At least 14 children killed as roof of tutoring center collapses in eastern Pakistan

A roof collapse at a tutoring center under-construction in Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore on Tuesday killed at least 14 schoolchildren, police and rescue officials said.
Eight other children were also injured and were being treated at a hospital, senior police official Faisal Kamran said, adding that the owner of the tutoring center and another person have been arrested.
Kamran said rescuers were continuing to search through the rubble after receiving reports that more children could be trapped beneath the debris. He said the tutoring center was housed in an aging building and that the roof of an unfinished second floor apparently collapsed because of poor-quality construction.
Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari expressed grief over the collapse of the roof of an evening school building in Lahore. In a statement, he offered condolences to the families of the victims, prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured, and said effective safety measures were needed to prevent similar tragedies.
Building collapses are common in Pakistan, where construction standards are often poorly enforced. Many structures are built with substandard materials, and safety regulations are frequently ignored to reduce costs.

Barbora Krejcikova vs. Mirra Andreeva Prediction, Odds for Wimbledon Second Round
Barbora Krejcikova vs. Mirra Andreeva Prediction, Odds for Wimbledon Second Round
Betting odds, pick and prediction for the Barbora Krejcikova vs. Mirra Andreeva match in the second round at Wimbledon.Peter Dewey|
Reigning French Open winner Mirra Andreeva didn't have the easiest start to her run at Wimbledon, dropping nine games against Magda Linette, though she did win in straight sets.
Now, Andreeva will face a familiar foe in Barbora Krejcikova, who defeated Hannah Klugman 6-1, 6-4 to reach the second round at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Krejcikova won Wimbledon back in 2024, but she was knocked out in the third round of last year’s tournament. Still, oddsmakers view this as a pretty tough draw for Andreeva, setting her as just a -237 favorite in this match.
Can the 19-year-old keep her impressive 2026 season going?
Let’s take a look at the odds, each player’s history at Wimbledon and my prediction for this second-round matchup.

Barbora Krejcikova vs. Mirra Andreeva History and Wimbledon Performance
Barbora Krejcikova
The 2024 winner at Wimbledon, Krejcikova has made the third round in four of her five appearances. She’s coming off an easy win in Round 1, and she does have a win over Andreeva under her belt in her career.
Now, Andreeva is 3-1 in their four meetings, but Krejcikova beat her in their last Grand Slam matchup at the 2024 Australian Open.
Mirra Andreeva
Andreeva’s French Open win was extremely impressive, and she made the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2025.
In fact, Andreeva has a quarterfinal finish, a fourth-round finish and a first-round exit at Wimbledon, beating Krejcikova in their first-ever meeting at Wimbledon in 2023.
After dropping nine games to Linette in the first round, Andreeva has her work cut out for her in Round 2.
Barbora Krejcikova vs. Mirra Andreeva Prediction and Pick
This should be a very entertaining match, and Krejcikova’s success at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club can’t be overlooked.
The 2024 Wimbledon champ has given Andreeva some problems before, and I wouldn't be shocked if this is a longer match. So, why not take a plus-money bet for this to go to a third set?
While only one of their previous four matches has reached a third set, Krejcikova was forced to retire in her last match against Andreeva, shortly after she forced a tiebreak in the first set.
If there’s one stat to look at for Krejcikova, it’s how often she wins when serving. This year, she’s won over 77 percent of her service games – which is better than Andreeva – and over 62 percent of her service points.
I think that will help her win at least one set and force a third on Wednesday.
Pick: OVER 2.5 Sets (+125 at DraftKings)

Australian podcast host and model Steph Claire Smith has sparked widespread conversation after candidly sharing an intimate detail about her marriage to husband Josh Miller.
Speaking on KICPod alongside co-host Laura Henshaw on Monday, June 29, the mother of two admitted that while she was happy to engage in oral activities early in her relationship, her feelings have changed over time.
Highlights- Steph Claire Smith revealed that her feelings about oral intimacy have changed since the beginning of her relationship with her husband.
- Many women said they related to Smith's experience, while relationship coach Lana Hall explained that changing preferences over time is common in long-term relationships.
- The conversation also reignited debate over entitlement, infidelity, and HPV-related health risks.
Smith noted the shift hasn’t gone unnoticed by her husband and is a source of disappointment for him.
Her confession quickly resonated with several women, who flooded social media with comments ranging from “TBH, hard agree” to “This is such a common tale.”

“It’s really important, those things that we set out at the start of the relationship, isn’t it?” Smith asked Henshaw, adding, “Because I honestly think that’s why Josh has such a problem with my lack of bl**jobs that I give him.”
Smith said that she was the one who convinced her now-husband, then-boyfriend, to try the act, explaining to him in detail “how they were going to turn out.”
Because of how enthusiastic she was, Miller had gotten the impression that she “really loved them,” while the reality was that it simply gave her a “sore jaw.”

Several women admitted to going through similar experiences with their respective partners.
“I couldn’t agree with you more, Steph!” one wrote, while another remarked, “Howling at this one, ladies.”
“It’s time-consuming and draining, and sure hurts the jaw,” a third said.

On June 30, Lana Hall, a relationship coach, weighed in on the matter in an interview with news.com.au.
People often oversell their preferences at the start of the relationship, as they are presenting the “best parts of themselves.”
“But once we feel the relationship is secure and, as time goes by, most people can’t maintain that all the time, and they fall back into more of their old self.”
Hall said that it’s possible to stay more like the “best self,” but it takes conscious work and focus.
“Steph Claire Smith could keep or increase the oral s** frequency if that was a goal for her right now — but she’s got other priorities,” she added, explaining she’s prioritizing taking care of her two children, aged 5 and 1, respectively.
Some male listeners voiced that a lack of oral intimacy could justify infidelity, but they were quickly challenged

“If she stops putting in the effort, don’t be surprised if he finds it somewhere else,” one said.
“It sure will be a dealbreaker for me,” agreed another.
“Cheating is a choice, and I will make it mine,” asserted a third, while a fourth remarked, “Divorce incoming.”
Women pushed back against the narrative, claiming oral acts are cancer-causing and that no one should feel entitled to them.

“Men carry HPV and cannot be tested for it, unlike women via Pap smears. Why subject yourself to throat cancer? If a man will cheat because you don’t want to get cancer, good riddance,” a comment read.
HPV, for those unversed, stands for Human Papillomavirus, which spreads through skin-to-skin contact.
High-risk strains of the virus, primarily HPV-16, according to the Cleveland Clinic, are cancer-causing.
According to a 2023 study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham, there has been a rapid increase in throat cancer in the US and the UK over the past two decades, with HPV being the main cause.
The risk factor, according to the study, was the number of partners one has in their lifetime.
Those with six or more lifetime oral activity partners were noted to be 8.5 times more likely to develop oropharyngeal cancer than those who did not practice the act.
The HPV vaccine is the most effective prevention tool.
According to Dr. Brandon Prendes, a cancer treatment specialist from Cleveland, three rounds of the HPV vaccine taken between the ages of 9 and 45 can ward off the infection and decrease one’s chances of developing related cancer.
This was not the first time Steph Claire Smith resonated with her female followers when it came to intimate practices

In January 2023, the influencer revealed that watching adult content does nothing to get her going in the bedroom.
But she went on to recall that reading Colleen Hoover’s Ugly Love had a positive impact on her intimate life.
“As I was reading this novel, I realized that this is my kind of adult content. It did some things to me,” she told Henshaw.
“Basically, what happened was that I was reading this book in bed with Josh, and he was trying to give me the eyes that he wanted something,” she elaborated.
“And I was looking at him like, no, this book is way too good, and I was right in the middle of one of those chapters.”

Henshaw then interjected, pointing out that Smith was imagining herself in the book.
Smith pleaded guilty, adding, “I kept reading, and it got me so excited that I put the book down and did the deed.”
“He was like, wow, what book are you reading?”
Hundreds of her female followers shared their feelings on the matter.
“I felt the same way reading the first chapter of Layla by Colleen Hoover. And this is now next on my list,” one said.
“Finally, I understand why Colleen Hoover is all over my news feed,” added another.
Social media users continued to debate Steph Claire Smith’s candid confession

FreeTheUnicorn FreeTheUnicorn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 23 minutes ago Save I didn't expect this to be a controversial take, but oral is standard. Not required but standard. If a woman said her partner was tired of foreplay, there'd be an outcry, it's even more important as bodies get older, it takes a little more to have good s*x. Fine if the menu changes, but simply cutting out what is often half the experience is a big deal. She makes no mention at all of what will increase or what they are going to discuss or try. Not surprised she's not not enjoying her s*x life when there's o communication and she's been faking enjoyment of BJ's for years. Don't treat her like a role model, but a cautionary tale of hetero bed d***h.
