The Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go (TATT) says lo­cal ca­ble providers must se­cure the nec­es­sary in­tel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty rights to con­tin­ue broad­cast­ing US free-to-air chan­nels, warn­ing that NBC could be re­moved from line-ups if the dead­line is not met.

The Pa­tri­ot­ic Front (PF) has again re­ject­ed claims that it was part of any covert po­lit­i­cal arrange­ment dur­ing the 2025 gen­er­al elec­tion, in­sist­ing it nei­ther aligned with any par­ty nor en­tered the race to de­lib­er­ate­ly split votes.

Founder of Autism Unit­ed TT, An­nisa Khan-Mo­hammed, is urg­ing au­thor­i­ties to place more teacher aides in schools to bet­ter sup­port chil­dren on the autism spec­trum, say­ing gaps in the ed­u­ca­tion sys­tem con­tin­ue to place strain on both stu­dents and par­ents.

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says she has “no con­cerns” that Trinidad and To­ba­go is be­ing de­lib­er­ate­ly side­lined by act­ing Pres­i­dent of Venezuela Del­cy Ro­dríguez, de­spite her re­cent meet­ings with re­gion­al lead­ers in Bar­ba­dos and Grena­da.

Cari­com has warned that its plat­forms must not be used to ad­vance ter­ri­to­r­i­al claims, even as it reaf­firmed strong sup­port for Guyana’s sov­er­eign­ty fol­low­ing con­cerns raised by Pres­i­dent Dr Mo­hamed Ir­faan Ali over re­cent ac­tions from Venezuela.

Labour mar­ket sta­tis­ti­cian and po­lit­i­cal fore­cast­ing spe­cial­ist Dr Justin Pierre says the Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar-led Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) re­mains ahead one year in­to its term, ar­gu­ing that if a gen­er­al elec­tion were called to­day, the rul­ing par­ty would still se­cure vic­to­ry.

One year af­ter a de­ci­sive elec­tion vic­to­ry, Gov­ern­ment Sen­a­tors have giv­en the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) ad­min­is­tra­tion a near-per­fect re­port card, pro­ject­ing a nar­ra­tive of tri­umph and “bet­ter days”.

While the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) marks its first an­niver­sary of re­turn­ing to pow­er, the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) is fac­ing a pe­ri­od of in­tro­spec­tion fol­low­ing its 26-13 de­feat in the April 2025 gen­er­al elec­tion. Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Faris Al-Rawi, as­sess­ing the one-year mile­stone, sug­gests the re­sult was less an over­whelm­ing man­date and more a re­flec­tion of sys­temic vot­er ap­a­thy.

Gov­ern­ment Sen­a­tor Phillip Ed­ward Alexan­der is de­fend­ing his use of so­cial me­dia as a tool for po­lit­i­cal en­gage­ment, which he char­ac­terised as a form of “ac­tivism” that helped se­cure the Gov­ern­ment’s cur­rent man­date.

It’s been 365 days since the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) as­sumed of­fice, end­ing a decade-long stint on the op­po­si­tion bench­es.

Po­lit­i­cal an­a­lyst Dr Shane Mo­hammed has de­scribed Sham­fa Cud­joe-Lewis’ vic­to­ry in the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) To­ba­go Coun­cil in­ter­nal poll on Sun­day as a shock­er.

Nurs­es be­gan the first day of their work to rule yes­ter­day, main­tain­ing a one-to-six pa­tient ra­tio.
