Cambridge confirms A-Level paper leak
In a statement, the CIE noted that one question from the AS & A Level Mathematics Paper 12 was leaked before the exam. It added that parts of two questions from the AS & A Level Mathematics Paper 42 were shared before the exam while parts of one question from the AS & A Level Computer Science Paper 22 were leaked before the exam.
The examiner said they had concluded their investigations into the allegations of leaked question, and were ensuring that all students receive fair results.
"In all three cases, Cambridge will mark the papers as usual but will discount the questions shared in advance," the CIE said in the statement.
"We will give full marks to all candidates for those questions. This approach will tend to push candidates' total marks upwards and this will be accounted for when we announce results," the statement added.
"With this remedy, we are confident that any advantage gained by candidates who saw the leaked questions is removed, and that the remaining marks ensure the grades we award will be accurate and reliable.

Penalties on rice exporters waived
A delegation of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP), led by Senior Vice Chairman Jawed Jillani, met with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Jameel Ahmad and his team at the central bank. Jawed Jillani informed the SBP governor about the challenges being faced by rice exporters. He requested him to waive the penalties imposed in the wake of late realisation of export proceeds, which was mainly due to the extra delay in transit time and was beyond the control of exporters. In response, the SBP governor issued instructions to remove the penalties. The delegation complained about the unavailability of Export Refinance Facility (ERF) from various banks and the additional foreign exchange rates charged by shipping companies, which were Rs10-12 higher than the inter-bank rates. It also requested steps to facilitate the repatriation of long pending amount of rice exporters in Lebanon.
