It would appear that plenty people have ‘trang for Observer’

Mr Ward I wish you well.

I wish though that the same way you used the airwaves this morning, you also would have used it to stand up and defend the company which you worked for, every time you interviewed the PM and his colleagues- especially after Observer was called a threat to the country in parliament. This did not happen.

The company has to draw the line and stand for something. They too cannot continue to allow someone to use their media house and still disrespect them. What would it say about the company if they did nothing?

When it was said in parliament that Observer is a threat to the nation, what did you as the host of the morning show say to the PM every time you interviewed or entertained him on the radio? Did you use the same airwaves the way you did today, to condemn the PM, for such harmful words and in parliament at that? (Me, personally I would not want to interview anyone who made those statements about an organisation that employs me unless an apology came publicly). Those are strong words n not to be taken lightly.

When the PM, as leader of this nation puts Observer’s financial business which is a private owned company n also your then employer on the radio, n in print media did you speak out about it? The PM didn’t do the same to the MANY companies that may owe landlords, APUA etc. He singled out Observer. Did you use the same airwaves the way you did today to express your disappointment or anger at the PM?

The government went on their witch hunt to tarnish and destroy your managing director, put him in handcuffs, in a cell, told the country he stole from a statutory board, did all manner of evil to destroy him.

When all charges were dismissed, did you use the same airwaves the way you did today, to speak out against the injustice done to your employer and others.

I wish too that you had used the same airwaves to ask the PM to be fair in equitable distribution of government ads. Not just for Observer your then employer, to meet their expenses and payroll for you and your colleagues, but most importantly for ALL the media houses.

It would appear that plenty people have “trang for Observer”, but they are OK with the present administration doing and saying anything they want.

Sometimes I wonder if media practitioners take their role seriously or if it is just about creating a name for themselves, because you seldom see them standing up for injustice or correcting the lies n misinformation. For many of you media personalities it’s all about you.

Fire Chief to TT: Be more conscious of safety

TT FIRE SERVICE Chief Fire Officer Arnold Bristo, on Tuesday, called for businesses and TT society as a whole to pay more attention to occupational health and safety, while speaking at the opening ceremony at of the American Chamber of Commerce (Amcham)’s two-day HSSE conference held at the HYATT Regency in Port of Spain.

“I believe that it is time that we as a society pay more attention to health and safety because it will reduce the risk of exposure to the losses that we see when companies go up, as well as the loss of employment and how it affects the economy,” Bristo said.

“Even in our homes, we need to pay attention to how we do things and how we store things. Always make sure that you have a proper plan of escape in the event that you have to do it. Sometimes you don’t know how fate would have it that you would need to do so and you must be able at all times to do so safely.”

Bristo, on behalf of the TT Fire Service accepted a donation of two Huawei Ideahub screens, which would be used to support the implementation of its national incident command system. The command system is designed to help fire-fighters through the projection of real-time high-quality video.

Phoenix Park Gas Processors Ltd President Dominic Rampersad who presented the donation said it was not just a donation from the gas processing company, but from the people of TT. He said that PPGPL has provided support to the Ministry of Health in its cancer treatment initiatives and the defence services in its response to natural disasters.

“As we re-imagine our world, we have to re-imagine, not just our companies but the role that our companies play in providing a service to our communities.”

Gymnast Newman-Achee overcomes adversity on Worlds debut

Trinidad and Tobago gymnast Annalise Newman-Achee overcame adversity on her debut at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Liverpool, England, on Sunday.

Prior to her performance, Newman-Achee had a “scary fall” from the uneven bars during a training session which resulted in her being placed under medical observation for 24 hours.

A statement issued by the TT Gymnastics Federation (TTGF) on Tuesday said that, at that time, it was uncertain whether she would have been allowed to compete.

It read, “In true Annalise fashion, she pulled through, and went on to compete with aggression, grace and pride, apparent in her floor routine and on the vault, competing routines with a new level of difficulty, and achieving an all-around score of 43.599.”

Her fall, however, was compounded by the very recent memory of being unable to compete at her best on the uneven bars at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games in July because of apparatus height restrictions.

Following that event, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) granted TTGF’s request to allow the uneven bars to be raised an additional five centimetres above the FIG apparatus norms to accommodate her routine at the World Championships since Newman-Achee is an “unusually tall gymnast.”

“Annalise and her coaches have expressed their immense gratitude to the TTGF for believing in her and for giving her the opportunity to represent TT, her father’s homeland, at the FIG’s most prestigious event.

“Annalise now returns to her gym full of enthusiasm and experience to continue her training so that she may be considered to represent TT in any upcoming regional and international events of 2023.”

This year’s championships fielded a competitive line-up of teams and individuals since this was the first time gymnasts had to earn the right to compete at the World Championships via events such as the FIG World Cup Series and Continental Championships.

These qualifiers also included this year’s Pan American Senior Championships where Newman-Achee gained qualification with a solid all-around performance of 46.266.

Additionally, on the weekend, a contingent from Olympia Gymnastics Academy, a TTGF-registered club, travelled to Panama to participate in the COPA IGA International Gymnastics Meet.

Fifteen TT gymnasts, competing from the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics beginner level to level eight, accompanied by their coaches Dale and Nanda Ali, flew to Panama City to compete in this annual club competition.

The TTGF commended Olympia Gymnastics Academy for taking the initiative to expose local gymnasts to the regional competition despite the sport being shut down for the last two years due to the pandemic.

“This also augurs well for the return to our own TTGF competitive season scheduled to begin early next year and to culminate in our 2023 National Invitational Championships.

“We look forward to receiving the report from this event, along with the exciting news of the athletes’ performances and their awards.”

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Red Force will be seeking back-to-back wins in the 2022 CG United Super50 Cup on Wednesday when they meet the Guyana Harpy Eagles at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba from 2 pm.

The Red Force, who were the champions in the 2021 edition, had a comfortable seven-wicket win over the Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC), in their opening Zone A game on Monday.

Akeal Hosein, the West Indies white-ball left-arm spinner, took four wickets for 38 runs, while fast bowler Jayden Seales had 2/1 and experienced off-spinner Sunil Narine grabbed 2/21 as the Red Force skittled out CCC for 119 off 33.3 overs.

The Red Force, led by an unbeaten 65 by ex-WI opener Kjorn Ottley, responded with 120/3 off 27.4 overs.

The Harpy Eagles were beaten by 28 runs against the Windward Islands Volcanoes in the other Zone A fixture on Monday, at the Queen’s Park Oval, St Clair.

Opener Alick Athanaze notched 133 and Johnson Charles made 64 as the Volcanoes tallied 296/4, and the Harpy Eagles, in their reply, were bowled out for 268 off 46.4 overs.

The Harpy Eagles will be looking to rebound from that setback when they meet CCC at the Oval, on Wednesday, from 9 am.

Ben Gvir, l’impétueuse star de l’extrême droite israélienne

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

Longtemps cantonné au rôle de trublion infréquentable de l’extrême droite, Itamar Ben Gvir est devenu une figure incontournable de la politique en Israël au point de s’imposer comme la possible clé de voûte d’un gouvernement…

Longtemps cantonné au rôle de trublion infréquentable de l’extrême droite, Itamar Ben Gvir est devenu une figure incontournable de la politique en Israël au point de s’imposer comme la possible clé de voûte d’un gouvernement de droite mené par l’ex-Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu.

Son alliance avec un autre ténor de la droite nationaliste religieuse est créditée de 14 sièges au Parlement après les législatives de mardi, selon les sondages de sortie des urnes. Ces sièges sont essentiels au projet de gouvernement de droite de M. Netanyahu qui cherche à revenir aux affaires.

Avocat de formation, Itamar Ben Gvir est devenu député en avril 2021, après des années à militer à l’extrême droite.

Ce père de six enfants, qui vit dans une colonie parmi les plus radicales de Cisjordanie occupée, défend l’annexion par Israël de ce territoire où vivent 2,9 millions de Palestiniens.

Il prône également le transfert d’une partie de la population arabe d’Israël, jugée déloyale, vers les pays voisins, et ne craint jamais de se rendre là où les tensions sont les plus fortes, mettant, selon ses détracteurs, le feu aux poudres.

A Jérusalem-Est, il clame “Vive le peuple d’Israël” sur l’esplanade des Mosquées, appelé Mont du Temple dans la tradition juive, épicentre des tensions. En mai 2021, alors que des violences dans le quartier de Cheikh Jarrah, où des familles palestiniennes sont menacées d’expulsion, sont le prélude à un embrasement, il y établit son bureau parlementaire en soutien aux colons.

Mi-octobre cette année, alors que des heurts y opposent à nouveau colons, forces israéliennes et Palestiniens, il s’y rend, sort une arme devant tous, avant de la ranger.

Le lendemain, ce père de 46 ans publie sur Twitter une photo de lui tout sourire avec deux de ses enfants, fusils en plastique en main, avec pour légende: “Après les émeutes (…) j’apprends aux enfants comment se conduire avec les terroristes”.

“Sauver le pays”

Né en banlieue de Jérusalem de parents séfarades, Itamar Ben Gvir puise son idéologie anti-arabe dans celle du rabbin extrémiste Meir Kahane, dont le mouvement Kach a été banni en Israël après l’assassinat en 1994 de 29 Palestiniens en train de prier à Hébron, en Cisjordanie, par un de ses sympathisants, Baruch Goldstein.

Itamar Ben Gvir, qui a milité dans Kach, a longtemps eu un portrait de Goldstein dans son salon mais dit avoir pris quelques distances depuis.

“J’ai changé (…) je disais il y a 20 ans qu’il fallait expulser tous les Arabes, je ne le pense plus, mais je ne vais pas m’excuser”, dit-il dans un entretien à l’AFP à Tel-Aviv. “Je viens sauver le pays; je suis en guerre contre les jihadistes et ceux qui veulent attaquer le pays”.

“Les gens veulent marcher sans risque dans la rue (…) les gens veulent faire une distinction claire entre ceux qui sont loyaux à l’Etat d’Israël –nous n’avons pas de problème avec eux– et ceux qui agissent pour saper l’existence de notre cher pays”, a-t-il encore déclaré mardi soir.

“Ben Gvir a réussi à faire croire qu’il est désormais sinon modéré, au moins un extrémiste plus respectable, ce qu’il n’est pas”, affirme Yossi Klein Halevi, chercheur à l’institut Shalom Hartman. “C’est un démagogue qui s’alimente de la peur, de la frustration et de la colère”.

– Futur ministre? – 

Inculpé des dizaines de fois depuis son adolescence pour incitation à la haine ou des violences, le député, également connu pour ses positions anti-LGBTQ, se vante d’avoir été innocenté dans 46 cas. C’est sur la recommandation des juges qu’il a entrepris des études de droit, pour se défendre lui-même, se targue-t-il.

Mais quand il ne vocifère pas, l’homme au visage mafflu apparaît presque affable, du genre que “les journalistes adorent interviewer”, relève M. Klein Halevi. “Il trouve toujours une bonne citation”.

Pour les législatives de mardi, il s’est de nouveau allié à Bezalel Smotrich au sein de “Sionisme religieux”.

L’ex-Premier ministre Netanyahu, dont le parti est arrivé premier, pourrait leur tendre la main pour former une coalition.

En échange de son soutien, M. Netanyahu pourrait promouvoir M. Ben Gvir au rang de ministre.

Mardi, M. Ben Gvir a indiqué qu’il voulait le ministère de la Sécurité intérieure, ce que M. Netanyahu n’a pas exclu mais qui provoquerait “une agitation continue, de la tension et de la haine dans la rue”, prédit M. Klein Halevi.
