GOVERNMENT offi cials along with members of the wider political commu nity gathered at the Senate on Friday to sign the book of condolences in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.Among those who par ticipated in Friday’s signing were Prime Minister Phil lip “Brave” Davis, Social Services Minister Obie Wilchcombe, Former Prime Ministers Hubert Ingra ham, Perry Christie and Dr Hubert Minnis, Free National Movement Leader Michael Pintard and others.
He spoke briefly with King Charles last year at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, about the envi ronmental threat and the challenges small island developing states like The Bahamas faced in access ing funding to assist with climate change mitigation efforts.On Friday, Mr Davis replied: “Certainly.”
“Her long life of 96 years, 70 of which was in the service of our country as Queen and head of state has to be marked and as a monarch, recognising that she’s our Queen, these are things that protocol dic tate that we do so we have a book of memorial to be signed by leaders of our country,” he said.
Given King Charles’ well known reputation of being an environmentalist, Prime Minister Davis was asked whether he was excited
It is expected that Mr Davis and other officials will travel to London to attend the Queen’s funeral.
Asked what’s next for the country once the mourning period ends, Mr Davis said the next step will be to wel come King Charles III.

He has repeatedly called for multilateral organisa tions to forgive those debts of small countries that are related to climate change, noting the consequences of natural disasters.
“I think that it’s going to happen just a matter of time,” Mr Wilchcombe added.“Ithink what you’re going to see is the next ses sions of CARICOM (and) CARICOM will be held in The Bahamas next year as well, you’re going to see Commonwealth meetings and you’re going to see the focus because the voice is louder now today than it wasCallsbefore.”forreparations from Britain along with the mon arch’s removal as head of state have reignited in some

FORMER Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham read a proclamation in Parliament Square yesterday on behalf of Governor General Sir Cornelius Smith proclaiming King Charles III as the country’s new monarch.“Ourlate sovereign, Queen Eliz abeth II died on the eighth day of September 2022 and by whose death the Crown of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas now is solely and rightfully comes to Prince Charles Philip Arthur George,” Mr Ingra ham, who serves as a senior member of the Privy Council, said.
There was also a 21-gun salute.
“Now, therefore, I, Sir Cornelius Smith, governor general of the Com monwealth of The Bahamas, along with the president and members of the Senate, the Speaker and mem bers of the House of Assembly and the members of the late majesty’s Privy Council in the realm of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, with one voice and consent, pub lish and proclaim that King Charles III by the death of our sovereign Queen Elizabeth II, is now formally proclaimed sovereign of the Com monwealth of The Bahamas.
When asked about his thoughts on the matter, Mr Wilchcombe said he agreed.
In view of King Charles’ recent comments, some believe that his accession to the throne creates an opportunity for Caribbean leaders to advance discus sions on reparations.

He also noted that the topic will probably be highlighted at the next CARICOM meeting.

“Three cheers for His Majesty, the King,” Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander said during the ceremony before leading Royal Bahamas Police Force officers into a cheer.
He told reporters: “I have no comment to make about what The Bahamas might do in the future. I am quite comfortable as I am now and if the government of The Bahamas choose to do something else, it’s entirely up to them but I am not an advocate for any changes. I like it as it is now.”For his part, Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard said he would support national con versation on the matter and believes the country should develop a white paper on what the move could mean forThereus. has not been a strong push here for The Bahamas to become a republic, however some prominent figures have

Asked if having a refer endum was on the table, the prime minister replied that it was.“For me, it always is but again it is our people who will have to decide,” he added.Before her death on Thursday, Queen Elizabeth was recognised as the coun try’s head of state. That title now goes to her son, King Charles III, who succeeded her.However, her death — which signals the end of an era — has reignited discus sion about the country’s readiness towards becom ing a republic and removing the British monarch as head of Weighingstate. in on the matter Friday, Social Services Min ister Obie Wilchcombe told reporters he didn’t find it surprising that many are now debating the issue, especially when considering how much the country has grown.And with the country set to celebrate its 50th year of independence next year, the minister suggested that it was perhaps time for The Bahamas to start thinking about the way forward.
saying the matter was not seriously considered during his time in office.
SOCIAL Services Min ister Obie Wilchcombe says he believes Caribbean countries should seek repa rations, noting that many who contributed to Brit ain’s economic growth have still not been recognised to date.“Yeah, we must,” Mr Wilchcombe said on Friday when asked his views on seeking“Whenreparations.youthink about it, many contributed and many were a part, were defending the Union Jack and they gave their lives and many have lived in the UK since and have been there and still have not been given the recognition they deserve, so, yes, the argument is reasonable, and the argument must be con sidered and I think that we have made progress.”
The committee is chaired by Dr Niambi Hall Camp bell-Dean. She met with Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell in February to update him on its work. Noting that reparations are important for the coun try, Mr Mitchell said he was looking forward to the committee’s work in the future.

“There were cases where people were paying rent to the original recipients which was certainly unethi cal, if not illegal. One dome was being used as a sex brothel, by a group of for eign nationals engaged in prostitution. One was being used as an illegal bar.”

Commonwealth realms the envy of the world. Investors like safe places in which to place their funds. The track record of republics controlled by politicians is very poor. Another failed third world republic should not be the future of The Bahamas. Let us now give our support to our new King Charles III who is well trained for his new role. His active interest in the envi ronment and other issues will assist Commonwealth countries as we move ahead. Let us also be proud of our heritage.
The opposition FNM should be gaining momen tum with all the mess that exists. Sadly, it is not.
Well, if that’s so, let the debate begin – but we start this referendum at a point with no positions outlined, no proposals put forward, and no one looking to lead theGivencharge.how previous referendum votes finished, that’s not a promising place to start.

GEORGE HITCHCOCK
The late Queen was by fate thrust on the throne shortly after her father, King George III died unex pectedly, and her uncle, King Edward, abdicated to marry “the love of his life”, Wallis Warfield Simpson. After his abdication, the former King was appointed Governor of The Bahamas. He served with distinction and was a strong proponent of “equal” rights for all Bahamians.Uponascending to the throne, Queen Elizabeth adopted a hectic and all inclusive schedule. She would have visited the associated countries within The Commonwealth of Nations on multiple occa sions during her 70 years reign, second only to that of the late Queen Victoria. She toured inner city areas in the UK; the independ ent nations therein and the remnants of colonies. She was a strong promoter of

WE ARE at nearly one year since the PLP was elected. Philip Davis has proven to be inad equate as a leader, as we expected.Undermy friend “Brave” there is no direction. The PLP has no plan to create jobs. They have no plan on crime. They are wasting the people’s money on extrav agant trips and bloated contracts and consultan cies to PLP supporters. The country is stuck in a rut at a time of high inflation around the world.
The FNM must do the work of finding the person most capable of uniting the party and the country. We must find the person capa ble of getting FNMs to return to the polls and vote for our great party. Our people did not show up a year ago. The PLP won the election nearly by default.

LEON E. H. DUPUCH,
So how have we reached a point where the Prime Minister has committed to a referendum on a major constitutional issue?Well, consider this – just last week, col umnist Alicia Wallace noted a comment from the Prime Minister with regard to the issue of marital rape. When asked if he would criminalise marital rape, Mr Davis said it was not included in the par ty’s Blueprint for Change. She noted this seemed to suggest it was not a priority – the party did not commit to it, so the administration would not commit to it.

Certainly, she never hindered any nation from replacing her as Head of State.

One of her known personal “friends” was the late great Nelson Mandela of South Africa where public racism once abounded.

None of this looks like coherent gov ernance. Mr Davis had said himself marital rape wasn’t on his government’s agenda – and the backlash to that com ment seemed to make it suddenly appear on the agenda, but not with any wholehearted commitment.

The recent thirtieth anni versary of our party’s 1992 victory brought back warm memories for me. We res cued The Bahamas from stagnation, corruption and backwardness.Wemade this country modern and prosperous. We can do it again.
So was Mr Davis simply trying to avoid that same kind of backlash? Was he saying that the administration is considering it simply to mollify any potential critics? Seemingly not – he didn’t say we may consider it, he didn’t say it was perhaps something to be done – he said he will have a referendum.
Pick up that same Blueprint for Change and search for the word “repub lic” and you won’t find it anywhere. Yet the same administration is now floating a referendum on an issue the party did not commit to.
OF THE DAY
SeptemberNassau, 11, 2022.
NOW that the late Queen Elizabeth 11, Monarch of The Common wealth of Nations, is dead and gone to her reward, I find it very disturbing hear ing and reading some of the comments being made by Bahamians and others around the world about her legacy. The woman is not even buried yet, but the uncomplimentary and gratuitous remarks have exposed our darker side.
Republic would not help Bahamas
Given the success rates of referendum votes in The Bahamas previously, that’s not an overwhelming wave of enthusi asm to present to the people.
THE news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II was only a day old before Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis floated the prospect of The Bahamas going without a monarch altogether.
He also said: “The only challenge with us moving to a republic is that I can’t, as much as I would wish to do it, I cannot do it without your consent.”

Asked if a referendum was on the table, he said: “For me, it always is but again it is our people who will have to decide.”That word always might not be entirely accurate. It was only in December last year that Mr Davis’ press secretary, Clint Watson, said that making The Bahamas a repub lic was not on the agenda of the Davis administration.Hesaid:“It’s not on our agenda right now. However, the Bahamian people can change that if they determine this is what they want to do. It would have to be something the Bahamian people request and put on the government’s agenda.”There doesn’t appear to have been a particular outcry to push the matter onto the agenda. No marches. No pro tests. The Bahamian people appear to have not been required after all for the Prime Minister’s administration to do an about-face.Sowhois championing the call for a republic? Well, Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell had previously lamented that he couldn’t seem to convince people of his desire for a republic. Obie Wilchcombe, the Social Services Minis ter, mustered enough determination to say perhaps we should think about the wayElsewhere,forward. former Prime Ministers Perry Christie and Hubert Ingraham were asked, with Mr Christie non-com mittal, and Mr Ingraham saying he likes The Bahamas the way it is now.

It gets more curious still. Look on today’s front page and you’ll find that on the issue of marital rape, Mr Wilch combe is touting draft legislation on the issue and is hoping for feedback “from all sides”, despite the legislation not yet being available to view, and despite Mr Wilchcombe last month having said he intended to meet church leaders on the issue. Now he says he’ll go to talk to them this Thursday.

The Bahamas has more pressing issues and social concerns confronting us right now rather than cussing out the late Queen and seek ing pie-in-the sky dreams. Going forward, no doubt our Prime Minister, the Hon Philip “Brave” Davis, QC, MP, will lead a delega tion to attend Her Majesty’s funeral.Notonly would it be right and proper but that event will, again, afford the PM to interact with world lead ers and those from The Commonwealth of Nations. Forging international high level connections is criti cal to the advancement, in all areas, of our wonder ful nation: educational; military; scientific; cultural and, of course, econom ics and developmental aid. The Queen is dead long live the King. May her soul and those of the dearly departed rest in peace. The Lord giveth and The Lord taketh away.
I was greatly alarmed to read that with our Queen not even buried some Baha mian politicians are already talking about the country becoming a republic. As an investor in your country and a frequent resident I cannot see how that helps The Bahamas in any way.

Asked if the draft legislation crimi nalised marital rape, the minister said it criminalised rape.
Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Perry Christie said he will support whatever decision his successor makes.Section three of the Sexual Offences Act states that rape is the act of any person not under 14 years of age having sexual intercourse with another person who is not his spouse, without the consent of that other person; without consent which has been extorted by threats or fear of bodily harm; with consent obtained by personating the spouse of that other person; with consent obtained by false and fraudulent representa tion as to the nature and quality of the act.
In a subsequent police interview, Morley admitted to the offence. He said he intended to blend the drugs to bake his wife a weed cake.

THE STORIES BEHIND THE NEWS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2022
It became clear quite quickly there were two sets of reactions – those among people interacting with one another in person, and the reaction on social media.
And so here we are, in the wake of one landmark moment, faced with the possibility of another.

yet we did, with the Queen in attend ance, and the Royal Yacht, Britannia, in port. It was a validation of The Bahamas, a sign that we could hold our own and shine.
The sense of importance that goes with the Queen’s passing is rooted in part in the fact that for many of us, she has simply always been there.King Charles inherits the throne, but he does not inherit the reputation of his mother. He will have his own relationships, including with The Bahamas. He has visited in the past, and had already agreed to visit for the 50th anniversary year of independence. He will do so now as King, not as Prince.Butwill this moment of transition for the monar chy trigger a move towards a transition for The Baha mas? Is now the time to reconsider becoming a republic?OnFriday, Prime Min ister Philip “Brave” Davis said his administration will let Bahamians decide on that matter. He said he would support the move.

We likely wouldn’t be having these conversations yet if the Queen still lived. Perhaps that, as much as anything, shows how impor tant her position was, and the possibility of long-held relationships becoming unglued without the respect for her keeping things together.Itisindeed the passing of an age. How much we take the new age into our own hands, we must wait and see.

Queen “represented roy alty in every aspect of the word”. Another said that “the end of a dynasty has passed”. A pastor talked of how “she did well in ser vice and she always kept integrity”.Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham talked of how the Queen was “a symbol of stability” and his amazement at “how normal, and regular an indi vidual she was in person”. He said she had “a stor age of information on The Bahamas”.Former Prime Minis ter Perry Christie said her unswerving fidelity to duty and service was unsur passed, and called her “a shining example of personal integrity, steadfastness, courage, grace and dignity”.
Elsewhere, there was plenty of talk of the Queen going to hell rather than heaven, or not caring about her death at all. Then there were the people blaming the Queen for all the ills of colonialism. To put it mildly, there were plenty of people rejoicing the death on social media.
Some students I spoke to told of how their classes had been interrupted by a staff member coming in to break the news, and how discus sion of it had filled the day, along with speculation over whether the children would watch the funeral at school.
Another Bahamian who had met the Queen when travelling to London to receive an honour talked of how important that meet ing had been to them, and how they felt a sense of loss at the news even though, in truth, the Queen has just been a remote, distant figure to most of us.

THE passing of Queen Elizabeth II was one of those moments that rings across public life. Whatever your opinion of the Queen and the monarchy, her death on Thursday marked a change. Sometimes, when such a moment comes, the best thing to do is to listen to what others have to say –so that’s what I did.
We might not be sing ing that, but there will be changes that will affect us. Already, Queen’s Coun sel has changed to King’s Counsel by an automatic process, and there will be other changes too.

them.Sothe question now will be: What comes next?
His predecessor as both Prime Minister and PLP leader, Mr Christie, said: “The question and chal lenge now is that the new king, King Charles, will have the role to play that his mother played magnifi cently and the question will be how effective that will be to keep everything going in the way it has in the past.”
John was born in 1975, four months pre mature and weighing less than three pounds. For the first six weeks of his life he lived in an incubator in the neonatal ICU at the Prin cess Margaret Hospital because of his poorly developed organs. Initially, doctors gave him a low probability for survival but each day John became stronger and stronger. Eventu ally he was released, his life entrusted to the care of his loving parents, but within hours, his parents had to rush him back to the hos pital when he wouldn’t stop vomiting. It was shortly after being breast fed that his stomach shook and his jaws trembled violently. It was the choking noise that he made, as if he could barely catch his breath that frightened his mother the most. Because of his small, fragile size, she panicked immediately and cried and screamed when she arrived at the hospital for the on-call doctors and nurses to save her newborn baby. John’s mother had never been so afraid in her entire life. She desperately and repeatedly prayed for a miracle.
From then straight through to his teen age years, however, John was plagued by recurrent bronchial infections. He recalls con stantly being sick as a child and his parents were always on guard, overly cautious about letting him play outside, getting wet when it rained and being amongst other kids that had even a minor cough or fever. But it was his parents’ protective, heavy-handed approach that kept him alive and it would be years before he faced another serious, life threaten ing medical event.
It’s easy to give up and lose heart when bad things happen to us but there’s a reason why we climb mountains. The long, unyielding stretches of hardship challenges our persever ance by pushing us to the brink of collapse. But for those able to summon the strength and endurance required to push forward, the gifts of hard work lie in wait on the other side of the mountaintop. There, in plain sight, are the fruits of our labour.

My patient was baptised as John because no one believed that he’d live beyond a few days so it wasn’t until he was released from the hospital following his surgery that he was finally given his real (undisclosed) name. John has been battle-tested from childhood and is prepared for anything that life throws at him. He now knows that his wife and daugh ter, successful career as a lawyer and the love and appreciation of his friends and family were the reward for his climb. And just as Dr King Jr declared, this breath-taking promised land awaits anyone who’s facing overwhelm ing trials but remains bold enough to keep the faith and courageous enough to survive.
The take home message that John wanted to share with readers is the importance of getting medical insurance, paying attention to your health and giving thanks and appre ciation to the people around you. He married his girlfriend who diligently saw him through his health crises and they now have a beauti ful young daughter. As a father, with a deeper insight that one can only obtain after becom ing a parent, he also has immense gratitude for his mother for always comforting, protect ing and taking care of him as a child and as an adult. He couldn’t return to law school for two months and when he did, he walked with a cane so his classmates rallied around him and helped him catch up on all of the classes that he missed. He is forevermore grateful to them and to God for all of his life’s blessings.

John had a birth defect known as esopha geal atresia, where the esophagus is split into two sections making it impossible for food to pass from the mouth to the stomach. It initially went undetected because he was pre viously fed intravenously. His situation was critical and required emergent surgical inter vention. Operating on a newborn is incredibly challenging and his surgeons initially strug gled. John’s atresia was complicated by a blockage or fistula that connected his esophagus to his windpipe, which is why his breathing had become so precarious. It took hours to surgically reconnect the two ends of his esophagus but ultimately the surgery was a success and John was able to breathe and feed without any further obstruction.
He had a fever, a persistently brutal cough, chest pain especially during inhalation and intense fatigue. After three days of no improvement, despite taking over-the-coun ter flu medication and only consuming soup and ginger-ale, John went to see his family physician and was prescribed oral antibiot ics. A day later, his chest and stomach pain intensified. By this time, John was struggling to breathe. His family was mortified by how quickly and without warning his symptoms went from mild to severe. He was rushed to the emergency room at the same hospital where his life had been saved as an infant.
This is The KDK Report.
My friend and patient, hereafter referred to as John, has listened to that speech often over the years, wondering what went through Dr King Jr’s mind while writing it. It has been a constant source of inspiration for John and thinking about it gives him an opportunity to reflect upon his own challenges.
Though nurses immediately transported John who was sweating profusely and in physical distress, to the most critical section of the emergency room, it took three hours for x-rays to be taken. Ultimately, the x-rays were inconclusive and only showed a cloudy mass on the left side of his chest cavity. John was admitted and transported to the floor as soon as a bed became available. At this point his whole body ached. A CT scan of his chest was ordered revealing three remarkably large infected abscesses within his lung cavity that had to be surgically drained. John’s lungs had collapsed and had he not been operated on during that time frame, he in all likelihood would have died. He remained in the hospi tal for two weeks following his surgery. Since then, he fortunately hasn’t experienced any similar symptoms and to this day, John has no idea what caused the abscesses to form.
In 2012, during the Christmas holidays when John, then 36, was on a break from law school, he took a young woman he had just started dating to the carnival. They were joined by a few family members. They went on multiple rides, played games, laughed and enjoyed the typical carnival food offerings like hot dogs, pizza and soft serve ice cream.

The speech was in support of economic justice for striking sani tation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee but Dr King Jr also spoke about having personally faced difficult days. It would end up being the final and most mem orable of his words. The man who tried to change the world through peace died by vio lence. He was assassinated the following day. Prophetically, Dr King Jr said that when looking over the mountaintop, he’d seen the Promised Land and even though he might not get there, he wasn’t afraid. Fear, after all, only cripples us from moving forward and in life, under the harshest of circumstance, you have to be strong to survive.

Other suspi cious incidents came to light, such as hundreds of boxes of electoral materi als being found in a house in Potosí. The EU elec tion expert mission (EEM) believes that the TSE´s decisions, combined with their failure to provide explanations for them, irrevocably damaged trust in the results process”. Despite the clear state ment by the EU, no representation is made that the EU was wrong or has an ulterior motive; such representations have been reserved for, and focussed on, the OAS and particularly the Secretary General.However, it was the Morales government, in the face of the statements by international observ ers of “damaged trust” in the elections result, that invited the OAS to conduct an audit of the result. The OAS did not offer to do so, or to invite itself. Further, the Morales government confirmed, in a signed agreement with the OAS Secretariat, that “the audit findings would be binding”.

All this had led to this commentary in order to explain the process of elec toral observation and the purpose of the missions that conduct them.
The electoral observation mission was headed by the former Costa Rican Foreign Minister, Manuel González (who, incidentally, also led the observation mission to the 2020 elections at which the MAS Presiden tial candidate, Luis Arce, was declared the winner) and the four audit teams comprised independent technical experts from various countries includ ing Argentina, Mexico and Spain.None of these teams were subject to any direction by the OAS Permanent Coun cil, the Secretary General or the Secretariat.

THERE are intermittent squabbles in the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), concerning the contro versial general elections of October 20, 2019, in Bolivia.The president, Evo Morales, resigned after these elections amid a storm of protests, by groups within the country, charg ing that they were not free and fair. The conclusion that the election process was improper and not cred ible came from electoral observer missions of the European Union (EU) and the OAS, whose pres ence was requested by the MoralesHowever,government.inthe postelections period, and a subsequent audit of the result conducted by the OAS - again at the request of the Morales govern ment - allegations have been made that somehow the process was a coup d’état orchestrated by Luis Almagro, the OAS Sec retary-General.

The point is that the Secretaries General or Chief Executive Officers of regional organisations, such as the EU, the Com monwealth and the OAS, organise electoral observer missions at the request of governments; independent persons of high reputation – usually a former head of government or foreign minister – lead the mission with no interference from Secretariats or Secretaries General in the conduct of theirThework.OAS secretariat did not manufacture the flaws in the 2019 Bolivian elec tions any more than did the EU.No ruling political party that is criticised for a flawed electoral process welcomes such criticism, but their unhappiness does not negate the flaws or the lack of fairness in an elections process. Democracy is served by such criticism.

‘I CANNOT MOURN’: FORMER COLONIES CONFLICTED OVER QUEEN
Britain’s harsh response to the Mau Mau rebellion against colonial rule.
IN A somber, regal pro cession, Queen Elizabeth II’s flag-draped coffin was driven slowly through the Scottish countryside yes terday from her beloved Balmoral Castle to the Scottish capital of Edin burgh. Mourners packed city streets and highway bridges or lined rural roads with cars and tractors to take part in a historic good bye to the monarch who had reigned for 70 years.
Talk has turned to the lega cies of colonialism, from slavery to corporal punish ment in African schools to looted artifacts held in British institutions. For many, the queen came to represent all of that during her seven decades on the throne.InKenya, where dec ades ago a young Elizabeth learned of her father’s death and her enormous new role as queen, a lawyer named Alice Mugo shared online a photograph of a fading document from 1956. It was issued four years into the queen’s reign, and well into

Along the route, the cortege passed through locations laden with House of Windsor history.

“We cannot blame the queen for all the sufferings that we had at that particu lar time,” Kahindi said.
In Kenya’s capital, Nai robi, resident Max Kahindi remembered the Mau Mau rebellion “with a lot of bit terness” and recalled how some elders were detained or killed. But he said the queen was “a very young lady” then, and he believes someone else likely was running British affairs.
Timothy Kalyegira, a political analyst in Uganda, said there is a lingering “spiritual connection” in some African countries, from the colonial experi ence to the Commonwealth.
There were few signs of public grief or even inter est in her death across the Middle East, where many still hold Britain responsi ble for colonial actions that drew much of the region’s borders and laid the groundwork for many of its modern conflicts.

That upset Ann Hamil ton,“There’s48. tens of thou sands of people here today to show their respect. For them to be here, heckling through things, I think it was terrible. If they were so against it, they shouldn’t have come,” she said.
In Ballater, the Rev. David Barr said locals con sider the royal family as neighbours.“Whenshe comes up here, and she goes through those gates, I believe the royal part of her stays mostly outside,” he said of the queen. “And as she goes in, she was able to be a wife, a loving wife, a loving mum, a loving gran and then later on a loving greatgran — and aunty — and be normal.”Elizabeth Taylor, from Aberdeen, had tears in her eyes after the hearse passed through Ballater.

The explanation sounded similar to the justification Russia gave for pulling back from the Kyiv region
Igor Strelkov, who led Russia-backed forces when the separatist conflict in the Donbas erupted in 2014, mocked the Rus sian Defense Ministry’s explanation of the retreat, suggesting that handing over Russia’s own territory near the border was a “con tribution to a Ukrainian settlement”.Theretreat drew an angry response from Rus sian military bloggers and nationalist commentators, who bemoaned it as a major defeat and urged the Krem lin to step up its war efforts. Many scathingly criticised Russian authorities for con tinuing with fireworks and other lavish festivities in Moscow that marked a city holiday on Saturday despite the debacle in Ukraine.

Using her heavy topspin forehand to take charge from the baseline, Swiatek dictated the tempo and tra jectory of points. She ran her opponent this way and that, never letting Jabeur use the sorts of spins and variety that she’s accus tomedWhento.
Chimaev, the Chechnyaborn Swede considered one of MMA’s top rising talents, was loudly booed by the crowd just off the Las Vegas Strip on fight night.
The 21-year-old from Poland won the French Open for the second time in June and is the first woman since Angelique Kerber in 2016 to collect two major titles in a single season.

“I feel like on court, I can just do my job,” Swiatek
said, “and I’m happy about it, that I kind of can make these doubts go away.”
She is the first African woman and first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final and was partici pating in her second in a row.But she is 0-2 at that stage, including a runner-up showing at Wimbledon in July.“Definitely, I’m not some one that’s going to give up,” said Jabeur, whose sup port team wore black shirts with white writing that read “Yalla Habibi,” Arabic for “Let’s go, my love!”

The pay-per-view went off with several significant changes made just one day earlier because Chimaev didn’t come close to his contracted weight — and then shrugged and smiled about it on the scale.
Light heavyweight Johnny Walker led off the pay-per-view card with a submission of Ion Cute laba before Irene Aldana stopped Macy Chiasson with an extraordinary upkick to the body while Aldana was down on the canvas. Aldana drove her heel into Chiasson’s abdo men while Chiasson was towering over her, ending the fight abruptly.
When Jabeur missed a slice forehand early in the second set, she dropped her racket to reflect her despair. A few points later, she flung her racket while off bal ance and falling face down.

Chimaev stopped Kevin Holland with a D’Arce choke 2:13 into the first round of their grudge match, which was also cre ated after Chimaev (12-0)
“It’soverall.something that I wasn’t expecting, for sure. It’s also like a confirmation for me that the sky’s the limit,” said Swiatek, who is 55-7 in tour-level matches with seven trophies in 2022, both best in the WTA. “I’m proud. Also surprised little bit.”She acknowledged har boring concerns about the U.S. Open after a couple of shaky showings at hardcourt tune-up tournaments.
Diaz landed punches regularly on Ferguson in the first two rounds, and he played to the crowd in the third with long walks around the cage between exchanges, even resting with one arm atop the cage momentarily.Ferguson got Diaz’s attention with leg kicks — but when Ferguson attempted to get into a grappling match, Diaz applied the choke and fin ished at 2:52 of the fourth.
“I am sure,” she added, “I’m going to be in the final again.”Didn’t help on this sunny, 85-degree Fahrenheit (29.4 Celsius) afternoon that Jabeur needed to deal with Swiatek, who has won her past 10 finals — all in straight sets — and was great from the get-go.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nate Diaz stopped Tony Ferguson with a guillotine choke in the fourth round of the hastily arranged main event of UFC 279 on Satur dayThenight.37-year-old Diaz (21-13) finished his current UFC contract by finishing fellow veteran Ferguson (25-9) in a matchup only made on Friday after Khamzat Chimaev badly missed weight for his mainevent bout with Diaz.
But Diaz might not be done with the UFC, since he got a tweet earlier Satur day from Conor McGregor, who promised to complete theirDiaztrilogy.and McGregor split two largely thrilling bouts in 2016, and the results catapulted Diaz into the top echelon of celebrities in mixed martial arts.
Jabeur did not face a single break point in her semifinal victory, but she got broken right away when Swiatek laced a cross-court backhand winner off a short ball to cap a 15-stroke exchange.“Theonly match here where I started that well,” said Swiatek, who had to come back from a set down
“I want to get out of the UFC for a minute and show these UFC fight ers how to take over and own up another sport how you’re supposed to do it,” Diaz said. “Because Conor McGregor didn’t know how to do it, and none of these other fighters know how to do it, so I’m going to go out there and I’m going to
her strong court coverage, backed by a soundtrack of squeaky sneakers as she darted everywhere, some times even sliding as she arrived at a ball, the way one does on red clay, her favorite surface.
Swiatek raised a clenched fist and yelled, “Come on!” Then Jabeur did make things interesting, briefly.
Swiatek, like Jabeur, travels with a sports psy chologist, and it took some fortitude to finish this one off. At 6-5 in the second set, Swiatek held her first championship point. Right before Jabeur served, Swiatek jogged over to the sideline to change rackets — an unusual choice at that moment.When action resumed, Swiatek missed a backhand. That could have been tough to recover from. Indeed, Jabeur pushed things to the tiebreaker, which she then led 5-4. But Swiatek steeled herself, took the last three points and soon was accept ing the silver trophy and a $2.6 million winner’s check, joking: “I’m really glad that is not in cash.”
Jabeur earned three break chances in that game, any one of which would have allowed her to serve for the set. She could not cash in there, though, miss ing a groundstroke on each.

missed weight by 7 1/2 pounds on Friday morning. The UFC dramatically shuffled its card to keep both Chimaev and Diaz on the show, resulting in three new matchups for the final three fights at T-Mobile Arena.Diaz’s desire to fight the vaunted Chimaev seemed foolhardy in a distinctly Diaz way, but the late matchup with Ferguson was much more competitive than the original booking likely would have been.
“She’s really set the bar very high. It’s great for our sport,” said Jabeur, a 28-year-old from Tunisia who will rise to No. 2 in the rankings today.
On the early undercard, heavyweight Chris Barnett stopped Jake Collier in the first round with punches. Barnett missed weight for his bout, which was fought at a catchweight.
But only briefly. She got to 4-all and, after ending up on her back when an off-balance backhand won a point in the next game, she stayed there, enjoying the moment, pumping her fists while laying on the ground.

His burgeoning reputation as a heel only grew when he was asked about missing weight in the post-fight interview and responded “I don’t care about (that),” to thunder ous“I’mboos.the black belt here,” Chimaev added. “I’m Mike Tyson. I’m Muhammad Ali.”Li Jingliang, who began the week expecting to face Ferguson, was matched with Daniel Rodriguez, Holland’s scheduled oppo nent. Rodriguez (17-2) beat Li (19-8) by split decision in an uneventful bout in which both fighters were understandably cautious of their unfamiliar opponent.
Swiatek needed to wait 10 minutes from her first match point to the one that closed the contest, but close it she did. Maybe she’ll feel more comfortable at the US Open from now on.

“I have heard from so many players that want to honour Her Majesty,” Pelley said, “and felt that playing was the right way to doEnglishit.”
It came while he was trail ing 4-3 in the first set. He raced forward to a short ball that bounced twice before Ruud’s racket touched it.
Play continued, and Alcaraz hesitated then flubbed his response. But Ruud told the chair umpire what had happened, giving the point to Alcaraz, who gave his foe a thumbs-up and applauded right along with the spectators to acknowledge the move.
