Grammys 2024: Dua Lipa opens show and SZA sizzles

Pop star Dua Lipa opened the 2024 Grammy Awards with an athletic medley of her songs including Dance the Night, which is up for song of the year.
She was followed on stage in Los Angeles by Tracy Chapman, making a rare appearance to join Luke Combs, who covered her song Fast Car last year.

The winners so far include SZA, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, who used her speech to announce a new album.
Swift could make history later if she scoops her fourth best album award.
She is currently tied on three wins with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra.

R&B star SZA is the show's leading nominee with nine nods and had already won two awards in the Grammys pre-ceremony. She is still up for three of the night's biggest prizes - album, record and song of the year.
For her performance, the singer staged a recreation of the Crazy 88 fight scene from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill to accompany her song of the same name.
She was joined by a phalanx of sword-wielding female dancers who swiftly dispatched hordes of men in suits - a reference to her song's comical tale of killing her ex.

The first award of the night went Miley Cyrus, who picked up best pop vocal performance for her song Flowers.
It was the star's first Grammy, a fact she noted in her acceptance speech, telling the story of a boy whose futile attempts to catch a butterfly ended when he stopped swinging around a net and stayed still.
"And right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed right on the tip of his nose. And this song, Flowers, is my butterfly," she said.

Billed as "music's biggest night", the Grammys are the industry's most prestigious awards.
The line-up for Sunday's show includes legends like Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel and U2, alongside the biggest chart names.

Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Burna Boy and Travis Scott are also among the performers, with stars like Swift, Beyoncé and Doja Cat in the audience.
Even Meryl Streep turned up - supporting her son-in-law Mark Ronson, who was nominated for producing the Barbie soundtrack.
Only a handful of the 94 prizes are handed out in the live show, with the rest announced during a four-hour "premiere ceremony" in the afternoon.

That pre-ceremony saw multiple wins for indie-rock trio Boygenius, whose debut album The Record combines 1970s California rock harmonies with lyrics about love and friendship.
Rapper Killer Mike won three awards but was later filmed apparently being taken away in handcuffs backstage.
Kylie Minogue won her second ever Grammy, best pop dance recording, for the viral smash Padam Padam; while Joni Mitchell picked up best folk album for a live album that captured her return to the stage in 2022 after a brain aneurysm.
And South African singer Tyla made history by picking up the first ever award for best African performance.

W/CUP-FIFA unveils scheduling framework for 2026 tournament

MetLife Stadium in the American city of East Rutherford in the state of New Jersey, where the New York Giants and New York Jets play in the NFL, will stage the final of the next Fifa World Cup on Sunday, July 16, 2026.

World football’s governing body announced on Sunday the scheduling framework for the 104-match tournament featuring 48 teams across 16 cities in the three host countries of Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

According to a statement on the Fifa website: “The iconic New York New Jersey venue was awarded the honour of hosting the showpiece fixture, which will bring the curtain down on the most inclusive FIFA tournament ever.

“While this stadium has been more used to hosting the superstars of the NFL down the years, the best that soccer has to offer will head to the ground come 2026 as a different sport takes centre stage.”

The stadium was opened 14 years ago and was the venue for the final of the 2016 Copa America Centenario, when Chile defeated Argentina on penalties.

Numerous A-list musical entertainers have featured at the stadium, including Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift.

Fifa also announced that the Azteca Stadium in Mexico has been confirmed as the venue for the opening match of the tournament on Thursday, June 11, 2026, becoming the first stadium to host three FIFA World Cup openers.

The first match in Canada, which has never hosted a World Cup match, will be on Friday, June 12 at BMO Field in Toronto, where the city’s Major League Soccer team plays, while the opening match in the United States will be on the same day at SoFi Stadium in the city of Los Angeles, the home of the NFL’s LA Rams.

Mexico will have the honour of getting the tournament started in their capital city, kicking off proceedings in the historic venue, which hosted the World Cup finals and opening matches of 1970 and 1986.

Mexico will play all three of their group fixtures on home soil, with Guadalajara Stadium hosting their second match on Thursday, June 18, before a return to the Azteca on Wednesday, June 24, for their final group match.

The Azteca currently hosts both Club America and Cruz Azul of Mexican League, as well as the Mexico national team, while clubs such as Pumas, Atlante, Atletico Espanyol, and Necaxa have all previously played there.

BMO Field has has previously hosted matches the Fifa U-17 World Cup, Fifa Under-20 World Cup, and Fifa Women’s U-20 World Cup, and it played host to the climax of Canada’s campaign to reach the 2022 World Cup, when their ticket to Qatar was secured with victory over Jamaica.

Canada too, will play all three of their group stage match on home soil, with BC Place in Vancouver hosting their second and third group fixtures on Thursday, June 18, and Wednesday, June 24.

SoFi Stadium is the newest of the venues chosen to host matches in the tournament, having opened in September 2020, and it is situated only a 30-minute drive from the iconic Rose Bowl in the city of Pasadena, which hosted the World Cup final of 1994.

The United States will also play all three of their group matches on home soil, with Lumen Field in the city of Seattle in the state of Washington, where the Seattle Sounders play their matches in the MLS, hosting the national team’s second fixture on Friday, June 19, before the Americans return to SoFi for their final group match on Thursday, June 25.

The tournament will shift entirely to the United States from the quarter-final round, which will be held in the cities of Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami, and Boston.

Dallas and Atlanta will host the two semi-finals, Miami will be the site of the consolation final for third place, while Philadelphia will host a Round of 16 match on July 4 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in the country.

The 2026 World Cup will feature 104 matches instead of the traditional 64 games, including an additional knockout round due to the previously announced decision to expand to 48 teams from 32.

Qualification for the World Cup for Caribbean Football Union teams start on Friday, March 22, between the four lowest-ranked teams in Concacaf based on the Fifa world rankings on December 21 last year.

The four teams are, in ranking order, Turks & Caicos Islands, British Virgin Islands, United States Virgin Islands, and Anguilla.

The second round of qualification will feature the two winners of the first round and the confederation’s remaining 28 participating teams with matches taking place on two match days in June this year and June next year.

The final round of qualification will feature the group winners and runners-up from the second round for a total of 12 teams that will be divided into three groups of four.

Each team will play every other team in their group home and away, playing a total of six matches (three at home and three away).

These matches will be played during the Fifa international match windows of September, October, and November 2025, and the three group winners will qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup joining the co-hosts.

Additionally, the two best runners-up will represent Concacaf in the Fifa play-off tournament, so that the confederation could have up to eight teams at a World Cup for the first time.

US launches more strikes against Houthis

The US carried out more strikes against Houthi missiles in Yemen on Sunday, US Central Command (Centcom) said in a statement.
Centcom said US forces struck a land-attack cruise missile and four anti-ship missiles that "were prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea".

The latest action comes a day after joint US-UK strikes on Houthi targets.
It follows continued attacks by the Iran-backed group on military and commercial ships in the Red Sea.

The Houthis' attacks have forced major shipping companies to avoid the waterway, impacting international trade.
Egypt has said its revenue from the Suez Canal plunged by almost half in January, with the number of ships travelling through the key trade artery last month down by more than a third.

Saturday's joint US-UK strikes lit up the night sky in the south of Yemen's capital city of Sana'a, with one human rights activist and local resident telling the BBC houses were shaking.
Houthi officials struck a defiant tone in response to the US-led strikes - and vowed to respond.
Reacting to Saturday's strikes, the group's military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, wrote on X: "These attacks will not deter us from our moral, religious, and humanitarian stance in support of the resilient Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and will not go unanswered or unpunished."

Earlier, the White House had warned that its air strikes on Iran-backed targets in Iraq and Syria are just "the beginning, not the end" of its response to Iran.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told US media on Sunday "there will be more steps".

The US is responding to the deaths of three soldiers in an enemy drone attack on a military base in Jordan last week.
Iran has denied having any involvement in the drone attack, and its affiliate, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, has claimed responsibility.
The US accuses Tehran of having its "fingerprints" on the attack and said the drone was Iranian-made.
In a letter to Congress on Sunday, President Joe Biden said the retaliatory strikes on Friday had targeted facilities used by Iran's armed forces - the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - and militia groups linked to the IRGC.

Iran's IRGC is believed to have armed, funded and trained Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
Mr Biden said sites hit included those used for "command and control, weapons storage, training, logistics support, and other purposes".
And he added that the strikes aimed to deter these groups from further attacks, and were taken in a way "to limit the risk of escalation and avoid civilian casualties".
He also said that he would "direct additional measures, including against the IRGC and IRGC-affiliated personnel and facilities, as appropriate".

The American retaliation is also drawing growing condemnation from others in the region, including from the Iraqi and Syrian governments.
"No warning was given during the strike or the night of the strike," Farhad Alaaldin, a senior adviser to Iraq's prime minister, told the BBC's Newshour programme about Friday's strikes.
He added that the "issue of warning or no warning makes no difference to the fact of the matter that Iraq is a sovereign state".
A crowd gathered in Baghdad on Sunday to mourn the deaths of 17 pro-Tehran militia members in the US air strikes.
The group chanted "America is the greatest devil" and held up pictures of the victims as they followed a fleet of ambulances carrying their bodies.
Oman's foreign minister also spoke on Sunday to express his "grave concerns over the continuous escalation in the region", in a statement shared with the Oman News Agency.
Badr Albusaidi questioned the effectiveness of US retaliatory attacks, noting that "such actions compromise the region's safety, stability, and efforts to tackle challenges like violence and extremism".

Washington believes the strikes have "had good effect in degrading militia capabilities", Mr Sullivan said on Sunday.
He said the US is not looking to wage an open-ended military campaign in the Middle East but "is prepared to deal with anything that any group comes" at them with.
He declined to say whether the US had ruled out strikes inside Iran.

Since the strikes in Iraq and Syria on Friday, there has been one attack on American forces, a US defence official told the BBC.
The attack in question targeted US forces based at Euphrates in Syria using rockets. The official said there were no injuries or damage.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently en route to the region on a trip that will include stops in Israel, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the West Bank.
A hostage deal with Hamas that gets a pause in the hostilities in Gaza will be his "top priority", Mr Sullivan said on Sunday.
"We are going to press for it relentlessly" but the ball is in Hamas's court, he said.

TNT Government optimistic that US sanctions against Venezuela will not affect gas and oil deal

The Trinidad and Tobago Friday remained optimistic that it will not be affected by a threat by the United States to reinstate sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector, which is crucial to the economy of the South American country.

The threat by Washington came days after the highest court in Venezuela upheld a ban on opposition candidate María Corina Machado, who a primary to become the opposition’s unity candidate for the 2024 presidential election.

Last Friday, Venezuela’s Supreme Court confirmed a 15-year ban on Ms Machado running for public office and Venezuela rejected the US warning as “rude and improper blackmail”.

When the United States government issued its general licence number 44, that global licence to all and sundry that did not limit or dampen the enthusiasm of the government of Trinidad and Tobago to proceed along the path that we had started earlier,” Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley told a news conference.

Rowley, who has just returned home from the United States where he held talks on energy, crime and other matters with senior US officials, including Vice President, Kamala Harris, told reporters that Port of Spain had always adopt a policy of speaking directly to those involved in making decisions.

“From day one we did not put our argument or expectation under general licence number 44, which expires on the 18th of April. Those who rely on that general licence to do business with Venezuela that expiry is their problem. We never relied on that otherwise we would have been in that situation,” he told reporters, adding from “from day one we took a different path”.

Washington had imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector after President Nicolás Maduro was sworn in for a second term in 2019, following an election that the United States widely dismissed as neither free not fair.

The US loosened those sanctions in October last year after the Maduro government reached a deal with the opposition, laying some of the groundwork for free and fair presidential elections to be held in the second half of 2024.

Shortly after the deal was reached in Barbados, the US Treasury issued a licence temporarily allowing transactions involving Venezuela’s oil and gas sector.

However, Washington warned at the time that the licence would only be renewed if Venezuela “met its commitments under the electoral roadmap”, which included lifting the bans imposed on Machado and a number of other opposition candidates.

Energy and Energy Industries Minister, Stuart Young, told a news conference last October that Washington had issued through the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to Port of Spain “an amendment to the licence that we had requested in the terms that we have requested.

“The licence will now run for two years until October 31, 2025, which is more than enough time for us to get done what needs to get done.

“It also allows Trinidad and Tobago, working along with NGC (National Gas Company) and Shell, to negotiate, and complete negotiations and all agreements with the Venezuelan government and PDVSA for the development, production and export of that gas from the Dragon gas field in Trinidad and Tobago for us to develop it, and for us to make payments in FIAT currency, as well as US dollars, as well as Bolivar, as well as via humanitarian measures, which is what was envisaged initially,” he added.

Rowley told reporters on Friday “we are not and we got that confirmation during our meeting in Washington that we are not directly affected by the 18th of April activity.

“But of course the US government can change its position at anytime. Those of you who follow US politics, you would see by the hour what is happening in the United States about its own business, passing its own budget is turmoil that’s the word I would use .

“So changes can come. But we believe that some of these matters could survive and we are surviving. When we got that OFAC licence we went to Caracas and thelicence initially had a rider, which was unacceptable to Venezuela”.

Rowley said discussions were held with the Venezuelans and the United States “and we eventually got to a situation where that rider was removed, condition that were acceptable for forward progress was had and we got an amended licence…which expires on October 31, 2025.

He said with respect to the operation of the Dragon field “we have in our hand an exploration and production licence 30 years on that field,’ adding “those are the facts and the outcome of the work of the government of Trinidad and Tobago in a very, very, dificult situation”.

Rowley, who had earlier dismissed opposition suggestions that a pipeline from Venezuela to Trinidad would be in the vicinty of US$100 million, told reporters that no such figure had yet been arrived at.

Asked by reporters when Trinidad and Tobago should expect to record “first gas” from the Venezuela deal, Rowley replied “Shell is the operator and you wouldn’t see first gas until you hear we have done the assessment of the field, because the field has to be assessed and that’s the very next thing that you will want.

“You will see it step by step. The assessment of the field, then you will see a programme of drilling that will be announced, then you will see information about the pipeline (and) it is only in that context that first gas will become a reaility.

“It’s not going to be tommorrow , it is not going to be next year. But what it does, by …having the documentation in place that triggers the approval of the investment to be spent on the works. That’s how it goes in the industry.\

“So right now because of what we have been able to achieve with the restructuring of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) and the documentation with regards to the Venezuelan field and Manatee we have unlocked billions of dollars in investment in Trinidad and Tobago. But the actual molecule doesn’t appear for a few months…more like 36 months,” Prime Minister Rowley told reporters.

Early warning system launched to detect psychoactive drugs

Jamaica has become the fourth Caribbean country to establish an early warning system (EWS) on drugs, joining Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago.

The EWS will function as an institutional network of key stakeholders tasked with issuing alerts about new psychotropic substances, developing rapid and effective responses, and maintaining a surveillance system using information from multiple sources, including epidemiologists.

National Council on Drug Abuse (NCDA) will collaborate with 15 organisations, chiefly across public health and national security, to curtail drug abuse and illicit trafficking in Jamaica.

Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn said the rise in new psychotropic substances poses a significant threat to Jamaica, primarily because of the country’s geographic location.

“The country is very vulnerable to drug trafficking and trans-shipment syndicates. The introduction of new drugs is very unpredictable, is poorly understood, and presents distinctive requirements, not only for drug treatment and public health but also for law enforcement,” she explained.

Cuthbert-Flynn said that in 2022 the Government was alerted to a growing trend in the use of Molly among youth, and in October 2023 approximately 60 students of Ocho Rios Primary School in St Ann had to receive medical attention after they became ill following the consumption of cannabis-infused sweets bought from a vendor in the institution’s environs.

“Jamaica is very mindful that these new substances are already in our region, and we must be alert, we must be ready to tackle this problem head-on with proactive approaches,” she said.

Cuthbert-Flynn pointed out that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) early warning advisory reported more than 1,124 psychotropic substances up to December 2023.

“This early warning system is another important measure in Jamaica’s counter-drug efforts. I believe that Jamaica and the region will definitely reap the benefits of this system as a pre-emptive strike against the ills that traditional drugs, new psychotropic substances, and drug trafficking wreaks on the social, economic and political fabric of any country,” she stated.

Cuthbert-Flynn expressed gratitude to the international partners who were instrumental in establishing the EWS on drugs, namely the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction; Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission of the Organisation of American States; and Cooperation Programme between Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union on Drug Policies.

Executive secretary of Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission of the Organisation of American States, Ambassador Adam Namm said Jamaica’s launch of the EWS on drugs speaks to the Government’s commitment to combating the grave and growing risk of illegal synthetic drugs to the health and safety of Jamaicans.

“I know that you will reap benefits in terms of timely response to drug threats and, more importantly, the improved health and safety of your citizenry. We are committed to supporting Jamaica in addressing the drug problem, and I look forward to Jamaica’s early warning system developing into a model for other countries to follow,” Ambassador Namm said.


H.E. the Governor and the Premier issued Joint Statement on Crime

Her Excellency the Governor and the Honourable Premier Joint Statement on Crime - Summary of Remarks:

Today, the Governor and I share your grief and anger at the needless loss of life that has afflicted our community.

We condemn these reckless acts against our nation, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends who are suffering from these senseless acts.

This scourge of violence robs our youth of their future. It ruins lives. This is not a reflection of the values of the good people of this country.

Understandably, we hear the call for action. We have been resolute on tackling threats to the safety of our communities.

We want to assure you the police are actively investigating and implementing safeguarding protection measure of all witnesses to recent violence. We now want to explain to you how we are utilising every lever at our disposal to support law enforcement and assure the safety of our communities.

On the immediate operational response, we have secured a rapid deployment package with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO):

1. This includes the deployment within the next seven days of six firearms officers and a firearms commander to provide an immediate boost in tactical manpower.

2. Five investigators are also being deployed to drive forward investigations of the recent incidents to support operations of arrest in bringing those responsible to justice.

3. It is also critical we build our strategic intelligence-led operations and therefore, the deployment also includes a firearms operations planner and a criminal and intelligence analyst.

These individuals will expand our capabilities greatly to target our resources against the criminal networks.
We have extended Operation Shepherd for the TCI Regiment to continue to provide operational support to the police and are actively pursuing additional tactical support from regional partners.

In building longer term capability and resilience within the RTCIPF, we will be launching a targeted recruitment campaign for experienced tactical officers and serious investigators.

In addition, we are working with the FCDO to secure a wider comprehensive package of critical assets to strengthen intelligence and operational tactics. These assets will provide a step change for our law enforcement agencies in the fight against organised crime.

We are also working to strengthen border security and have secured UK investment in maritime support to improve our surveillance capabilities and domain awareness.

We continue to work with the US and Canadian law enforcement partners to underpin interdiction operations and enhance our resilience.

Our response needs to be holistic. The National Security Council is marshalling a multi-agency effort across law enforcement, immigration, prison, education, social services, health and the judiciary to reinforce efforts to tackle crime, stop its causes and mitigate its effects.

This is our end-to-end to plan to detect, disrupt and dismantle criminal networks, with an emphasis on addressing the drivers of crime.

The police are working on ways to care and protect vulnerable and intimated witnesses to come forward.

We appeal to everyone to help the police with their investigations. Any piece of information – however insignificant it might seem – can be pivotal to bringing the perpetrators to justice and restoring calm to our neighbourhoods.
May God bless you and may God continue to bless this beautiful by nature, Turks and Caicos Islands.
