remains popular and his political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf or PTI, says the cases are politically motivated. Shahid Nawaz, a security officer in eastern Punjab province, said police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off Islamabad with shipping containers and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with PTI strongholds in Punjab and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Tit-for-tat teargas shelling between the police and the PTI was reported on the highway bordering Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Earlier on Sunday, Pakistan suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” The government and Interior Ministry posted the announcement on the social media platform X, which is banned in Pakistan. They did not specify the areas, nor did they say how long the suspension would be in place. “Internet and mobile services will continue to operate as usual in the rest of the country,” the posts said. Meanwhile, telecom company Nayatel sent out emails offering customers “a reliable landline service” as a workaround in the areas suffering suspended cellphone service. Khan's supporters rely heavily on social media to demand his release and use messaging platforms like WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. PTI spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram said Khan's wife Bushra Bibi was traveling to Islamabad in a convoy led by the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur. “She cannot leave the party workers on their own,” said Akram. There was a festive mood in Peshawar, with PTI members dancing, drumming and holding up pictures of Khan as cars set off for Islamabad. The government is imposing social media platform bans and targeting VPN services , according to internet advocacy group Netblocks. On Sunday, the group said live metrics showed problems with WhatsApp that were affecting media sharing on the app. The U.S. Embassy issued a security alert for Americans in the capital, encouraging them to avoid large gatherings and warning that even “peaceful gatherings can turn violent.” Last month, authorities suspended the cellphone service in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to thwart a pro-Khan rally. The shutdown disrupted communications and affected everyday services such as banking, ride-hailing and food delivery. The latest crackdown comes on the eve of a visit by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko . Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said authorities have sealed off Islamabad's Red Zone, which houses key government buildings and is the destination for Khan's supporters. “Anyone reaching it will be arrested,” Naqvi told a press conference. He said the security measures were in place to protect residents and property, blaming the PTI for inconveniencing people and businesses. He added that protesters were planning to take the same route as the Belarusian delegation, but that the government had headed off this scenario. Naqvi denied cellphone services were suspended and said only mobile data was affected. Associated Press writers Riaz Khan in Peshawar and Asim Tanveer in Multan contributed to this report.NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN UNITED STATES CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pieridae Energy Limited (“Pieridae” or the “Company”) (TSX: PEA) is pleased to provide 2025 guidance including scope of the 2025 capital program along with production and Net Operating Income 1 (“NOI”) projections. Pieridae’s specific priorities for 2025 are: Sustain a safe and regulatory compliant business Minimize facility outages to maximize sales and processing revenue. Further grow the third-party gathering and processing business at our operated facilities. Meaningfully reduce operating expenses to improve corporate netback. Deliver attractive ROI on value adding optimization projects included in the 2025 capital program. Reduce long term debt to improve financial flexibility. The 2025 production guidance of 23,000 to 25,000 boe/d assumes that approximately 9,400 boe/d of previously announced voluntary production shut-ins in Central AB, Northern AB, and Northeast BC persist throughout 2025. These dry gas, low margin properties produce to third-party facilities and were shut-in during the second and third quarters of 2024 due to low AECO natural gas prices and high processing costs. These shut-ins represent approximately 25% of the Company’s production capability. Material production upside is possible if these properties are reactivated; management’s decision to reactivate production from any of these areas is subject to supportive long-term economics. The shut-in production can be restored within one to two weeks and subsequent well and reservoir performance is not expected to be negatively impacted. Pieridae has hedged 110,000 GJ/d of its 2025 natural gas production at a weighted average fixed price of $3.32/GJ, and 1,679 bbl/d of its 2025 condensate production with a weighted average floor price of CAD$84.41/bbl and a weighted average ceiling price of CAD$92.32/bbl. The Company’s aggregate hedge position for 2025 totals 19,055 boe/d or approximately 80% of the above production guidance range. The unrealized gain on the Company’s hedge portfolio, which extends to mid-2028, is approximately $87 million using the forward strip as of November 30, 2024. Pieridae’s legacy fixed price sulphur contract, which was entered into in 2019, expires on December 31, 2025. Under this contract, the Company receives a net fixed price of approximately $6/tonne for the majority of its sulphur production of approximately 1,400 tonnes per day. Beginning January 1, 2026, the Company will receive market price for all sulphur production, less normal deductions for transportation, handling, and marketing representing a significant potential revenue opportunity. As of November 30, 2024, the spot west coast sulphur price is approximately US$143/tonne, prior to transportation and marketing costs. The $25-$30 million capital budget in 2025 includes approximately $14 million directed towards a high-impact well and facility optimization program funded with the equity raised during Q3 and Q4 2024. These high return, short payout capital projects are expected to increase sales revenue, improve facility efficiency, reduce operating cost and fuel gas consumption, and lower GHG compliance costs. Spending on this program commenced in Q4 2024 and will continue throughout 2025. The remainder of the 2025 capital is focused on routine capital maintenance, field operating technology upgrades, and site closure / decommissioning expenditures in Alberta and BC. Notably, Pieridae has not scheduled a major maintenance turnaround planned at any of the Company’s deep-cut, sour gas processing facilities during 2025 given the successful completion of gas plant turnarounds and other maintenance projects in 2023 and 2024. The next major maintenance turnaround is scheduled for 2026. Due to the current outlook for North American natural gas prices, Pieridae is not planning to resume drilling operations during 2025. Pieridae will only exploit its portfolio of high impact conventional Foothills drilling opportunities once natural gas prices sustainably recover and the Company has achieved its deleveraging target. ABOUT PIERIDAE Pieridae is a Canadian energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The Company is a significant upstream producer and midstream custom processor of natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and sulphur from the Canadian Foothills and adjacent areas in Alberta and in northeast British Columbia. Pieridae’s vision is to provide responsible, affordable natural gas and derived products to meet society’s energy security needs. Pieridae’s common shares trade on the TSX under the symbol “PEA”.

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, processing, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of resources estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals, ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources and the risk factors outlined under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein. The recovery and resources estimate of Pieridae's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will be recovered. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such forward-looking statements, but which may prove to be incorrect. Although Pieridae believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because Pieridae can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified in this document, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which Pieridae operates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of Pieridae to obtain and retain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the ability of the operator of the projects which Pieridae has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of Pieridae to obtain financing on acceptable terms; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas resources through acquisition, development and exploration; the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of Pieridae to secure adequate product transportation; future oil and natural gas prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which Pieridae operates; timing and amount of capital expenditures; future sources of funding; production levels; weather conditions; success of exploration and development activities; access to gathering, processing and pipeline systems; advancing technologies; and the ability of Pieridae to successfully market its oil and natural gas products. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Pieridae's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website (www.sedarplus.ca), and at Pieridae's website (www.pieridaeenergy.com). Although the forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, management cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and Pieridae assumes no obligation to update or review them to reflect new events or circumstances except as required by applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the oil and gas industry and Pieridae's general expectations concerning this industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from reserve reports, market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which Pieridae believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While Pieridae is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, the industry involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors. Additional Reader Advisories Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
