Les espoirs républicains d’une “vague” au Congrès américain semblaient s’éloigner mercredi, les démocrates espérant pouvoir limiter la casse lors d’élections de mi-mandat tout aussi décisives pour l’avenir politique de Joe Biden que celui de son rival Donald Trump.

Le démocrate John Fetterman a arraché aux républicains le siège le plus disputé de ce scrutin, le poste de sénateur de Pennsylvanie, face à un candidat adoubé par le milliardaire républicain, selon des projections des médias américains.

Cette première victoire du camp de Joe Biden, dans une soirée extrêmement tendue marquée par un laborieux dépouillement des suffrages, offrait aux démocrates l’espoir de conserver le contrôle du Sénat, chambre où les républicains avaient jusqu’ici un léger avantage dans les sondages.

Incertitude au Congrès

Elle alimentait aussi les spéculations autour de la possibilité que le raz-de-marée conservateur à la Chambre des représentants, promis par Donald Trump, soit en réalité bien plus limité que prévu.

“Il est clair que nous allons reprendre la Chambre des représentants”, a affirmé le ténor républicain Kevin McCarthy dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi.

Cette hypothèse reste la plus probable.

Mais le parti, à qui l’on prêtait jusqu’à peu une percée de 10, 25, voire 30 sièges, se voit obligé de revoir ses ambitions à la baisse. 

“Ce n’est certainement pas une vague républicaine, ça c’est sûr”, a estimé l’influent sénateur Lindsey Graham, un proche de Donald Trump, sur NBC.

L’ancien président s’était jeté à corps perdu dans la campagne pour les élections de mi-mandat, misant sur le succès de ses lieutenants pour se lancer sous les meilleurs auspices dans la course à la présidentielle 2024. Il a promis “une très grande annonce” le 15 novembre.

Aux premières heures mercredi, le milliardaire de 76 ans a de nouveau assuré que les républicains vivaient une “super soirée” électorale, accusant les démocrates et les médias “fake news” de tout faire pour minimiser les succès de ses protégés. 

En menant une campagne acharnée sur l’inflation, J.D Vance, l’un des poulains de Donald Trump, a en effet décroché le poste très convoité de sénateur dans l’Ohio — un des bastions industriels et agricoles de l’Amérique.

Le contrôle du Sénat est lui donc désormais suspendu à quatre sièges: l’Arizona, la Géorgie, le Nevada et le Wisconsin. Le comptage de ces voix pourrait nécessiter plusieurs jours.

Sensation DeSantis

En attendant de voir où basculait le Congrès américain, l’attention se portait aussi sur les élections aux postes de gouverneurs. Et en particulier sur la Floride, où le gouverneur sortant Ron DeSantis a été réélu de manière triomphale.

Etoile montante du camp conservateur, possible prétendant à la Maison Blanche en 2024, il s’est félicité dans un discours offensif d’avoir fait de cet Etat du sud, longtemps considéré comme  penchant tantôt à gauche, tantôt à droite, une “terre promise” pour les républicains, où “l’idéologie +woke+ vient mourir”. 

“Je ne fais que commencer le combat”, a promis le gouverneur âgé de 44 ans.

De quoi titiller son potentiel rival à l’investiture et autre résident de Floride… l’ancien président Donald Trump.

Mais sur ce terrain aussi, le camp démocrate ne restait pas bredouille. Il a arraché aux conservateurs deux postes de gouverneurs aux républicains: dans le Maryland et le Massachusetts, où Maura Healey sera la première lesbienne à la tête d’un Etat. Joe Biden l’a d’ailleurs appelée immédiatement pour la féliciter.

Le parti du dirigeant démocrate de 79 ans s’est aussi épargné une grosse frayeur en conservant le contrôle de l’Etat de New York, où les républicains croyaient être en mesure de déloger la gouverneure Kathy Hochul.

Le camp de Joe Biden n’avait pas non plus dit son dernier mot dans l’Arizona, où le dénouement de la course entre la trumpiste Kari Lake donnée favorite, et la démocrate Katie Hobbs se faisait attendre.

Route du Rhum: la flotte de 138 marins est partie à l’assaut de l’Atlantique

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

Après un report inédit en raison de la météo, les 138 marins engagés sur la Route du Rhum se sont lancés mercredi au large de Saint-Malo à l’assaut de l’Atlantique, pour une traversée en solitaire que les plus rapides devraient effectuer en un temps record de six jours.

Au coup de canon à 14h15, les skippers -131 hommes et sept femmes- ont mis le cap toutes voiles dehors sur la Guadeloupe, sous un soleil radieux.

Une heure après le départ, Charles Caudrelier (Maxi Edmond de Rothschild), favori, a franchi le premier la bouée du Cap Fréhel (Côtes d’Armor), où des milliers de personnes étaient massées sur les rochers de grès rose pour acclamer les voiliers.

Mais il a passé la ligne de départ trop tôt, a-t-on appris auprès de la direction de course, et devrait en conséquence recevoir une pénalité de 4 heures à décider sous 48 heures, selon le règlement.

Sur l’eau, Armel Le Cléac’h (Banque Populaire) et François Gabart (SVR Lazartigue) étaient à sa poursuite. Tous trois sont à la barre de voiliers de la classe Ultim, des trimarans de 32 m de long capables de voler sur l’eau grâce à des appendices latéraux (foils).

Record en vue

Ces F1 des mers peuvent prétendre établir un nouveau record de traversée, détenu depuis 2018 par le vétéran Francis Joyon (7 jours 14 heures 21 minutes), également au départ cette année avec son trimaran Idec Sport.

En 2018, baptême du feu de ces voiliers volants, la classe avait connu beaucoup de casse. Mais, depuis, “on a beaucoup travaillé sur la sécurité, la fiabilité (…). On a tous progressé et on va plus vite”, a promis Le Cléac’h, qui avait chaviré après deux jours de course il y a quatre ans et avait été secouru par un bateau de pêche.

Cette année, “cela va être rapide pour aller jusqu’en Guadeloupe, le sprint sur l’Atlantique annoncé devrait être au rendez-vous”, a prédit Le Cléac’h.

Les prévisions météorologiques annoncent de bonnes conditions jusqu’à jeudi soir, où la flotte devrait affronter une première dépression marquée par des rafales de vent à plus de 90 km/h.

François Gabart, 39 ans, revient à la course en solitaire à bord d’un Ultim controversé mis à l’eau l’année dernière, qu’il a conçu entièrement. 

“J’ai envie de gagner, je me sens capable de gagner (…). Mais naviguer à bord de ce bateau n’est pas une pression supplémentaire, c’est une source de motivation. J’en suis un peu amoureux de mon bateau et j’ai très envie qu’il vive une belle Route du Rhum”, a expliqué le deuxième de la précédente édition, à sept petites minutes de Francis Joyon.

Départ décalé

Sur l’eau, la flotte, mélange de professionnels et d’amateurs, est composée de six catégories de bateaux: des petits monocoques ayant participé à la première édition, aux multicoques volant de dernière génération.

Comme Caudrelier, 16 autres navires de différentes catégories ont franchi la ligne de départ avant le coup de canon. Le navigateur britannique Sam Goodchild (Leyton), à la barre d’un trimaran Ocean Fifty, a lui été blessé et “transféré sur un bateau” de la SNSM, a annoncé son équipe dans un communiqué.

Derrière les Ultim, 38 voiliers de la flotte d’Imoca, les monocoques (18 m) du Vendée Globe, le célèbre tour du monde en solitaire, affichent de belles ambitions. Charlie Dalin (Apivia) et Thomas Ruyant (LinkedOut), à bord des bateaux les plus éprouvés, peuvent espérer traverser l’Atlantique en 10 ou 11 jours.

Grande première dans l’histoire de la célèbre course quadriennale, le départ, prévu initialement dimanche, avait été reporté à cause des très mauvaises conditions météorologiques.

Phased reoccupation of main building at CRH next year – Tufton Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Reoccupation of the main building at Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) in Montego Bay, St James is expected to begin on a phased basis next year.

Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton, made the disclosure while giving an update on the progress of renovation works on the multi-storey Type A health facility during the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (MBCCI) MoBay Expo 2022 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Rose Hall, St James on November 4.

Tufton said he is satisfied with the progress of repair works done over the last six months.

“From six months ago to now, I am a lot more confident in terms of the progress being made, and we do expect over the next year, the phased reoccupation of that facility,” he said.

The minister, during his contribution to the 2022-2023 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives in May, said work under Phases 1 and 2A of the rehabilitation programme had been completed at a cost of $1.3 billion.

Work under Phase 2B is now under way and is aimed at correcting structural defects. That phase of the repairs is expected to cost $1.7 billion.

Meanwhile, Dr Tufton noted that the Government continues to invest in the improvement of the island’s health infrastructure.

“There is a plan for major infrastructure development (in health). If you go to the Cornwall Regional Hospital site, you will see three cranes building out a six-storey, 250-bed facility for adolescent and paediatric care, and that construction is in full flight to be completed in another year or so. It will complement the Bustamante Hospital for Children, except that it also deals with adolescent care from 12 to 18 years,” he outlined.

“Nationally, there are big plans around building out Spanish Town, a six-storey facility, at a cost of US$60 million, and May Pen and St Ann’s Bay, under an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)-funded programme. So, from an infrastructure standpoint, we are making progress (in healthcare),” the minister further stated.

THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, second from right, collects the Wanderlust Travel Magazine’s silver award for Most Desirable Island from Wanderlust Travel editor-in-chief and CEO George Kipouros, second from left, at the conclusion of World Travel Market in London, England, Wednesday. Also present were Tourism Secretary Tashia Burris, right, and Tobago Tourism Agency Ltd chairman Alicia Edwards. – THA

TOBAGO has been awarded a silver award for Most Desirable Island from Wanderlust Travel Magazine, at World Travel Market 2022 in London, England.

Wanderlust Travel magazine’s editor-in-chief and CEO George Kipourus presented THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine with the award on Wednesday at the close of WTM.

A photograph of Kipourus presenting the prestigious award to Augustine was posted on the Office of the Chief Secretary’s Facebook page. The award ceremony took place at the Tower of London, one of England’s most prominent historical sites.

Wanderlust is one of the UK’s leading independent travel magazines. Each issue highlights exciting destinations and experiences off the beaten path.

Tobago Tourism Agency Ltd (TTAL) executive chairman Alicia Edwards, who is among Tobago’s contingent at the WTM, said the award provides “excellent validation” that the agency is making the right decisions in terms of its marketing strategy and the niche markets in which the island continues to operate.

Edwards said the award is an indication that the island’s ongoing strategy to revive interest in destination Tobago among the UK travel market was bearing fruit.

She said, “This award is like icing on the cake for us, coming unexpectedly at the end of WTM…It’s really wonderful to have this win after a difficult couple of years, and we will be building on this as we go forward.”

Edwards said Tobago’s incredible natural beauty and unique, authentic experiences set it apart from regional competitors, including Cuba and St Lucia, which placed fourth and seventh, respectively, as well as reputable island destinations such as Bali Bali.

She said the Most Desirable Island, won by Palawan, an island in the Philippines, was a reader-voted award, where 50,000 of real Wanderlust readers – some of the best travelled in the world – nominated and voted for their destinations of choice.

Edwards said Lyn Hughes, Wanderlust founding editor, visited Tobago’s stand at WTM on Wednesday to personally congratulate the Tobago delegation on winning the award.

She said Hughes was thrilled to see Toabgo take the silver award.

Hughes was quoted as saying: “One thing that really helped our readers become aware of Tobago is that we did a webinar, working very closely with the tourism board. I know that within the Wanderlust team, it was one of our favourite webinars over the last year. We absolutely loved it and we found the people involved in it such a pleasure to work with.”

Hughes added, “I think that webinar, along with some of the other things done over the years to highlight Tobago, really paid off and struck a chord with our readers as a spot that they may not have considered before, but since they found out about it, they knew that it was the destination for them.”

Commenting on the silver award, Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association vice-president Carol-Ann Birchwood-James said it could be used to further market the island as the ideal tourism destination.

“It is always wonderful news when we win awards because we can use the awards to continue to market our island of Tobago,” she told Newsday.

“I am sure it would have been an award off the beaten track because we are an unspoilt destination and we hope to keep it like that. It is always good news and I congratulate the people and the governance of Tobago for receiving an award like that.”

WHO Urges Changes To Global Vaccine Market To Save Lives – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: St. Lucia Times News

WHO’s Global Vaccine Market Report 2022, published today, shows that inequitable distribution is not unique to COVID-19 vaccines, with poorer countries consistently struggling to access vaccines that are in-demand by wealthier countries.

Limited vaccine supply and unequal distribution drive global disparities.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine against cervical cancer has only been introduced in 41% of low-income countries, even though they represent much of the disease burden, compared to 83% of high-income countries.

Affordability is also an obstacle to vaccine access. While prices tend to be tiered by income, price disparities see middle-income countries paying as much – or even more – than wealthier ones for several vaccine products.

“The right to health includes the right to vaccines,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.

“And yet this new report shows that free-market dynamics are depriving some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people of that right. WHO is calling for much-needed changes to the global vaccine market to save lives, prevent disease and prepare for future crises.”

Approximately 16 billion vaccine doses, worth US$ 141 billion, were supplied in 2021, almost three times the 2019 market volume (5.8 billion) and nearly three-and-a-half times the 2019 market value (US$ 38 billion).

The increase was primarily driven by COVID-19 vaccines, showing the incredible potential of how vaccine manufacturing can be scaled up in response to health needs.

Although manufacturing capacity worldwide has increased, it remains highly concentrated. Ten manufacturers alone provide 70% of vaccine doses (excluding COVID-19).

Several of the top 20 most widely used vaccines (such as PCV, HPV, measles and rubella containing vaccines) each currently rely mainly on two suppliers.

This concentrated manufacturing base leads to risk of shortages as well as regional supply insecurity. In 2021, the African and Eastern Mediterranean regions were dependent on manufacturers headquartered elsewhere for 90% of their procured vaccines.

Entrenched intellectual property monopolies and limited technology transfer further limit the ability of building and using local manufacturing capacity.

The health of markets is also concerning for several of the vaccines commonly needed for emergencies, such as against cholera, typhoid, smallpox/monkeypox, Ebola, meningococcal disease, where demand surges with outbreaks and is hence less predictable.

The continued limited investment in these vaccines could be devastating for people’s lives.

The report highlights the opportunities for more alignment of vaccine development, production and distribution with a public health agenda, towards achieving the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) goals and informing pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response efforts.

COVID-19 proved that vaccines can be developed and distributed rapidly, with a process lasting an average of ten years but never less than four years, compressed to 11 months.

The pandemic also exposed the long-standing need to recognise vaccines as a fundamental and cost-effective public good rather than a commodity.

To drive ambitious action to deliver equitable access to vaccines, the report calls on governments to act on: clear immunization plans and more aggressive investment and stronger oversight of vaccine development, production and distribution; regional research and manufacturing hubs; and pre-agreeing rules for government collaboration in times of scarcity on issues such as vaccine distribution, intellectual property and the circulation of inputs and goods.

Recommended actions for industry include: focusing research efforts on WHO priority pathogens, ensuring transparency, facilitating technology transfer, and committing to specific equity-driven allocation measures.

International organizations and partners should prioritize Immunization Agenda 2030 goals, support country-driven initiatives and push for the application of resolutions on market transparency.

Spice Speak On Her Health Reveals She Had Damaged Hernia, Sepsis

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Spice is finally addressing her Smurf fan base almost a week since rumors surfaced that she had experienced post-surgery complications.

A popular Instagram page that tracks celebrities who get plastic surgery claimed that the “Go Down Deh” singer had been in the Dominican Republic for a round 2 BBL, but she suffered complications, and her health was deteriorating as she was in a coma.

Other persons who claimed to be close to Spice’s family also said that the singer had suffered a heart attack. However, Spice on Wednesday expressed gratitude to God and explained that she had to get emergency surgery for a hernia.

“Thank you Jesus for saving my life,” she captioned a photo of her in a blue gown with her hand clasped in prayer. “Hey Besties I’m in a better space today to properly update you on my current health situation. I suffered a [damaged] hernia a few days ago that sent my body into sepsis, as a result I was rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery,” she continued.

The Love and Hip Hop cast member also addressed the rumors and said it was false.

“As you know I’ve been off Social Media for a while to rest mentally, so little did I know that during my medical scare it was already been said that I had a heart attack, I was in a Coma , and I also died. but none of that is true. However, I’m still recovering from what really happened so thanks so much for all the prayers and concerns, please take great care of yourself, eat, live, love laugh, like it’s your last day, I love you all so much,” the artist wrote.

Spice

In the meantime, Spice, who is known for her theatrics on stage which includes “boom flicking” and going on her head top while performing, also joked that she would not be jumping off of speaker boxes any time soon.

Since the rumors about her health began circulating, fans became concerned after the artist’s upcoming shows were canceled.

In her post, the artist apologized to promoters for the events she wouldn’t be able to attend as she recovers. One show in the Cayman Islands for Nov. 25th for Spice has now been postponed, with the artist promising that she will see her fans at a later date.

Fans of the artist also reacted to her posting for the first time since she was rumored to be hospitalized.

“Take care of yourself Grace. happy you are doing better,” Cecile wrote.

“Jesusssss!!!! @badgyalshanshan one thing about prayerrrrr. praise himmmmm Grace yuh had us ah bawllllll!!! So happy you’re okay my love!!!! Heal up, rest up! You’re blessed and highly favoured,” model Winnie Harlow wrote.

“Love you sis! Prayers for healing physically & mental peace,” Missy Elliot said.

Fellow celebs Deelishes, Amara La Negra, Mariah Lynn, London Hill, Davina Bennett, Ding Dong, Demarco, Seal Paul, Jah Vinci, and many others also sent her well wishes for a speedy recovery.

Red Force go top in Super50 Zone A

TT Red Force captain Nicholas Pooran made an unbeaten 56 against the Guyana Harpy Eagles, on Wednesday, during a CG United Super50 Cup match, at the Queen’s Park Oval, St Clair. Photo courtesy CWI Media

TT RED Force got their CG United Super50 campaign back on track with a six-wicket win over Guyana Harpy Eagles at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair on Wednesday, but Red Force captain Nicholas Pooran wants a more clinical performance from his players.

Red Force are now first in Zone A on 14 points with three wins, one loss and one no result.

Batting first, Harpy Eagles were limping on 77/7 in the 26th over. Leg spinner Yannic Cariah did most of the damage removing three of the Harpy Eagles’ batsmen.

Only opener Kemol Savory (32) and Tevin Imlach (34) offered resistance as the other batsmen failed to reach double figures.

Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie came to the middle and helped rescue the innings.

Pooran, who commended the effort of his bowlers, wants Red Force to bowl out teams more quickly.

“That is something we definitely working on, it’s a trend now (for teams to prolong their innings against us)…the last couple wickets keep forging partnerships. We are trying our best, (but) I think in the middle overs the ball gets a bit bigger.”

Red Force got half a chance to dismiss Shepherd early in his innings as he skied a ball to the mid-wicket fence, but Kjorn Ottley running back from mid-wicket and Terrance Hinds running to his left on the boundary could not get their hands on the ball. Ottley dived in an attempt to complete the catch, but his effort proved futile.

The Red Force players were frustrated as they felt Hinds had a better chance to complete the catch.

A 20-run partnership between Shepherd and Veerasammy Permaul took Guyana to 97 in the 32nd over, before the latter was the eighth wicket to fall.

Shepherd and Motie then put on 79 runs for the ninth wicket.

Pooran made a number of bowling changes, but it did not lead to immediate success for the home team.

Motie hit a six over long on off spinner Sunil Narine and Shepherd slammed medium pacer Hinds for a six over mid-wicket to reach his 50. His 50 came off 48 balls and included four fours and two sixes.

Red Force got the breakthrough when Shepherd was dismissed.

Shepherd tried to steer a wide, full-pitched delivery from Hinds down to third man but could only find Jason Mohammed at short third man. Shepherd hit four fours and three sixes in his knock of 56 off 50 balls.

Part-time off spinner Jyd Goolie got the last wicket, bowling Clinton Pestano for two as Guyana were all out for 182.

Motie ended on 39 not out off 47 deliveries with three fours and one six. Cariah grabbed 3/30 in ten overs, fast bowler Shannon Gabriel took 2/25 in seven overs and Hosein picked up 2/52 in ten overs.

Kjorn Ottley, who has played confidently throughout the competition, continued to demonstrate his stroke-making ability in the Red Force response.

His opening partner Amir Jangoo, playing in his first match of the tournament, gave his wicket away for two when he played a delivery from fast bowler Pestano to mid-on fielder Savory.

Ottley and Darren Bravo added 28 runs for the second wicket, before the former was caught and bowled by left-arm spinner Motie for 27 off 34 balls.

Bravo, like Jangoo, presented a gift to the Harpy Eagles as he played a short ball straight to Pestano at cover to give Motie another scalp. Bravo only contributed five as Red Force were now 60/3 in the 17th over.

Red Force kept throwing away their wickets as attempting a quick single Jason Mohammed was run out. Mohammed played a shot and took off, but was sent back by Pooran. Mohammed did not return to his crease in time and had to return to the pavilion.

Goolie looked solid when he came out and matched Pooran with his strokes, before rain interrupted play with Red Force 127/4 in the 26th over.

After a 35-minute rain delay play resumed.

Pooran took little time to settle down again hitting Motie for six over square leg.

The pair of Goolie and Pooran combined aggression and patience in a partnership which took the match away from the Jaguars.

After Goolie struck spinner Kevin Sinclair for a six over long off it was a race between the two batsmen to get to 50. Goolie was now on 45 and Pooran on 47.

Pooran won the race when he struck left-arm spinner Permaul for a six over long off.

Goolie got to the landmark minutes later with a single on the leg side. Red Force were now in sight of victory with only ten runs required.

The scores were level when Goolie struck Permaul for six over long on. A single off the next ball by Goolie ended the match as Red Force closed on 183/4 after 34.3 overs.

Goolie closed on 58 not out off 58 deliveries with two fours and five sixes and Pooran belted one four and five sixes in his unbeaten 56 off 47 balls. Motie was the best bowler for the Harpy Eagles ending with 2/44 in eight overs.

Pooran was happy with the win, saying, “Definitely satisfied. We obviously lost a game against Guyana as well and we wanted to win really bad in this game. Obviously, the other night here the two points against CCC (Combined Campuses and Colleges) obviously hurt us. We felt like we should have won that game.”

Red Force were less than 20 runs from victory against CCC on Monday when bad light ended the match. Red Force play Windward Islands Volcanoes on Saturday at Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba at 2 pm. A win will seal a semi-final spot for Red Force.

SUMMARISED SCORES

GUYANA HARPY EAGLES 182 (45.2 overs) – Romario Shepherd 56, Gudakesh Motie 39 not out; Yannic Cariah 3/30, Akeal Hosein 2/52, Shannon Gabriel 2/25 vs TT RED FORCE 183/4 (34.3 overs) – Jyd Goolie 58 not out, Nicholas Pooran 56 not out; G Motie 2/44. Red Force won by six wickets
