    Dowdye, Jones Win Silver and Bronze in OECS 100m Final

    The 2026 OECS Track and Field Championships delivered a historic moment for Antigua and Barbuda’s athletics program on Wednesday, as sprinters Geolyna Dowdye and Soniya Jones climbed the women’s 100 meters podium together at St. Kitts’ Kim Collins Athletics Stadium. Dowdye clocked an impressive 11.47 seconds to claim the silver medal, while Jones followed just behind with a personal-best-equaling 11.65 seconds to take bronze, wrapping up a dominant final performance from the Caribbean nation’s rising sprint stars. The gold medal ultimately went to Saint Lucia’s Jady Emmanuel, who edged out the competition with a winning time of 11.39 seconds to top the results sheet.

    What made the occasion even more meaningful for Antigua and Barbuda was the presence of the country’s own sprint legend Daniel “Bakka” Bailey, who had the honor of placing the medals around the two young athletes’ necks during the official ceremony. Bailey, whose 10.19-second men’s 100m OECS Championship record set back in 2014 still stands unbroken more than a decade later, received a standing ovation from the crowd as he congratulated the new generation of sprint talent on their achievement. The dual medals marked an important addition to Antigua and Barbuda’s overall medal count at this year’s championships, reinforcing the country’s strong showing across all track and field disciplines throughout the week-long competition and highlighting the success of its youth athlete development programs.

  • Miracle Rescue: Venezuelan Security Guard Pulled Alive After Eight Days Beneath Earthquake Rubble

    Miracle Rescue: Venezuelan Security Guard Pulled Alive After Eight Days Beneath Earthquake Rubble

    Eight days after powerful twin earthquakes flattened a coastal shopping center in northern Venezuela, an extraordinary international rescue effort has yielded a stunning outcome: a 43-year-old security guard, trapped under hundreds of tons of debris, has been brought out alive. The survival story has injected a rare spark of hope into a nation grappling with its deadliest natural disaster in over 100 years.

    On June 24, two major quakes registering magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 hit Venezuela’s northern coastal state of La Guaira, collapsing the multi-story Galerías Playa Grande shopping center where Hernán Alberto Gil Flores was on duty. Working in the building’s basement parking lot, Gil Flores took shelter in a small, sturdy concrete security booth that withstood the catastrophic collapse above. The intact booth formed a life-sustaining air pocket, shielding him from crushing debris and giving him a fighting chance at survival.

    Over the course of more than 100 hours, rescue teams from seven nations — Venezuela, Costa Rica, Chile, El Salvador, Mexico, Portugal, and the United States — worked relentlessly against stacked odds to reach Gil Flores. The mission was plagued by unstable rubble, ongoing aftershocks that threatened further collapses, and drenching heavy rains that turned the wreckage into a slippery, dangerous work site. Multiple times, newly dug access tunnels caved in, forcing crews to start over and putting the entire operation at risk.

    Days into the search, crews first spotted Gil Flores using a specialized telescopic camera, and quickly established communication. Through a narrow shaft drilled into the rubble, they supplied him with clean water and liquid nutrition, extending his survival far beyond the typical 48 to 72-hour window that experts consider the limit for most trapped disaster victims. Remarkably, Gil Flores remained calm throughout the entire ordeal, conversing with rescuers about his family and even making specific requests for flavored hydration drinks as they worked to clear a path to him. Out of concern for his wife’s emotions, he asked rescuers not to alert her he had been located until the rescue was fully complete, fearing she would suffer unnecessary heartbreak if the operation ultimately failed.

    When crews finally pulled Gil Flores into the open air on Thursday, the team of first responders erupted in spontaneous applause and hugged one another, celebrating the rare win amid so much loss. Carried on a stretcher to a waiting Red Cross ambulance, Gil Flores emerged from eight days underground with no life-threatening injuries, a outcome rescuers are already calling nothing short of a miracle.

    Allan Madrigal, a Costa Rican Red Cross paramedic who was the first to hear Gil Flores calling for help through the rubble, recalled the moment as one of profound emotion. He told reporters he initially doubted his own ears, unsure that any survivor could still be alive days after the collapse. Minyar Collado, another member of the rescue team, added that crews repeatedly reassured the trapped man that they would not leave the site without extracting him.

    For Gil Flores’ wife, Gusbimar González, the eight days before the successful rescue were an agonizing wait filled with uncertainty. She told reporters she had lived through days of overwhelming anguish before finally receiving word that her husband was alive and safe.

    As search operations continue across La Guaira for additional survivors and victims, the miraculous rescue stands out as a moment of light in a disaster that has brought unparalleled devastation to the country. Venezuelan authorities confirm the twin earthquakes have killed at least 2,595 people, injured more than 11,000, and left tens of thousands of buildings damaged or completely destroyed across the northern region.

  • Maliek Francis Breaks National and Stadium Records to Win OECS Javelin Gold

    Maliek Francis Breaks National and Stadium Records to Win OECS Javelin Gold

    At the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Track and Field Championships hosted in St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda’s star thrower Maliek Francis delivered a career-defining performance that cemented his place in the region’s athletics history. Francis dominated the men’s javelin competition, launching the implement to a stunning 66.11 metres to secure the top spot on the podium.

    This extraordinary winning throw was more than just enough to claim gold: it rewrote two existing records in one go. First, it knocked out the long-standing Antigua and Barbuda national javelin record that had stood for 12 years. The previous mark of 65.70 metres was set by Oraine Brown at the 2012 NACAC Under-23 Championships held in Mexico, and Francis’ effort surpassed it by more than 40 centimetres.

    Beyond the national record, Francis’ throw also claimed the new stadium record at the Kim Collins Athletics Stadium, the host venue of the 2026 championships. He overtook the previous venue best of 60.40 metres set by Abijah Nemdhari, improving the mark by a substantial 5.71 metres.

    The historic win adds a sixth gold medal to Antigua and Barbuda’s overall tally at this year’s championships, and stands out as one of the most impressive and significant achievements in field athletics from the Caribbean nation in over a decade. Coaches and athletics analysts across the region have already hailed Francis’ performance as a breakthrough moment for Antigua and Barbuda track and field, highlighting the rising talent coming out of the small island nation.

  • Obductie bevestigt misdrijf na vondst lichaam vrouw aan Suralcoweg

    Obductie bevestigt misdrijf na vondst lichaam vrouw aan Suralcoweg

    A homicide investigation is underway in the Netherlands after the discovery of an unidentified woman’s body in Rijsdijk, with forensic tests confirming she died from a gunshot wound, local law enforcement confirmed this week.

    The remains were first located on Thursday, July 2, by a man collecting leaves in the area off Suralcoweg, a side road near a gravel pit in Rijsdijk. When the man stumbled across the body hidden in vegetation along a dirt side road, he immediately notified authorities, who quickly cordoned off the crime scene and secured the area for forensic processing. On orders from the Public Prosecution Service, the body was transported for a full autopsy to determine the cause of death.

    Preliminary and post-mortem examinations have now confirmed the case is a criminal homicide. Investigators told reporters the body was found in an advanced state of decomposition and was partially undressed. A spent bullet casing was recovered a short distance from the remains during the initial sweep of the site, indicating a firearm was discharged at or near the location where the body was dumped. Law enforcement says they are working from the working theory that the woman was killed either at the discovery site or elsewhere before her body was left at the Suralcoweg location.

    As of the latest update on July 5, investigators have not yet been able to confirm the identity of the victim. Based on initial forensic analysis, they believe the woman was between 20 and 30 years old, and roughly 150 centimeters tall. Several personal items were recovered alongside the body that investigators hope will help lead to identification, including a pair of glasses, a finger ring, and a single women’s high-heeled shoe. All of these items have been secured for forensic testing.

    The Major Crimes Unit is continuing the investigation at full pace, with authorities probing all possible scenarios related to how the crime unfolded and how the victim’s body ended up at the discovery site. In a public appeal issued this week, police urged community members who may have information related to the case, or who spotted any suspicious activity in the Suralcoweg area in the days before the body was found, to come forward immediately. Investigators stressed that even the smallest tip could prove critical to identifying the victim and solving the homicide.

  • Outgoing CARICOM Chairman calls for an end to leaders’ absenteeism from key decision-making

    Outgoing CARICOM Chairman calls for an end to leaders’ absenteeism from key decision-making

    The 51st regular summit of the 15-nation Caribbean Community (CARICOM) kicked off in St. Lucia Sunday, opening with a stark rebuke from outgoing Chairman Dr. Terrance Drew, who also serves as Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, targeted at regional leaders who skip critical decision-making gatherings.

    Drew’s opening address came amid a growing regional controversy tied to his role in announcing a second five-year term for incumbent CARICOM Secretary-General Dr. Carla Barnett, set to begin in August. The announcement has drawn fierce pushback from the government of Trinidad and Tobago, whose Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has publicly pledged not to recognize Barnett’s tenure after her current term expires on July 31, 2026.

    The dispute over the appointment process stretches back months: Persad-Bissessar walked out of a February CARICOM summit hosted in St. Kitts and Nevis before the vote on Barnett’s re-appointment, delegating her attendance to Foreign Minister Sean Sobers. Reports later confirmed Sobers ultimately did not travel to the summit venue on Nevis, citing safety concerns related to the required ferry crossing. More recently, Persad-Bissessar also missed a virtual CARICOM summit called to address her formal objections to the appointment process, a absence that drew quiet scrutiny ahead of the St. Lucia summit.

    At Sunday’s opening ceremony, Persad-Bissessar arrived at the venue only minutes after CARICOM’s Secretary-General delivered her opening address, aligning with the pattern of partial participation that Drew called out in his speech.

    “Whenever this community faces matters of great significance, let us ensure that every head of government makes every effort to be present,” Drew told assembled delegates. He went on to emphasize that CARICOM’s internal disputes should be resolved through closed, candid dialogue between member leaders, rather than through public posturing that plays out in media headlines.

    “No newspaper headline has solved a disagreement among Caribbean leaders. No public commentary has ever replaced honest dialogue,” Drew said. “But respectful conversation among colleagues committed to a common purpose has repeatedly strengthened this community. Trust is strengthened, misunderstandings are resolved, consensus is built [when we meet in person].”

    Despite the public rift over Barnett’s appointment, Drew struck a conciliatory note in key portions of his address. He publicly praised Barnett for her tenure, highlighting her consistent professionalism, unwavering integrity, and careful commitment to upholding the impartiality of the CARICOM Secretariat while faithfully executing leaders’ policy decisions.

    “Madam Secretary General, thank you for your professionalism, your integrity, and your steadfast commitment to this community throughout my tenure,” Drew said. “Whenever I called, you answered. Whenever support was required, you and your team responded with diligence, competence, and excellence. You have served with distinction, you have understood the importance of preserving the impartiality of the Secretariat while faithfully implementing the decisions of heads of government — that balance has strengthened this community.”

    Drew also reaffirmed CARICOM’s collective commitment to Trinidad and Tobago’s upcoming candidacy for a seat on the United Nations Security Council, noting that the region’s unified backing has been critical to the small island nation’s campaign. He stressed that CARICOM’s collective influence on the global stage is only possible when all member states stand together, even amid internal disagreements.

    “Although Trinidad and Tobago was the candidate, it entered that election carrying the united and public support of the Caribbean community,” Drew said. “That support demonstrated that when CARICOM stands behind one of its own, our collective voice commands respect on the world stage. One could not imagine that Trinidad, a very small country when considered against the rest of the world, would be in a position to compete for a Security Council seat on its own.”

  • Derde helft WK 2026: Noorwegen kikkert recordkampioen Brazilië eruit: 1-2

    Derde helft WK 2026: Noorwegen kikkert recordkampioen Brazilië eruit: 1-2

    The 2026 FIFA World Cup has delivered one of its most shocking early upsets, as European underdog Norway pulled off a sensational 2-1 victory over five-time tournament champions Brazil in Saturday night’s Round of 16 clash, eliminating the South American powerhouse before the quarter-final stage. Two late goals from Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland proved the difference for Norway, while a last-gasp penalty converted by Neymar deep into stoppage time came too late to force extra time for Brazil.

    Going into the match, Brazil entered as heavy favorites, with widespread expectations that the Seleção would dominate the dangerous but untested Norwegian side and progress to the last eight as they have done in most major tournaments. Norway had turned in a solid, unspectacular campaign through the group stage, but few predicted they would overthrow one of the global game’s most decorated nations. The first half delivered end-to-end action, with clear chances falling to both sides, and Brazil went into the break level at 0-0 after squandering an early penalty opportunity.

    Brazil started the match far below their expected level, which let Norway seize control of the tempo of play from the opening whistle. As early as the third minute, the Norwegians finished off a rapid counterattack, but the goal was ruled out for offside – a warning sign Brazil failed to heed. In the 12th minute, Kristoffer Ajer brought down Matheus Cunha in the penalty area. Referee Ismail Elfath of the United States initially waved away appeals, but after a VAR review, he awarded Brazil a spot kick. Midfielder Bruno Guimarães stepped up to take the crucial kick, but his effort from 12 yards was saved, leaving the match scoreless. Cunha missed another clear opening in the 24th minute, hesitating on the ball and wasting a promising break before he could get a shot or cross away.

    After the hydration break, Brazil came close to opening the scoring after a neat one-two between Gabriel Martinelli and Rodrygo, but Norway’s goalkeeper reacted quickly to turn the shot away for a corner. In first-half stoppage time, Arsenal star Martin Ødegaard threatened, and Martinelli just missed connecting with a deep through ball in the final seconds of the half, sending the ball harmlessly over the goal line to keep the deadlock intact going into halftime.

    Norway emerged from the locker room far the stronger side after the break, pushing Brazil back deep into their own half and pinned the favorites under sustained pressure. Looking to turn the tide of the match, Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti introduced teenage sensation Endrick in the 57th minute. Just 60 seconds later, Vinícius Júnior played Endrick through on goal one-on-one with Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, but the young forward blazed his effort off target, wasting what would be one of Brazil’s best clear chances of the second half.

    Norway went close to breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute, when Ajer found Haaland unmarked in the box with a wide cross, but the striker just missed getting a touch on the ball. Nine minutes later, another Norwegian attacking move forced Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker into a sharp save to push the effort away for a corner. In the 79th minute, Haaland made the breakthrough: he outjumped Brazil defender Gabriel Magalhães to meet a cross inside the six-yard box, powering a header past Alisson to put Norway up 1-0.

    After falling behind, Brazil threw everything forward in a desperate search for an equalizer, and nearly forced an own goal from a Norwegian defender, but Nyland was alert to make a vital save to keep his side ahead. Haaland put the result seemingly beyond doubt in the 90th minute, firing a crisp low strike from outside the penalty area past Alisson to double Norway’s lead to 2-0.

    In the final seconds of stoppage time, Brazil was awarded a second penalty after Casemiro was fouled in the box. Substitute Neymar converted the spot kick to cut the deficit to 2-1, but the final whistle blew immediately after the restart. Norway held on for the historic upset, booking their place in the World Cup quarter-finals and sending five-time champions Brazil crashing out of the tournament in the Round of 16.

  • Currie: zorgvuldige herbeoordeling oorzaak uitstel examenresultaten

    Currie: zorgvuldige herbeoordeling oorzaak uitstel examenresultaten

    Suriname’s Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (OWC) has announced a four-day delay to the release of final havo and vwo exam results, a shift driven not by technical grading processing errors as initially speculated, but by a need to complete a careful reassessment of two mathematics papers, Mathematics 1 and Mathematics Q. The final scores, originally scheduled for publication on July 3, will now be announced publicly on Tuesday, July 7, according to OWC Minister Dirk Currie.

    In an official statement shared via the Communication Service of Suriname, Minister Currie clarified that no systemic integrity issues affect the exam results overall. The delay was implemented solely to ensure adjusted grading for the two math exams can be finalized fairly before scores are released to students. Two separate issues were identified in the 2026 math exams: students were found to have been insufficiently prepared for one specific question on the Mathematics 1 paper, while two questions on the Mathematics Q paper were incomplete.

    Following the discovery of these exam irregularities, ministry officials held consultations with math instructors and school leadership across the country, after which a decision to adjust the grading framework for both papers was reached. “That is why it became necessary to push back the release of school results by a few days. All adjustments must be completed before Tuesday, which will allow us to publish the final definitive results on that day,” Currie explained.

    The minister noted that rare procedural irregularities like these can occasionally occur in large-scale national exam administrations, but stressed that prioritizing fair and thorough assessment must always take precedence over adhering to an arbitrary original timeline. No student should ever be placed at a disadvantage because of flaws in exam design, he emphasized. “We must always remain focused on upholding quality, because what matters most is that we deliver a quality outcome that treats every student fairly,” Currie said.

    He added that core principles of equal treatment and procedural fairness were at the center of the decision to delay results. “We have to treat every candidate equally, while also staying true to the fundamental principle of justice for all students taking these high-stakes exams,” Currie stated.

  • Minister Greene Receives High Commendation for His Successful Chairing of the CHOGM 2026 PrepCom Communiqué Negotiations in London

    Minister Greene Receives High Commendation for His Successful Chairing of the CHOGM 2026 PrepCom Communiqué Negotiations in London

    Four days of intensive multilateral negotiations in London concluded with a landmark milestone for the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), as senior diplomats and Commonwealth leadership have widely hailed the skilled chairmanship of Antigua and Barbuda’s Foreign Affairs, Trade and Immigration Minister E.P. Chet Greene, who also leads the CHOGM 2026 Task Force.

    Scheduled to run from November 1 to 4, 2026, the 28th CHOGM will be hosted by the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, bringing together heads of government from all 56 Commonwealth member states to align collective policy priorities and advance shared action. The Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) that gathered in London serves as a critical early step in the summit’s organizing process, bringing together delegations from every member nation to finalize core outcome document text and set the official meeting agenda.

    At the heart of the PrepCom’s work was the negotiation of the meeting’s foundational communiqué. This draft document acts as the starting point for all summit deliberations, allowing member states to refine proposed policy language, align overlapping priorities, and map out the overall policy trajectory for the 2026 gathering. It provides the framework for member governments to build consensus on shared commitments to address transnational issues of mutual concern, with the end goal of producing a final communiqué that reflects the unified voice, core values, and collective priorities of the entire Commonwealth bloc.

    Over four days of in-depth, solution-focused discussions, delegations worked through a full slate of key Commonwealth priority areas, ultimately reaching agreement to adopt the Final Draft Communiqué. The successful adoption marks a major milestone in the entire CHOGM 2026 preparatory process, underscoring the widespread commitment across member states to building consensus on the core themes and outcomes that will guide head-of-government deliberations when the summit kicks off in Antigua and Barbuda.

    Both the Commonwealth Secretariat and representatives from across member states have issued public commendation for Greene’s steady, inclusive, and results-oriented leadership throughout the negotiations. Officials noted that his balanced approach kept dialogue constructive across all sessions, encouraged flexibility from competing delegations, and steered talks toward a fair, inclusive outcome rooted in collective consensus rather than division.

    In response to the praise, Greene extended his own commendation to all participating delegations for the spirit of cross-border cooperation, mutual respect, and constructive diplomacy they brought to the negotiating table throughout the four-day process.

    The finalized draft communiqué will now move through formal Commonwealth procedural steps ahead of the 2026 summit, which will bring heads of government together under the official theme “Accelerating Partnerships and Investment for a Prosperous Commonwealth.”
    Beyond the core PrepCom negotiations, Greene maintained a full schedule of complementary official engagements during his time in London. He hosted a dedicated roundtable with private sector business leaders to build momentum for the upcoming Commonwealth Business Forum, one of four official official side forums that will run alongside the 2026 summit alongside the Women’s Forum, People’s Forum, and Youth Forum. He also held productive meetings with Commonwealth Secretary-General Shirley Botchwey, and conducted a bilateral discussion with Chris Elmore, the United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Multilateral Affairs, Human Rights, Latin America and the Caribbean.

    Greene received consistent support from a team of Antigua and Barbuda diplomatic officials throughout all London engagements, including High Commissioner Karen-Mae Hill, Minister Counsellor Chantal Phillip, Second Secretary Brent Scotland, and Third Secretary Caleb Gardiner. As the host nation, Antigua and Barbuda continues to maintain close collaborative working relationships with the Commonwealth Secretariat and all member states to ensure CHOGM 2026 delivers meaningful, practical, and forward-looking outcomes that deliver value to all 56 Commonwealth nations.

  • CARICOM Leaders Gather in St Lucia for Regional Summit Amid Secretary-General Dispute

    CARICOM Leaders Gather in St Lucia for Regional Summit Amid Secretary-General Dispute

    As the clock struck down on July 5, 2026, top political leaders from across the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) touched down in St. Lucia to kick off four days of high-stakes dialogue at the organization’s 51st Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government. This year’s gathering, which opened its doors on Sunday, brings together chief executives from all 15 CARICOM member states, with a packed agenda focused on tackling the region’s most urgent, long-running challenges.

    Among the core priorities on the summit’s schedule are ambitious climate change adaptation and mitigation action, strengthening regional food and nutrition sovereignty and security, accelerating cross-border digital transformation, deepening integration of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), and charting a path forward to resolve the persistent political and humanitarian crisis unfolding in Haiti.

    To mark the start of the new summit cycle, St. Lucia Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has taken over the rotating CARICOM chairmanship for the next six months, and will serve as the presiding officer for all formal meetings and negotiations over the course of the gathering.

    Despite the broad alignment among member states on most key agenda items, the entire summit is expected to be overshadowed by a growing public dispute over the reappointment of CARICOM Secretary-General Dr. Carla Barnett, a Belizean-born economist. The controversy stems from a decision reached earlier this year: during a February special summit held in St. Kitts and Nevis, all member states issued a unanimous agreement to extend Barnett’s tenure for an additional five-year term. However, new Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has publicly stated that her administration does not recognize the February extension decision, and confirmed she intends to formally raise the issue for debate during the St. Lucia summit.

    Even with this high-profile disagreement hanging over the gathering, multiple senior regional leaders have privately and publicly downplayed concerns that the dispute will derail progress on the summit’s core policy agenda. Many have expressed confidence that delegates will be able to set the controversy aside to advance shared priorities that impact millions of people across the Caribbean.

    The summit’s formal opening ceremony featured a diverse lineup of speakers, including new chairman Pierre, outgoing CARICOM chairman and St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, Secretary-General Barnett herself, and youth representative Rahym Augustin-Joseph, a Commonwealth Caribbean Rhodes Scholar, bringing a young generation’s perspective to the opening of the regional talks.

  • Murder Accused Hospitalized After an apparent suicide attempt at His Majesty’s Prison

    Murder Accused Hospitalized After an apparent suicide attempt at His Majesty’s Prison

    A 24-year-old man facing a murder charge, Jermaine Nicholas, has been hospitalized for urgent medical care after what is widely reported to be a suicide attempt behind bars at His Majesty’s Prison. Information about the incident began circulating publicly this Sunday, confirming that prison staff first responded to the emergency before rushing the accused to an outside medical facility. As of the latest updates, government and prison authorities have not released any official statement confirming the details of the event or disclosing Nicholas’ current health status. The case against Nicholas dates back to a fatal stabbing incident on March 25, which claimed the life of 29-year-old Jahmarley Pierre close to the All Saints traffic intersection. According to official police allegations, the violent confrontation between the two men unfolded just after 5 p.m. that day. Pierre was immediately transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre for emergency care, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries at the facility. Following his initial court appearance in connection with Pierre’s death, Nicholas was remanded into full custody at His Majesty’s Prison. The defendant, who lists his address as Ovals, All Saints, was formally denied bail. Under the local judicial system, magistrates lack the legal jurisdiction to grant bail in first-degree murder cases, leaving the accused to await further procedural steps in custody. Nicholas is currently scheduled to reappear at court for upcoming committal proceedings, which will determine if his case will move forward to a full trial. As of press time, the prison administration and national law enforcement agencies have not shared any official comment to confirm or clarify details surrounding the reported in-custody medical emergency.
