For instance, research by the UN shows that women are typically given smaller research grants than their male colleagues, and only 12 per cent of…
The final results of Pakistan’s national election put independents, backed by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in the lead with 93 of 264 seats.

As coalition talks were held and protesters blocked roads in the north of the country, it was not clear who would form a government. The final tally of votes was published by the election commission more than 60 hours…

Decked up in costumes that took them hours of preparation, some cosplayers even arrived from across the world to showcase their art, the…
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, but there is still some basketball to be played before kickoff today. The Sacramento Kings travel to the Oklahoma City Thunder today for a regular season match up of two Western Conference post season hopefuls.

As a matter of fact, the Kings have had the Thunders number the last five times, sweeping them 5-0. It’s a good day for the Thunder to turn that sweep around, as the…

Pakistan’s national election ended with no party winning a majority in parliament, in polls marred by militant violence, political turmoil and questions of transparency. Former prime ministers and bitter rivals Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan both declared victory, adding to the uncertainty as the country faces numerous challenges that need to be addressed quickly, including negotiating a new International Monetary Fund programme to keep a struggling $350 billion economy afloat. Next, a prime ministerial candidate has to show a simple majority of 169 seats in the National Assembly when the house is called in coming days. The Assembly consists of…
