Last update: 25 minutes ago

FIFA U-17 draw: Jamaica’s young Reggae Boyz have been handed a tough Group E at Qatar 2026, facing Italy, Côte d’Ivoire and Uzbekistan—no easy matches as the Caribbean hopefuls chase advancement. Crime policy debate: Barbados’ DLP says anti-gang legislation is a step, but argues it’s too focused on punishment and frontline offenders, not the money and structures behind violence. Public safety and policing: Prime Minister Andrew Holness ordered urgent JCF protocol review after public backlash over a police shooting, stressing life must be preserved even in high-alert situations. Unity Cup momentum: Unity Cup 2026 is confirmed as a FIFA Tier 1 event, with Jamaica set to play India in London next week, while organisers name Drew Uyi as official ambassador. Community rebuilding: Negril’s Tidal Rave is set for Labour Day weekend as nightlife and business energy returns after Hurricane Melissa. Health push: Jamaica’s Health Ministry signed MoUs to recruit specialist nurses and expand remote training, including plans for a simulation centre.
