Just go now, Mr Young

T&T broke Rio Treaty
But in a response to Mondello's statement last evening, Young said his comments in the Upper House were "misconstrued. I never said that the Ambassador did not raise the visit of Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez nor did I say that the Ambassador did not raise the Rio Treaty," Young said.

Young: Conversation with ambassador addressed Rio Treaty, not breach

US envoy: Young and I spoke of Delcy

HOLD ON, CXC
"Given the fact that now, because of the covid19, CXC is projecting that the final grades will be awarded based on paper one, which is the multiple choices and the SBA, therefore, we are questioning whether that will be enough to provide the integrity and the rigorousness required to award these final grades to students," she said.

Fraud delays rental aid for 2,000 Tobagonians
"We are aware that no landlord in Trinidad or Tobago to date has received this rental assistance, as there must now be a verification process, via site visits, to ensure that the information being provided on these applications is indeed accurate. We know that the process is taking longer than it should but there is a lot of work happening in the background at this time, so that the applications can be honoured in the shortest time possible."

AG: Public outcry needed for UNC to support bail bill
Al-Rawi said the Government's position was that anyone charged with possession of a gun and or ammunition will have to convince a court why they ought to be granted bail as opposed to an automatic denial of bail. Last Friday the opposition did not support the bill which had been previously passed by the Senate last November to curb possession of any "prohibited weapon" defined as "artillery or automatic firearm, or grenade, bomb or other like missile."

New senator JW: I want to be the conduit for the 'grass roots man'
Asked about his chances of unseating the incumbent MP Dr Fuad Khan he replied: "It's in the hands of the Father. I'm just going to put my best foot forward. You go in it to win it, but at the same time how everything has been going so far and how I've been approaching it I think the sky's the limit. That would be such an amazing accomplishment not only for the PNM and in terms of shaping the outcome of the election but just a feel good story."
