Strides “in the right direction” made to address firefighters' strike – Minister Musgrove – Calls last Saturday’s event “unfortunate” Authorities in the TCI have taken evasive action to ensure that industrial action, which halted operations at the Providenciales International Airport last Saturday, is not repeated.

On June 18, a group of disgruntled firefighters staged a strike by not reporting for work which resulted in several domestic and international flights being cancelled.

According to a reliable source, this was done to demand the attention of authorities on a recent pay raise that was awarded by the Cabinet and the (Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority) TCIAA Board of Directors.

According to the source, workers were promised an across-the-board increase in remuneration, however, when the increase was applied to salaries it was alarmingly unequal.

In receiving notice of the industrial action underway, the Airport Authority, Deputy Governor Anya Williams, Premier Hon Washington Misick and Minister with responsibility for Aviation and the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority Hon Arlington Musgrove took swift action and met with the firefighters to discuss and resolve longstanding issues that have been neglected over the years.

Commenting on the matter, in

Minister with responsibility for Aviation and the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority Hon Arlington Musgrove a press statement, Musgrove said, “The events of Saturday were unfortunate, but I am satisfied that the Government and the Authority have made, and continue to make, strides in the right direction to correct the discrepancies in the pay structure of the Authority which have existed for years.”

The Minister explained that the first of a two-phased approach to addressing pay and grade, saw all firefighters receiving a 15% increase in salary, while the whole Government saw only 4% and 2% of which will be paid to NIB. He pointed out that Cabinet also approved a 6% award for the TCIAA to affect the pension scheme for its employees, which

Providenciales International Airport includes firefighters.

“Now, while this is not the final goal, the next step is to ensure that there is a proper salary grade structure for the entire body, which will give effect to further pay reviews, and while these things take time, the TCIAA and the Government remain committed to seeing this through”.

In response to the Deputy Leader of the People’s Democratic Movement, Hon Robert Been, who opined that efforts should have been made on the part of the Government and other concerned parties to address the issues long before it affects the travelling public, Musgrove said: “There is a lot of noise in the market currently, including that of the opposition, the PDM, but let me remind them of the record that successive PNP Governments stand on. “It is a matter of fact that the firefighters have had two salary increases over the years, the first being 15% in July 2015, paid retroactively from April 2015 to all of the TCIAA staff including the firefighters, under the Rufus Ewing-led PNP Government, and the second being a 15% in June 2022, paid retroactively from 1st April 2022, under this current Misick-led PNP Government.”

He reminded that there were a number of other firefighter strikes, including one in March of 2012, under the Interim Administration; in March of 2018 under the PDM; in August of 2019 under the PDM; while in October of 2019 under the PDM there was an Air Traffic Controllers strike.

“During the period of the PDM Government, four budgets and countless supplementary budgets were passed and not one of them sought to correct the salary concerns of the firefighters, nor that of any other staff at the TCIAA – not one!

“So, the PDM opposition

should be the last to be calling out this Government for anything in relation to the improvement of the lives of the people of these islands, because what is abundantly clear, is that it is only under a PNP Government that the people are heard and get the results that they can see”, Musgrove opined.

Following the restoration of normal operations at the airports, the Authority and the Government also met with the security services of the TCIAA to address similar concerns and to demonstrate their commitment to addressing the pay discrepancies across the entire organisation.

Minister Musgrove said the meeting was a very “proactive approach taken by the Authority, to ensure that there is clear communication and understanding of the measures being taken by the TCIAA and the Government to improve the pay packages of the staff.

“This work is ongoing and will not be achieved in one go, but it is important that staff know that we are working on their behalf and that they feel they can talk to us.

“I take this opportunity to sincerely recognise the work of the interim CEO Mr Godfrey Smith and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Selvyn Hawkins, who from their inception recognised the insufficiency of the pay of staff and the absence of an equitable grading system.

“They have continued to champion the plight of the staff and the Cabinet has supported them at every turn.”

COMMITTED TO IMPROVEMENT The TCIAA said it “continues to prioritise improving work conditions and salaries/wages”.

In a statement issued shortly after news of the strike made the

rounds on social media, the TCIAA promised to review staff salaries with the aim of implementing a grading scale that meets the ethics of both staff remuneration and the fiscal management of public funds.

The Authority pointed to the recent sod-turning for the construction of a new Fire Hall and Air Traffic Control Tower, as steps to improve conditions at the airport.

“It is further hoped that the anticipated redevelopment of the Providenciales International Airport would address several other workplace issues which both the Board and Management of the TCIAA share concerns about with its staff.

“Together, with the Turks and Caicos Islands Government, the TCIAA remains committed not only to the safety of aircraft, passengers, staff, and other users of the airport but is genuinely committed to developing the TCIAA into a desirable and model work environment.”

DISAPPOINTING NEWS Matthew Raizenne, a Canadian visitor who emailed the Weekly News to vent his frustration when his vacation plans were disrupted said it was “very disappointing news”.

He said: “We just got off a full plane in Toronto (headed to Turks) as we were advised that Turks Airport Staff is on strike and we can’t come and spend our money on the island.

“500 Canadians now stuck in Toronto, what is happening in Turks?

“This is horrible for the country and sends a very bad message that “Turks is closed for business”.

The interruption in operations ended at 10:00 am on Saturday due to the swift action of the Government and the Airport Authority.

TCI retains S&P BBB+ credit rating eight years in a row The Turks and Caicos Islands has retained its BBB+ long-term sovereign credit rating from rating agency Standard and Poor's for the eighth consecutive year.

S&P has affirmed the country’s sovereign credit rating for longterm bonds, denominated in both domestic and foreign currency, of BBB. This was revealed in the results of a review of the 2021 sovereign credit rating for the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) published on March 29, 2022, however, the results were shared with local media on June 23, 2022.

Additionally, the agency also maintained the outlook as stable for the TCI. The Rating Agency advised that the stable outlook takes into account that the country’s economy will continue to recover given the strong performance of tourism, and will improve in 2022.

Furthermore, S&P believes the TCI will continue to adhere to prudent financial management and limit borrowing, and that fiscal reserve balances will increase during the next two years.

Additionally, the rating agency also expects continuity in TCI’s institutional relationship with the UK. In its report, the rating agency advised that the rationale for the rating as a result of the country’s institutional and economic profile.

That is, the economic recovery led by a resurgence in tourism and

continued institutional stability.

S&P indicated that despite the short-term pressures of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the TCI government’s prudent actions, aided by the UK’s swift transfer of vaccines, allowed international travel to resume as early as the first quarter of 2021.

The combination of the government’s swift response, coupled with pent-up demand in key source markets, led to a strong recovery in tourism, which in turn, has led to a better-than-anticipated economic recovery.

S&P estimates GDP per capita to be $23,674 in 2021, up from $20,757 in 2020 – a 14% yearover-year increase.

Tourism remains the core pillar of the economy, indirectly accounting for about 65% of GDP, S&P noted in its review.

S&P indicated that the ratings could be revised upwards if betterthan-expected GDP increases and continued favourable growth prospects were to substantially boost economic resilience.

Additionally, the rating agency also stated that they could also raise the ratings if better availability of timely data, especially on external flows and stocks, were to boost transparency and indicated that TCI enjoyed a significantly stronger economic or external position.

However, if the rebound in tourism is interrupted or turns out to be weaker than expected,

S&P has affirmed the country’s sovereign credit rating for long-term bonds, denominated in both domestic and foreign currency, of BBB leading to prolonged stress on revenues, this may cause the TCI Government to run persistent fiscal deficits that could materially worsen public finances. This could lead to a downgrading of the rating.

Commenting on the rating, Minister of Finance, Investment & Trade, Hon E. Jay Saunders, said: “I am happy and extremely proud that S&P saw fit to maintain our country’s credit rating at BBB+, particularly at a time when many countries had theirs downgraded – mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is a testament to the strength of our economy, and particularly, our government’s

prudent handling of it. We have taken particular note of S&P’s comment that they could raise the ratings on better availability of timely data, and we are working towards achieving that.”

The Agency has also projected that economic recovery and stable fiscal policy will lead to fiscal surpluses over the next two years.

It said: “Given the strong recovery in tourism, we expect TCI will end fiscal 2021/2022 with a fiscal surplus.

“Moreover, continued good economic growth and stable fiscal policy will likely generate surpluses during the forecast horizon.

“As of December 2021,

Fresh mangoes banned from importation due to invasive fungal disease The Department of Agriculture has imposed strict restrictions on the importation of fresh mangoes into the TCI. The Plant Protection Division within the Department of Agriculture on Tuesday, June 21, announced that the importation of fresh mangoes was restricted immediately unless approval is given by the department.

In a statement, the department explained that the prohibition is due to the constant interception/ findings of “fruit larvae and signs of anthracnose (fungal) disease on

imported mangoes”.

“Companies and persons wishing to import fresh mangoes must provide the certification from the exporting country that the mangoes are from an area free of fruit flies and a completed application form to the Department of Agriculture for approval,” the Department stated.

Residents were urged to protect the Turks and Caicos Islands by helping to prevent the introduction, establishment, and spread of this invasive (fruit fly species) and fungal disease anthracnose.

revenues outperformed budgeted estimates by almost 40% while expenditures were 15% lower than budgeted.

“The biggest drivers of the strong revenues were hotel and restaurant tax, import duties, and stamp duties. “ The government expects a $17m surplus in the current fiscal year, according to its latest fiscal and strategic policy statement”, the Agency said.

S&P stressed that this differs from its forecast surplus of $74m, which is based on a different GDP growth forecast and our expectations about spending, based on historical patterns and conservative budgeting assumptions.

A Weekly News column that puts you on the spot for your opinions on the issues of the day

ACHIEVING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS In order for Caribbean countries to advance and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, prudent budgeting strategies, which prioritise the needs of people, must be implemented.

This point was recently emphasised by the Director of Economics at the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Mr lan Durant, who advocated for the Bank's membership to embrace a new model for national budgeting that aligns with and tracks progress toward SDGs. "There is a need for effective mapping of expenditures to targets, to help improve resource allocation." Although he indicated that an overhaul of existing parliamentary budget systems and governance structures was not required, he expressed a need for "... complementing existing mechanisms to monitor, measure and evaluate investments with respect to targeted economic, social and environmental objectives".

Durant was at the time speaking at a seminar entitled Budgeting for Sustainable Development as part of the CDB's 52nd Annual Meeting held at Beaches Resort & Spa in the Turks and Caicos Islands on Tuesday, June 14. What are your thoughts?

TCI needs realistic, wealthy alliances

One can easily “divine” when one is in a Caribbean gathering of intellectuals. The language is esoteric, huge, flowing and utterly detached from any form of reality.

Alas, this is perhaps the central reason why the Caribbean region is trapped in the past with archaic norms, unrealistic goals and a “vital grasp” on perpetual poverty. What then is the meaning of “prudent budgeting strategies, which prioritise the needs of people?”

Are we apprehending a situation where they are belatedly admitting, as most people suspect, that budgets were made without people in mind? There is the further vital aspiration where they plan to implement “a new model for national budgeting that aligns with and tracks progress toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

What then are these "sustainable development" goals and what do they mean for the Turks & Caicos Islands which is overrun by English-speaking Caribbean nationals, Asian migrants and a populace that is left behind?

A country where the United Nations conspire with the British Government to open the door to Haitian Nationals, while Her Majesty’s Government send any “illegal migrant” they could capture to the African Republic of Rwanda. None of this makes any sense.

The TCI is best advised to form realistic alliances with its wealthy brothers and sisters in the Region to build wealth, create pools

of talent and develop a genuine regional development Bank that would participate in actual lending and deviate from flowery speeches. Like most regional commercial banks, the Caribbean Development Bank ("CDB") is out of touch, not committed to true developmental lending and a waste of regional resources.

We need to focus on the “Fierce Urgency of Now”

A diligent search of the meaning of “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” reveals that the 2030 target, is not suited for the English-speaking Caribbean. These targets are wider and more suited to a global situation. The TCI Government has already, at least in previous years, sought to budget in such a way to meet Sustainable Developmental Goals without saying so.

When Ministers had control of Crown it was possible in the TCI for a person born without wealth or education to use Crown land Grants in such a way to take himself into true millionaire status.

While some of the Sustainable Development Goals are to reduce poverty etc, there are very few mechanisms on a global scale that are genuinely designed to do so or to build wealth. The Banking system, the Defence industry and the global war machine take precedence.

Trillions of dollars are being spent on useless wars globally while pittances are

Director of Economics at the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Mr lan Durant allowed to be spent on education, health or poverty alleviation.

It is hardly possible to be a US President or Head of State in any serious nation unless that candidate is committed to war and its funding. This means that Sustainable Development Goals to balance the equation and to build a level playing field must take second fiddle.

The Caribbean Development Bank is really, like CARICOM, a highly oiled speech-making machine. There is little realism coming from these “Most Powerful” and august Caribbean entities. A region divided at all levels, with little fulcrum or force to enable a united force to deal with the world.

A united and coherent voice to attract real resources and capital to the Caribbean Development Bank and CARICOM is possible if they would only learn to speak with one clear and coherent voice. As a regional entity and with Britain feeling the heat from the European Union on Brexit, greater trade ties and liaisons could be made with the UK. In return, the UK could be encouraged to make more funds, finance and capital available to the CDB and CARICOM for its own developmental goals. Devise a serious plan, get rid of the Intellectual speeches that ought to be reserved for school graduations and passing out ceremonies. Take the UK on in a serious way and they are floundering out there in a divided world.

The global agenda for meeting "Sustainable Developmental Goals" is set for the year 2030, but Dr Martin Luther King spoke to the “Fierce Urgency of Now”. This is where the agenda needs to be.

To spur development in the TCI, to create growth among the people, to remove poverty, and increase access to education: the TCI Government must redirect its spending and priorities. It is hardly possible that "... complementing existing mechanisms to monitor, measure and evaluate investments with respect to targeted economic, social and environmental objectives", can work in the real world.

No one really has time for that laboratory kind of thinking. Access to capital for local markets in the TCI, and arguably the region, is still an issue. Most recently between 2021

November and June 2022, the Premier and Minister of Finance, respectively took on the issue of banking in the TCI, access to capital for locals, de-risking entire sectors etc. These are vital issues, which if joined with a serious public dialogue could effect real change.

Greater access to capital and cash could enable a faster realisation of any Sustainable Developmental Goal. The language is too wide to be grasped and taken on by the public where real pressure and agitation should come from.

Focus on building TCI and TCIslanders and SDGs will follow

To meet these unrealistic and esoteric targets set out by the CDB and Dr Ian Durant’s dream to embrace a new model, let the TCI as a regional trendsetter in regional growth do the following: Take responsibility for Crown land from the Governor and return it to a minister and spur Crown Grants for development and housing.

Close the reserved category of Business licensing to 90% in favour of TCIslanders.

Guarantee TCIslander youth a scholarship on leaving high school and college.

Change the curriculum at the high school and the TCI Community college to greater focus on business ownership, entrepreneurship and finance.

Freeze work permits for chartered accountants, lawyers, bankers, plumbers, carpenters and certain high-earning fields.

Capitalise a development bank in the TCI CONTINUED 

CDB meetings end on hopeful note for borrowing countries

BY DELANA ISLES The meetings of the Board of Governors of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) closed off last week on a high note, with hope for the future of fair borrowing for regional and other developing countries around the world.

The Turks and Caicos Islands’ second hosting of the 52nd annual meeting, held from June 14 to 16, has been lauded by attendees and the CDB’s top brass.

In his closing remarks, Premier Hon Washington Misick noted that

if nothing else, participants came away with a new appreciation of how difficult it is to measure and close the gap between regional countries and developed countries that have easy access to concessional borrowing for their development.

He said: “Generally, the meetings have been productive, provocative and impactful as we together, as governors and directors in the Bank, look forward to not only reimagining the future of the bank, but also reimagining the future of our region.

“Together we are hopeful for a

CDB’s Board of Governor’s meeting in TCI ended last Thursday more responsive rate for borrowing member countries (BMC) in the region and development partners, as well as the non-borrowing countries both in and out of the region.”

The Premier said the keyword throughout the meetings was ‘partnership’.

“The keyword that is going to make a difference – in terms of planning and implementation – is… partnership, which I believe

Continued with $50m and interest rates at 1-3 % so that truly local businesses could expand.

Convert the TCIAA, the Airport Systems and certain Governmental entities into public companies so that TCIslanders could take equity positions in them and own shares etc. Deal with the refusal of banks to lend to locals and the entire issue of de-risking. Budget real money for agriculture and deep-sea fishing.

Sign trade agreements with CARICOM, the UK, France and Canada to enable greater access to overseas markets for fish and agriculture.

Really expand e-government and make the cost of governance affordable. Deepen regional ties with the English-speaking Caribbean. Make the sovereign wealth fund work and place all TCIslanders on a fixed permanent annual income.

Take the mantle implement real growth for the people, and remove wealth and income gaps.

Show the region how to achieve these sustainable developmental goals and stop dreamin'.

More structure needed to achieve goals

Indeed, his statement bears some good truths.

However, it’s not only in the budgeting but also in how transparent we are with the expenditures to ensure that there are no illegal implications or corruptions with the use of public funds. Also, in terms of development, it does not only mean hotels, as in my opinion Grace Bay is overcrowded and has somewhat taken away from the beauty by nature appeal. Investment can also be in the medical and maritime fields as we have yet to truly explore these areas.

Government needs to do more for TCI

The Turks and Caicos Islands are operating with a surplus in budget yet the government pays rent for many offices. We have a surplus yet the cost of utilities are very high.... we need to provide affordable renewable energy solutions for the citizens. We have a budget surplus and still have congestion on our streets, lack of paved roads and full access to our beaches.

We boast of a surplus yet we do not have adequate facilities to take care of our elderly properly. Government operational infrastructure is antiquated and needs to be 21st-century functional.

How can we say we have a surplus when we are not spending monies to provide affordable housing for Turks and Caicos Islanders?

Do we really have a surplus when there are so many areas of lack? To reach the UN SDGs by 2030.... we need to spend more to reduce poverty, provide housing, provide renewable energy, give free access to health care, start a credit union, and eliminate drug and gun violence to make the Turks and Caicos Islands UN SDGs compliant.

We should be planning for survival

The sea level is rising. Heat and the strength of storms are worsening. It is a huge challenge. So our elite will ignore it. The economics is simple.

Durant shouldn't make it sound complicated.

Historically TCI politicians focus on policies that destroy the islands. Just watch?

has been restated here.

“It is key to advancing the development of our region.

This partnership is going to be needed both regionally and extraregionally…”

Premier Misick said what also came through clearly during the meetings, was the need to align regional countries’ budgets with the CDB’s strategic development goals.

He has pledged the TCI’s continued support of the CDB: “Mr President you have my word that the Turks and Caicos Islands, together with the other British Overseas Territories, we will be engaged with the Bank and ensure that it remains an effective and impactful public good for our region.”

NEW CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS ANNOUNCED During the closing ceremony, Prime Minister Hon Philip J Pierre accepted the Chairmanship of the Caribbean Development Bank's Board of Governors. He will serve from 2022 to 2023.

“I accept with humility and promise to use my best efforts to promote the goals and mission of this august regional institution.”

The Prime Minister related that his government is extremely pleased with the development path that the CDB has been advocating in the region.

“To my mind, it was a path to building resilience in a holistic way to help the people of the region fulfil the commitments of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

Pointing to the major crisis the world is going through now, such as lingering negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, the Russia-Ukraine War, imported inflation and structural deficiencies in regional economies, Prime Minister Pierre said there is the need to measure, target and eventually cut these deficiencies.

“This situation of crises if not halted can have the capability of increasing poverty and despair among the people of the region and further eroding their quality of life.

“It is important that we create

avenues and opportunities to build resilient economies for the benefit of our people.”

He said the one billion dollars that the CDB has estimated will be needed to build sustainable economies, may increase if the present global situation further deteriorates.

“The reality is that if we are to achieve these financing goals, the bank will have to access adequate and affordable finance underpinning a ‘Partnership for Development’ that includes the regional and international private and public sector, our developmental partners as well as other multilateral development banks.”

He congratulated the President of the CDB for the strategic alliances being forged with the African Development Bank, which he called a prompt and necessary intervention.

“Raising this much-needed finance will require new and innovative financial instruments, an improved regulatory and procurement infrastructure and greater integration of financial markets in our region.

“In this regard, I await the innovative and thought leadership promoted by the CDB in the formulation of the Recovery Duration Adjuster (RDA) as a replacement for the present valuation method of our vulnerabilities.

“It is clear that traditional national income measurements are inadequate for our Small Island Developing States.”

He also urged member states to focus on the economic well-being of their young people.

Touting his government’s own economic programmes for the youth of Saint Lucia, the Prime Minister said: “In that space, youth will be provided with state resources to help them convert hobbies into entrepreneurship and skills into businesses through finance and marketing support, training and mentorship; thus, creating sustainable livelihoods and a new cadre of indigenous businesspeople.

“A dedicated agency which is agile, flexible and responsive is being created to drive that policy.”

First lady launches work-study programme for school-age children

BY DELANA ISLES An early introduction to the job market for young people is the impetus behind a newly launched foundation under the patronage of the wife of the Premier, Mrs Delthia Russel-Misick.

Held as part of the events during the recently concluded CDB meetings in the territory, the VEN Dans Helping Hands foundation was officially launched on June 15, at the Ritz Carlton.

The VEN Dan Helping Hands foundation - a registered non-profit organisation founded in 2021- is the brainchild of Mrs RusselMisick; under whose direction the first batch of students was afforded an opportunity to experience the world of work in April.

Minister of Education Hon Rachel Taylor, Human Rights Commissioner Sabrina Greene,

Mrs Delthia Russel-Misick, wife of the Premier and wife of the President of the Caribbean Development Bank Brenda Thomas were among

attendees at the launch.

The organisation seeks to fill a void by initiating projects to encourage youth development and has set one of its main objectives: empowering our youth through employment opportunities and entrepreneurship.

The programme is done in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the department of labour and is aimed at schoolage children to prepare for the workforce.

Speaking on the impetus for the programme, Mrs Misick related that as a teen she was shy and insecure and that being offered a work internship at that time afforded her the opportunity to boost her confidence, preparing her for the world of work.

She said she wants to offer this same opportunity to other children.

The programme seeks to get

all government schools involved, partnering with the private sector to get selected students – those who need the extra encouragement and support - into the workforce on a work-study basis.

The first batch of students was selected from the Louise Garland High School; they were placed into a few private sector companies during the Easter break this year as part of the work-study programme.

Companies were urged to offer up an evaluation of the students' conduct and work ethic, while the students were then encouraged to relate their experiences. These were presented in a video presentation during the launch last week.

This summer the programme will be rolled out to other government schools.

Mrs Misick said for the first time, they will be handing out laptops to

the participating students – five from each school selected. Four schools have so far been named.

“This is all in an effort to help them to create their resumes, or whatever it is that would help them in the workforce,” she said.

The donation of the 20 laptops came from the CDB. Mrs Misick handed out certificates of appreciation and donations of the laptops to the HJ Robinson, Marjorie Basden, Raymond Gardiner, and the Louise Garland Thomas high schools for their outstanding work to educate the youths of the Islands and participation in the programme.

She also presented certificates of appreciation to the partner companies; namely: Grace Bay Medical Centre, Misick and Stanbrook, Hartling Group, Saunders & Co., Garland & Co. and Grace Bay Resorts.

‘Seeds in the ground and mechanical harvesters needed to aid food security’ – AfDB President tells Caribbean leaders President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi A. Adesina has bemoaned the negative impacts that climate change is having on achieving food security both in Africa and the Caribbean.

He was at the time speaking at a President’s luncheon hosted by Invest Turks and Caicos Agency (Invest TCI), in collaboration with Digicel, The Office of the Premier and The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).

The session was held under the theme ‘Collaborating for Capacity Development: Strengthening national capacities to establish and maintain food security partnerships’.

The luncheon took place on Wednesday, June 14, at Beaches Resort Village and Spa, Key West Village, and formed part of the meetings held during the recently concluded CBD Board of Governor’s meeting in Providenciales.

Dr Adesina highlighted that in both the Caribbean and Africa, the

negative impacts of climate change are felt in the agricultural sector and this, combined with looming shortages prompted by the RussiaUkraine conflict, threatens food security.

He elaborated on the Bank's use of technologies in the African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) programme and its role in helping to deliver climatesmart seeds to farmers in several African countries and in so doing, these countries have been able to get ahead of current wheat shortages.

He said under the TAAT programme, Sudan reduced wheat importation by 50% in two years, while Ethiopia was able to cut wheat imports altogether.

The AfDB also recently approved the $1.5bn African Emergency Food Production Facility to help advance food security in the face of the RussiaUkraine conflict.

Dr Adesina shared: "We all agreed it is time to support Africa to produce its food. It is time to

Dr Akinwumi A. Adesina, President of the African Development Bank was the guest speaker at InvestTCI’s luncheon have food sovereignty. The same must apply to the Caribbean.

“A recent survey by CARICOM and the World Food Program shows that food insecurity has increased by 72% among the population of the English-speaking Caribbean countries."

He stressed: "Food aid cannot feed Africa. Food aid cannot feed the Caribbean. Africa and the Caribbean need seeds in the ground and mechanical harvesters to harvest bountiful food produced locally.”

Meanwhile, the luncheon brought together 50 attendees, including members of Government, MSMEs in the agricultural sector, representatives from major resorts, and the business community to hear

from the Ministry of Agriculture and special guest speaker, Dr Adesina.

In her address to the attendees, the Honourable Josephine Connolly, Minister of Agriculture, stated: "We have clear goals to achieve a level of food security as articulated in our Plan for Empowerment of our people.

Our focus is on creating a strong, sustainable sector that would empower social development through, among other things, increased local food production.

We have a thriving fishing industry, and our goals for sustainability, food production, and meeting growing local demands are the same in this industry.”

Commenting on the event, CEO

of Invest TCI Angela Musgrove stated: "The conversation on collaborating for capacity development to establish and maintain food security partnerships is not just an imperative but long overdue. Invest TCI was pleased to bring our small businesses to the table to be a part of the dialogue.

“As stakeholders, each of us has a role to play as we recognise the urgency for developing and transforming the agriculture sector in the Turks and Caicos to a level of self-sufficiency. My optimistic view is that it is not an impossible feat but one that can only be achieved if the energy created by each of us is channelled into making a collective impact for all of us."

Don’t take on more than you can handle You can achieve more by doing less

I don’t know about you, but I find myself, particularly since Covid-19, taking on more than I can handle. During the initial stages of the pandemic, the economy was declining and many of us let go of some of our employees.

However, now that the economy is rebounding, some of us still have not recruited the full quota of employees needed and as a result, we find ourselves taking on new opportunities, but we are unable to meet the deadlines because we have taken on more than we can handle.

Prior to Covid-19, some people had a reputation for completing tasks on time but now you are making promises to do things by a certain timeframe and failing to meet the deadline.

In addition to your work, some of you are involved in several community activities and you don’t

have time to take care of your own self or your family. If you are like me, some of you want to help everybody and don’t want to say no to anyone. The thing is, you cannot take the entire world on your shoulders, otherwise you may be overwhelmed and stressed and don’t achieve anything significant at all.

When it comes to your business or career, it can be very tempting

to say yes to all opportunities that come your way. However, if you don’t have the capacity to handle additional work, you must learn to say no and decline some opportunities.

Otherwise, some of you will spend many hours beyond your normal working hours and on weekends working to meet the deadlines you promised. There is nothing wrong with working late and on weekends,

but this can be very unhealthy and counterproductive. In fact, you may find yourself being so tired and not being able to complete your tasks.

The best thing to do is to do less. Do a few jobs or opportunities that you know you can handle and deliver to your clients on time.

Alternatively, recruit additional help as many of us want to do everything by ourselves. If you don’t have the finances to pay for additional staff, be upfront with the clients and provide them with a realistic time when you can get it done. If they cannot wait that long, then simply refer them elsewhere.

This may be risky as the client may remain with that referral. However, wouldn’t you rather lose one than lose all your clients because you took on more than you can handle?

Now there are some of us who are also volunteers in some community

events. While I encourage and promote individuals to volunteer in the community, don’t take on more than you can handle. I think you should focus on just one or two community events and be effective in them rather than spreading yourself everywhere. Furthermore, you need time for yourself and your family.

Wouldn’t you rather achieve a few projects rather than trying to take on more than you can handle and don’t achieve anything at all?

Of course, some people will always take on more than they can handle and may achieve everything but at what price are you willing to do this. Are you willing to sacrifice quality time with your family? Are you willing to compromise your health because taking on more than you can handle can lead to stress and stress can lead to health issues?

The negative impacts of inflation in the US and TCI’s need for economic diversification Americans are enthralled by the soaring costs of nearly everything they buy, as inflation hits a 40-year high. Consumer prices in May 2022, rose at the fastest rate since 1981 and the surging cost of food, clothing, housing, and airfares are inducing consumers to save more and spend less. Meanwhile, the national average price for gas has now topped $5 per gallon.

Reports indicate that food prices are up 10.1 per cent precipitated by climbing eggs prices, as bird flu ravages chicken flux. Housing prices are up 5.5 per cent and oil prices are gushing every day.

Expert statistics indicate that American households are currently paying $460 more per month to buy the same amount of goods and services.

Wall Street is in free fall, as stocks closing in bear market territory for the first time in more than two years. The DOW Industrial Average lost 880 points, the Nasdaq down 414 points and S&P plunged 21 per cent. From this, there are growing fears of a recession.

families and this indicates their mutual funds, 401 (k), college savings, and pensions are all trickling.

As consumer prices continue to surmount, President Biden explained the spikes. He criticises the impetus of this mayhem on shippers, widespread price gouging, especially among oil giants and businesses across America, Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin – the architect of the unprovoked war in Ukraine, and rightly so, the pandemicrelated stimulus packages.

However, the most crucial inflationary consequence is the impact on air travel. Domestic

airfares now averaging $403 round trip. Travelling from Atlanta to Los Angeles is up 65 per cent from 2019; from New York to Denver airfares rose to 58 per cent from the same period, and from Chicago down to Orlando prices mounted to 47 per cent.

The bad news for the TCI is that economists have warned that these rising fares and inflation can impede travel spending. If this happens, the health of TCI’s tourism sector is at stake. To entice sales, hoteliers and airlines must merge and design packages for stays.

According to the Consumer Price Index, jet fuel prices have soared by 30 per cent in the last month – a cost, which the airlines are imposing on their passengers.

Subsequently, this has pushed international airfares up 10.7 per cent. If nothing resonates with the authorities to push economic diversification in the TCI—this one should gravitate.

However, there is growing optimism among travel advisors.

They’re saying, after two years of Covid-related restrictions most people aren’t likely to cancel their upcoming travel plans.

But “Destination Analysis,” has a contrarian view. Their independent statistical report states that more Americans than not, believe that a recession is imminent and only twenty-four per cent believe that the US has strong economic growth. In the meantime, inflation in consumer prices has forced 23.2 per cent of American travellers to cancel their upcoming trips.

The impact of inflation on the travel market is laden with substantiated malaise and apprehension and there are harrowing indications – from the world around us – of a noticeable decline in tourist arrivals.

The stakes are high and if this global financial trend continues, without economic diversification, these inflationary consequences will increase TCI’s vulnerability to internal shocks, which ultimately will undermine prospects for longterm economic growth.

Why wait TCI? Let’s lead the way on Green energy

It may seem farfetched for a small developing nation like TCI, but I’m optimistic we could lead the way by becoming an all-green country.

As a small island nation, we should be taking advantage of the proven cutting-edge technology that’s out there, such as wind power, or solar energy which are alternatives to burning fossil fuels.

Our country is in a good position to become a trailblazer in this arena and not just a follower of the free world.

For this dream to become a reality and take shape, every developer would have to contribute a small percentage of their profits to a green energy fund.

With TCI being blessed with

sunshine practically 365 days out of the year, and strong eastwardly winds particularly on the island of Grand Turk, we are in a position to generate either solar or wind power.

With the ongoing war in Ukraine, we have seen the geopolitical landscape of global energy production changing very rapidly.

It’s a perfect storm to push for green energy, especially in Caribbean countries.

With that being said, a sizable investment in this area will be well worth it in the long run.

Let’s use Uruguay as an example, a relatively small country in South America. In 2020, over 40% of their electricity capacity and generation were derived from solar and wind power. So what can we learn from them?

I strongly believe small countries like the TCI with relatively low levels of energy consumption can also champion such an initiative.

Big energy companies like Fortis Inc. with approximately $58b in total assets, should be in a position to step up to the plate and provide

a broader market of solar-driven power in TCI. It’s doable because, for many years, FortisTCI has had the monopoly and made a fortune on the backs of our people.

A starting point should be slowly eliminating those existing diesel generators, ramping up the project by burying power lines and taking on a stronger role in supporting more homes on the “UORE” programme etc.

For readers who aren’t familiar with the “UORE” programme, these are customers who have been outfitted with solar panels to power their homes. These customers are also eligible to receive a monthly fixed credit from FortisTCI, for

rooftop space and an annual variable incentive based on system production.

It should be noted, that FortisTCI is playing a much more active role within our communities with respect to the recent launch of a scholarship apprenticeship programme which is commendable.

I still believe more can be done, such as FortisTCI working in tandem with the government and other NGOs to provide solar training classes at the local community colleges, opening more investment opportunities, etc.

Government should also push big corporations like Carnival and CONTINUED 

Children – probably not – Eight reasons I’ve considered vasectomy

Deciding to have children is one of the most important decisions one may have to make. While some people dream of starting a family, others like myself dread the idea of becoming a parent.

Isn’t it scary to be deemed responsible for the livelihood of another human being? Here are eight reasons why I’ve considered vasectomy.

I know I am going to upset a few people, primarily, my parents and I am not, in any shape or form discrediting those who have decided to bring children into the world. However, like anything else in the world, the alternative viewpoint equally deserves its own merit.

Creating a family isn’t for everyone. In fact, parenthood can be quite overwhelming so I am boldly looking at taking the alternative route. Here’s why.

NO MORE SPONTANEOUS TRAVELING

When you have children, you cannot just hop on a plane because you feel like going on a quick getaway to Cuba. There is a lot of planning and preparation that goes into booking a vacation.

Travelling with kids requires a great deal of patience and a good

bit of luck. Before you even book a trip, you have to make sure that the hotel is child-friendly and that the trip falls on a school break.

Don’t you just want to go to Bali with bae just because?

FEAR TO REGRET

Hold on, allow me to explain what I mean by that. There are people who have had children because they were worried they might regret not having children. FOMO, fear of missing out, doesn’t only pertain to social media but to couples without children as well.

Being a parent may seem like a fun, joyous time but it can be very stressful and difficult. It takes a lot of hard work and patience to raise a well-rounded human being. I look at my parents and their lives could have been a ton better children-less.

RUIN YOUR SEXUAL LIFE

New parents have a million-andone thing to do and most of the time, intimacy is at the very bottom of the list. That could be one of the reasons why doctors tell new mothers to wait at least three months before having sex after giving birth. An estimated 85% of women only start having sex because they are concerned about their partner’s sexual needs, rather than their own. No thanks!

YOU WILL NEVER BE YOURS AGAIN

From the second you find out you and your partner are pregnant, you instantly start sharing your life with your child.

This is especially true during pregnancy. If you are the mother,

your baby essentially experiences everything you experience during those nine months. After childbirth, you can kiss most of your favourite hobbies goodbye.

The majority of your time will be spent thinking about someone other than yourself. I understand the sheer happiness a child can bring into one’s life_I am quite excited to experience such love from my nephews/nieces.

DULL CONVERSATIONS

Having full-blown conversations about Peppa Pig is far from what I want in life. Raising a child is straining enough as it is, debating about the impact of television in early child development and mermaid theme birthday parties will drive me to an early grave.

OVERPOPULATION

Let’s face it, the planet is severely suffering from insufficient resources.

House sharing amongst 40-years-olds is a thing, traffic is another and you’ve got to queue to get to the bathroom.

Surely this is a sign! I want to play no part in exposing another human being to this fossilburning, tree cutting and the dogeat-dog world we call earth. Not today.

CHILDREN ARE EXPENSIVE

Children come with a whole new level of expenses that most parents don’t even realise. As of 2019, the average cost to raise a child from birth until the age of 17 is $240,000. That may not seem like a lot because it doesn’t even include university, afterschool activities, birthday parties, presents and pocket money.

Imagine if you have four children!

That is nearly a million-dollar investment. You could have paid the mortgage off by now.

MARRIAGES SUFFER

If you think your marriage is rock solid, just wait until you bring a child into it. Adding another element into the relationship can be disastrous. Parenthood tends to have a negative effect on marriages due to the conflicts that arise from reorganising roles in the relationship. Researchers have also found that the more children there are in the family, the unhappier the marriage could be. Take the hint, buy a second home in St Lucia instead.

TCI officially welcomed to Blue Belt Programme during UK event Minister of Tourism and the Environment, Hon Josephine Connolly recently travelled to the United Kingdom to attend a World Ocean’s Day event celebrating the work of UK Overseas Territories within the Blue Belt Programme.

Recently it was announced that the Turks and Caicos Islands is the first UK Overseas Territory in the Caribbean to join the UK Government’s flagship marine conservation programme, and that money had already been allocated to the territory to assist in its conservation efforts.

While in the UK, the minister met with Lord Goldsmith, Minister for Pacific and the Environment at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office during the day of activities and used the opportunity to make a presentation on the topic “Small Islands Big Impacts”.

During the presentation, she thanked the UK Government for the opportunity to highlight the work of her team in environmental management and conservation.

The Minister further addressed the challenges, the work related to

Hon Josephine Connolly with Lord Goldsmith, Minister for Pacific and the Environment at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office climate change, legislative review, partnerships and the way forward.

As part of her presentation, the minister said: “This programme will directly benefit the Turks and Caicos Islands, ensuring that marine protection brings lasting benefits to the marine environment and local communities for future

“From this partnership, we will be purchasing a new catamaran vessel that will be used in demarcating park boundaries and swim zones. The vessel will also be used for conducting industryleading research in our waters to help improve our knowledge

and management of this precious resource”.

The Blue Belt Programme will support work to protect TCI reefs, as well as the wider marine environment of TCI, which faces the impacts of both global and local threats from climate change to illegal fishing.

The Minister noted that the Turks and Caicos Islands prides itself being the third-largest barrier reef in the world, having set aside one-third of the territory in protected areas.

Deputy Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Tourism, Ronlee James and Director of Environment and Coastal Resource (DECR) Lormeka Williams accompanied the minister.

They both attended the UK Overseas Territories Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUVs) Network meeting on June 1, ahead of the World Ocean Day event.

That meeting discussed the BRUV’s programme which will be launched in the TCI in August.

This work will be key in the continued work of the DECR on fishery stock assessments and reef

health.

Support from Blue Belt includes: • Work to monitor and conduct research into tackling coral diseases, such as Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, that is impacting reefs across the Caribbean.

• The creation of a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) covering over half of TCIs Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This new MPA will act as a sanctuary for key species such as sharks and rays, protecting them from human activities.

• Work to prevent illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing. IUU fishing has been a challenge for the TCI Government over recent years, and Blue Belt will work to strengthen enforcement regimes through enhanced data analysis, informing more strategic patrols, and funding more capacity onisland and • Monitor, manage and minimise the impact of human activities such as tourism and marine pollution (such as plastics) across the TCI.

The recovered gun and ammunition

Cops find high-powered gun after highway accident Last weekend, police recovered a loaded high-powered gun near the scene of a two-vehicle crash along Millennium Highway in Blue Hills.

According to police, the collision occurred on Saturday, June 18, at about 12:37 am.

Upon receiving reports to the police control room, officers on patrol were immediately dispatched to the scene, where they made initial inquiries that revealed

that one of the drivers involved in the accident fled the scene in a separate vehicle.

The officers reportedly saw the driver who had remained on the scene, limping as a result of the collision. However, he refused medical assistance, despite complaining of pain.

Police made further inquiries and learned that the driver was not the holder of a valid Turks

and Caicos Islands Driver’s license. As such, he was warned of intended prosecution for the offences of unlicensed driving and the use of a motor vehicle without insurance.

Some 20 minutes later, while still on the scene, officers received information from the 911 Control Room that led to them calling for support from other officers.

Police then conducted a search

of the surrounding area of the collision site, and during the search, they recovered a long-arm firearm with a magazine loaded with ammunition.

The driver was cautioned and arrested for carrying a firearm and ammunition.

He is currently in police custody as the investigation continues.

Acting Commissioner of Police, Rodney Adams commended his

officers for their outstanding work, with special mention for the Force Silver Commander at the time, whose leadership and diligence effected the safe recovery and removal of this high-powered, illegal firearm, which has no place in the community.

Adams said this is another success as the Police Force continues the work to keep all communities safe.

TCI Government focused on building postCovid resilience & sustainability – Premier To ensure a strong and durable post-Covid-19 recovery, the Turks and Caicos Islands Government is gearing its efforts towards embedding resilience and sustainability measures into every sector of the territory’s economy.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented socio-economic changes, ushering in a “new normal” way of living and human interaction.

It dealt a devastating blow to economies around the world including the Turks and Caicos Islands.

However, as the TCI continues to make notable strides in its recovery, Premier Hon Charles Washington Misick said “building resilience” is imperative to sustaining these gains.

Misick made these remarks, during an interview conducted by

Premier Hon Charles Washington Misick a regional journalist, Mr Julian Rogers, which aired during the CDB’s 52nd Annual Meeting, held in the Turks and Caicos Islands from June 14 – 16.

When asked about the government’s priorities as it emerges from the grips of the pandemic Misick said: “Our focus is on building resilience and

sustainability and that involves focusing on ensuring that there’s not only sustainability in terms of the economy, but also in terms of our sensitive environment, which is very much tied to the economy, everyone in these islands make the living off the natural capital and the economy.

“So we're very concerned about

TCI Hospital offers educational summer programmes for 2022 The Turks and Caicos Islands Hospital announce its annual educational summer Ready and Clinic Observership programmes which are scheduled to run this July.

Both programmes intend to raise awareness of healthcare careers and to help improve local capacity in the long term.

The ready observership programme offers third-form students from both public and private schools, a behind-the-scenes look and in-depth knowledge about professions in health care delivered over five days.

The programme commences on Monday, July 11 and will run until July 15, with feature practical and theory presentations by health care workers.

The Clinic Exploration programme targets students pursuing healthcare-related courses at a tertiary level institution and ordinarily resides in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

This is a 10-day event, from July 18 to July 29. It comprises onsite sessions that include a skills lab on phlebotomy, suturing, vital signs, manual handling, applying splints, and Heart Saver, and Basic Life Support training.

There will also be a 20-minute presentation for participants at the conclusion of the programme.

Commenting on the programmes was Acting Chief of Medical Services Dr Sani Amatti: "Our summer programme offers youngsters a great opportunity to gain meaningful experience in a hospital setting.

"An opportunity to explore career opportunities in health and medicine. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. They will engage with physicians and other healthcare associates from various medical disciplines within the organisation while learning about the everyday aspects of their speciality areas.”

Chief Executive Officer of the TCI Hospital, Dr Denise Braithwaite-Tennant, stated: "For the past nine years except for 2020 because of COVID-19, we have always looked forward to hosting a group of talented young people who are interested in the plethora of fields in health and medicine.

“We want to mentor our young people and motivate them to be innovative, creative, empathetic and caring, think critically, and be passionate while elevating their awareness about careers within the hospital.

“Human capital is the most important asset for healthcare and there remains a global shortage further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic similar to other hospitals, we have faced significant challenges recruiting health care workers, especially nurses.”

She added: “The World Health Organization estimates a projected shortfall of 18 million health workers by 2030, mostly in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

“It is therefore imperative that

we continue to intentionally create opportunities for our young people to engage with us and promote careers in health care."

Parents and students can visit the hospital’s social media pages and website to register no later than July 4. The hospital is encouraging student participants to be vaccinated to participate in both programmes.

ensuring that that is preserved, but also creating and keeping a good social balance, the Turks and Caicos depend largely on foreign labour and so we've got issues of housing and all of those kinds of things that we've got to focus on to ensure that the environment is not degraded and the five-star destination that we're known for, is maintained.”

The territory’s leader emphasised that his Government is looking to better integrate climate change into all strategies to strengthen disaster resilience in infrastructure, emergency response, disaster risk financing, and other safety nets.

“So those are some challenges, but I think we've designed and are designing solutions and approaches to ensure that our economy and social and environmental sectors are sustainable”.

Misick said that developing the territory’s human capital, improving the quality of life for its citizens, and managing inflationary pressures are other areas of major focus for his administration.

“Another big issue at the moment is price, inflation…the social quality of life issues, so what my budget includes a lot of is how do we protect the vulnerable, so people are looking for social assistance, we've up the level of assistance, investing huge amount of money in scholarships, grants, and full scholarships and investing in education.

“We just acquired property to accommodate the TVET’s

expansion, and we’re setting up a well-functioning hospitality school.

“So the focus is on human capital development, improving the social situation of the public, and also investing heavily in infrastructure.

“Because I believe that wealth is created by the private sector and the Government distributes it, but it's created by the private sector and the private sector needs to have solid, dependable sustainable infrastructure in order to run on and develop that wealth.”

Reflecting on the territory’s Covid-19 experience and swift economic rebound, Misick said it was accelerated by several contributing factors including significant support from the United Kingdom.

He said: “We had assistance from the United Kingdom, we got the vaccine early, our population responded quickly.

“So we ramped our vaccination rate up to about 80%, by the end of summer 2021, I think it would be.”

He pointed out that the territory’s financial reserves cushioned some of the blow and allowed the government to extend a helping hand to the populace during that difficult time.

“And then, of course, the fact that we entered the Covid with significant reserve, we were able to really preserve life and livelihood by actually assisting the population through stimulus grants and other assistance, so yeah, we've done very well, through Covid,” he added.

Why wait TCI? Let’s lead ...

Beaches resort to make a greater effort to reduce their carbon footprint.

Instead of just touting our reliance on more brickand-mortar investments, our government should embrace a wider vision and lead the way on this initiative to help improve our basic infrastructure.

TCI can become the envy of the Caribbean by starting with investments in solar-powered vehicles, solar lights, green building materials, acquiring green buses to support public transportation etc.

By investing in green buses, the health and safety of our citizens would also be at a lesser risk from harmful emissions.

Furthermore, not only will it be cost savings to consumers, but the spin-off will result in more

job creation.

We must act now! If not, in the near future, we could be faced with potentially devastating consequences, such as changes in the rainy seasons, longer droughts and increasing intensity of hurricanes as we have seen over the past 10 or so years.

It’s time to get out of our comfort zone and diversify our energy portfolio.

Let’s not continue to put all of our eggs in one basket as we do with our tourism sector.

Let’s not wait to be broadsided again like we were with the Covid-19 pandemic, which disrupted our way of life and significantly impacted our fragile tourism economy.

Let’s challenge our politicians who will dare to muster up the courage to put this front and

centre on their agenda.

Big oil companies continue to reap the profits while energy consumption around the world soar and the power cost adjustment in TCI keeps getting higher.

With that being said, there has never been a more crucial time for our country to explore green energy on a larger scale.

We must get serious about clean energy and chart a path toward a fossil-free future.

The aim and objective should be to strengthen our country economically and the resolve of our people.

This is also a great way to draw down carbon emissions, while supporting the global initiatives to combat climate changes, giving everyone access to clean energy.

Minister with responsibility for Agriculture Hon Josephine Connolly (middle) and staff of the Agriculture Department

A number of residents attended the launch

Online plant clinic aims to revolutionise farming in the TCI

Infographic illustrates how to access the online plant clinic

Residents in the TCI can now find out which diseases or pests are afflicting their plants with just a photograph.

This is as a result of the Department of Agriculture recently launched “Online Plant Health Clinic” to help diagnose and suggest effective and environmentally sensitive remedies for plants.

Speaking at the launch which was held at the Department of Agriculture, Downtown Providenciales on Thursday last, the Minister of Tourism & Environment with responsibility

Wilhelmina Kissoonsingh urged residents to utilise the service and to visit the “Department of Agriculture TCI” Facebook page.

She also encouraged residents who are involved in any type of farming to make contact with the department for assistance.

A number of commercial and backyard farmers who were present at the launch participated in an exercise to identify common insects and pests found in TCI. Farmers received prizes including insecticides and farming

for Agriculture, Hon Josephine Connolly, highlighted the importance of the clinics to the Government's overall effort to promote agriculture development in the TCI. She said: “We know persons might have problems in their garden with pests, diseases, and poor plant nutrition. This can lead to regular and often significant losses and death to your plants.

“You might get frustrated and don’t want to plant anymore, well, I am here today to say help is here”.

She pointed out that the

dynamics of farming are changing rapidly and more is being done locally to stimulate interest and growth in this sector.

“This week we met with the President of the African Development Bank who spoke about how sharing agriculture information to farmers using mobile phones and the online platforms is transforming the agriculture sector, it is the direction the world is going and we are also embracing the technology”, Connolly added.

Director of Agriculture-

gear for providing correct answers.

To access the “Online Plant Health Clinic”, take a picture of the disease in your garden, upload that picture to the Department of Agriculture TCI Facebook page and staff will diagnose your problem.

In an effort to bring wider awareness to the diseases or pests identified from a submission, a diagnosis of the problem will be shared through recorded video on the third Thursday of every month for all residents to access.

Victims and witness protection unit to be launched in TCI The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in collaboration with the Criminal Justice Stakeholder’s Group (CJSG) is gearing up to launch the TCI Victims and Witnesses Support Unit on Friday, June 24th, at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex, Providenciales.

The launch of the Unit will highlight why and how the interest and victims should be prioritised in the territory.

The Unit when brought into fruition will work to regain the trust and confidence of victims and witnesses in the criminal justice system, and sensitise the public about their civic, moral and legal obligations not only to report a crime but also to assist in bringing

the perpetrators to justice by testifying.

An effective witness protection programme is deemed to be an essential component of a comprehensive criminal justice response to protecting those who are key to dismantling crime.

According to a statement from the government, under the leadership of the Chief Justice, Hon Justice Mabel Agyemang, the Criminal Justice Stakeholders’ Group has committed to implementing a criminal justice delivery agenda that would do more to “speed up the wheel of justice, protect and care for victims of crimes and their families, respect and safeguard the rights of offenders, and above

all, secure public confidence in the administration of criminal justice in TCI”.

In this regard, significant strides continue to be made and one of the achievements coming out of the group is the establishment of the Victims and Witnesses Support Unit.

Other members of the Criminal Justice Stakeholders’ Group include Hon Justice Shiraz Aziz, The Hon Attorney General, Director of Public Prosecutions, Commissioner of The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, Director of the Department of Social Development, Superintendent of The Department of Corrections, and Rehabilitation, The Hon Chief Magistrate,

Registrar of the Supreme Court and a representative of The Turks and Caicos Islands Bar. HEAVY INVESTMENTS The establishment of the Unit is a critical component in the execution of timely trials, according to Police Commissioner Trevor Botting, who said the Force is making heavy investments in this regard.

In April, during an interview, he had said that the force would “try and keep our victims and our witnesses engaged with the trial, because we understand the fear that exists, even if it's not real, it's a very close community, the TCI”.

He had added, “So people will

know and unfortunately, people also chatter about it, which doesn't help them, that level of fear”.

In this vein, he emphasised that the force is also making a concerted effort to deliver better service to victims and witnesses.

“Part of it is a better engagement with them to keep them more up to date.

“I get a lot of complaints from victims or witnesses, who feel they don't get the level of engagement, they give a statement to a crime, particularly as a victim, and then we are not as good in keeping them up to date.

“If you're a victim, that's the one person who should be kept more up to date with the progress of their crime”.

Promoting mental health support in the workplace

BY ALCES DOR Psychologist For comments, please, contact the author: 1649-242-4551 Email: alcesdor@yahoo.com WHAT IS A WORKPLACE? A workplace is a location where a group of conscious individuals works collectively to execute a task. The workplace can be congenial, collaborative, passionate, and creative. On the other hand, it can be synonymous with hell on earth. The workplace is a location where we spend most of our conscious time. Therefore, nothing can be more dangerous than a frustrated worker. This article is an attempt to elaborate on the importance of mental health in the workplace.

A COMMON APPROACH OF MANAGERS IN THE WORKPLACE One common strategy managers seem to use to tame down frustrations in the workplace is to hold a debriefing in which an authoritative tone commands employees to leave their frustrations at the gates. But critical thinkers in human behaviours believe if it was that easy, employees would be more than happy not only to leave their frustrations at the gates but to bury them in the poet’s corner; when they reflect on the tremendous pains that the potential stressors inflict on them.

People go through issues in life every day that impact their behaviours significantly. One of the issues that employees are struggling with is the balance of life and work. Relationships have a significant impact on work and vice-versa. Therefore, the healthier the employees, physically and mentally, the more productive the organization is. But the great danger is when employers consider the physical condition of the employees and neglect their mental well-being. Human beings’ behaviour is a direct product of their minds. Employers must have a holistic approach to their employees to encourage productivity.

WHO IS CONCERNED? A worker is a conscious individual who joins an organisation with his/her own personality, and life’s issues which make the workplace very contagious. Therefore, establishing a workplace culture that promotes mental health support is beneficial to every organisation. Everyone is concerned about this important issue. For example, police officers, immigration officers, civil servants behind government desks, a few guys on a fishing boat, and the very nice ladies and gentlemen in the hotels who are making sure that the guests receive the service they deserve to keep our economy flourishing, the pilots who fly the airplanes day and night with men, women, and children on board, and not limited to the government officials who are legislators.

THE BENEFIT OF MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE Don’t be afraid to invest in your employees’ mental well-being because it will be rewarded with four-fold advantages. World Mental Health Federation held an expo some years ago in the Bahamas under the theme, “Mental Health in the Workplace.”

Dr Thompson famously said to the gathering, “A $1 investment in the treatment of depression or anxiety leads to a return of $4 in better health and the ability to work.” It implies greater returns in reducing absenteeism (employees frequently absent due to illness) and presenteeism (at work, but ill and distracted), as well as disability claims and lost productivity.

IN CONCLUSION Employees can be more productive in the workplace when their mental well-being conditions are met. Employers should not be regretting a bit for investing in their employee’s well-being because it generates more returns on production. Be cognizant that no human being is spared from mental health trouble. In fact, the higher you go the greater are your risks.

Current and former presidents of three Multilateral Development Bank (MDBs)

Partnerships crucial to advance Caribbean’s development – MDBs heads Partnerships will be the linchpin for advancing development to better the lives of Caribbean people.

This point was recently underscored by four current and former presidents of three Multilateral Development Bank (MDBs) during the Caribbean Development Bank’s (CDB’s) President’s Chat, of the 52nd Annual Meeting recently held in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

A virtual discussion featured current and former CDB Presidents Dr Gene Leon and Dr Warren Smith as well as President of the European Investment (EIB) Bank Dr Werner Hoyer and President of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) Mauricio ClaverCarone.

Discussants stressed that collaboration whether between multilateral development banks (MDBs) or private sector or even between institutions and philanthropic entities will be vital to the region’s advancement.

President of the CDB, Dr Leon underscored that access to adequate and affordable finance is the “biggest challenge in the Region today” in trying to address “extremely huge” and competing needs so it can become “a place of choice where future generations want to live”.

He said: “Given the magnitude of the problem that we are looking to fix, it’s quite clear that we cannot do it by ourselves, and I say that to underline that the only way we can tackle the problem is through … strategic partnerships with the private sector, with investors, knowledge creators, institutions”.

He pointed out that partnerships, therefore, become the foundation to allow the banks and by extension its membership to advance holistic development with adequate and

affordable finance.

“If you have a trillion-dollar problem, you can’t solve it with a million-dollar solution.

And since we have a million dollars, but we need a trillion dollars, there is no way we can get there without crowding in and therefore is the need for partnerships – domestic and external, public, and private, institutional and even philanthropic as a means of taking us to the next point”.

ACCESSING CONCESSIONAL FINANCING Former President Dr Warren Smith noted that strategic partnering with other, larger, MDBs had served CDB and its Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) well during his tenure especially as it relates to accessing concessional financing to explore climate action and sustainable energy initiatives.

“We also learned that accessing concessional resources is not easy.

Each source of funding has its own set of rules and processes.

“It is iterative, time and resource-consuming for a small institution like CDB with even smaller BMCS. “Collaboration with larger and better-resourced development agencies gives the region the access to the required resources.”

He also pointed to successful collaborations with the European Union, and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development and the IADB on climate action and geothermal energy exploration projects.

Echoing similar sentiments, EIB President Dr Werner Hoyer suggested collaborating with private capital to boost development.

He said: “We invented, for

instance, the first green bonds in 2007. At that time it was considered a lunatic idea.

“This lunatic idea is now enormously heavy [with] trillions of dollars in the market. Building on this, I think we can play a role, together with CDB, in catalysing investment also in the Caribbean” Dr Hoyer stressed that there is enormous potential for guarantees and other risk-sharing instruments to incentivise more private capital.

“As a matter of fact, when I talk to asset holders, to investors, they are actively searching for opportunities to invest in these fields. I think the money is waiting on the streets to be picked up by us to catalyse it into productive investments,” he urged.

Increasing market interest in ESG (environment, social and governance), was recommended

by IADB President Claver-Carone.

He said: “The recovery of Latin America and the Caribbean will be private sector-led,” he said success needed to start with “realising the scale of the opportunity.

“We’re seeing the analytics. In 2021, I think it was 120 billion that was poured into sustainable investments. … Black Rock has done a survey - over 50 per cent of investors are considering the sustainable investment.

“That’s critical. Investors are going to double that proportion of sustainable investments in their portfolios… it’s [going to be] almost 40% by 2025. I mean, this is proving to generate higher returns and so we’re seeing the estimates that the sustainable equity funds are outperforming traditional peer funds by almost five points. We have to expect that this is going to become an even greater force in the future,” he outlined.

Turks and Caicos Islands National Insurance Board Providing social insurance protection you can depend on

UNDERSTANDING HOW THE NEW UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

Benefit Works

By Walter F L Gardiner Project Manager In November 2020, in response to the unfavorable prevailing economic impact of COVID-19 on the working population of the Turks and Caicos Islands, the National Insurance Board introduced a Temporary Unemployment Benefit Assistance Program (TUBAP). This benefit allowed eligible persons who had become involuntarily unemployed due to the fallout of COVID-19 to receive 50% of their average weekly insurable earnings up to a maximum of eight weeks, paid as a lump sum.

The purpose of providing this benefit was to alleviate the financial burdens of as many unemployed and underemployed persons as possible as hundreds of employers and self- employed persons at that time had, temporarily or indefinitely: • • • • •

Closed their doors Laid off staff Introduced Shift Work Systems Reduced hours / days of work Introduced Work From Home Operations

During the period November 2020 -November 2021, the National Insurance Board paid out over $3.9 million in Temporary Unemployment Benefit Assistance to some 2,621 persons throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands without any increase in the contribution

rate.

Although a temporary benefit, based on the response from our beneficiaries, this benefit was indeed very timely and greatly appreciated, providing a life-saving source of funds for many who were unable to make ends meet at that time to pay electricity/ rent/ mortgage/ personal loans, put food on their tables….

As a responsible and caring social security institution, we must continue to make decisions in the best interest of our contributors and beneficiaries; we must be proactive rather than reactive, prepared and positioned to protect our working population from future temporary losses of employment through no fault of their own.

Royal Navy ship to be deployed to Caribbean in hurricane season THE Royal Navy ship HMS Protector will be deployed to the region from 1 Aug. to provide hurricane and disaster relief capabilities, Cayman Islands Governor Martyn Roper announced Wednesday.

The warm waters of the Caribbean Ocean will be a change for the vessel, which is the Royal Navy’s only Ice Patrol Ship.

According to the Royal Navy website, the HMS Protector “calls the freezing waters of Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere home”.

If storm predictions prove to be accurate, the crew on board may find that their assistance will be needed. This year’s hurricane season is predicted to be another above-average season, for the seventh consecutive year.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, is forecasting between 14 to 21 named storms, of which up to 10 could develop into hurricanes, and between three to six could become major hurricanes of category 3, 4 or 5.

HMS Protector is capable of producing freshwater supplies and has pre-loaded emergency relief stores on board, including emergency generators and building materials. It also has a small

HMS Protector is capable of producing fresh water supplies and has pre-loaded emergency relief stores on board medical facility and medical stores.

The crew includes engineers, logistics personnel and a relief team.

The Navy describes the ship as its “Swiss army knife – red, versatile, and always there when you need her”.

As well as the HMS Protector being able to offer disaster-relief assistance in the region if the need arises, the governor said there are other “extensive capabilities held at readiness in the UK, should they

be required”.

A statement issued by the Governor’s Office said, “In the lead up to the 2022 hurricane season, the UK Government has continued to work closely with Cayman and other OT Governments to ensure robust preparations and plans are in place. The UK hosted a prehurricane season conference in Miami with disaster response experts from all the Overseas Territories in the region to enhance preparations and improve co-

ordination for the season ahead.”

Earlier this month, as part of hurricane preparations in Cayman, the Governor’s Office arranged for an eight-member strong UK Ministry of Defence team from Joint Forces HQ to visit the islands for 10 days for familiarisation and to take part in a desktop crisis exercise.

“That enabled them to fully understand how they could embed themselves in our National Emergency Operations Centre during a crisis to coordinate UK support with Cayman’s response and determine where UK support was needed,” the statement noted.

“The UK team were impressed with the capability and experience of Hazard Management Cayman Islands, Cayman’s state of readiness and preparedness and the valuable crisis experience the jurisdiction gained during Covid.

This means we are in good shape as we approach another hurricane season.”

The Cayman Islands Regiment will also be called into action if a hurricane or other disaster occurs.

The Governor’s Office said the regiment had grown in “strength and capability”, and had added new skill sets this year, and is now able to “quickly set up a self-sufficient

camp with their own power generation, desalinate sea water, cook meals for hundreds, conduct first aid/medivacs and clear roads of trees/debris as a part of a coordinated disaster response”.

At the end of last year, Lieutenant Theo Kelly of the Cayman Islands Regiment spent some time deployed to the Royal Navy on the patrol ship HMS Medway, to help develop the UK and Cayman humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations partnership.

“Hurricane preparedness in the Overseas Territories remains a top priority for both Cayman and the UK Government who stand ready to provide critical aid and support if needed,” Roper said in the statement. “Having HMS Protector in the region during the core hurricane season strengthens our disaster response and complements our own hurricane season preparations ably led by Hazard Management Cayman Islands.

“Cayman has a proud record of supporting other countries and Overseas Territories in the region whether sending aid or our Police helicopter and personnel (which went to TCI and The Bahamas in recent years). We stand ready to support should the need arise.”

Haiti mourns 11 women from fatal voyage near Puerto Rico The caskets were rolled in one by one, lined up in front of friends and family who had no idea that many of the 11 Haitian girls and women they were preparing to bury had decided to flee their country.

They were teenagers, mothers, students, university graduates, all aboard a grossly overloaded boat that capsized last month in the open waters northwest of Puerto Rico.

It was one of the deadliest voyages in the region in recent months. The boat was carrying an estimated 60 to 75 migrants, of which 11 were found dead, at least a dozen are still missing and 38 were rescued — 36 of them Haitians fleeing a deeply unstable country fighting a surge in poverty and violence.

Mourners held aloft their phones at the church and rainy cemetery Wednesday as they live streamed the Mass and burials on social media. They zoomed in on certain caskets for families back in Haiti who couldn’t afford to fly to Puerto Rico and for Haitian migrants living illegally on the U.S. mainland who feared being arrested if they travelled but longed to say goodbye to the

victims, including two girls, ages 15 and 16.

“Today we bury their remains, but not their lives and hope,” said one of five priests officiating the ceremony as one man attending the service closed his eyes tightly before tears began to form.

That man, Pierrot Samedi, lost his 23-year-old sister as well as six cousins on the voyage who were never found. He flew to Puerto Rico from West Palm Beach at the urging of local Haitian leader Leonard Prophil, who helped identify the bodies and who has housed and fed all those who arrived for the funeral.

“If you’ve never lived in Haiti, you don’t know what hardship is, you don’t know what misery is,” Prophil said.

The country of more than 11 million people is fighting a 180% increase in kidnappings and a 17% rise in homicides in the past year, according to the United Nations.

Dozens of people, including women and children, have been killed and raped in recent months as gangs fight over territory and gain more power following the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

It was one of the deadliest voyages in the region in recent months.

Tens of thousands of Haitians have lost their homes amid gang battles that also have shut down access to the country’s northern and southern regions, the latter still trying to recover from a magnitude 7.2 earthquake last August that killed at least 2,000 people.

Haiti’s worsening situation has prompted thousands to flee their country despite the dangers of illegal human smuggling trips that often turn deadly. Some pay

to cross the treacherous Mona Passage to reach Puerto Rico from the neighbouring Dominican Republic, while others are dropped off in Cuba, the Bahamas or the Turks and Caicos Islands in their quest to reach the U.S. In late May, more than 840 Haitians aboard one boat landed in Cuba, the largest such single arrival in recent history. Meanwhile, hundreds of Haitians have reached Florida in recent months after

swimming ashore.

U.S. authorities also have reported a big spike in the number of Haitian migrants detained throughout the Caribbean in comparison with previous years.

The vast majority of those traveling are men, which makes the death of the 11 women even more unusual.

Those mourning them said it’s inevitable that other fatal voyages will occur in upcoming months.

“This is not going to end,” said Samedi, who lost seven relatives in the most recent deadly voyage.

“It’s not the first one nor will it be the last one.”

Most migrants who die at sea and whose bodies are recovered are cremated, but Prophil, the local Haitian leader, said he and others fought for a proper burial because Haitians don’t believe in cremation and the bodies couldn’t be repatriated because of what they criticized as government bureaucracy.

They thanked embalmers, funeral homes and a clothing designer in Puerto Rico for donating their time and resources to help the women’s families in what turned out to be a farewell rarely seen after a deadly migrant voyage.

Bahamas: Electricity cost rise ‘pretty dangerous’ for economy Bahamian businesses this week warned any increase in electricity costs will be “pretty dangerous” for an economy still recovering from COVID-19’s devastation, although some said spiking global oil prices make such a hike “inevitable”.

The private sector reacted negatively to recent power outages and confirmation by Shevonn Cambridge, Bahamas Power & Light’s (BPL) newly-appointed chief executive that electricity costs are set to rise as the stateowned utility adjusts the fuel charge component of customer bills upwards in line with high global oil prices. Others said Bahamians will just have to “ride it out in the dark”.

Gregory Sherman, owner/ operator of G.S. Landscaping Company & Property Management, told Tribune Business he was troubled that BPL is threatening to increase electricity costs at a time when it still cannot keep the power on. “I have a problem when governments change. All of these power cuts and problems with BPL were supposed to be a thing of the past,” he added.

Mr Sherman voiced concern that BPL is still having to rely on rental generation leased from Sun Utilities, a subsidiary of BISX-listed FOCOL Holdings, and Aggreko, when its New Providence power generation woes were supposed to have been solved by the 2019 purchase of some 132 Mega Watts (MW) in new turbines/ engines from Wartsila.

However, Alfred Sears QC, minister of works and public utilities, who has responsibility for BPL, told the House of Assembly

The state-owned Bahamas Power & Light’s (BPL). during the recent Budget debate that the utility has delayed $15m in maintenance overhauls beyond summer 2022 “to manage cash”, while conceding that such practices have undermined generation “reliability”.

As a result, he explained that BPL’s current generation capacity of 241.1 Mega Watts (MW) cannot cover the island’s projected peak summer demand of 260 MW. Thus faced with a near-19 MW, or 7.3 percent, generation shortfall and the total absence of any spare capacity, BPL had no choice but to contract with Aggreko and Sun Utilities for the provision of a combined 83 MW in rental generation to minimise summer load shedding and outages.

Maintenance would allow for the proper cleaning of BPL’s

engines, removing excess debris, and enables them to function without any blockages or impediments that may take them offline. Mr Sherman said: “I was shocked as I listened to Alfred Sears and heard that they have gone back to rental generators again when we didn’t need to.

“We have more than sufficient power. We have a total of 350 MW of power, which is more than enough to carry us through the summer. We went through the summer months last year and there wasn’t a problem.”

Philip Darville, owner/operator of SolveIT, added of the impending increase in electricity costs: “I think the rate rise at BPL is inevitable.

The reality is I don’t think we have seen a fraction of the rising cost that our peers are experiencing

around the region.”

BPL, a state-owned enterprise, subsidises the Family Island islands through New Providence.

Mr Darville said this burden cannot continue to be placed on New Providence to keep BPL an operating and viable corporation.

“BPL can only be subsidised so much by the Government,” he added. “Something is going to have to give in raising costs or taxes or whatever.

“We may need to find a way to get fuel from one of our regional partners. Guyana has just now started to produce oil. Maybe we should create a partnership with them so we can get cheaper oil.

Other than that, the best thing we can do is continue to move towards renewable energy.

“But for now, we just have to be

prepared to ride it out in the dark nights because the reality is we’re consuming more than what’s being generated, and even with the deal for the rental generators there may be gaps if any of those units go down for some reason.”

Dr Kent Bazard, owner/operator of Empire Fitness, said it is “never a good time” to raise electricity rates. However, he acknowledged this was a possibility with global oil prices last night standing at $110.7 and $114.1 per barrel on the West Texas Intermediate and Brent Crude indices, respectively.

He added: “This is definitely going to have an impact on businesses, but hopefully this will be temporary. We are still on the road to recovery from the COVID-19 fall-out, so any rise on the cost of operating a business is pretty dangerous.”

Vasco Bastian, owner/operator of the Esso service station at the East Street and Soldier Road junction, said: “I don’t think this is the right time; I think the timing is off. We are just coming out of a pandemic. The Government hasn’t been in a year yet and the board at BPL was just now appointed.

“I think we need to give the Board and the new chief executive, Shevonn Cambridge, a chance to land on his feet, and I think the Board needs to sit down and really look at the overall picture of BPL in its current condition and the model that it has in providing electricity before they even suggest any type of increase for consumers at this time. Let’s work on power generation and distribution before we work on increasing the cost to consumers.” (Tribune242)

British Virgin Islands still at risk of direct rule by UK RULE over the British Virgin Islands (BVI) could still be taken over by the UK following a report that recommends a “review of discretionary powers” every four months.

The news comes after the Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, gave the east-Caribbean country and popular tax-haven country two years to implement a change in leadership after widespread claims of corruption rocked the government.

Former Premier, Andrew Fahie, was arrested on suspicion of drugsmuggling charges in April, which prompted current Premier Dr Natalio Wheately to succeed the disgraced former leader.

An earlier Commission of Inquiry (COI) Report,

spearheaded by ex-judge Sir Gary Hickinbottom, was published after the claims of corruption surfaced which first recommended that the BVI be directly ruled by the British temporarily.

The recommendations faced backlash from leading organisations throughout the Caribbean, including the CARICOM and the University of the West Indies who said the BVI should be given “full opportunity and autonomy” to resolve their own domestic issues.

The latest COI report, published on the 8th June, warned that the government would withdraw “powers where they are unnecessary; or, where they are considered necessary” leaving the democratic freedom of the BVI

hanging in the balance.

In an address in the House of Commons, Liz Truss said: “I believe, in the first instance, that the new Government should have an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to reform through the implementation of the 48 COI recommendations and the further measures they have proposed.

“The Governor and UK Government will monitor implementation and assess progress quarterly. Each BVI Government Ministry and Department will also provide a monthly report.

“The detailed implementation plan will be published by the GNU (Government of National Unity) in due course.

She added: “If it becomes clear that this approach is not delivering

the reform that the people of the BVI want and deserve, we will take action. This may require the swift implementation of the final report recommendation.”

The hard-hitting COI report made lengthy recommendations to address factors such as urgent reforms, investigations and medium-term measures to be imposed across the tropical island.

BVI residents have already slammed the British government’s plans to take over the nation, which still relies on them for defence and security, claiming that the move was only to continue to hoard trillions of pounds stashed away in the tax-haven island.

With the Caribbean country’s future remaining uncertain, Dr Wheatley recently came out to

criticise and “discourage” the leaking of a draft proposal between the island and the UK by a local media house as the two countries continue to hash out the future of the island.

Truss said: “The people of the BVI want and deserve change and have made their desire for better governance clear. Elected officials know this. We want to support the new Government in making this change and allow them the opportunity to reform. The Order in Council will provide the people of the BVI with complete reassurance that change will happen.

“We have a duty to protect the people of BVI from corruption, criminality and poor governance.

We will stand by them.” (Voiceonline.co.uk)

Half Russian separatist force dead or wounded - UK Russian and Russian proxy forces in the Donetsk region of Ukraine have suffered heavy casualties, according to UK intelligence officials.

They estimate the Donetsk militia alone has lost 55% of its original force.

Russian forces are focused on conquering all of neighbouring Luhansk, aiming to encircle the city of Lysychansk, say Ukrainian leaders.

Regional chief Serhiy Haidai said there had been “colossal destruction” in the city.

He said the situation in its sister city of Severodonetsk was “hell”, and quoted the mayor as saying some 7,000-8,000 civilians remained there.

UK military intelligence said Russia was very likely aiming to

deploy a large number of reserve units to Ukraine’s eastern Donbas, which is made up of Donetsk and Luhansk.

It drew attention to the “extraordinary attrition” suffered

by Russian and Russian proxy forces in Donbas. While Russia has for months avoided detailing its casualties, the human rights ombudsman in the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic said last week that 2,128 of its forces had been killed and 8,897 wounded.

A further 654 civilians had been killed, said Daria Morozova.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his late-night address on Tuesday that while Luhansk was currently the toughest area, the invading army was also “putting serious pressure on the Donetsk direction”.

Separatist fighters in Mariupol in March.

In a separate development, Russian forces fired seven missiles at the southern city of Mykolaiv on Wednesday, according to local leader Vitaliy Kim, who did not give details of casualties.

In its daily briefing, UK intelligence said the casualties suffered by Donetsk’s proxy militia amounted to 55% of its original force.

For months there have been reports of civilians being conscripted into the militia by force, with low morale and poor quality weapons, including rifles that went out of service decades

ago. Last month, Ukraine’s SBU security service claimed militiamen compared conditions to slavery and were ready to desert.

Disaffected former proxy officials such as Yevgeniy Mikhailov said last month that untrained reservists from Donetsk had been sent to the front line because Russia had stopped sending conscripts. One resident told the BBC last month that there had been “tragedies everywhere”.

This week the proxy administration said it was offering one-year contracts to foreign

mercenaries to join its forces.

Russia’s two proxy statelets are not recognised internationally.

In fact Moscow only recognised the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics two days before it invaded Ukraine in February. Last week the president of Kazakhstan said in front of President Vladimir Putin that he had no intention of recognising them.

Moscow city council announced on Wednesday that it had changed the address of the US embassy in the Russian capital, from Bolshoi Devyatinsky Lane to 1 Donetsk People’s Republic Square. (BBC)

Biden braces for Supreme Court to overturn Roe after months of planning for next steps PRESIDENT Joe Biden is bracing for a Supreme Court ruling that would strip away nationwide abortion rights in the US, potentially setting off mass protests and heaping pressure on the White House to act, according to officials, even as there remains little he can do through executive action to fully mitigate the anticipated decision.

The nearing announcement -which is expected to come within the next two weeks as the Supreme Court concludes its term -- will punctuate months of contingency planning at the White House and lobbying efforts by abortion rights advocates, who want Biden to take immediate action.

“We must be ready to stand as a united front when the decision comes down,” Vice President Kamala Harris told a group of reproductive rights leaders Wednesday in a videoconference.

While she described the myriad hurdles women could soon face when seeking abortions, Harris did not lay out in detail any actions the administration is prepared to take when a decision comes down.

Behind the scenes, the steps the President is considering include eliminating barriers to accessing medication abortion

Many persons in the US have protested for and against abortions. and challenging state laws that criminalise out-of-state travel to receive an abortion, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Harris has heard from privacy experts about how law enforcement could use period tracking apps to monitor for abortions and the possibility that embryo destruction could become more difficult for those who have in vitro fertilization. Advocates for communities of color and undocumented immigrants have raised specific concerns to the White House about women in those groups accessing abortion across state lines. And state

lawmakers have pressed for more federal resources to help manage what many describe as a looming crisis.

“We’re exploring every option to respond to the upcoming decision ... and to protect access to reproductive health care, including abortion,” White House Gender Policy Council Chair Jennifer Klein told Wednesday’s virtual meeting.

But with a federal law in place barring taxpayer funds from going toward abortion in most cases and a rash of state bans poised to take effect as soon as a Supreme Court ruling comes down, there remains little Biden can do that would

fundamentally restore the national right to end a pregnancy. And his calls for Congress to codify the right to abortion lack enough votes in the Senate.

That has left some advocates and lawmakers looking for rhetorical leadership from a President who has, at various points in his long career, shied away from a full embrace of abortion rights. He rarely uses the word “abortion” itself -- an absence his aides downplay but that advocates say is still symbolic.

“It’s time for this President -past time for this President and this administration -- to name what’s happening as a moral failing in this country and as a public health and human rights crisis. It’s beyond the point of playing politics. It’s time to say the word abortion out loud,” said New Mexico state Rep. Michaela Lara Cadena, who was one of six Western state lawmakers who joined a call with senior White House officials last week to discuss reproductive rights.

New Mexico, a state without any major types of abortion restrictions, stands to receive an influx of patients from neighboring states like Texas should the nationwide right to abortion be eliminated. Cadena’s appeal to the White House was to

be prepared to help states like hers as women seeking abortions travel there to look for them.

“It’s going to be a stretch for us to keep our doors and our clinics open for people coming from across the country. We are ready and our values are there, but it will be a stretch and to be real, this is decades in the making,” she said.

WHITE HOUSE KEEPS ITS CARDS CLOSE TO THE VEST The White House has been hesitant to reveal what executive actions the President is considering as the court nears the end of its term.

Biden himself skirted specifics when he told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel earlier this month that he was weighing steps should the justices strike down Roe v. Wade.

“There’s some executive orders I could employ, we believe. We’re looking at that right now,” he said in early June.

Alexandra LaManna, a White House spokeswoman, said Biden’s administration “continues to explore every possible option in response to the anticipated Supreme Court decision,” though she declined to name specific actions the President may take.

Uvalde school police chief suspended over botched response to gunman FOR weeks, the heartbroken families of children massacred in an Uvalde, Texas, elementary school have been calling for accountability over the delayed police action in tackling the gunman.

On Tuesday, the top Texas official in charge of the investigation described the response as an “abject failure.”

At the centre of the furore has been the school district’s police chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo.

On Wednesday, nearly a month after the horrific shooting, he was placed on leave.

“From the beginning of this horrible event, I shared that the district would wait until the investigation was complete before making personnel decisions,” Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell said in a statement.

“Today, I am still without details of the investigations being conducted by various agencies.

Because of the lack of clarity that remains and the unknown timing of when I will receive the results of the investigations, I have made the decision to place Chief Arredondo on administrative leave effective on this date,” he said.

Arredondo and responding law enforcement agencies have faced fierce criticism over the length of time officers were stationed in a hallway outside adjoining classrooms 111 and 112 at Robb Elementary, where an 18-year-

The shooting resulted in the death of 19 children and two adults. old gunman and the victims were located.

The gunman fired at responding officers in the first minutes of the shooting, two of whom received grazing wounds, according to an updated timeline from the Texas Department of Public Safety. Yet more than 70 minutes would elapse before the gunman was shot and killed by authorities who stormed the room.

Earlier this month, Arredondo told The Texas Tribune he didn’t consider himself the incident commander and did not instruct officers to refrain from breaching

the scene.

Berlinda Irene Arreola, the grandmother of shooting victim Amerie Jo Garza, spoke at a tense city council meeting Tuesday where Arredondo was not present.

The school police chief was elected to the council earlier this year and has stayed out of the public eye since the shooting.

“He failed us,” Arreola said of Arredondo to councilmembers.

“Do not make the same mistake he made and fail us too. Go forward and make it right ... please, please, we’re begging, get this man out of our lives.”

The council later unanimously voted to deny Arredondo a leave of absence from future council meetings, and the decision was met with applause from residents in attendance. According to the city’s charter, Arredondo could be removed from office if he fails to attend three consecutive city council meetings unexcused.

Arreola spoke with CNN Wednesday about the pain of losing 10-year-old Amerie as well as the subsequent fallout, with preliminary details from investigations indicating that more could have been done sooner.

“It’s getting harder and harder every day as far as missing her, the hurt that we feel. But also with the anger that’s unfolding before our eyes,” Arreola told CNN’s Brianna Keilar.

“We have to speak for all these children, all these families. We have to make things right, we need to get down to the bottom of everything that has happened and find out the truth.”

Amerie’s stepfather, Angel Garza, was a medical first responder to the scene of the shooting and told CNN Wednesday he did not understand how police failed to act when they were located outside the classroom, so close to the victims.

“I just don’t get how you can hear these kids crying and asking for help, but you’re scared to enter because your commander doesn’t want you to go in,” he said.

Parents, including himself, “were right outside” the school. “I was trying to get in, I was put into handcuffs,” he said, distraught that police he entrusted “didn’t save my daughter or any of the other kids.”

Arredondo testified to a Texas House committee behind closed doors on Tuesday regarding the day of the shooting and did not comment publicly. CNN has reached out to Arredondo’s attorney for comment.

Lieutenant Mike Hernandez is assuming the duties of the UCISD Chief of Police during Arredondo’s leave, according to the school district. (BBC)

Less than 100 days left to spend paper £20 and £50 notes The days of spending paper banknotes in the shops are numbered: 100 days (as of Thursday), to be exact - so start hunting at home.

Remaining paper £20 or £50 notes should be spent or deposited by the end of September, the Bank of England said.

An estimated 163 million paper £50 banknotes and about 314 million £20 paper notes were still in circulation, the Bank said.

These notes are being replaced with plastic versions, just like the £5 and £10 note, which are more durable.

The Bank said the newer, polymer notes were also harder to counterfeit.

“The majority of paper banknotes have now been taken out of circulation, but a significant number remain in the economy, so we’re asking you to check if you have any at home,” said the Bank’s chief cashier, Sarah John, whose signature is on the new notes.

From October, people with a UK bank account should still be able to

deposit the paper notes into their account or at the Post Office, but spending them will be impossible.

Paper £20 and £50 notes issued

by Clydesdale Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Scotland will also be withdrawn on the same date.

The paper £20 notes issued

by Bank of Ireland, AIB Group, Danske Bank, and Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland will also be withdrawn after 30 September.

CELEBRATING ALAN TURING The Bank of England’s paper £20 featuring economist Adam Smith has been in circulation since 2007, but has been gradually replaced by the plastic version which includes the work and portrait of artist JMW Turner.

Also being withdrawn is the paper £50 note which shows the manufacturers Matthew Boulton and James Watt. This entered circulation in 2011 but is now substituted for the polymer note featuring Alan Turing.

He helped accelerate Allied

These notes are being replaced with plastic versions. efforts to read German Naval messages enciphered with the Enigma machine, and so shortening World War Two and saving lives. He was also pivotal in the development of early computers, first at the National Physical Laboratory and later at the University of Manchester.

Turing was gay at a time when

homosexuality was illegal and he was convicted for having a relationship with a man. The government apologised for his treatment in 2009, and Turing received a posthumous Royal pardon in 2013. His appearance on the new £50 note has been welcomed by parts of the LGBT+ community as a symbol of a

country facing up to the way gay men were persecuted.

The polymer fiver featuring Winston Churchill launched in 2016, and the plastic £10 note including the portrait of Jane Austen was first issued in 2017.

All old paper banknotes can be exchanged by the Bank of England at any time. (BBC)

MoE launches landmark internship and apprenticeship programme

– programme aimed at university students and graduates

BY DELANA ISLES The government has launched an initiative that seeks to put more young people into jobs, encouraging young islanders who go off to study abroad to return to the Islands and contribute to its continued development.

On Tuesday, June 21, the Ministry of Education launched a national internship and apprenticeship programme in collaboration with the Department of Labour. Government has earmarked some $500,000 to launch the pilot programme.

The internship is for those who are still in school, while the apprenticeship is for those who have completed their studies, particularly tertiary education and are now transitioning to the world of work.

Representatives of several private sector companies were at the launch ceremony, hosted at the Ritz Carlton, Providenciales.

The event also served as a familiarisation session, informing representatives of businesses of the requirements and guidelines that will be applied to the programme.

Wesley Clerveaux, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education offered some clarity on the distinction between the aspects

of the programme for the benefit of the partner companies.

“The apprenticeship programme… is supposed to allow those students coming back from school to be understudying someone at the workplace until they find, possibly employment at your workplace, or elsewhere.

“So, we’re trying to partner so that students coming back from school can have the experience, the exposure, and so that you yourself – both the government and the private sector – would be able to see a gem that you can work with,” Clerveaux explained.

Minister of Education, Hon Rachel Taylor brought feature remarks at the landmark programme.

“This programme provides an avenue and pathway to success, a strategic mechanism implemented to bridge the gaps, to empower our youth, to transform lives, and achieve our human capital development mandates.”

The minister said it was because of this that the implementation of the programme was critical.

She said the launch progression and succession of the programme will allow her ministry to streamline its efforts regarding tracking TCI students from the commencement of their tertiary

Minister of Education, Hon Rachel Taylor fulfils one of the promises entailed in the Citizen’s Contract education to gaining suitable and permanent placement.

She added that this would also strategically allow Turks and Caicos Islanders to gain experience to assist them in almost seamless entrance into the workforce.

“This would by extension address our succession planning efforts to ensure continuity of service through the recruitment of the right people at the right time as persons move up and out of organisations.”

The minister thanked those businesses and organisations that were represented at Tuesday’s launch, saying: “I want to thank each and every one of you, you are our partners who are going to assist us in reaching our goals. I am so grateful for you being here today; and I’m quite sure that our interns will definitely be grateful for the opportunity that you will provide for them.”

She urged: “I want to be very intentional about what I

say, provide them with the right opportunities when they are on board with your organisation.”

Minister Taylor added that the launch is a true demonstration and testament to what hard work, commitment and collaboration can achieve.

“Our Citizen’s Contract, page 16, number six states: we are supposed to increase the employability of graduates at all levels to partnership with the private sector, and indeed today is a testament we are doing just that.

“And on page 22 of the people’s contract, number three – implement a national apprenticeship programme aimed at incentivising businesses to hire the young, provide them with practical experiences, training and certification in appropriate skills needed by the economy and better prepare them for the job market.

This programme again does just that.”

Deputy Premier, Hon Erwin Jay Saunders delivered remarks, speaking about his own experience as a summer apprentice for Providenciales Power Company Limited (PPC). An experience that spanned five summers and resulted in his first contractual job after completing his tertiary education.

Edwin Taylor, Commissioner of Labour offered in-depth information for those in attendance on the programme entails, who will benefit, how to partner and what the expectations are.

Also bringing remarks at the launching were HE Anya Williams, Deputy Governor, Minister Hon Akierra Missick, and representatives of the private sector.

Second behaviour change training for civil servants – stamping out corruption at the core of the sessions This past week, the Integrity Commission hosted a follow-up behaviour change seminar, aimed at promoting integrity, honesty and good faith in public life.

This is the second in a series of meetings that started in November 2021. Aimed at persons in public life, its mandate is to educate those who work in the public service on doing what is right.

The five-day seminar started on Monday, June 20, and

concluded on Friday.

Inherent in the Commission’s role in dealing with anticorruption is behavioural expectations; where specific behavioural outcomes are ultimately the desired end result, influencing the mindset, and its processes to transition from knowing the right thing—to doing it.

This week’s follow-up seminar was on Integrated Marketing Communication for Behavioural

Impact. It is purposefully directed at developing a strategic communication plan for behavioural impact regarding reducing corruption in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

A subset of the personnel from some ministries across government, and community and church leaders who received their certifications last year contributed to this process.

The seminar focused on incorporating integrated

communication marketing, which has been a proven approach to bridging the knowledge gap and achieving behavioural results in health and other development programmes.

Again, this year, the Consultant leading the seminars is Dr Everold Hosein, a Senior Communication Advisor with the World Health Organisation. He also consults for UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, and UNWOMEN. During the five-day session,

participants and the consultant engaged in conversations with various departments, using specialised communication tools learned during the seminar.

By the end of the workshop, the working team of participants, along with the consultant will contribute to a completed behavioural plan for presentation to the Integrity Commission for approval and implementation.

Turks and Caicos Islands Community College

TCI Community College Lauds Commendable TVET PLAR Assessment Results The Turks and Caicos Islands Community College TVET Institute have received the results from its inaugural cohort of participants which sat the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) Challenge Exam in February 2022.

WHAT IS PLAR? The Prior Learning Assessment Recognition (PLAR) is a certification pathway where experienced individuals in their respective fields are given the opportunity to obtain certification by producing stipulated evidence in the form of a portfolio or project as well as sitting a challenge exam.

Of the twenty-seven (27) participants that sat the PLAR Challenge Exam, twenty-three (23) were deemed fully competent in both the theory and practical aspects of the exam. This pass rate of 85% is indeed a celebratory occasion not only for TVET@TCICC but for the participants who worked assiduously to ensure their performances were aligned to the occupational standard and examination requirements of the National Council of Technical Vocational Education and Training (NCTVET) in Jamaica with whom the TVET@TCICC has an ongoing partnership.

Minister of Education, The Honourable Rachel Taylor observes Electrical Installation candidate Steve Michel during the February 2022 PLAR Exam

THE PASS RATE FOR EACH SKILL AREA IS AS FOLLOWS: • • • •

Level 1 Electrical installation – 72% Level 1 Customer Service – 90% Level 1 Commercial Food Preparation – 100% Level 2 Food and Beverage (Bartending) – 100%

Each participant is now eligible to receive their CVQ certificate from the accrediting body NCTVET under the HEART Trust NSTA. Thanks to the facilitators from Clement Howell High School and the Louise Garland Thomas High School who led the classes and guided students through the material. Your assistance was invaluable and contributed to students’ success.

The Honorable Rachel Taylor, Minister of Education, Labour, Employment and Customer Service remarked that this certification is globally acclaimed and will enable each participant to build upon their competence and progress to the next Level. She also expressed excitement over the success of the persons who stuck with the programme to the end and extend an invitation to many others to register for CVQ courses

TCICC Lecturer Kamala Kalidas performs exam proctoring duties over candidate Desmond Handfield during the February 2022 PLAR Exam

that her Government has made available to Turks and Caicos Islanders and British Overseas Territory Citizens, tuition free.

Interim President of TCICC Mrs. Clara Gardiner echoed the Minister’s comments by stating that these results are indicative of the tremendous possibilities that exist to certify and situate the TCI as having a skilled and certified workforce to strategically contribute to our economic productivity.

TVET Dean Mr. Kevin Baxter was keen to point out that this is just the beginning as we intend to impact all the sister islands and saturate the TCI with world class training opportunities to meet the demand of an evolving global landscape.

The TVET@TCICC is currently recruiting persons from Providenciales and Grand Turk to participate in the second cohort of participants to sit another PLAR TVET Challenge Exam in November 2022.

Maradona: Medical staff to be tried for football legend’s death Eight medical personnel are to stand trial accused of criminal negligence in the death of legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona.

A judge has ordered a culpable homicide trial after a medical panel found Maradona’s treatment was rife with “deficiencies and irregularities”.

Maradona died in November 2020 of a heart attack in Buenos Aires, aged 60.

He had been recovering at home from surgery on a

brain blood clot earlier that month.

A few days after his death Argentine prosecutors launched an investigation into the doctors and nurses involved in his care.

Last year, the panel of 20 experts appointed to examine his death found Maradona’s medical team acted in an “inappropriate, deficient and reckless manner”.

It also concluded that the footballer “would have had a better chance of survival” with adequate treatment in an appropriate medical

facility, according to the court ruling.

Among those facing charges are Maradona’s neurosurgeon and personal doctor, Leopoldo Luque, a psychiatrist and psychologist, two doctors, two nurses and their boss. They have all denied responsibility for his death.

All eight will be tried on a legal definition of homicide based on negligence committed in the knowledge that it may lead to a person’s death.

The crime can hold a

Wimbledon: Rafael Nadal wins first grass-court match for three years Stan Wawrinka says Rafael Nadal “looks like normal Rafa” after the Spaniard won his first grass-court match in three years as part of his Wimbledon preparations.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion beat Swiss Wawrinka 6-2 6-3 in an exhibition match at Hurlingham on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old’s participation at Wimbledon had been in doubt because of a chronic foot injury.

“It has been a while without playing on grass,” Nadal said.

Nadal practised with last year’s finalist Matteo Berrettini on Centre Court on Thursday.

He practised on the Mallorca grass courts after having treatment on his

left foot before arriving in London on Monday.

Nadal has not played at Wimbledon since 2019 having missed last year’s tournament to give his body time to rest following the French Open. The 2020 event was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I am older now - I can’t manage to play so many matches,” Nadal said following his win over Wawrinka.

“For me it is perfect to play a couple of matches here before Wimbledon starts. That helps me to feel at least some competition before Wimbledon.”

Nadal’s last competitive match on grass was his 2019 Wimbledon semi-final against Roger Federer, which

his long-time rival won in four sets.

He started the year in stunning fashion, winning the Australian Open to secure a men’s record 21st Grand Slam title, before claiming a 14th French Open trophy last month.

“I don’t know how he is feeling, it looks like normal Rafa,” Wawrinka, who has been given a singles wildcard for Wimbledon, said.

“He has been saying he is feeling better and if he is playing he is ready to play his best and to win.”

Three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic also triumphed at Hurlingham Club on Wednesday, beating Canada’s Felix AugerAliassime 6-2 6-1. (BBC)

Rafael Nadal has won two of his 22 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon.

Transgender athletes: Lord Coe hints athletics could follow swimming in banning trans women WORLD Athletics president Lord Coe has hinted the sport could follow swimming in banning transgender women from elite female competitions, insisting “fairness is non-negotiable”.

Swimming’s world governing body Fina voted on Sunday to stop trans athletes from competing in women’s elite races if they have gone through any part of the process of male puberty.

The landmark decision set swimming apart from almost all other Olympic sports, with most using testosterone limits as a basis for inclusion.

But Lord Coe has now revealed that World Athletics is set to discuss adopting a new eligibility policy, and welcomed Fina’s move.

“We see an international federation asserting its primacy in setting rules, regulations and policies that are in the best interest of its sport,” he told BBC Sport.

“This is as it should be. We have always believed that biology trumps gender and we will continue to review our regulations in line with this. We will follow the science.

“We continue to study, research and contribute to the growing body of evidence that testosterone is a key determinant in performance, and have scheduled a discussion on our regulations with our council at the end of the year.”

WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Under Lord Coe, World Athletics has already introduced rules that cap testosterone levels at five nanomoles per litre (5nmol/L) for transgender athletes and for competitors with differences in sex development (DSD) in some women’s running events.

And with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently placing responsibility on individual federations to determine eligibility criteria of their own, other sports are now bringing in tougher policies.

Last week, cycling’s world governing body the UCI lowered the permitted testosterone level from 5nmol/L to to 2.5nmol/L, and doubled the period of time before a transgender rider can compete to

two years.

But Fina has now gone further after a report by a scientific panel said that going through male puberty meant trans women retained a “relative performance advantage over biological females”, even after medication to reduce testosterone.

It is only the second Olympic governing body, after World Rugby in 2020, to introduce a ban on transgender competitors, but it now looks increasingly likely that track and field could follow suit.

On Monday football’s world governing body Fifa also said it was “currently reviewing its gender eligibility regulations in consultation with expert stakeholders”. But Fifa added it was “not in a position to comment on specifics of proposed amendments to the existing regulations”.

“We’ve always tried to find a navigable way through. We haven’t wanted to stigmatise,” said Lord Coe, who was in Budapest as a guest of Fina as it made its decision at an extraordinary general congress at the weekend.

“But when push comes to shove, if it’s a judgement between inclusion and fairness, we will always fall down on the side of fairness - that for me is nonnegotiable.

“The integrity of women’s sport is really, really important here, and we can’t have a generation of young girls thinking there is not a future for them in the sport. So we have a responsibility…maintaining the primacy and the integrity of female competition is absolutely vital, and that’s why we were at the forefront of tabling those regulations that allow as close as you can get to a level playing field.

“Those regulations are always under review… if there are events, distances or disciplines that we think are being unfairly impacted we will of course look at those again in the light of the science.”

Fina’s new policy means transgender American college swimmer Lia Thomas, who has expressed a desire to compete for a place at the Paris Olympics, is now blocked from participating in the female category at the Games.

The governing body says it will

Under Lord Coe, World Athletics has already introduced rules that cap testosterone levels at five nanomoles per litre (5nmol/L) for transgender athletes.

aim to establish an ‘open’ category at competitions for swimmers whose gender identity is different than their birth sex.

Its policy does not apply to national federations or the US college championships, the NCAAs, at which Thomas recently won the women’s 500-yard freestyle. Instead, each national federation - including British Swimming - will need to decide whether it is to implement the Fina policy.

British Swimming told BBC Sport it would “take time to review [the policy’s] content” before making any further comment.

With the debate around the inclusion of transgender women among the most contentious in sport, Fina’s decision has already divided opinion.

Former GB swimmer Karen Pickering told BBC Radio 4: “I empathise that there will be people who now can’t compete in the category that they identify with as their gender. That is very sad and I do understand that, but in this situation inclusivity and fairness cannot be compatible and the science has shown that there is just no way to make that compatible.”

Four-time Olympic champion Cate Campbell - who had

addressed the governing body’s members before the decision was made - asked them to “uphold the cornerstone of fairness”.

However, fellow Australian swimmer Maddie Groves has criticised Campbell’s comments, asking on Twitter whether she was “OK with ostracising an already marginalised group?”

A spokesperson for LGBT rights body Stonewall said: “In sport, inclusion should always be the starting point. Everyone deserves to benefit from the sense of wellbeing and community that sport brings - and that includes trans people.

Serena Williams (left) and Ons Jabeur played two matches together at Eastbourne

Eastbourne: Serena Williams & Ons Jabeur withdraw from doubles SERENA Williams and Ons Jabeur have withdrawn from the Eastbourne doubles because of a right knee injury to the Tunisian.

The American great made her return to tennis this week alongside Jabeur after a year out following an injury.

The two had advanced to the semi-finals after winning their

first two matches.

Williams, 40, has been given a singles wildcard into Wimbledon, which begins on Monday, while the in-form Jabeur, 27, will be seeded third.

Jabeur arrived in Eastbourne on the back of winning the grasscourt title in Berlin and will be one of the favourites to lift the

Wimbledon trophy.

Williams, who has won seven of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles at Wimbledon, has not played a singles match since June last year.

She injured her ankle in her SW19 opener on Centre Court, which led to doubts that she would return to the tour. (BBC)

THE two-day Long-Term Athlete Development Symposium proved to be insightful in upgrading the fundamentals of sport in the Turks and Caicos Islands through the use of scientific and modern concepts by the visiting officials.

Colin Higgs, a Professor at Emeritus School of Human Kinetics and a National Canadian Sports Consultant and Dave Farmer, a former Director of the National Olympic Academy of Barbados and a FINA Coach Certification Instructor with the Caribbean and Americas, were able to explain the needed steps for sport development during the event on Friday and Saturday last.

The symposium which was held under the patronage of the Hon Rachel Taylor, Minister Responsible for Sport in the TCI, focused on riveting discussions, in areas such as pathways to success, the role of sport leadership and a vision for sport in the TCI. The facilitators explained in detail what is needed to develop and harness the potential of elite athletes. They also spoke about the importance of spotting talent, understanding genetics, not pushing talented youngsters too much or too early and following a needed pathway of growth and progression. TCI coaches and officials were also told about the need to see long-term development as not just for “elite athletes”, but those who might peak at different times and those who would be able to harness the knowledge to hone their skills through administrative work, coaching or refereeing etc.

Higgs used his expertise to highlight the need for a holistic movement that focuses on overall development. He said it was necessary for that collective body, including the administrators, coaches, parents, schools and government, to be in sync to ensure maximum benefits to the athletes, “Ultimately, athletes are developed through the collaboration of good people, good administrators, good coaches….”

He pointed to the need to be selfless in the execution of duties and to understand when as a coach, you have exhausted your coaching knowledge on the athlete and need to pass that person on to the next stage of development.

“We are often holding on to our athletes and not allowing them to move forward.”

national bodies and their executives need to lead by example. “Your associations have to have sport administrators…people who make the wheels turn, people who make things happen. If your sport federation is not effective or efficient, the performance of the

athletes will suffer.”

Overall, the local federations and associations were guided through the needed pathway to take their athletes to the next level in their sport, implementing those recommendations will however take time, effort and resources.
