L’Ukraine a reçu lundi de nouveaux systèmes occidentaux de défense antiaérienne destinés à contrer les missiles russes, qui pleuvent régulièrement sur les villes du pays en provoquant coupures d’eau et d’électricité à l’approche de l’hiver.

Après plusieurs séries de frappes russes qui ont laissé des centaines de milliers de personnes sans courant, les autorités de la région de Kiev, la capitale ukrainienne, ont évoqué une situation qui reste “tendue” pour l’approvisionnement en énergie. 

L’administration militaire régionale a appelé les habitants à “utiliser l’électricité avec parcimonie”, alors que l’opérateur Ukrenergo a dû procéder à des “arrêts d’urgence”.

Une attaque russe aux drones et missiles avait laissé le 31 octobre près de 80% des habitants de la capitale sans eau et 350.000 foyers sans électricité, avant qu’une partie des dégâts ne soit réparée.

Pour faire face à ces bombardements, le président Volodymyr Zelensky a réclamé aux pays occidentaux la création d’un “bouclier” à même de protéger les infrastructures critiques ciblées par Moscou.

Selon le ministre de la Défense Oleksiï Reznikov, Kiev a reçu lundi des systèmes de défense antiaérienne NASAMS et Aspide, fournis par les Etats-Unis, l’Espagne et la Norvège.

“Ces armes renforceront considérablement l’armée ukrainienne et rendront notre ciel plus sûr”, a écrit M. Reznikov sur Twitter.

Ces livraisons suivent celles, notamment, du système allemand de dernière génération “Iris-T” ou encore des missiles sol-air français “Crotale”. Le Royaume-Uni a annoncé l’envoi de missiles AMRAAM.

Face aux bombardements russes, les Occidentaux espèrent doter l’Ukraine d’une défense antiaérienne “patchwork” à partir d’équipements pour certains modernes et pour d’autres plus anciens.

Selon les autorités ukrainiennes, la Russie a détruit environ 40% des infrastructures énergétiques ukrainiennes depuis début octobre, utilisant notamment des drones-suicides de fabrication iranienne.

 – “Stabilisation” à Kherson –

Côté russe, les autorités d’occupation de la ville de Kherson, dans le Sud de l’Ukraine, ont annoncé la “stabilisation” de l’approvisionnement en eau et électricité au lendemain de deux frappes pour lesquelles Russes et Ukrainiens s’accusent mutuellement.

Ces frappes ont également endommagé le barrage hydroélectrique de Kakhovka, occupé par les forces russes et qui alimente la Crimée annexée, dans une région où les troupes ukrainiennes sont à l’offensive depuis des semaines.

“Les experts (…) ont partiellement rétabli le fonctionnement des approvisionnements vitaux dans chaque micro-district de la ville”, a indiqué lundi l’administration d’occupation à l’agence russe TASS.

Kherson est la principale ville ukrainienne prise par les forces russes depuis le début de l’invasion en février. Face à la bataille à venir, Moscou y a organisé des évacuations d’habitants dénoncées comme des “déportations” par Kiev.

Si les quatre derniers débuts de semaine ont été marqués par des bombardements russes massifs sur les villes ukrainiennes, la matinée de lundi a été relativement calme, avec un ciel gris et brumeux à Kiev peu propice aux raids aériens.

“Cela fait huit mois que nous savons que cela peut arriver tous les jours et nous nous sommes adaptés, je ne change pas ma routine pour cela, je vais travailler comme tous les jours”, a déclaré à l’AFP une habitante de la capitale, Aliona Plekh, 21 ans.

Selon l’armée ukrainienne, les forces russes ont lancé 4 missiles et 24 bombardements aériens ces dernières 24 heures dans l’ensemble du pays.

Au moins une personne a été tuée dans les bombardements dans la région de Zaporijjia, dans le Sud, une blessée dans celle voisine de Kherson et une autre tuée dans celle de Soumy, dans le Nord, selon les autorités régionales respectives.

L’armée russe a elle accusé une nouvelle fois les forces ukrainiennes d’avoir tiré “sept obus de gros calibre” sur la centrale nucléaire de Zaporijjia, la plus grande d’Europe, occupée par Moscou depuis mars, sans provoquer de hausse des radiations.

Le porte-parole du Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, a répété lundi que Moscou était “ouvert” à la possibilité de négociations avec Kiev, dénonçant une nouvelle fois le refus de Volodymyr Zelensky de dialoguer.

A Zaporijjia, dans le Sud de l’Ukraine, les habitants ayant fui l’occupation russe ont raconté aux journalistes de l’AFP une atmosphère de paranoïa faite de fouilles et de confiscations de téléphones.

“On devait effacer tous nos messages. Dieu nous garde si nous disions quelque chose contre la Russie. Personne ne se sentait en sécurité”, a raconté Irina Mykhaïlena, originaire de la ville occupée de Berdiansk.

Inquest into death of AUA student to be held today; but post-mortem still required before body can be released to relatives

Black Immigrant Daily News

The coroner’s inquest into the death of American University of Antigua (AUA) student Kenneth Matthew is being undertaken today, November 7.

A source says the coroner, Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh, and a small jury panel are expected to view the body at the funeral home.

It is also hoped that a post-mortem examination will take place later today, since Matthew’s family has asked for the process to be expedited to facilitate the body being flown back to Qatar for burial.

A source says that Matthew’s father and uncle, who are currently on island, paid a visit to the coroner to make this request.

Reportedly, the men were assured that the inquest would be undertaken quickly. However, based on the law, a post-mortem will have to be conducted to determine the exact cause of Matthew’s death before a death certificate is issued and the body is released.

Matthew, who was struck by a car two Sundays ago, succumbed to his injuries in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre last Wednesday, November 2, at 10:40 a.m.

The man alleged to be responsible for the accident, Karim “Ice Cream” Edwards, is currently on bail on a charge of dangerous driving.

The Police are yet to upgrade the charge to causing death by dangerous driving; however, this might be dependent on the results of the post-mortem examination.

Still hospitalized is Matthew’s female colleague, 19-year-old Priyanjana Das, who lost an arm as a result of the accident, but is otherwise expected to make a full recovery.

Former Jolly Beach Resort workers struggle as they await severance promised weeks ago

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

Former Jolly Beach Resort (JBR)workers are concerned and upset that they have not received their severance payments, promised by Prime Minister Gaston Browne more than three weeks ago.

The workers have been waiting for their severance and other entitlements for over two years now. And although the Antigua and Barbuda Worker’s Union (ABWU) has collaborated with them to ensure their payout tallies are correct, no one has been issued a cheque, to date.

Responding to a question from MP Jamale Pringle, during a recent sitting of Parliament, Browne claimed the severance money is in an escrow account; and it is left to the Administrator of the property to determine when those funds will be disbursed, he said.

Meanwhile, a man called in to a radio programme over the weekend, complaining that he and the former employees continue to struggle. Some of them have lost their vehicles or homes; some are owing rent; and others are unable to support their families, he says.

The disgruntled resident says the Browne Administration should save itself the embarrassment and pay up the severance and gratuities – or he, along with others, is willing to chain himself to the gates of the property before the hotel can be opened again.

The former employee is asking whether there is actually any money being held in escrow, as is alleged by PM Browne.

Meanwhile, Alex Browne – the United Progressive Party Candidate for St. Phillip’s North and a former Jolly Beach worker, himself – is also wondering what is taking so long for the money to be released from escrow.

But, in the meantime, he is extending appreciation to the Union for its hard work in assisting workers to verify what is owed to them.

The former employees are owed more than $7 million, reportedly. The hotel was forced to close its doors in March 2020 as result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated its existing financial woes.

The St. James’s Club Antigua Limited is now conducting repairs on the hotel with a view to reopening it by mid-December.

THE Parliament’s National Security joint select committee (JSC) will hold a virtual public meeting on Wednesday from 2.30 pm.

Within recent times two of its members, Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal and Opposition Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial have called on the committee to meet urgently to question officials from law enforcement agencies about the state of crime in TT.

In a signed letter dated October 26 to Moonilal and Lutchmedial, JSC chairman Keith Scotland reminded them that when the committee last met on October 25 it agreed to conduct “an examination into the factors that contribute to the prevalence of illegal firearms and gun violence in TT.

Scotland, who is Port of Spain South MP, said October 26 was set as the tentative date set for the JSC to receive submissions from stakeholders.

He said, “Given the compatibility of the current inquiry with your request, the committee may be willing to consider using this opportunity to interrogate the issues raised in your correspondence (Moonilal’s and Lutchmedial’s) at the earliest opportunity.”

Scotland directed the committee’s secretariat to circulate Moonilal and Lutchmedial’s letters to the other JSC members and have their request “discussed at the next meeting of the committee as a matter of urgency.”
