He explained that Reham is currently in London but he refused to comment about the development.

A source close to the PTI chairman, who asked not to be named, said the two were “just not getting along.”

“She wanted to get involved with politics and that is not what Khan wanted at all. She just did not want to sit at home,” he said.

“There were teething problems as well over other issues which were being resolved but this was a major issue — she wanted to get into politics and was not ready to back down.”

Imran Khan, 62, wedded Reham Khan, 41, in January in 2013. She was television anchorman and a British Pakistani journalist.

Reham, divorced mom-of-three, before lived in Britain and was associated with BBC as a weather host.

Imran Khan married in May 1995 to Jemima Goldsmith. Jemima was a British writer and activist. They will have Sulaiman Isa Khan two sons and Qasim Khan. The union ended in divorce.

Reham Khan was not able to comment on the situation but posted an announcement of the divorce on Twitter:

Reham Khan tweeted: 

“We have decided to part ways and file for divorce.”

The latest James Bond film “Spectre” is breaking records in the British box office, Sony Pictures Entertainment said on Wednesday.

The film starring Daniel Craig as secret agent 007 took $9.2 million in its first complete day in what Sony said was the biggest Tuesday ever in movie-going history in Britain. The amount was also bigger than the first-day U.K. gross for the last Bond film, “Skyfall,” in 2012, the studio said in a statement.

“Skyfalll” went to take in $1.1 billion at worldwide box offices, easily recouping its estimated $200 million funding.

“Spectre,” which had its world premiere in London on Monday night, has won good reviews from film critics and is due to open in North America and a lot of the remainder of the world on Nov. 6.

Australians can now access content in just what is a bittersweet innovation for the news publishing business.

The app provides a one-stop store for users to freely view content submitted by news providers plus some of the largest news gatherers on the planet are making a portion of content available.

Is now available to Australian and UK users who update to Apple’s latest iOS variant 9.1, which may be downloaded now.

Apple News possibly conflicts with the paywall model used by news organisations that offer users’ content to paid subscribers, while it provides a convenient way for them to peruse news content.

Therefore users are not likely to get into content that news organisations reserve for subscribers. Just limited content might be shared by some news organisations through the service.

Nonetheless the biggest problem for news suppliers with Apple News is its marketing revenue model. News organisations can make 100 per cent of the revenue from ads they sell, and 70 per cent of these sold by Apple.

While that might not sound unreasonable, it introduces the notion of Apple leveraging advertising revenue in an area where news organisations have. Therefore the media will watch the development attentively.

Can iPad or an iPhone obtain all important news in the program? It depends on simply how much content Apple is shared with by those organisations.

It said news will be curated by humans rather than chosen, at least completely, by algorithms.

They comprise chosen content from The Australian’s Life The Age, The Australian Women’s Weekly section, Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning Herald, Herald Sun, ABC, SBS, and The Guardian.

Apple’s iOS 9.1 isn’t just about bringing Apple News to Australia and the UK.

IS 9.1 additionally addresses a problem for the unwary using Apple’s live photographs feature. Users who snap pictures with all the iPhone would find their live photo video snaps included pictures of the ground simply because they’d put the camera down before the live picture video stopped recording.

Live pictures now uses the iPhone detectors to work out when a user raises or lowers their handset so that live photos is not going to record those movements.

Former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden revealed on Monday the UK government acquired vast amounts of communications data from inside Pakistan by secretly hacking into routers manufactured by the US company, Cisco.

In a interview the whistleblower said cellphones can be hacked into by British secret agents remotely using an easy text message and make audio recordings or shoot pictures without owners knowings.

Snowden asserted that GCHQ used some interception programs called “Smurf Suite”, following the blue cartoon characters, The Smurfs.

“Nosey Smurf” empowered secret agents to switch on a smartphone’s mic even when the phone was off, Snowden asserted.

He said the text message sent by GCHQ to access the cellphone wouldn’t be detected by its own owner.

“When it arrives at your cellphone it is concealed from you. It does not show.

The BBC said the government had declined to remark consistent with common policy on intelligence issues.

Snowden, after leaking files to the media about digital espionage, who was charged by the United States with espionage and theft of government property, is residing in exile in Russia.

The British government is planning legislation that will give more powers to intelligence agencies to track on-line action to inquire offense.
