Whether they are in Afghanistan or in Pakhtunkhwa, they are target of this devilish conspiracy. They are targeting our children our future. They want them kept in the dark. They want them to be used as raw materials in their evil foreign policy games. And this is the reason, where there Afghan and Pashtun lives, they target their schools. From Badakhshan to Kunar, from Helmand to Nangarhar, from Khost to South Waziristan, from North Waziristan to Khyber, from Bajaur to Swat, they target their schools. They want to shut the door of knowledge on them. We face a cunning enemy. The enemy is not a daring one. The problem is they use their brain while we use our sentiments. Our policymakers will have to design such security policies, which are impregnable. We will have to use our brain too. We need to outsmart them.

Cuban kids aw ait do o r die cancer drug blo cked by US WASHINGTON: Americans from across the political spectrum are worried about the cost of prescrip- tion drugs for serious diseases, fol- trade ban lowing weeks of news coverage about companies hiking prices for critical medicines. Keeping drugs for cancer, hep- atitis, HIV and other conditions af- fordable is the top health priority for Democrats, Republicans and independents, according to a poll released Wednesday by the non- partisan Kaiser Family Founda- tion. Overall, 77 percent of those surveyed said the issue was their No. 1 health concern, reflecting recent outrage over drug pricing that has spilled over into the pres- idential campaign. Condemnation by patients, doctors and insurers has been mounting for several years, then escalated last month over news that Turing Pharmaceuticals and a handful of other drugmakers have The US embargo on Cuba, which pediatric oncology in Cuba, where been hiking prices of old drugs the UN General Assembly formal- health care is free of charge.

The European Space Agency's ver- sion of a permanent lunar base. Before 2030, Russia plans to land its first cosmonauts on the moon, and Europe wants a piece of the action. They're a little late for the great space race of the 1960s, but the mission is an admi- rable push for the reignited inter- est in manned deep-space travel. On Tuesday, at a space and tech- nology conference in Moscow, the head of Roscosmos Energia Russia's version of NASA an- nounced: "A manned flight to the moon and lunar landing is planned for 2029." And the European Space Agency, which made history last year by landing the first spacecraft on a comet, is teaming up. "We have an ambition to have European as- tronauts on the moon," Bérengère Houdou, head of the lunar-explo- ration group at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Center, recently told BBC News. "There are currently discussion at international level going on for broad cooperation on how to go back to the moon." Russia and Europe have expressed interest in establishing a permanent base on the moon, and they have already begun taking the fist steps toward this goal. Last month, Roscosmos announced that it will send a land- er, Luna 25, to the moon's south pole in 2024. After touchdown, the lander will investigate the lunar surface for future lunar bases. The Luna 25 mission was ini- tially proposed in 1997 and has the mission could finally get the gun, Tech Insider reported. space race of the mid-20th centu- NASA continues its quest for a since suffered a number of delays, jump-start it needs.

ollywood star Priyanka Chopra hopes her leading B role in hit United States tele- vision show Quantico will help pave the way for other Indian ac- tors to make it big in America. The former Miss World is blazing a trail as the first Indian lead in a US TV series, playing FBI agent turned suspected terrorist Alex Parrish in the ABC thriller.

I truly be- lieve that we have a huge pool of talent in India, which spans actors, directors, technicians and the like, and there is a huge window of op- portunity for them to explore out- side India, she added. Chopra has received glowing reviews for her turn as Parrish, who is accused in the drama of masterminding the biggest terror attack on American soil since September 11, 2001. The series jumps between present day, when she is on the run from the law and trying to prove her inno- cence, and her time as a trainee agent at the FBI s academy at Quantico in Virginia.
