TCI is still safest destination for travellers

– Govt says amid US advisory

Earlier this month the United States had warned its citizens about travelling to the TCI amid a spate of violent crimes, now the TCI Government has rubbished these claims, saying the territory is one of the safest places to visit. “Travelers can take heart and be confident in their vacation plans, as they make the Turks and Caicos Islands their destination of choice to visit,” Hon Josephine Connolly, Minister of Tourism said in a recent press statement. The statement by the tourism minister as well as other remarks made by the Minister of Health only addresses the territory’s Covid-19 situation. Minister Connolly advises that currently, more than 85 per cent of the adult population are fully vaccinated - making the Turks and Caicos Islands one of the most inoculated countries in the world. She said the government has been very proactive with its Covid-19 vaccination programme, ensuring that persons take up the vaccine for the betterment of all.

Hon Josephine Connolly, Minister of Tourism Earlier this year, the Ministry of Health announced a fourth dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, which is now currently being administered to adults throughout the country, prioritising those aged 60 and older or who are immunocompromised. Minister of Health, Hon Jamell Robinson commented: “The Covid-19 pandemic was first and foremost a humanitarian crisis affecting people’s lives and livelihoods, but it also impacted our Islands further as tourism is an important part of our economy.” He added: “My health team moved quickly to introduce measures aimed at containing the spread while minimising as much as possible the impact on the tourism sector. We worked hard to restore traveller confidence and stimulate demand with new safe and clean

labels for the health sector through information apps and continuous promotion campaigns.” The ‘Beautiful by Nature’ British

Caribbean isle’s commitment to the health and safety of its citizens, residents, and visitors has also resulted in it receiving an Alert Level 2 from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The tourism minister stated: “When our borders opened in July 2020, we have seen a steady increase in visitor arrivals. Last year, the destination performed tremendously well, showing that we were returning to pre-Covid numbers. And, as the tourism sector continues to rebound, the preliminary numbers has indicated that the Turks and Caicos is once again breaking visitor arrival records, with some 138,762 air arrivals and 173,151 cruise arrivals in the first quarter of 2022.” Hon Connolly recalled that last

month the Government announced amendments to its Public and Environmental Health Arriving Passengers Travel Clearance Regulations, relaxing restrictions for vaccinated travellers to the destination. “While all travellers over the age of 18 must still show proof of full vaccination to visit the Islands, they are no longer required to provide a negative Covid-19 test or proof of travel insurance to gain entry as of May 1, 2022. “Also, all visitors will no longer be required to upload their information to the TCI Assured Portal, as it was discontinued on Saturday, April 30, 2022. Moreover, face masks will no longer be required in indoors and enclosed spaces.”

Illegal structure plastered with PNP billboard months after election – Opposition leader has questions Leader of the Opposition, Hon Edwin Astwood has called out the PNP Government for its use of an illegal settlement to advertise their campaign flyers. Astwood, who is also the leader of the PDM, in a statement on Thursday, May 19, alleged the possibility that the leading party constructed an illegal building in the Snake Hill area of Providenciales to erect their

campaign billboards. Even though general election has come and gone, Astwood said it is a sight that remains months late and one that flies in the face of the Government’s pronouncements on illegal settlements around the island. “Seeing an illegal structure being constructed with PNP election billboards should shake every PNP supporter to their core,

and additionally, all country-loving Turks and Caicos Islanders should be upset by this.” The party leader also shared an image of the offending structure with the media. The image shows what appears to be wooden shack covered with PNP campaign billboards. According to Astwood, the area CONTINUED 

Big cash payout for Sri Lankans detained by immigration The false imprisonment and breach of the constitutional rights of seven illegal immigrants from Sri Lanka by the TCI Immigration authorities have led to a big cash payment in the sum of $532,500 in damages. The Sri Lankans were among a group of 29 of their fellow countrymen who were arrested on October 19, 2019, on board a sloop along with several Haitians and a man from India. They were detained and eventually transferred to the Immigration Centre in Five Cays until August 24, 2020. The men retained local counsel, who filed for their release. The Supreme Court ruled that they must be released from the facility because, among other things, they had applied for political asylum. Defendants in the case were the Director of Immigration Derek Been, then Minister of Border Control Vaden D. Williams and the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The defendants admitted liability, court documents outline. The judgement was handed down last week by Justice Carlos Simmons. After their arrest in 2019, the plaintiffs were detained at the Immigration Detention Centre for different periods of either 316 or 320 days. Following their court-ordered

release, they filed claims in the court seeking damages for false imprisonment, breaches of their constitutional rights and exemplary damages. In his judgement, Justice Simmons said that in assessing damages, his considerations included the plaintiffs’ initial shock of the first arrest, their injury to liberty, injury to their feelings including loss of reputation, humiliation and disgrace, their pain and suffering, their loss of enjoyment of lives, their period of detention, the conditions of the detention centre and aggravating factors including the need to vindicate the breaches of their constitutional rights. He said the court has carefully considered the awards made in authorities supplied by the parties and compared the facts to the present case. The judge further outlined that the evidence supplied by the plaintiffs about the conditions of detention were identical in each claim. He said they were detained at the Detention Centre where they were not allowed to leave, that the treatment was described broadly as “bad”, and they were given bare necessities such as food and limited clothing. They all admitted that conditions improved after March 2020. The plaintiffs were

pictured was cleared of all illegal developments during the past PDM administration, but “now the structures are returning, with bold messaging”. He questioned: “What message is being sent here? Now, I do not believe that was commissioned by this PNP administration, but I have been wrong about them in the past by giving them the benefit of a doubt. “Is the message saying that now that the PNP is in power ‘we have the green light to do whatever we want?’ “I surely hope not. It may be signalling ‘I support this the PNP party, so don’t mess with me’. I can only speculate about what message this

illegal squatter is signalling to the Turks and Caicos Islands Government.” He recalled that the Minister of Finance, in his Budget address, stated that $2m has been allocated to address unlawful settlements, and a further $2m to offset legal costs for arbitration. Adding: “However, I have yet to identify the specific line item, actions, plans, or policies that this is funding. It appears to be the overall amount that is scattered in the recurrent funding for the Crown Land Unit and the Planning Department, taking into account those departments’ regular yearly recurrent expenditure, along with one or two vehicles for the respective departments.”

not cross-examined. The evidence of the defendants to the claims against them was contained in the witness statement of Mr Peter Parker, Assistant Director of Immigration. Mr Parker was not cross-examined. In his witness statement, Mr Parker told the court that the conditions at the detention centre were adequate--that it was comfortable, cleaned daily, and had proper ventilation. He said the detainees are given clothing and laundry essentials, allowed to change after regular showers, allowed to exercise, play games, had movie nights and received three meals a day catered by outside restaurant service which consisted of a balanced diet. Religious rituals were

accommodated, as were access to telephone communications with family members overseas. He also told the court that the proper procedures were put in place for all detainees in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, with comprehensive protocols for the protection of the health and safety of all. In his assessment of the evidence provided, the judge said he found that the conditions at the detention centre were not as degrading or inhumane as those described by the plaintiff in support of their claim of a daily rate of $350. He thereby capped the daily rate to be paid out to the plaintiffs at $200 per day, as requested by the defendants. Further, the judge declined to

award exemplary damages on the ground that the damages awarded were adequate compensation for false imprisonment and to vindicate the Plaintiffs constitutional rights. The first, second and third plaintiffs Mr Paintamilkavalan, Mr Varatharaj and Mr Swapalan were all awarded $76,500 by the judge. While another two plaintiffs, Mr Srikanth and Nesarupan received $75,700, and Mr Sekeeran received $76,500.00. In the case of Mr Ravikkumar, the court awarded him $75,700. The judge declined to award exemplary damages on the ground that the damages awarded are adequate compensation for false imprisonment and to vindicate the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.

End of TCI’s work permit moratorium signals Caribbean recovery A wealth of job openings in the Turks and Caicos Islands could be a positive sign for the state of economic rebound in the Caribbean, rapidly recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Caribbean Employment Services. During the height of the pandemic, the TCI Government had implemented a pause on the issuance of first-time work permits, like many other Caribbean nations did in an attempt to prioritise jobs for locals. However, the year-long moratorium on work permits was also lifted as of May 1, and job openings are on the rise in the territory, with the Government and Immigration Task Force recruiting to fill over 300 positions. The positive move was lauded by the Caribbean Employment Services Inc., a Barbados-based recruitment agency dedicated to connecting Caribbean employers with the best possible candidate for their positions. In a statement sent to the

Weekly News on Saturday, May 14, the company said it welcomes the positive sign and continues to monitor the marked increase in job openings in the TCI. “The moratorium coming to an end as of May 1 could suggest that the Government feels comfortable enough with its pace of job recovery among the local population, auguring well for TCI and the Caribbean on the whole and begging the question of whether other regional nations will follow suit. “Additionally, TCI is also implementing a four per cent salary increase and six per cent pension scheme for civil servants, becoming the latest among several of the region’s nations to introduce similar incentives in recent times — another sign that the region is well on its way to full recovery,” the company stated. As a part of its efforts to continue to attract talent to the Turks and Caicos Islands Civil Service and to ensure that all new and vacant posts are filled on a timely basis, the Turks and

Caicos Government launched its Recruitment Programme for the 2022/2023 financial year. Anya Williams, TCI deputy Governor-General and Head of the Civil Service, said: “There are currently over 300 positions to be filled across the Government. The first recruitment drive, which is currently being conducted, includes over 80 positions and ranges across all ministries, including key positions in the Ministries of Health, Education, Infrastructure and Border Control.” She added, “As recruitment is an ongoing process, with staff continuously moving up within and also at times out of the organisation, we will do our best to ensure that positions that become available are filled within a timely manner throughout the year ahead.” Meanwhile, the Immigration Task Force is recruiting 10 immigration officers, openly advertising a base salary of $39,716 and allowances, plus a six per cent pension and gratuity, as well as accident and injury insurance.

Rapist Jitney driver on the loose – police investigating

Police are calling on parents of underage children not to allow them to ride by themselves in illegal jitney cabs after a recent report of sexual assault. Last week, reports from residents indicated that a rapist jitney driver is on the loose, targeting underage passengers and now police have confirmed these reports, saying they are on the lookout for the alleged criminal. A statement from the Safeguarding and Public Protection Unit last Friday, May 13, revealed that police are actively investigating a report of an unknown male who is operating what appears to be an illegal jitney. The unknown subject is alleged to have picked up a schoolgirl and subjected her to a sexual attack. The victim is now safe and under the care of professionals. “We are seeking the assistance of families and communities in disseminating this information that is of vital importance to both government and private schools to put measures in place for the safety of children after school. “Parents and guardians are asked to be aware and take precautions, make provisions

for their children to be collected safely from schools by someone who is trusted and to desist from allowing their child/children to ride home in illegal jitneys.” Parents and guardians are also asked to listen to their children and teach them not to keep unsafe secrets. The unit explained that most abusers cultivate strong relationships with children before progressing to sexual offences. Often, they start by testing a child’s boundaries by being inappropriate in other ways such as buying them gifts, giving them money and making them feel special. Parents and guardians are advised to look out for these signs and alert the police. The Safeguarding Unit assured that they have specially trained officers who will deal with any reports in the strictest confidence. “They will listen to you and support those most vulnerable.” Anyone with information on this matter can contact the police at 911, call Crime Stoppers anonymously, or contact the Safeguarding and Public Protection Unit on telephone number 649-2326696 / MASH 338-4013.

‘Gun-toting’ Five Cays man charged with possession Gino Bernadin could face up to seven years in prison if found guilty of carrying a firearm and ammunition which he attempted to discard when stopped by the cops. Bernadin, a resident of Five Cays, was formally charged on Thursday, May 19, by officers of the Criminal Investigations Department. Police said the charges stemmed from a police stop and search conducted last Sunday, May 15, at about 12:57 am. At the time, Bernadin was the driver of a small black vehicle. As the officers were about to conduct a search on Bernadin, he threw what appeared to be a firearm from his waist, over the vehicle.

Officers quickly recovered the firearm and detained Bernadin. The accused will appear soon in the Magistrate Court to answer the said charges. Commenting on the work of his officers, Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting said: “This arrest and charges reflect the diligent and targeted work of officers who are working to keep our communities safe. “We are committed to getting guns and those people who carry them off the streets and we are grateful for the support we are getting from the public. “I urge you to tell us what you know about guns and gun crime to support us in fighting crime.”

REGULATING THE JITNEY SERVICE

For quite some time now, and disgustingly again last week, there have been reports of jitney drivers — or people posing as jitneys — sexually assaulting unsuspecting and trusting passengers they pick up along the streets of Providenciales. It is high time the Government takes strong and decisive action to protect the public from these vultures parading our streets as purveyors of a legitimate service, when in fact they are nothing but criminals seeking to prey on innocent women and children, who trust them with their lives to take them safely from one point of the island to another. Jitneys provide an essential service to the community, especially on a spread-out island like Providenciales; but this service must be regulated. What can the Government do? What are your thoughts?

A dire need for a public transit system

We have been saying for years that the Government needs to put in place a public transit system. They need to set the fare financially viable for all workers and school children who would use this once the school buses are done for the day. Especially for after-school sporting events, and all extracurricular activities. The general public must know they are safe while on these buses. The drivers have to be well-trained and also know how to handle any difficulties. Shift workers in particular would benefit and be much safer coming off a late shift. The routes must be thought out well; be properly signed with bus shelters at various locations to be out of the sun and rain; and the scheduling of same has to be regular and on time. The Government will be able to make this self-funding if handled correctly but need to ensure the fares are modest and set the same for all routes. Once this system is in place jitneys should be banned and only licensed and legal taxi drivers with fully vetted vehicles should be allowed on the roads.

Make necessary changes

Set up 'sting operations' and imprison the perpetrators and

then use appropriately drafted legislation going forward.

Create an environment for law-abiding drivers

A public transport system might reduce demand to a level that could be serviced by lawful drivers. Especially if it is set up by franchisees.

With the transportation consultation going on in planning, we need to develop not just talk about implementing proper infrastructure and transportation in the islands. We need mass public transportation, then we need to enact laws to limit the number of vehicles per household like in Bermuda. Build trams from Blue Hills to Grace and through the various parts of the islands. We have to think futuristic and put in place a plan that has a 25-year life span. Develop an international Airport in North Caicos and build the causeway to connect the island to Providenciales. This would relieve a lot of traffic congestion in Providenciales and bring economic wealth to the neighbouring settlements.

to go down certain roadways late at night. The police need to have surveillance systems in place and they need to ensure that documented drivers alone offer service. Regulating jitneys might not be a bad idea, especially if drivers enter into a database; are willing to mark their vehicles and show their badges to customers.

“No control” over global inflation – Premier Misick – Promises to continue cushioning impacts in the TCI The Government has “no control” over inflation, but will continue to review factors contributing to the rise in prices and take actions to cushion the effects on the populace, Premier Hon Washingon Misick stated recently. The war in Ukraine, and supply chain crisis continue to affect the globe and during his recent budget address in the House of Assembly, Misick said his Government acknowledges that the inflation rate is soaring. “We have never denied that the inflation rate is high. “We have no control over inflation and have responded quickly when inflation became a threat. “We do not have a central bank, we do not have our own currency, and so we do not determine monetary policy. “We cannot control global inflation but we can respond, and we did so swiftly.” He continued: “In fact, when I announced the mini-stimulus, I was very clear that the aim was

Premier HonWashington Misick and Deputy Premier Hon Erwin Saunders to provide temporary relief from inflation until other measures can be taken, including the establishment of a living wage and other means of support. “The factors contributing to inflation are fluid and there will be constant reviews and actions to cushion the pressures on our people”, he added.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance, Investment and Trade Hon Erwin ‘Jay’ Saunders, during his budget presentation, stressed that although the TCI had a banner economic year, replete with positive achievements and unprecedented economic gains, the

Government is “ever mindful” of how the global economic climate is affecting the territory. He said: “The Russia/Ukraine War is the most significant conflict in Europe since World War II. “It is having significant negative effects on the world – including here in the TCI, and the fallout is expected to get worse before it gets better.” He explained that in April, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its global growth projections for 2022 and 2023 to 3.6%. “This represents drops of 0.8% for 2022, and 0.2% for 2023, from the forecasts published in January. “The World Bank has also cut its global growth expectations for 2022 from 4.1% to 3.2%. “The effects of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict are worsened by the global supply chain issues, which have resulted in increased energy and food prices”, he said. He further explained that the United States, TCI’s largest trading partner, has reported that its inflation rate is at 8.5%. He said: “Higher prices for

basic items have pushed the average inflation for this fiscal year significantly beyond the 6% that was originally forecasted. “If the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the global supply chain problems continue for much longer, there is a high probability that global investors may become timid and pull back on their investments.” The Finance Minister underscored that if this occurs, it will have an adverse effect on Foreign Direct Investment flows to the territory. “Thankfully Mr Speaker, and through the goodness of God, so far, the investment interest in our Beautiful by Nature Turks and Caicos Islands remains robust. “Our Government is closely monitoring developments and reactions of global markets and will make adjustments to our policies if it is deemed necessary. “And as we have consistently done, we will ensure that the poor and vulnerable are protected from the worst effects of this crisis”, he added.

Royal Caribbean still set for Port Grand Turk despite delays – Premier Premier Hon Washington Misick said plans are still in the pipelines for Royal Caribbean mega cruise ships to call at Port Grand Turk despite delays. “Royal Caribbean indicated its intention to call into Grand Turk beginning last December, initially at the Grand Turk Cruise Port and eventually into Downtown, Grand Turk once they make arrangements for the investment to facilitate safe shore-side landing for their passengers, that is still their plan, albeit delayed”, he said during his budget address in the House of Assembly on Thursday, May 5. Last October, at a press conference, Premier Misick said that his Government was engaged in “positive” negotiations with Royal Caribbean Cruises following his call for solid investments to resuscitate the cruise industry

which suffered a two-year lull in activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He said: “It may be a little early but I can say to you that we are having negotiations with Royal Caribbean and it looks very positive that between now and the end of the summer we will also have them calling into the town area of Grand Turk.” The possible arrival of the Royal Caribbean ships to the island could be a hindrance, but the Government is ironing out details in its contract with Carnival cruise to ensure a seamless introduction of Royal Caribbean to these shores. He said: “We’re still working out some details with Carnival because most people would remember that part of Carnival’s arrangement was exclusivity on Grand Turk. “I am very hopeful that we will

Royal Caribbean cruise ship-Royal Caribbean photo work those details out and by the end of the summer and early fall, we will see both cruise lines calling into Grand Turk.” The suspension of global cruises back in March 2020 left over 1,450 people in the cruise tourism industry on the breadline. As part of the Government investment to revive the sector,

a number of initiatives to improve and enhance not only the port facility but the entire sector, inclusive of all industry stakeholders were undertaken. Royal Caribbean, the world's largest cruise line by passenger capacity, carries a whopping 6,680 passengers at maximum occupancy on its bustling mega-ships.

Lewis Edwin Astwood was one of the founding members of the PDM.

Hon Lewis Edwin Astwood III was a wise man with a big heart.

Astwood remembered as fearless and patriotic Opposition Leader says his uncle “served his generation with excellence” TCI’s first Deputy Chief Minister of the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Hon Lewis Edwin Astwood III is being remembered as a fearless leader, a national treasurer, and a family man. The seasoned politician, who was one of the founding members of the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) passed away on Friday last (May 13) at the age of 78, after a prolonged period of illness. Born in September of 1943 in Middle Caicos, Astwood spent a period of his life in the Bahamas, where he developed an acute business sense and a passion for justice. His passion led him to serve his country with distinction. He was in office from 1976-1988 and from 1991-1995. What set him apart from others was his ears-to-the-ground mentality. He was a man of trade, not a man of education and his work was for the development of ordinary citizens. In an article in his honour, The Weekly News Columnist and author Drexwell Seymour, described him as a wise man with a big heart. “He had very little formal education, but he was smarter and wiser than many of us who graduated from college and university…Every time I talk to him (which was very often by the way), it was like a light bulb went off in my head. I was so amazed with his thoughts and ideas. He always thought outside the box and was one step ahead.” The late Astwood left his mark wherever he went and he was an

He love this country and its people unapologetically, and made that known to all.” Sean said that his father did not only belong to him and his siblings, but to the nation at large and that the Turks and Caicos' problems, became his problems. “He was a fighter, a patriot, a man of the people, trailblazer and a caring father. Whenever I think of him even before his passing, words like strength, conviction, principles, leadership and visionary come to mind.”

In an invited comment, the Opposition Leader and current leader of the PDM, Hon Edwin Astwood told the Weekly News that the pioneering politician, who was his uncle, played an important role in his life. “Amongst many things, Hon Lewis Astwood and our National Hero, the Rt. Hon J.A.G.S McCartney had my father as a

younger brother. All of my male cousins by Hon Astwood, knew that he was one of my favourite uncles and would always defend him. “Conversations with him would always be about self-improvement and aiming for greatness, and the not running from the responsibility of carrying the Astwood name. He would also stress to me the need to give service to our people and our country.”

The current Opposition Leader added that the late Deputy Chief Minister, “has left his mark on our country and has served his generation with excellence. Gone but not forgotten”. REMARKABLE MAN Edwin’s cousin, Sean Astwood, one of the children of the late politician, remembers his father with the fondest of memories.

MAGNANIMITY Former Minister Robert Hall also spoke of the magnanimity of the great leader. “Hon Astwood was a person who gave more than he received from his party and his country. He would even take a television out of his house and give it to those whom he thought needed it… I will always remember Hon Astwood as a fighter, a man who fought for the betterment of his country.” The PDM in a social media post also mourned its fallen comrade. The post described the late Astwood as a legend, “your contributions to our party will never be forgotten. “You were fearless and brave, the Turks and Caicos Islands is better because of your service, history will be kind to you. Your legend will forever live on in our hearts and minds. Hon Lewis Astwood, thank you. May your soul rest in peace.”

Public outrage as rapist pastor gets ‘light sentence’ The public is outraged that a pastor – who abused his elevated position of trust to groom and rape two children - was only granted 11 years in prison when he could have gotten the maximum of life. Derrick Miller, a 48-year-old native of Guyana and former leader of the Salvation Army Church in TCI, was finally sentenced for his heinous crimes last week. Miller appeared in court to hear the long-awaited written judgement delivered by Justice Tanya Lobban-Jackson, for crimes he confessed to on March 4, 2022. Those crimes: two counts of attempted rape and one count of rape of a child under the age of 16, and five counts of rape of a child under the age of 13, contrary to sections 3 and 7 respectively, of the Sexual Offences Ordinance 2020. The crimes were discovered by a family member in May 2021 through WhatsApp conversations between the deviant pastor and the minor victims on a cell phone supplied by Miller. Miller was sentenced to nine years imprisonment on each count of attempted rape, and 11 years imprisonment on each count of rape. The sentences are to run concurrently, and time spent on remand is to be considered. The maximum sentence under sections 3 and 7 of the Ordinance that the court could have granted is a term of imprisonment for life. OUTRAGE As news of the sentence hit social media platforms – both in TCI and in Guyana – the consensus was that Miller’s sentence was a slap on the wrist, and a slap in the face of the victims. One commenter wrote: “The sentencing judge was too soft on him.” Many others reflected on the sentencing guidelines of the TCI, identifying areas such as rape of minors particularly, where stricter sentencing is needed given the prevalence of the offence within the island community. “Sick [expletive]. They've a lot more just like him. I can bet he has more victims out there.” Another wrote: “Sad for the young girls, 11 years isn’t enough it should be life, we don’t know how many other young girls he molested/rape who are too ashamed to come forward.” Miller was branded as a sexual predator and groomer by the prosecution, and this was accepted by the court. Sexual grooming is described as “a preparatory process in which

Rapist Pastor, Derrick Miller jailed for 11 years a perpetrator gradually gains a person's or organisation's trust with the intent to be sexually abusive. The victim is usually a child, teen, or vulnerable adult”. The Guyanese community in the TCI expressed outrage at the sentence as well, calling for stricter penalties for him, and other sexual predators. Many also believed the sentence of 11 years was too light and called for the maximum. THE CRIMES The crimes occurred over an extended period beginning sometime after March 25, 2020, and were committed at Miller’s Blue Hills, Providenciales home that he shared with his family,

and at the Salvation Army church building located in Plantation Hills. In their submissions in the case, the prosecution said Miller engaged in several types of sexual acts, including anal and group sex and that this occurred over a period of two years. Court documents revealed that Miller first met his two female victims in 2014 when they were six and eight years old. The court accepted that he preyed on and groomed the two girls before the sexual acts were committed, although it was unclear at what age this began. The aggravating factors submitted by the Prosecution pointed to the age difference between the defendants who were

11 and 12 at the time the sexual acts began; the vulnerability of both victims regarding their socioeconomic status with one of the two girls a victim of previous sexual abuse, coupled with the defendant’s knowledge and exploitation of these factors. They also listed the premeditation of the offences as another aggravating factor, along with the victims’ exposure to semen and other bodily fluids, Miller’s participation in deviant sexual behaviour with children, and his attempts to conceal evidence by asking the victims to delete WhatsApp messages from their phones. The prosecutor also pointed to the prevalence of the offence in the community; Miller’s abuse of his position of trust, the length of the sexual relationship he had with his victims; his grooming of the victims and the emotional and psychological abuse he has inflicted on them. However, the prosecution cited the mitigating factors in the case as Miller’s guilty plea and his “previous good character”. In her judgement, Justice Lobban-Jackson said in arriving at the sentences, the Court considered a victim impact statement, a pre-sentence report and took the principles of sentencing, including the totality principle into account. “The Court bore in mind that it had to balance a number of competing interests and objectives; and therefore, to tailor the sentence to suit the offence(s) and the offender, while maintaining a level of transparency. “The Court considered the vulnerability of the victims, as a result of extreme youth and personal circumstances; and culpability, due to the defendant’s abuse of the trust reposed in him

as the pastor of the church which the victims attended. As well as evidence of grooming behaviour towards the victims, and also places of the offending.” The Court stated that religious and community leaders are entrusted with children and the vulnerable for their care and protection, not for that trust or for the children to be used and abused. The judgement continued: “Persons in the community have come to admire, look up to and respect religious leaders, and when those in positions of trust abuse that trust, it damages not only victims but also has a negative impact on the community.” VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT One of the victims provided the court with a victim impact statement, while they both admitted to feelings of shame about what transpired. A portion of the statement provided reads: “[I] want Captain Miller to know that he is a bad person and need to stay in prison for the rest of his life because I do not want this to ever happen to any other child.” The young lady is currently receiving counselling and is in a safer home environment. She shared with the court that she is often sad and has trust issues, especially around men. She said in summary: “I want Captain Miller to stay in jail forever, I believe Captain Miller is a danger, he should remain in prison for a long time because of the things he has taken away from me.” In addition to the custodial sentence, a Sexual Harm Prevention Order was granted by the court until May 12, 2032, which places restrictions upon Miller following his release from prison.

Nurses are the heart of healthcare – They made a difference in my life

Last week was Nurses Week. I have always admired nurses, but I have a greater appreciation for them since I started dialysis five and a half years ago. These nurses have made a difference in my life. Initially, I was very afraid but after a period, the nurses made me feel calm and comfortable. They are not doctors but trust me they know what they are doing, and they have extensive knowledge of healthcare. In fact, many times they diagnose an issue long before the doctors do. The nurses are at the frontline of a health facility and so your first interaction more than likely will be with a nurse. The nurses are the ones checking the patient’s vital signs and continuously

monitoring the patient. Based on my experience with nurses, they provide support and care. As a result, it makes a positive difference in your stay at a health facility. In my opinion, nurses are heroes and so it is awesome that

a week is set aside to recognise them. We should not take nurses for granted. Nurses save lives. They follow up with you on a regular basis and they provide great advice. They are always working around the clock. Many of us are working on an 8-hour

shift while most nurses are working on a 12-hour shift. At the dialysis facility in TCI, some of the nurses’ workday starts at 5:30 am and if they work the evening shift on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, they do not leave work until 2 am. Some nurses go beyond their call of duty. There are some people who mistreat the nurses and talk to them in a condescending manner. Sometimes, we act like nurses cause our medical problems. Let us learn to respect nurses and treat them the way we want others to treat us. There is a great demand for nurses everywhere and as a result, there is a shortage of nurses worldwide. I think nurses deserve a higher pay just like I believe teachers should

be getting paid more than what they are currently earning. We are paying thousands of dollars to other professions but yet we short-change nurses. I agree with the saying that nurses are the “heart” of healthcare. They are involved in every aspect of your life as a patient. I cannot end this article without praising the hard work and dedication of the nurses at the dialysis unit in the Turks and Caicos. I highlighted them because they are the ones I interact with three times a week. However, I want to thank all nurses for their contribution to the healthcare industry and for making a difference not only in the lives of the patients but also to the family and friends of the patients.

Economic diversification in the TCI: How and why it is urgent! Of late, economic diversification has been on TCI’s policy agenda, yet this goal continues to elude the attention of the authorities. In fact, the TCI is home to one of the least diverse economies in the region and if prolonged further, it could weaken the basis for economic transformation and decelerate the speed of growth. This especially makes the TCI vulnerable to sudden external shocks as illustrated during the coronavirus pandemic. Christine Lagarde, the

critical for resilience. Foremost, we must define what diversification means in TCI’s specific structural and socioeconomic context and granting the importance of diversifying the economy, it is important to cognize how various dimensions of diversification implicate, differently, the catalog of policy options. Although highly correlated to structural transformation – an action involving the movement of a country’s productivity resources from low to high productivity activities – economic diversification in the TCI must resonate through three distinct dimensions. First, is gross domestic product diversification, which conceptualise the sectoral contribution to aggregate employment and output. This suggests that the TCI must transition from primary industries toward more technologically

advanced sectors and drift away from informal toward formal economic sectors and carry with it increasing levels of productivity. There is also export diversification, which would focus on TCI’s major trade sectors and partners while increasing the range of goods and services to the global market. Correspondingly, the gravity of export diversification is clearly emphasised by the infrequent ‘boom’ and ‘bust’ cycles of global product price shocks, in the demand and supply of oil, precipitated by the pandemic. And fiscal diversification, which deduces expanding productive sectors, allows the government to raise more revenues earmarked by public expenditure. Particularly, this serves as the impetus for broader economic transformation through the development of activities in specific industries and sectors. The corollary is that this will reduce TCI’s dependence on tourism by adapting to a myriad of sustainable domestic revenue mobilisation; coupled with, expanding the tax base and taxation instruments, or efficiently leveraging underutilised tax mechanisms. According to expert analyses, in developing countries worldwide, economic diversification has

fashioned the policy direction. Oil and mineral-rich economies in Africa, Latin America and the Persian Gulf are limiting their dependence on these natural resources through the growth of sources of their exports and fiscal revenues. Saudi Arabia—in 2016— had inaugurated Vision 2030, a milestone policy, designed to reduce the country’s dependence on oil through the development of a robust private sector. Similarly, Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean, Pacific and areas of Africa are building stronger, resilient economies, and in the interim, reducing their reliance on revenues derived from tourism and pockets of unprocessed product exports. Meanwhile, other countries across Africa and Latin America are working tirelessly to expand trade partners beyond regional control and former colonial powers. As the private sector activity continues to rely heavily on government-funded projects and consumption primarily financed by tourism revenues, policy makers must overcome the drawbacks of past diversification efforts and create a pathway for real economic development, which is not reliant, directly and indirectly, on the tourism sector.

Choose to bless not curse

The age of information is a wonderful age. Information and disinformation are at our fingertips. In fact, only recently I was thinking how much easier it is for my children to get answers to questions they have. They just Google it. Wow, if only we had access to this kind of technology when I was studying. Oh, how I remember trying to gain access to a specific text in the library only to find out that every copy had been previously borrowed by my classmates to do the same assignment. The downside of this information age is that now everyone has a platform, Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, are but a few platforms where people can express all their views and opinions. The unfortunate truth is that most of what is being expressed really ought not to be expressed. So often we see posts being dug up from the past and used against persons seeking political appointment or even positions of

employment. The scariest part of the internet is that it will always be there. As a child I learned a little quote by William Gregory Paige, three things that never come back, the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the missed opportunity. I want to focus on the spoken word today. James chapter 3 speaks about a little unruly member that we all have trouble with, the tongue. It is truly amazing how this little body part can cause so much trouble in our lives and the lives of others. With just a few words we can change the course of someone’s day, we can create havoc causing sadness, anxiety, anger, depression, or we can offer wise counsel,

encouragement, cause laughter, brighten a person’s day or even change their outlook on a situation. This may sound trivial to some, and some may even say, “I say what I want and I don’t care who likes it or not. The reality though is words are not just wind contrary to what some may believe. Consider the impact that a positive word spoken to you as a child has had on the course of your life or that mentor, teacher, family member or friend has had on you. Similarly, I am positive we can all remember words of negativity spoken to us that have stayed with us as well. Words matter and we can choose those words. The scriptures tell us in Proverbs 18 verse 21 that

life and death are in the power of the tongue. Jesus in Luke 6 verse 28 said, “Bless those that curse you, pray for those who abuse you”. This is truly not something that comes naturally to us and can only be done through the power of the Holy Spirit. If we are to truly be the Christian nation in action and not only in name, then this is one more area we need to tackle. I would encourage us the next time we are tempted to speak out in frustration that we take a deep breath and pray for those persons that are annoying us before we speak. It could be a co-worker, a family member, a friend or even

a stranger. Let’s find ways to encourage one another through good words as Hebrews 10 verse 24 says. Imagine what we could become if we blessed this nation every time we spoke about it. We still have that option available to us. I want to end this article by saying the following: Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless the nation of the Turks and Caicos Islands, bless its leaders from parliament to the pulpit. Bless the people of this nation, prosper them, and give them a hope and a future. Bless their innovative ideas and entrepreneurial endeavours.

Eight physical attributes women want in a man What do women want from men? It’s a never-ending list.

Tattoos, to some women, are great, but only in a few places and of a few things. Most women find that arm and chest tattoos provide a more masculine look to physically fit men. Here is an example. A flower on your back to represent your undying love for your mom, yes. While an ice cream cone on your lower right thigh is probably going to be a mistake.

Aviation and tourism implications for the Caribbean

Aviation and tourism are often referred to as being, ‘two-sidesof-the-same-coin’, meaning that they may differ in their vision, but one is not without the other. Back in 2019, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, there were roughly 1.4 billion tourists, of which, around half travelled by aviation. Without good connectivity, can destinations really have tourism? The pandemic threw back the philosophy of domestic tourists, and, new holiday experiences were coined - ‘stay-home and ‘staycations’. The United States and China witnessed a massive surge in domestic tourism, and, during 2020, the fastest growing airport in the world was Bozeman International airport in Montana. The reason being, tourists were fleeing to the national park, and, not cities, and, an airport close to the Yosemite National Park, which, was having a few flights a day, all of a sudden was with slot restrictions. Domestic tourism is not going to go away, but, as countries reopen, and, we learned to live with Covid-19, aviation and tourism are strongly back on the agenda. In Europe as an example, capacity traffic from northern Europe to southern Europe is actually above pre-covid levels. The strength of the low-cost airline recovery and rebuild of carriers such as Ryanair, EasyJet and Wizz Air is seeing unprecedented demand for tourists to fly south for much-missed holidays on the beaches of Spain, Portugal, and Italy. IS TOURISM REALLY BACK? Airline capacity is one part of the jigsaw. Putting planes back in the

sky has been easy but, having staff to fulfil all these routes, and, airport personnel to manage all this ‘new traffic’, is another story. One needs to support demand generation also. Getting load factors on planes back to pre-covid levels of 80% (90% of the low-cost carriers) is the challenge now for the tourism boards. Re-building the vision and storytelling of ‘why visit?’. And, with all crises, one can also say, we have opportunities. New source markets for destinations can now be considered, as, the challenge we have all faced is that, going back to what we used to do is not in our minds. KEY TIME FOR TOURISM BOARDS TO LOOK AT WHO WAS VISITING PRE-COVID With which airlines, from which cites, in which periods of the year, etc? And, as some countries are not open for outbound travel, China, and, with the war in Ukraine, Russia outbound, what may be alternatives. The likes of Thailand, Vietnam and the Maldives were very heavily dependent on Chinese and Russian tourists. Looking back pre-covid is not a solution. And, for the rest, let’s use this pause to re-set, and, re-look at who we want to our destinations. From which markets? Then study connectivity, and, can the tourist reach us? From which cities, and, with which carriers? With this at hand, it is time for the tourism board to take its place at the table with airlines and airports and build route connection business cases. This will emphasise that we need to work together to drive such potential and highlight how we can support the efforts both financially with incentives and campaigns

to give institutional support to the carrier that we are working in partnership with for tourism and route development. AIRLINES AND TOUR OPERATORS HAVE CHANGED THEIR BUSINESS MODELS We have also witnessed in the pandemic how airlines and tour operators have changed their business models. Pre-covid, aviation was very much focused on corporate/business travel, and, looking at how to make high prices and yield with the front-end of the aircraft. As business travel is not rebounding so quickly (as we continue the Teams and Zoom philosophy), many airlines are really developing their leisure proposition. Take Lufthansa as an example. During the pandemic they have launched a new leisure airline, that is focused on both short-haul and long-haul destinations. Eurowings Discover is the new name, operating Airbus A330 aircraft on long-haul routes (Barbados and Montego Bay in the Caribbean are being served) which have been learnt from the parent (Lufthansa). This allows Eurowings to now position to the travel trade in Germany that we have a leisure arm of Lufthansa available, that, can deliver your holiday needs. Fly Lufthansa for business to New

York, and, Eurowings Discover to your holiday destination. What this has really proved is that the traditional airlines are picking up on the new leisure travel trends, and, not sitting back hoping that corporate travel will return. DYNAMIC-PACKAGING For tour operators, that, for many years had followed very much a fully integrated vision; whereby we own the travel agency, the aircraft, and, the hotel that you stay-in. In essence, the strategy had been to acquire all areas of the tourism chain, from booking to sleeping. However, as the pandemic has hit the revenues, such a vision has been challenged, and, we are seeing many big tour operator groups selling their assets, and, working with what we now call, ‘Dynamic-Packaging’. Rather than owning the supply chain, let’s just own the customer. And, by owning the customer, they come to our channel to book a holiday, that, may now include a Eurowings Discover flight (where we have signed a volume-contract on seats), rather than having all the costs, and losses, of owning our own airline. In conclusion, this new dynamic model gives the operator more flexibility to work with airlines and tourism boards to develop new and exciting projects, and, can help with challenges such as seasonality.

BRINGING THIS BACK TO THE CARIBBEAN How can the destinations forge a closer relationship with their airports and instigate new discussions and conversations with airlines? How can changes in the supply work in favour of the destinations? During the forthcoming CARIBAVIA Conference in St Maarten, a focus is on pushing for the creation of air service organisations that allow for the islands to draw together the tourism boards, the airports, as well as the hotel and attractions companies to debate and discuss three key questions: 1. Which source markets do we believe can help build our tourism offer in the next five years? 2. From these markets, which cities/regions do we believe can sustain our offer? 3. To whom do we then need to talk to (airlines and tour operators), that can work with us to deliver our tourist levels?

Patient wins $375K negligence claim against InterHealth Canada TCI The TCI Hospital has been found negligent in failing to diagnose a malignant tumour in a timely fashion, leading to a recent judgement of $375,438.35 against the institution. The patient, Ronald Gula sued the hospital in 2020 for medical issues that arose between September 2016 and February 2018. In February 2018, following a colonoscopy at the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre (CHMC), a 6cm malignant tumour was discovered in the plaintiff’s colon which resulted in him undergoing emergency surgery in the United States. The plaintiff brought the medical negligence claim alleging that the defendant’s medical staff at CHMC were negligent in not performing a colonoscopy earlier, as suggested by his general practitioners. He claimed that this might have revealed the existence of the tumour before it became life-threatening, and at a stage when the procedure for its removal would have been a more routine one and its effects a less life changing experience for him and his family. In a judgement delivered last Friday, May 13, Justice Carlos Simmons found that it was the hospital’s negligence that caused the damage, loss and pain and suffering of which Mr Gula complained in his statement of claim, and that such damage, loss and pain and suffering was foreseeable. The hospital was found to be liable in clinical negligence in respect of its treatment of Mr Gula. The judge also accepted the evidence of Mr Gula’s expert and the hospital’s own expert that the tumour would have been discovered earlier had a colonoscopy been carried out. Having been satisfied of the hospital’s liability in negligence, the judge awarded damages in the sum of $375,438.35, for pain and suffering, loss of amenity, past loss of earnings and for past and future expenses. MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE Mr Gula – a resident of Providenciales - was represented in his case against the hospital by attorney Peter Karam, while the Hospital was represented by attorneys Selvyn Hawkins and Shantae Francis. The plaintiff says that the failure of the hospital’s medical staff to diagnose the tumour by performing the colonoscopy for a period of almost eighteen months and after

TCI InterHealth Canada Hospital, Cheshire Hall four referrals allowed it time to grow to the point where its removal could only be achieved by major surgery involving the removal of part of his colon. In his judgement, Judge Simmons said the essential facts of the case are not in dispute and are well documented on the papers. He said what was hotly disputed is the interpretation of those facts and the existence or non-existence of any duty arising from them, as outlined below. On September 5, 2016, after having presented to his doctors at Grace Bay Medical Centre (GBMC) complains of prolonged abdominal pains, no response to the prescribed treatment and having lost 20 pounds of his body weight, Mr Gula was referred to the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre by Dr Sam Slattery of GBMC. The referral was marked urgent and requested a consultation for “endoscopy OGD with biopsy? Colonoscopy if negative”. The reason for the referral was given as “gastritis and 2x of 3 fecal occult blood.” On December 5, 2016, Mr Gula’s symptoms having worsened, revisited his doctors at GBMC and was referred again to the hospital this time by Dr Meghan O’Reilly. This second referral mentioned the need for a colonoscopy due to “+ FOB borderline anemia”. The referral was classified as routine, although in her evidence to the court Dr O’Reilly said she was sure she had classified it as urgent, and that the classification was changed automatically and internally by the hospital’s portal that had been made available. In any event, Dr O’Reilly said in her evidence that she intended a

colonoscopy to be performed on an urgent basis and suggested that any doctor reading the referral would have understood that. On December 19, 2016, Mr Gula visited the hospital and was seen by a Dr Keresztely and following a brief consultation he was told by Dr Keresztley that he needed to undergo both a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy and that someone from the hospital would contact him for scheduling. However, no one did. The patient again visited the hospital on February 8, 2017, and at the time he was suffering from periodic “per rectum ‘mucus’. This time he was seen by Dr Bonnie Mauchaza, one of two general surgeons employed at the hospital. Mr Gula saw Dr. Mauchaza again on March 22, 2017, and on this occasion a prescription of omeprazole was issued. On August 22, 2017, Dr O’Reilly GBMC referred him for a third time to the hospital for a colonoscopy. The reasons stated – “2/3 + ve FOB fecal calprotectin 244 ongoing abdominal pain.” Eight weeks later, on October 18, 2017, Mr Gula was again seen by Dr. Mauchaza who booked a “non-urgent colonoscopy”. However, following the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria in September of 2017 and the devastation left in their wake, the hospital like most public services was operating on an emergency only basis and Mr Gula’s nonurgent colonoscopy was never scheduled. Following this, on February 15, 2018, Dr Slattery of GBMC made fourth referral for a colonoscopy. The request was marked urgent and the reasons for the referral

were stated as being “ongoing left side pain with bowel symptoms and change in bowel habits and elevated inflammatory markers and fecal calprotectin.” In his note to the hospital Dr Slattery also wrote: “This patient has been referred since 2016. Colonoscopy deferred by surgical team until December 2017. Still awaiting colonoscopy. Rigid sigmoidoscopy today shows noninflammatory rectum and lower sigmoid but mucus +++ and Stool.” Following this note, the colonoscopy was carried out, the tumour was discovered, and emergence life-saving surgery was undergone at the Cleveland Clinic in Florida. Two post-surgery side effects were Mr Gula’s intolerance to the chemotherapy treatment that was prescribed, and which had to be abandoned. The plaintiff also told the court that he also suffered from retrograde ejaculation which caused him and his wife great stress as the condition threatened their plans for a third child to complete their family. Fortunately, that hurdle had been passed as the couple do now have that third child. In his judgement, Judge Simmons found that the hospital owed Mr Gula a duty of care. He said the plaintiff’s complaint is not about treatment, but about a failure to diagnose his condition, a failure to discover the tumour by use of the only procedure that could have revealed it, a colonoscopy so that the proper treatment i.e., removal, could be applied. And this, despite very suggestive and successive referrals from Mr Gula’s doctors at GBMC.

“I find that a body of professional medical opinion that holds that there was no need to carry out a colonoscopy, even out of an abundance of caution, to be illogical, unreasonable, and irresponsible, given the plaintiff’s symptoms, and given the very suggestive and successive referrals from the plaintiff’s General Practitioners at GBMC. “I therefore find the defendant liable in clinical negligence in respect of its treatment of the plaintiff, and I am fortified in that view by the evidence of the defendant’s own expert, Professor Pat Price who obviously has a familiarity with giving expert testimony in these types of cases. “Dr Price was very professional, very dispassionate, and very balanced in her answers to Counsel’s questions. And on two separate occasions when asked, would the tumour have been discovered earlier had a colonoscopy been carried out, her answer was “yes”. “When asked whether this constituted negligence she expressly deferred to the Court. “That is the crux of the Plaintiff’s case against the Defendant, and the answer could not have been clearer.” Gula was awarded special damages of $163,484.35; another $58,166.38 for upcoming and future expenses due to loss of earnings; $61,945 for past loss of earnings and for the sexual dysfunction that resulted as well as aggravating facts of the plaintiff’s case, the judge granted him an award of $150,000. This monetary judgement outlined was the amount awarded before taxes.

1970s. I was immediately intrigued because I remembered how, when first arriving in the Turks and Caicos Islands, in 1989, I too was enormously impressed with the much lauded parks system. Maps of the National Parks could be found in local magazines and brochures and the fact that Grace Bay lay in the midst of the Princess Alexandra National Park was seen, and probably still is, as a major selling point of this newly discovered tourism destination. The journalistic challenge of contributing to an article about the National Parks System appeared simple enough: Have conversations with the individuals who were around at the time the parks were created, get some of current political figures on board, for some commentary, and finally gather some material — most

importantly maps! Easy enough you would conclude dear reader, and so did I. Think again. For yes, to be fair, both the Hon Premier and the Minister of Tourism were immediately supportive of my research, one could even say enthused, but when it came to the maps, the exercise suddenly took on a whole new dimension, which I honestly hadn’t foreseen, nor expected. Who is in charge ? To the lay person, who is looking to find maps, the ‘Survey and Mapping Department’ (SMD) would appear to be the logical, first port of call. And so, equipped with a very nicely worded letter from none other than the Hon Premier, I walked into the offices of said SMD. Now while you might be tempted to conclude that when the head of a government states that…“I would be appreciative for

any assistance that can be afforded to Mr de Boer”, the doors to the mapping archives would suddenly open, I have a some sobering news for you. They don’t. Part of the problem stems from the fact that there is no such, centralised archive, in addition to which the Survey and Mapping Department requires the permission from the Department of Environmental and Coastal Resources (DRCR) to be able to share their mapping material. Furthermore I was informed that permission for access to any mapping material for journalist research had to come from the AG Chambers, according to the Director of the SMD. After, what appeared to be an endless string of emails, texts, calls between bureaucrats, I finally got what I had been looking for, maps. The solution came in the form

of a very pragmatic suggestion by the Hon Attorney General, and a seemingly little known, but incredibly useful link to all the DECR maps and finally an exceedingly helpful department of planning in Grand Turk. To all of those individuals a BIG thank you! Sadly, in the end, my the map research efforts, proved too little too late as far as the geographical magazine article was concerned, for I had, not surprisingly, missed the deadline. Still, I ended up writing a story about Salt Cay, using one of the many maps I now have in my archive and to my great surprise this article was picked by a group of potential European investors, intending to bring a high end, eco tourism brand to the TCI. And so, as I sit here going over the ordeal of trying to conduct seemingly straight forward research which would eventually lead me down an entirely new road, I remember the words of National Geographic magazine’s first full-time editor, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, “A map is the greatest of all epic poems. It’s lines and colours show the realisation of great dreams”. I for one, happen to agree.

Government to inject $15m to boost armed forces in the TCI A whopping $15m will be spent to upgrade systems and equipment for the armed forces in the TCI over the next financial year. This upgrade will boost the capacity of various front line services. “We are investing over US $15m for systems and equipment upgrades for the TCI Regiment, Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF), and Border Control”, Premier Hon Washington Misick announced during his budget address on May 5. The territory’s leader further revealed that the Police Force is also currently recruiting 10 more detectives from the region to improve its capacity to solve serious crimes. He said: “More police patrols will be introduced as we have increased our mobile police units and community policing will also increase. “TCIG has focused on professionalising the Private Security Industry to further bolster our law enforcement arms and aid in increasing public safety across

South Caicos port will soon be upgraded MAJOR rehabilitation work on the South Caicos port, which sustained extensive damage during the 2017 storms, will soon get underway. This comes as Chairman of the Turks and Caicos Islands Ports Authority, Mr Urban Francis and Director of Island Drilling Ltd, Mr Rhone Kelly, signed a contract on Wednesday, May 11 for work to begin on the facility.

The project scope will include paving the container yard with two to four inches of asphalt covering an area of approximate 3,744 square feet; installing stripping or markings to identify traffic routes to enter the port as well as mapping out container storage locations, according to a statement issued by the Port Authority on Monday, May 16. The Port Authority said: “The

container yard pavement project is a continuation of the ongoing port rehabilitation project which is constructing a new concert bulkhead, sea defenses and a drainage system at the port.” The project which is expected to be completed in 90 days will improve the efficiency and safety of stevedoring services at the port, and create a safe working environment for port staff and

visitors. Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Hon Erwin Saunders underscored the importance of upgraded ports across the territory, during his budget presentation on Thursday, May 5. He said: “Good port facilities on all islands are a critical component of the development plans that our Government has for the country. “Over $65m is earmarked for

the development of ports over the next few years, including ongoing projects and ones under appraisal. “We are very pleased with the management and progress on the port development projects”, Saunders added. He stressed that the redevelopment and expansion of ports will support the long-term economic development of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Last week was the first annual Nurses’ Conference. (Photo with them clapping)

Nurses in the TCI lauded for their hard work and dedication NURSES and midwives in the Turks and Caicos Islands have been praised for their hard work, dedication and sacrifices at the first annual Nurses’ Conference. On Friday, May 6, the TCI joined the rest of the world in celebrating Nurses Week under the theme: “Nurses: A Voice to Lead Invest in nursing and respect rights to secure global health”. As part of the week’s activities, a two-day conference was held on May 11-12 at the Atrium Resort in Providenciales. Minister of Health and Human Services, Hon Jamell Robinson during his remarks at the opening of the conference, highlighted the important role nurses play in the healthcare ecosystem and thanked them for their unwavering dedication to the profession. He said: “Today, as we celebrate National Nurses Week, I along with those gathered here today wish to express our profound thanks to nurses all over the world, but especially to the nurses that care for our patients here in the Turks and Caicos Islands.” “Nurses and other health care professionals are faced with the management and treatment of persons on a daily basis.

“During the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw many being affected and our nurses were on the front line managing our patients with grace and humility. “ We salute you and say thank you, thank you for all you have done and all you continue to do.” He stressed that nursing continues to be at the forefront of healthcare in the TCI and as such, the Ministry of Health established the Nursing and Midwifery Council in 2019 which is responsible for the registration and licensing of nurses and midwives. He said: “This Council also has the powers to regulate nurses, establish and promote high standards of education and training and advise the Ministry of Health on appropriate matters concerning you, our nurses.” Robinson noted that the Nurses' Conference theme this year was fitting as it aptly captures the essence of their career. He said: “When we think about a nurse, there are several things that come to mind, but this particular meaning of the word nurse stands out to me- ‘’Nurse: just another word to describe a person strong enough to tolerate anything and soft enough to

Old Dogs, Sea Goddesses, and Sunny Bay Reef Elphina de Boer is a twelve-yearold amateur writer, photographer and animal lover, who lives on Salt Cay. After her dog, Storm, died on Easter Sunday 2022, she decided to dedicate a story to her in the hope that perhaps it will help others deal with the loss of a family pet. Here is her story: STORM One of the biggest wonders that came into my life was my amazing Belgian Shepard named Storm. We were both two years old when we met and 12 when she left. I went through hurricanes Irma and Maria on Salt Cay yet still, one of the most challenging phases I’ve been through was losing my longest best friend for 0 years on Easter 2022. Storm travelled over 4,000 miles (6.5km) from the UK to the Turks and Caicos Islands in 2016 and one of the first places she went to after arriving was also her favourite place…The beach. Her biggest obsession were rocks, some of them as heavy as 7kg! (15.5lb). And I believe Salt Cay provided rocks to her heart's content. Not long after her arrival in the TCI, Arthur, our potcake arrived, followed by Wally a year later who, after a while, with Storm as an influence, also loved rocks

Elphina de Boer albeit much smaller than Storms’. By the time Storm turned 12, she was deaf, partially blind, arthritic, had hardly any teeth from all her rocks, yet never complained and still looked like she was loving life at the beach. 17 days after her 12th Birthday, Stormy passed away peacefully in her sleep, with all of her family around her. Hours later, she was taken across the deep blue

Storm was a Belgian Shepherd. sea, the place which she loved most of all, thus making her our family sea goddess who looks over all the creatures of Sunny Bay Reef. The Sunny Bay Reef: just off the coast of Salt Cay is a place my dad and I made up whilst at the beach, it consists of many sea creatures, big and small, and of all different types. Sunny Bay Reef has a population of about 30, everyone with different

names and personalities, from the wise humpback Winston, to the aristocratic lobster Lawrence, and even Fanny, the very “down to earth” flounder. Stormy the Sea Goddess looks down over every creature on the reef and they can go to her for advice whenever they need it, she is the protector of the sea, and so whenever my family and I are on a boat or swimming

in the ocean, we know that Stormy the sea goddess will be there with us. So Storm, the amazing Belgium Shepard, started life as a police trained puppy in England, came to us and to the beaches of Turks and Caicos Islands and then finished her journey by becoming a sea goddess…That’s my Stormy and I’m sticking to it.

UN rights chief condemns ‘unimaginable’ violence in Haiti UN high commissioner for human rights Michelle Bachelet said Tuesday she was deeply disturbed by violence involving armed gangs in the Haitian capital Port-auPrince. Armed gangs have long had a presence in the poorer neighbourhoods of Port-au-Prince, but violence has intensified in recent years amid numerous assassinations and abductions. WHAT DID BACHELET SAY? “Armed violence has reached unimaginable and intolerable levels in Haiti,” Bachelet said. “It is crucial for urgent steps to be taken to restore the rule of law, to protect people from armed violence and to hold to account the political and economic sponsors of these gangs.” Bachelet said that the fragility of state institutions has fueled lawlessness and expressed fear that violence will continue to escalate. The former president of Chile and now UN human rights chief said gang violence had forced the closure of dozens of schools, businesses and markets. This has left many people struggling to get access to food. Gangs have also hampered major road links between the capital and the rest of

The sight of charred vehicles has become commonplace in Port-au-Prince. the country. This could “have long-term devastating impacts on the already difficult economic situation in Haiti,” the commissioner added. WHAT HAPPENED IN PORT-AU-PRINCE? The UN said that in Port-au-Prince alone at least 92 people unaffiliated with gangs and some 96 alleged gang members were killed during coordinated armed attacks in just over three weeks — between April 23 and May 16. The UN warned that the actual death toll could be far higher.

According to UN figures, 113 people were injured, 12 were reported missing and 49 were kidnapped for ransom. The UN statement said that extreme violence has been reported, including beheadings, the burning of bodies and the killing of minors accused of being informants for a rival gang. The UN reported that children as young as 10 had suffered sexual violence. Bachelet said the United Nations Security Council plans to debate the future mandate regarding the UN presence in Haiti in the coming weeks. (Dw.com)

Bahamas: 32-year-old accused of abusing girl, 5 A MAN was charged in a Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday with abusing a five-year-old girl. Renado Dorsett, 32, represented by attorney Barry Sawyer, stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on a charge of cruelty to children. Sometime between March 13 and 18 in New Providence, Dorsett is accused of physically abusing the girl, who is not related to Mr Dorsett. It was reported that after this incident the child was treated and discharged from a medical facility. In court, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge. Prosecutor Inspector Pyfrom informed the court Dorsett had antecedents, but none of a similar nature, with one currently unknown conviction from 2019. The prosecutor asked for a bail deferral so that the court would have time to properly research the accused’s criminal record. Mr Sawyer then argued that

the matter is not worth his client remaining in custody or being denied bail, as he indicated there were conflicting reports in the matter. Dorsett’s attorney said the child is predominantly in the custody of her biological father. After his lawyer’s appeal, Dorsett further begged the court to be granted bail. As he stated that he wanted to return home to provide for his girlfriend who is experiencing difficulties in the last trimester of her pregnancy. Dorsett told the court the currently does not reside with him, and that he personally took the girl to the Criminal Investigations Department after the alleged incident. When asked directly by the magistrate about his previous conviction, the accused claimed the only run-in with authorities he can recall is for breaking curfew in 2020. In view of the accused’s pleas for bail, Magistrate Kelly adjourned his bail hearing to Wednesday. (Tribune242)

Exuma Deaths: Family members call for autopsy in US FAMILY members of the three American tourists who were found dead at Sandals Emerald Bay resort in Exuma earlier this month want US pathologists to perform another autopsy on the victims, Health Minister Dr Michael Darville revealed on Tuesday. According to Dr Darville, those requests are currently being “entertained” by officials. This comes after Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper told reporters last week that autopsies of the American victims had already been completed. However, he noted the findings have not been released. “To my understanding, there is still some investigations ongoing at the Sandals resort,” Dr Darville said when asked for an update into investigations. “We also have the pathologist in (the) country who have done their job and samples were sent to a very reliable lab in the United States and a toxicology report was still outstanding.” “There was requests by family

they were stricken by an unknown illness. Police said the victims – all in their 60s - died sometime between 11pm on May 5 when they, along with Chiarella’s wife, Donnis - the lone survivor- visited the island’s clinic seeking medical attention for nausea and vomiting. Last week, investigators were said to be looking into several points of interest to determine the victims’ cause of deaths, including what they ate as well as whether any “contaminants” were present in the separate rooms where they were found. Relatives of all victims have since reacted to their deaths. “Our hearts are grieving and broken, but full of hope,” Kali Hanson said of her parents, the Phillips earlier this month. “We know our mom and dad are experiencing fullness of joy in our heavenly father’s presence. We already miss them terribly. Our parents left a legacy of faith in Jesus and generously loved their family and friends.

Cayman Islands back on NY Times Covid hot spots list THE Cayman Islands has once again been added to The New York Times COVID-19 hot spots list, ranking seventh in the world in cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days. Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands continue to record a spike in reported COVID cases. As of Tuesday, 17 May, Public Health said there were 1,752 estimated active cases of COVID-19 in the Cayman Islands, with 14 people hospitalised for COVID-19-related causes. Of those in hospital, six are vaccinated. Cayman has recorded 28 COVID-related deaths since the start of the pandemic. According to The New York Times statistics, Cayman has registered more than a 60%

increase in cases over the last 14 days: The seven-day rolling average for 17 May remains over 100, at 114. Over the last four days, there have been 399 confirmed cases of COVID. Last week, interim Chief Medical Officer Dr Autilia Newton noted the increase in cases, saying in a statement that she did not wish to raise the alarm but asked the community for heightened awareness amidst the current wave of positives. “Living with COVID-19 requires us to acknowledge the threat the virus poses to us; and to respect that the infection control measures in place, especially indoor mask wearing, are in the best interest of the entire community,”

According to The New York Times statistics, Cayman has registered more than a 60% increase in cases over the last two weeks. she said in her statement. She pointed out that, fortunately, during this new wave, Cayman has not seen the high level of hospitalisations that occurred prior to the vaccine becoming available. “It is for this reason that eligible persons who have not yet sought booster doses of the COVID-19

vaccine should do so as soon as possible to maintain the Cayman Islands’ level of vaccine coverage,” Newton said. Public Health also reminded in its statement that it is mandatory to report a positive lateral flow test, for both clinical and epidemiological purposes.

Those over 18 years old who have received both primary doses of the COVID-19 vaccine more than three months ago, and those who have received their third dose more than six months ago, the statement added, are eligible for COVID-19 vaccine boosters. (Cayman Compass)

Cannabis on the agenda as UK official visits Bermuda TALKS on the Government’s stalled bid to get its controversial cannabis plans into law will be held with a senior British official this week. Paul Candler, the director of Overseas Territories at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, was expected to travel to the island for discussions. Referring to the constitutional stand-off over the push by David Burt, the Premier, to legalise consumption and production of cannabis, a government spokesperson told The Royal Gazette that Mr Candler would be in Bermuda this week “for meetings, and the matter will form part of those discussions”. In what was widely seen as a compromise move, Rena Lalgie, the Governor, reserved giving assent to the Cannabis Licensing Bill last week rather than refuse it outright at this stage. However, the sensitive issue could trigger a constitutional crisis. The Governor said that the legislation contravened international treaty obligations undertaken by Bermuda and the UK and urged talks between Hamilton and London to find a way forward on the emotive issue. The response from David Burt,

Paul Candler, the director of Overseas Territories at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office. the Premier, has been noticeably muted. Previously, he insisted that failure for the Bill to become law would “destroy” the island’s relationship with the UK. The spokesperson confirmed that the Governor’s letter on the Cannabis Licensing Bill was received by the Government last Thursday, the same day it was made public. Mr Candler’s previous roles in the British civil service have

included director of international, rights and constitutional policy at the Ministry of Justice. His responsibilities there included overseeing the UK Government’s relations with the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, and supporting the justice systems of the Overseas Territories. The Governor said that the Cannabis Licensing Act 2022 appeared to her to be “inconsistent”

with what she understood to be obligations held by the UK and Bermuda under UN Conventions, but she appeared to be sympathetic to the aims of the legislation. Ms Lalgie stated that she had “no choice” but to reserve assent for the Bill and to notify British foreign secretary Liz Truss on the matter. The Governor said: “I hope that Bermudian officials will work together with UK officials to find a way forward – one that does not result in life-changing criminal records for users of small amounts of cannabis and unlocks commercial opportunities, while maintaining Bermuda’s excellent reputation for upholding the rule of law. “The UK has supported, and is currently assisting, some of the Crown Dependencies and other Overseas Territories to develop a way which is compliant with the relevant conventions.” There was a delay of more than a month between the Cannabis Licensing Act passing Parliament on March 30 and being sent to the Governor for consideration. One Bermuda Alliance former premier Craig Cannonier insisted that the time lag was “unusual” and suggested it may have been caused by behind the scenes

communications on the issue between the Government and Downing Street. The OBA has accused the PLP of using the bid for liberalisation of cannabis laws as a “smokescreen” for a push towards independence. After being rejected by the Senate last year, the Bill returned to Parliament in February and passed the House of Assembly 18-6. Forty per cent of the PLP’s House of Assembly contingent – 12 MPs – failed to vote for the Bill, although some of them were overseas at the time. Then the legislation tied in the Senate 5-5, but the Upper House no longer had the power to block it. Mr Burt has previously said: “If Her Majesty’s representative in Bermuda does not give assent to something that has been passed lawfully and legally under this local government, this will destroy the relationship we had with the United Kingdom.” The Government admitted last year that its cannabis plans went beyond the limits of international conventions on drugs, which the UK has signed up to, and that the legislation was not in line with the UK’s obligations under the UN’s 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.

PM Johnson will not face a further Partygate fine, says No 10 PRIME Minister Boris Johnson has been told he faces no further action after police closed their Partygate investigation, No 10 says. Mr Johnson’s wife, Carrie, will also not receive a further fine. They were both fined last month for breaking Covid laws at a birthday party for Mr Johnson in Downing Street in June 2020. Metropolitan Police said the inquiry into lockdown breaches in and around Downing Street has now come to an end. It resulted in a total of 126 fines, known as Fixed Penalty Notices, being issued for events across eight different dates. In total 83 people have been issued with fines, the force added, with 28 people facing between two and five fines. The ending of the police inquiry paves the way for the publication of the full report by senior civil servant Sue Gray into lockdown gatherings. The full report is expected to be published next week. Opposition parties have demanded it is

The end of the police inquiry means the prime minister has not been fined for a garden party in Downing Street he attended in May 2020, to which as many as 100 people were invited. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the number of fines showed

there had been “industrial-scale lawbreaking in Downing Street”. He added that his opinion of the prime minister had not changed and that “of course he should resign”. A separate inquiry, by Durham police, into whether Sir Keir broke Covid laws at a Labour campaign event in the city in 2021 remains

ongoing. Sir Keir has pledged he will quit as Labour leader if he receives a Fixed Penalty Notice over that event. ‘SOMEONE’S HOME’ The Met confirmed other people have been fined for the event

- one of the gatherings it was investigating that attracted fines. Mr Johnson has previously apologised for attending the event for 25 minutes. He said he had “believed implicitly” it was a work event. The events resulting in fines took place between May 2020 and April 2021, with different Covid rules in place at different times. Acting Deputy Commissioner Helen Ball said whether an event had taken place in “someone’s home” had been a factor in deciding whether to issue fines. The Met said it would not be identifying any recipients of fines from its investigation, which had involved 12 detectives and cost £460,000. The force added that its investigation involved examining 510 photographs, as well as CCTV images, emails, diary entries and witness statements. Police also examined 204 questionnaires from people who were at the events. There were no interviews under caution. (BBC)

Sri Lanka defaults on debt for first time in its history SRI Lanka has defaulted on its debt for the first time in its history as the country struggles with its worst financial crisis in more than 70 years. It comes after a 30 day grace period to repay $78m (£63m) of unpaid debt interest payments expired on Wednesday. The governor of Sri Lanka’s central bank said the country was now in a “pre-emptive default”. Defaults happen when governments are unable to meet some or all of their debt payments to creditors. It can damage a country’s reputation, making it harder to borrow the money it needs on international markets, which can further harm confidence in its currency and economy. Asked whether the country was now in default, central bank governor P Nandalal Weerasinghe said: “Our position is very clear, we said that until they come to the restructure, we will not be able to pay. So that’s what you call preemptive default. “There can be technical definitions... from their side they

can consider it a default. Our position is very clear, until there is a debt restructure, we cannot repay,” he added. Sri Lanka’s economy has been hit hard by the pandemic, rising energy prices, and populist tax cuts. A chronic shortage of foreign currency and soaring inflation had led to a severe shortage of medicines, fuel and other essentials. In recent weeks, there have been large, sometimes violent, protests against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his family due to the growing crisis. The country has already started talks with the International Monetary Fund over a bailout and needs to renegotiate its debt agreements with creditors. The government has said previously that it needs as much as $4bn this year. Mr Weerasinghe also warned that Sri Lanka’s already very high rate of inflation was likely to rise further. “Inflation obviously is around 30%. It will go even [higher], headline inflation will go around

Sri Lanka’s economy has been hit hard by the pandemic, rising energy prices, and populist tax cuts. 40% in the next couple of months,” he said. He was speaking after Sri Lanka’s central bank held its two key interest rates steady following a seven percentage points rise at its last meeting. The country’s main lending rate remained at 14.5%, while the deposit rate was kept at 13.5% Last month, two of the world’s largest credit rating agencies warned Sri Lanka was about to default on its debts. Fitch Ratings lowered its assessment of the South Asian

nation, saying “a sovereign default process has begun”. S&P Global Ratings made a similar announcement and said that a default is now a “virtual certainty”. Credit ratings are intended to help investors understand the level of risk they face when buying a financial instrument, in this case a country’s debt - or sovereign bond. After being contacted by the BBC on Thursday, major credit ratings agencies Moody’s and Fitch said that they did not have

any new updates at this time. S&P Global Ratings did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC. Last week, President Rajapaksa’s elder brother Mahinda resigned as prime minister after government supporters clashed with protesters. Nine people died and more than 300 were wounded in the violence. On Friday, Sri Lanka’s new prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told the BBC, that the economic crisis was “going to get worse before it gets better”.

Michael Sussmann: Clinton lawyer ‘lied to manipulate FBI over Trump’ A LAWYER for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign lied to the FBI to “manipulate” the agency in order to win the election, a court has heard. Arguments in the trial of Michael Sussmann have begun with prosecutors saying he hoped to create an “October surprise” in the race’s final weeks. Mr Sussmann has pleaded not guilty. He is the first defendant to go on trial in an investigation into the FBI’s original probe to find if Donald Trump was conspiring with Russia. The charges arise from a meeting between Mr Sussmann, a cyber-security lawyer, and an FBI agent in 2016. Mr Sussmann presented what he claimed was evidence of suspicious internet traffic connecting the Trump Organization to Russia’s Alfa Bank. The FBI looked into the allegation and found nothing suspicious.

Prosecutors say Mr Sussmann lied by not disclosing in the meeting that he was working for the Democrat’s campaign. The indictment charges that he claimed not to be representing any particular client and that he presented himself purely as a concerned citizen. A lawyer for Mr Sussmann denounced the trial as an “injustice” at Tuesday’s hearing in a Washington DC federal courthouse. Mr Sussmann is being charged by US Department of Justice Special Counsel John Durham, who was picked by the attorney general under President Trump in 2019 to investigate FBI misconduct in the original Trump-Russia investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The Mueller inquiry concluded in 2019 that it could find no evidence of any criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, though it did determine Russia had sought to

Michael Sussmann has pleaded not guilty. help Mr Trump win. President Trump always said the Mueller inquiry was biased against him. In court on Tuesday, prosecutor Brittain Shaw argued that Mr Sussmann had hoped to drop a bombshell in the final days of the November 2016 race. “This case was about privilege,” Ms Shaw said, describing the defendant as a “high-powered DC lawyer”. Lawyers for Mr Sussmann called the government’s argument “nonsensical”, arguing that the FBI would have known he had

represented the Democratic National Committee earlier that year after their computer servers were hacked. Also on Tuesday, prosecutors revealed what led the FBI to conclude that the evidence provided by Mr Sussmann did not prove any Russian collusion. The server at the Trump Organization uncovered by Mr Sussmann “was merely a spam email server used for sending out marketing emails”, Ms Shaw told the jury. “The server did not reflect a crime, nor was it a threat to national

security,” she added. Two other people have been charged with crimes as part of Mr Durham’s probe. One pleaded guilty in 2020 to altering evidence that was used to secure an FBI wiretap on Trump aide Carter Page. In the other case, a Russia analyst has been charged with lying to the FBI about his sources. Though there is no evidence that Mrs Clinton herself directed the alleged Sussmann smear, political opponents have poured scorn on her remarks this month warning about the dangers of disinformation and conspiracy theories.

US revises Cuba policy, eases restrictions on remittances, travel THE United States this week announced a series of steps to revise its policy toward Cuba, including easing some Trump-era restrictions on family remittances and travel to the island and sharply increasing the processing of U.S. visas for Cubans. The measures, which were rolled out after a lengthy U.S. government review, mark the most significant changes in the U.S. approach to Havana since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. But the announcement stopped short of returning U.S.Cuba relations to the historic rapprochement engineered by former President Barack Obama, under whom Biden served as vice president. That included less crimped flow of remittances, fewer travel curbs and faster visa services. U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price in a statement said the measures announced yesterday were to “further support the Cuban people, providing them additional tools

The US embassy in Havana Cuba. to pursue a life free from Cuban government oppression and to seek greater economic opportunities.” The State Department said the United States would lift the cap on family remittances, previously set

to $1,000 per quarter, and authorize donative remittances to non-family members. But it made clear that the United States would not remove entities from the Cuba Restricted List, a

State Department list of Cuban government- and military-aligned companies with whom U.S. firms and citizens are barred from doing business. “We are going to ensure that

remittances flow more freely to the Cuban people, while not enriching those who perpetrate human rights abuses,” an administration official said. The United States will use “electronic payment processors” for remittances to avoid funds going directly to the Cuban government, an official said, adding that the United States had already engaged with the Cuban government “about establishing a civilian processor for this.” Biden officials have been mindful that easing restrictions on the communist-run island could lead to political fallout from conservative Cuban Americans, a key voting bloc in south Florida who mostly backed former President Donald Trump’s tough policies on Cuba. Senator Bob Menendez, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement: “Today’s announcement risks sending the wrong message to the wrong people, at the wrong time and for all the wrong reasons.”

Platinum Jubilee concert: Diana Ross and Queen to perform for the Queen DIANA Ross, Queen and Adam Lambert, Duran Duran and Sir Rod Stewart will perform at a starstudded concert to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, Mabel and Eurovision singer Sam Ryder will also appear in front of Buckingham Palace. The Platinum Party at the Palace will be watched by 22,000 people live and will be broadcast on BBC One on 4 June. Queen guitarist Brian May will return, 20 years after he famously performed on the palace roof for the Golden Jubilee. The legendary pop group and their frontman Lambert will open the concert to mark the monarch’s 70 years on the throne. May hinted that he may pop up in an unexpected location this time, saying in a statement: “There was a moment when I wondered, after Buckingham Palace roof where can you go? Well… you will see!” The show will be closed by

veteran soul singer Ross, who said she was “absolutely delighted to receive an invitation to perform on such a momentous and historic occasion”. Other musicians on the bill include Craig David, Ella Eyre, Elbow, Jax Jones, Celeste, Andrea Bocelli, Sigala and Nile Rogers. Sir Elton John will take part too, although his performance will be pre-recorded because he is currently on a European tour. In addition to the musical performances, there will be appearances from film, TV and sports stars such as Sir David Attenborough, Emma Raducanu, David Beckham, Stephen Fry and Dame Julie Andrews. Some will be there in person, with others seen on screen. The BBC said the evening would “pivot around global themes that have been born, or evolved, during the breadth of Her Majesty’s reign”. Those themes include fashion, sport, the environment and pop music and musicals from the

The concert will be one of the centrepieces of the Jubilee celebrations, which will take place over a festive four-day bank

holiday weekend in June. Other events will include a carnival pageant on the streets of London, featuring performances by Ed Sheeran and Sir Cliff Richard; while the weekend will also see Jubilee lunches and the lighting of beacons across the world. The two-and-a-half-hour Platinum concert will feature three stages and 3D projections across the face of the palace.

Ross’s performance at the event will kick off a series of live UK gigs, including a slot at the Glastonbury Festival on 26 June. In a statement, the singer said: “I have had the honour of meeting The Queen many times throughout my life, including when I was with my family. Her Majesty has and continues to be such an incredible inspiration to so many across the world.”

Netflix cuts 150 US-based jobs after losing subscribers NETFLIX has made about 150 staff redundant, a month after the streaming service said it was losing subscribers for the first time in a decade. The redundancies, announced by the entertainment giant on Tuesday, will mainly affect its US office in California. They account for about 2% of its North American workforce. Netflix said the job losses were due to the slump in the company’s revenue. The streaming service is battling an exodus of viewers this year. “These changes are primarily driven by business needs rather than individual performance, which makes them especially tough as none of us want to say goodbye to such great colleagues,” the company said in a statement. It wasn’t disclosed which parts of the business would see job losses,

but the Los Angeles Times reported that recruiting, communications and also the content department were all affected. Some people also disclosed their job loss online. In April, the streaming giant shocked the industry when it revealed it had lost 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2022, and warned another two million were expected to quit in the coming quarter. The news sparked an investor sell-off, with the firm’s stock plunging 35% in one day. It is now trading at $190 (£152), a 46% drop on its previous premium. While Netflix has 220 million subscribers globally and remains the clear market leader, it has faced fierce competition in recent years with the arrival of competitor platforms such as Disney Plus, HBO, and Amazon’s Prime Video.

Netflix said the job losses were due to the slump in the company’s revenue. In its earnings report last month, the company also said the war in Ukraine and the decision to raise its prices in the US had cost it subscribers. Pulling out of the Russian market alone had cost the service 700,000 members, it revealed. Along with job losses, the company is also cutting content and pulling back on its own

creations. Earlier in May it cancelled development of Pearl, an animated series created by Meghan Markle, in its move to cut costs. Some analysts say that after a surge in sign-ups during the pandemic, Netflix has run out of easy ways to grow the business. The company says it’s looking at a cheaper, ad-based model and also planning on cracking down on

password sharing which has cost it 100 million households. Netflix is not alone in making job cuts. In recent weeks, a slew of US tech companies from startups to big names such as Uber and Twitter have said they are slowing or freezing hiring, or, like online car sales firm Carvana, announced redundancies, citing a downturn.

‘Smart’ contact lens could help treat a leading cause of blindness, scientists say A FLEXIBLE contact lens that senses eye pressure and releases a drug on-demand could help treat glaucoma, the second leading global cause of blindness worldwide. The compact wireless device, which has been developed by a team of Chinese researchers and tested in pig and rabbit eyes so far, appears to detect and reduce rising eye pressure, one of the usual causes of glaucoma. Glaucoma is an umbrella term for a group of eye diseases where damage to the optic nerve, which relays visual information to the brain, causes irreversible vision loss and blindness in millions of people worldwide. Where this new research makes ground is in developing a device capable of detecting changes in eye pressure and delivering therapeutic drugs as needed.

Recent efforts to develop smart contact lenses as wearable devices for treating eye conditions have either focused on sensing pressure changes in the eye or delivering a drug – but not both – and glaucoma treatment usually involves eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery to reduce eye pressure While it sounds exciting, keep in mind that as scientists continue experimenting with all sorts of nifty devices for treating eye diseases, early detection of glaucoma and timely treatment remains vital. “Once detected, therapy for glaucoma can arrest or slow its deterioration in the majority of cases,” Jaimie Steinmetz, a research scientist at the Washington-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, and collaborators wrote in 2020 when analyzing the global burden of eye

engineering challenge. For something like this to work, it needs to be sensitive enough to detect pressure changes and release precise amounts of drug on demand – all without blocking vision and irritating the eye. “It is highly challenging to install an intricate theranostic system composited by multi-modules on a contact lens,” electrical engineer Cheng Yang of Sun Yat-Sen University and colleagues write in their paper. But it seems Yang and colleagues have made progress – at least in fabricating a prototype lens that has multiple sensors embedded within it to avoid possible eye irritation and a unique lasercut snowflake design. It’s designed for treating acute angle-closure glaucoma, a less common form of glaucoma that can occur with a sudden or gradual build-up of fluid pressure inside the eye. According to the researchers, the double-layered lens is coated with an antiglaucoma drug, brimonidine, and sandwiches an ultra-thin air film in between. This air film hooks into a cantilevered electrical circuit which senses changes in intraocular pressure when the air pocket is compressed by outward pressure from the eye.

Monkeypox cases increases in Europe MONKEYPOX cases have been reported in Spain, the UK, and Portugal, and disease experts are urgently investigating its unusual spread. The monkeypox virus can cause pus-filled boils and kills 1%-10% of those that catch it, according to the World Health Organization. It doesn’t typically spread easily among humans, and as such officials are urgently investigating the current outbreaks. Seven monkeypox cases have been diagnosed in the UK since May 6, officials confirmed on Monday. On Wednesday, Portuguese authorities reported five local cases, and their Spanish counterparts reported eight suspected cases, according to Reuters. A US Centers for Disesase Control and Prevention (CDC) official expressed concern on

Tuesday that this version of monkeypox could be novel, and that the potentially deadly condition that could soon be detected beyond Europe. Speaking to STAT, Jennifer McQuiston, a senior official at the CDC, said: “We do have a level of concern that this is very different than what we typically think of from monkeypox. And I think we have some concern that there could be spread outside the UK associated with this.” As officials study where and how the individuals across Europe became infected, they are sharing tell-tale signs of infection. SYMPTOMS OF MONKEYPOX Typically monkeypox causes a mild illness that lasts two to four weeks. It can take between five to

21 days to develop symptoms after catching the virus. Initial symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion. A rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body can then occur within one to three days of a person developing a fever.

The rash begins as flat, red bumps, that form into blisters that fill with pus. These boils crust over and fall off after several days. There is currently no proven treatment for monkeypox. QUESTIONS ABOUT SEXUAL TRANSMISSION Four of the cases self-identified as

Climate change swells odds of record India, Pakistan heatwaves CLIMATE change makes recordbreaking heatwaves in northwest India and Pakistan 100 times more likely, a Met Office study finds. The region should now expect a heatwave that exceeds the record temperatures seen in 2010 once every three years. Without climate change, such extreme temperatures would occur only once every 312 years, the Met Office says. Forecasters say temperatures in north-west India could reach new highs in the coming days. The new analysis comes as a State of the Climate report from the World Meteorological Organisation, the UN’s atmospheric science arm, warns that four key indicators of climate change set new records in 2021 - greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, ocean heat and ocean acidification. The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres described the report as “a dismal litany of humanity’s failure to tackle climate disruption.” The extreme pre-monsoon heatwave the region northwest India and Pakistan have suffered in recent weeks eased a little after peak temperatures reached 51C in

Taking shelter from the scorching heat in Delhi.

Pakistan on Saturday. But the heat looks likely to build again towards the end of this week and into the weekend, the Met Office’s Global Guidance Unit warns. It says maximum temperatures are likely to reach 50C in some

spots, with continued very high overnight temperatures. “Spells of heat have always been a feature of the region’s premonsoon climate during April and May,” says Dr Nikos Christidis, who led the team responsible for today’s study.

“However, our study shows that climate change is driving the heat intensity of these spells making record-breaking temperatures 100 times more likely.” The new study is based on the heatwave that gripped northwest India and Pakistan in April and May

2010 when the region experienced the highest combined April and May average temperature since 1900. It attempts to estimate the extent to which climate change made that and future events more likely. These “attribution studies” involve running computer simulations comparing how frequently a weather event is likely to occur in two scenarios. One models the climate as it is today, the other a climate where the human influence on greenhouse gases and other drivers of climate change has been removed. The scenarios are run through 14 different computer models and produce dozens of different simulations which are compared to work out how climate change has altered the probability of an event happening. The Met Office used the same method to assess the impact of future climate change and warns that worse is to come. If climate change follows the Met Office’s central predictions, by the end of the century India and Pakistan can expect similarly high temperatures virtually every year, today’s study suggests.

Ancient tooth proves extinct species lived over 130,000 years ago REMAINS of a now-extinct ancient human species called Denisovans were found in southeast Asia for the first time. Scientists were seeking remains from Denisovans in the area because they knew that some of their genes have been passed on to modern human populations in southeast Asia today. But until now, scientists had not been able to formally place them there. A single tooth more than 130,000 years old that belonged to a young Denisovan was found in a cave in Laos. “That was kind of the big mystery: why is Denisovan DNA found in these southeast Asian populations, but not found in Eurasia or anywhere else,” Mike Morley, an associate professor from the Microarchaeology Laboratory at Flinders University and an author on the study, said in a press release. “This is the kind of ‘smoking gun,’ this tooth,” he said. The tooth was found in a cave site named Tam Ngu Hao 2 in Laos in 2018. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications

A portrait of a juvenile female Denisovan based on a skeletal profile reconstructed from ancient DNA methylation maps.

on Tuesday. Denisovans are a species of ancient humans. Like the Neanderthals, Homo naledi, or Homo bodoensis, they have gone extinct while modern humans survived. This subgroup of ancient humans has been particularly

elusive because very few remains have been discovered to date. Most of the remains have been found in the Denisova cave in Siberia, thousands of miles North of Laos. But scientists knew these ancient humans must have gone down as far as southeast Asia,

where they would have crossed paths with modern humans. A 2020 study found that a small number of Denisovan genes can be found in some populations in southeast Asia. The Laos discovery is only the second to place Denisovan outside of Siberia. This cave, where the first Denisovan remains were found in 2008, was likely inhabited by Denisovans about 300,000 years ago to about 50,000 years ago. It has taught us that these humans likely used stone tools and that they likely interbred with humans and neanderthals. A 2020 study revealed a jawbone found in Baishiya Karst Cave in Tibet, Xiahe County, Gansu, China, was from a Denisovan that lived about 160,000 years old. CLUES REVEAL THE TOOTH’S ORIGIN The conditions in the cave mean the tooth’s DNA has been too badly preserved to be read. But scientists found other clues about its origins. An analysis of the proteins in the tooth revealed it likely belonged to a girl, aged 3.5 to 8.5 years old.

The tooth’s internal structure also resembles the shape of those found in the Tibetan specimen of Denisovans, which indicates the child was Denisovan. The rock around the tooth could also be dated, which indicates the child lived between 164,000 and 131,000 years ago. The scientists were first told about the fossil-rich cave by local children in 2018, Laura Shackelford, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Illinois and a co-author of the study, told The New York Times. When they reached the closetsized cavity where the children said they found the bones “all you could see were bones and teeth, embedded in the walls and in the ceiling of this cave,” said Shakelford. “They were just sort of everywhere,” she said, per the Times. Most of these were bones from pigs, deer, and pygmy elephants, which had teeth marks suggesting they were part of a meal, the Times reported. But among the fossils, the scientists found a single tooth belonging to the ancient human. (Business Insider)

Farm machinery exacting heavy toll on soil - study SCIENTISTS say massive tractors could be damaging up to a fifth of global land used to grow crops. The weight of modern combine harvesters, tractors and other farm machinery risks compacting the soil, leading to flooding and poor harvests, according to researchers in Sweden. And in their scientific paper, they raise a curious question. How did giant dinosaurs, which outweighed machines, survive without trampling the soil to smithereens? The researchers calculated that combine harvesters, when fully loaded, have ballooned in size from about 4,000kg in 1958 to around 36,000kg in 2020. (In contrast, the likes of brontosaurus weighed about twice the larger figure.)

In soil that has been squashed by a heavy weight, air is forced out and the soil becomes compacted. This makes it difficult for plants to put down roots and draw up nutrients, and the land is prone to flooding. The researchers think the growing weight of farm machinery poses a threat to agricultural productivity. Their analysis, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests combine harvesters could be damaging up to a fifth of the global land used to grow crops. Thomas Keller, professor of soil management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden, says machinery should be designed not to exceed a certain load.

The researchers think the growing weight of farm machinery poses a threat to agricultural productivity.

“Compaction can happen within a few seconds when we drive on the soil, but it can take decades for that soil to recover,” he said. However, the heft of modern harvesters is outweighed by longnecked plant-eating dinosaurs

such as brontosaurus, which once roamed the Earth. This raises a conundrum: how did the extinct creatures thrive in the ecosystems they likely altered as they stomped across the ground? Prof Thomas Keller suggests the

giant plant-eaters might have stuck to paths, using their long necks to reach out for nearby vegetation. “We think that maybe they didn’t just walk around randomly across the landscape,” he explained. (BBC)

Girmay becomes first black African to win Grand Tour stage BINIAM Girmay made history as the first black African winner of a Grand Tour stage - but then had to go to hospital after an accident while celebrating. Eritrea’s Girmay, 22, beat Mathieu van der Poel in a sprint for the line to win stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia. But he missed a post-race news conference to go for a hospital check-up after hitting himself in his left eye with a prosecco cork on the podium. His team said he later returned to celebrate his win with his teammates. Girmay, who rides for Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert, is making his Grand Tour debut at this year’s Giro. As he raced for the line to win the stage, he received a congratulatory

thumbs-up from Van der Poel as the Dutch superstar conceded defeat. Van der Poel then embraced the Eritrean rider at the finish in Jesi. “It’s unbelievable,” said Girmay immediately after the race. “Every day brings new history so I’m really grateful and happy. “Since the start, we controlled [the stage]. I don’t have any words for my team for what they did today.” Girmay was expected to challenge for a stage victory after becoming the first black African to win a World Tour race at Belgium’s Gent-Wevelgem classic in March. After a rest day on Monday, the race resumed with a 194km ride from the coastal town of Pescara to Jesi. Girmay nearly missed a left

turn with just over 6km to go but recovered to hold off Van der Poel, who edged out the Eritrean to take this year’s opening stage on 6 May. Spain’s Juan Pedro Lopez retained his 12-second lead over Portugal’s Joao Almeida to hold on to the pink jersey. “When we started the Giro, we knew we had a possibility to win so this is all part of the success of our team, my family, everybody,” Girmay added.

Richard Carapaz, the 2019 winner, finished in the top five after fighting back from a small crash but there was no change in the general classification standings, with the main contenders finishing in the group behind Girmay. “At the finish it was an amazing sprint against a big champion,” said Valerio Piva, IntermarcheWanty-Gobert’s sports director. “This victory is more important because [Girmay] beat one of the

top riders in the world. “Some days ago we believed we could win this stage so this morning we tried to motivate all the team, and I saw a fantastic team around him today. “It means a lot. To have a new continent at the top is important for cycling.” Stage 11 on Wednesday is a 203km flat route from Santarcangelo di Romagna to Reggio Emilia. (BBC)

Qatar World Cup: Amnesty calls on Fifa to set up £350m fund for migrant workers FIFA has been urged to set up a compensation fund of at least $440m (£350m) for migrant workers who have suffered “human rights abuses” during preparations for the Qatar World Cup. Amnesty International made the request in a letter to Fifa president Gianni Infantino. The letter states: “Until all workers are compensated, the tournament cannot be truly celebrated.” The sum suggested is equal to the 2022 World Cup prize money fund. It is estimated up to 30,000 migrant labourers have been used on projects to build seven stadiums for the finals in Qatar, as well as a new airport, new metro and new roads. Amnesty, along with other human rights organisations and fans’ groups, have called on Fifa not only to support workers who have died or been injured, but who have had pay withheld by employers or been forced to pay recruitment fees in order to secure work. Amnesty International’s UK chief executive Sacha Deshmukh

It is estimated up to 30,000 migrant labourers have been used on the projects.

said there was a role to play for the England team, manager Gareth Southgate and the Football Association to put pressure on Fifa to act. “Thousands of migrant workers

have been exploited and many have tragically died to make this World Cup possible, so we hope the FA and Gareth Southgate and the players will back this innovative scheme to secure much-needed

compensation for long-suffering workers’ families,” he said. “Nothing can bring dead workers back to life or restore the dignity of those who were trapped in conditions amounting to

modern-day slavery during Qatar’s World Cup building boom, but a Fifa workers’ fund would still be an important move.” Fifa said it was assessing the programme proposed by Amnesty and was already looking at ways to compensate workers in association with the organising committee. “Through the recruitment fee reimbursement scheme, for example, both Fifa World Cup and non-Fifa World Cup workers have received payments of a total $22.6m (£18m) as of December 2021, with an additional $5.7m (£4.5m) committed by contractors,” it said. Qatar’s World Cup organisers added they had “worked tirelessly” with international groups for the rights of workers on stadiums and other tournament projects. A spokesperson for the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy said: “Significant improvements have been made across accommodation standards, health and safety regulations, grievance mechanisms, healthcare provision, and reimbursements of illegal recruitment fees to workers.” (BBC)

Liverpool win takes Premier League title race to the last day AND still there is hope for Liverpool. A come-from-behind 2-1 win against Southampton on Tuesday night means Jurgen Klopp’s men have a chance of winning the English Premier League this weekend. It is, as Klopp himself said after the match, “not likely but possible” as Manchester City, the league’s leader, is a point ahead and can secure a third title in four seasons if it beats Aston Villa at home Sunday. But Villa is managed by Liverpool’s celebrated former captain Steven Gerrard and playing a part in helping Liverpool secure its 20th top-flight title would be redemption for a man who never won the league with his hometown club. That would be the sort of fanciful story written by a Hollywood scriptwriter, but stranger things have happened in football. After all, at the start of the year, Liverpool trailed City by 14 points -- but 15 league victories and two draws in the league since

Southampton’s Mohammed Salisu, left, challenges for the ball with Liverpool’s Takumi Minamino.

January 15 have given the Reds a chance of a second title under Klopp. “If I was in the other situation, then I don’t feel like I am champion already. From my point of view, in

second, you are thinking that, of course, City will win that game. But it is football,” Klopp told reporters. “So many things happen during this second part of the season.

I think if we would become champions it would be deserved as well, but for that we have to win and then we have to see.” Liverpool must focus on its next match, in beating Wolves at

Anfield, and hope Villa plays its part in maintaining Klopp’s quest for the quadruple -- securing all three domestic trophies and the Champions League. It bodes well for Klopp that he made nine changes to the team which beat Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup final Sunday and still overcame Southampton away. Takumi Minamino and Joel Matip scored for the Reds at St Mary’s after Nathan Redmond had given Southampton an early lead. “I saw incredible performances,” said Klopp. “I’m so happy about the performance. These boys. [It’s] like having Ferraris in the garage and you let them out and they directly do it like this.” Liverpool has two games remaining in what could be an incredible season. First, there is Wolves and then the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the end of the month. Two trophies -- the League Cup and FA Cup -- already won, two possibly still to come. (CNN)

India’s cricketerturned-politician jailed for road rage death INDIA’S top court has sentenced cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu to one year in prison in a decades-old road rage case. The Supreme Court ruled that Sidhu “intentionally caused hurt” to Gurnam Singh, who was 65, resulting in his death in the incident in 1988. The former MP was acquitted of the more serious charge of manslaughter in 2018 - that still stands. But the jail sentence is a serious setback for his political career. Sidhu recently resigned as the Congress party’s chief in Punjab after his party was wiped out in state assembly elections. He has limited legal options left as he can appeal against the ruling only once in the form of a curative petition. Sidhu was first accused of

manslaughter in 1988 when a 65-year-old man died hours after an argument with him in Patiala. He was India’s opening batsman at the time and a rising star in his fledging international cricket career. The case continued to be heard in a trial court. In 1999, the court acquitted Sidhu. The state appealed against the acquittal in the high court, which convicted him for manslaughter in 2006. This forced him to resign from his parliamentary seat of Amritsar as Indian laws do not allow convicted individuals to be public representatives. He appealed against the verdict in the Supreme Court which stayed the conviction, allowing him to retake his seat in a by-election. In 2018, the top court acquitted him in the

manslaughter case, but found him guilty of “hurting the victim” and asked him to pay a fine of 1,000 rupees ($13; £10). The victim’s family appealed against the ruling and on Thursday, the Supreme Court added a oneyear sentence to the fine. WHO IS NAVJOT SINGH SIDHU? Sidhu is one of India’s most successful Test cricketers. Known for his stylish and powerful stroke play, he thrived in particular

against fast bowlers, but also held equal command over playing spin skilfully. He scored 3,202 runs at an average of 42 in 51 Test matches. He also played 136 ODIs and scored 4,413 runs. He retired from all forms of cricket in 1999 and after four years, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and became an MP. Over the years, he rose to become a prominent party leader and a star campaigner. In the next decade, he also managed to launch a successful

career as a cricket commentator and also as a TV personality on comedy shows. His witty and sharp style made him popular as a commentator. But he became disgruntled with the BJP after reportedly not getting any important job in the government despite the party’s landslide win in the 2014 general elections. He quit the BJP in 2016 and joined the Congress, where he rose to become the chief of its state unit in Punjab. (BBC)

US Soccer agrees to equal pay deal THE United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA) have agreed to a deal that achieves “equal pay and set the global standard moving forward in international soccer.” US Soccer, under the agreements, will become “the first Federation in the world to equalize FIFA World Cup prize money” awarded to the teams for participating in World Cups. “This is a truly historic moment,” said US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone in a statement on Wednesday. “These agreements have changed the game forever here in the United States and have the potential to change the game around the world.” Cone added: “US Soccer and the USWNT and USMNT players have reset their relationship with these

new agreements and are leading us forward to an incredibly exciting new phase of mutual growth and collaboration as we continue our mission to become the preeminent sport in the United States.” As part of the agreement, US Soccer will share a portion of its “broadcast, partner and sponsorship revenue with a 50/50 split of that share divided equally between USWNT and USMNT.” “They said equal pay for men and women was not possible, but that did not stop us and we went ahead and achieved it,” said Walker Zimmerman, member of the USNSTPA leadership group. “We hope this will awaken others to the need for this type of change, and will inspire FIFA and others around the world to move in the same direction,” added Zimmerman. The deal also encompasses other areas such child care, parental leave, short-term disability, mental

health impairment, travel and equal quality of venues and field playing surfaces. “We hope that this agreement and its historic achievements in not only providing for equal pay but also in improving the training and playing environment for National Team players will similarly serve as the foundation for continued growth of women’s soccer both in the United States and abroad,” said USWNT player and USWNTPA President Becky Sauerbrunn.

Actress Jessica Chastain tweeted “Gooooooal!” after the announcement was made public, reflecting the mood of many on social media. Earlier this year, US Soccer and the USWNT reached an agreement to end a dispute over equal pay dating back to March 2019 when the USWNT filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against US Soccer. As part of the agreement, US Soccer paid $22 million to

the players in the case as well as an additional $2 million into an account “to benefit USWNT players in their post-career goals and charitable efforts related to women’s and girls’ soccer,” according to a joint statement from US Soccer and the USWNT. Wednesday’s equal pay announcement comes six months before the USMNT is scheduled to take part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which begins on November 21. (CNN)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Gabon captain retires from international football GABON captain and Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has retired from international football, a fortnight before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign begins. The 32-year-old made a total of 68 appearances for the Panthers and scored 29 goals, making him the nation’s all-time leading scorer. The Gabon Football Federation (Fegafoot) said it had received a letter from Aubameyang announcing his decision. “After 13 years of representing my country with pride, I would like to tell you that I am ending my international career,” the former Arsenal star wrote. “I would like to thank the Gabonese people and all those who have supported me in the good times as well as the bad ones. “I will always have great memories like the day I made my debut, or the day I came back from Nigeria with the African Player of the

Year award. Sharing it with everyone is an unforgettable moment. “I want to thank my father who made me want to be like him and I hope I made him proud in wearing

our colours.” In response, Fegafoot recognised his “immense career” and a player “who knew how to promote, thanks to his professionalism, the image

of Gabon around the world”. “Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will always be model for future generations,” the Fegafoot statement added.

“The big football family will be able to count on his expertise for the future.” Aubameyang was born in France and appeared for the French under-21 side but switched to play for Gabon to follow in the footsteps of his father, who captained the side at their first Nations Cup finals appearance in 1994. He did not always enjoy a cordial relationship with Fegafoot, including in 2018 when he criticised the governing body for announcing his father would be the new national team coach before a deal had been finalised. Aubameyang was on target on his international debut in a 2-1 win in Morocco in 2009, and featured at four Africa Cup of Nations finals for his country. The striker was in Gabon’s squad for this year’s delayed 2021 Nations Cup but missed all of their games in Cameroon after initially contracting Covid-19 and then suffering from reported ‘heart lesions’.

Butler puts in a historic performance as Heat win Game One over the Celtics JIMMY Butler poured in 41 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and three blocked shots -- numbers never seen before in an NBA playoff game -- as he led the Miami Heat to a 118-107 comeback victory over the Boston Celtics in Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals. “MVP Jimmy did his thing. He put us on his back,” Heat guard Tyler Herro said after the game. Despite losing two of their starters -- Marcus Smart and Al Horford -- hours before the tipoff, the Celtics kicked off Game 1 strongly with a 7-0 run. In the first half, Boston led by as much as 13 and went into halftime 62-54 up with forward Jayson Tatum tying a career playoffhigh in scoring for one half as he contributed 21 points. Then, the game turned on its head after halftime. A minute into the third quarter with the Heat trailing the Celtics by a point, Gabe Vincent’s three-point attempt bounced off the rim.

the fourth quarter -- outscoring the Heat over the 12 minutes and hauling themselves back within nine points with 7:35 left -- the damage had already been done. “They were down at halftime and came out and played hard in the third quarter,” Tatum told reporters after the game. “It’s on me, I had six turnovers. I’ve got to take care of the ball better, especially in those situations when they’re going on runs like that.” Tatum had 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Celtics while Jaylen Brown had a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Vincent, filling in for six-time NBA All-Star Kyle Lowry at point guard, also starred for the Heat and contributed 17 points. It is the third time that the Celtics and the Heat have faced each other in the Eastern Conference Finals, with Miami winning both previous occasions.

ENGLAND fast bowler Jofra Archer will miss the entire season after suffering a stress fracture of the lower back. It is another setback for the 27-year-old, who has not played since last July following two elbow operations. Archer was on track in his recovery and was hoping to play domestic cricket this month, only to feel soreness in his back last week. He is also set to miss the T20 World Cup in Australia this autumn, with no timeframe set for his return. It is the latest injury to an England pace bowler, with seven including Archer - ruled out of the summer’s first Test against New Zealand. Of the other six, four - Sam Curran, Olly Stone, Matt Fisher and Saqib Mahmood - have back injuries. This new blow will be a concern for Archer, once England’s most exciting pace prospect but now facing more than a year on the sidelines. Called up just before the 2019

Archer expected to make his return to action this summer.

World Cup, he memorably bowled the ‘super over’ that helped England triumph in the final against New Zealand at Lord’s. He made his Test debut on the same ground against Australia later that summer, bowling a ferocious spell that resulted in Steve Smith being struck on the helmet and suffering a concussion.

Archer has played 13 Tests, 17 one-dayers and 12 T20s for England, taking 86 international wickets. His last appearance for England was in March of 2021. He has also had a successful career in franchise leagues and was named as the Most Valuable Player in the Indian Premier League in 2020. (BBC)
