Taxi operator and cop standoff, operator says sorry

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

A taxi operator, who was captured in a video on social media hurling expletives at a plain-clothes policeman has found himself in trouble with the law.

The incident also ended with the taxi operator admitting that he was in fact the one at fault.

The driver also made it clear that members of the public should be careful how they jumped to conclusions when they see some incidents on social media.

The 30-minute video also showed the taxi operator pulling up in front of an unmarked police vehicle at a traffic light in Half-Way-Tree.

The video showed the policeman driving up to the taxi operator and speaking to him about his action and it was at that time the driver began to hurl expletives and even threw a small object in the direction of the cop.

The taxi operator was later pulled over by the cop and warned.

At the end of the ordeal, the taxi operator was seen in the same video warning social media users to not jump to conclusions when they saw some videos circulating placing some police in a bad light because some taxi operators were responsible for triggering some situations between transport operators and lawmen.

Glissement de terrain au Venezuela: une…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

Le glissement de terrain qui s’est produit samedi à Las Tejerias (centre-nord du Venezuela) a fait une “centaine” de morts selon les autorités, les secouristes n’ayant mardi soir plus d’espoir de retrouver des survivants parmi la cinquantaine de disparus.

Quarante-trois corps ont été retrouvés et “il y a encore un nombre important de personnes disparues: 56 personnes disparues. Nous atteignons presque une centaine de victimes ayant trouvé la mort dans cette tragédie, cette catastrophe naturelle”, a affirmé le président vénézuelien Nicoals MAduro à la télévision d’état VTV.

Le précédent bilan faisait état de 36 morts et 56 disparus. Un deuil national de trois jours avait été décrété dimanche.

“Tejerias renaîtra de la douleur, de la tragédie, du désastre et Tejerias brillera à nouveau dans la vie, dans la paix. En avant Tejerias!” a ajouté le président, qui avait tenu des propos similaires lundi en se rendant sur place.

La vice-présidente Delcy Rodriguez a précisé qu’une grande partie de la ville était désormais à nouveau alimentée en électricité et que les communications téléphoniques étaient rétablies.

Quelque 3.000 secouristes continuaient mardi les recherches sur le site de la coulée de boue mais ne se faisaient plus d’illusions. Ce sera “difficile” de retrouver des personnes encore vivantes, confiait à l’AFP, sous couvert d’anonymat, un membre de la Protection civile.

De dramatiques scènes s’enchaînent. Nathalie Matos, 34 ans, indique aux pompiers la pièce remplie de boue où elle pense que sa mère disparue de 65 ans se trouve.

“Je sais qu’elle est là”, dit-elle. “Elle était seule (à la maison). Elle m’a appelée. Elle m’a dit: +Ma fille je me noie, l’eau est entrée, sortez-moi d’ici ! Sortez-moi ! Sortez-moi ! Sauvez-moi !”

“J’ai essayé de la rappeler, elle a répondu mais c’était du bruit…”, poursuit-elle.

Cinq pompiers tentent de déblayer la boue avec des pelles. “Le chien a fait des signes ici, dans cette zone de ce qui était le salon et la cuisine. Ca coïncide avec l’indication donnée”, explique un pompier.

Malgré les efforts, la recherche est vaine. “Je ne sais pas si je dois crier, je ne sais pas si je dois courir, je ne sais pas si je dois pleurer”, se désespère Nathalie Matos.

A quelques mètres de là, une autre équipe travaille sur le site d’une maison emportée par la rivière en crue. Les voisins ont essayé de reconstituer un plan de l’habitation pour aider les secouristes.

– “Guidé par l’odeur” –

“On est guidé par l’odeur (de décomposition des corps) et aujourd’hui on a senti cette odeur dans plusieurs maisons”, expliquait un pompier, également sous couvert d’anonymat.

Lundi en fin de journée, les secouristes se montraient déjà pessimistes. “Ca fait déjà deux jours et si elles (les victimes) ne sont pas mortes heurtées par des pierres et des branchages emportés par le courant, elles sont mortes d’hypothermie”, précisait un membre de la Protection civile.

Le Venezuela a connu une saison des pluies peu commune, qui s’est prolongée pratiquement toute l’année en raison du phénomène La Niña. Le mois de septembre a été un mois record en précipitations et ces derniers jours des pluies diluviennes, attribuées en partie au passage de l’ouragan Julia plus au nord, se sont abattues sur le pays. Ces trois dernières semaines, 13 personnes sont mortes ailleurs dans le pays en raison d’inondations ou de glissements de terrains.

A Las Tejerias, “il a plu en huit heures ce qu’il pleut en un mois”, a indiqué dimanche la vice-présidente.

La rivière, dont le niveau est monté de plus de six mètres, a tout emporté sur son passage: arbres, rochers, voitures, lampadaires, pylônes téléphoniques et des pans entiers de maisons, dont beaucoup étaient construites dans des zones à risques. La ville de 50.000 habitants déborde sur les flancs des montagnes.

Le glissement de terrain de Las Tejerias est la pire catastrophe naturelle du Venezuela depuis le début du siècle. En 1999, un important glissement de terrain dans l’Etat de Vargas, au nord du pays, avait tué quelque 10.000 personnes.

Les autorités ont mis en place des hébergements pour sinistrés à Maracay, capitale d’Aragua, l’Etat où se trouve Las Tejerias, et ont annoncé la distribution de 300 tonnes de nourriture. Des centres de collecte ont également été mis en place dans tout le pays pour recueillir les dons.

OPEN LETTER: To Sidelines From The Grave Of His Friend

OPEN LETTER TO SIDELINES FROM THE GRAVE OF HIS FRIEND.

If you are my friend as you state, how come with me just over one year since dead and you are embarrassing my sons and daring to degrade my ex wife with your personal grudges.

You are an old man, as my friend you have to be old, because I was old when I died, now, do you really think you are doing me a favour,  and protecting my sons by your constant ranting about Makeda, and suggesting they are waiting for her to die to grab the inheritance!

Clearly you too feel that she is wasting time with the property and should sell Antigua’s prize property to the Chinese or any foreign investor whom the Government sends to her, or for that matter sell her commitment to patriotism, but you all would not understand.

Clearly age has embittered you, old man you are defending the past when women were forced to accept rubbish from men. You should know because you obviously have been stalking her for a long time, she has been signing her own cheques for as long as you have been accepting yours, because you sound like a frustrated old man.

You need to wake up and smell the coffee, Makeda is a modern transformer who in raising sons  became the Dad when necessary and accepts no bs from any man, and that includes her sons, and obviously you too!

You sound so cut up and pained by the existence and flourishing of this woman, that one wonders what you are doing while crying on your iPad.

You clearly have an axe to grind, and swipe after swipe is not even making her wince, much less stop her from doing whatever has aroused you again!

If it is sex, you are both too old for that, and having lost your morning, even if she were to look at you, or have a conversation, it is unlikely you could arouse yourself to the occasion, or she for that matter.

If it is envy for her property, where were you when Stanford, Lester, Baldwin & now Gaston were all taking turns bludgeoning her and her sons in her business life, even though she refused to die?

You are a mean, bad minded man, whose opinion is twisted and not good for an old man, a Catholic you say, no wonder you mis-interpret life with self-hate and flagellation. Go to confession, admit your sins to the erotic ears of your priest!

Gadsby-Dolly: More $ for school security

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Trinidad and Tobago Newsday

News

Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly

EDUCATION Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said additional money will be provided for school security in fiscal 2023.

She made this comment during a meeting of the Standing Finance Committee of the House of Representatives on Tuesday. The committee approved expenditure of $5,503,784,600 for the ministry in the 2022/2023 budget.

Responding to questions from Tabaquite MP Haynes about an increase in the allocation for security services from $135 million in fiscal 2022 to $235 million in fiscal 2023, Gadsby-Dolly said, “More services are required.”

She told MPs that when schools were closed during the covid19 pandemic, there was less requirement for security personnel to be on site at schools. Gadsby-Dolly said more security personnel will be needed at schools now that in-person classes at schools have been resumed.

She added that this increased allocation does not necessarily mean more people will be employed as security guards at school.

On school transport, Haynes recalled there was an allocation of $8.2 million for this in the mid-year review in May to serve 246 areas.

Haynes said her records showed that only $3 million of that figure has been spent to date.

Gadsby-Dolly said a total of $2.6 million has been paid to date to the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) for school transport.

She assured that all the routes referred to by Haynes would be served.

“All routes are to be served on the basis of (availability) of concessionaires.”

On an allocation of $669,000 to the student support services in fiscal 2023, Gadsby-Dolly said, “We will maintain exactly what we have now.”

Gadsby-Dolly reiterated that a sum of $50 million will be allocated for remedial education in fiscal 2023.

She said remedial education programmes have been set for 26 secondary schools. Gadsby-Dolly reiterated that pending Cabinet approval, remedial education efforts will be extended to another 25 to 30 primary schools.

Chaguanas East MP Vandana Mohit asked about requests from people for their children to join the school feeding programme. Mohit claimed there were 7,000 such requests.

Gadsby-Dolly said those requests can be made through the respective school principals to join the programme.

Responding to a question from Couva North MP Ravi Ratiram, Gadsby-Dolly said the National Agriculture Marketing Development Corporation (Namdevco) has a role in the programme in terms of supporting domestic agriculture.

She added Namdevco has a representative on the National Dietary Services Ltd (NDSL) which oversees the national school feeding programme. Gadsby-Dolly said the NDSL also has a representative on Namdevco’s board of directors to ensure there is synergy between both companies.

Gadsby-Dolly also said in fiscal 2023, a sum of $20 million will be allocated for the purchase of 7,000 laptop computers for teachers and students.

A 21-year-old woman and her 11-year-old brother narrowly escaped being burned alive at their Dalloo Village, Gasparillo home on Tuesday.

Reports indicate that the siblings were rescued by neighbours who saw them jumping through a broken window to escape the flames. The woman was bleeding from a chop wound to her hand.

Neighbours used a garden hose to extinguish the blaze, saving the majority of the property from ruin.

Police were alerted and a report was made to the Gasparillo police, who have since detained a relative for questioning.

The 21 year old reportedly told the police that she was in her bedroom when the suspect chopped her and then doused her with gasoline. Her brother was also in the bedroom.

The suspect allegedly locked the siblings inside the room and set the house on fire.

The siblings were treated for their injuries.

Gasparillo police are continuing investigations.

While on vacation in Antigua recently, two-time Olympic champion in the 100m and 200m Elaine Thompson-Herah dropped by Princess Margaret School to surprise a fan.

She shared video and photo highlights from her visit to the school on social media on Monday.

“It was a pleasure to take the time out and visit this school. I was on the island in Antigua for my vacation, and a fan reached out to me asking if I could come to his school, but I told him I couldn’t make it, but I turned it into a surprise,” said Thompson-Herah. “Nothing but love.”

The students were very happy to see the fastest woman alive.

On its Facebook page, Princess Margaret School described the visit as a “special day” for the school.

“Elaine Thompson- Herah visited our school and had a talk with our athletes. Why wouldn’t a champion like Elaine visit the Home of Champions? We are thankful that she came, and it was definitely a pleasure hosting her,” the post read.

Thomspon Herah visited the school, a public secondary school located in St John’s, on October 5.

Social media users reacted positively to the highlights Thompson-Herah shared.

“I’m a huge fan – had the honour of meeting you in ?? & you were so sweet & humble. Seeing you in the land of my birth ?????? encouraging young ppl further solidifies your icon status in my mind,” said one user with the handle mrtannis on Instagram

“The fastest woman alive taking time out to inspire the younger generation..all while on vacation in another Caribbean island. You have no idea the impact of your visit ok n those children. Please continue to do this as often as possible!!” said another Instagram user, gmaxprophoto.

Thompson-Herah is the first woman in history to win the sprint double at consecutive Olympics, capturing gold in both the 100 metres and 200 metres at the 2016 Rio Olympics and again at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She became the fastest woman alive when she ran 10.54 seconds at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, USA, in 2021.

The tropical islands of Antigua and Barbuda are located in the heart of the Caribbean about a thousand miles to the east of Jamaica and half that distance from Trinidad, according to visitantiguabarbuda.com. The island of Antigua was reportedly born out of the sea by a volcano about 30 million years ago.
