There's a suggestion dog insurance should be mandatory for people with certain breeds of dogs. It's coming from owner and head trainer of Loyalty Canine Services, Paul 'Ras Simba' Rock. He was speaking during a press conference called to address recent public outcry about dog attacks. Mr. Rock who was himself attacked by a German Shepherd Akita a few weeks ago while out walking, says he's yet to be compensated. According to him, the attack cost him thousands of dollars in medical bills and lost income, as he was unable to work. He believes this is one reason why insurance for what he calls the guardian breeds or dogs used for protection, is necessary. Ras Simba who is the owner of six big breed dogs, says poor dog ownership, not dogs is to blame for dog attacks. He believes all canines should receive some level of training.

UN Secretary General, António Guterres has hailed Latin America and the Caribbean as a place of peace, in a world where we see a proliferation of wars and conflicts of all kinds. He was speaking yesterday during a press conference at the Argyle International Airport in St. Vincent and the Grenadines where hundreds of diplomats, including Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, are attending the 8th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. The meeting is expected to focus on food security, peace, climate change and health care. Mr. Guterres was speaking on a day where over a hundred people queuing to receive humanitarian aid in Gaza were killed. Secretary General Guterres says it's time for a reform of international financial institutions, as he notes many small island developing states are being burdened by debt they were forced to take, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. He's also calling for more action to mitigate the impacts of climate change on small island developing states.

Retired Chief Labour Officer Vincent Burnett says a lot of the industrial action in Barbados could be avoided if collective bargaining was pursued in a true, just and mature way. Collective bargaining is a negotiation process between an employer and a group of employees, usually represented by a union, to determine their terms of employment, including working conditions, salaries and benefits among other things. Deputy General Secretary of the National Union of Public Workers Wayne Walrond, in supporting Mr. Burnett, says dialogue could go a long way, but not enough time is given in most instances for talks to occur.

Labour Minister Colin Jordan is again making it clear that all the steps taken to restructure and recapitalise the National Insurance and Social Security Service were necessary. Responding to a question about the current state of the Service, Mr. Jordan says in 2022 the 17th Actuarial Review showed that while the fund was in good shape, the risk was there for it to be depleted by 2034. He says following widespread consultation with stakeholders, adequate measures were taken.
