The Min­istry of Works and In­fra­struc­ture is warn­ing pedes­tri­ans to ex­er­cise cau­tion when us­ing the Chan­der­nagore Walkover near the Chase Vil­lage Over­pass, say­ing the struc­ture has de­vel­oped struc­tur­al is­sues.

The fall­out from a US drone strike that de­stroyed a ves­sel off Venezuela’s coast has deep­ened, as con­flict­ing nar­ra­tives con­tin­ue to emerge be­tween of­fi­cial gov­ern­ment state­ments and re­ports from in­de­pen­dent me­dia in that coun­try.

Po­lice said 59-year-old Daniel Kawall of Palm Road, Val­sayn North, went miss­ing with his ve­hi­cle, a Toy­ota Hilux reg­is­tered TCM 1784, on Wednes­day, Sep­tem­ber 3.

Fol­low­ing a warn­ing from the Nurs­ing Coun­cil, COSTATT (the Col­lege of Sci­ence, Tech­nol­o­gy and Ap­plied Arts of Trinidad and To­ba­go) has in­formed stu­dents who reg­is­tered for the Ad­vanced Cer­tifi­cate in Nurs­ing As­sis­tant Pro­gramme that they will be de-reg­is­tered from the course.

Dr Lin­da Sobeh Ali, Am­bas­sador Des­ig­nate of the State of Pales­tine to T&T, pre­sent­ed her cre­den­tials to Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Kan­ga­loo to­day at The Pres­i­dent’s House.

A new unit of spe­cial re­serve po­lice of­fi­cers de­ployed to 50 high-risk sec­ondary schools next week will be armed.

Af­ter stand­ing for more than two cen­turies, the his­toric Port-of-Spain Prison will soon be de­com­mis­sioned and the in­mates there will be tem­porar­i­ly re­lo­cat­ed to the Max­i­mum Se­cu­ri­ty Prison in Arou­ca.

T&T was the sole Cari­com mem­ber to back the Unit­ed States’ mil­i­tary pres­ence in the re­gion at an emer­gency meet­ing of the Com­mu­ni­ty of Latin Amer­i­can and Caribbean States (CELAC).

Ef­fec­tive im­me­di­ate­ly, Caribbean Air­lines (CAL) will tem­porar­i­ly sus­pend flights be­tween Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Cara­cas, Venezuela.

Amid crit­i­cism of the US mil­i­tary’s han­dling of its strike on an al­leged drug-car­ry­ing ves­sel off Venezuela on Tues­day, the De­fence Min­is­ter says the North Amer­i­can na­tion is free to con­duct its ‘war’ as it sees fit.

Venezuela’s Jus­tice Min­is­ter Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo is deny­ing US Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s claim that the US mil­i­tary de­stroyed a Venezue­lan ves­sel with drugs that could have been on the way to Trinidad. And he has al­so launched an­oth­er at­tack on Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, la­belling her a “drunk” leader.

That’s how Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der yes­ter­day de­scribed Venezue­lan Min­is­ter Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo’s re­port­ed de­scrip­tion of T&T Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar as a “drunk”.
