TCI ranked as one of world’s best tax havens The Turks & Caicos Islands came in fourth place out of 40 countries for the World’s Best tax havens, finding itself above Singapore and behind Jersey, a new study reveals. Anti-money laundering experts from Smartsearch.com extrapolated data from a number of destinations and evaluated factors such as taxation, monthly rent for accommodation, weather, safety, internet speed and bars and restaurants to find the best tax havens in the world. The study which was recently conducted and shared with the Weekly News, revealed that the Turks and Caicos Islands scored 72.5 out of 100 based on safety, rent costs, weather and entertainment spots such as bars/restaurants. The Bahamas copped the top spot, followed by Anguilla and Jersey respectively and the Turks and Caicos Islands in fourth. ‘Turks and Caicos have no taxes, whether they are personal, corporate, profits, assets, capital gains or estate. “Its well-known nature for being a tax haven has seen it come under scrutiny over the years, but it remains one of the best world tax havens”, the report said. The study pointed out that similar to other Caribbean tax havens, monthly rentals in the TCI are “incredibly expensive” but
luxurious with the average price hitting an eye-watering £2,260. “Safety is also a concern on the island, with it being given a 3 out of 5 rating by the Travel Advisory. “It has high internet speed for a Caribbean island, hitting 61.8 mbps, a fast speed for the region. This fast speed attracts many financial firms to select the island as its tax haven. “The island's weather and beach rating of 87 makes it one of the more desired tax havens out there. “It has the least amount of rainfall out of all the Caribbean islands but can get mildly muggy during the summer to October. “The island is surrounded by one of the planet’s biggest coral reefs, making a diving experience a must”, the study added. Similar to the weather and beaches rating, the study looked at the quality of the dining and drinks available on all the tax havens. Whilst some destinations lack a diverse menu due to location, most have an incredibly high culinary standard, with many boasting Michelin-starred restaurants and the best bars around, the study found.
In this vein, the sandy beach bars and high-end foreign cuisine offered in the TCI catapulted the destination to a high 90 rating for eateries. A ‘tax haven’ used to be seen as something for the ultra-wealthy, however, times have changed and moderately wealthy families and individuals are protecting their wealth by moving it offshore. Tax havens are countries where there are little to no taxes across income, corporate, capital gains, estate, or inheritance.
TCI’s rental costs, safety, internet speed, weather and eateries were examined in the study

TCI residents urged to prepare for above-average hurricane season Hurricane season is underway and residents in the TCI are being urged to make early preparations for the above-average season. Speaking at a press conference held at the Department of Disaster Management and Emergencies (DDME) in Providenciales on Wednesday, June 1, the opening day of the season, Minister of Immigration and Border Services with responsibility for disaster management, Hon Arlington Musgrove called on residents to remain in a state of readiness as the 2022 hurricane season officially begins. He said: “Forecasters predict an above-average season, with possibly 14 to 21 named storms, three to six of which likely develop into major hurricanes.” Musgrove explained that the high number of storms predicted increases the possibility of storms making landfall and impacting the TCI due to the territory’s geographic location within the hurricane belt. “Therefore, we must simplify and remain in a state of readiness, I urge you to be proactive in preparing for severe weather by downloading the DDME alert mobile app, creating an emergency plan for your families, replenishing your stock of emergency supplies and taking the necessary measures to protect property and possession.” He further advised residents to remain attentive and heed the advisories and warnings issued by the National Emergency Management Service. Musgrove said: “As we strive to mitigate the challenges foreseen, we must recognise that preparation and measurement of these hazardous events rests not only with the government, but with every one of us. “There is no area, community or business in the Turks and Caicos Islands immune to disaster so let us be wise and build our resilience and capacity through preparedness. “I want to appeal to my fellow ministers, permanent secretaries and heads of department throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands government to ready your staff and business continuity plans to ensure the resumption of government efficiency soon after an impact. “We are resilient people and resilient people proactively plan and prepare for those who have not yet started the preparation. “Join the mission, be ready and pledge to prepare to join forces and ensure the safe and ready Turks and Caicos Islands.”

2022 Hurricane Season outlook infographic PREPARATION AND TRAINING Acting Director of DDME, Mike Clerveaux said in preparation for the 2022 hurricane season, the DDME along with other stakeholders have carried out shelter inspections throughout the islands to ensure they are ready in the event of a storm. He said: “We have a total of 23 shelters listed, 17 primary shelters and six secondary shelters. Please note, not all shelters will be open at the same time, opening of the shelters will be based on the situation. “A detailed list of all the shelters will be posted on DDMEs platforms, social media apps and websites.” As it relates to shelter management training, Clerveaux noted that this has already been completed across the islands and Providenciales is the last remaining island to host management training
which will be rolled out soon. He said: “Out of these training a total of 63 persons are newly trained in shelter management and they are ready to be deployed if needed. “When it comes to our communications sector, we have ramped up all of our communication testing, that is VHF radios and satellite phones, this is to ensure that all responding agencies are familiar with the use of these devices leading to the peak of the hurricane season. “We have three mobile towers stationed in the islands of Providenciales, Grand Turk and South Caicos. “These towers will provide VHF communication throughout the islands immediately after impact and if other means of communications are impacted.” Turning his attention to the recently launched DDME’s mobile app (DDME alert), Clerveaux
Explained that residents will have all the required information at their fingertips, including shelter locations, He said: “ They will able to receive alerts and notifications, just like WhatsApp, it has an eyewitness report section that allows persons to submit report about any incident hazards such as floods and storms, and storm surges and be able to determine if your house is in that zone so that you can make that conscious decision.” The acting director informed that a number of outreach campaigns were carried out throughout communities across the islands as well. “He said: “We have visited government schools and private schools as part of our preparedness programme. “We have conducted simulation exercises with our key stakeholders, such as the DMO, the airport and Carib wave.
“We have hosted a national state of preparedness meeting with all the PS, deputy PS, police, our minister, deputy governor and the governor who chaired these meetings. “We are being updated on the country's state of preparedness and plans being implemented to continuously improve our resilience. “We also hosted a critical infrastructure meeting with all the key stakeholders that are responsible for telecommunication, electricity, water, fuel, health, and food security to discuss their hurricane preparedness plans.” He stressed that the department will continue to review its plans and policies as the territory heads into the peak of the hurricane season. Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are predicting above-average hurricane activity this year, which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. NOAA’s outlook for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which extends from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 65% chance of an above-normal season, a 25% chance of a near-normal season and a 10% chance of a belownormal season. For the 2022 hurricane season, NOAA is forecasting a likely range of 14 to 21 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA provides these ranges with 70% confidence.

A Weekly News column that puts you on the spot for your opinions on the issues of the day
BUSINESS FINANCING
The Minister of Finance, Investment & Trade, Hon Erwin ‘Jay’ Saunders said the Government is working to get banks and other lending institutions in the TCI to "open up” and be "more friendly” to local businesses. Statistically, he said, small businesses in the Turks and Caicos Islands and around the world struggle more than large enterprises to get finance, which is crucial to their ability to stay competitive in the marketplace. The Minister said this practice requires a paradigm shift in order for the Turks and Caicos to effectively diversify its economy. What are your thoughts?
Credit union needed A local credit union could fill the gap that the Commercial Canadian banks leave for small and medium businesses. Turks and Caicos Islanders need to UNITE and open a credit union that caters to personal and small and medium businesses. We can do it! So why haven't we so far? #LookWithinTCI
Banks are not venture capitalists
There will not be a "paradigm" shift in the banks operating policies. Ask the regulators. Banks are not venture capitalists. In the TCI, their mortgage policies point to their risk policies.
Interest rates should be reasonable
This would be a great move for the banks. However, should they grant this, the amount in interest rate has to also be considered, as most times it is extremely high, which is a major deterrent. A realistic payment amount schedule can also assist with more ease of access for loans.
Govt should establish a development bank
This is certainly a good policy option on the part of the Minister of Finance and for
him to lay out an explicit and clear policy on the need to “get banks and other lending institutions in the TCI to "open up” and be "more friendly” to local businesses.” Time is overdue for the banks to look out for the people of the TCI in a direct and meaningful way. The Hon Minister should lay out his policy in the form of a White Paper detailing a new policy on lending and draft legislation on protecting TCIslanders from discrimination. It is beyond realisation that TCI businesses are in dire need of help. It seems that they are struggling more than the “other businesses”. Should the Minister decide to publish a clear policy on the position, there should be a legislation to create low-interest facilities in the TCI, so that banks are prevented from charging customers more than 3% on business loans. To show some serious resolve, the Minister should establish a development bank. A Development Bank would go far in making sure that local businesses have access to new money in the TCI, at lowinterest rates and lending against business plans. Use National Insurance funds to do this but it should be done.
Market access is also a hindrance
The Minister should assemble a roundtable of TCI businessmen, who could testify to how they are being shut out of certain markets. It is not only the lack of cash alone, market access is critical. The Minister should widen and deepen the reserved category of business licensing.
More areas of business licensing should be reserved for the protection of the TCIslander. Yes, that time has come. There is “nothing wrong with “protectionism” when it comes to the Turks & Caicos Islanders. TCIslanders will remember there was a time when the Beaches were theirs. Food stores were TCIslander-owned. Now owing to deliberate breaches of the laws, the refusal of Banks to extend credit, the TCIslander is left out of his own garden in his own country. On the islands of North Caicos, Providenciales, South Caicos, Grand Turk and Salt Cay, hotels, however small were “locally” owned. There is a need to return to those days, back to when you owned your own Garden.
Give the banks some competition
n addition to sponsoring legislation to enable access to cash, the minister may look at giving the banks some competition again. Appoint a sensible Board of Directors, create a commercial bank, move on from the deliberate failings of TCI Bank, which is still in liquidation after nearly 10 years, and create a commercial bank. Such a bank would lend to locals at lowinterest rates. It is certainly a good idea for the banks in the TCI to step up and stop discriminating against Turks & Caicos Islanders. It cannot be forgotten that the Premier in November of 2021 issued a clarion call on the Banks in the TCI, surrounding their "cherry-picking” and de-risking sections of the population”. The Premier stated at that time that it was a practice that “can no longer continue”. It seems that these practices are continuing and they have not been addressed except in speeches. Nonetheless, to paraphrase the Premier, 'Banks must understand that they must lend to locals, that lending of any nature carries some degree of risk and they are licensed to carry certain risks'. Such risks are reduced by proper lending practices, vetting business plans and taking the right security. It means that the Premier
and His Minister of Finance must continue to fight and charge on this issue as it is critical to the empowerment of Turks & Caicos Islanders.
New pro-TC Islanders laws needed As this debate unfolds, pressure must mount from the public and the Official Opposition to keep the Government’s feet to fire. The mode of managing banks must change from decisions being made in Toronto and outside of the TCI. That’s not banking but as the Premier stated, a ‘messenger’ service. There is a consensus that certain sectors need to be de-risked and Government policy must lead on ways to manage those risks. At any rate, the time has come for Turks & Caicos Islanders to have access to lowinterest loans, long-term loans, bridge financing and protections. The Government cannot leave it to the Court for the protection of TCIslanders when the banks come after them. New laws need to be passed to outlaw predatory lending practices, high-interest rates and redemption processes which take the form of foreclosure. Let the Minister put his money where his mouth is. Create a commercial bank, provide the local banks with needed competition, a mandate for low-interest loans, legislate against discrimination and let the TCIslander have his/her day in the sun. There is enough money in the treasury to do things like this. Create the bank, and start lending to the people at low rates as this would be easier than getting the other banks to do the same.

TCI needs more inclusive growth – Premier Misick The Premier, Hon Charles Washington Misick said it is imperative for the TCI to find innovative ways to foster inclusive growth and retain more money deriving from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the local economy. As the Turks and Caicos Islands boast of an enviable post-Covid-19 economic recovery, Premier Misick said his Government is keen on ensuring that broad swaths of the population benefit immensely from the growth in key sectors. He made these remarks at the Third Annual Economic Conference on Tuesday, May 24, at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Village and Spa. The key area of focus of this year’s conference was the development of a roadmap for investments in the Turks and Caicos Islands, including the Government's vision, policy changes, and investment opportunities that benefit Turks and Caicos Islanders. The conference examined the path towards economic resilience for the Turks and Caicos Islands. The one-day conference saw over 100 people in attendance, and brought the Government, the business community, and other stakeholders together to discuss the future of investments in the territory, TCIG’s proposed policy changes, and economic trends and their impact on the Islands and all stakeholders. Speaking at the conference, Premier Misick posited that access to capital for the improvement of
Premier Hon Charles Washington Misick skills to align people with goodpaying jobs, technology transfers, and economic spin-offs will create the desired shift in the territory's economy. He said: “These are what's going to make the difference. “We must, for example, find a way to achieve inclusive growth and money retention in the local communities, creating linkages to the large business operating predominantly in the hospitality sector. He pointed out that despite the territory’s gains in tourism, it is still in a disadvantageous position
due to its lack of production. He said: “At the end of the day, this economy has a gaping hole in it because we don't produce anything. “You will hear economists talk about the philosophy of money, but money doesn't have any philosophy. “We have a shoe box economy, we make money, we’re sending money out of the shoebox, the money goes back into the shoebox and goes out again, that has to change.” Misick said the TCI has to develop a robust internal economy
that allows money to pass through “as many hands as possible”. “ And the only way that it's gonna happen is we have retention in this in the local economy and the only way that could happen is if we have linkages to our major industry, particularly that of tourism”, he added. He underscored the importance of establishing proper linkages among sectors to develop Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs) for the benefit of the populace “Only the money that is retained in the economy is worth the while,
CDC moves TCI to “high” risk category for Covid-19 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week moved the Turks and Caicos Islands to Level Three or “high” risk category for Covid-19. “If you are not up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines, avoid travelling to the Turks and Caicos Islands,” the website stated. It added that in Level Three countries, even up-to-date vaccinated travellers may still be at risk of getting and spreading Covid-19. TCI is not alone in the “high”
risk group. On Tuesday, Jamaica and Anguilla were also classified as Level Three destinations. Last week, the Bahamas, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Montserrat from the Caribbean were bumped up to Level Three as cases increase throughout the region. Antigua and Barbuda, the BVI, Barbados, Bermuda and several other nations were placed in Level Three in April. During that time, the CDC had overhauled its ratings system for assessing Covid-19 risks for
travellers. The Level Three "high" risk category is now the top stair in terms of the risk level. Level Two is considered "moderate" risk, and Level one is "low" risk. Level four, previously the highest risk category, is now reserved only for special circumstances, such as extremely high case counts, the emergence of a new variant of concern or health care infrastructure collapse. Under the new system, no destinations have been placed at Level four so far.
A number of Caribbean nations are in the “high” risk category.
so that's what we have to focus on.” He emphasised that this requires strategic diversification in the local economy. “And so we must find new and innovative ways to diversify the economy and that term is ubiquitous, its a bit overused … but the circumstances demand that we diversify not only our tourism sector in terms of a sort of a sectoral geographical segmentation but also finding new products. “This is part of the work that we will be doing, to see how we can maximise our benefit from this industry, which pays, I think, close to 40 per cent of our GDP and when you link everything together, it's probably 90 plus per cent value. “Whether you’re a banker, construction worker, a hotel worker, an investor in the financial services sector, or the hotel sector, it's all connected to tourism and we have to maximise our value from that”, he added. Premier Misick further pointed out that rising global food insecurity is a real threat to the Turks and Caicos Islands, this stark reality is shaping the Government’s new investment policy driven by the need to diversify the territory’s economy. He said: “Fortunately, during the pandemic, the ships came but if we have a pandemic, which is so severe that the ships don’t come, then we have a problem.” In this vein, Misick stressed that his government is focused on food production since it is one of the sectors that is in dire need of investment.

JAGS McCartney remembered A hero is an everyday person who sacrifices daily and shows bravery and action to assist with the betterment of their people. In his 34 years of life, The Right Most Excellent James Alexander George Smith (JAGS) McCartney embodied true heroism because of his tenacious spirit and his will to fight for the rights of Turks and Caicos Islanders.
On Monday, May 30, the territory came together to honour the life and work of this son of the soil, and true island hero. And while, in the time of COVID, some may feel their spirits had dimmed somewhat, the love, camaraderie and sense of pride were on full display as those gathered celebrated the legacy of a man that captured a nation.
Melodious ripsaw music and Christian hymnals ripped across the nation’s capital, as dignitaries, residents and members of the armed forces of the TCI gathered to pay homage. At the age of 31, the Honourable McCartney became the youngest inoffice leader in the Commonwealth after he was elected the first Chief Minister of the Turks and Caicos
Islands. McCartney was instrumental in the establishment of the ministerial form of internal self-government in the Islands. He was reputable for his kindness and bravery, his uncanny ability to relate to all persons, and his ability to see beyond political affiliation. Delivering a stirring keynote
address at the wreath-laying ceremony at Parade Ground in Grand Turk was Leonardo "Leo" Lightbourne, Probation and Parole Officer within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. “We have to engage in a national dialogue about the pros and cons of self-governance,” Lightbourne intoned.

as true hero, 42 years later “We have to have some uncomfortable conversations within our communities. JAGS believed we were more than capable of self-governing ourselves, but we have to let go of the practises that divide and divided us.” Lightbourne said the Hon JAGS understood it took a village working together to achieve independence while calling specifically on the
Christian community to do its part in helping to restore communities. “The most segregated hour in our country is 11 o’clock on a Sunday morning. Religion should unite us, not divide us. Thus, organisations like the TCI Christian Council must recognise the role they play in uniting this country and building stronger communities. We have to do our part in ensuring that no
Turks and Caicos Islander is left behind.” Further on the topic of unity, Lightbourne pointed to the treatment of Haitians within the local community, noting that they are the rising majority as per hospital statistics. “Sooner or later, we are going to have to make a choice: to accept or reject the rising majority
population. Rejection will only lead to cultural resentment and feelings of alienation. “We are going to have to create a country where these two cultures can co-exist. I understand that this is a tough task for leaders, but we cannot sweep this under the rug. One day we might have to redefine who is a Turks and Caicos Islander.”

Lightbourne emphasised that as the TCI learns to live together with others who also call the island home, the TCI’s culture does not have to be in jeopardy because of this. Remarks were also delivered by Governor Nigel Dakin; Premier, Hon Washington Misick; Leader of the Opposition, Hon Edwin Astwood among others.

Patience is a virtue: Don’t give up, your time will come We live in an era where we want things instantly. There is nothing wrong with this desire, but we must be very careful because sometimes we end up making the wrong decisions. Of course, there are some things that you do that will create instant results but there are also some events and circumstances in your life that require you to be patient. I don’t know what you are going through, but I know whatever you are going through is just temporary and if you do the right thing, your time will come when you get what you desire. Being patient does not mean you should remain idle and don’t do anything. Everyone has needs and I encourage you to pursue them. However, recognise that there may be a delay in getting the desired

I want you to remind you about Job who encountered suffering and lost almost everything, but he remained patient and God restored him. I know some of you are struggling in your business. In fact,
it reaches a point where you want to close it. If you believe that this business is what you were called to do, be patient. Review your strategy, promote your business, always pray over your business and eventually your business will prosper. Don’t lie, cheat, or become greedy in your business so you can make more money. Be patient.
Some of you are lonely and want to be in a relationship. Make your requests known to God. However, don’t rush into a relationship with someone. Learn to be patient and you will get your desire. Some of you are disappointed in your children. One thing I will say is, do not turn your back on your children and do not stop praying for them. Be patient, your children will turn around. I know sometimes you see other children doing so well and you wonder what happen to your children. You need to stop comparing your children to others. Some of your children may experience failures in life but it does not mean they will fail all the time. Be patient, pray and believe. Some of you are faced with diseases and you have been praying for years for good health and
you don’t see any changes. Stop focusing on the symptoms. Eat healthy and be patient. Many people are facing financial issues and many of you will be tempted to find ways to earn fast money. Be very careful with this because you may end up compromising your integrity in the process. To be patient requires you to have faith. Therefore, activate your faith. To be patient also requires you to have self-control. You see if you don’t have any self-control, you may take shortcuts and act prematurely, resulting in negative outcomes. To be patient means you should not give up. I know many of you are wondering how long you must wait. I don’t know the answer, but I do know we must learn to be patient.
The apocalyptic collapse of the global society: is the TCI immune? The disintegration of global communities is accelerating as events worldwide soar at an alarming rate. Unpopular conflicts are erupting everywhere, amplifying the supply chain, and causing a decline in overall production and worsening our economic woes. From these accounts, our society is on a pathway to an imminent collapse. Throughout history, we’ve witnessed that civilizations do not remain forever and by analysing variables like population, fertility rate, food production, industrial output, and pollution levels; coupled with recent trends, we know that our society is at an irreparable crossroad and

already, our major institutions and infrastructures are toppling. This decay of civilization, as we know, will ignite dramatic disruptions of trade routes, shifts in supply and demand, diseases, environmental degradation, and radical political dysfunction. In such an apocalyptic milieu,

society’s needs won’t be met; therefore, relinquishing food and basic security are the consensus for measuring the collapse. In 1972, researchers forecasted possible scenarios for our future. They predicted that natural resources will become so scarce that there will be insurmountable challenges and that the quality of life would plummet considerably. Such depletion would spawn commodity shortages and continuously hike the demands for essential supplies. Nature’s ability to produce these resources is exhausted, and so is the industry's capacity to process them. Recently, Europe sent 35 tons of baby formula to the US as shortages for the product hit store shelves – just enough to feed 9,000 babies and 18,000 toddlers for one week.
Now, two major manufacturers were granted approval to purchase expedited ingredients and supplies to ramp up production. Still, an imbalance exists between industrial growth and population growth. If the current annual population growth of 1.3 percent holds, global agriculture production must climb to 70 per cent to meet increased food demands. This dilemma stems from extreme weather patterns. Verifiably, air pollution is a multifaceted challenge and the leading cause of environmental health risk, which accounted for about 8.1 trillion in damage in 2020, equivalent to 6.1 percent of global GDP. Most recently the RussiaUkraine conflict has exacerbated the problem. Russia is using hunger and grain to wield power and ramp up political support. Unfortunately, we’re seeing a similar pattern from Russia with energy security. These events will lead to poverty, especially in fragile countries and vulnerable populations. Subsequently, rising prices will cripple the purchasing power of most consumers. Already, advanced economies are enduring
a five per cent rise in inflation and in developing countries, like the TCI, inflation has propelled above seven per cent. As the societal apocalypse approaches, the poorest will be mostly affected. However, as events develop the pain will escalate up the economic ladder, piercing even the wealthy and no country, including the TCI, is immune to these unfolding phenomena. The challenges ahead are wholly Biblical, and the ideas presented are proof that things are rapidly escalating uncontrollably. To bolster this argument, as Covid infections slow, another health emergency is looming on the horizon. A monkeypox outbreak, spreading rapidly across nations. Without an urgent shift in global priorities, experts argued that industrial civilization will inevitably collapse. And if corporations and governments continue to chase after ‘infinite economic growth,’ no matter the cost, everything will subside. So, brace yourselves for a calamitous surge in political turbulence, humanitarian crisis instability and geopolitical strife across our deteriorating planet.

Faith in action: be humble, patient and just
As a CARICOM citizen, I have had the privilege of working in many other regional nations. Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and Belize are but a few. Each has had its own experience, some memorable, some I’d like to forget but it was with joy that I embarked upon my journey to the Turks and Caicos Islands. What new experiences awaited me here, and what friends would I make? The Turks and Caicos, however, has been a very different experience from the other countries that I have lived and worked in. The physical place is astounding, I was excited and had a feeling of great pride when I discovered that boat building is a tradition and art that is still very much practiced here. I felt pride to know that there is a nation in the Caribbean that has not let time make them forget a time-honoured tradition.

This I think should be encouraged and celebrated as once it is lost it can only be remembered in storytelling. As an immigrant, like so many others, we move around seeking to make the trade of skills and talents for a better income and in some cases a better life. The TCI is an immigrant magnet offering employment in multiple sectors, a low crime rate and a stable economy. These are very attractive features to many who are willing to leave their shores to travel here for the promise of a better life. As we
seek to be a Christian nation in deed and not word only, we must examine how we treat the immigrants among us. The lure of riches is a potent one and there are but only a few people that can resist its charms. As we seek to grow closer to God, we must remember that the Bible tells us that, “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Tim. 6:10. In James chapter 5 the author begins with a stern warning to the rich. Now I want to make it clear the Bible is not against riches, in fact there were many wealthy men
of God in the scriptures. What the author does criticise though is the treatment of the labourers by the rich. Specifically withholding wages to enrich themselves. I tend to be a very practical thinking person and I look at it like this. If a gallon of milk costs $5.99 and the minimum wage is $6.25 it will take that person one hour's work to be able to purchase a gallon of milk. While fulfilling the law there seems to be a bit of injustice here. James encourages us to remember that there is a God who is watching and taking note of how we treat those who are working for us. The question is, “Are we being fair, or are we motivated by the desire for riches?” Now if you are a worker reading this and are somehow dancing in glee, consider this. The author also encourages the worker not to grumble but to be patient even if they are being treated
unfairly. “Nonsense!” You may say, however, the same reason the employer is to be just is the same reason we are to be humble and patient. God is watching and taking note of our attitude towards our employers. James 5: 9 says, “Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the judge is standing at the door.” I want to end by saying this; if you claim Christianity then your words and actions should mean something, although difficult, we should try to live in a way pleasing to God and in so doing place others before ourselves. This is by no means easy but with the help of the Holy Spirit and if we truly desire this, we can become a Christian nation—we can truly be beautiful by God’s nature.

Life lessons by decades We love the idea (and to some degree), we accept that people do build stronger characters with age. Each decade brings new adventures, discoveries, challenges and perspectives that you never thought you’d tolerate. You look back at your pictures and realise how young and frivolous you once were and how now, you’ve slowly turned into your parents, in every little way. Last week, while chatting with a 60-plus-year-old friend about what matters to her at her age, I am pushed to look at how people change with time. Plan in decades. Think in years. Work in months. Live in days. True. But what can we aim to look for as we rack up more candles on our birthday cakes? Below, I’ve summarised the ultimate checklist for every decade.
BEFORE YOUR TEEN: Create a strong sense of values These foundational years are pivotal. Give your children a solid system of values, which they may use as an ultimate toolkit to navigate the good and bad times ahead. Easier said than done? Try to instill in them the value of family, honesty, emotions, faith, work ethic, respect, patience, punctuality, diction, spelling,

smiling and the healing power of saying “I love you”.
IN YOUR TEEN: Get on with it At this point, you ought to put your education at the forefront. Read as much as possible. Do a little bit more homework than needed. Always do your best, but never become a sore loser. Practice a sport and selfdiscipline. Learn to share what you have, as little or as much as it may be. Push yourself but avoid comparing. These very things will be the bedrock for your future.
IN YOUR TWENTIES: Experiment, experiment, experiment At this point, you should nurture your interests. Try new things. Do as many odd jobs and internships
as you can. It doesn’t really matter what you do – stay committed to getting as much exposure as possible. Travel. Cultivate reputation. Save money! If you can, even if it’s only a little bit at a time. It will prevent so much stress later on. Don’t be afraid to try multiple times.
IN YOUR THIRTIES: Figure out who you are Focus on understanding your personal traits and weaknesses. Find work which resonates with you. Only work for someone or something that keeps you challenged and gets your heart racing. Volunteer if you can, if not, find a hobby. Try to stop comparing yourself to what your friends are doing or the titles they have accumulated. Note to self. God knows I do too often! Focus
on yourself and what brings you happiness.
IN YOUR FORTIES: Find your balance Whatever it is that you end up doing, find a balance. Chase your career but do not spend all of your time in the office. Equally, do not spend all of your time nurturing a relationship. Go out by yourself more. Do not let anyone walk all over you. Learn to say no, and a firm no without having to share your reason. Keep some good friends around. Laugh more even if you pee when you do.
IN YOUR FIFTIES: You are at your prime If you have children, love them with every inch of you. If you have a cat_ do the same. Drink more expensive wines. What the heck_ upgrade do that business class just because you can. Do not be afraid of your birthdays because many didn’t get to see theirs. Build and leave your legacy. Pass it along to your protege. And whether it’s your own kid or not, it’s time to be the Cool Old Dude and not the Cranky Old Karen.
IN YOUR SIXTIES: Forget and forgive Be humble enough to learn from those younger than you – and provide them with mentorship and guidance. Dabble in projects by consulting for work you know can bring a lot of value. Wear sunscreen, keep a gym membership. Stay in nice hotels and tip generously.
IN YOUR SEVENTIES AND ONWARDS Forget and forgive You did many great things. Now you’ve reached the age where your energy and circumstances no longer allow you to aggressively pursue your purpose. It's time to enjoy yourself without reservation. Travel the world, potter around in your garden on cool days and drink Veuve Clicquot on hot days. Spend time with friends you never really had enough time for in the past. Tick those remaining ‘to-do’ things off your bucket list. Do not go to anyone’s funeral, instead have bottomless brunches in honour of those who left you. Do you have any regrets? Do share on louisedens@gmail. com.

UK’s Blue Belt Programme funds marine research vessel for TCI BY DELANA ISLES The TCI is the first British Overseas Territory (BOT) in the Caribbean to join the UK’s Blue Belt Programme, through which a new marine research vessel will be funded. The programme - aimed at protecting the marine environment
- has been running since 2016. To date, it has enhanced protection across four million square kilometres of marine environments in BOTs in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Southern Oceans. The programme is managed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO), which is represented by HE

Governor Nigel Dakin. Joining the Governor at a press conference last Thursday to officially announce that TCI has signed on to the programme were the Minister of Environment, Hon Josephine Connolly; Director of the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR), Lormeka Williams and other members of the DECR and the environment ministry. “Our beaches may be the best in the world, but our marine environment is the jewel in the TCI crown. Its beauty is what makes visitors gasp as they arrive by air and, beyond the different shades of blues - some of which I’ve seen nowhere else - we are the stewards, on behalf of the global community, of the third-largest barrier reef in the world,” the Governor said in his remarks. He revealed that at the TCI’s request the first step through the Blue Belt Programme is for the UK to fund a research vessel for the DECR, for which one million dollars has just been provided. Along with this funding, the department will be procuring ancillary research equipment, “so we can better understand the environment we need to protect and then, after taking action, monitor it”. This, he said is just the start, and year-on-year, be it through satellite surveillance of TCI’s
Gray matter IS IT TRUE THAT FIVE-OR TEN MINUTES COST TCI TAXPAYERS US$45,000? Recently, the atmosphere was loaded with news that is subject to profound reflections. Everyone has a right to express their opinions according to their worldviews and ability without prejudice and discrimination. However, one common factor can be that critical thinkers are called to reflect on many issues of national interest that need to be addressed. In unfolding the bombshell, Mr Justice Simons was quoted as saying, “The situation could have been clarified if any of the officers involved in their detention had the presence of mind to allow one of them, or to accompany one of them to their home, five or ten minutes
away, to collect their documents".

WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE ABSENCE OF MIND OF THE OFFICERS? In the verdict, one may question the competence and professionalism of our officers. However, a hypothetical absence of mind can be a matter of concern knowing that workplace culture is always morally infectious. In my last episode of Gray Matter, I elaborated on “The fierce urgency of now” to consider the promotion of mental health support for people whether in the private or public sector. Once again, I wish to reiterate that it is not the psychopaths or bipolar commonly called “crazy people” that need psychological support, but we all need it including mental
DOES THE POTENTIAL ABSENCE OF MIND LINK TO OTHER FACTORS? It may be too soon, and the lack of real-time data prevents me from producing an accurate assessment. However, the meaning and potential remedy for absentmindedness can lead us to form hypotheses. First of all, the root of absentmindedness is a failure between memory and attention, and some of the ways to stop it can be, a) Delegation of responsibilities, b) Doing one thing at a time c) Having an accountability buddy Other hypothetical factors can be absenteeism (employees frequently absent due to illness

In her remarks, Williams said the programme offers protection by way of understanding and protecting OT’s biodiversity, strengthening governance, managing human impact, supporting sustainable fisheries management and supporting compliance and enforcement. “From the vast penguin colonies of South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands to the marine turtles of the essential islands, the UK Overseas Territories is home to a globally significant diverse environment. “This flagship programme is central to the UK Government’s ambition of leading action to tackle serious global problems of overfishing into extinction and climate change. “The Turks and Caicos Islands is very proud to be the first Caribbean Overseas Territory to have joined the Blue Belt Programme.” Minister Connolly, in her remarks, gave a breakdown of how the programme will impact the territory. “Our country’s flourishing tourism product, coastal protection and fisheries resources are all
hinged on the robustness of our marine habitat.” The minister stated that upon coming into office in 2021, she became aware of the opportunity to partner with the UK in the protection of the territory’s marine environment and initiated talks with the UK for the TCI’s inclusion. ‘Following positive dialogue, I can now look forward to great benefits and successes that we will achieve through the initiatives being implemented in collaboration with the UK Government’s Blue Belt Programme.” The minister said the new vessel, a Catamaran, will be used in demarcating boundaries and swim zones. The vessel will also be used for conducting industryleading research in TCI waters to help improve knowledge and management of the territory’s precious resource. Minister Connolly also announced that on June 8, she will be accompanied by her deputy permanent secretary Ronlee James, and the DECR Director Lormeka Williams to mark the United Nation’s World Ocean’s Day in London.

or other unjustified causes) and presenteeism (at work, but ill, disengaged, and distracted). IMPROVEMENT FACTORS There are factors that improve productivity and engagement in every organisation, not limited to those of governments. The key element is the improvement of the mental health of employees. In so doing, they become mentally resilient to stress. As a result, they are able to maintain sound patterns of thinking, decision-making, workflow and relationships with coworkers and others, and adherence to disciplines. IN CONCLUSION The promotion of psychological
support comes with huge benefits for organisations. One of the key benefits is the reduction of costs and risks, such as absenteeism and presenteeism as well as disability claims and loss. It also contributes to avoiding legal exposure such as this one. It can be achieved through awareness and discipline so the taxpayer money can go in the right direction such as building schools, hiring more teachers, and mental health professionals, and why not more police officers, and never not to be embarrassed with legal claims that could certainly be avoided.

Panelists discussed how the region can streamline logistics to bring products to the market
Regional food security discussed at CDB 52nd Annual Meeting As the Caribbean region continues to face increasing challenges with food insecurity, especially small island nations, the Caribbean Development Bank kicked off its 52nd Annual meeting with a discussion on the region’s ability to combat this threat. On Wednesday, June 1, the 52nd Annual Meeting for the CDB commenced with a virtual highlevel panel discussion on Regional Food Security. During the session which was live-streamed on the Turks and Caicos Office of the Premier’s Facebook page, experts shared insights on a number of areas relating to Inter-island trade, logistics, and connectivity as part of the discussion on food security and its impact on people and businesses throughout the region. The session saw discussions with experts from CARICOM Regional Organisation for Standards and Quality (CROSQ), International Trade Centre (ITC), EHS Freightliner Ltd., Viking Traders Ltd. and the Turks and Caicos Islands Government and was moderated by Athenee Harvey- Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Turks and Caicos. With only seven and a half years to go to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), impactful change is imperative, and conversations about how to deliver that change are essential. This dovetails with the ethos of the CDB’s focus on collaborative -multi stakeholder impact, providing a unique environment in which to reconnect, share insights, gain fresh perspectives, and build problem-solving initiatives. Vice President of Operations at the CDB Isaac Solomon, during his presentation on the
CDB’s regional food security logo bank’s role in increasing trade in agriculture to promote food security, stressed that creating an appropriate ecosystem to achieve the SDGs mandates a high degree of innovation and responsiveness. This, he explained, will establish the capabilities necessary to address “our social, financial, environmental, institutional, and economic challenges”. He said: “One of those challenges is food security, which has recently taken centre stage in regional and international discourse and is also embedded in CARICOM and CDB’s agenda.
“For the region, food security has been an ongoing concern, as all populations are constantly faced with rising food import levels, which are now trending towards US $6bn annually. He said that this is further compounded by supply and logistic chain challenges, Covid-19, and the impact of the war in Ukraine. He underscored that the CDB is championing innovative solutions to respond to these unique circumstances. These include innovation and creativity to foster resilience, drive economic diversity, and
increased competitive advantage for economies. Solomon added that the bank is investing in the sustainable development of the trade and agricultural sectors to generate food security, lower the food import bill, while also promoting diversification and innovation in national economies.” “CDB guided by our agricultural strategy and policy and strategic plan has channelled increasing resources to agriculture seeking to improve both environment and infrastructure and encourage grid efficiency along agricultural value chains. “In this regard, we have provided support for the Caribbean agriculture, health and food safety agency to develop guidelines and capacity building to facilitate intra -regional trade in agriculture. To enhance the regional quality infrastructure in 11 countries US$15m was approved for Haiti to focus on increasing agricultural productivity and improving food and nutrition security, while the CDB also allocated approximately US$54m to Jamaica from the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Partnership Fund to introduce new climate-smart agriculture technologies and strengthen foods, food safety, infrastructure and systems. REDUCING IMPORT DEPENDENCY Presenter Pierre Bonthoneau, Trade Facilitation Advisor of the International Trade Center noted that two-thirds of the world’s population depends on imports to meet their needs to achieve a healthy diet, this he said underpins the importance of CDB’s discussion on the region’s food security. He added: “Not only for the businesses that are involved in
logistics and in trade, but for all the population that depends on these imports to achieve food security and international trade as an impact on the final cost of agricultural products when they reach consumers. “In the past few years because of the COVID crisis, because of the current geopolitical turmoil in the East commodity prices have surged.” He stressed that there is a responsibility for all the actors of the supply chain governments and the private sector to do everything they can to reduce the cost of trade in order to continue to provide quantitative and cost-effective products to the population that needs it most. Panellists Erica Luke, Managing Director of Eric Hassel Shipping Ltd; Stephen Farquharson -Technical Operator for CARICOM’s Accreditation & Conformity Assessment and Nicholas Zephirin discussed how the region can streamline logistics to bring products to the global market. The dialogue, which was solution-oriented, examined the current environment and requirements needed for the Caribbean to achieve food security. It focused on increasing the trade of agri-food products, improving regional transportation networks and streamlining border systems and processes. Panellists shared various perspectives to posit concrete recommendations and identify quick wins and longer-term opportunities for collaboration amongst the private and public sector partners. Following the virtual sessions, a three-day meeting will take place in the Turks and Caicos Islands from June 14-16.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER
Blowing in the wind, on the side of a hill:
An island pays tribute to one of its ‘Super Men’ – Salt Cay style
This is not an obituary. For that, among others, I would have had to have known Mike Hawkins much longer, much better, and yes, we would have had to have been friends. We were not. Now, before you, dear readers, jump to the conclusion that this is a cold, heartless opening to a tribute to one of Salt Cay’s truly iconic ‘winter’ residents, a ‘Super Man’ in the words of Pastor Netty Talbot, allow me to explain that I respect genuine, loving friendship far too much to simply just throw the word around. And while these days there are those who delight in boasting of their numerous Facebook ‘friends’, honestly considered, how many of these are genuinely devoted, ‘come hell or high water’ friends? With that said, I liked Mike, his humour, his practical jokes, his advice sought and unsought; his ingenious ability to fix almost anything, his energy and not least, our shared enthusiasm for walking all over Salt Cay. Whenever we met, during our walks, we would share jokes and anecdotes and I would like to think that, with time, maybe we would have become friends - if only he hadn’t left this world so early and so unexpectedly. “Call me urgently,” read a text message from a family member on Salt Cay on the morning of Tuesday, 17th May. Having spent a night on Grand Turk, I was heading home to Salt Cay later that day, when I received the sad news, “Mike died, this morning, here in the clinic.” Some pieces of news are simply unbelievable, and this was one of them. For, although no longer a young man, Mike, at 72 years old, was the least likely of the Salt Cay residents expected to depart this world at any time soon. Here was a man who walked five miles,

almost every day, and who, when he wasn’t walking, was always fixing something, fishing, driving around on his beloved, vintage, 1960s Honda Trail 100cc motorcycle, or spending ‘quality time’, foraging at Salt Cay’s dump. As one of his closest friends on Salt Cay remarked, at his funeral, “Mike loved the dump!” At this point it would be remiss of me not to list at least some of the contributions Mike made, over the years to the Salt Cay community; from restoring and subsequently running the MV Beachcomber between Salt Cay and Grand Turk in the late 1990s to early 2000s;
to creating and erecting a replica salina windmill which continues to be a much-admired attraction and, more recently, constructing and installing safe steps for easy access to Salt Cay’s community ‘swimming pool’, at Dunscombe Point. The list goes on - and it is lengthy. However, quite aside from these memorable projects, what struck me the most as I listened to the many, heartfelt tributes expressed by Salt Cay people and residents at this very unique island funeral, were the references to Mike’s willingness to help anyone at a moment’s notice and his genuine love of Salt Cay, its people and his many close friends. “Some
mornings,” his wife Ann told me, “the walk could take as long as three hours because Mike would stop at Deane’s Dock and visit with everyone to catch up on the news of the island, before walking the last homeward steps along Victoria Street”. I recall, when I first met Mike Hawkins, of being reminded of a character from an Ernest Hemingway novel; the beard, the ‘can do’ attitude. There is a passage in the novel ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ by Hemingway, which, were it not set in 1930s Spain, would sum up, succinctly, a life welllived, on Salt Cay. “Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it
nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.” Replace the word ‘hawk’ with ‘osprey’ the word ‘stream’ with ‘ocean’, transform the ‘field of grain’ into a ‘salina’, let the ‘jar of water’ become a ‘glass of wine’ and the ‘carbine’ a ‘fishing rod’ and there you have Salt Cay. My personal tribute to Mike will be, appropriately, walking, and as I continue to walk all over Salt Cay, inevitably I will remember Mike, the famous backpack, and the “Morning Sonny!” greeting. So, Mike, this column is dedicated to your memory! And now get on with it and fix those Pearly Gates we’re counting on you!

FortisTCI is looking for apprentices to jumpstart their careers BY DELANA ISLES One the job training, professional growth and an opportunity to be part of a dynamic and highly successful team. This is what FortisTCI is willing to offer four candidates in possession of an associate degree, a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, for the next two years. The initiative is an apprenticeship programme which the company is looking to start on August 2. The announcement was made during a press conference at the utility company’s headquarters in Providenciales on Thursday, May 26. President and CEO Ruth Forbes, who spoke to the intention, said “This programme has been in the making since 2021, when I introduced the idea at our first youth roundtable in August. The apprenticeship programme is fully developed and ready for takeoff”. The programme is a 12-to24-month job placement, and according to the CEO, it provides “a career pathway for ambitious, talented and hardworking young people who are interested in the utility sector”.
FortisTCI launched its newest professional development initiative last week. She said with the apprenticeship programme, successful applicants will spend time learning about the business and getting exposed to various departments within the company. The CEO also addressed the
Residents and police work together to catch armed robber A show of support, and no doubt a result of the police force’s community policing efforts, recently led to the swift apprehension of a dangerous criminal and another illegal gun off the streets. On Monday, May 30, at about 2 am the police control room was alerted to a robbery along Airport Road in Providenciales, during which shots were fired. Police promptly responded to the scene, where they discovered that no one was injured. However, shortly after Police received information and a description of the culprit, a team of officers proceeded to a location near where the robbery was committed, where they apprehended a man and recovered a firearm. The matter remains under investigation. Commenting on the swiftness with which his officers responded, Acting Commissioner of Police, Rodney Adams said the activities of Monday morning are indeed “an excellent example to the public and the police working together to
make our communities safer”. He said: “In light of this partnership effort, a dangerous criminal and another illegal firearm were taken off the streets. “The force executive team would also like to recognise our officers that displayed professionalism and teamwork. I also wish to say a special thanks to those members of the public who assisted us.”
issue of compensation, saying: “Each apprentice will also receive competitive compensation and benefits similar to our other employees. Needless to say, we are looking for a few good women and men to be apprentices within our three divisions.” Those divisions are operations, corporate services and innovation, technology and strategic planning. Candidates will rotate within a specific division for the first 6-12 months for broad exposure with a dedicated placement for the next 12 months according to proficiency. Forbes emphasised that the aim is also to expand and enhance the utility’s career development initiatives. “It will help us harness new talent as we continue to develop a trained, ready, and experienced workforce to lead the transition to sustainable energy. I am confident
that this programme will be another gateway to recruiting some of TCI's brightest and best." Also present at the briefing were TeAnn Thomas who is the manager of the innovation and resource planning department and Roshawn Cox, a member of the business technological solutions department. Both persons started as interns with the utility company. In their statements, Thomas and Cox encouraged persons to apply, recounting their own experiences as part of the Fortis team from teenage summer camp days to their current professional growth. Cox urged: “To the students I want to say, that you must always remain a student as learning never stops. Be diligent… and be dedicated in everything that you do.” Cox began his association with the utility company by participating in its annual science and technology
fair as a student at the Maranatha Academy. He persistently enrolled in the FortisTCI student internship programme every summer between 2016 and 2021 and is now a thriving employee with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Thomas is a past FortisTCI scholarship recipient and has been promoted several times since joining the company in 2014. She plays an influential role in the company's renewable energy programmes. Meanwhile, for those who are interested in joining the FortisTCI team they are required to complete an application form, provide a 500–800-word essay on how a learning opportunity at FortisTCI can be beneficial, and participate in an interview process. Application forms are available on www.fortistci.com/careers, and potential candidates have until June 17 to submit.

Newly minted Police Constables are ready to fight crime and bring order
Thirteen strong: RTCIPF welcomes another batch of police constables Thirteen young men and women who eagerly responded to join the territory’s growing crime-fighting team have since graduated. The newly minted police constables had their passing out parade last Friday, May 27, in Freeport, Bahamas where they had undergone five months of rigorous training. The group, which performed exceptionally well, took part in intense training in all areas of policing: law, work practices, practical exercises, physical training, driving, deportment and drill. Training was conducted at the Bahamas Police Training College, Northern Campus in Freeport. In attendance at the ceremony was Trevor Botting, Commissioner of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, who delivered remarks at the official event, followed by a private meeting with his officers. The commissioner also provided a review of what the training entailed - which included a daily 4:30am start with physical exercise before a full day of academic and practical studies. He said he was proud of how the officers applied themselves. “I was very proud to see the development of this group of very capable, smart and committed officers who gave a terrific account of themselves during the graduation event but also performed consistently to a high standard during the training.” The new officers were accompanied by Sergeant Kevin Clarke, whom the Commissioner commended for his continued good work with new recruits. “[He] has done a great job supporting our new officers,
Commissioner of Police, Trevor Botting welcomes the newest members of his team as the Force continues its crime-fighting initiatives delivering training and himself achieving academic success as a trainer. “Sergeant Clarke deserves great credit for the job he has played in the support and development of our new officers. “I look forward to welcoming back our officers to the Turks and Caicos Islands as they start their careers in service to our communities. I hope the community joins me in congratulating the new officers on their success and wishing them well in their policing careers," the Commissioner said. The officers are: Constable 396 Jumaine Jackson, Constable 397
Gassen Michel; Constable 398 Dacliche Clervil; Constable 399 Domereo Outten; Constable 400 Sashana Carter; Constable 402 Dujuana Fulford; Constable 403 Maresa Colahar; Constable 404 Demetri Swann; Constable 405 Janell Astwood; Constable 406 Louise Joseph-Belzi; Constable 407 Tamoy Bascoe; Constable 408 Antonella Francis; and Constable 409 Tlincha Garconville. The officers all performed to a high standard throughout the training with several receiving formal recognition, namely: Constable Decliche Clervil who received the highest award the
‘Baton of Honour’. Constable Clervil was also recognised for high standards of drill and deportment. Constable Bascoe received the Director’s Award, Constable Belzi received an award for Leadership, Constable Swann was recognised for his excellence in firearms training and Constable Colahar was recognised for her high standard of defensive driving. The graduation included drill and fitness displays with members of the RTCIPF team participating in both. Commenting on the deportment of the trainees, Sergeant Clarke
said: “It was an esteemed pleasure to be tasked as Squad Instructor for these 13 men and women who over the last five months have been pushed mentally and physically and challenged to the brink of their limits and beyond. “I applaud each of them for their courage and outstanding performance while going through the most rigorous, intense and final process of becoming police officers. I encourage them to demonstrate fairness in the execution of their duties and by doing so through professionalism, work towards building safer communities in the Turks and Caicos Islands."

MSMEs to gain more from Foreign Direct Investment – New investment policy underway
A new investment policy that will ensure Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is channelled into the development and support of TCI’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is in the pipeline. The policy will seek to transform the development incentive for the FDI in an effort to maximise and support the development of Domestic Direct Investment, according to Premier Hon Charles Washington Misick. During his address, at the Third Annual Invest TCI Economic Conference, Misick said the Government along with Invest TCI is in the process of fine-tuning the policy which will be unveiled soon. “We have been looking at it over and over because we want to make sure that the policy is properly informed by the people who will have to use it, people who will have to benefit from the new investment
policy, to ensure it is consistent with the overall development tool that the country has set out in the TCI vision 2040 document, as well as the recommendations in the 2017 skills audit report.” He revealed that the policy will also encompass the United Nations Convention on Trade and Development Investment Policy Framework for Sustainable Development. This, he pointed out, would suit the peculiar needs of the TCI to prioritise inclusive growth and sustainable development by seeking to link the policy to the territory’s overall development strategy. He said: “There are too many times we have policies that have no linkages or developing strategy.” CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Hon Misick underscored that in
order for the territory to succeed in this avenue it will require environmental, social, and good corporate responsibility from all businesses. “There is whitewashing and greenwashing that goes on operating as corporate social responsibility.” He also lambasted businesses in the private sector for reneging on their corporate duties and called on them to keep their promises. “We want to see real responsibility from the private sector, it is not something we want to legislate, we could legislate it but we would prefer not to go that route. “The spin-off for FDI ought to increase the pool of funding for domestic investment. “If it is not doing that, then something is wrong. “We can't have a situation like that and I'm appealing to the
big fishes in the pond, you can't vertically integrate so that you own everything. “You have a responsibility to cross-fertilise all the businesses and create those linkages. “You can't come here as a developer of a hotel and end up doing small construction jobs, that is not right. “And you can't expect the government to sit around and allow that to happen, so we will have thresholds in Foreign Direct Investment. “We will not allow someone to come in with $35 and open an ice cream shop. “That is not in the interest of the Turks and Caicos people and I want to be frank about that. “This issue of corporate governance, responsibility has to be real, it has to be genuine, it can't just be a way to hoodwink people”, he added.
He stressed that the new investment policy will make provision for select incentives to go directly to MSMEs and startups reserved and restricted largely to TCI Island investors. “I believe there is a space within partnership, collaborations and optimising cross-organisational activities. “So, based on other moving parts in the economy and government, we hope to roll out the new policy by the end of the summer and that all of us will engage with Invest TCI suggest inputs into what we can do with the investment policy arising from that.” The Premier added that his government will make increasing levels of funding available to support the MSME sector and improve other forms of domestic investment including facilitating domestic capital formation.

PM Davis pledges solar power field by next year PRIME Minister Philip “Brave” Davis said this week that the government has made a commitment to have a 60 megawatt solar power field by next year. Mr Davis said at a press conference that by 2023 the government would be using a mix of fossil fuel and solar power, which he submits will reduce the country’s carbon footprint. “There are plans to move away from fossil fuels, but unfortunately the experts predicted that it’s going to be very difficult for us to wean completely off of fossil fuels, but many steps in reducing our reliance on it will help,” he said. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels was in the Progressive Liberal Party’s Blueprint for Change as well as a pledge to move the country towards 30 per cent renewable energy by 2030. The Prime Minister said he is taking this pledge very seriously as he announced that by the first part of next year there will be “at least a solar field that will provide at least 60 megs of electric power. So we’ll have a mix of fossil fuel and solar power, which will again prove to reducing our carbon footprint in New Providence”.
The Bahamian Prime Minister said the Government is investing in a 60 megawatt solar power field. Teams have also been sent to the MICAL constituency, to make assessments on a pilot programme on retrofitting government buildings with solar panels with the aim of using this pilot as a guide to move all of the government
buildings in the Family Islands to solar power within the next “two to three years”. There are “no active” oil licences under review or consideration by the government either and the Prime Minister,
admitting his involvement as a lawyer for several oil companies in the past, noted: “I have now identified what I will do in respect to the prospect of oil being in our jurisdiction. “You would have heard me speak when the cry about drilling was in the air and there was much controversy over the fact of drilling. My response was always; don’t be concerned about drilling, be concerned about exploitation. Because drilling is only to discover whether or not you have oil. “The fact that you have oil doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to extract the oil and with this new advent of being able to sell your carbon credits and under Article Six of the Paris Agreement we can have what they call additionality.” He explained that additionality is not about exploiting natural resources that increase carbon emissions and/or preserving habitats that absorb carbon. Additionality is a defining concept of carbon-offset projects. To qualify as a genuine carbon offset, the reductions achieved by a project need to be additional to what would have happened if the
project had not been carried out. If carbon credits are awarded to activities that would have happened anyway, emissions are allowed to rise without a corresponding cut elsewhere, therefore making the process meaningless. So essentially the government is looking to receive carbon credits for oil it chose not to extract. Mr Davis added: “So what I am now embarking upon is, from the information gathered from all of the seismic and data collection about the possibility or probability of oil deposits in our waters in our jurisdiction. Once I have all of that verified and instead of exploiting that, we could then put it on the market for sale on the premise that we will not exploit as long as we collect our carbon credits. So it’s saleable commodity now.” Determining the full nature of the country’s oil deposits is the only way to ensure that carbon credits can be collected. Sean Grazette, director of marketing for EZ Car Sales, also at the press conference, praised the government’s reduction of duty on electric cars to 10 per cent for all vehicles under $70,000 and 25 percent over $70,000.

Gangs, inflation and political crisis bring Haiti economy to brink With gas sales already subsidised by the government at a loss, the Haitian economy -- fragile from incessant crime and political instability -- appears close to collapse as the war in Ukraine sends fuel prices soaring. The global surge in fuel costs comes at the worst possible time for Haitian authorities: Last December, they had for the first time in five years made the highly sensitive move to hike the price at the pump -- just two months before Russia invaded its neighbour. Still well below the global average, Haitians now pay 49 US cents for a litre of gasoline and 84 cents for diesel. UNSUSTAINABLE FUEL SUBSIDIES The state pays the difference to the oil companies, and that gap between what the government pays for fuel and what ordinary Haitians pay at the pump has become unbearably steep since the invasion of Ukraine sent world oil prices skyrocketing. “This year, these fuel subsidies

In cash-strapped Haiti, that is a staggering amount, equalling more than twice the budget of the health ministry. And it does nothing to reduce the misery of the 60 percent of Haitians living below the poverty
line. “This does not help socially because it is a generalized subsidy: we do not target the most disadvantaged people”, said Pharel. “In December, a mechanism was floated to support only the public transport sector, but, so far, it has not been done because of the state’s lack of efficiency,” he said.

country imports five times more food than it exports, the increase in maritime transport costs is aggravating inflation, which had already crossed the 25 percent mark at the start of the year. “We are going to suffer from imported inflation because our main trading partners, the United States and the Dominican Republic, now also have high inflation: at home, we could reach 30 percent this year,” warned Pharel. The specter of the 2008 food riots hangs over Haiti while wheat prices are also soaring due to Russia’s war in Ukraine, the two leading grain-producing countries. FLOUR PRICE UP BY A THIRD “This is beginning to affect the entire production of wheat-based goods in Haiti, like flour or pasta, which have already seen a more than 30 per cent increase since the war” began in Ukraine, said economist Etzer Emile. Haitian households spend 60 percent of their income on food,
according to the national statistics institute, and food insecurity already affected 4.5 million people here even before the outbreak of the war in Europe. “This morning for breakfast, the children asked for bread but we couldn’t buy it: we replaced it with cassava pancakes, even if they don’t like it much,” said Michele, who lives in Port-au- Prince with her mother, sister and three nephews. “You can’t buy as much rice as before. Besides, we don’t have any and are thinking whether to buy more or not”, the young woman said. And these economic challenges come as the Haitian authorities are in deep paralysis, with no institution having the legitimacy to initiate reforms. Appointed in early July, barely 48 hours before the assassination of the late president Jovenel Moïse, Prime Minister Ariel Henry has still not managed to bring together the political class to create a government capable of building consensus.

Turkey wants to be called Türkiye in rebranding move
President Cyril Ramaphosa says there is no basis for the claims that he had acted illegally.
Fraser accuses South Africa president of kidnapping and bribery SOUTH Africa’s former spy chief has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of kidnapping and bribery in a case he has registered with the police. Arthur Fraser said the case related to the alleged attempted theft of $4m (£3.2m) in 2020 at one of the president’s properties and the alleged efforts to conceal what happened. Mr Ramaphosa said “there is no basis for the claims of criminal conduct”. Mr Fraser is seen by some as an ally of former President Jacob Zuma. Some believe the allegations could be linked to wrangles within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ahead of a leadership race in December. The police have confirmed that a case has been registered with them and that “due processes will follow”, which includes an initial investigation. Mr Fraser, who ran the country’s State Security Agency (SSA) between 2016 and 2018, has said he has handed photographs, bank account details and video footage over to the police. In a statement, he alleged that criminals broke into a farm in Limpopo province in February 2020 to steal more than $4m. They were then detained and interrogated on the property and paid to keep quiet about what had happened, the statement alleges. In response, Mr Ramaphosa’s office confirmed that there was a robbery at his farm in Limpopo “in which proceeds from the sale of game were stolen”. The president, who was out of the country at the time, reported the incident to the police’s presidential protection unit, the statement from his office said.
He “stands ready to cooperate with any law enforcement investigation of these matters”, it added. After running the SSA, Mr Fraser went on to head the country’s prison service. Last September, he was responsible for ordering Zuma’s release on medical parole nearly two months into his 15-month prison sentence for contempt of court - a decision which was criticised by many South Africans. He has also been accused of enabling graft while he was running the SSA by witnesses at an inquiry into corruption in the country during the Zuma presidency known as the Zondo commission. Mr Fraser has accused the witnesses of lying about him. Mr Ramaphosa became president in February 2018 after Zuma resigned in the face of numerous corruption allegations, which he denied. The ANC remains divided between supporters of the two men. It is due to choose later this year who will be its presidential candidate for the 2024 elections. The president has made combatting corruption a priority of his government. But his commitment to this has been questioned as the misuse of state funds, especially over money earmarked for fighting Covid-19, has continued during his presidency. Before he became deputy president in 2014, Mr Ramaphosa was a prominent businessman with stakes in mining, telecoms, media, beverage and fast food companies. In 2014, he declared to parliament that he owned $5m in shares as well as 30 townhouses. But it is widely believed that his wealth is greater than that. (BBC)
TURKEY will be known as Türkiye at the United Nations from now on, after it agreed to a formal request from Ankara. Several international bodies will be asked to make the name change as part of a rebranding campaign launched by the Turkish president late last year. “Türkiye is the best representation and expression of the Turkish people’s culture, civilization, and values,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in December. The UN said it made the change as soon as it received the request this week. Most Turks already know their country as Türkiye. However the anglicised Turkey is widely used, even within the country. State broadcaster TRT was quick to make the change as soon as it was announced last year, explaining that among the reasons for the image rebrand was the association with the bird traditionally associated with Christmas, New Year or Thanksgiving. It also pointed out the Cambridge English Dictionary’s definition of one of the meanings of the word as “something that fails badly” or “a stupid or silly person”.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu at the official signing. As part of the re-branding, “Made in Türkiye” will feature on all exported products, and in January a tourism campaign was launched with the catch-phrase “Hello Türkiye”. The move has been met with a mixed reaction online. While government officials support it, others say it is an ineffective distraction as the president gears up for elections next year, amid an economic crisis.
It is not uncommon for countries to change their names. In 2020, The Netherlands dropped Holland in a rebranding move. And before that, Macedonia changed its name to North Macedonia due to a political dispute with Greece, and Swaziland became Eswatini in 2018. Further back in history, Iran used to be called Persia, Siam is now Thailand, and Rhodesia was changed to Zimbabwe. (BBC)

Colombian ‘Chess Player’ drug lord dies in US prison
THE former head of Colombia’s once-powerful Cali drugs cartel has died in prison in the United States. At one point, Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela controlled the vast majority of the world’s cocaine trade and was an arch-nemesis of Pablo Escobar. The 83-year-old was even nicknamed the Chess Player for his
skill at staying one step ahead of rivals and the law. But in 1995 his luck ran out he was arrested in Colombia and eventually extradited to the US in 2004. The former cartel leader was serving a 30-year federal prison sentence in North Carolina where his family says he died of an illness
on Tuesday. At the height of his powers, Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela ran the Cali drugs cartel with his brother Miguel. According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the pair’s Cali gang was responsible for 80% of the world’s total cocaine trade by the mid-1990s.

Progress made in construction of border fence between DR and Haiti PROGRESS is being made in the construction of a border fence between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. This is according to Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Luciano Díaz Morfa, who has been supervising the progress of the work. Following a recent tour of the site, Díaz Morfa, said the programmed activities are proceeding at the planned pace, and the work is advancing. “The fence will benefit both countries because it will allow more efficiency in the control of the migratory flow, in the fight against cattle theft and other illicit activities, such as
drug trafficking, the illegal sale of arms, and the protection of agricultural producers, strengthening the current protection schemes of the border area,” said Diaz Morfa. The head of the Ministry of Defense assured that houses will be built to be delivered to those who need to be displaced from their current residences to make way for the fence.

The Caribbean and Latin America are driving the global tourism revival
Hotels, resorts in Caribbean to achieve 80% of pre-pandemic performance: CHTA When the pandemic hit the world, economies in the Caribbean were among the worst impacted due to their dependency on the tourism sector. The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) says the region’s tourism renaissance is well underway, with certain resorts approaching or surpassing record tourist arrival numbers. Nicola Madden-Greig, president of the CHTA, predicted that, on average, Caribbean hotels and resorts will achieve near to 80% of their pre-pandemic performance this year, with certain places reaching new highs. Pent-up traveller demand the elimination or considerable reduction of travel restrictions, the return of airlifts, appealing hotel bargains and packages, and
a variety of destination and hotel choices and renovations that are now in place are all cited by tourism officials as crucial factors in the resurgence. Greig praised the region’s tourism, health, and government leaders for their efforts over the previous two years to position tourism, the region’s major industry, to rebound from the pandemic. She cited the World Travel and Tourism Council’s revelation at its global summit in Manila last month that the Caribbean and Latin America were driving the global tourism revival. “Thanks to the efforts of many, today’s traveller has numerous options when organising a Caribbean vacation. We’ve seen
an explosion of new and upgraded hotels, as well as infrastructure improvements, during the last decade. “Many hotels and attractions took advantage of the pandemic to strengthen their product and service offerings, as well as recognise the changing expectations of the discriminating tourist. We will continue to provide lodging experiences that appeal to a wide range of traveller interests,” Greig added. “Travelers can enjoy our rich cultural, culinary, and historical treasures in addition to our worldfamous beaches and waterways. We’ve also worked hard to put in place health safety standards that are both effective and nonintrusive,” she added. (WICNews)
assured them that the government will compensate all legitimate owners. Earlier this year, construction started on the concrete barrier that will span nearly half of the 244-mile border between the two countries, that share the island of Hispaniola. Officials in the Dominican Republic claim the wall will reduce flows of migrants, drugs, weapons, and contraband. “The benefit for both nations will be of great importance,” said President Luis Abinader, in a statement made earlier this year at
a ground-breaking ceremony in the border town of Dajabón. While the two countries that make up the island of Hispaniola are close geographically, their differences are stark. The Dominican Republic, with a population of 10.8m, is a booming tourist destination with year-round visitors to its resorts and golf courses. On the other hand, Haiti, with a population of 11.4 million, is the western hemisphere’s poorest country, riddled with crime and mired in political and economic crisis. (CaribbeanNationalWeekly)
The Bahamas says US must do more to control weapons smuggling THE United States needs do more to control the illegal flow of weapons to The Bahamas, the country’s prime minister said yesterday, amid growing concern about gun violence and homicides in the Caribbean nation. More than 90% of guns confiscated and used as murder weapons in The Bahamas can be traced back to American manufacturers and gun shops, according to official figures. “We are saying to the Americans that they need to more,” Prime Minister Philip Davis told reporters on the sidelines of a police conference. “Whereas we don’t want to get involved in their domestic issue of the right to bear
arms, we are concerned that purchasers of guns are not just buying it to bear but rather to export and to traffic.” Davis said he has spoken with high-ranking U.S. officials about the issue, and that they were receptive to his concerns. He declined to identify the officials. The State Department did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Police say 22 people were murdered in The Bahamas in March in what could be one of the highest monthly figures on record, apparently driven by gang conflicts and drug disputes. Police have seized 172 firearms so far this year. (Reuters)

BVI: Belonger status has been dealt with hatefully, immaturely – Premier The territory’s discussions on immigration issues should take a more mature course, Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley has suggested. The Premier was at the time responding to questions from the media about recommendations from the Commission of Inquiry (COI) report in relation to residency and Belonger status. Calling it a “hot one“, Dr Wheatley recommended that persons read the section of the COI report on Belongership issues. And while arguing that the issues of Belongership and residency status in the territory had been dealt with hatefully and immaturely in the past, Dr Wheatley said recommendations from the report suggesting that Belongership should be granted in accordance with the law, were part of the proposal sent by his government to the United
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley replaced Andrew Fahie. Kingdom (UK). “The report speaks to having a review and of course, that review
will inform our policies and any amendments to the law,“ Premier Wheatley stated.
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT DIALOGUE NEEDED Premier Wheatley said immigration issues have been something that persons are very passionate about in the BVI, adding that it has been an issue that leads to quite a bit of discord and disharmony in the community. “We have to approach this situation, first of all, with a great deal of maturity. I think when we discuss the issues, that as we have in the past, we’ve done so in a very immature way in my view and in some instances in a hateful way,“ the Premier said. Premier Wheatley said he was calling for an open and transparent dialogue on immigration issues in the community. “Not one where one group is attacking another group, but let’s look at what’s in the best interest
of the Virgin Islands and the Virgin Islands moving forward for generations to come,” he added. The Premier noted that the COI report has brought much information to the forefront and said persons have been able to see what has been taking place by reading it. “We want to continue to build our society to be a place that’s inclusive, but also that’s a place that of course where we preserve our history, our tradition, our culture, where we are able to provide opportunities for all,” he stated. The Premier said he believes this could be done with persons who have come from all over the world while ensuring that those persons in the BVI don’t feel forgotten, lost, and as if they are disappearing.

Trafficking of illegal firearms severely threatens CARICOM region – Jamaica minister THE illicit trafficking of illegal firearms is a significant challenge for the Caribbean region, noted Dr Horace Chang, chairman of the CARICOM Council for National Security and Law Enforcement (CONSLE) and Jamaica’s National Security Minister. Addressing last week’s Committee meeting on Hemispheric Security at the Organization of American States, by video-conference, Dr Chang pointed out that “the Caribbean accounts for approximately 23 per cent of all recorded homicides, with an average homicide rate of 15.1 per 100,000 people, which is nearly three times the world average.” He added that “the proliferation and increased access to illegal firearms accounts for the high level of armed violence and insecurity within our regions.” Dr Chang pointed out that “the firearm is the weapon of choice for committing homicides and other acts of crime and violence. In this regard, I have to underscore the need for greater collaboration and partnership to combat the scourge of the illicit trafficking of firearms. “This is directly linked to the steps being taken by IMPACS to strengthen the capacity of member states in the region to successfully detect and prevent these illegal firearms from entering our shores.” In addition, he said, “the region
must continue to commit to regional mechanisms that support firearm ballistics gathering and information sharing.” Turning to drug trafficking, Dr Chang pointed out that “the illicit trafficking in drugs through our regions operates in tandem with mechanisms supporting the legal trade. “The UNODC reports that the number of new psychoactive substances emerging on illicit drug markets has increased six-fold in the past decade and reached a record high of over 1,000 unique substances in 2020.” “Specifically, annual global seizures of amphetamine-type stimulants increased by 64 per cent in 2019, while opioid use disorder deaths have gone up by 71 per cent over the past decade. To cauterise the challenges identified facing our regions, there is an urgent need to implement comprehensive coordinated responses to drug demand and illicit drug trafficking,” the CONSLE chairman declared. “In the area of maritime security, the challenges faced have underscored the need to leverage technology, including through the use of satellite imagery, radar and surveillance systems, and other maritime domain awareness infrastructure.” He added, “We therefore have to identify opportunities to reengage our strategic partners to
Illegal guns continue to flow into the region. strengthen the existing maritime framework and build on the work of CARICOM IMPACS, which provides maritime data on high risk vessels on a daily basis to several countries in the region. “The commitment to enhancing maritime security, especially with countries in CARICOM having landmasses one-tenth of their
Exclusive Economic Zones, is of paramount importance.” Dr Chang said this was especially important as “member states are located along the crossroad between North and South America, which intersects the transshipment routes in the illegal guns for drug trade. This reality warrants coordinated responses
to maritime crime and maritime domain awareness.” Dr Chang pointed out that in small-island and low-lying coastal developing countries such as the CARICOM member states, the effects of transnational organised crime may be seen in the growing environmental threats caused by the illicit trade in natural resources, deforestation and coastal management. He said in this regard, CARICOM’s Implementation Agency for Crime and Security, IMPACS, was working with member states to leverage the border security systems in the region, to fully utilise passenger name record and advanced passenger information, to identify persons of interest through risk assessments and pre-screening. He advised that this comprehensively addressed all forms of trafficking in persons, migrant smuggling and illegal migration, which are integral in the fight against transnational organised crime. Dr Chang said IMPACS has been taking steps towards the maintenance and strengthening of information sharing and communication between law enforcement counterparts in the region in respect of human trafficking, and all other relevant cross border security considerations.

Platinum Jubilee: Crowds cheer Queen at palace as Jubilee begins CROWDS have cheered the Queen as she watched the Trooping the Colour parade from Buckingham Palace at the start of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations. In a Jubilee message, the Queen said she was “inspired” by the goodwill of the nation. The 96-year-old also appeared on the balcony with senior members of the royal family to view an RAF flypast. Millions are gearing up for street parties to mark 70 years of her reign, the longest by a British monarch. The official celebrations began when thousands of people turned out in brilliant sunshine on The Mall for Trooping the Colour, the military parade which marks the monarch’s official birthday. Riding on horseback and wearing the Platinum Jubilee medal with his uniform, the Prince of Wales took the birthday salute from the troops on behalf of the Queen. But as the soldiers marched towards Buckingham Palace at the end of the parade, the Queen
emerged on to the balcony, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. The Queen, who was using a walking stick, has limited her appearances in recent months due to mobility issues. More than 1,500 officers and soldiers along with 350 horses from the Household Division took part in Trooping the Colour, the first time the parade has been staged in full since the pandemic. In a statement ahead of the four-day Bank Holiday weekend, the Queen thanked the public for organising celebratory events and said “many happy memories” would be made. “I continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me, and hope that the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last 70 years, as we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm,” she said. After the parade, more than 70 aircraft - including Spitfires from World War Two, Apache helicopters,
Senior royals gathered on Buckingham Palace balcony for the first time since the pandemic. Typhoons and the Red Arrows - took part in the flypast over Buckingham Palace. Several jets flew in formation to form the number 70 in honour of the Queen’s long reign. Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - flanked the monarch on the balcony - the Royal Family’s first gathering there since 2019.
It had been decided only “working royals” would appear, which excluded the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Queen’s son, the Duke of York. Prince Harry and Meghan, who now live in the US, watched Trooping the Colour from a vantage point in the Duke of Wellington’s former office, overlooking Horse Guards Parade. They travelled with their children Archie, three, and Lilibet,
who turns one on Saturday. Lilibet is the Queen’s family nickname. Prince Andrew, whose royal titles were returned to the Crown amid a lawsuit in the US, did not attend. The parade was also briefly interrupted by protestors, claimed to be from animal rights and climate campaign group Animal Rebellion. Police arrested several demonstrated as their entered the ceremonial route on the Mall. (BBC)
Gunman kills four people at US hospital FOUR people were killed in Tulsa on Wednesday after a gunman -- who was later found dead -opened fire on the second floor of a medical building, authorities in Oklahoma said. It was just madness inside, with hundreds of rooms and hundreds of people trying to get out of the building,” Tulsa police Capt. Richard Meulenberg told CNN. The mass shooting is among the latest instances nationwide of first responders and civilians coming face-to-face with the threat of gun violence in public places. It comes more than two weeks after a racist assault at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a bloody attack at a church in California; and eight days after a heartbreaking massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Law enforcement received a call just before 5 p.m. Wednesday about a person with a firearm at the Natalie Medical Building, a physicians’ office facility on the campus of Saint Francis Hospital, Tulsa police Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish said at a news conference. Responding officers who arrived within minutes “were hearing shots
Emergency personnel work at the scene of a shooting at the St. Francis Hospital campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 1, 2022. in the building, and that’s what directed them to the second floor,” Dalgleish said. The gunman was found dead by police as they worked their way inside the building, Meulenberg said, and has not been publicly identified. Police suspect the gunman’s fatal wounds were self-inflicted,
and two firearms -- described by Meulenberg as a semiautomatic rifle and a semiautomatic pistol -believed to have been used in the shooting were found next to him. Two of the deceased were found in the same room as the gunman, the police captain said. It was unclear whether the four people killed were medical
staffers, patients or visitors, said Dalgleish, who said the shooting took place at an orthopedic center in the building. In addition, fewer than 10 people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Meulenberg said. Authorities are trying to determine if they were wounded by gunfire or during the chaos of escaping the
scene, he said. No officers were injured. Investigators are working to determine the gunman’s motive, although the shooting was not believed to be indiscriminate, Meulenberg told CNN’s Don Lemon. “He very purposefully went to this location, went to a very specific floor, and shot with very specific purpose,” he said. “This was not a random shooting by this individual.” Witnesses describe frantic first moments Lachelle Nathan told CNN affiliate KTUL that she had arrived in her vehicle with her daughterin-law and grandchildren for a doctor’s appointment when she saw multiple officers race toward the complex. “It’s awful, it’s sad. My daughter-in-law is from Buffalo, so now it’s so close to home. It’s not even safe if you come outside anymore, you know?” Nathan said. “I mean, you see it on TV,” her daughter-in-law said, “but you don’t think it’s actually going to happen right in front of your eyes, so this is a wakeup call for my kids, this can really happen anywhere and it’s very scary.”

Ukraine war: Russia says US ‘adding fuel to fire’ by sending longer-range rockets RUSSIA has accused the US of seeking to prolong the war in Ukraine after President Biden said he would supply Kyiv with new long-range missiles. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the US was “intentionally adding fuel to the fire” with the deliveries. “Such supplies do not contribute to the Ukrainian leadership’s willingness to resume peace negotiations,” he added. Separately, the German government has promised to send an air defence system to Ukraine. Chancellor Olaf Scholz told MPs that the IRIS-T system was the most modern Germany possessed and would enable Ukraine to defend an entire city against Russian air attacks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov hit out against the deliveries and said Mr Biden’s announcement increased the risk of a “third country” being dragged into the conflict. The long-range missiles are to help Ukrainian troops strike enemy forces more precisely from a longer distance. The US had previously been unwilling to provide the weapons out of fear they could be used against targets in Russia, but the US says Kyiv has given assurances that this will not happen. On Wednesday, Mr Biden said the lethal aid would strengthen Kyiv’s negotiating position against Russia and make a diplomatic solution more likely.
support package for Ukraine that will be formally unveiled later on Wednesday, White House officials said. Helicopters, anti-tank weapons, tactical vehicles and spare parts are to be included in what will be the 11th package of military aid approved by the US for Ukraine since the invasion began in February.
A White House official said the weapons would include mediumrange High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). A senior US official said the new weapons package would include four M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). “These are precision guided systems with extended range. And so for high value targets that that allow them to keep some of the pressure off of Ukrainian forces on the front, we think these systems will be very useful,” Undersecretary for Defense Dr Colin H Kahl said. The systems can launch multiple precision-guided missiles at targets as far as 70km (45 miles) away - far further than the artillery that Ukraine currently
has. They are also believed to be more accurate than their Russian equivalents. White House officials agreed to provide the rockets, they said, only after gaining assurances from President Volodomyr Zelensky that the weapons would not be used to attack targets inside Russia. “We are not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia,” Mr Biden wrote on Wednesday. Mr Zelensky confirmed this in an interview for US network Newsmax. “We’re not interested in what is happening in Russia,” he said.
“We’re only interested in our own territory in Ukraine.” But Mr Peskov said Moscow did not trust Mr Zelensky’s remarks. “In order to have trust, we need to have experience of Kyiv fulfilling its promises, but there is none,” he said, quoted by Ria news agency. Addressing the US announcement, he said: “We believe the US is directly and intentionally adding fuel to the fire... The US is obviously holding the line that it will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.” The latest rockets will be the centrepiece of a $700m (£556m)
RUSSIA ACCUSED OF ‘MADNESS’ AFTER STRIKES ON SEVERODONETSK Meanwhile fighting has intensified around the eastern city of Severodonetsk, where the head of the city administration says Ukrainian forces now hold just 20% of the city. Mr Zelensky accused Russia of “madness” after its troops targeted the city’s chemical factory Azot during an artillery barrage. Regional head Serhiy Gaidai said civilians were sheltering from missile and artillery attacks at the plant. “There are civilians there in bomb shelters, there are quite a few of them, but it will not be a second Azovstal as that plant had a huge underground city … which isn’t there at Azot,” Mr Gaidai said. Capturing Severodonetsk, the final major city still held by Ukraine in the Luhansk region, is a key aim of Russia’s invasion and Western officials say Moscow is making “incremental but pretty steady gains”. (BBC)
Canada says China ‘buzzing’ military flights in Asia CANADIAN military aircraft operating in Asia have been repeatedly “buzzed” by Chinese jets at dangerously close distances, Ottawa says. Canada says that its aircrews haves had to alter their path to avoid collisions while operating in international airspace near North Korea. It has called the Chinese behaviour unprofessional and potentially risky. China has not commented on the incidents, which Canada says are being addressed diplomatically. In a statement, Canadian armed forces media relations chief Dan Le Bouthillier said that the incidents took place during Operation Neon,
Canada’s contribution to the implementation of United Nations sanctions against North Korea. “In these interactions, PLAAF [People’s Liberation Army Air Force] aircraft did not adhere to international air safety norms,” Mr Le Bouthillier said. “These interactions are unprofessional and/or put the safety of our RCAF [Royal Canadian Air Force] personnel at risk.” The Canadian aircraft involved - CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft - were operating from Kadena air base in Japan between 26 April and 26 May. Mr Le Bouthillier added that in some instances, Canadian aircrew felt “sufficiently at risk” to quickly
Chinese military aircraft at an airshow in September 2021. modify their own flight paths to avoid potential collisions. Chinese aircraft were reportedly close enough that their crews were “very clearly visible”. While it is unclear when the buzzing incidents took place, Mr
Le Bouthillier said that they are increasingly frequent. The BBC has reached out to the Chinese government for comment. Similar Chinese behaviour has been reported in the past by Canadian, US and other allied
aircraft and vessels operating in the Pacific. In 2017, for example, Chinese jets came within 150 feet (45 metres) of a US aircraft, a move that the US Air Force called “unprofessional”.

Jamaica legislator calls for Marley to be named a national hero A JAMAICAN legislator is asking the country’s parliament to name reggae legend Bob Marley a national hero, an effort that comes amid rising nationalism in Englishspeaking Caribbean countries that are distancing themselves from their colonial past. The proposal by lawmaker Lisa Hanna would make the iconic singer a national hero, a title already held by seven Jamaicans including Black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey and the nation’s first prime minister Alexander
Bustamante. It comes months after Barbados bestowed a similar honor on pop singer Rihanna during a November ceremony in which the island severed its ties to the British monarchy and created a republic – a process Jamaica is also considering. “Bob Marley deserves that recognition because he lived a very short life that transformed the thinking of people around the world,” Hanna told Reuters in an interview at her Kingston office. It is not immediately evident
June 4-10, 2022
Bob Marley died in 1981 of melanoma, a form of skin cancer. when parliament will vote on the measure. Hanna hopes it will be approved in time for the 60th anniversary of the country’s independence on Aug 6. Marley was born in 1945 in the rural parish of St. Ann to a white English father and a Black Jamaican mother. When he was 12, he moved to Trench Town in Kingston, where he and musicians Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh developed what would become a globally recognized
reggae sound. Marley died in 1981 of melanoma, a form of skin cancer. His rise to fame helped create a positive image for Jamaica, which at the time was beset by deep political division that played out in violent street confrontations and shootouts between gangs of opposing ideologies. “It was the possibility that Jamaica could actually have a superstar in the middle of the poverty and the violence,” said Matthew Smith, a Jamaican
historian at the University College of London. Marcia Griffiths, who sang for years with Marley, including on classic tracks such as “No Woman, No Cry,” also supports Hanna’s proposal. “Bob is a legend and an icon who has done so much for the entire world,” she said in an interview. “The power and the force of music can change the world, and that is why God gave us a man like Bob.” (Reuters)

Depp-Heard trial: Jury sides mostly with Depp in defamation case A US jury has found Amber Heard defamed ex-husband Johnny Depp with an article in which she claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse. Jurors awarded Mr Depp - who denied abusing Ms Heard - $15m (£12m) in compensatory and punitive damages. Ms Heard, 36, won one of three counter-claims against Mr Depp, 58, and was awarded $2m in compensatory damages. The Hollywood actors, who divorced in 2017, presented warring versions during the trial of their doomed relationship. Over six weeks, the court in Fairfax, Virginia, heard tawdry details of Mr Depp and Ms Heard’s volatile marriage, and its unhappy
ending. Polls suggested more Americans were interested in the courtroom drama than the war in Ukraine or a potentially historic ruling on abortion expected any day from the US Supreme Court. Coverage of the trial - which was televised and livestreamed - hit billions of views on social media. After nearly two days of deliberations, jurors found on Wednesday that Ms Heard’s statements about her marriage were “false” and she had acted with “actual malice”. But they also found that Mr Depp had defamed Ms Heard when his lawyer gave a statement to the Daily Mail in 2020 calling her abuse allegations a hoax.
Johnny Depp gestures to court spectators during the trial. As the seven-member jury delivered its verdict, screams and chants of “Johnny, Johnny, Johnny” erupted outside the court. Mr Depp was not in court due to “previously scheduled work commitments”, his spokesperson said. The actor was said to be watching from the United Kingdom, where he has played three surprise concerts alongside his friend, British musician Jeff Beck, since the jury began deliberating on Friday. On the eve of the verdict, Mr
Depp received a standing ovation after performing with Mr Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London. In a statement on Wednesday, he said “the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.” He added, in Latin: “Truth never perishes.” Mr Depp’s statement continued: “I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them
never give up.” Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Penney Azcarate reduced the punitive damages awarded to Depp to $350,000, the statutory cap in Virginia. That leaves his total damages at $10.4m. Ms Heard was not awarded any punitive damages. The actress, who sat stonyfaced throughout the reading of the verdict, said in a statement that she was “heartbroken”. She argued that the jury had ignored evidence in her favour.

Best exercise time may differ for men and women, study suggests Wet wipes flushed down the toilet can end up on beaches.
Harmful bacteria survives longer on plastic Scottish beach waste BACTERIA on wet wipes and cotton buds washed up on Scottish beaches can survive long enough to pose a risk to human health, researchers have found. A Stirling University team found “concentrated reservoirs” of faecal bacteria on plastic waste on 10 beaches along the Firth of Forth estuary. It found that bacteria such as E. coli were binding to the plastic more often than natural material like seaweed. The team said the volume of waste discovered was “shocking”. Prof Richard Quilliam,
who led the team, said: “We expected to collect a few wet wipes everywhere, but the team came back with bags of them.” The professor said: “There has been much coverage recently of sewage waste being directly discharged into rivers and the sea, especially after heavy rain when some sewage treatment plants exceed their capacity for effective treatment. “Some of the plastic waste we have recovered could be from legacy sewage spills that have persisted in the environment, but the volume of waste we are seeing is shocking.”

EXERCISE is good for you whenever you do it, but the time of day to achieve the best result may be different for women and men, according to a US study. It found women burned more body fat during morning exercise, whereas evenings counted more for men. Much of what is known on this topic is based on studies on men, the researchers say. Differences in hormones, in biological clocks and sleep-wake cycles between the sexes, could all play a role. The study of 30 men and 26 women - all active and healthy, and between 25 and 55 years old - lasted 12 weeks and monitored the effects of a varied fitness programme, which included stretching, sprint, resistance and endurance training. One group exercised for an hour before 08:30 while the other group followed the same activities in the evening, between 18:00 and 20:00. All participants followed a speciallydesigned meal plan. The researchers tested everyone’s blood pressure and body fat over the course of the study, as well as their flexibility, strength and aerobic power at the start and end. All those who took part in the study improved their overall health and performance over the 12week trial, no matter when they exercised. “The best time for exercise

Early morning exercise could benefit women who want to reduce body fat and blood pressure.
is the best time you can do it and fit it into your schedule,” says Dr Paul Arciero, lead study author and professor of health and human physiological sciences at Skidmore College, New York state. But he suggests there is “something else going on” which may mean the ideal time of day to exercise is different for women and men. EARLY OR LATE? Based on the results, women interested in reducing fat around their middle and reducing their blood pressure should aim to exercise in the morning, Dr Arciero says. This is important because belly - or abdominal - fat
wraps around the body’s internal organs, including the liver, and can be dangerous. However, he says women trying to improve muscle strength in their upper body as well as their overall mood and food intake, should take evening exercise, The men in the trial were less sensitive to the time of day they exercised, improving their strength in the mornings and evenings. But evening exercise was found to be “ideal for men interested in improving heart and metabolic health, as well as emotional wellbeing,” says Dr Arciero. Improving metabolic health means reducing the risk of conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes,
heart disease and stroke. It’s not clear exactly why men and women’s responses to the timing of exercise were so different, and the researchers say more research is needed to find out more. They say women may burn more body fat in the morning because they are more likely to have excess belly fat. The body’s internal rhythms may also be a factor. The study, published in Frontiers in Physiology, tracked people with a healthy weight, but the researchers say the programme could also work on people who are overweight or obese. “They have more opportunity to benefit,” says Dr Arciero.

WHO says monkeypox has been spreading undetected as global cases rise to more than 550 THE World Health Organisation on Wednesday confirmed more than 550 monkeypox cases across 30 countries as the virus continues to spread across the globe. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the sudden appearance of monkeypox in multiple countries across the world indicates the virus has been spreading undetected for some time outside the West and Central African nations where it is usually found. The virus may have been transmitted for months or years undetected though investigations are ongoing and there are clear no answers yet, according to Dr. Rosamund Lewis, the WHO’s monkeypox technical lead.
“We don’t really know whether it’s too late to contain. What WHO and all member states are trying to do is prevent onward spread,” Lewis said during a news conference in Geneva on Wednesday. Contact tracing and isolating patients who have monkeypox are crucial to stopping the spread, she said. Tedros said most of the cases have been reported by men who sought care at sexual health clinics after they’ve had sex with other men and developed symptoms. He emphasized that anyone can catch monkeypox through close physical contact, warned against stigmatizing people and called on countries to increase surveillance to identify cases in the broader

population. Monkeypox symptoms generally resolve on their own, Tedros said, though the disease can be severe in some cases. No deaths have been reported from the current outbreaks in North America and Europe. However, monkeypox has also not spread yet among more vulnerable populations such
as pregnant women and children in these regions, said Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s Covid-19 technical lead. However, the WHO has been monitoring monkeypox in Africa for five decades and deaths are reported on the continent every year, Lewis said. More than 70 deaths from monkeypox have
been reported across five African countries in 2022, she said. Monkeypox cases have been increasing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in recent years which may be because vaccination against smallpox was halted in 1980. Monkeypox is in the same virus family as smallpox though it is milder.
Coffee linked to lower risk of death, according to study
A new report suggests coffee is linked to lower risk of death.
COFFEE lovers everywhere may now have another reason to justify that morning cup of Joe. A new study reveals that drinking coffee may lower the risk of death. The study, published Monday, in the Annals of Internal Medicine looked at 120,000 people in the U.K. who regularly drank unsweetened or sugar-sweetened coffee over seven years. The study suggests those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups a day had a lower risk of death during those seven years than non-coffee drinkers, even if they added a teaspoon of sugar —
not artificial sweetener — to every cup. According to NBC News, the researchers didn’t look at causality, so they couldn’t say whether coffee is directly responsible for the outcome. “Biologically, it is plausible that coffee could actually confer some direct health benefits,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Wee edited the study and wrote an accompanying editorial about the results. But she added: “We can’t say for sure that it’s the coffee drinking per
se that leads to the lower mortality risk.” According to the findings, people who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 percent to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period than people who didn’t drink coffee at all. The participants in the study were roughly 56 years old, on average, and they were recruited from 2006 to 2010. The researchers accounted for factors like diet, smoking, socioeconomic status, pre-existing health problems and exposure to air pollution, according to the report. (Al.com)

Astronomers detect a new radio source of unknown origin DURING radio continuum observations of a spiral galaxy known as NGC 2082, Australian astronomers have discovered a mysterious bright and compact radio source, which received designation J054149.24–641813.7. The origin and nature of this source is unknown and requires further investigation. The finding is reported in a paper published May 23 on the arXiv pre-print repository. In general, radio sources are various objects in the universe that emit relatively large amounts of radio waves. Among the strongest sources of such emission are pulsars, certain nebulas, quasars, and radio galaxies. Now, a team of astronomers led by Joel Balzan of Western Sydney University in Australia, report the finding of a new radio source, whose true nature is still uncertain. While observing NGC 2082 using Australian Square Kilometer Array
Pathfinder (ASKAP), Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and Parkes radio telescope, they identified a strong point radio source positioned 20 arcseconds from the galaxy centre. NGC 2082 is a G-type spiral galaxy in the Dorado constellation, located some 60 million light years away from the Earth, with a diameter of approximately 33,000 light years. “We present radio continuum observations of NGC 2082 using ASKAP, ATCA and Parkes telescopes from 888 MHz to 9,000 MHz. Some 20 arcsec from the centre of this nearby spiral galaxy, we discovered a bright and compact radio source, J054149.24– 641813.7, of unknown origin,” the researchers wrote in the paper. The study found that the radio luminosity of J054149.24– 641813.7 at 888 MHz is at a level of 129 EW/Hz and that it has a flat radio spectral index (about 0.02). This, according to the astronomers,
disfavors the scenario in which J054149.24–641813.7 may be a supernova remnant (SNR) or a pulsar, suggesting that the source may be of thermal origin. The researchers noted that the compact nature of J054149.24– 641813.7 and its location at the outskirts of NGC 2082 are reminiscent of those of some fast radio bursts (FRBs). However, the results suggest that J054149.24– 641813.7 is probably not bright enough to be a persistent radio source with an embedded FRB progenitor. The astronomers concluded that the most likely remaining possibility is that J054149.24– 641813.7 is an extragalactic background source, such as quasi-stellar object (QSO, quasar), radio galaxy or active galactic nucleus (AGN). They added that the flat spectral index together with somewhat weak polarization at 5,500 and 9,000
Astronomers said the strong point radio source is positioned 20 arcseconds from the galaxy centre.
MHz support this hypothesis. However, there is currently no high resolution neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) absorption data for NGC 2082, which could confirm this assumption. “We find that the probability
of finding such a source behind NGC 2082 is P = 1.2 percent, and conclude that the most likely origin for J054149.24–641813.7 is a background quasar or radio galaxy,” the authors of the paper explained. (Phys.org)
World’s biggest plant discovered off Australian coast THE largest known plant on Earth - a seagrass roughly three times the size of Manhattan - has been discovered off the coast of Australia. Using genetic testing, scientists have determined a large underwater meadow in Western Australia is in fact one plant. It is believed to have spread from a single seed over at least 4,500 years. The seagrass covers about 200 sq km (77 sq miles), researchers from the University of Western Australia said. The team stumbled upon the discovery by accident at Shark Bay, about 800km (497 miles) north of Perth.
The seagrass covers an area the size of about 20,000 football fields, researchers say.

They had set out to understand the genetic diversity of the species - also known as ribbon weed which is commonly found along parts of Australia’s coast. Researchers collected shoots from across the bay and examined 18,000 genetic markers to create a “fingerprint” from each sample. They had aimed to discover how many plants made up the meadow. “The answer blew us away - there was just one!” said Jane Edgeloe, the study’s lead author. “That’s it, just one plant has expanded over 180km in Shark Bay, making it the largest known plant on Earth.” The plant is also remarkable

Impressive Argentina beat Italy in Finalissima LIONEL Messi and Angel di Maria shone as Argentina beat Italy at Wembley in the Finalissima - a renewal of the contest between the champions of Europe and South America. Messi’s run and cross set up the opener for Lautaro Martinez, who then turned provider for Di Maria to chip a second. Substitute Paulo Dybala rounded off a handsome win in injury time. Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini played the first half of what was his 118th and final international match. The contest is the first between the two continental champions in 29 years. It is a revival of the Artemio Franchi Cup, competed for twice before - in 1985, when France beat Uruguay and in 1993, when Argentina beat Denmark on penalties. ARGENTINA FURTHER UNDERLINE HUGE POTENTIAL Argentina’s victory in front of 87,112 continues their remarkable run of results since June 2019 they are unbeaten in 32 matches,
winning their first Copa America since 1993 and cruising through qualification for the World Cup in Qatar in the process. Their side at Wembley showcased a host of elite global talent, including a stellar front three of Di Maria, Martinez and Messi, who were a menace throughout with their movement and neat interplay. It was Di Maria and Messi who truly stood out, however, staging their own mini contest with Paris St-Germain club-mate and Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in what became an increasingly one-sided affair. Inside two minutes, Di Maria was attempting to lob Donnarumma from close to halfway. By the end of the first half, he had scored a magnificent chip to follow up Martinez’s opener, created by a typically untouchable Messi run and cross. Italy were simply grateful to their keeper for the string of impressive saves he made to keep the scoreline respectable, before Dybala fired in low with the last kick of the game. Behind Argentina’s front three,
Argentina are now unbeaten in their last 32 matches - a run stretching back to June 2019
Giovani lo Celso and Rodrigo de Paul were a constant source of energy and positivity while Nicolas Otamendi and Cristian Romero provided grit and guile when needed at the back. It is 36 years since Argentina won the World Cup. With this side, marrying its undoubted talent with a supreme work-rate, they would appear to have an excellent chance of ending their wait for a third global crown.
2020 triumph and a chance to say goodbye to one of the modern game’s great defenders. Instead, what started out as a bitter-sweet occasion ended as a chastening one. The Azzurri know it will be at least four years before they have the chance to face elite non-European opposition such as Argentina in a competitive fixture again. They
also now know just how wide the gulf is between themselves and such sides. Their failure to qualify for this year’s World Cup - the second in a row they will have missed - is undoubtedly a huge blow to a nation that had come so far under the management of Roberto Mancini and would have fancied their chances in Qatar.

AC Milan: American investment firm RedBird to buy Serie A club for £1bn AMERICAN investment group RedBird Capital have reached an agreement to buy AC Milan from Elliott Advisors. The deal values AC Milan, who were crowned Serie A champions for the first time in 11 years at the end of last month, at 1.2bn euros (£1bn). RedBird own a stake in Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool and baseball team the Boston Red Sox. Elliott, who took over the club from businessman Li Yonghong, will retain a minority stake and seats on the board. Milan say the transition to new ownership will take place over the summer and that the deal will be completed no later than September. “We are honoured to be a part of AC Milan’s illustrious history and are excited to play a role in the club’s next chapter as it returns to its rightful place at the very top of Italian, European and world football,” RedBird founder Gerry

Salah ‘wishes’ next season could start back right away after Champions League defeat AC Milan won their 19th Serie A title but the first for 11 years on the last day of the season.
Cardinale said. Elliott took over the seven-times European champions four years ago when Chinese businessman Li Yonghong failed to meet some obligations linked to a financing package for the purchase of the club
from Silvio Berlusconi in 2017. Elliott’s Gordon Singer added: “When Elliott acquired AC Milan in 2018, we inherited a club with a tremendous history, but with serious financial problems and a mediocre sporting performance.
LIVERPOOL forward Mohamed Salah says part of him “wishes” next season “starts again tomorrow” following the club’s Champions League final defeat. The Reds were beaten 1-0 by Real Madrid in Paris last Saturday. Liverpool ended the season as Carabao Cup and FA Cup winners and second to Manchester City in the Premier League. “I cannot express in words how much we wanted to bring that trophy back to Liverpool but in the
end we couldn’t,” wrote Salah on social media. “I cannot thank the fans enough for your support. “It has been a very long season but a part of me wishes the next one starts again tomorrow.” The 29-year-old has yet to sign a new contract with the Reds, despite his current deal ending in June 2023, but said in the build-up to the game against Real Madrid that he would be “staying next season for sure” with the Anfield club.

Ukraine stun Scotland to set up Wales play-off final A heroic Ukraine roused a performance of spirit, endeavour and courage to stun Scotland 3-1 and earn a historic World Cup play-off final against Wales. With their country enshrouded in trauma amid the ongoing war with Russia, a team hauled together shone brightly at a sun-drenched Hampden. Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk struck either side of half-time, before Callum McGregor gave Scotland hope late on. But Artem Dovbyk sealed a Qatar 2022 showdown in Cardiff on Sunday with the last kick of the ball.

Djokovic is 30-29 ahead in the head-to-head between the two greats, but Nadal leads 20-8 on clay.
French Open: Rafael Nadal beats Novak Djokovic in late-night thriller RAFAEL Nadal demonstrated once again why he is the greatest player in French Open history by beating long-time rival Novak Djokovic in a late-night thriller to reach the men’s singles semi-finals. Nadal, going for a 14th title, started superbly and fought off resistance from defending champion Djokovic to win 6-2 4-6 6-2 7-6 (7-4) at Roland Garros. Nadal secured victory at 1:15am local time after over four hours on court. The 21-time Grand Slam winner now faces third seed Alexander Zverev on Friday. Germany’s Zverev, 25, reached the semi-finals for the second successive year after surviving teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz’s fightback earlier on Tuesday. “To win against Novak there is
only one way: to play your best from the first point to the last,” said 35-year-old Nadal, who thanked the Paris crowd for showing their “love”. “This is one of those magic nights for me.” Victory for fifth seed Nadal avenged his semi-final defeat by Djokovic last year and extended his all-time record on the Roland Garros clay to 110 wins in 113 matches. The rivalry between the pair is the most enduring in men’s tennis, with Nadal winning their 59th meeting seeing him narrow the gap to 30-29 in the head-tohead. “Nadal showed why he is a great champion and stayed mentally tough. No doubt he deserves it,” said Djokovic. (BBC)
new significance. “The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished. Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.” As it transpired, luck had little to do with their team’s triumph here. In perhaps their finest hour, they were peerless. This match was a long time coming. Originally planned for March but postponed in the hope Ukraine would be capable of playing the fixture, a series of friendlies were all Olexandr Petrakov had to prepare. It’s been a gut-wrenching journey, with the tears on the face Oleksandr Zinchenko in Tuesday’s pre-match news conference offering a poignant reminder to all what this game means against the backdrop of Ukraine’s struggles.
But in Glasgow, there was no emotional fatigue. Not a hint of an adrenaline rush fading, not a whiff of the event getting the better of them. Barring a late rally from the hosts, Petrakov’s men exposed Scotland’s vulnerabilities, which were made even more pronounced by the absence of Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney. The opener on 33 minutes articulated that perfectly. Yarmolenko timed his run on to a through ball to perfection as Scotland’s high line failed. It was just him and the whites of Craig Gordon’s eyes. Those eyes soon gazed up as the ball floated sublimely over the goalkeeper’s head and into the back of the net. Steve Clarke shuffled his pack at half-time, throwing on Ryan Christie. But just four minutes after the restart, Scotland were again ripped open with ease. Oleksandr Karavaev was given the freedom of Mount Florida to bowl in another cross and Yaremchuk dealt with Aaron Hickey’s attention without much trouble, his arching header back across goal looping in. Clarke stood still at the edge of his technical area as the Benfica striker raced to his countrymen and women behind the goal. In truth, the warning signs had been there. Gordon had denied Viktor Tsygankov on the half volley, while the Hearts goalkeeper saved from Yarmolenko at point-
blank range with the game goalless. Then came the moment when Scotland saw their world flash in front of them. John McGinn, the Tartan Army’s darling, was gifted a header from six yards after Georgiy Bushchan flapped at a cross. With the goal at his mercy, the Aston Villa man headed wide. He looked on in disbelief. On the touchline, Clarke seemed unmoved, preparing two substitutes for a late charge. Scotland charged but toiled still, yet with 11 minutes they were gifted a lifeline. McGregor’s effort was again not dealt with by an increasingly rattled Bushchan, who palmed the ball into the air and just over the line before it was hacked clear. Hampden erupted in a primal roar of desperate hope rather than founded expectation. But as Scotland pushed, they were even more exposed at the back. A series of long punts in the closing stages broke down, with one final roll of the dice allowing the Ukrainians to burst forward deep into injury time. Substitute Dovbyk had all the time he wished to eventually dispatch the ball by Gordon. The Dnipro-1 forward, who has not played a competitive match since December, showed little emotion as the ball ruffled the net. Around him, his compatriots celebrated wildly on an astonishing night for Ukraine as a football team, and a nation. (BBC)

Ritchie however noted that the visiting side will be a “tough opponent” but that TCI can use their home ground advantage. Although Bonaire is not a part of FIFA, they have had playing experience with a welldeveloped team. Ritchie said that TCI has
been preparing and “are ready” to kick off their Nation League campaign. With skipper Billy Forbes expected back for the match, the TCI would have an edge, especially if the home crowd play their part. After Friday’s clash, the senior footballers will battle against Sint Maarten on June 14. Tickets will not be sold at the venue on match day, but is available at the TCIFA National Academy General Secretariat (Office) Venetian Road and at Caicos Mart (Gas Station) in South Dock Road.
The senior cyclists battled over 51 miles.
Kavin Ewing placed fifth, Chevron Bishop sixth and Matthew Williams seventh. Williams was also first in the Men’s Masters II. The Cadets also competed, but over a shorter distance. In the Cadet III Division, Pari Ochani finished ahead of Yash Ochani with Kavya Mirwani finishing third, Kairo Isaac fourth and Naira Mirwani fifth.
