The annual budget, read in Parliament on Monday, affects everyone in the counry. But the vast majority of people in Port of Spain whom Newsday approached yesterday said, “I didn’t really listen to it, inno.” Some heard one or two lines and ran with that. Others had no trouble voicing extensive opinions.

Self-described hustler Roger Khan said, “This is the worst budget in the history of Trinidad. Everything raise, bai, I fed up of them. How much you feel that income tax break will work out to? Maybe a couple hundred.”

On the health workers’ bonus, he commented, “Them ain’t getting no bonus. Them work for that, them overwork. That is not no bonus.”

Civil servant Carol Lakhan said, “The fuel rise is a killer. As it is, I paying enough to come to town every day – it’s $80 a week now. I can’t make any adjustment to my transport, I have to come to work.

“Food prices is too much. To be honest, we working on a 2013 salary, and everything gone up since then. It’s hard to survive. That four per cent offer cannot be fair. Everything gone up and our spending power is less now and the salary remains the same.”

Over the past months labour unions held demonstrations, including motorcades and days of rest and reflection to protest the government’s offer to increase public servants’ pay by four per cent. During the budget reading, the Minister of Finance refused to deviate from that offer.

Flow saleswoman Shenica Grant, 24, said, “I vex, because everything gone up.

“It not making sense living in Trinidad again. You working just to go to work. Light bill gone up, gas gone up. Just now you have to walk with your wheels in your hand.”

Store clerks on Frederick Street Shanice and Isaiah reacted to the lack of an increase in minimum wage with one word, “Failure.” They added, “The pressure is getting worser.”

Nutsman Aaron Small said,”Everything in the budget was disappointing, because the most you hear is everything going up.”

Royal Castle worker Mekida Roach said, “The budget is foolishness. It don’t make any sense, because salary is still the same and everything just raising.”

With the rise in gas prices, Roach predicted it would cost more to go to work and reiterated, “Pay is still the same.”

Not all the reactions were critical.

Orlon Harlow, pieman on Henry Street, said, “I didn’t listen to it, inno, but I heard gas went up $1.

“I believe the government have to take action to save the country, because the country in a bad state. All over the world things hard. If they don’t make the right choice, the country will get more hard.

“For me, all the years, I find the budget does be a good budget, because the government have to know what they doing to run the country. It’s not an easy job but the government know what there.”

Lucien Theroulde was waiting for the bus in City Gate.

“I did not really listen to the whole thing.

“Is not everything everybody will agree with and I is not no politics man, but I does just listen. So I don’t want to bad-talk and say nothing. For me, the budget was all right. They trying to see if they could facilitate everybody to the best of their ability, so I give them praise for that. Real people does criticise, and if you put them there, they can’t do nothing.”

Arima taxi drivers said they had not listened to the budget or experienced the effects of the fuel increase as yet. They said Newsday should check them back in a month and then they would say how they feel about the budget.

Port of Spain seniors, travellers react to domestic travel price hike

people interviewed Tuesday in Port of Spain on the budget.

“What they doing not fair to senior citizens.”

That was one reaction to Minister of Finance Colm Imbert’s plan to increase the cost of travel between Trinidad and Tobago.

People in Port of Spain shared their thoughts on the price hike. Some thought it was fine and about time while another took it personally.

Fares will increase from January 1, 2023. Currently senior citizens travel on the inter-island ferry for free, but will be required to pay $50 for a round trip come next year. The price of standard round-trip tickets increases from $100 to $150, and premium round-trip from $200 to $300, while round-trip airline tickets increase from $300 to $400.

Umilta James, 84, was walking on Duke Street. Of the fare increase, James said, “I good here. I don’t like water. I don’t like the sea at all,” but on the one-time transport grant for those in receipt of benefits, she commented, “That would be nice.”

Bystander Roger Khan said,” If the airline not making money and they say they running into deficit right through, well, they have to raise it.”

A woman in line at the port, Renis Gabriel said, “I think it’s fine. It’s been the same thing for a while.”

Another woman was quick to disagree. “I am a senior citizen and with regards to cost of living, when public servants and other parties get increases, our pension remains the same. We have to face utility bills and groceries, and I don’t think the increase in ferry fares is fair to us. I think it should be on par with international norms. Furthermore, how long will that one-time transport grant last?”

A man nearby reacted immediately: “You don’t know what you saying there, lady. If it was on par with international it would be a hell of a lot more.”

Suresh Gopaul, 66, said, “The budget stinks. Everything you want in this country is a hassle. The fare increase stinks.”

A senior citizen, Rudy Taylor, 79, who has lived the majority of his life abroad, said he had not been to Tobago since he was 14 and the increased rate would not bother him. Other than that, he had much to criticise about TT’s underdevelopment throughout his lifetime.

UTT Guild president Alex Hewitt, 23, was at the port. He said, “For a young person like me who not working, let’s say a Tobagonian, who has to travel back and forth for school, it would be kind of a struggle. Even if they getting 100 per cent coverage from GATE, you don’t know the family’s financial situation.”

Another man in line just wanted to know how he is getting his one-time $1,000 transport grant.

An official at the port said a meeting would be held to discuss tickets already bought for dates next year, and she could not comment further. She added she was concerned for the ferry regulars who would face the brunt of the increase.

Funeral on Thursday for poisoned baby

FUNERAL SET: Poisoned baby girl Selieen Ramsaroop who will be laid to rest on Thursday. The nine-month-old is seen asleep at her New Grant home in this photo provided by her relatives. –

BABY Selieen Ramsaroop will be laid to rest on Thursday at the Batchyia cemetery in Penal after a funeral at Boodoo’s Funeral Home in Penal.

The baby’s body was released to her biological father on Monday, for final rites. An autopsy done earlier that day at the Forensic Sciences Centre was inconclusive. Police confirmed that body samples have been sent for toxicology testing.

An officer explained to Newsday that following the taking of body samples, baby Selieen can be laid to rest.

“Forensics did what it had to do and got whatever evidence is required to test for certain things. The toxicology report, based on the analysis that is done, would determine if a particular offence was committed or not committed,” the official said.

A file has been prepared by the legal officer at Homicide Region III, which will be forwarded to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution.

A woman has been in custody since September 21, in connection with the nine-month-old baby’s death. Police was told that around noon on that day, the woman was at the baby’s New Grant when she became frustrated with the baby’s constant crying and fussing and fed her a concoction of milk and cereal laced with the poisonous substance, Malathion.

After feeding Selieen, the woman put the child down to sleep. When she appeared unresponsive about three hours later, an ambulance was called and the baby was taken to the Princes Town Health Centre.

She was later transferred to the San Fernando General Hospital where she died at around 6.30 pm.

Selieen’s step-grandmother Sharmila Deonarine told Newsday on Tuesday that she was surprised that the baby’s father had claimed her body, witnessed the autopsy and has taken charge of funeral arrangements.

“I did not even know they did the autopsy on Monday. The police never called to say anything. I only found out today (Tuesday).”

Deonarine said she was not certain she would attend the funeral as the relationship between her family and other relatives of Selieen, remain strained.

Fuites sur Nord Stream: l’UE promet la…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

Hors service à cause de la guerre en Ukraine, les gazoducs Nord Stream reliant la Russie à l’Allemagne sous la mer Baltique ont été tous deux touchés par des fuites spectaculaires précédées d’explosions sous-marines, l’Union européenne promettant la “réponse la plus ferme possible” à ce “sabotage”.

Les trois grandes fuites identifiées depuis lundi au large de l’île danoise de Bornholm, entre le sud de la Suède et la Pologne, sont visibles à la surface avec des bouillonnements allant de 200 mètres jusqu’à un kilomètre de diamètre, a annoncé mardi l’armée danoise, images à l’appui.

Le gazoduc Nord Stream 2 avait subi une forte chute de pression lundi, suivi quelques heures plus tard de Nord Stream 1, dont il suit le tracé sous la Baltique.

La présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen, a écrit mardi soir sur Twitter avoir “parlé de l’acte de sabotage Nord Stream” avec la Première ministre danoise Mette Frederiksen.

“Il est primordial d’enquêter sur les incidents et de faire toute la lumière sur les événements (…) Toute perturbation délibérée de l’infrastructure énergétique européenne active est inacceptable et entraînera la réponse la plus ferme possible”, a ajouté Mme von der Leyen.

Peu avant, la Première ministre danoise avait déclaré que “l’avis clair des autorités est qu’il s’agit d’actes délibérés. On ne parle pas d’un accident”.

“Des détonations ont eu lieu et il s’agit probablement de sabotage”, a renchéri la Première ministre suédoise démissionnaire Magdalena Andersson, qui assure les affaires courantes après des élections perdues le 11 septembre.

Comme le Danemark, la Suède n’y voit pas un acte d’agression contre elle, les incidents ayant eu lieu en dehors des eaux territoriales, dans les zones économiques exclusives.

Selon Copenhague, les fuites devraient durer “au moins une semaine”, jusqu’à ce que tout le gaz soit sorti des deux ouvrages.

L’institut sismique suédois a enregistré deux explosions sous-marines, “très probablement dues à des détonations”, avant l’incident, comme ses équivalents norvégien et danois.

– Bras de fer –

Objets de bras de fer géopolitiques ces derniers mois, les deux pipelines exploités par un consortium dépendant du géant russe Gazprom ne sont pas opérationnels à cause des conséquences de la guerre en Ukraine. Mais tous les deux étaient encore remplis de gaz.

Le Kremlin, vers qui se sont tournés nombre de regards, s’est dit “extrêmement préoccupé”, estimant qu’il ne fallait exclure “aucune” hypothèse, dont le sabotage.

A Kiev, le conseiller de la présidence ukrainienne, Mykhaïlo Podoliak a dénoncé “une attaque terroriste planifiée” par Moscou, sans avancer de preuves.

Le Premier ministre polonais a également suggéré une implication russe. “Nous voyons clairement que c’est un acte de sabotage, qui marque probablement la prochaine étape de l’escalade de la situation en Ukraine”, a déclaré Mateusz Morawiecki, qui inaugurait justement mardi un gazoduc reliant la Norvège à la Pologne.

“Nous n’excluons aucun scénario, mais nous n’allons pas spéculer sur les mobiles ni les acteurs” pouvant être impliqués, a expliqué la ministre suédoise des Affaires étrangères Ann Linde.

“Il n’y a pas encore d’information nous disant quelque chose sur les responsables”, a pour sa part affirmé Mme Frederiksen.

Côté américain, Washington s’est refusé à “confirmer” un acte de sabotage.

L’exploitant des pipelines, le consortium Nord Stream, a reconnu qu’”un incident durant lequel trois tuyaux éprouvent simultanément des difficultés le même jour n’est pas ordinaire”, selon un porte-parole.

– “Extrêmement rare” –

Le Danemark a dépêché sur place deux navires militaires accompagnés d’hélicoptères, et a placé en état d’alerte orange ses infrastructures énergétiques, le deuxième niveau de vigilance le plus élevé.

“Les fuites de gazoducs sont extrêmement rares et nous voyons donc une raison d’augmenter le niveau de vigilance” après les incidents des 24 dernières heures, a expliqué le directeur de l’Agence danoise de l’énergie, Kristoffer Böttzauw.

De son côté, le gouvernement norvégien a décidé de “renforcer la préparation aux situations d’urgence en ce qui concerne les infrastructures et les installations à terre et en mer sur le plateau continental norvégien”. Dans son communiqué, Oslo évoque “une activité accrue de drones” et assure qu’une enquête est en cours.

Nord Stream 2, achevé en 2021, était destiné à doubler la capacité d’importation de gaz russe en Allemagne. Sa mise en service a été suspendue en représailles à l’invasion de l’Ukraine.

Quant à Nord Stream 1, Gazprom a progressivement réduit les volumes de gaz livrés jusqu’à la fermeture complète du gazoduc fin août, accusant les sanctions occidentales d’avoir retardé les réparations nécessaires de l’installation.

La navigation a été interdite dans un rayon de cinq milles nautiques (environ neuf kilomètres) autour des trois fuites, ainsi que leur survol dans un rayon d’un kilomètre.

Selon les autorités danoises, les incidents sont sans conséquences pour la sécurité ou la santé des riverains.

L’impact environnemental direct devrait lui aussi être limité, même si le gaz naturel non brûlé a un puissant effet de serre.

Cuba without electricity after hurricane hammers power grid Loop Jamaica

Hurricane Ian knocked out power across all of Cuba and devastated some of the country’s most important tobacco farms Tuesday when it slammed into the island’s western tip as a major hurricane.

Cuba’s Electric Union said in a statement that work is being done to gradually restore service to the country’s 11 million people between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Power was initially knocked out in Cuba’s western provinces, but subsequently the entire grid collapsed.

Ian made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane early Tuesday on the island’s west coast. It devastated Pinar del R?o province, where much of the tobacco used to make Cuba’s iconic cigars is grown.

Tens of thousands of people were evacuated and others fled the area ahead of the arrival of Ian, which caused flooding, damaged houses and felled trees. Authorities are still assessing the damage, although no victims have been reported so far.

Ian’s winds damaged one of Cuba’s most important tobacco farms in La Robaina.

“It was apocalyptic, a real disaster,” Hirochi Robaina, owner of the farm that bears his name and that his grandfather made known internationally, posted on social media. He published photos showing farm buildings in rubble, overturned carts and wood scattered everywhere.

State media reported that Cuban President Miguel D?az-Canel has visited the region hit hardest by the hurricane.

Messi scores twice as Argentina beat Jamaica 3-0 Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Lionel Messi scored two goals and was twice accosted by fans running on the field as Argentina extended their unbeaten streak to 35 matches over three years by beating Jamaica 3-0 on Tuesday night in their next-to-last World Cup warmup match.

Juli?n ?lvarez put Argentina ahead in the 13th minute. Messi entered in the 55th and increased his career total to 90 goals in 164 international appearances.

The six-time world player of the year, three months past his 35th birthday, scored on a 23-yard left-foot shot in the 86th minute off a give-and-go with Giovani Lo Celso, then got another goal on a free kick three minutes later after he was pulled down by Adrian Mariappa just outside the penalty area.

A fan sprinted onto the field in the 65th minute and was quickly knocked over and surrounded by security when he neared Messi, who stood and watched the spectator being subdued at his feet. Messi was approached again by a fan after his first goal as security again responded.

Messi scored four goals in Argentina’s two World Cup warmups this month, giving him 16 career goals in the U.S.

Fans erupted in applause less than a minute into the second half when Messi walked with teammates to a corner and started to warm up. A large percentage of the crowd appeared more focused on Messi stretching than they did the action on the field, and fans stood and made the stadium rumble when he entered for Lautaro Mart?nez and took the captain’s armband from Angel Di Maria.

Messi, who won his first senior title for Argentina at last year’s Copa Am?rica, still has more speed and quicker acceleration than most and his addition energized Argentina in the second half. He also forced Andre Blake to made a pair of diving saves.

There appeared to be a full house at 25,000-capacity Red Bull Arena, and the crowd, many in blue-and-white-striped Albiceleste jerseys, made it feel like an Argentina home game. Public address announcements were primarily in Spanish and ribbon boards flashed “Vamos Argentina!”

?lvarez put Argentina ahead after Nicol?s Tagliafico passed from the flank to Mart?nez, who spun around Leon Bailey to open space and centered to the 22-year-old ?lvarez. He slotted past Blake for his second goal in 11 international appearances.

Heading to their 13th straight World Cup, Argentina seek to add to championships they won in 1978 with Mario Kempes and 1986 with Diego Maradona.

Argentina have one remaining friendly, against the United Arab Emirates on Nov. 16 at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

At the World Cup in Qatar, Argentina opens against Saudi Arabia, which tied the United States 0-0 in an exhibition Tuesday, and then play Mexico and Poland.

Argentina have 25 wins, including one on penalty kicks, and 10 draws since a 2-0 loss to Brazil at the Copa Am?rica on July 2, 2019.

Coach Lionel Scaloni made eight changes from the starting lineup in Friday’s 3-0 win over 80th-ranked Honduras at Miami Gardens, Florida, inserting Di Maria and Giovani Lo Celso. Emiliano Mart?nez replaced Ger?nimo Rulli.

The Reggae Boyz, who finished sixth among eight nations in the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region, played in jerseys without names, in contrast to Argentina.

Jamaica started a first-choice lineup in their first match under new coach Heimir Hallgr?msson that included Premier Leaguers Michail Antonio, Leon Bailey and Bobby Decordova-Reid and Blake, a Philadelphia Union standout.
