La Russie prolonge l’arrêt d’un gazoduc…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

Le géant russe Gazprom a annoncé que le gazoduc Nord Stream, qui devait reprendre du service samedi après une maintenance, sera finalement “complètement” arrêté jusqu’à la réparation d’une turbine de ce pipeline vital pour l’approvisionnement des Européens.

Dans un communiqué, Gazprom a indiqué vendredi soir avoir découvert des “fuites d’huile” dans la turbine, lors de cette opération de maintenance dans une station de compression située en Russie.

“Jusqu’à la réparation (…), le transport du gaz via Nord Stream est complètement suspendu”, a indiqué le groupe, sans préciser combien de temps pouvait durer cette réparation.

Ce rebondissement va accentuer encore l’angoisse des Européens, qui se démènent pour éviter une crise énergétique cet hiver et accusent Moscou d’user du gaz comme d’une arme pour se venger des sanctions occidentales après l’offensive russe en Ukraine.

Le groupe Gazprom devait reprendre samedi ses livraisons de gaz via Nord Stream, qui relie la Russie au nord de l’Allemagne, après une nouvelle interruption de trois jours pour ces opérations de maintenance.

Gazprom a assuré avoir découvert cette “fuite d’huile” lors d’un contrôle technique effectué avec des représentants du groupe allemand Siemens, qui a fabriqué la turbine.

Le groupe russe fait état de cette fuite d’huile sur des “câbles reliés à des compteurs de vitesse d’un rotor”. Sur Telegram, le groupe a publié une photo montrant des câbles entourés d’un liquide brunâtre.

Ces ennuis techniques empêchent d’assurer “une exploitation sécurisée du moteur de la turbine à gaz”, soutient Gazprom, s’appuyant sur un avertissement de l’Agence civile russe de surveillance des industries.

Plus tôt dans la journée, le Kremlin avait affirmé qu’une seule turbine fonctionnait sur place et que l’activité de Nord Stream était “menacée” par une pénurie de pièces de rechange en raison des sanctions visant Moscou.

Moscou affirme notamment que ces sanctions empêchent la restitution d’une turbine Siemens qui avait été envoyée au Canada pour être réparée. L’Allemagne, où se trouve la turbine, assure que c’est la Russie qui bloque le retour de cette pièce-clé.

– L’hiver approche… –

Depuis le début de l’intervention militaire du Kremlin en Ukraine, fin février, la Russie a déjà cessé ses fournitures de gaz, via d’autres pipelines, à plusieurs pays de l’Union européenne, comme la Bulgarie et la Pologne.

Et, en juillet, Gazprom avait déjà procédé à dix jours de travaux de maintenance sur le gazoduc Nord Stream qui avait ensuite été remis en marche mais avec une nouvelle baisse des livraisons.

Un responsable allemand avait jugé l’interruption de cette semaine “incompréhensible sur le plan technique”, y voyant une manoeuvre politique de la Russie.

“Nous ne pouvons plus nous fier à la Russie ou à Gazprom” pour respecter leurs engagements sur les livraisons de gaz, a répété cette semaine le ministre de l’Economie, Robert Habeck.

Il semble désormais que les craintes d’un arrêt total des livraisons russes à l’approche de l’hiver se confirment.

Pour compenser les quantités manquantes, les Européens s’efforcent de trouver d’autres fournisseurs et de réduire leur consommation sur fond d’explosion des prix du gaz sur les marchés et de spectre de récession.

Une coupure totale du gaz russe pourrait amputer d’un point la croissance française, a estimé le ministre de l’Economie, Bruno Le Maire.

En Allemagne, l’activité devrait se contracter au second semestre, plombée par l’impact de l’envolée des prix de l’énergie sur le puissant secteur industriel.

Dans la première économie européenne, la menace de pénurie de gaz cet hiver semble cependant s’éloigner. Le pays se démène pour réduire sa dépendance à la Russie qui atteignait encore 55% des importations de gaz en février.

Les projets d’installation de plusieurs terminaux flottants permettant d’importer du gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) ont connu une nette accélération en Allemagne: deux première unités devraient entrer en fonction cet hiver.

Une diversification qui “aidera à passer l’hiver sans perturbations majeures”, selon le ministère allemand de l’Economie.

The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) says it will continue to exchange ?20 and ?50 paper banknotes even as its counterpart in England withdraws the legal tender status of those bills on September 30.

The BOJ said it would continue to follow the usual verification of the authenticity of the notes and customer due diligence, as required by the Bank’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy and operating procedures.

It accepts all foreign currencies for which it publishes a counter rate. A listing of these is available on the BOJ website.

Therefore, until otherwise advised, Jamaica’s central bank will continue to accept these ?20 and ?50 paper banknotes for exchange at its banking counters.

Two drivers, an elderly woman and a 24-year-old man, escaped death while trying to drive through floods on the San Fernando ByPass Road near the roundabout near South Park on Friday afternoon.

The man, Timothy Mohammed from Siparia, managed to get out of his car before it was washed into a river.

But Myrtle Benjamin, who is in her 70s, was trapped in her minivan in rising water. The van had stalled, and she was unable to get out.

Both drivers were heading towards Marabella.

Mon Repos fire officers toted Benjamin out of her van and carried her through the floodwater.

“I kept praying for God to send angels, and he did,” she said, referring to the fire officers.

She also praised Mohammed and an eyewitness, Allon Moonah, for offering her words of encouragement during the ordeal.

“They kept telling me to stay calm.”

St George’s High School fire was electrical in nature – GFS

Fire at the St George’s High School

See full statement from the Guyana Fire Service:

Re: Update on fire at St. George’s High

The Guyana Fire Service has completed its investigation into the fire which destroyed the St. George’s High School on July 20, 2022.

Based on our findings the fire was electrical in nature and stemmed from an inoperable duplex receptacle located in the Social Studies Department on the North Eastern wall of the building.

Though inoperable, electricity was going to the duplex receptacle and the subsequent overheating of the insulation caused the plastic coating on the wire to melt, resulting in arcing and sparking which ignited nearby combustibles and spread to the entire building.

The Guyana Fire Service is urging citizens to ensure electrical appliances, outlets and wiring are of the correct standard as advised by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS). These items should be examined on a regular basis to ensure they are in proper working order.

Citizens are also advised to equip their homes and businesses with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors for the early detection and extinction of fires.

Ante el hallazgo este viernes, de un cuerpo en estado de descomposición en un edificio del Departamento de la Familia en Bayamón, las uniones locales 3234 y 3227 de Servidores Públicos Unidos de Puerto Rico, que representan sindicalmente a este personal solicitaron a la secretaria de dicha agencia Carmen Ana González Magaz a que se asegure de que en el edificio se realice una limpieza forense que incluya los conductos de aire.

“En este tipo de situación debemos asegurarnos de que la salud de nuestros miembros, así como de los que visitan estas oficinas, no se vean afectadas. Por eso le reclamamos al patrono que antes de que se reanuden las labores el martes, 6 de septiembre se nos garantice que se realizará una limpieza de desechos biológicos que incluya desinfección y cambios de filtros en los conductos de aire“, expresó Solimar Hernández, presidenta de local sindical en declaraciones escritas.

Por su parte la presidenta de SIPAA, Local 3227 SPUPR-AFSCME, Sonia Delgado recalcó la importancia de que en todas las dependencias del Departamento de la Familia deben asegurarse de que diariamente las facilidades sean limpiadas, así como que la seguridad del lugar verifique todos los espacios, incluidos los baños.

“En este caso la limpieza que se hace en el lugar es privada al igual que la seguridad. El DFAM debe garantizarnos que las facilidades están limpias y seguras”, dijo.

Señalaron que inclusive los protocolos de COVID están vigentes por lo que no hay razón para que la limpieza no sea diaria y que nadie se percatara de un cuerpo hasta que estuviese en estado de descomposición.

Presidente de la Cámara y el Comisión de Asuntos Laborales anuncian que retarán en el Tribunal Federal la decisión de la Junta de La JCF de anular la Reforma Laboral

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

El presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Rafael Hernández Montañez, y el presidente de la Comisión de Asuntos Laborales, Domingo Torres García, anunciaron el viernes, que retarán en el Tribunal Federal la decisión de la Junta de Control Fiscal (JCF) de anular la Reforma Laboral (Ley 41-2022), con el fin de salvaguardar los derechos de la clase trabajadora del país.

“La JCF, en un ejercicio arbitrario, pretende invalidar una legislación que fue producto de un trabajo en consenso con todos los partidos en la Asamblea Legislativa por los pasados 18 meses, cuando no tiene la autoridad en ley para hacerlo, y se obstina en un asunto filosófico en el cual no tiene la razón”, afirmó Hernández Montañez en declaraciones escritas.

Los beneficios restituidos con la Ley 41-2022 incluyen el acceso a un periodo probatorio reducido y razonable, el diseño de una estructura más digna para acumular la licencia de vacaciones y enfermedad, el cálculo de un bono de navidad más accesible y razonable, y la potestad para revertir la carga probatoria impuesta a la clase trabajadora para reclamar un remedio por un despido injustificado, entre otros.

“El proceso de vistas públicas fue amplio, comprensivo y balanceado, contando con la participación de representantes de todos los sectores de Puerto Rico. Así, esta medida logró adelantar un fin público del más alto interés, sin comprometer el desarrollo económico del país”, indicó Torres García, representante del distrito 25.

Asimismo, Hernández Montañez sostuvo que la JCF “radicó una demanda basada en supuestos y generalidades, para imponer su visión filosófica de gobierno, sin ningún estudio formal, ni data empírica que la sustente.

“Nada nos detendrá, y presentaremos una solicitud de intervención ante el Tribunal Federal para defender a la clase trabajadora y demostrar que la entrada en vigor de esta Ley de ninguna forma atenta contra el desarrollo económico de la isla. La Cámara no escatimará en su compromiso de defender a los trabajadores y derrotaremos, una vez más, este nuevo intento de arrebatarle los derechos a nuestra clase obrera con argumentos filosóficos huecos y vacíos”, concluyó Hernández Montañez.
