DIVING INTO DIRECTORSHIP

Michael Clarke Achieves Aquatic Heights at Sandals Resorts International It was a dive in waters near Discovery Bay — something Michael Clarke had done a thousand times before. But little did he know that this particular plunge was one he'd never forget. As he explored those endless blue waters, a large shadow appeared in the sea, shifting his gaze to what he then discovered to be the gentle majesty of a whale shark — the largest of any fish alive today. It's moments like those that continue to remind him of his passion for the water. Even as a toddler, Clarke immersed himself in the sea - or any body of water actually - something he only enjoyed as a pastime. Today, however, this veteran has emerged as the highest certified Watersports Specialist in the Caribbean, and the man charged with spearheading the entire water sporting operations for Sandals and Beaches resorts across the region. Clarke, Sandals’ Corporate Director, Watersports, is now an authority on aquatic sports – including pools and the intricacies of building and maintaining them – and holds the distinction of being the only person in the region certified to educate PADI dive instructors. Raised on the northern coastal area of Jamaica, Clarke, like the tourists who visit regularly, was drawn to the island’s inviting waters — a grip from which he could hardly be pulled away. No one knows this truth better than Clarke's own mother who quickly learned of her son's aquaphilia. "My mother would eventually have to find someone to leave me with for the rest of the day each time we visited a body of water because it was always a fight when it was time to leave," Clarke recalls of his childhood. His early training in watersports was nurtured by his brother Clifton Miller, who exposed Clarke to skiing, operating boats, snorkeling, among other things. The young aquaphile attended college while working parttime until he completed his studies and started his first job in watersports where he was introduced to diving and the opportunity to earn his first certification. Before long, Clarke started his own business which he operated for many years; and overtime, he took his skills and his personal love for the water and wove them into a story of resiliency, hard work, inspiration and opportunity. Perhaps, though, it was in 2002 when he joined Beaches Ocho Rios (formerly Beaches Boscobel) under the Sandals Resorts International banner that he was presented with his greatest opportunity yet. It widened his appetite for personal development. But more importantly than that, Clarke joining the Sandals family was the alchemy needed

for further development of dive instruction training programmes in the Caribbean and its islands that richly depend on the blue economy. As Clarke would tell it, back then, instructors would have to come from other parts of the world just to administer training and exams to those interested in becoming certified dive instructors. He recalls one occasion when he had to travel to the Cayman Islands to complete his dive instructor certification course because there were not enough persons to sit the exam in Jamaica; especially since the instructor had to travel from the United States to oversee it. Getting to that point wasn’t at all easy, as Clarke had to train and complete various levels of rigorous certification processes to become a dive instructor. He first had to get certified in Open-Water Diving – beginner and advanced – and master the tools needed to get certified as a Rescue Diver as well as a PADI Divemaster. Long before sitting his exam, Clarke began making waves at Sandals, and those splashes made their way to the company's late Chairman, Gordon 'Butch' Stewart who then deployed Clarke to Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort to implement changes in the watersports division there. "Turks was my first overseas assignment and such a great opportunity to broaden my horizons. Back then, the resort team and I had six dive boats and were training and facilitating dive sessions with up to 150 guests per day. We worked to empower the team members and in turn, it made for the best experiences for the guests,” said Clarke who spent seven years there. He undertook additional assignments at resorts across the region to further enhance and promote their respective watersports divisions. He said, “Travelling to the various resorts opened my eyes to the possibilities of synchronizing the division as one regional operation in an effort to make watersports one of the main reasons our guests come to visit Sandals each year... With the support of the Sandals leadership team, I was determined to do all I could to promote watersports and make people fall in love with it, especially diving.” He returned to Jamaica in 2014 where he was appointed the Director of Watersports for the entire Sandals chain of resorts; a position he has used to foster the existing partnership between Sandals and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). But that was not to be the last directorship Clarke

earned in his professional pursuits. He aspired to achieve what could be described as the ultimate accreditation in his profession — becoming a PADI Course Director as this post would provide easier access to certifications in the Caribbean without trainees having to rely on the availability of instructors travelling from abroad to facilitate the exams. “The [PADI Director] exam period lasted for approximately two weeks and was absolutely nerveracking,” Clarke mused. “I, along with 29 other persons, some from as far away as Egypt, Thailand and Japan; along with their translators, all gathered in the Dominican Republic to sit the exams in 2017. I’m glad I was brave enough to pursue it to that level, with the full backing of Adam Stewart, now Executive Chairman of SRI. I have been all the better for it and I am now certified to ensure other persons within the Caribbean, who aspire to sit the dive instructor exam, have easier access and no longer have to face the challenges I did.” As Sandals facilitated his development, Clarke is focused on multiplying those efforts and get more team members and fellow Caribbean nationals trained and certified as dive instructors. “The Sandals brand offers so many possibilities from a watersports perspective and diving is just one of them. Sandals has over 25 of the best, stateof-the-art dive boats in operation across the region … and they are customized specifically for diving and making the entire process of moving equipment and accessibility easy for our guests. We also have 157 highly experienced diving instructors and, overall, almost 700 staff in watersports. Our guests keep coming back because of the service delivery backed by highly-trained staff, a high safety record, and toptier equipment that we service. We are amassing over 89,000 dives yearly with over 27,000 persons and it shows that people really enjoy this. It speaks to the fact that we’re doing many things right,” Clarke said proudly. “I’ve been fortunate and blessed to have so many opportunities presented to me over the years and I never take it for granted,” Clarke added. “I am grateful that I am a part of an organisation that has strong partnerships and that the world-class team members in my division have full access to these certifications. We make sure that our team is able to be trained and re-trained on a consistent basis to provide the most amazing experiences for our visitors while also achieving their own personal goals.”

Scientific study on root causes of crime in TCI underway – At least 1500 households to be targeted As the Turks and Caicos Islands grapples with an unprecedented level and severity of violent crimes, a scientific study to determine the root causes of crime and criminal behaviour is currently underway. Although an understanding of the root causes cannot absolve individuals from personal accountability, to prevent crime it is important to have an understanding of its roots. In order for the Government and the wider society to begin to address those conditions, which hinder healthy development and can become the breeding ground for crime, a four-month study that will target at least 1500 households throughout the territory is ongoing. Permanent Secretary of the National Security Secretariat, Tito Lightbourne recently told the media that the study which is being spearheaded by a consultant team from the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice in the United Kingdom will produce a final report at the end of January

2023. Speaking at a meeting with representatives from various media houses, held at the Office of the Governor on Tuesday, October 25, Lightbourne said: “If we were to ask each and every one of you what you think the root cause of crime is, I would get a different answer and all of you could be right, so we don’t know. “Understanding that we don’t know, we want to undertake this sort of a scientific data-driven study done by an esteemed institution that will help us say, if the government has one dollar to spend where we could spend that one dollar to have the most impact. We know that resources are not unlimited so where can we target? “Is it mental health? Is it drug addiction? Is it broken homes?... What are the root causes and the underline issues that we need to address in our society not just in schools but in our society?” He stressed that the contributing

He explained that the Government approved the study proposed by the National Security Secretariat and has provided funding for it to be conducted. “So we’ve got a consultant team out of the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice in the UK and it’s from Sheffield University. “They are a very well-renowned university in the UK and what they are doing for us over the course of the next four months is coming to the TCI and helping us identify what are our root causes of crimes and what are the underlying issues that are driving particularly young people, young men to a life of crime.” Lightbourne said to kick off the study a team from the consultancy met with critical stakeholders at a workshop recently held at Beaches

Resort in Providenciales. “We put everyone together from inside and outside of government, the Judiciary, DPP, AG Chambers, NGOs, private security, the pastors fraternal, people from various communities, social development, education and a wide range of persons. “From that session, they are going to review that information and see what the gaps are. “They will come back next week for the month of November and we’re going to follow up with those key agencies and persons and see what more information that we can provide,” he added. The study will be conducted in conjunction with enumerators from the census department in an interface, door-to-door fashion. “We’re going to do a survey with the persons who do our census, who are going to do a crime survey where they are going to go to at least a minimum of 1,500

households in the Turks and Caicos Islands to undertake a survey for us to get input nationally because even though persons may say crime is in Provo, there is also crime on every other island. “We can’t just say do Provo…it has to be done nationally because if we just do Provo it will be biased and prejudiced and the information wouldn’t have any integrity. “If we can find reports and conduct assessments and surveys to really build a database to make some informed inferences and provide some considerations to the government because ultimately the report will be forwarded to the National Security Council and then on to Cabinet for them to consider. “Ultimately they are the decision body and based on our reports they would have some considerations for what policy government would then want to develop or employ to build those intervening and those preventative measures,” he said.

Public Appeal The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is appealing to any member of public who may have any information on any crimes. They can contact Chalk Sound Police Station on 338-5901 or make use of the confidential reporting system through Crimestoppers on 1-800-8477.

Anti-gang legislation passed 10 years jail time for gang involvement; gang leaders to get 25 years

It is now a criminal offence for anyone living in the Turks and Caicos Islands to be in or become a member of a gang or to harbour, conceal or recruit gang members. This offence carries a penalty of 10 years imprisonment for a first conviction and a penalty of 20 years imprisonment for any subsequent convictions, while a gang leader would be liable to imprisonment for 25 years. As the territory faces a national crisis due to the proliferation of gang crime, the House of Assembly recently enacted the Anti-Gang Bill 2022, which also makes it an offence to be in possession of a bullet-proof vest, to participate in or contribute to activities of a gang, to support or invite support for a gang, or to harbour or conceal gang members or recruit persons to a gang. Attorney General, Hon Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles who had presented the bill to the House of Assembly for debate on Thursday, October 20, said the bill is intended to dismantle the growing gang culture fuelling increasingly violent and deadly crimes in the Turks and Caicos Islands. She explained that legislation is needed to provide the police and the courts with the necessary tools to “disrupt gang activity and discourage the growth of gangs in the islands”. “The bill would also make

Attorney General, Hon Rhondalee Braithwaite- Knowles it an offence to wound or shoot at persons involved in law enforcement or intelligence and would carry a penalty of 30 years imprisonment. “It would also be an offence for a person to coerce or encourage another person to be a gang member and would carry a penalty of 25 years imprisonment.” The Anti-gang bill also makes it an offence for a person to take retaliatory action against another person or any of that person's relatives, friends, associates or property where inter alia the other person refuses to comply with an order of a gang leader or gang members.

“It would be an offence to knowingly counsel in that regard, we're not talking about the type of counseling that our chaplain does for us. “It is counsel in terms of assisting them, a person to come to carry out a criminal offense, tell them how to do it more effectively, to instruct or to guide or to finance or to provide any type of support to a gang leader, gang member or gang. “It would be an offence for a person to harbour and in that regard, Mr Speaker, we're not talking about parents in respect of minors. “It would be an offence to

conceal a gang leader or gang member or to tip them off of an investigation or proposed investigation”, she added. The legislation also empowers the court to order that the property of a person convicted of certain offences under the ordinance may be forfeited in certain circumstances. In addition, any law enforcement officer, who is found to be involved in a gang will face no less than 20 years of imprisonment. The Attorney General further pointed out that persons who are arrested on reasonable suspicion of having committed certain offenses under the ordinance could be detained for up to 72 hours. However, safeguards will still remain in place to uphold their constitutional rights. The duration of the bill is three years, after which Cabinet will review the ordinance to determine whether it should continue or it should end. CONCERNS Meanwhile, Opposition-appointed Member, Hon Alvin Garland during his contribution to the debate raised a concern about the innuendos of the bill as it relates to unsuspecting law-abiding people that might be subject to the penalties. He said: “Mr Speaker to come back to the same issue with police powers of entry for an arrest…

police officer may arrest without warrant a person if he/she has reasonable cause to believe that a gang leader or gang member has committed an offence under this ordinance. “What we don’t want to find ourselves with is that we have a minor child that is living with his parents at home, and again, the parents have no knowledge that this child is involved in some gang-related offense and the police shows up with a search warrant to flush out the home which in essence has nothing to do with an offense that was committed by them. “This tool again gives reason for concern as to whether or not these parents' rights, fundamental rights to protection and privacy …are being violated. “I raise these issues in particular, as it would relate to the parents who are outstanding law-abiding citizens who find themselves in a situation where their fundamental rights are being infringed”, he added. The clauses of the Bill were drawn from the Trinidad and Tobago Anti-Gang Act 2021 and modified to meet the circumstances in the Islands. Jurisdictions with similar types of legislation are Jamaica Criminal Justice (Suppression of Criminal Organisations) Act) 2014; Australia - Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Act 2008; and Canada - Criminal Code 1985.

Police Force working “tirelessly” to bring criminals to justice – Premier – Aims to restore territory to its former peaceful normalcy Premier Hon Charles Washington Misick says criminals responsible for “despicable crimes” in the Turks and Caicos Islands will be brought to justice. “Your criminal behaviour betrays the TC Islands, its people and their livelihoods”, Misick said in a statement on Tuesday, November 1. His comments came after the bodies of three people, a man, a woman, and a male child aged three, who were presumably shot and killed on Monday evening (October 31), and a lone survivor, a girl aged seven, were found in Dock Yard, Providenciales. He said: “To those who are responsible for these despicable

crimes and to the individuals who aid and abet them, know that you will be brought to justice. What you think you stand to gain – from this criminal activity – pales in comparison to what you will lose once you are detained and prosecuted.” Misick said the tragic loss of life has devastated and shaken the country to its core. He said: “I share my deepest sympathies with the friends and loved ones of those who lost their lives, especially the child who must now navigate life without the love, guidance and protection of her sibling and parents. “The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is

working tirelessly to identify the perpetrators of this heinous crime and bring them to justice. “With the full support of my government, the Police Force is also investigating the root causes of this unprecedented uptick in violence on our Islands, and I thank them for their continued hard work and determination. “I also want to thank our law enforcement partners from The Bahamas, the UK and beyond”, he added.

GLOBAL VIOLENT CRIME HOTSPOT After more than two dozen murders so far for the year, police are still grappling with the crime situation in the territory, and with many boots on the ground, some calm has descended, even as the number of murders continues to rise. An analysis of the latest international crime statistics reveals that the TCI is set to become one of the global violent crime hotspots for 2022, and it may already be there. As of October 27, TCI's murder rate is recorded at 70.1 per 100,000 people. This figure is well above that of Jamaica which, as of August 2022, ranked as the second most dangerous country worldwide, with a homicide rate of 43.85 per 100,000 people living in the country. After a bloody September, the Turks and Caicos Islands for the first time ranked among some of the most violent countries, with a steeply rising number of murders per capita. What is your weeping response to this?

Shut down the TCI and snuff out criminality

It is clear that the TCI is on the verge of becoming a failed state and a killing field. Just like how the streets, government and society of Haiti are not safe, the killers of Five Cays and Dock Yard are ensuring that the TCI reaches that status. This is all with the weak hand and leadership of Nigel Dakin. He has cuddled and protected the Haitian gangs, kept real enforcement from Dock Yard until it was too late and the crime had already spilt onto the streets of Provo, killing innocent people like the NAACP official. Now innocent lives are being taken but direct gunfire are part of the routine. It was high time that the TCI Government invite a naval blockade of the TCI with vessels from The Bahamas Defence Force, UK’s Royal Navy and the US Coast Guard. Too many guns, weapons and contraband are getting in. Killers know for a fact that once they kill that they can just go to the airport, get on a US flight and just “go”. Where is the idea that police officers should be placed in the security section of the airport to look, check, profile and look for certain trends, tendencies and identifying marks on certain travellers? They are killing and are allowed to go. A serious Commissioner of Police would have requested that scanning stations and machines, in previous budgets, would have been provided in certain areas of Provo. Meaning vehicles between all sections of Blue Hills. Five Cays, Leeward Highway, the Bight would be so scrutinised that guns, weapons, metals would be caught.

It is time to shut the island down and suffocate the killers into the open. 24 Murders in one year in the TCI is too much. The travel advisories will bury the country. Surpassing Jamaica, and the rest of the Caribbean per capita is a statistic that really will inform travellers in deciding where to travel to. You mean under the watch of the Governor, Commissioner of Police, the TCI is now worse than Haiti, Ukraine and Afghanistan? This cannot be countenanced, and something must be done otherwise this country will be lost forever.

Negative rebranding

Now that the TCI is under siege the trends of a “point of no return”, when it comes to a broken system, have set in. Women and innocent children are being slaughtered in the TCI. Crime seems like a way of life. It is tragic in so many ways as the Office of the Governor and the Police Commissioner played politics with the killings. The alarm bells have been sent off. Being tarnished as the second most dangerous country in the world is a dangerous appellation for the TCI. It is not a safe place to be as a tourist whose lifeblood is based on safety in the numbers.

National summit needed

It is time TCI people take this issue out of the hands of the Government and the Governor. The TCI now needs to convene to develop a much-needed strategy on the crime wave which has gotten out of hand. The public is well aware of information well

beyond the scope and abilities of the Police Commissioner. It was only when the Bahamian Police came over that a serious force was sent into Dock Yard to get after the real culprits, the “homegrown in the TCI Haitian Gangs”. A well-informed summit of local leaders, the Community and the Leader of the Opposition would inform the Commissioner of what really must be done. There is really little and no confidence in the police force or its ability to fight crime right now. Where are the back benchers and their voices? It is time they speak as the Leader of the Opposition has and join the debate. Hold the Government accountable. It is time the pressure come from within and they question the Premier’s unqualified support of the Commissioner. They must realise that they are elected representatives and not blind cheerleaders of the government and its “go nowhere policies. “

Country over party

The Leader of the Opposition said the budget allocations for law enforcement, defence and border protection are woefully inadequate. He made a stunning policy contribution to the crime debate, "We had the national emergency of Covid-19, and the Government directed the majority of its funds and resources to deal with it. Money was cut from other areas in the budgets in order to prepare for the battle with Covid. Now we have a crime and immigration crisis, why aren’t we seeing the same type of urgent, precise, and focused response being given by the Premier and his cabinet in dealing with crime and immigration? We can do without a few million-dollar plots at the moment while we are addressing this illegal immigration and border situation. Send those millions to border patrol, send those millions to the police, send those millions to fisheries.” It is time that the Government liaise

with the official opposition and develop a policy pivot of this nature so that serious money could be reallocated to serious crime fighting. With the Government projecting U$400m in revenues, something they didn’t budget for, there is more than enough money available to pay for more equipment, training, scanners at the airports and on each street corner. Hon Ministers do not be tone deaf. This is not a political issue. You are able to speak, work and liaise with the Opposition to develop solutions.

More police needed

Either triple the number of law enforcement officers - or go on your knees and appeal to a higher power if all else does not work.

Sweeping under the carpet

Current and previous TCI governments have displayed an amazing tendency to ignore developing problems, and just hope they will go away – but guess what, not only don’t they go away, but they get even worse! Major examples are the continuing degradation of the public school system, the failure to control the presence of illegal immigrants, especially those who may once have been here legally but have overstayed their legitimacy, and the lack of appropriate

‘Current PNP administration – Opposition leader says he’s is the worst ever’ disgusted at their incompetence BY DELANA ISLES The PDM opposition is accusing the current administration of running the country into the ground, citing out-of-control crime, being internationally blacklisted and disregarding the livelihood of Islanders as just a few of their epic failures. On Thursday, November 3, Leader of the Opposition, Hon Edwin Astwood in a stinging denunciation of the PNP government said that under their leadership, or lack thereof, the Turks and Caicos Islands has become a ‘failed state’. He said there is no mystery as to why it is happening, “this PNP Administration failed conclusively. No group in Turks and Caicos history has done a worse job of

running this country than the PNP Class currently in charge.” Astwood continued: “They are vindictive, they are intolerant, they lack compassion, but above all they are incompetent.” He stated that in less than two years they have run this country into the ground. “This PNP government has destroyed the Turks and Caicos image: criminal gangs running amuck; the country has been blacklisted; illegal immigration is out of control; school systems are out of control; no new projects happening, locally-owned businesses going under; locals are being passed over for job after job; illegal development at an all-time high; unemployment at its alltime high; cost of living at its alltime high; inflation at its all-time

Continued response to the ever-growing illegal housing situation, much of which is concentrated in the various “yards”. We cannot now be surprised that these “yard” communities appear to be the focal points of the violent crime explosion that has recently taken over the country. Anytime a country has such a large share of its population living in horribly sub-standard housing, something has gone terribly wrong, and it is well past time that these “yard” settlements be bulldozed – give the residents 30 days notice, and provide armed police protection if necessary for the crews operating the equipment. Yes, it will be upsetting to people currently living in these “yards”, but we are well past the time when the well-being of the country as a whole should be subrogated to the concerns of a relative few. If the elimination of these “yards” turns up a number of residents who are here illegally, their immediate deportation is called for. All that’s required is the political will to take the necessary action – let’s hope the current violent crime spree has the side effect of convincing the government that it can no longer bury its head in the sand on this issue. Do we dare hope?

We made this happen

We are seeing the effects of years of shoddy and incompetent immigration and national security policy combined with corruption. The London Met were successful in crushing gang warfare. We can learn and succeed.

Drastic measures needed

With the additional murders, it is clear that the violence is not going to stop. If the UK can change so many Prime Ministers, we should also be able to change the decision-makers here. Bring new blood to the fore, let’s change the system. It’s obvious that the current one is not working. It’s only the future of the TCI at stake.

high; mortgage rates at its all-time high; house prices at an all-time high; and now we have an internal supply chain nightmare at the South Dock port in Providenciales where much-needed goods and supplies are being gridlocked on the compound.” He questioned how the current administration could, in a country with democratic elections, stay in power given the current state of affairs. “The entire country on November 1, 2022, woke up to the news of the horrific incident that had taken place. I believe that the entire population of the TCI was negatively affected by this, and deeply sympathise with the bereaved family. “I had to question, am I in the Turks and Caicos Islands? We have never seen this before. The criminals have evolved into an extremely dangerous and merciless species. Therefore, law enforcement operations, methods, and personnel must evolve along it.” Astwood said this is another example of the complete breakdown in law and order and public safety, not to mention the erosion of quality of life in communities. The opposition leader stated that the government has its focus on the wrong things, pointing to the press releases issued this week condemning residents who shared images of the devastatingly tragic murder of an entire family and unborn child. “Why is the government now heavily condemning those who share images? Yes, we all agree that certain images must be censored. However, if it were not for those images, though lacking sensitivity, the general public may not have been informed in a timely and complete manner. A picture says a thousand words,” Astwood opined. However, he is calling on persons who share images of crime scenes to sensor them, while maintaining that the public is the watchdog of the police force. “I would impress those individuals who are compelled to share images of a crime scene to censor them before sending them out and consider the sensitivity of the situation. “Without timely and complete reporting, officials should not condemn people for thinking that something not right may be going on, in particular when residents can prove that calls for help were made. Cases like these will always attract heavy public scrutiny and can result in the impact of our

On Thursday, November 3, Leader of the Opposition, Hon Edwin Astwood in a stinging denunciation of the PNP government said that under their leadership, or lack thereof, the Turks and Caicos Islands has become a ‘failed state’ fragile tourism industry.” He stated that transparency restores public faith in the system, as it is the antidote to misinformation. Adding: “On the other hand, if you want people to draw their own conclusions or come up with their own conspiracies, then you keep hiding things and giving incomplete information. The Opposition leader further stated that nothing appears to have changed in the islands, as the criminals appear to have adapted to the increased presence of law

enforcement officers and are now working around them. “It appears that nothing has really changed in the past few weeks, the criminals just adapted, and now our law enforcement leaders must do the same. “How this elected government has managed the crisis has been a mistake, as they are very ‘handsoff”, proud to let others do the work for them, and suggestions had been put to them months ago, when we were first talking about the unprecedented rise in crime, and they haven’t acted,” he said.

Passenger injured after car stopped and shot at An escalation of gun crimes in the territory over the past week, after a brief period of calm, has left one woman nursing a gunshot wound to the shoulder. Reports are that at about 7:13pm on Sunday, October 30, shots rang out in Blue Hills, prompting residents in the surrounding area to call in with reports to the police. In a statement on the incident, Police said a female driver and her friend were travelling along Millennium Highway in the Phase two

community when she was stopped by another vehicle. Upon stopping, the woman told police that the occupant in the other vehicle opened fire on her and her passenger. While she escaped injury, her female passenger was shot, sustaining a gunshot wound to her left shoulder. Police are now appealing to the public to notify the closest police station or to contact Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-8477 if they have any information on this shooting or any other illegal activity anonymously.

Police officers at the scene of the gruesome murders in Dock Yard

Dock Yard’s triple massacre shocks TCI BY OLIVIA ROSE The gruesome slaying of a family in the Dock Yard community has sent shockwaves throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands, as residents continue to reel from weeks of incessant bloodshed. On Tuesday, November 1st, residents of Dock Yard, a predominantly Haitian settlement aback Kew Town Providenciales awoke to the sight of a grisly triple homicide. The lifeless bodies of two adults (a male and a pregnant female) along with a male child aged three were discovered in a vehicle, parked among several abandoned vehicles. Another female child, age seven who witnessed the slaughter of her family sustained serious injuries during the shooting and was taken for medical attention hours after the tragic ordeal. Residents in the area attempting to piece together the heinous crime, recalled hearing gunshots the night before the bodies were found, some even said they called the police to report that gunshots were fired in the vicinity of Timber Crest, Kew Town. As images and videos of the brutal murders widely circulated on social media, many residents have slammed the police force for not responding to the reports promptly, which could have led to lives being saved. According to an initial police report, around 6:57 am on November 1st, officers of the Royal Turks and Caicos Police Force received information from

its Police Control Room that two adults – male and female, along with two children were bleeding heavily from gunshot wounds in a parked vehicle in Dock Yard. “Upon arrival, officers found the lifeless bodies of the two adults (male and female), a male child aged three. “Another female child aged seven, who was also in the vehicle, was alive and taken for medical attention for injuries received,” the Police said. Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased and condemned the callous murders, he said: “The murder of the two adults and the child is shocking and the circumstances of what happened are now part of an active investigation. “This incident also left a sevenyear-old girl seriously injured and traumatised.” He stressed that such a vicious, barbaric act has no place in TCI communities. “I condemn those involved, the criminals involved are in the minority and we need to all work together to bring them to justice; these criminals are heartless; they do not care about life. “It’s hard to comprehend the depravity and callousness of the individuals who carried out this attack, no matter the motivation or target behind these murders, innocent lives were ruthlessly taken.” Botting who delivered a Facebook live-streamed statement on Wednesday, November 2nd said investigators have an open mind as to why the family was targeted.

“It may be that this attack is not linked to the gang-related violence which the Force is currently fighting against, but was driven by other motivation.” The Police Commissioner also rubbished claims that officers did not respond to the area following reports. He said: “It is widely reported that a number of calls were made to the Force Control Room during the evening of Monday 31st October, reporting the sound of gunshots in the Timber Crest area of Kew Town. “There is a strong possibility that these gunshots were related to the attack that led to the deaths of the three people discovered in Dockyard during the early morning of the 1st November. “Comment has also been made that police officers did not respond to these reports. “This is not true, police patrols did attend the area of Timber Crest and searched the immediate area. “The vehicle was found outside of this immediate search area by members of the public the following morning.” However, he assured residents that in the interests of transparency, the Police response to the calls regarding gunshots being heard during the evening of the 31st of October is under review. He said: “So we can establish how we dealt with that call and identify where we could have enhanced our initial response. NO ASSISTANCE RENDERED The Police Commissioner decried

the insensitive behaviour of residents who failed to render any assistance to the injured child. He said: “A seriously injured seven-year-old girl was alone in a car for a long period of time knowing that her mother and brother, along with a male involved were dead. “Given that fact, and given the obvious trauma and distress of that seven-year-old child, you will be aware that a number of persons who were on the scene, when the vehicle was found chose to take photographs and videos of the dead and the seriously injured child inside the vehicle and circulate them widely, rather than provide immediate assistance and support to the child at the time when she was at her most vulnerable. “At a time when she needed a human touch, a show of humanity and reassurance. Such photos and videos were further recirculated through social media and chat groups. Some are justifying their actions by saying it is in the public interest, however, any public interest must be balanced against the interests of those involved. “It is certainly the view of myself and my Force executive colleagues that the taking and circulating of those photographs served no purpose and it was certainly not in the public interest. “It was definitely not in the interests of a seriously injured and traumatised child. He stressed that: “It is often quoted that ‘the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable

members, if this is true, and I think it is, members of this society failed at that moment; a moment when a seven-year-old girl was at her most vulnerable. “I applaud you if you did not pass on the photos and videos and I salute you if you challenged the persons who sent them to you as to how inappropriate the images were. “To those who did take, circulate and recirculate those photographs I would ask that you imagine how you would feel if this was a member of your family, a loved one that was either killed or was in need and others did not help but took photos for circulation. “I sincerely hope that such behaviour towards a child in need, or any persons who require help or human kindness is never repeated. I hope that the people involved reflect on what they did and the potentially emotional harm that their actions may have caused”, he added. Botting stressed that the RTCIPF remains ‘focused and determined' to bring the perpetrators to justice. “We are being supported by colleagues from the UK, Bahamas, and the United States as we conduct robust and thorough investigations into recent violence on the Islands. “Operations will continue to track down those criminals causing most harm to our communities and they should be prepared to spend most of their life in prison when they are caught”. The public is being advised to notify the closest police station or 911 and give any information about illegal activity anonymously.

Law enforcement can legally intercept communications in the TCI Law enforcement and intelligence agencies of investigatory powers in the TCI are now equipped with the legal framework to obtain communications data, as a means of disrupting the activities of criminal enterprises. For years, law enforcement has been confronted with an unremitting challenge as they endeavour to intercept, monitor and analyse communications to help dismantle criminal activities. To assist in this regard, the House of Assembly recently passed the “Interception of Communications Bill as part of the Government's stringent crime-fighting measures. Attorney General, Hon Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles who presented the Bill to the House of Assembly for debate on Thursday, October 20, said the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force has identified that the territory’s telecommunication system is being misused. She said: “Criminals are using the telecommunications infrastructure in the Turks and Caicos Islands to plan and carry out their crime. “Presently, the law only allows a court to authorise telecommunications providers with records of phone calls that took place to provide that information to police to authorise the provision of that information to the police.

“The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force recommend that a more comprehensive, transparent and modern legal interception of communications process be established, that allows for the gathering of intelligence and evidence through the telecommunications network. “The use of such interception would be supervised, transparent and accountable.” She explained that the Bill would provide a single legal framework for the use by law enforcement and intelligence agencies of Investigatory Powers to obtain communications and communications data. “These powers would cover the interception of communication, the retention and acquisition of communications data and equipment interference for obtaining communication and other data. It would not be lawful… to exercise these powers other than as provided for by ordinance. Once enacted, the bill provides for lawful interception of communications within certain narrow exceptions. “The bill would apply to communications in the course of transmission via a public telecommunication system, a private telecommunication system or a public postal service.” To prevent abuse of the powers conferred to law enforcement authorities, the bill is replete with

peace and tranquillity. “We have a strong, capable team that is making great strides to end this dark chapter. I thank our Parliament for recently passing legislation that will further empower this team to identify and bring justice to criminals on our Islands. “During this challenging time, I urge my fellow countrymen and women to stand tall and face the future with bravery and pride. We all can play a role in ending this violence, especially if we communicate and collaborate with each other as much as possible. To that end, I strongly urge anyone with direct knowledge of suspicious or

illegal activity to contact 911 immediately or call Crime Stoppers – which accepts information anonymously – at 1-800-346-8477.” Persons with any knowledge of illegal immigration activity are being urged to directly contact the Immigration Intelligence Unit at 649-3384415 or tciintel@gov.tc. “As we continue this fight, I want to express my gratitude for the assistance and resilience of those who are supporting the country in these ongoing efforts. “I have no doubt that we will return to the peaceful normalcy to which we are all accustomed”, Misick added.

The use of the interception would be supervised, transparent and those in power will be held accountable several safeguard clauses. The Attorney General said: “The bill makes it an offense to intentionally interfere intersect in the Turks and Caicos Islands, communication and the course of its transmission without lawful authority. Further, the bill sets out the circumstances in which a person has lawful authority to carry out an interception. “The bill provides for targeted interception warrants, mutual assistance, warrants and targeted interception—so targeted equipment, interference warrants. “Those are four in total types of warrants that the court can grant and a police officer can apply for. Mr Speaker, under the ordinance targeted interception warrants would authorise any activity for the interception. In the course of the trend, there was transmission by means of a postal service or telecommunication system or communications or type of communication that is described in the warrant. “The bill sets out conduct that does not constitute interception and make clear that interception of the communication broadcast for general reception is not interception for the purposes of the ordinance. “So watching television is not interception as an example, but Mr Speaker, the bill would exclude certain conduct in relation to postal data attached to communication such as reading the address on the outside of a letter in order to ensure it is delivered to the appropriate location, that is not an interception”, she added. The bill also establishes a framework for international

assistance, this means that a mutual assistance warrant, issued by a court can give effect to an incoming request or authorises an outgoing request for assistance in relation to the interception of communication. In these instances, such a request will be made in accordance with an international mutual legal assistance agreement. “An application for targeted interception. warrants or mutual assistance warrant is made by the Director of Public Prosecution… on behalf of an authorised officer who is defined as the Commissioner of Police or the Deputy Commissioner of Police or a person who is acting in one of those two posts. “The bill sets out the grounds on which warrants may be issued by a judge. “The grounds are in the interest of internal security for the purpose of preventing or detecting serious

crime in the interests of the economic well-being of the island or for giving effect to the provision of a mutual assistance agreement.” “A warrant may only be considered necessary in the interest of the economic well-being of the island when it relates to the acts or intentions of persons outside the island. “So that is not in respect to persons who are here, it relates to access from outside.” Likewise, the bill also specifies the circumstances in which a warrant may not be considered necessary. She continued: “Such as if it's only purpose is for gathering evidence to use in a legal proceeding. “The bill further sets out the safeguards which apply to the interception of items subject to legal privilege”, she added. A GOOD START Deputy Premier, and Minister of Finance Hon Erwin ‘Jay’ Saunders during his contribution to the debate, described the bill as a “good start” for the Turks and Caicos Islands, as many other countries have already enacted similar legislation to tamp down on criminal activities. He said: “A very quick search and you'll see that a lot of countries have implemented something similar so we were late to the party, in terms of rolling out this type of support for the police.” He said that the bill gives the police a “fighting chance of being able to investigate these crimes”. “I mean, one of the things that we have been doing badly over the last couple of years is being able to solve a lot of crimes, typically very serious crimes, and this will give the police a new tool to be able to solve crime.”

Man survives Dock Yard weekend shooting Officers of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding a shooting incident in Dock Yard, which resulted in a man being seriously injured. Police said that a call was placed to the Police Control Room during the early morning hours of Saturday, October 29,

indicating that a male victim with a gunshot wound was seeking medical attention. No other information has been shared about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Anyone who may have information about this shooting is being urged by police to contact them.

We are never prepared for the death of a loved one Let’s help others through this heartache

Everybody will die one day but many of us live our lives each day to the contrary. Death will hit our doors in one way or another, but we are never prepared for the impact of the death of someone, especially if the person dies suddenly. The death of Holly Bassett brought so much pain, grief, and suffering. It is not a good feeling; it is a feeling that is indescribable. In fact, I believe you must experience the pain to understand it. It is okay to feel the way you feel when a loved one dies. Sometimes that feeling does not go away and that is okay too. However, others can help ease that pain by reaching out and doing something for that grieving

family. I know when someone dies, many of us sent sympathies and greetings to the family but we cannot stop there. We must always remember that family and encourage them through a phone call or text as often as possible. Of course, we will

have to be very sensitive about the feelings of people and so we must be very careful what we say to them and what we say to others about them. One thing we should not say is that it is time for people to move on after the death of a loved one. This is an

inappropriate thing to say. Let people grieve if they want to and try to put yourself in their position. Sometimes you can help someone by just being there in their presence and don’t say anything at all. Do you know what else you can do to help that family? Surprise them with lunch or dinner so that they do not have to prepare the meals themselves. Take them out for a drive and ask them more about the person they lost so that they can talk about that person. You see one of the remedies for easing the pain is to cherish the memories of loved ones. Likewise, I encourage those persons who are in pain, to talk to someone about their feelings. You do

not have to be alone on this journey. Also remember if your loved one was saved, you can be encouraged, knowing that you will see them again when God returns. I don’t know what to say to people whose loved ones were not saved. However, for those unsaved persons who are still alive, you have an opportunity to become saved. The thing is, we do not know when death will hit our doors, but we know it will happen sooner or later. I know most of us perhaps do not think about dying but what we should do is be conscious of the fact that one day we will die. Therefore, we must commit to the Lord so whenever that day comes, our grieving families will have hope that they will see us again.

BRITAIN AFTER BREXIT:

How the UK political crisis affects the social and eco-political stability in the TCI? Once, the UK political arena was synonymous with stability; however, lately a barrage of selfinflicted trauma – matured into a political death spiral – emerges from a mismanaged bid of the Conservative Party’s leader to wholly remodel UK’s economic agenda. In the last six years, four British prime ministers have resigned. So, what is the problem at Downing Street? British analysts conclude that these political miscarriages are consequent to narratives of

Cameron submitted a referendum to exit the EU. He had hoped, this initiative will end contentions among Conservative Party members concerning Britain’s relations with Europe and kept his party in power. However, this spawned a miscalculation of epic proportions and the people voted to leave the EU with a small, but conclusive margin, underscoring sharp disunity among voters and since then, UK’s foreign, economic and trade policies have eroded. Then came former PM Theresa May. She called snap elections in 2017, which produced another huge blow and, in the interim, lost the Conservative Party’s control of the House of Commons. May persistently campaigned for a Brexit deal through Parliament and was wholly thwarted by the anti-

European wing of her own party that led to her resignation. Contributing to this ordeal was former PM, Boris Johnson an architect of the Brexit vote, who had no real plan to extricate decades of Britain’s economic and legal commitment to the EU. The next occupant at Downing Street – Liz Truss – who stepped down after serving the nation for a mere 44 days, making her the shortest-serving PM in 300 years of British political history. Just last week, Rishi Sunak was sworn in as the new PM and the third in under two months. Like former US President Barack Obama, already, English citizens are disqualifying Sunak, who is of East Indian descent, because of his race; rather than, weighing his qualifications and the policies he brings to the job. A caller on a popular London radio talk show adduced that Sunak, who was born in Southampton is not British and cannot be PM. The radio host eviscerated the caller, as he asserts, the people of “Saudi Arabia” or “Pakistan” wouldn’t accept a ‘white English man’ as their PM.

Certainly, the caller is uninformed and numb to British colonial history. Little did he know, King Charles III is king of the TCI and a host of other British Overseas Territories (BOTs) whose populace are predominantly people of colour. So, what does this mean for the TCI and – by extension – the BOTs? If the UK cannot procure stability at home, how can they oversee governance in faraway countries? Considering its contracting economy and the fall of the Sterling, there are limits to the UK’s Governments' ability to respond to crises. The costs of the BOTs of managing conflict and other crises and the effects are high and could be crippling in a time when resources are being squeezed. Although the UK are obligated to the people and are hugely answerable for the foreign relations, defence, security, and good governance of the OTs, if its political system continues to dissolve, these commitments could rupture. My guess is until the UK puts its house in order, the BOTs would be mostly left abandoned, so brace yourselves!

Leadership for change in the Caribbean No, this is not about having a change of leaders in governments or organisations. ‘Change Leadership’ is the skill to bring about needed change and about making that process go faster, smarter, and more efficiently. Leadership is about doing the right things in times of change. Change is happening faster and more often than at any time before. Leadership needs to be prepared for it. Training comes to mind. Ask any Minister of Education whether education is important, and they will go to the end of the world explaining how essential it is when looking at the future. How about continuing education?

Looking for your soulmate? Here's how you know!

I’ve been tossing and turning lately over a few worries. My close proximity to age 30, career path, work-life balance, and recently over my romantic relationship. The idea of not finding a soulmate troubles me day and night and frankly, more now than ever before. Will I ever find my soulmate? It must be an amazing feeling to be the inseparable couple that finish each other’s sentences, the Bonnie and Clyde types who are never apart and the lovebirds who always find something exciting to laugh about. But beyond the usual butterflies and the heartpounding when touched, how do you know if your significant other is the one? Many people do believe in “soulmates”. The idea is that each one of us has our other half out there. I, on the other hand, am in total disagreement. Soulmates, perhaps, aren't born, they are created. It means that you can spend the rest of your life with one person and have a deep and beautiful love story, but that process is co-created. You will not find a Prince Charming who arrives perfectly ready to sweep you off your feet. That soulmate will not fall on your lap from above_ you both will have to put in the work!

How do you know if the person you’ve been messing around with is your soulmate? Worry not! Here are eight signs that will help you know if you’ve found a true connection:

YOU JUST KNOW IT

There is no test that will help you determine if you've found your soulmate or not. You have to feel in your gut that this person is the right one for you. I know it sounds trite, but when you get that feeling, you’ll know what it means. You should feel energised by their presence, comfortable enough to completely open up, and just giddy with love. Of course, connections manifest themselves in different ways for everyone but you know when you know.

THEY’RE YOUR BEST FRIEND

A friendship is the best foundation for any relationship —

why do you think so many romcoms are about two BFFs who get together? If you are in a trusting, positive friendship with your boothang, that's already a sign.

YOU HAVE LOTS OF EMPATHY FOR THEM

When they fail a test, you might as well have failed it, because, in a sense, you feel each other's feelings. Seeing them upset upsets you, but conversely, you share in each other's happiness. No one is more proud of their bae than you and when they succeed, nothing makes you happier.

YOU RESPECT EACH OTHER

A relationship is nothing without respect so if your honey-bunny doesn't admire you for who you are, they're probably not your soulmate. Your soulmate should care about your feelings and ideas, not write them off.

They should appreciate and love you and always treat you well. If they do not put you first, you might need to start packing your things.

YOU BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT

You don't have to be a replica of your partner to be soulmates. You two can have different temperaments, upbringings, and backgrounds and still be meant for each other. The key is how you two, as very different people, come together. Does your chill nature compliment their anxious demeanour? Does your love for environmentalism match well with their interests in engineering? Basically, are they the yin to your yang?

YOU SHARE THE SAME LIFE GOALS

Speaking of the important things... when it comes to life goals, you two have similar plans. I am not saying you both want the same career, but you both agree on whether or not you want to start a family or the values you want to live by. Keep in mind that, if you have slightly different views for the future, it doesn’t mean the end. You will realise soon that your viewpoint changes over time.

YOU CHALLENGE EACH OTHER

Your soulmate should bring out the best in you, and that means pushing you a little to become the best you can be. Yes, you should admire and respect your bae and who they are, but you should also motivate them to reach their goals, to try a little harder when they need a nudge, and aid with their personal development. Relationships are all about growth and soulmates help each other grow together.

YOU CAN YOURSELF

TOTALLY

There's no faking it when it comes to your soulmate. You can be totally yourself around them and you know they'll love you for you. You share your guilty pleasures, your weird quirks, your deepest secrets, and you know it will just make them love you more. You two are showing that you're willing to take these steps to work together and fight for each other is a sign you're soulmates. Have you found your soulmate? Could your current relationship, fling, sidepiece or that sneaky link you see every Tuesday night, be your soulmate? Share your stories here at louisedens@gmail.com.

The US-Saudi Alliance will stand the test of time

Regardless of the intensity of the current conflict between the Biden administration and Saudi Arabia, their long history of military alliance and shared concerns over regional stability will certainly override their conflicting interests, especially at this juncture of international tension in the wake of the war in Ukraine.

RIGHTING THE WRONG The recent conflict between the United States and Saudi Arabia over Riyadh’s decision to cut its oil production by two million barrels a day should be addressed in the context of their long and extensive relationship. For more than 70 years, the two countries have cooperated and collaborated on many levels, including the massive sale of US military hardware, collaboration on national security, joint economic development, and transfer of sensitive US technology, along with intelligence sharing. The current conflict is not the first that has occurred between the two countries; in fact, in 1973 the Saudis imposed an oil boycott on the US as retribution for its aid to Israel during the Yom Kippur War, and in 2001 after the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, relations became strained again due to (still unproven) allegations

about the possible involvement of Saudi Arabia in the attack, as 15 of the 19 terrorists were Saudi citizens. These two major incidents certainly disrupted the relationship to a great extent; nevertheless, each time they restored the spirit and the practical dimension of their relationship because their shared interests on so many levels overrode their conflicting positions. I believe that this recent conflict will not change, as with previous conflicts, their bilateral relationship in any fundamental way. President Biden stated that “… when the House and the Senate comes back, there’s going to be some consequences for what [Saudi Arabia has] done with Russia.” Congressional Democrats went as far as demanding taking unprecedented countermeasures against Saudi Arabia, including the cessation of all aspects of cooperation with Riyadh. What precipitated this stern

Send letters to tcweeklynews@gmail.com

reaction by Biden and leading Democrats is attributed to several factors. The Saudi action was seen as an affront to Biden personally, especially given his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, with the purpose of reducing the tension between the two countries and persuading the Saudis to increase oil production. Riyadh’s action is further seen as a barefaced anti-American move and as collusion with Russia against the US. Moreover, Biden and many Democrats view the Saudis’ decision as one that would worsen global inflation and undermine US efforts to bring down the price of gas, especially now just before the mid-term elections, while helping Putin in his war against Ukraine. To be sure, they feel that the Saudis are ungrateful and unworthy of the US’ consistent defence assistance, which leads them to conclude that the Saudis are no longer a reliable ally. The Saudi action appears to be as if they are taking revenge against the US, specifically because Biden, from the time he was running for president, called Saudi Arabia a “pariah,” whose leadership had “very little redeeming value.” He accused Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) of orchestrating the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and swore to never speak with him, and criticised the kingdom for its indiscriminate bombing in Yemen and its human rights violations. Finally, Saudi has been public in its opposition to Biden’s efforts to renew the Iran deal. In a conversation I had recently with David Rundell, former Chief of Mission in the American embassy in Riyadh, author of “Vision or Mirage,” and one of America’s foremost experts on Saudi Arabia, he emphasised that the conflict has a significant emotional component for the Saudis which the Biden administration failed to appreciate. As Rundell stated, “The president did, I think that the only term you can use is insult, Mohammed bin Salman several times. He made it very clear that he did not like Mohammed bin Salman… The White House made it very clear that they were not going to see Mohammed bin Salman…

Then the president refuses to shake his hand.” Rundell further commented on the Saudis’ pride and independence which they hold high, and cautioned that “the Saudis acted in what they thought was their own self-interest. They will do so again. If the United States wants to try to isolate them or punish them, it will simply drive them closer to China and Russia, which is already happening.” Although it is necessary to re-evaluate the US-Saudi relationship in the wake of what happened, I concur with Rundell that it will be a mistake for the Biden administration to take any significant punitive measures against the Saudis which will only worsen their bilateral relationship at an extremely sensitive time. As Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated last year, the idea is “not to rupture the [US-Saudi] relationship, but to recalibrate [it].” I believe that some Democratic senators, like Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, who said that he will propose a halt to “any cooperation with Riyadh until the Kingdom reassess its position with respect to the war in the Ukraine,” adding, “enough is enough,” and others, including Senator Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Ro Khanna who introduced a bill to “immediately pause all US arms sale to Saudi Arabia,” are going far beyond the pale of what needs to be done. Other Democrats are calling for milder measures, including withholding intelligence, refusing the sale of certain weapons, restricting access to financial markets, and curtailing some elements of military training, along with slowing down major development projects. This may seem necessary to send Saudi Arabia a message about the US’ displeasure, but it will be still the wrong message. Indeed, given that both countries must take into full consideration the importance of their bilateral relationship and its overall regional security implications, they should not engage in a tit for tat which can only benefit Russia and China. It should be noted that although Saudi Arabia depends on the US for much of its military hardware and national security guarantees, the Saudis feel that they have been all along reciprocating by helping to maintain regional stability, making considerable efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, joining hands with the

US in fighting terrorism, and allowing the US to continue to have a military presence on their soil. Furthermore, the Saudis have promoted a more tolerant version of Islam, and continue to trade oil with dollar, which strengthens the American currency. The Saudis also fundamentally disagree with the US about their motivation to cut down their oil production. As they see it, their action was strictly motivated by business considerations. They wanted to reduce oil production in order to increase prices, and insist that even with the cut of two million barrels a day, the price will remain in the vicinity of $80-90 per barrel of oil which is still far less than $130 per barrel, the high of the past few years. The Saudis see it as a business decision, nothing to do with politics. Regardless of how disingenuous this may sound, there is a financial benefit which they can reap; it is the timing of the cut that troubled many American officials. My position is that the Biden administration should not take any punitive counter-action against Saudi Arabia, certainly not before the midterm election, which allows for a cooling off period. Following that, the Biden administration should establish contact behindthe-scenes in an effort to mitigate their differences. Given the critical importance of their bilateral relationship especially at this juncture, both sides must avoid any public recrimination which can only aggravate the relationship. Indeed, the continuing discord between the US and Saudi Arabia will further encourage Russia and China to do everything they can to create a schism between the two allies, especially now when Biden has just declared that China and Russia are adversaries of the US. This may sound like an appeasement of the Saudis, but it is not. Indeed, regardless of who is right and who is wrong—and in this case, both have their share of blame—any dispute between allies must be resolved through dialogue and honest discussion. This is the time when Saudi Arabia and the US must demonstrate that given their long friendship and constructive relationship for more than seven decades, their alliance can and will stand the test of time.

When is leadership good or bad? A while back I quoted a leadership writer who made the point that everything rises and falls on leadership. In the leadership landscape, another phenomenon has arisen, it is becoming increasingly harder to determine if someone is a good or bad leader. We know leadership is becoming harder. Globalisation (yes, it is still around) and emerging technologies have contributed to the increased expectations that people have of their leaders. Good leaders are expected to be persons of integrity and drive innovation at the same time. They are expected to increase both revenue for stakeholders and a sense of meaning and fulfilment for those who follow them. With that said, the question still remains, how do we know when a leader is good or bad? There are two biblical leaders, Amaziah and Jeroboam, who can help us answer, or rather, get closer to a workable answer. Their story is told in 2 Kings 14. At the beginning of his reign it was said of Amaziah that he “did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight” (2Kings 14:3). In other

KENYATTA E. LEWIS Kenyatta Lewis is the pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, a growing church committed to taking followers of Jesus deeper and going further in their faith. Besides loving, serving, and helping people he has watched the extended Director’s cut of the Lord of the Rings trilogy multiple times. words, from God’s point of view, he was a good leader. He had integrity of heart, compassion, followed God’s laws, and was successful on the battlefield. All the things that made for the type of person who was needed to lead God’s people toward God’s plans. However, after enjoying great success and blessings, pride filled his heart and he suffered great personal losses that so affected the nation that he was assassinated by his officials. On the other hand, there was another leader called Jeroboam the Second. And in God’s sight he “did what was evil” (2 Kings 14: 24). He was spiritually and morally deficient and led the people who followed him to be the same. However, he “recovered

the territories of Israel between Lebo-hamath and the Dead Sea, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised through Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.” (2 Kings 14: 25). Jeroboam brought about economic prosperity for his people and ensured the safety of the nation. After a long and prosperous reign, he died a peaceful death. These two accounts seem to muddy the waters as it concerns how we decipher who is a good leader and who is not. The one declared righteous by God became proud as a result of the many blessings he received and was killed, the one deemed by God to be unrighteous was similarly blessed but seemed to avoid the pitfall of arrogance.

Leadership for change ... CONTINUED FROM 

of what is required to deliver the benefits of the proposed transformation. The resistance to change for a whole variety of sociological and political reasons is stronger on these small islands than it is almost anywhere else. Figuring out a way to lead and manage change is the real task.” Some of the biggest frustrations and challenges often faced when implementing new ideas or necessary changes are indeed a lack of leadership for change. Poor change leadership is the second biggest cause of organisational change failure around the world, according to research by the renowned global management consulting firm McKinsey. For any initiative to be successful, one factor is always paramount: ‘Change Leadership’. Positive growth and progress require change leadership to make good things even better and secure sustainability. Leaders who embrace change can turn their organisations or departments into engines of growth and transformation. It all requires visionary and forward thinking. Major multinational companies have transformed

society and user experience through innovative changes. They were all developed by transformational change leaders. Unfortunately, significant changes are often the result of unforeseen uncertainty or disruptions by natural disasters, pandemics, or recessions. In today’s socioeconomic environment, change is happening rapidly at a speed that requires faster and better response. Change Leaders are able to respond to crises and making decisions to solve challenges if they are empowered and equipped with the right mindset. Change is happening! Way back in time, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the only constant in life is change. Our older generation talks about “the good old days”. At elections often the question is asked “Are we better off now than before the previous election?” Nowadays, the expression ‘New-Normal’ is often mentioned, but no one knows exactly what it is, yet assumes, or rather hopes that is better than the previous ‘Normal’. The ‘New-Normal’ is actually an opportunity for

visionaries and change leaders to create better ways and better circumstances. Where do we go from here? Let a highly respected leader in the region, be it of government or of the business community, stand up and initiate a ‘Change Leadership Summit’ for leaders to become more “change-capable”. Invite appropriately qualified lecturers. Not the run-of-the-mill keynote speakers who predict change like astrologers. Rather have professionals with a track record of change accomplishments and for whom dealing with challenges is a core value. Invite academic leaders of reputable institutions of higher learning in the field of executive leadership. Change Leaders are real leaders. Change Leadership is proactive and builds momentum for what the future should look like, it excites people to pursue a compelling vision of the future and it improves the odds of success. It inspires people to achieve unexpected or remarkable results. Let’s get things going for the sake of social and economic benefits for the communities in the Caribbean.

For one, the providential sovereignty of God means anyone can be an instrument for good in God’s economy. This is what it says of Jeroboam “For the Lord saw the bitter suffering of everyone in Israel, and that there was no one in Israel, slave or free, to help them. And because the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel completely, he used Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash, to save them.” (2 Kings 14: 26-27). Jeroboam was spiritually corrupt, yet God brought about success through him. On the other hand, Amaziah started well but ended poorly. Here is what

was said of him, “After Amaziah turned away from the Lord, there was a conspiracy against his life” (2 Chronicles 25:27) One thing is clear, success, whether it be militarily, economically, or otherwise, is not of itself a good enough marker to determine if someone is a good or bad leader. So what is? Based on the texts we examined, it is being consistently faithful to God’s command to be righteous. That’s it. The two examples listed above should give us pause before we label leaders. Leaders who start good but end badly are the same as morally corrupt leaders who do great things. Even in our culture where a good financial year or bad defeat can define a person’s leadership, we have to do the opposite and take a longer, harder, more fully orbed look at those who lead us before we crown them great leaders or discard them as useless relics.

Investigation launched into Wheeland fatal shooting Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of a man whose body was recovered this past Monday in the Wheeland, Blue Hills community. Police said that at about 8:56 am residents alerted them to the presence of a person that was lying motionless on the ground in Parker’s yard.

Upon arrival at the scene, the unnamed man was confirmed dead from a gunshot wound. Little information is known as to the circumstances of the man’s demise, and police are appealing to anyone with information on the shooting to call them or visit a nearby police station.

Those arrested and charged on October 26, are 18-year-old Giveson Marc, charged with possession of controlled drugs

namely amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis, and another charge of possession with intent to supply the cocaine and amphetamine. A second defendant, Mikey Emile, 24, is similarly charged with possession of amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis, and possession with intent to supply the cocaine and amphetamine. Another 18-year-old, Giberson Marc and 24-year-old Mately Jospeh, both face the same charges as the aforementioned two. The fifth defendant, 34-yearold Wanly Constant, who was arrested on October 27, appeared in court this week to answer three charges of possession of forged government documents.

Bolsonaro tells protesting truckers to clear roads BRAZIL’S President Jair Bolsonaro has appealed to truckers protesting against Sunday’s election results to clear the roads and protest elsewhere. Supporters of the far-right president have erected hundreds of roadblocks across Brazil since it was announced that Mr Bolsonaro’s left-wing rival Lula won the election. Mr Bolsonaro said blocking roads was not a part of “legitimate” protests. He encouraged people to choose other ways of demonstrating. Many hardcore Bolsonaro supporters have refused to accept the result of Sunday’s presidential run-off, which saw former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly win with 50.9% of valid votes. Angry with the result, lorry drivers set up blockades across the country. They have so far

lasted three days and have caused considerable disruption to the transport of goods, including food and fuel. Police have struggled to contain all of the blockades, although the federal highway police said more than 700 had now been dismantled. Addressing the blockades in a video posted on his Twitter account on Wednesday, Mr Bolsonaro said: “I know you are upset... Me too. But we have to keep our heads straight. “I want to make an appeal: clear the roads,” he said, adding that blocking roads “obstructs our right to come and go, which is in our constitution”. However, he encouraged protesters to find other means of demonstrating and welcomed the various rallies that have been held in his support, in which people have displayed Brazilian flags and chanted anti-Lula slogans.

Parkland families address school gunman at sentencing THE gunman who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. A jury last month voted for the defendant to be spared the death penalty, in a decision that outraged relatives of the victims. Ahead of the sentencing, victims’ family members delivered emotional messages of grief and anger.

The gunman pleaded guilty in October last year to the 2018 murders. Shackled and wearing a red prison jumpsuit, the killer showed no emotion as Broward County Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer formally sentenced him on Wednesday. During hard-hitting statements over the course of two days, family members of the victims addressed the murderer - 24-year-old Nikolas Cruz - without ever using his name.

Bank of England expects UK to fall into longest ever recession The Bank of England has warned the UK is facing its longest recession since records began, as it raised interest rates by the most in 33 years. In warned the UK would face a “very challenging” two-year slump with unemployment nearly doubling by 2025. Bank governor Andrew Bailey warned of a “tough road ahead” for UK households. It has lifted interest rates to 3% from 2.25%, the biggest jump since 1989, as it tries to control soaring prices. The cost of living is rising at its fastest rate in 40 years, as the war in Ukraine and knock-on effects from the pandemic has driven up food and energy prices. It has left many households facing hardship and started to drag on the economy. A recession is defined as when a country’s economy shrinks for two three-month periods - or quarters - in a row. Typically companies make less money, pay may fall and unemployment rises. The Bank had previously expected the UK to fall into recession at the end of this year and said it would last for all next year. But it now believes the economy already entered a “challenging”

Tory MP Andrew Bridgen facing suspension from Commons The Bank had previously expected the UK to fall into recession at the end of this year and said it would last for all next year downturn this summer, which will continue next year and into the first half of 2024 - a possible general election year. While it will not be the UK’s deepest downturn, it will be the longest since records began in the 1920s, the Bank said. The unemployment rate is currently at its lowest for 50 years, but it is expected to rise to 6.5%. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said inflation was “weighing heavily on families, pensioners and

businesses” and the government’s “number one priority was to “grip” it. “Interest rates are rising across the world as countries manage rising prices largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” he said. “The most important thing the British government can do right now is to restore stability, sort out our public finances, and get debt falling so that interest rate rises are kept as low as possible.”

Pakistan ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan shot and wounded at protest march PAKISTAN’S former prime minister, Imran Khan, has been shot and wounded in the leg in an attack on his protest march in the eastern city of Wazirabad. It is unclear whether the politician was deliberately targeted as one of his senior aides claimed, or if he was hit by indiscriminate gunfire. Members of his PTI party said another four people were hurt in the shooting. Mr Khan, 70, was leading the march on the capital Islamabad to demand snap elections after he was ousted in April. The former prime minister was seen being taken to a hospital in Lahore. A party spokesman said he had been hit in the shin. Another party leader, provincial health minister Yasmeen Rashid, said Mr Khan was in a stable condition. An unnamed male suspect was later arrested, according to Pakistan’s Geo TV.

CONSERVATIVE MP Andrew Bridgen is facing a Commons suspension after breaching lobbying rules “on multiple occasions and in multiple ways”. The cross-party Standards Committee found he had displayed a “very cavalier” attitude to the rules. It called for him to be suspended for a total of five sitting days for offences including an “unacceptable attack upon the integrity” of Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone. The whole House will vote on sanctions. In a statement, the North West Leicestershire MP said he was “extremely disappointed”, but accepted the committee’s findings and would “comply with them as required to do so”, The committee said Mr Bridgen had called the integrity of Ms Stone into question on the basis of “wholly unsubstantiated and false allegations, and attempted to improperly influence the House’s standards processes”. It recommended a suspension of three days for this - in addition to two days for for three breaches of the MPs’ code of conduct, including failing to declare a relevant interest in emails to ministers. The report found Mr Bridgen had “demonstrated a very cavalier attitude to the House’s rules on registration and declaration of interests, including repeatedly saying that he did not check his own entry in the register”. The committee said Mr Bridgen should have told ministers and officials he received a donation and a funded visit to Ghana from the Cheshire-based firm Mere Plantations, and had a £12,000 contract to be an adviser. He was found to have committed a “significant litany of errors” by failing to do so in eight emails to ministers, and in five meetings with ministers or public officials, as he discussed Mere’s tax treatment and trading of carbon credits. The MP had questioned whether

his reputation as an outspoken critic of then-prime minister Boris Johnson could have influenced Ms Stone’s findings. ‘UNACCEPTABLE ATTACK’ He wrote to her saying: “I was distressed to hear on a number of occasions an unsubstantiated rumour that your contract as Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is due to end in the coming months and that there are advanced plans to offer you a peerage, potentially as soon as the Prime Minister’s resignation honours list. “There is also some suggestion amongst colleagues that those plans are dependent upon arriving at the ‘right’ outcomes when conducting parliamentary standards investigations. “Clearly my own travails with Number 10 and the former PM have been well documented and obviously a small part of me is naturally concerned to hear such rumours. “More importantly however you are rightfully renowned for your integrity and decency and no doubt such rumours are only designed to harm your reputation.” The committee said Mr Bridgen’s email “appears to be an attempt to place wholly inappropriate pressure on the commissioner” which is “completely unacceptable behaviour”. The Commons will vote on whether to approve the recommended five days’ suspension. Mr Bridgen must also apologise to the House and the commissioner. But he will not face a recall petition from his constituents - that could have triggered a by-election - because the period of suspension falls short of the 10 sitting days required. His trip in August 2019 to a plantation funded by Mere, which grows mainly teak in the Ashanti region of Ghana while focusing on the reforestation of degraded land, was valued at £3,251.51.

US midterms: Democracy under threat as key elections loom - Biden US President Joe Biden has accused his predecessor Donald Trump and his supporters of undermining democracy, ahead of next week’s midterm elections. “Make no mistake, democracy is on the ballot for all of us,” Mr Biden, a Democrat, said, referring to threats by some Republicans candidates to refuse to accept the outcome should they lose. Republicans hit back, saying Mr Biden was seeking to “divide and deflect”. Control of both chambers of Congress is at stake in the 8 November vote. Most forecasts suggest Republicans will win control of the House of Representatives, while the Senate could go either way. The political make-up of the chambers has a huge bearing on how easily Mr Biden and his party can get new laws passed. In his nationally televised

remarks on Wednesday night, Mr Biden accused former President Trump of fuelling anger, hate, vitriol and violence by refusing to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election. Referring to the recent attack on the husband of the Democrat House speaker Nancy Pelosi, he said violence was the consequence of lies born out of conspiracy and malice. The US government last week distributed a bulletin to law enforcement agencies warning of a “heightened threat” of domestic violent extremism ahead of the mid-terms, adding that candidates and election workers could be targeted by individuals with “ideological grievances”. Mr Biden’s speech was delivered at Washington DC’s Union Station, a few streets from where Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol last year in an attempt to overturn

President Biden was accused by Republicans of seeking to “divide and deflect”. the results of the 2020 election. “As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America - for governor, for Congress, for attorney general, for secretary of state - who won’t commit to accepting the results of the elections they’re in,” he said. Republicans said President Biden was trying to distract Americans from his low approval

ratings - and from US inflation. House Republican minority leader Kevin McCarthy, who would become speaker of the lower chamber of Congress should his party win control next week, tweeted: “President Biden is trying to divide and deflect at a time when America needs to unite - because he can’t talk about his policies that have driven up the cost of living. “The American people aren’t

buying it.” A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll this week found that half of Americans believe voter fraud is a widespread problem, even though such cases are extremely rare. According to the BBC’s US partner CBS, out of 595 Republicans running for statewide office, just over half - 306 have raised doubts about the 2020 presidential election. (BBC)

North Korea’s suspected ICBM test fails, South Korean government source says NORTH Korea’s suspected launch of its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) failed on Thursday morning, according to a South Korean government source, as Pyongyang intensified its battery of missile tests against a backdrop of US and South Korean military drills that had been scheduled to end on Friday. However, within hours of the presumed failed test, Washington and Seoul agreed to extend those large-scale exercises to an unknown date, according to a statement from the South Korean Air Force, which said “it was necessary to demonstrate a solid combined defense posture of the bilateral alliance under the current security crisis, heightened by North Korea’s provocations.” The joint exercises, named “Vigilant Storm,” began on Monday and involve 240 aircraft and “thousands of service members” from both countries, according to the US Defense Department. North Korea had objected to those drills in statements issued this week, before it ramped up tensions on the peninsula with a barrage of weapons tests on Wednesday and Thursday. Later on Thursday, shortly before US Defense Secretary

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un walks in front of a missile, in a photo released by state media on March 25, 2022. Lloyd Austin met with his South Korean counterpart Lee Jong-sup at the Pentagon, North Korea fired at least one unidentified ballistic missile into the waters off its east coast, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. PRESUMED ICBM TEST The suspected ICBM was launched from the west coast of North Korea

at around 7:39 a.m. local time, and flew about 750 kilometers (466 miles) before falling into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, east of the Korean Peninsula, Japan’s Defense Ministry said. The South Korean government source said officials suspect it was a Hwasong-17, North Korea’s most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile that was first successfully

tested on March 24. That launch set a new standard for Pyongyang, recording the highest altitude and longest duration of any North Korean missile ever tested. The missile hit a maximum altitude of 6,248.5 kilometers (3,905 miles) and flew a distance of 1,090 kilometers (681 miles), according to a report from the Korean Central News Agency

at the time. The flight time was 68 minutes, the report added. However, a South Korean government source told CNN that officials believe the missile fired Thursday only succeeded in separating at the second stage, and seems to have failed after that, falling into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Thursday’s launch reached a maximum altitude of about 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles), according to Japan’s Defense Ministry – less than a third of the record height set in March. In Japan, the presumed ICMB launch triggered warnings to take shelter in the northern Miyagi, Yamagata and Niigata prefectures, where the Japanese Prime Minister’s office initially said it was expected to fly over. Japan’s Defense Ministry later evaluated that the missile did not cross over Japan. North Korea followed the presumed ICBM test Thursday with two short-range ballistic missile launches, according to South Korea and Japan. In a statement Thursday, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Pyongyang’s repeated launches “of ballistic missiles are a serious provocation that harms the peace and stability of not only the Korean Peninsula but also the international community.”

High-profile Haitian politician killed in apparent gang attack -reports A WELL-KNOWN Haitian politician was killed in an apparent gang attack in an affluent suburb of the capital Port-au-Prince, Haitian media reported on Saturday, amid a gang blockade of a fuel terminal that has created a humanitarian crisis. Eric-Jean Baptiste, head of the Rally of Progressive National Democrats (RDNP) political party, was returning to his home in the Laboule 12 area last night when assailants riddled his car with bullets. It was not immediately evident who was responsible for the attack. Haiti’s National Police did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment. Laboule 12 is now increasingly under the control of a gang called Ti Makak, which in recent years has risen from obscurity to become a powerful criminal group involved in extortion and kidnappings. The murder follows the August assassination of former Haitian senator Yvon Buissereth in the same area, a crime that one state official attributed to Ti Makak. The G9 group of gangs, which

UK Navy ship seizes £24M of cocaine, burns drug boat near DR Eric-Jean Baptiste was head of the Rally of Progressive National Democrats (RDNP) political party is not related to Ti Makak, has since September been blocking the Varreux fuel terminal, in response to a government plan to cut fuel subsidies, and has demanded that Prime Minister Ariel Henry resign.

The United Nations has discussed a possible strike force mission to confront gangs and reopen the terminal, but it is not yet evident who would lead such a force. (Reuters)

UK Naval ship HMS Medway, which was deployed to Cayman in September following the passage of Hurricane Ian, has been involved in a £24 million drug bust near the Dominican Republic. The operation, which happened last week, ended with the drug smugglers’ boat being torched and more than 400kg of cocaine being seized. The crew of HMS Medway, working with the US Coast Guard,

boarded the vessel and detained three crew members, Governor Martyn Roper said in a statement Tuesday. He commended the teams for their actions on the high seas. “It is fantastic to see the excellent work of our Royal Navy, stopping illicit drugs reaching the hands of dealers and users. We all know the devastating effect such substances can have on the lives of individuals and their families,” he said. (Cayman Compass)

‘First-of-its-kind’ marina for southern New Providence A “FIRST-of-its-kind” resort and marina development is seeking government approvals to construct on New Providence’s southern shore a 600-vessel boat storage facility that can withstand Hurricane Dorian-strength storms. Legendary Marina Resort at Blue Water Cay, according to documents filed with the Department of Physical Planning, is also seeking permission to develop a 100-slip marina, marine service facility, boutique hotel, rental villas and a mixed-use office/retail component at a location right at the southern end of Fox Hill Road. No details were provided for the number of jobs, or value of investment, that is involved in a development which will be largely constructed on land reclaimed from the sea via dredging. Maps and renderings obtained by Tribune Business show the development is proposed for a site almost due south of the Freedom Farm baseball field, which can presently be reached by driving due south past Checkers’ Fox Hill outlet. Florida-headquartered Legendary Marina, whose principal is Peter Bos, assembled the near-17 acres it requires for

An artist version of the Legendary Marina Resort the project via a series of three real estate transactions worth a combined $4.15m. Documents show the sellers included Peter Andrews, the Bahamas Waste chairman, and fellow Bahamian businessman, Anthony Myers. The duo have close business ties as they both, for example, sit as directors on the Board of Bahamas Hot Mix (BHM). Mr Myers confirmed to Tribune Business that the real estate deals had closed, adding that the other sellers also include Star Insurance

and the Winner family estate. “I hope they make something of it,” he said of Legendary Marina. “I hope they do it. We could never quite make it work. It’s a difficult site, but he has a lot of energy and knows the market very well. I’m sure it will come off.” Phylicia Hanna-Woods, the Bahamas Investment Authority’s (BIA) director of investments, confirmed that the Government’s National Economic Council (NEC) had given “approval in principle” for the Legendary Marina Resort at

Blue Water Cay to proceed in a June 16, 2022, letter to the developer’s attorney, Allyson Maynard-Gibson KC, the ex-attorney general and Cabinet minister. The approval granted permission for the investor “to own and operate a mixed-use community with a wide range of amenities including a marina, dry boat storage facility, clubhouse and residential component, swimming pool, utility services, resort accommodations and related amenities on Blue Water Cay subdivision situated on the eastern side of Fox Hill Road and south of Yamacraw Lake”. The approval was conditioned on Legendary Marina obtaining the necessary Town Planning Committee permits, for which a Town Meeting is being held on November 21, 2022; approval of its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP); and all other necessary go-aheads being obtained from the relevant government agencies. Mrs Hanna-Woods’ letter, though, said the NEC, which is really the Cabinet or a Cabinet committee, had rejected Legendary

Marina’s bid “to own and operate restaurants and retail facilities” - activities that are normally reserved for 100 percent Bahamian ownership only via the National Investment Policy. Instead, the Government “recommended that the developer joint venture with a Bahamian for the operation of restaurants and retail facilities”. The southern New Providence coast is relatively shallow, and the NEC approval indicated that Legendary Marina plans significant dredging - both for its marina and a channel that will give vessels access to deeper water - with the fill created used to reclaim land from the sea for the bulk of the project’s real estate. A Crown Land grant for “reclaimed land to be used in the project” was recommended, along with a seabed lease to Legendary Marina of an area - and on terms - that have yet to be agreed. The “approval in principle” also called for a Heads of Agreement to be negotiated between the Government and developer, with the latter gaining access to the tax breaks and other incentives available under the Hotels Encouragement Act.

Minister: ‘We won’t tolerate’ price control law breakers in the Bahamas A Cabinet minister on Tuesday warned “we will not tolerate people disregarding the law” as food stores openly defied the Bahamas Government’s November 1 deadline to implement expanded price controls while many pharmacies closed. Michael Halkitis, minister of economic affairs, said before the weekly Cabinet meeting that ongoing consultation and negotiations between the Government and private sector does not necessarily mean enforcement of a particular law and/or regulations will be suspended as he signalled that action could be taken to force pharmacies to re-open. The Bahamas Pharmaceutical Association (BPA) on Monday advised its members to close yesterday so that they would not be fined for not implementing the Davis administration’s price control reforms, which would significantly expand the number of items where prices are capped as well as slash retail and wholesale mark-ups. Admitting that the Association’s action took the Government by surprise, Mr Halkitis pointed out that the price control regime expansion is supposed to be temporary, lasting only three months for the pharmaceutical industry and some six months for the food sector although the Government has the ability to extend both. “During that time we would look at working towards methods where we can have a more permanent solution,” Mr Halkitis said. “In the case of the pharmaceuticals, out of the three months now we’re already two-and-a-half weeks into that and we’re still having talks about continued consultations. We think it’s more constructive for pharmacies to open and we expect them to open.” While the Association is complaining that it sent proposed alternatives to the Government, but has yet to get a response, Mr Halkitis countered that they have not given the Davis administration enough time to assess its merits. “We are in a position that maybe we will answer them on some of the issues, but that does not mean that we stop, or we freeze, because that is the danger when we use this word consultation and you see what happens; we get in this seemingly endless back and forth,” the minister added. “Then you have people going to newspapers saying we will disregard the law, and they think that that is a way that they can do that. We will not tolerate people disregarding the law.”

Economic Affairs Minister Michael Halkitis. The Government also has a plan to deal with pharmacies closing indefinitely in protest against the new price controls. Mr Halkitis said: “Under the Pharmacy Act there’s certain responsibilities and obligations to act in the public interest, and we hope it doesn’t come to that. But we think that our commitment to them is if you are implementing, but you’re not completely implemented, we will not come with a hard enforcement. “But we cannot tolerate people saying due to the effort of government to bring relief to the consumers, they’re saying they’re not doing it. That’s not something we’re prepared to contemplate.” There is nothing in the Pharmacy Act that would provide for the government forcing a pharmacy to open. However, Part IV section (3) does allow for disciplinary action to be taken against pharmacies that “abandon” their patients, but there is nothing that allows the Government to force a private pharmacy to open. Mr Halkitis said: “I think the best bet is for them to go to their stores, open their stores, provide a service to the public. We are not unreasonable. We are not unique in terms of being buffeted by inflation; the consumers have taken it on the chin. “The Government has done its part, we believe, by reducing Customs duties, eliminating Customs duties. We get to this point because we have yet to see those savings being passed down to the public, and this is an effort to do that. This is one tool in our toolkit and we believe we are being reasonable. “We’ve foregone enforcement for a couple of weeks. We believe that the right stance is to begin to implement and, if you have issues, you can easily say to us: ‘I’ve reached a certain percentage of implementation’. We can understand that. But to take this

issue that we are not complying at all, and we are freezing, that is not tenable and that is not something we’re willing to accept.” Price controls have always been a controversial instrument among the private sector, especially those companies and businesses impacted by them. They were imposed by the Government

decades ago to prevent what it viewed as an unscrupulous merchant class from exploiting lower income Bahamians by unreasonably hiking the price of food staples and other essential products, thus placing them out of reach while undermining living standards. However, opponents argue they

are an anachronism that have no place in a modern 21st century economy. The private sector views price controls as an inefficient, distortionary mechanism that creates more unintended consequences than the supposed problems they solve. They can result in product shortages through retailers and wholesalers refusing to stock lossmaking items, while these firms also have to increase prices and margins on non-price controlled items to compensate for selling these goods as effective “loss leaders”. Under the Government’s initial proposal, price-controlled markups range from 15 percent to 18 percent for pharmaceutical wholesalers. For retailers, the range is from 35 percent to 40 percent. The medicines covered include vaccines, anti-diabetic drugs, decongestants, laxatives, contraceptives, antacids, antihypertension medicines, cough preparations, cardiovascular agents and serums.

Lisa and Martin became the sixth and seventh named hurricanes of the 2022 season

Martin becomes 7th hurricane of 2022 season NOVEMBER is the final month of the official hurricane season, and it started by checking off another name on the Atlantic list: Martin. Tropical Storm Martin formed in the central North Atlantic on Tuesday, becoming the 13th named storm of the

2022 Atlantic hurricane season. On Wednesday, it became the seventh hurricane of the season. The National Hurricane Center assigns names to tropical storms and hurricanes from one of six rotating lists. Hurricane Lisa, the 12th named storm of the season, formed on Monday

and intensified into the season’s sixth hurricane on Wednesday morning. This is only the third time since 1900 that there have been two November hurricanes simultaneously in the Atlantic. The previous years were 1932 and 2001. (Foxweather)

Prince Harry has ‘no regrets’ about detailing ‘traumatic’ childhood in book PRINCE Harry reportedly found it “cathartic” to write about his “traumatic” childhood for his forthcoming memoir. “At this stage, there are no regrets,” a royal insider told Us Weekly, adding that while it was “cathartic,” it was also a “very rough process.” “And very difficult for him to recount certain traumatic events from his childhood,” the source added. Harry notably lost his mom, Princess Diana, when she died in a car crash on Aug. 31, 1997, when he was just 12 years old. His estranged brother, Prince William,

was 15 at the time. The Duke of Sussex has reportedly written about his life in a way that will “minimise the fallout,” according to the source. “Harry has been working hard to strike a balance that will hopefully minimize the fallout caused by this book,” the insider said, adding that Harry is trying to stay “true to his principles” and keep his publishers “happy at the same time.” While Harry worked with a ghostwriter on “Spare,” he apparently had all the say in what went into his book and had plenty of time to get it done. “[He] didn’t feel rushed and

finished the manuscript on his own terms,” the source told the website. Harry shared last year that his book is supposed to be about his life as a man and not as a prince. “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” Harry said in a statement after Page Six broke the news that he was writing his tome. “I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”

While Harry worked with a ghostwriter on “Spare,” he apparently had all the say in what went into his book and had plenty of time to get it done.

Lena Horne becomes first Black woman to have a Broadway theatre named after her A THEATRE on Broadway has been officially renamed in honour of the late actress and civil rights activist Lena Horne. Horne is the first Black woman to have a theatre named in her honour. The theatre, on West 47th Street, was built in 1926 and was originally named the Mansfield

Theatre. In 1960, it was renamed the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in honour of the late New York Times drama critic. The theatre has the original chandelier hanging inside after it was refurbished in 2000. It seats 1,069 and is one of The Nederlander Organization’s nine Broadway theatres.

Henry Cavill exits ‘The Witcher’ as Liam Hemsworth takes over lead role Henry Cavill is putting down his blades and moving on from “The Witcher” after three seasons as the leading man on the Netflix series. The actor confirmed that he will be stepping away from the role on his Instagram on Friday, writing, “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4.” He went on to share that actor Liam Hemsworth “will be taking up the mantle” of the heroic

blonde-haired character. “As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men,” Cavill wrote. On his own Instagram, “The Hunger Games” star Hemsworth wrote on Saturday that as a fan of the show, he was “over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia.” “Henry Cavill has been an

Robin Williams’ death made Wayne Brady seek therapy for his depression WAYNE Brady is opening up about his battle with depression and how Robin Williams’ tragic death led him to reach out for help, a quality he now regards as a “superpower.” “Robin was someone that I respected greatly, [and I] was blessed to work with him. I was touched by him my entire life,” the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” alum, 50, told Verywell Mind in an interview published Wednesday. “And when you see someone who had the mind or Robin Williams and the kindness of Robin Williams and the talent of Robin Williams say, ‘I cannot talk to anybody about what is going on with me because it’s too great,’ I knew that I didn’t want that for myself.”

Brady now utilises therapy and medication and even attends men’s support groups, in addition to cultivating mindfulness. “I think, like a lot of people in the African-American culture, I grew up thinking that therapy was a bad word or therapy’s not for me — therapy’s for white people, therapy’s for crazy people,” said Brady. Oscar- and Emmy-winning comedian Williams died by suicide in August 2014, following issues from Lewy body dementia. He was 63. The “Good Will Hunting” and “Mrs. Doubtfire” star’s son Zak Williams annually takes to social media to honor his father on the anniversary of his death.

It has received favorable reviews and already spawned a second season that was released last year. Season

3 is due next summer. At San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, ahead of the show’s premiere, Cavill spoke about lobbying for the role after playing a popular video game also based on the literary series. “I’m a gamer,” he said at the time, via Vulture. “I was very very passionate about the games. I thought, ‘I really hope they make this into a TV show or movie.’” When the show finally was in

development, Cavill was proactive about being considered for the starring role – even before a script had been finalized. “It was something I wasn’t going to let pass me by without giving it my best shot,” Cavill said at Comic Con. “I annoyed my agents all the time. They said, ‘They’re not ready.’” But now, Cavill is surely focused on reprising another iconic previous role on his resume.

Migos rapper Takeoff killed by ‘stray bullet’, record label claims Migos rapper Takeoff was killed by a “stray bullet”, his record company has claimed in a statement. The 28-year-old, Grammynominated musician died on Tuesday in a shooting at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas. Paying tribute, his record label said in a statement: “Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated.” Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said he did not want to speculate on whether Takeoff was the target. He added: “Based on what people say about him, he’s well respected, non-violent. “I would not expect him to be involved but I do want to wait on the investigation - but we have no reason to believe that he was involved in anything criminal at the time, just as people describe him as very peaceful, loving, a great entertainer.” He pleaded with witnesses at the scene to come forward. “Please step up, get the

Takeoff was 28 years old. information to us so we can bring some closure to this family who’s hurting right now,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon. The shooting took place at about 02:30 local time (07:30 GMT) on a balcony outside the 810 Billiards

and Bowling Alley, where Takeoff had reportedly been playing dice with his uncle and bandmate, Quavo. Police said 40 to 50 guests had been at a private party when someone opened fire. When they arrived, officers said they found

a large crowd and a man with a gunshot wound to the head or neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people, a 24-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, were injured and were driven to hospital in private vehicles. No arrests have been made. Police Chief Finner said “at least two firearms” were involved in the incident” and that there were “at least two individuals pulling triggers around here”. Takeoff, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, was one third of the chart-topping Atlanta band Migos, whose hits included Walk It Talk It, Stir Fry and Versace. They achieved mainstream success with their 2016 single Bad And Boujee, which topped the US charts and was nominated for best rap performance at the Grammy Awards. Takeoff did not appear on that song, saying he missed the recording session, but he was considered to be one of the key

architects of the Migos sound full of punchy vocal triplets, and sparse, stuttering beats. Tributes to the star have flooded social media, with friends, collaborators and fans sharing their devastation over his loss. Drake, whose remix of Versace gave the band their first taste of chart success 201,3 wrote on Instagram: “I got the best memories of all of us seeing the world together and bringing light to every city we touch. That’s what I’ll focus on for now.” Gucci Mane, who recently collaborated with Takeoff and his uncle and bandmate Quavo on the song Us vs. Them, shared a photo of the rapper on Instagram, saying news of his death “broke my heart”. Fellow Atlanta legends Outkast echoed the statement, sharing a photo of Takeoff with the caption: “Rest in peace, Takeoff. Sending our deepest condolences and prayers to his family, friends and community of people touched by his craft.” (BBC)

Julie Powell, food writer behind ‘Julie & Julia,’ dead at 49 JULIE POWELL, a bestselling author who chronicled her efforts to prepare every recipe in Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” which later inspired the movie “Julie & Julia,” died Oct. 26 at her home in New York. She was 49. Her death was confirmed to the New York Times by her husband, Eric Powell, who said the cause was cardiac arrest. Powell’s book was turned into a 2009 film directed by Nora Ephron, with Meryl Streep playing Julia Child and Amy Adams in the role of Powell herself. CNN has reached out to the influential food writer’s publisher for comment. “Julie & Julia” began as a blog on Salon.com in which Powell, seeking an outlet from her humdrum life as a temp in downtown Manhattan soon after 9/11, embarked on a home-cooking odyssey to successfully pull off all 524 recipes in Child’s classic French cookbook over the course of one year in her small Astoria, Queens kitchen. The resulting memoir, “Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen,” came after the blog gained a loyal following that was eager to share in Powell’s successes and failures as she endeavored to prepare challenging dishes like Boeuf Bourguignon and a deboned duck

Lee and Morgan attended the premiere for Avengers: Infinity War in April 2018.

Julie Powell at the premiere of “Julie & Julia” in 2009 for Canard en Croûte. Since the success of that bestselling book, Powell went on to write one more in 2009, “Cleaving: a Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession.” More recently, she returned to Salon earlier this year to write a series of commentary pieces about the Food Network series “The Julia Child Challenge.” “She truly made her own lane,” Salon senior writer Mary Elizabeth Williams, who previously managed Open Salon, the platform that hosted Powell’s blog, said of the

writer. “We were lucky enough to be the conduit.” At the center of Powell’s blog, and later the acclaimed film that used it as a base, was the writer’s admiration for Julia Child’s cooking and way of life. “Julia taught me what it takes to find your way in the world. It’s not what I thought it was,” Powell wrote. “I thought it was all about — I don’t know, confidence or will or luck. Those are all some good things to have, no question. But there’s something else, something that these things grow out of. It’s joy.” (CNN)

Stan Lee: Marvel Comics pioneer’s manager cleared of theft charges A Los Angeles judge has cleared the former business manager of late Marvel Comics mastermind Stan Lee of grand theft charges. Superior Court Judge George Lomeli dismissed three felony counts against Keya Morgan after a jury had voted 11-1 in favour of his acquittal. Prosecutors alleged Mr Morgan stole $222,480 by selling Lee memorabilia in the months before he died in 2018. Additional charges including elder abuse were dropped before the trial. “My client’s exoneration

today came after four years of baseless accusations by the LA District Attorney,” defence lawyer Alex Kessel said in a statement to the Reuters news agency. Lee helped dream up The Fantastic Four for Marvel Comics in 1961 and went on to co-create titles including Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. He died in November 2018, but his final few months were marred by conflicting claims over who was running his affairs. (BBC)

‘Planet killer’ asteroid spotted hiding in the sun’s glare ASTRONOMERS have spotted three near-Earth asteroids that were lurking undetected within the glare of the sun. One of the asteroids is the largest potentially hazardous object posing a risk to Earth to be discovered in the last eight years. The asteroids belong to a group found within the orbits of Earth and Venus, but they’re incredibly difficult to observe because the brightness of the sun shields them from telescope observations. To avoid the sun’s glare, astronomers leaped at the chance to conduct their observations during the brief window of twilight. An international team spied the space rocks while using the Dark Energy Camera located on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Their findings were published Monday in The Astronomical Journal. One of the asteroids, called 2022 AP7, is 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) wide and has an orbit that could bring it within Earth’s path in the future, but it’s difficult for the scientists to know when. “Our twilight survey is scouring the area within the orbits of Earth and Venus for asteroids,” said lead study author Scott S. Sheppard, an astronomer at the Earth & Planets Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC, in a statement. “So far we have found two large near-Earth asteroids that are about 1 kilometer across, a size that we call planet killers.”

This artist’s illustration depicts an asteroid that orbits closer to the sun than Earth’s orbit.

Scientists determined that the asteroid crosses Earth’s orbit, but it occurs when Earth is on the opposite side of the sun – this pattern will continue for centuries since it takes the asteroid five years to complete an orbit around the sun. But over time, the asteroid’s orbital movement will be more in sync with Earth’s. Scientists don’t know the asteroid’s orbit with enough precision to say how dangerous it could become in the future, but for now, it “will stay well away from Earth,” Sheppard said. A near-Earth asteroid measuring 1 kilometre (0.6 mile) or larger “would have a devastating impact on life as we know it,” he said. Dust and pollutants would fill the atmosphere for years, cooling the planet and preventing sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface. “It would be a mass extinction

event like hasn’t been seen on Earth in millions of years,” Sheppard said. The team expects to find more planet killer asteroids in their survey over the next couple of years. Scientists believe there are about 1,000 near-Earth objects larger than 1 kilometre in size, and surveys over the last decade have found about 95% of them. The other two asteroids, 2021 LJ4 and 2021 PH27, are on much safer orbits that don’t pose a risk to Earth. Astronomers are intrigued by 2021 PH27, however, because it’s the closest known asteroid to the sun. As the space rock moves closer to our star, its surface reaches temperatures hot enough to meld lead. Asteroid-hunting astronomers face quite a challenge if they want

to find space rocks within the inner solar system – which includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and the main asteroid belt. In order to avoid the harsh light of the sun, they only have two 10-minute windows each night to sweep the area with ground-based telescopes. During twilight, astronomers still face the complications of a bright sky in the background due to the sun. And in order to search the inner solar system, their telescopes must focus near the horizon, which means they have to peer through Earth’s thick atmosphere and its blurring effects. If things sound complicated for ground-based telescopes, observations of the inner solar system are impossible for spacebased telescopes like Hubble and James Webb because the sun’s heat and intense light could fry their instruments, which is why both space observatories are pointed away from the star. The Dark Energy Camera’s wide-field capability helped astronomers overcome their observational challenges and they were able to sweep vast stretches of the night sky in detail. “Large areas of sky are required because the inner asteroids are rare, and deep images are needed because asteroids are faint and you are fighting the bright twilight sky near the Sun as well as the distorting effect of Earth’s atmosphere,” Sheppard said. “DECam can cover large areas of sky to depths not achievable on smaller telescopes, allowing us to go deeper, cover

more sky, and probe the inner Solar System in ways never done before.” Near-Earth objects are asteroids and comets with an orbit that places them within 48.3 million kilometres (30 million miles) from Earth. Detecting the threat of near-Earth objects that could cause grave harm is a primary focus of NASA and other space organisations around the world. No asteroids are currently on a direct impact course with Earth, but more than 27,000 near-Earth asteroids exist in all shapes and sizes. While NASA recently proved it can successfully alter the motion of an asteroid in space with September’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART mission, astronomers first must find space rocks that pose a threat to our planet. Instruments like the Dark Energy Camera, as well as future space-based observatories like the Near Earth Object Surveyor, can pinpoint previously unknown asteroids. Studying and understanding asteroid populations will also help scientists learn the distribution and dynamics of space rocks – like how the heat of the sun can fracture and fragment them over time. “Our DECam survey is one of the largest and most sensitive searches ever performed for objects within Earth’s orbit and near to Venus’s orbit,” Sheppard said. “This is a unique chance to understand what types of objects are lurking in the inner Solar System.” (CNN)

Eerie image of the sun ‘smiling’ captured by NASA A NASA observatory captured what appeared to be a jack-o’lantern-esque smile on the sun’s surface, showing what are actually splotches on the sun’s surface that are cooler than the surrounding areas. The image, taken by NASA’s space-based Solar Dynamics Observatory, was shared by the space agency on social media last week and prompted an outpouring of responses weighing in on what the pattern of erratic dark spots resembled. The official Twitter account for NASA’s heliophysics department referred to it simply as a “smiling” sun, while the United Kingdom’s Science and Technology Facilities Council weighed in by photoshopping a pumpkin into the

picture, turning it into a jack-o’lantern. Other users saw the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the movie “Ghostbusters,” a lion, a blobfish or various snackfoods that bear smiley faces. The dark areas that make up the facial pattern, however, are what are called coronal holes, which appear as irregular black patches when the sun is imaged in ultraviolet light or certain types of X-ray images, according to the space agency. Coronal holes are not as hot as the surrounding areas and aren’t as dense, making them darker in appearance. They can pop up on the solar surface at any time. Their magnetic field structure also sets up coronal holes to

release streams of solar wind, or charged particles, at speeds of more than 1 million miles per hour. These winds are powerful enough to reach Earth. Our planet’s magnetic field, which acts as a shield, largely deflects solar wind activity, but it can disturb the atmosphere. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, routinely captures such images of the sun and is monitoring its activity on a nearly continual basis. The orbiting observatory was launched in 2010, and it’s part of the space agency’s Living With a Star Program, which aims to analyze how solar activity impacts our home planet and the space between the Earth and our home star.

Even less than recommended amounts of caffeine while pregnant could impact your child’s life Starting the day with a hot cup of caffeinated coffee or tea may sound divine to some, but it could have negative impacts for the children of people who are pregnant, according to a new study. Children who were exposed to small amounts of caffeine before birth were found on average to be shorter than the children of people who did not consume caffeine while pregnant, according to the study published Monday in JAMA Network Open. Children of parents who consumed caffeine while they were in the womb were shown to be shorter in stature at age 4 than those whose parents did not — and the gap widened each year through age 8, according to lead author Dr. Jessica Gleason, a perinatal epidemiologist. “To be clear, these are not huge differences in height, but there are these small differences in height among the children of people who consumed caffeine during pregnancy,” said Gleason, who is a research fellow at Eunice Kennedy

Even small amounts of caffeine may impact a fetus in utero, according to the study

Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists currently recommends limiting caffeine consumption to less than 200 milligrams per day while pregnant.

For context, a mug of caffeinated tea typically has about 75 milligrams of caffeine, a mug of instant coffee has about 100 milligrams and a mug of filtered coffee has about 140 milligrams, according to the Cleveland Clinic. And even chocolate has about 31

milligrams of caffeine. But the differences found in the most recent study were found even in the children of parents who drank less than half a cup of coffee per day while pregnant — well below the current guidelines, Gleason said. It’s not clear whether this study effectively shows causation between maternal caffeine consumption and child height, according to Dr. Gavin Pereira, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at Curtin University in Australia. Pereira was not involved in the study. “The correlation observed in this study can be explained by the existence of a common cause of both caffeine consumption and growth restriction e.g., poverty, stress, and dietary factors,” said Pereira in a statement to the Science Media Centre. WHY THE CONCERN OVER SMALLER STATURE? If shorter height in early childhood were to persist into adulthood,

there would be a chance those children could face the risk of poor cardiometabolic outcomes, such as heart disease and diabetes, which are associated with smaller stature. But there is still no way to know if the difference would persist into adulthood, and studies like this that focus on population outcomes are no reason for individual families to panic, Gleason said. These population-level trends should instead be taken together with other research for organizations to reassess their recommendations, Gleason said. In the past, there were inconsistent studies regarding whether consuming caffeine during pregnancy impacted the fetus, but the evidence has come together in recent years, Gleason said. A 2015 meta-analysis that reviewed all of the existing research found there is a dose response association between consumption of caffeine and smaller birth size. And a 2020 study revealed there is no safe level of caffeine for a developing fetus. (CNN)

One in five deaths of US adults 20 to 49 is from excessive drinking, study shows A BEER, glass of wine or cocktail may feel so common place that you don’t even think about pouring another, but a new study suggested it may be important for everyone to be mindful of their alcohol use. An estimated 1 in 5 deaths of people ages 20 to 49 were attributable to excessive alcohol use in the United States, according to the study published Tuesday in JAMA Network Open. For people ages 20 to 64, drinking-related deaths accounted for 1 in 8, the study said. The percentage of deaths attributed to alcohol use varied state by state, but nationally it’s a leading cause of preventable death, said lead study author Dr. Marissa Esser, lwho leads the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s alcohol program. Researchers took national and state mortality data from 2015 to 2019 and looked at deaths either fully or partially attributable to excessive drinking. Those causes of death included vehicle accidents, alcohol poisoning and other health impacts, such as liver disease, Esser said. The data showed that the deaths fully attributable to alcohol have risen in the past decade, Esser added.

“I’m not surprised at the numbers,” said David Jernigan, a professor of health law, policy and management at Boston University. “This is a conservative estimate.” Jernigan was not involved in the study. Esser said there were deaths that alcohol likely contributed to that the study’s researchers could not include in their estimates. Some conditions may have had alcohol as a factor, but researchers were not able to verify for sure the role that drinking played. In other cases, they were not able to determine if someone who died of an illness used to drink excessively but then stopped, Esser added. And people often underreport how much they are drinking, Jernigan said. “It doesn’t get anywhere near the attention that it should,” he said. “The bottom line is (researchers) continue to show that excessive alcohol use is a big problem in the US.” HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S TOO MUCH For health and safety, Jernigan said the goal for state and local government agencies should be encouraging almost everyone to drink less.

The percentage of deaths attributed to alcohol use varied state by state.

“States and communities can prevent these premature deaths using evidence-based strategies to reduce the availability and accessibility of alcohol and increase its price,” Esser said. That can mean increasing taxes on alcohol or limiting where alcohol is sold, Esser added. On an individual level, Esser suggested that people could try to stop or limit alcohol consumption. The CDC defines moderate drinking as two drinks or less in a day for men or one drink or less in a day for women. Two-thirds of adults report drinking more than

moderate amounts at least once a month, the organization added. The CDC also estimates that 1 in 6 adults binge drink — defined as consuming four or more drinks on an occasion for a woman or five or more drinks on an occasion for a man — with a quarter of those doing so at least weekly. Reducing drinking can have a similar effect as dieting – the more you tell yourself you can’t have it, the more you want it, said Natalie Mokari, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Charlotte, North Carolina. She recommends starting with

one less drink than you would usually have at each occasion or breaking a daily habit by limiting drinking to certain days. You can also have a sparkling water in between drinks or make weaker cocktails than usual to reduce your alcohol consumption, she said previously. And if you are overcoming a social pressure to drink, remember that people may make you feel bad because they are uncomfortable about their own relationship with drinking, said Annie Grace, author of “This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol” in a prior article. It often helps to have a nonalcoholic drink in your hand at social events, so the offer to have a drink doesn’t even come up, said biological psychologist Aaron White, senior scientific adviser to the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Slow down your body’s alcohol intake by eating while drinking, alternate alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and planning alcohol-free days, Harvard Medical School in Boston suggests. A tool on the CDC website can help individuals evaluate their drinking and then come up with a plan to make healthier alcohol choices. (CNN)

Christmas turkey fears as England bird flu rules widened ALL poultry and captive birds in England must be kept indoors from 7 November under new restrictions to fight avian flu, the government has announced. The housing order comes after turkey farmers warned of a shortage this Christmas caused by the country’s largest ever bird flu outbreak. The British Poultry Council has said shoppers could be hit by price rises. About 5.5m birds have now died or been culled since October 2021. That includes 2.3m birds this October alone. In total, more than 210 cases of bird flu have been confirmed since October 2021, including 80 confirmed cases in England this month. “We are now facing this year, the largest ever outbreak of bird flu and are seeing rapid escalation in the number of cases on commercial farms and in backyard birds across England,” said Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss. The disease circulates naturally in wild birds that can spread the flu to poultry and captive birds when they migrate to the UK. Farmer Tom Copas has already been housing his 60,000 free-range turkeys on his farm in Cookham, Berkshire, to protect them from bird flu.

All poultry and captive birds in England will have to be kept indoors.

“It’s terrifying right now. Our entire business depends on the Christmas market. If we were to get bird flu we would lose everything,” he told BBC News. “I know of two seasonal producers who had outbreaks who will never have turkeys again. One produces about a million turkeys for Christmas and they have lost about half of them.” He warned of a shortage of Christmas turkeys on the shelves and price rises: “It’s expected that the supermarkets will be at least 20% short, if not more, of their Christmas turkeys.”

Richard Griffiths, chief executive of the British Poultry Council, the trade body for the poultry meat industry, said the price of free-range turkeys was likely to rise. “The free-range side of the sector has been heavily hit and, at the moment, we are seeing numbers of about 30-35% of freerange production either being directly affected by the disease or culled because of it,” he said. Under the national housing order, free-range poultry producers will still be allowed to label their eggs and meat as free-range for up

to 16 weeks. Essex-based turkey supplier Paul Kelly, who has 34,000 birds across a number of farms, said he hoped buyers would still purchase from free-range farmers even if birds had to be kept indoors for longer. “Farmers can’t be put out of business because of a few months when they have had to bring them inside. The consumer has to acknowledge the fact that these are extraordinary times,” he told BBC News. “This is the worst year I have ever known in my whole life and

business, by a long way. It is the foot and mouth of the poultry industry at the moment. It is, in East Anglia, absolutely devastating.” The mandatory order to keep birds indoors follows regional measures introduced in Norfolk, Suffolk and parts of Essex earlier in the month. Bird keepers across the UK were then forced to follow strict biosecurity measures when an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) was introduced on 17 October. A national housing order has not been introduced in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, where the situation is being monitored. The last mandatory UK-wide housing order was only lifted in May after being put in place by the chief veterinary officers of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland last November. Measures introduced last week now allow farmers to kill and freeze turkey, geese and ducks and sell them as fresh closer to Christmas. The change is supposed to help producers avoid the risks of losing their flocks in a cull or to the disease. Compensation rules have been changed so that farmers receive money at the start of any cull of birds, not at the end. (BBC)

Despite conflict Russia sends France giant magnet for nuclear fusion project Russia on Tuesday dispatched one of six giant magnets needed for the ITER nuclear fusion program in France, one of the last international scientific projects Moscow participates in despite the Ukraine conflict. The ship carrying the Russianmade magnet—or "poloidal field coil"—departed Saint Petersburg on Tuesday under gray skies. On board, the massive ninemeter-wide coil, which weighs 200 metric tons had been tightly wrapped to withstand a two-week trip to Marseille, southern France. The ring-shaped magnet built under Russian atomic agency Rosatom's supervision will make up the top part of the world's largest "tokamak". The tokamak is a magnetic fusion device built in France following the same principle that powers our sun and stars. The Russian piece was meant to leave in May but sanctions

forbidding Russian ships docking in Europe delayed the departure. Still, the "current situation did not change the fact that we will fullfil our obligations", Rosatom representative for international projects Viacheslav Perchukov said. Geopolitical tensions "practically did not affect the realization of this project", Perchukov said. "Without (the Russian coil), the tokamak will not work," senior ITER center scientist Leonid Khimchenko told AFP. He hailed a "unique" achievement, over eight years in the making. In southern France, 35 nations are collaborating to build the largest nuclear fusion device in the world. "This is such an interesting project that in fact we are all one family... there is no competition between us, nothing," Khimchenko said. The project was set in motion after a 1985 summit between US President Ronald Reagan and Russian leader

The magnet built under Russian atomic agency Rosatom's supervision will make up the top part of the world's largest "tokamak" -- a fusion device built in France on the same principle that powers our sun

Mikhail Gorbachev. Andrey Mednikov, a scientist in charge of the production of the

poloidal field coil, praised the continuing international cooperation. "If this cooperation was brought

to a halt," Mednikov said, "everyone would lose: both Russia and the international community."

Harry Kane will be given the Freedom of City of London in January.

Harry Kane to be awarded Freedom of City of London England captain Harry Kane is to be awarded the Freedom of the City of London. The 29-year-old striker, who also plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has been given it in recognition of his outstanding sporting achievements, the City of London Corporation said. The professional footballer, from Walthamstow, will be handed the award at a ceremony in January. Kane said it was “a proud moment for myself and my family”. “It is a real honour to be recognised by the city I grew up in and love,” he added. Kane was nominated for the award by the corporation’s policy chairman Chris Hayward and his deputy Keith Bottomley. Mr Hayward said the striker, who in September became only

the second England player to score 51 goals for his country when he netted from the penalty spot in a friendly against Germany, “richly deserved” the award. News of the Freedom comes as Kane prepares to lead England’s Lions at the World Cup, which kicks off in Qatar on 20 November. During his professional career, which began in 2009, Kane was promoted to Spurs’ senior squad aged 16. He has gone on to win a string of awards including PFA Young Player of the Year, three Premier League Golden Boots, the World Cup 2018 Golden Boot, and Premier League Playmaker of the Season. The Freedom will go alongside an MBE he was handed by Prince William in 2019 for services to football.

England won the 2022 Women’s European Championship.

Women’s Nations League to be introduced for first time in 2023 A Women’s Nations League will take place for the first time next year. European football’s governing body Uefa announced the new competition will begin in Autumn 2023 in the lead up to the 2025 Women’s European Championship. The men’s Nations League was introduced in 2018 to replace international friendlies with more competitive games. “Off the back of a historic Women’s Euros, it’s now time to further develop women’s national team football,” said Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. “We have built an open, competitive, and continuous system in which every match will

matter, a true reflection of the European sports model. “I am convinced that this format will help all European national associations and keep the dream of qualifying for a major international tournament alive.” The Women’s Nations League will see countries placed into leagues of three or four teams based on ranking, with promotion and relegation between three tiers and the winners of the four toptier groups contesting the Nations League finals. The competition will link into qualification for both the 2025 European Championship and the 2027 World Cup, with a country’s

Nations League rank determining a team’s starting league position in the qualifiers. The European qualifiers, which begin in Spring 2024, will determine qualification for the European Championships and a team’s starting league position in the following Nations League campaign. Every four years, the Nations League finals will also determine which three European sides qualify for the Olympics. For 2024, Olympic hosts France will be joined by the two Nations League finalists - or third-placed team if France reach the final. (BBC)

Houston Astros make baseball history with no-hitter The Houston Astros have made history by completing baseball’s first ever combined no-hitter in the sport’s showcase event, the World Series. The side’s pitchers prevented the Philadelphia Phillies from hitting a single base in the nineinnings clash. Houston ran out 5-0 winners to draw level in the seven-game series. Star pitcher Cristian Javier also made history, becoming just the second player to pitch for six or more innings without conceding a hit. A combined no-hitter occurs when more than one pitcher prevents the opposition from making a hit. The sport has seen 18 in Major League Baseball history, but it had never happened in the league’s franchise event. Javier was joined in the achievement by relief pitchers

Cristian Javier led the side to an unprecedented combined no-hitter in baseball’s showcase game.

Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly. But it was the 25-year-old Dominican’s fastball, which can

reach speeds of up to 93mph (149km/h), which flummoxed the host side and stunned fans at the Citizens Bank Park.

The Astros catcher Christian Vazquez hailed Javier’s performance and said the star had “best fastball I’ve ever seen”. “You can call it whoever is in the batter’s box and it’s going to be awesome. It’s going to be effective and it’s going to do the job.” Javier joins former New York Yankees pitcher Don Larsen - who threw a perfect game in game 5 of the 1956 World Series at Yankee Stadium - as the only pitchers in the World Series 118-year history to finish an outing conceding no hits. He also becomes the first player to start in multiple combined nohitters, re-enacting the key role he played against the New York Yankees in June. Javier, who has only surrendered one run since 8 September, is one of the sport’s most underappreciated stars. He was signed as an undrafted free agent from the Dominican

Republic in 2015. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Houston manager Dusty Baker said of Javier after the game. “The sky is the limit for that young man.” The Phillies, who had been unbeaten at home this post-season, are fighting for their first World Series title since 2008. But the Astros - who are appearing for the fourth time in six seasons - are seeking redemption after their 2017 win was tainted by revelations of illegal signstealing. They were accused of using a video camera in the centre field to film opposition team’s hand signals regarding the next pitch. The league imposed severe punishments on the side, with general manager Jeff Luhnow and field manager AJ Hinch receiving season long suspensions, and the club was fined $5m (£4.38m). (BBC)

Son Heung-min: Tottenham & South Korea forward a doubt for World Cup Pakistan launched a recovery from 48-4 to post 185-9 and then took regular wickets to deny South Africa a victory

T20 World Cup: Shadab Khan-inspired Pakistan beat South Africa to avoid elimination PAKISTAN boosted their slim hopes of progressing in the Men’s T20 World Cup with a brilliantly frenetic win against South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Pakistan launched a recovery from 48-4 to post 185-9 and then took regular wickets to deny South Africa in a chase shortened by rain to win by 33 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. The result means Pakistan can still qualify for the semi-finals but need to beat Bangladesh on Sunday and hope South Africa fail to beat the Netherlands or India lose to Zimbabwe. They are indebted to Shadab

Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed, who combined for a wild partnership of 82 from 35 balls. Shadab smashed 52 from 22 balls and Iftikhar a 35-ball 51 in an infectious display of hitting, to the delight of a raucous, Pakistandominated crowd. Then, after Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram put on 49 in 27 balls to give South Africa hope, leg-spinner Shadab removed both within three deliveries. Rain arrived soon after, with the target reduced to 142 off 14 overs, South Africa needing 73 off 30 balls from 69-4. Heinrich Klaasen hinted at an

improbable Proteas win by striking three fours in his first four balls after the restart but his dismissal, caught off Shaheen Afridi, allowed Pakistan to clinically close out the match. Previously unbeaten South Africa would have been the first side to confirm a semi-final spot had they won but will still go through by beating the Netherlands on Sunday. Pakistan could go through if they beat Bangladesh and South Africa-Netherlands is washed out. The two sides would then be level on six points, but Pakistan would go through by having three wins to the Proteas’ two. (BBC)

TOTTENHAM Hotspur forward Son Heung-min needs surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye and his involvement in the World Cup is in doubt. Son, 30, suffered the injury during Tottenham’s 2-1 win in Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday. “Following surgery, Son will commence rehabilitation with our medical staff and we shall update supporters further in due course,” said a Spurs statement. South Korea’s first game in the World Cup is against Uruguay on 24 November. Tottenham have not said when Son will have surgery and have not put a timescale on how long the former Bayer Leverkusen forward will be sidelined for. Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne broke his nose and eye socket in the 2021 Champions League final but played for Belgium in the delayed

2020 European Championship 19 days later. Son has scored 35 goals in 104 appearances for his country, who are in Group H in Qatar alongside Portugal, Ghana and Uruguay. In the more immediate future, the injury is a blow for Spurs, who host Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday (16:30 GMT). Antonio Conte’s side are third in the table - five points behind leaders Arsenal having played one game more - and face Nottingham Forest away in the third round of the Carabao Cup on 9 November, before hosting Leeds United at home in the league on 12 November before the break for the World Cup. Son has had his form questioned this season but scored a hat-trick after coming on as a substitute in the 6-2 win over Leicester City on 17 September and netted twice against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on 12 October.

Nadal isn’t confident about World Tour Finals after suffering Paris Masters defeat Rafael Nadal is out of the Paris Masters after being defeated by Tommy Paul – and the Spaniard isn’t betting on winning the ATP Tour Finals, either. Paul, ranked No. 31 in the world, secured a 3-6 7-6(4) 6-1 victory over world No. 2 Nadal, who hadn’t played since teaming up with his long-time rival Roger Federer at the Laver Cup. Down after the first set, the American bounced back to break Nadal to love for 2-2 in the second. Paul then broke Nadal’s serve three times in the deciding set to wrap up the victory, in the process denying the Spaniard a chance to return to the top of the world rankings. “I think he played aggressive, a lot of great shots. I had my match in that second set with set and break,” Nadal said after the game.

The Spaniard was denied the chance to return to the top of the world rankings.

“Yeah, I didn’t deserve the victory playing that bad[ly] in that key moment, no. “Until that moment it was okay, a good match for me. Knowing that it is my first match since a while,” he said. It was Nadal’s first match

since he and his wife welcomed a son last month. The 22-time grand slam winner, who appeared injured against Paul, added that he hoped to make it to the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy and that he had “nothing to lose.”

The prestigious, season-ending ATP Finals run from November 13-20. It’s a tournament for which Nadal has already qualified with his ranking position, though remarkably given the Spaniard has won those

22 grand slam titles he’s never triumphed at the ATP Finals, despite having reached the final twice. “Just give myself a chance to enjoy another World Tour Finals, no? You never know when is gonna be the last, especially at my age. So I’m gonna give my best to enjoy this one, and then next year’s of course I’m gonna fight to be back there,” the 36-year-old said. “I need to put everything in perspective, and I’m just gonna keep trying my best, and I need to be healthy enough to spend days on the tour. That’s it.” Nonetheless, Nadal didn’t seem confident about his chances in Turin, adding that it is “difficult to imagine now arriving in the World Tour Finals in shape, in enough good shape to win a tournament like this one that I didn’t win during all my tennis career.” (CNN)

Jabeur came back to defeat American third seed Jessica Pegula 1-6 6-3 6-3. Greek world number five Sakkari recorded a second straightset win as she defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-2 6-4. It is the second year in a row that Sakkari has reached the semi-finals and she is the first player at this year’s event to guarantee her progress.

LUKA Doncic continued his scorching start to the 2022-23 NBA season and matched a record which only two NBA Hall of Famers have recorded. Doncic scored 33 points in the Dallas Mavericks’ 103-100 win against the Utah Jazz, meaning he’s now scored over 30 points in all seven of his games this season. In doing so, the 23-year-old became just the third player in NBA history – after Jack Twyman did it once and Wilt Chamberlain did it twice – to score over 30 points in the first seven games of a new season – and the first in almost 60 years. Previously, four-time NBA MVP Chamberlain had been the last to reach the mark, doing so in 1962-63. Chamberlain achieved it first in 1959-60, in the same season which Twyman did it. Doncic has regularly rubbed shoulders with the legends of the NBA in the few years he’s been in the NBA, consistently breaking records set by the greats of the

game. And after the victory, he acknowledged the ever-presence of the former San Francisco Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers great. “I always hear Wilt Chamberlain. He’s always there,” Doncic said afterwards. Doncic added: “I just wished to play in the NBA. This is really a dream for me. “I couldn’t be happier just to play basketball and to do my job, and that’s it. I’m just happy to play basketball and when we win games, it’s even better.” Doncic has some way to go to equal the record of consecutive 30-point games to open a season. Chamberlain holds the record with 23 straight games in 1962-63. He is also second on the list with eight games in 1959-60. The Slovenian was many people’s favorites for the MVP award this season, and has begun in electrifying fashion, averaging

36.1 points. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd praised Doncic after his all-round performance provided the driving force behind Dallas’ victory on Wednesday. “I think it’s special when you talk about MJ (Michael Jordan) and Wilt,” said Kidd, likening Doncic’s influence at the Mavs as similar to that of the former Chicago Bulls star and that storied team. “That’s rare air. We get to see that on a nightly basis, so that’s pretty cool. A 23-year-old kid that is playing at this level is really, really kind of special and cool to see. “He can do it in so many ways when you talk about posting up or getting to the basket or shooting the three or shooting the little stepback. “It’s really cool to watch and it just shows the focus that he has right now. He’s carrying the team and putting the team in a position to win.” (CNN)

Super Bowl champion Sam Shields regrets playing in NFL due to concussions FORMER Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields has said he regrets playing in the NFL, pointing to the effects concussions and head injuries had on his career and his later life. Having played seven seasons with the Packers, Shields missed almost 14 months with concussions between 2016 and 2017, returning to the field for one final season in 2018 with the Los Angeles Rams before retiring. But, in a frank interview with Dan Le Batard in the ‘South Beach Sessions’ podcast, the 34-year-old Shields described his head being “all mushed together with the concussions.” He added that he still suffers

with headaches, a lack of appetite and sleep issues as a result of the concussions – and the cutthroat nature of the NFL.

“Once you’re in that NFL, 100% of the responsibility’s on you. So you got to take risks because you got to take care of your family,”

said Shields. “When you’re done with football, everybody forgets about you. Family, friends. I have one friend. In football, I had 10. “Right now, I’ve I got one where I know that that’s my friend. That I could really say: ‘You’re my friend.’ I don’t even talk to most of my family members. Once football was over, everybody was over with me.” In a Players Tribune article that Shields wrote in 2018, he outlined some of the symptoms he experienced, which attributed to the concussions he suffered. “It was three o’clock in the morning on some night in January 2017,” he wrote. “I forget which one. I’d had a lot of bad nights

around that time, but this one was the worst. “I couldn’t sleep. It felt like my brain was cramping, or like it was trying to break out of my skull or something. “I was rolling around in my bed, whipping my body back and forth, trying to escape the pounding inside my head. Next thing I know, I’m curled up in the fetal position, shaking and crying.” Shields outlined that he was out unavailable to play while with the Packers for almost two years due to being in the concussion protocol. And he questioned the support he received from the organization in rehabilitating him with his head injuries.

GK Foods won the toss and opted to field. This proved the

wrong call as openers Henry and Misick took control of the game. Both players took a few balls to bat themselves in, but when they did, they were able to play their strokes. Misick, a local attorney, who learned the game in England, played a more supportive role, but he put away the bad balls for a score of 38 (6X4s). Henry on the other hand, a member of the TCI

Ritchie said that it was rewarding to see the home team in action against the former runnersup of the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championships. “The performance was one which the players, coaching staff and the country can be proud of.” He added that to be able to compete against a country that has a huge population and more resources was “a major accomplishment”. TCI went down to Canada on Friday night, but the home team players were able to battle back from 0-3. After Peter Christidis, Andre Goyo and Christian Moraldo had scored in the first and early second periods, TCI’s Herby Magny was able to pull one back six minutes into the second. Christidis scored again before Billy Forbes made it 2-4. Canada went up again through Milos Scepanovic, but Jepthe Francois late in the second period and Makenson Cadet in the third gave TCI hope, but Christidis completed his hat-trick and Scepanovic, his brace. Late in the third, Forbes also pulled one back for the home team as the game ended 7-5 in favour of the visitors.

The National team won the second clash and kept the other two games close.
