LONDON: Britain’s most widely circulated tabloid newspaper, The Sun, has published a story based on an exclusive revelation by The News in a report on November 6, 2020, which states Pakistan has refused a deportation flight carrying about three dozen illegal immigrants from London to Islamabad in the center. diplomatic infighting. over former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The News published the report after reliable intelligence sources from both sides confessed to this correspondent in early November that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s accountability adviser, Shahzad Akbar canceled a flight to London-Islamabad to demand the deportation of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif from London to Pakistan. . .
The News initially reported: “The flight to Islamabad on October 20 was not granted last minute clearance by the Pakistani government and British authorities had no choice but to take the deportees back to their detention centers.”
The Sun published on 15 December 2020 a report citing Home Office sources, confirming two findings by The News in November: That there were diplomatic tensions in relations between the two countries after “duty-bound” demands from the UK Interior Minister and the cancellation . flights from London to Pakistan.
The Sun, on Tuesday, confirmed both facts originally published by The News – widely circulated on social media by the PTI government and PML-N circles – that the flight cancellations cost Britain some £ 300,000.
The Sun said Pakistan canceled flights “at the last minute, amid burning tensions, withdrawing flight permits to land. The humiliation means illegal immigrants are returned to detention centers around Britain”.
The Sun wrote: “Pakistan is sending out a warning that it does not need to accept illegal immigrants from London if Britain does not return its former PM whom many believe is living in Britain illegally.”
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s adviser, Mirza Shahzad Akbar, wrote to Priti Patel on 5 October warning that Mr. Sharif is “responsible for the looting of the country and I trust that you will support our efforts to hold those responsible for corruption accountable”.
Nawaz Sharif’s eldest son, Hussain Nawaz, told The Sun: “Sharif’s second regime was ended by military rule and he was exiled despite receiving two life sentences on charges of hijacking a plane from the prime minister’s office. He later returned, cleared his case and was elected Prime Minister. Minister for the third time. He is currently being treated in Britain in ill health but has faced repeated onslaught from the Pakistani Government. “
At the time of publishing the original story on The News, Shahzad Akbar had confirmed that the flight was not granted permission but emphatically denied that the flight cancellation was related to the Nawaz Sharif issue.
Akbar has claimed that flights carrying deportees will be allowed “upon confirmation of documentation and following protocols”. He added: “We are seeking the deportation of Mian Nawaz Sharif in principle but it is not related to other bilateral issues between the two countries.”
Another minister from Imran Khan’s cabinet said the flight from London to Islamabad was not granted a permit because it “did not comply with Standard Operating Procedures”. A third government-related source claimed the flight was stopped because the British government did not test the deportees for COVID-19.

The chain, part of Restaurant Brands International QSR, + 1.11%,
appears to be one of the first large fast food restaurants to implement this sustainable practice at McDonalds USA MCD, + 0.42%
has plans for reusable coffee cups in the UK
Burger King will launch a pilot program next year with TerraCycle’s waste-free circular packaging service, Loop, whose products can be cleaned and reused hygienically as long as the integrity of the packaging is maintained.
Initial test cities are New York, Portland, Ore., And Tokyo, with more cities expected to be added in the coming months. Loop officials have said previously that consumers should consider their project reminiscent of how households used to get milk – in reusable bottles.
“During COVID, we have seen the environmental impact of increasing takeaway orders, which makes this Burger King initiative even more important,” said Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle and Loop.
The announcement is the latest feature in Burger King’s pledge to get 100% of guest packaging from renewable, recycled or certified sources by 2025.
Take-away or diners who choose reusable packaging will be charged a deposit at the time of purchase, and when the packaging is returned, they receive a refund.
“As part of the Restaurant Brands for Good plan, we are investing in developing sustainable packaging solutions that will help propel the food service industry forward in reducing packaging waste,” said Matthew Banton, Burger King Global’s head of innovation and sustainability. “The Loop system gives us confidence in a reusable solution that meets our high safety standards, while offering our guests comfort while on the move.”
In July, the fast food chain announced a version of Whopper made from lemongrass-fed beef, which it said would reduce methane emissions. The beef industry has become a major target for environmentalists.
Another brand restaurant property, Tim Hortons, said this week end the practice of double cupping hot drinks, a move it says will remove hundreds of millions of cups from landfills every year. Coffee and breakfast retailers will introduce paper napkins early next year that use 25% less material and are made from 100% recycled fiber, which is expected to save 900 metric tons of paper a year. And the chain is phasing out plastic straws from its 4,000 restaurants across Canada.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many countries to close their borders, disrupt the food distribution system and cause an imbalance in supply and demand worldwide. Meanwhile, the risks posed by large public meetings make it impossible for those in the food, food packaging and import / export sectors to travel abroad or meet face-to-face.
With the aim of overcoming these challenges, Agro Food Tech Europe will provide a safe and secure digital space for industry representatives where they can meet, exchange ideas, and explore new commercial opportunities.
The first and only online exhibition of its kind
The “new normal” caused by the COVID-19 crisis, has forced experts and industry representatives to run their businesses online. In line with this growing global trend, Agro Food Tech Europe – the first and only digital exhibition devoted to food, food packaging, and technology – will be held online from July 20 to 26.
Attracting exhibitors and visitors from all over the world and possessing sophisticated infrastructure, this seven-day event will enable participants to hold virtual meetings anytime, day or night. By using video conferencing and live chat platforms, exhibitors can schedule and hold meetings, both with visitors and with other exhibitors.
‘Very effective business platform’
“When international travel is very limited and health problems prevent physical visits to other countries, virtual exhibitions have emerged as a very effective business platform,” Barış Salur, director of the online project for agro-food tech technology, said.
According to Salur, food, food packaging, and agro-tech businesses from around the world are expected to participate in Agro Food Tech Europe, where European food producers – along with them in neighboring countries – have shown great interest.
“We believe that the virtual exhibition, which also has significant advantages in terms of transportation and accommodation costs, will continue to provide a viable alternative to their physical counterparts,” he said.
