Nobel Prize honors optogenetics pioneer for uncovering neural circuits that shape feelings

Supporters of Pakistan’s former prime minister, Imran Khan, have taken to the streets in a pro‑Khan march that is now winding up to Islamabad. The protest follows growing alarm over Khan’s health, claims that he has lost vision in his right eye and accusations that his imprisonment on corruption charges is politically motivated. Despite a court order for medical examination, authorities have denied access. The PTI says talks with the government broke down after the latter rejected requests to speak with Khan and to provide medical treatment. The march, which began in Lakki Marwat, is expected to reach the capital by Thursday, as supporters urge the public to remain engaged in the political process.

On Monday, France prepared to shut between 400 and 500 secondary schools after weeks of violent protests. Students have demanded more teachers, cleaner facilities and better learning conditions, while the education ministry cited security concerns and damaged premises. Police and justice officials report 1,747 arrests so far, with 5,000 detained in total, most of them minors. The government claims it is accelerating reforms, including a review of the “vandal‑pays” bill, but protesters accuse it of inaction. Tensions remain high, with the potential for further closures of schools and disruptions to the academic calendar.
