 Welcome to NTIA Nightly, I am General Norville. This edition, Stop Stories. Major infrastructure development has been airmarked for Labry OJ, including housing projects. The second phase of the Kaldisak Bridge Reconstruction Project commences and Free Kick Foundation donates to the Boys Training Centre. Major infrastructure development is airmarked to begin in the constituency of Labry. The announcement was made at the installation of a new constituency council. Hamadi Mark reports. The installation of the Labry OJ constituency council brought about the announcement of major development plans set for the constituency. Minister for External Affairs, International Trade, Civil Aviation and diaspora affairs and Parliamentary Representative for Labry, Hon. Alva Baptiste. Soaring collaboration with the newly installed local government entity made mention of several infrastructural plans for the community of OJ, including the construction of a multipurpose centre. We have been to OJ, an identifier site for the erection of the multipurpose centre. We have identified the site for the multipurpose court. We have identified the site for a playing field in Upper OJ. In this endeavour to revitalise the constituency, Hon. Alva Baptiste also announced an initiative for the village of Labry aimed at increasing the employment rate among youth, particularly young women of the constituency. In the Labry village, we are looking at the Labry beachfront for the transformation that I spoke of when I was launched many years ago. We have developed the concepts and we are further fine-tuning the concepts the entire beachfront will be transformed. Economic infrastructure will be erected there to make it available to the unemployed members of our constituency, especially young women who are looking for an opportunity and consistent with that youth economy, we will have a serious transformation of the beachfront to ensure that Labry can exist and survive independent of any cash flow from the Government of St. Lucia. Minister in the office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for housing and local government, Hon. Richard Frederick, implored the councillors to work diligently towards the advancement of their constituency. So take your responsibility with every degree of seriousness. Let your consciences be your guide. Remember the needy. In whatever you do, remember the poorer ones. They need us. They need us. Some of them can't talk for themselves, but they need us. Take care of them. And God will take care of you. Thank you very much. The installation of the Labry OG constituency council was held for the first time in the community of OG. Joseph Joseph was appointed as chairperson and Lidra Chico as deputy chair. From the Government Information Service, Hilmadi Mark reporting. Minister for Home Affairs, Hon. Dr. Virginia Albert Poyat is this week reviewing recommendations coming from an in-depth management meeting with divisional heads of the St. Lucia Fire Service. The minister says she was particularly keen on hearing the concerns and experiences emanating from the outpost stations. The highlight of the meeting she said was the overwhelming call by firemen for a new fire service headquarters. The high point of our discussion has been the long overdue fire headquarters. And that has been brought to the attention of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers and they are starting to give some consideration to that idea. So we are still exploring the possibility of a suitable location and how soon we are going to start the whole exercise. So we know our police also need the headquarters. We know the firemen need the headquarters. So we have a lot of our hands, but we are trying to manage it as best as we can. Fire officers also expressed some concerns with the reception of the public on accident sites, but noted that most sections of the public remain very cooperative. In the discussion with the fire officers, they do have challenges with the public because the request for the use of ambulance is very frequent, is very high and they have limited transport to do that. They also face challenges with some members of the public who are giving some unnecessary calls and when they arrived at the site they felt that these did not really deserve ambulance service and there are some areas that are inaccessible and it's very difficult for them to reach those sites to help these people, to take them for the type of service that they need at the hospital. Another critical issue that came up for discussion during the high-level meeting was whether the ambulance service should be removed from the operations of the St. Lucia Fire Service and be placed under the purview of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs. Members of the Craft and Dry Goods Vendors Association are participating in a training seminar on COVID-19 protocols. We get the details in this report by Rachvarro Lawrence. The Ministry of Tourism, Investment, Creative Industries, Culture and Information in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Health is facilitating a three-day COVID-19 protocol training for vendors of the arcade and craft market. Tourism Officer Samantha Charles explained that upon completion, vendors will receive a certificate of COVID compliance from the Ministry of Tourism. This enables vendors the ability to leverage their status as safe operators as well as increased marketability as they will be listed on the Ministry's website where their status will be featured as well. The intention of the training is to really bring to the attention of the vendors the health and safety guidelines that has been set aside for the operations and those guidelines came about by a number of site visits to both establishments in the Ministry and the Ministry of Health to determine the example where proper exit is required, social distancing, etc. So following those site visits of COVID-19 action plan was developed for the vendors arcade and craft market to be replicated for the craft market and the protocols were developed out of that COVID-19 action plan so we're hoping that at the end of the week we have as many vendors as possible trained to meet our subsequent sessions next month over the rest of the vendors and that they understand what their state operations entail, what they should do and should follow and how they engage their clients or visitors and workers when they come to the craft market and the vendors come here. Approximately 90 vendors will be trained at the 3-day workshop. President of the St. Lucia Craft and Dry Goods Vendors Association Peter Isaac highlighted that the training will allow vendors to be able to once again benefit from the tourism sector especially with the cruise season having recently commenced. This exercise here now is to make sure that the vendors understand the protocol and understand how to behave and the approach and regulations of the group so that they could behave as accordingly to what is supposed to be. So we are pleased that this is our plan to co-appreciate because we are responsible in the industry of health and tourism for the vendors association and we are happy because we want the facilities that we have vendors there who are looking after living from the tourism industry to be a part of it so to speak. If they come to the workshop and they are considered to be people who are trained and they are COVID certified then the facility with a few of them can be COVID certified that's the important thing for us because we think that we have been making a significant contribution to the development of tourism basically and that we would like to participate we would like to be involved especially with the crew sector. The training is scheduled for the 2nd to the 4th of November 2021 from the Government Information Service Rajvaro Lawrence reporting. The Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal has announced the commencement of the 2nd phase of the Curly Sack Bridge Reconstruction project. The works will involve the construction of the bridge's superstructure beginning with the assembly of scaffoldings for the construction of PVC hollow slab girders. Construction of the substructures was completed by the middle of October 2021 and the overall reconstruction was 40.3% complete at the end of October. The project for the reconstruction of bridges in the Curly Sack Basin aims to mitigate against the CVF flooding that occurs in St. Lucia's 2nd largest flood plain. A grant agreement to finance the project was made between the Government of St. Lucia and Japanese International Cooperation Agency JICA on August 2017. JICA is the executing agency of the grant aid for the project. The reconstruction is on course to be completed 21 months from March 1, 2021 commencement date. Meanwhile, the Department of Infrastructure continues to caution minibus operators to utilize the lay-by along the Millennium Highway for the boarding and disembarking of commuters and not the Curly Sack Millennium Highway intersection. Commuters are likewise cautioned to await buses on the lay-by. Despite previous warnings, minibus operators have continued to stop near the intersection and in one instance a motor vehicular accident involving a minibus occurred on Monday, November 1. The Ministry of Infrastructure is working closely with law enforcement to ensure adherence to the relevant signage.

Pie I have your challenge for the head of the country for action and not to lose the cap to save the world Prime Minister Pie is addressing for a stong confidance that created a gold 99% for social change that means skill Mr Pritzker, you, Vice Prime Minister This is the first news to speak about in Paris in France, 2015 Prime Minister Pie It is a difficult task to save the example we had Prime Minister Settlesi to draw points The situation of the people who continue to live here is very bad for this country that has developed. We should do something to save them if the country supports energy, natural energy, solar energy and other quality. They say that to see that we all need to pay attention to their ways to continue to live in a way that is not possible. The Prime Minister has asked his Secretary of State to deliver a promise that will be made in Paris to address these diverse climate change problems. He promised that there will be 100 billion dollars in place for this. And it is still the money that we need to invest. The Prime Minister has promised that the whole country will have the responsibility to address these climate change problems. And I have already passed the decision that has been made in Paris to come to reality. The Prime Minister has also asked his Secretary of State to consider these types of problems that have developed in the European Union. He has also promised that we will continue to live in a way that is not possible. He has also said that there will be a good conscience and good responsibility to make sacrifices and pay for the land and the industry. He has also said that we should continue to live in a way that is not possible. He has also said that it is not possible that we continue to live in a way that is not possible. He has also said that we should continue to live in a way that is not possible. And that is the good reason for the smaller countries to participate in this kind of climate change. This is the good reason for the future for us to be able to get the next step. So, it's not for us to come out with a generation of leaders who have a lot of chances to settle the situation in the country, but I am ready not to place our first.
