NEOC issues all-clear for Cayman Islands as Hurricane Ian passes Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) has issued the all-clear notice for the Cayman Islands, effective 3pm, as Hurricane Ian passes on its way to Cuba.

Hurricane Ian is expected to continue on its northwest path, strengthening into a major hurricane by the time it passes over Cuba on Tuesday morning.

“While weather conditions are expected to gradually improve as Hurricane Ian moves away from the area, the Cayman Islands is expected to continue to face rain, wind, rough seas and heavy swells for the next 24 hours,” according to the NEOC.

Premier G Wayne Panton

Cayman Islands residents are encouraged to continue monitoring official channels for updates and not to take unnecessary risks in the aftermath of the storm.

Premier G Wayne Panton said the Cayman Islands are fortunate to have been spared greater damage and credited the public for all efforts to be prepared ahead of the severe weather and stay safe while the storm passed.

“While we have all been very fortunate to have been spared the worst of a potentially very serious storm, I’m extremely pleased to have seen the efforts made by the Caymanian public to prepare for ‘the worst’, whilst praying for the best. In this situation, this is simply the safest, most strategic thing to do,” said Panton.

“We are aware of the considerable anxiety storms can pose for our people. Although the all clear has now been issued for our islands, we must continue to heed the advisories from HMCI, CINWS and other official sources, to ensure that we keep ourselves and our loved ones safe,” he added.

Governor Martyn Roper

Meanwhile, Governor Martyn Roper said Hurricane Ian was a timely test of the Cayman Islands’ readiness and recovery systems.

“We have been given the all-clear from Hurricane Ian. Fortunately, the impact across all three Islands has not been as bad as expected, but it is always right to over-prepare. It has been a great test of our systems,” he said.

“HMS Medway is now in our waters, having arrived here at incredible speed in challenging seas following our call for support. It is reassuring to know how fast the ship can get to us for any future weather events. The ship will be visible off Grand Cayman for the next couple of days. The troops may come ashore later today or tomorrow and assist with relief efforts,” he said.

No report of major flooding in Portmore, says Mayor Thomas Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Portmore Mayor Leon Thomas has disclosed that there have been no report of major flooding in Portmore even as some other sections of the island have experienced adverse weather conditions since Saturday.

“We have a lot of overgrown vegetation and plastic bottles in the drains now, and the rising water levels in several drains is a cause for concern if the heavy rainfall continues into Tuesday, but there have been no reports of major flooding yet,” Mayor Thomas said.

“It’s a good thing that the Portmore Municipal Council had started drain-cleaning exercises in March, but there are several drains which fall under the ambit of the National Works Agency (NWA) that need attention.”

He listed drains in areas such as Greater Portmore, Gregory Park, Portsmouth, Watson Grove, Christian Pen and Independence City.

“These drains are the responsibility of the NWA and are in areas where the Members of Parliament (MPs) have direct responsibility to clean them. The Portmore Municipal Council didn’t get any money from the Government to clean them, we had to source our own revenue to clean the drains in Portmore, and it costs a lot of money to maintain and clean drains to be ready for the hurricane season,” Mayor Thomas added.

The Meteorological Service has maintained a flash flood warning for low-lying and flood-prone areas for the north eastern and southern parishes, effective until 5am on Tuesday.

In a release on Monday morning, the Met Service extended the flash flood warning for low-lying and flood-prone areas of St Mary, Portland, St Thomas, Kingston and St Andrew, St Catherine and Clarendon.

“We welcome any assistance to carry out drain-cleaning exercises in Portmore. In the meantime, we continue to monitor the rising water levels in the drains of the areas we have mentioned,” Mayor Thomas said.

The Met Service announced that tropical storm Ian has now been upgraded to Hurricane Ian, and is located near 18.2 degrees north and 82.0 degrees west, or 391 kilometres west-southwest of Negril Point, Jamaica.

REAL NEWS- Investigations have been launched into an incident during which a Parliament Street, Grays Farm, woman had her throat slashed by an unknown person.

The early-morning offense reportedly occurred late last week on King Obstinate Drive.

Reportedly, the woman was walking from east to west. When she reached the vicinity of the St. John’s Magistrates’ Court, a man who was dressed entirely in black approached and grabbed her from behind.

Reports say he then placed a sharp object to her throat and made demands for money. When he did not get any cash, he used the implement to cut her throat.

The victim was subsequently transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by ambulance for treatment.

The perpetrator is described as slim in build, between 5’ 8” and 6‘ tall, and was wearing a mask that covered his face; only his eyes reportedly were showing.

Further reports are that the woman’s attacker spoke with an Antiguan accent.

A search was carried out for the man in the surrounding area, but without success.

Nicki Minaj Vents After YouTube Hit Her Video With Skeng With Age Restriction

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Nicki Minaj is blasting YouTube for adding an age restriction on her “Likkle Miss Remix” music video with Skeng. On Monday afternoon, Minaj called out YouTube as well as her label for adding the restriction or letting it be added.

According to YouTube, an age restriction might be added to a video after reviewing the content.

“When a video is age-restricted, viewers must be signed in and 18 years of age or older to view it,” the platform said.

Additionally, age-restricted videos are screened for content that has, violence, disturbing imagery, nudity, sexually suggestive content, and portrayal of dangerous activities. On Monday, Minaj claimed that YouTube was being unfair to her and that they were “in bed with a certain record label and [management] company].

“Imagine this. They restricted my f***** video but have things a million f**** times worse on their BOGUS F*** PLATFORM. this is what they do to keep you from winning while doing ads for other ppl and posting FAKE F*** STATS,” she wrote on Instagram.

She also cursed out the label. “Because the same ppl who run YouTube are in bed with a certain record label and mngmnt company,” she added.

Nicki Minaj also theorized that there was a scheme at play to deprive her of views after the remix first dropped and lashed out at her employees at her label, whom she called “DUDS.”

Meanwhile, there were mixed reviews of Minaj’s claims, with some agreeing that the rapper’s algorithm had other artists on it when her music was searched. Others claimed that Minaj’s tactic was to generate controversy to get the song’s numbers up.

“They really have to start telling these artists the truth about these numbers and how restrictions work because this is actually pretty normal to receive from YouTube lol,” another added. “Organic reach is everything but if you want to reach more ppl outside of your target audience then you pay to run them ads (which does work). That might not be her method but it is a common method and it’s prettt stupid to knock if we being honest lol. & most importantly you don’t need a machine to do it. I too would cross promo my video on her channel, the fan base numbers speak for themselves!! Why run an ad where an audience doesn’t exist? Are we slow now?”

Manifestations en Iran: plus de 75 morts en 10…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

Plus de 75 personnes ont été tuées en Iran dans la répression des manifestations déclenchées il y a dix jours par la mort d’une jeune femme détenue par la police des moeurs, a indiqué lundi une ONG.

Les autorités iraniennes ont elles jusque-là donné un bilan de 41 morts incluant manifestants et forces de l’ordre. Elles ont aussi annoncé l’arrestation de plus de 1.200 manifestants.

Les protestations ont éclaté le 16 septembre après le décès à l’hôpital de la jeune Iranienne de 22 ans, Mahsa Amini, arrêtée trois jours auparavant pour non respect du code vestimentaire strict pour les femmes en République islamique d’Iran.

Elles sont les plus importantes depuis celles de novembre 2019, provoquées par la hausse des prix de l’essence en Iran, qui avaient été sévèrement réprimées (230 morts selon un bilan officiel, plus de 300 selon Amnesty International).

Selon l’ONG Iran Human Rights (IHR), basée à Oslo, “au moins 76 personnes ont été tuées dans les manifestations” dont “six femmes et quatre enfants”, dans 14 provinces du pays.

L’ONG a affirmé avoir obtenu des “vidéos et des certificats de décès confirmant des tirs à balles réelles sur des manifestants”.

Depuis le décès de Mahsa Amini, les Iraniens sont descendus chaque soir dans la rue.

“Le matin, ma femme conduit les enfants à l’école et moi j’ouvre mon magasin. Tout est calme”, a indiqué Mahmoud, 60 ans, sur la place Valiasr à Téhéran. “Mais dès que le soir tombe et que les manifestations commencent je suis obligé de fermer mon magasin.”

De nombreux policiers casqués et armés de bâtons prennent alors position pour tenter d’empêcher les rassemblements.

– “Femme, Vie, Liberté” –

Encore dimanche soir, les protestations ont eu lieu à Téhéran et dans plusieurs villes.

Dans le nord-ouest de la capitale, des manifestants, dont certains rassemblés sur des toits d’immeubles, lancent des slogans antigouvernementaux entrecoupés de “Femme, Vie et liberté”, a raconté Ali, un habitant.

Selon des images publiées par l’IHR, des manifestants à Téhéran ont crié “Mort au dictateur”, appelant à la chute du guide suprême, l’ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

La police anti-émeute a frappé des manifestants à coups de matraque et des étudiants ont déchiré de grandes photos du guide suprême et de son prédécesseur, l’imam Khomeiny, d’après de récentes vidéos publiées par l’AFP.

Elle a aussi tiré des plombs et à balles réelles sur les protestataires qui ont lancé des pierres, incendié des voitures de police et mis le feu à des bâtiments publics, selon des groupes de défense des droits humains.

D’autres images ont montré des femmes enlevant et incendiant leurs voiles ou se coupant symboliquement les cheveux, encouragées par la foule, dans plusieurs villes.

Outre les plus de 1.200 arrestations par les autorités -environ 450 dans la province de Mazandaran (nord) et plus de 700 dans la province voisine de Gilan-, le Comité pour la protection des journalistes a fait état lundi de l’arrestation de 20 journalistes iraniens depuis le 16 septembre.

L’Iran a imputé le mouvement de contestation à des “complots étrangers”, pointant du doigt les Etats-Unis, son ennemi juré.

Son chef de la diplomatie Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, a critiqué “l’approche interventionniste des Etats-Unis dans les affaires de l’Iran”, leur reprochant de soutenir “les émeutiers”.

– “Ecouter les demandes du peuple” –

Face à la répression, l’Union européenne a dénoncé l’usage “généralisé et disproportionné de la force”.

Le président américain Joe Biden a lui aussi dénoncé la répression des manifestations, se disant solidaire des “femmes courageuses d’Iran”.

Le Canada a décidé d’imposer des sanctions contre une dizaine de responsables iraniens et d’entités dont la police des moeurs.

Et Berlin a appelé l’Iran à “ne pas recourir à la violence” contre les manifestants.

Mais les autorités iraniennes restent fermes.

Samedi, le président conservateur Ebrahim Raïssi a appelé les forces de l’ordre à agir contre les manifestants, qualifiés “d’émeutiers”. Après lui, le chef du pouvoir judiciaire, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, a exclu toute “indulgence” envers les instigateurs des “émeutes”.

Néanmoins, un important religieux conservateur et un ardent défenseur d’Ali Khamenei, le grand ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani, a appelé les autorités à “écouter les demandes du peuple et à régler ses problèmes”.
