He is so right and is showing that he has more of a clue on the crime-fighting message than the troika aided by what appears to
The recent spate of crimes and murders in broad daylight, caught the Premier, the Governor, Commissioner of Police (the “troika”) off guard, on their heels and totally unprepared for the reality of what took place in Five Cays. It is alleged that gunmen were literally “walking the streets”, sending messages to the police, ‘do not come here, this is not your fight’.
of cash, lands, and hospital contracts are at issue. This feeling filters down into the general community and the “fellas” feel that the land is theirs. They can take and do what they want. There is also a clueless feeling coming from the troika in question.
The Leader of the Opposition is sounding the right tone when he asks the most poignant question in response to the suggested gun amnesty, “Don’t they know that persons who give up guns are usually individuals who have no intentions of committing a crime? It appears that they are clueless when it comes to these matters.
A coherent crime-fighting policy should be the fruit of experience. One cannot expect much at all from the Police Commissioner. He cannot, it seems, design a policy during his tenure that would effectively combat the kind of criminal the TCI is facing.
Clueless response to spiralling crime
This crime wave couldn’t come at a worst time when the TCI is seeking to stabilise from the global inflationary crisis, build reserves and grow the economy. This kind of crime threatens all of that and could kill the notion that the TCI is a place to visit and to invest in. The policy intervention of the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon Edwin
Astwood comes at a critical time. It shows that there is someone in the policymaking sphere and space of the TCI with a clue about these issues. Ironically, it comes from one man in the official opposition. A word to the “wise”, if any could be found, it took one Boy, the future King David, in the Old Testament, with a little sling to kill the giant Goliath and give his armies chase.

A Weekly News column that puts you on the spot for your opinions on the issues of the day
Reacting to the proposals of installing more streetlights, and yet another ineffective gun amnesty, to curb the rapid increase of crime in Providenciales, the Leader of the Opposition did not hold back his criticisms of the government last week. “We heard Premier Misick and his team, in no exact words, tell the vast majority of responsible, hardworking residents of Five Cays, ‘You’re on your own. I heard nothing that would make the residents of Five Cays feel safer in their homes at night. Additionally, I heard nothing that would make our people in Five Cays feel safer during the daytime. This is unacceptable to the people, they need to hear about containment and preventative measures that will be put into action immediately.” Astwood scathingly criticised the Premier’s contention that drugs are responsible for the surging gun violence in the islands, and the Five Cays elected representative promising streetlights and weeded bushes to help cut back on crime within the community. “Is that the best the Premier and his team can come up with? He asked. “Do they know that many incidents of crime happen in the daylight, and in places where there are little to no bushes? What are your thoughts?
When it comes to crime, it seems that it pays. There is already a deep feeling and “desire” that ministers on the SIPT trial run will get off, although billions of dollars
Either you want to be shot, God forbid, or you don’t want to catch them. Nonetheless, nothing could be less than a coherent or common sense law Enforcement Policy. The leader of the Opposition retains a valid point. The Premier needs to sit with His Leader of the Opposition and consult on these issues.
It is really an assessment and a reaction to the state of law enforcement in the TCI. The gunmen, “boys in the hood” already know crime-fighting capabilities and enforcement methods in the TCI are not effective and “do not work”. It begs the question- “is the TCI a lawless society?”
be now, a very hapless, National Security Council (the “NSC”). The so-called Gun Amnesty does not make any sense. 30 days to surrender guns? What about immediately or in the next 24 hours? Why enter these crime areas and let the gangs know you are coming, Mr Commissioner of Police, Premier and Governor?
The absence of a crime-fighting policy on the part of this PNP Administration is clearly evident. As a former police officer, the Premier, who walked the beat as a youth, should have more to Offer.
This entire debacle down in Five Cays begs the question, “Do they know what they are doing?” In response to what appears to be a hopeless situation, spiralling crime, out of control violence, the Leader of the Opposition questions the vision or lack thereof, of the Government’s Crime and law enforcement policy. He says, "They will not offer a better vision or a new set of ideas. To date, the country does not know anything about the current PNP Administration’s crime prevention plan. Do they have one? “These are clear, coherent and prescient questions.

The moral of the narrative is that one man, with the right thinking, the right ideas, would make a world of difference in difficult times. Given what is taking place in the TCI, the unfolding crime situation, we could use a David with a sling right now.
It is not possible to make criticisms and attacks of this nature without citing valid solutions. Leader of the Opposition, the Hon Astwood is proposing that he will, upon taking office, lay out a five-point plan, and outline several legislative changes that will strengthen laws to deal with criminals who engage in gun violence. Further, "A PDM government, under my leadership, would immediately pass a Supplementary Bill through the House of Assembly for 15 million dollars to: hire past local police officers and attain the services of gang violence specialist officers from around the region and

"No self-proclaimed criminal would give up all their weapons, and let their socalled enemies or competitors have all the firepower. That does not make any sense to me, and I don’t think it would make any sense to them, and we should never underestimate those individuals who engage in criminal activities.”
Make any firearms or ammunition possession charges non-bailable. Anyone so charged will be held in custody until they appear for trial, instead of being loose on the streets to cause even more danger and harm.
If you don’t, be prepared for further sh*tstorms. It really is up to you.

The Leader of the Opposition is absolutely correct in this instance!
“We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter”, the company stated.
Let the churches step in and provide moral guidance to the youth. There needs to be a counterpoint and a counteroffensive to the social media attacks on the morals of TCI youths. Churches must stand their ground and fill the gap. Gatherings like these add to the substance of the leadership of the leader of the Opposition and could inform policy at the government and National Security Council levels. Afterschool programmes, computer studies, homework, vocational training etc. are all needed. Focus minds on productivity and industry. Efforts must be taken to remove that feeling and reality of hopelessness from "disaffected and at-risk youth". This is part of the problem.
Political because government after government since 1976 have yet to devise a long-term plan to weed out this kind of anti-social behaviour. The Department of Social Services needs to take note of these trends. There needs to be a system in the schools where behaviours of children at risk should be monitored and addressed. Children from broken homes are likely to rebel, abandon scholarships and take on a life of crime, criminal gangs, and groupings, which provide a sense of “home”, “family” and belonging.
“All reports of burst pipes and leaks will be investigated immediately to stop and prevent water wastage. Repairs and reinstatement of service will resume the following morning.
It does not appear that the crime wave is abating any. The “at risk” youth need counselling from primary school level thru to high school. Services such as after-school care, Homework, etc., while parents must work. Between the hours of 3 PM and 7 PM, some parents must work. So, there must be something to fill that gap. That is leadership, guidance, counselling and care. This is part of the missing link for this generation.
If the police fail to control gun ownership things are going to become a lot worse. They need professional help and they must know that. This challenge sits with the Governor. Is he tough enough?

It is not yet reported that any of the suspects in the Five Cay’s incident were ever apprehended. The crime scene that day marked a totally broken down social, political and economic situation.
Guns on the streets of the TCI? Unheard of. There is a moral chasm in the region. Something has gone wrong. Providenciales is small. Shut down the entrances to Five Cays, Blue Hills and the Bight. Place security screening devices at every stop. Let no car, vehicle or truck or person through unless stopped, checked and searched. Treat the streets like the airport. Nothing in and nothing out unless you are searched—head to toe.
Make it an offence to be found in possession of a firearm or ammunition without the legal authority to possess it in that place. Possession alone is the offence, with no mitigating circumstances being entertained, so the arrest and charging process should be very straightforward and should be such that witnesses from the community need not testify in such cases.
Quite naturally the youth opt for these groupings as they are cultured by social media, and films which show crime as the “thing to be”. There is also the loss of “natural affection” so life and limb mean “nothing” to them.

After a deadly start to the month of September, the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is once again calling on persons to turn in their illegal guns and ammunition.
“The request would be for a government stamp to be placed in the accompanying individual’s passport, allowing them to be legal in the country and able to provide the special services required by the contract worker. The contract worker was never allowed to apply on their own,” he stated.
In the meantime, the Police Force continues to appeal to the public to surrender their illegal weapons, despite these appeals falling on deaf ears in the past.

Recently police officers have been the target of criminals with guns. During a police exercise in Dockyard last week, criminals opened fire on officers conducting searches of several houses in the Downtown community.
Work permits have for many years been a major revenue earner for the government, and despite protests by native Islanders and Belongers that the skills are in the country, this remains the case today.
The matter was highlighted by Lightbourne in a widely shared audio message, in which he stated that he witnessed a foreign doctor who is employed on a work permit, illegally applying for a work clearance for someone else with the aid of high-ranking officials at the hospital and another from a high-ranking person from an unnamed government department.

The Admiral’s Arms Hotel in South Caicos was also one of the first hotels in the TCI. South Caicos was also the home of the fishing industry and one of the first islands to have electricity.

employers, but work they offer is seasonal and not regular. To be fair, the District Administration tries its best always to employ local petty contractors, who handle small repair and clean up jobs around the island; these jobs are allocated to locals on a rotating basis, however these efforts, well-meaning as they may be, of course do not generate, permanent, long-term employment.
One more pitch for Salt Cay. Titus meets with Deputy Premier, Hon. E. Jay Saunders on 13 September
Words matter. And yes, facts matter. So, in this week’s column we will look at numbers. Salt Cay numbers. When I first moved to Salt Cay in 2016, I was informed that the permanent population of the island, in other words, not considering the seasonal ‘winter residents’, was 72. Four years on, when we conducted a head count during the pandemic, that number had shrunk to just under 60. When, a few weeks ago, a list was published of the Salt Cay recipients of government stimulus cheques, it featured a total of 41 Turks and Caicos Islander Status Card holders and/or British Overseas Territory Citizens. And while there may currently be a handful of work permit holders on the island, who will not have made it onto the list, it would surprise me if the total number of persons permanently residing on Salt Cay is, even now, more than 50. At closer inspection the numbers reveal, additionally, a snapshot of the island’s population that is neither deniable nor encouraging, as far as both its people’s future and potential economic prosperity areOfconcerned.the41citizens, 27 are male and 14 females, in other words a 66/34% split between the sexes. And while this is perhaps not all that noteworthy, when it comes to the age of this population, it is a simple fact that Salt Cay is an island with an increasingly ageing population. Of the 41 citizens, one is in their 20s, six are in their 30s,

And yet, for once, I sincerely think that Salt Cay might just pull this one off. Having had a glimpse of the proposed development, this one is definitely an ideal ‘fit’, for not only does it adhere 100% to the strategy of the National Physical Development Plan, but it takes into account not only the needs and desires of high-end visitors but also the island population, with island infrastructure and restoration projects such as a waste management facility, a green energy plant, a wastewater treatment plant, with historical area restorations forming a key part of the proposed development. So yes, the situation on Salt Cay is dire and time is NOT on our side, but if we are bold enough, roar loud enough, we can - we will prevail!

While many African leaders have mourned her passing – including Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, who described her reign as “unique and wonderful” – other prominent voices in regional politics have not.
‘TRAGIC PERIOD’
“I cannot mourn,” one wrote on Twitter, posting an image of what she said was her grandmother’s “movement pass” – a colonial document which prevented free travel for Kenyans under British rule in the east African country.

Another wrote that her grandmother “used to narrate to us how they were beaten & how their husbands were taken away from them & left to look after their kids,” during colonial times. “May we never forget them. They are our heroes,” she added.
Their refusal to mourn highlights the complexity of the legacy of the Queen, who despite widespread popularity was also seen as a symbol of oppression in parts of the world where the British Empire once extended.
Kenya, which had been under British rule since 1895, was named an official colony in 1920 and remained that way until it won independence in 1963. Among the worst atrocities under British rule occurred during the Mau Mau uprising, which started in 1952 –the year Queen Elizabeth took the throne.The colonial administration at the time carried out extreme acts of torture, including castration and sexual assault, in detainment camps where as many as 150,000 Kenyans were held. Elderly Kenyans who sued for compensation in 2011 were ultimately awarded £19.9 million by a British court, to be split between more than 5,000 claimants.TheUK Foreign Secretary at the time, William Hague, said: “The British Government recognises that Kenyans were subject to torture and other forms of ill treatment at the hands of the
THE death of Queen Elizabeth II has prompted an outpouring of reflection and reaction online. But not all was grief – some young Africans instead are sharing images and stories of their own elders, who endured a brutal period of British colonial history during the Queen’s long reign.
Queen Elizabeth II inspects men of the newly-renamed Queen’s Own Nigeria Regiment, Royal West African Frontier Force, at Kaduna Airport, Nigeria, during her Commonwealth Tour, on February 2, 1956.
“We do not mourn the death of Elizabeth, because to us her death is a reminder of a very tragic period in this country and Africa’s history,” the EFF said in a statement.“Ourinteraction with Britain has been one of pain, … death and dispossession, and of the dehumanisation of the African people,” it added.
Others recalled Britain’s role in the Nigerian civil war, where arms were secretly supplied to the government for use against Biafrans who wanted to form a breakaway republic.

For generations, the Crown and British traders made fortunes in Jamaica trading sugar, cacao, indigo and, of course, slaves through Kingston’s vast natural harbour. By the 19th Century, it had become one of the principal ports in the western hemisphere.

The ties to the monarchy in Jamaica run deep, ingrained into the island’s politics, history, institutions and constitution. And while attitudes over allegiance or being considered “loyal subjects” may be changing, the Queen was always regarded with affection by Jamaicans.
As he reminisces about bringing reggae to the Royal Albert Hall and meeting members of the royal household, he sees a clear generational divide over these questions.“Theone thing I know about the Royal Family is that they cherish tradition,” he says. “But younger Jamaicans now want to have their own independence because they don’t feel like we are truly independent while we still have (the monarch) as the head of state.”
On a trip beset with poor optics - Prince William wearing a white military uniform in the same Land Rover his grandmother had used decades earlier, or Catherine clasping the hands of black children through a chain fence - the prime minister delivered a stark message: Jamaicans, he essentially warned the heir to the throne, wish to break with their colonial past and follow Barbados’s lead in becoming a republic.With recent polls suggesting more than 50% of Jamaicans now support the idea, Queen Elizabeth II’s death may have accelerated that“Theprocess.conversation starts again.

many cases, they resemble him too. Of the new candidates that Mr Trump endorsed, who were not incumbents, roughly 80% were Caucasian and 70% were male. And, like Mr Trump when he first ran for president, many (53%) were political neophytes, who had never held office before. The rookies ranged from celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, to former college football player Bo Hines, just 26 years old and now the Republican nominee from North Carolina’s 13th congressional district.Loyalty was key in securing an endorsement. The majority of candidates promoted, in some way, Mr Trump’s unfounded claim that he won the 2020 presidential election. Many Trump-backed
THE European Union is considering its next steps after the UK responded to its latest legal action over the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Back when he was still in the White House, he wrote on Twitter: “As long as I campaign and/or support Senate and House candidates (within reason), they willInwin!”thisprimary season, he hasn’t been far off.
“It’s extraordinary, because most ex-presidents walk away,” said Charles Coughlin, a Republican party operative. “That’s not what he’sAsdoing.”theprimary season draws to a close, here’s a look at Mr Trump’s full endorsement record - who he supported, how they did, and the races he couldn’t swing.
spokesman Daniel Ferrie said: “I can confirm we have received a reply from the UK. We will now analyse the reply before deciding on the next steps.”
The protocol in effect keeps Northern Ireland in the EU’s single market for goods after Brexit, to avoid a new hard border with the IrishTheRepublic.EUhas accused the UK of failing to properly implement it.
In many ways, Mr Trump’s endorsements seemed to be less about providing support than a personal mission to banish his critics from office.
From his home in Palm Beach, Florida, the self-proclaimed “king” of endorsements has weighed in on almost 200 races, backing Republican candidates running for the US Senate, House or state governor in 39 out of 50 states. It’s an unusually high number - during the 2018 midterms, he backed just under 90 candidates for those same positions, according to Ballotpedia. That same year, former President Barack Obama endorsed 94 candidates.
The election will see voters decide who gets to sit in Congress, as well as hold key positions in their home state. And come November, it’s Mr Trump’s picks who will be representing the Republican Party on ballots across the US.

a smart strategy to run the numbers up,” said Whit Ayres, a longtime Republican strategist.
Unionist politicians have condemned what they regard as the imposition of a trade border in the IrishNorthernSea. Ireland’s devolved executive has been suspended since February 2022, and the largest unionist party, the DUP, has refused to resume sharing power with nationalists until the protocol is significantly reformed.
The protocol was part of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, agreed between the UK and the EU in December 2019.

important caveat: many of these races were a sure thing from the start.
The Commission could refer the case to the European Court of Justice, but its initial reaction is expected to be muted following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
In open seats, where there is no incumbent either because of retirement or redistricting, a Trump-backed candidate won 83% of the time. And in races where the winner would face off against a Democratic incumbent in November, his pick won 100% of theMrtime.Coughlin said the former president views “every candidate as a proxy for himself”. Their wins reflect back on him, and in
“His endorsement is really more of a threat to people: ‘You better stick by me, you better defend me, or I’ll work against you,’” said Cheri Jacobus, a longtime Republican insider who left the party when Donald Trump became its nominee in 2016. “It’s used as a weapon.”Nocandidates were more aggressively targeted than the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr Trump for his role in the 6 January Capitol riots. Of the six who ran for re-election this year, just two prevailed: Representative Dan Newhouse in Washington state, and Representative David Valadao of ButCalifornia.going after people in his own party doesn’t always pan out.

US midterms 2022: Tracking Trump’s ‘extraordinary’ endorsement spree
Over the past several months, candidates endorsed by Mr Trump have pocketed victories across the country, winning 92% of the time.
Special trading arrangements were required for Northern Ireland
Some 54 (nearly one-quarter) of Mr Trump’s candidates ran unopposed.Andhis record was boosted further by supporting a large majority (74%) of incumbents - tried and true candidates with Republican bonafides who had won their seats in the last election and were running for office again. In fact, only a single Trump-endorsed incumbent lost: the scandal-ridden Madison Cawthorne, who served two years as a House representative from North Carolina.
“The endorsements make him the most prominent figure in the Republican party,” he added. “And it increases his influence when Republicans are constantly asking for his endorsement.”

Patagonia: Billionaire boss gives fashion firm away to fight climate change
Woman arrested in connection with alleged murder of two children found in suitcases
The state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday is likely to be one of the biggest single events staged in Britain since World War Two.
The billionaire founder of the outdoor fashion brand Patagonia has given away his company to a charitable trust.
Yvon Chouinard said any profit not reinvested in running the business would go to fighting climate change.
The woman, who has not been identified, was arrested in early hours of Thursday local time in the southeastern city of Ulsan, South Korea.
The Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, said organising the event was “both humbling and daunting” but the solemnity of the last few days of mourning and the constitutional process was the “envy of the world”.
The woman, who has not been identified, was arrested in early hours of Thursday local time in the southeastern city of Ulsan, a South Korean police official told CNN.
The police official confirmed that the arrested woman is the same woman believed to be the children’s mother, according to earlier police reports, who arrived in South Korea several years ago and had not departed the country
The label has amassed a cult following due to sustainability moves like guaranteeing its clothes for life and offering reasonably priced repairs.
The firm’s marketing campaigns - focused around asking people to buy only what they need - have not dampened sales and critics have argued by raising its prominence it has encouraged more spending rather than less. Prices are relatively high with jumpers, for example, costing around £200 and T-shirts around £40, but the company argues the cost reflects the fact its clothes are meant to be last a lifetime.
The order of service is expected to reflect more of the Queen’s personal choices for the funeral.
A 42-year-old woman believed to be the mother of two children whose remains were found in suitcases bought from a storage facility in New Zealand has been arrested in connection with their alleged murders.

It has been "extraordinary" to see how people have turned to the lovable brown bear for comfort as they have mourned the Queen, according to Karen Jankel, daughter of Paddington creator Michael Bond.
Lamont revealed that they gave her certain cues. "You do write reaction lines in scripts. You write things like, 'Her Majesty looks surprised', or, 'Her Majesty smiles warmly'."ButI don't think any of us could truly have anticipated the level to which she absolutely smashed it."
It "wasn't an easy task" for her to act opposite a character who was not there, only being inserted later using computer-generated animation, Cottrell-Boyce added.
Paddington was not previously closely associated with the Queen, but that changed three months ago, when Buckingham Palace came up with an idea to film her acting opposite the Peruvian bear to launch her televised Jubilee concert.
That picture has now also become a familiar sight among the tributes. "It's one thing to see something online and being shared and the lovely comments, but to see it in that kind of setting, among a sea of flowers and tributes, is just something else completely," Tomlinson told BBC Look North.
"That was the final image of the Queen for many people - that's what they remember, and so they associate her with Paddington."
"I'm not really an emotional person, but I was very teary looking at the However,photos."striking such a chord has presented problems. Tomlinson posted a message on Twitter on Monday saying she was "saddened and frankly disgusted" by the "artwork theft of my illustrations that has been occurring since June" by people selling copies without her permission.
herIthealth.was written by some of the people who worked on the Paddington films. "We knew Paddington and the Queen stood for, and still do stand for, certain similar values - the idea that, be kind and polite and the world will be right," co-writer James Lamont recently told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Paddington and the Queen.
That sketch showed the Queen offering her customary goodhumoured hospitality to the clumsy bear, and pulling a marmalade sandwich out of her handbag.
"We also thought there was some inherent comedy in the idea of Paddington, who we know is a bit of a klutz and a bit of a bull in a china shop at times - putting him in Buckingham Palace in front of the Queen, where etiquette and behaviour are obviously paramount."
"In those script meetings, I was very adamant that we shouldn't end with her tapping the cup," he admitted."Ithought, 'she will never pull that off, it's too much to ask'. And she pulled it off brilliantly. It was amazing. She's absolutely glowing in that moment, isn't she?"
After the Jubilee, artist Eleanor Tomlinson painted an image of the Queen and Paddington walking together hand-in-hand, which quickly went viral on social media.
Paddington author Bond would have been "overwhelmed" and "humbled" by this unexpected new link between his most famous character and the Queen, his daughter"Paddingtonsaid. was his creation, and to think that now people all around the world are associating [him with] what is a terribly sad occasion. But actually, that introduction of Paddington has lifted everybody's spirits, and I think that would have pleased him." (BBC)
It was a reassuring appearance from the smiling monarch despite the fact she could not attend the main live event itself because of

"It just felt very natural that those two people could share a space together. They would both welcome each other, because they're both cut from the same cloth.
"One of the last times most of us saw the Queen close up was when she did that marvellous sketch during the Jubilee celebrations," Ms Jankel told the BBC's Colin Paterson.
Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who worked on both the Queen's appearance with James Bond for the London Olympic Games opening ceremony in 2012 and the Paddington sketch, said the monarch put in "a brilliantly-timed comic"Whatperformance".anastute idea it was to have her act with Paddington, because Paddington embodies so many of the values that she stood for," he told BBC Breakfast.
"And they're not values that are uncontested at the moment, so it was not purely a cute thing to do. It was significant, I think, and that's why it's resonated so much."
The Queen mascotanaPaddington:andHowbearbecameunlikelyroyal
Paddington teddies and marmalade sandwiches have been placed among the tributes - so many, in fact, that the Royal Parks have asked mourners not to leave anyArtisticmore.
PADDINGTON has been popping up everywhere among the tributes to the Queen, from toys in the carpets of flowers, to films appearing in TV schedules. It all stems from a sketch during the Platinum Jubilee, when the monarch and the bear made an unlikely but heartwarming pair.
'ABSOLUTELYSMASHEDIT'
"If somebody told me a year ago that the Queen was sadly going to die, and when she did, that Paddington would be a very large part of it, I would be utterly amazed."
illustrations of Paddington have become tributes too, while the BBC has decided to broadcast the Paddington film on Saturday instead of the Strictly Come Dancing launch programme, with its sequel scheduled to follow coverage of the funeral on Monday.
The sketch culminated with the pair tapping their teacups in time to the famous rhythm of pop band Queen's We Will Rock You, as the group opened the concert in front of Buckingham Palace.
'LIFTED SPIRITS'EVERYBODY'S
"Paddington is all about kindness, toleration, being kind to strangers, politeness - these things that are about character. And those are values that she's embodied throughout her life.

Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States have approved vaccines that target the Omicron variant as well as the original virus as countries prepare to launch winter booster campaigns.
In the United States, COVID-19 was initially declared a public health emergency in January 2020, and that status has been renewed quarterly ever since.
The virus, which emerged in China in late 2019, has killed nearly 6.5 million people and infected 606 million, roiling global economies and overwhelming healthcare systems.Therollout of vaccines and therapies have helped to stem deaths and hospitalisations, and the Omicron variant which emerged late last year causes less severe disease.

RESEARCHERS say they have cracked how air pollution leads to cancer, in a discovery that completely transforms our understanding of how tumours arise.The team at the Francis Crick Institute in London showed that rather than causing damage, air pollution was waking up old damaged cells.
idea. The damage is already there in our cell’s DNA, picked up as we grow and age, but something needs to pull the trigger that actually makes it cancerous.
The findings could explain how hundreds of cancer-causing substances act on the body.
Doctors have already trialled an interleukin-1-beta drug in cardiovascular disease and found, by complete accident, they cut the risk of lung cancer.
The idea of taking a cancerblocking pill if you live in a heavily polluted area is not completely fanciful.
SO WHAT IS GOING ON?
“To give them some clues about how this might work is really, really important,” she said.
This causes inflammation and activates cells in the lungs to help repair any damage
able to stop cancers forming in mice exposed to air pollution by using a drug that blocks the alarm signal.The results are a double breakthrough, both for understanding the impact of air pollution and the fundamentals of how we get cancer.
One of the world’s leading experts, Prof Charles Swanton, said the breakthrough marked a “newAndera”.itmay now be possible to develop drugs that stop cancers forming.
The discovery came from exploring why non-smokers get lung cancer. The overwhelming majority of lung cancers are caused by smoking but still, one in 10 cases in the UK is down to air pollution.TheCrick scientists focused on a form of pollution called particulate matter 2.5 (known as PM2.5), which is far smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Prof Swanton said this was the most exciting finding his lab had come across, as it “actually rethinks our understanding of how tumours are initiated”. He said it would lead to a “new era” of molecular cancer prevention.
Science & Technology
“Our findings of predictive immune and lipid biomarkers collected at two months of age will help identify children at highest risk of atopic eczema using a noninvasive and painless method, so future preventive strategies can target these children only and prevent cases of this common disease that so many children are suffering from.”
“It is also at this age we were able to identify both immune and lipid biomarkers that predicted the development of atopic eczema.
Andrew Proctor, Chief Executive of the National Eczema Society, said: “This exciting study to identify additional biomarkers adds to our understanding of eczema and opens up new possibilities for preventing the condition developing.
Speaking to the BBC from the conference, Prof Swanton said: “Pollution is a lovely example, but there are going to be 200 other examples of this over the next 10 years.”And he said we needed to rethink how even smoking causes cancer - is it just the known DNA damage caused by the chemicals in tobacco or is the smoke causing inflammation, too?
Through a series of detailed human and animal experiments theyPlacesshowed:with higher levels of air pollution had more lung cancers not caused by smoking
The findings could lead to a rethink in how cancers form.
Dr Emilia Lim, one of the researchers who is based at the Crick and UCL, said people who had never smoked but developed lung cancer often had no idea why.
The team - from the University of Copenhagen - used it on a group of two-month-olds to painlessly collect and then examine skin cell samples.They found detectable immune biomarker changes in the cells that were linked with future eczema risk.
“This will be welcomed by so many parents and children who suffer severely from this debilitating condition. It is fantastic the researchers were able to use tape strips to gather skin cells for the study, which are non-invasive and easier for patients than some otherProfapproaches.”CarstenFlohr of the British Association of Dermatologists said: “While more research needs to be done, it’s possible that with the right advice, parents of at-risk infants could take steps to treat the condition early to minimise its severity when it does occur and, in some cases, even prevent their children from developing the condition in the first place.” (BBC)

“It’s super-important - 99% of people in the world live in places where air pollution exceeds the WHO guidelines so it really impacts all of us.”
Curiously, the idea that mutated DNA is not enough and cancers need another trigger to grow was first proposed by scientist Isaac Berenblum in “Philosophically,1947. it’s fascinating. These incredible biologists have done this work 75 years ago and it’s largely been ignored,” said Dr Lim. Michelle Mitchell, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, stressed that “smoking remains the biggest cause of lung cancer”. But she added: “Science, which takes years of painstaking work, is changing our thinking around how cancer develops. We now have a much better understanding of the driving forces behind lung cancer.” (BBC)

“Our central conclusion is that we should go full speed ahead with the green energy transition because it’s going to save us money,” he said.

The data for fossil fuels goes from 2020 back more than 100 years and shows that after accounting for inflation, and market volatility, the price hasn’t changed much.

The report’s expectation that the price of renewables will continue to fall is based on “probabilistic” modelling, using data on how massive investment and economies of scale have made other similar technologies cheaper.
“Notably, we detected an association between incidental steps (steps taken to go about daily life) and a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease,” noted study coauthor Borja del Pozo Cruz, an adjunct associate professor at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark, and senior researcher in health sciences for the University of Cadiz in Spain.

“By and large, I think the study is well done and it certainly continues to add to the foundation of knowledge that tells us exercise is good stuff,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado. He was not involved in the research.
WALKING DEMENTIAHELPSTOO
Del Pozo Cruz and his team recently published a similar study that found walking 10,000 steps a day lowered risk for dementia by 50%. Risk decreased by 25% with as few as 3,800 steps a day, according to the previous study.
However, if walking occurred at a brisk pace of 112 steps a minute for 30 minutes, it maximized risk reduction, leading to a 62% reduction in dementia risk. The 30 minutes of fast-paced walking didn’t have to occur all at once, either – it could be spread out over the“Ourday. take is that intensity of stepping matters – over and above volume,” said del Pozo Cruz via email.The new study, published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, followed 78,500 people between the ages of 40 and 79 from England, Scotland and Wales who wore wrist step counters for 24 hours a day over a seven day stretch.
Health benefits peaked at 10,000 steps.
What’s the takeaway? You don’t have to fixate on the numbers of steps (unless you really want to), Freeman said.
“Does every step count? Absolutely. And we know that brisk walking each day brings on extra benefits in terms of blood pressure reduction and cardiovascular training and so forth,” said Freeman, who was the founding chair of the American College of Cardiology’s Nutrition & Lifestyle workgroup.

It also says predictions by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that the cost of keeping global temperatures rises under 2 degrees would correspond to a loss of GDP by 2050 were too pessimistic.

PUT on your walking shoes and don’t forget your step counter: You can reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease and early death by getting up to 10,000 steps a day, but any amount of walking helps, according to a new study.
Health benefits rose with every step, the study found, but peaked at 10,000 steps – after that the effects faded. Counting steps may be especially important for people who do unstructured, unplanned physical activity such as house work, gardening and dog walks.
