- The Caribbean remains highly vulnerable to hurricanes and other natural disasters, making preparedness and regional co-operation more important than ever.
To strengthen disaster response capabilities, the Barbados Defence Force and the British Armed Forces are working together to share expertise, enhance operational readiness and improve support for communities impacted by emergencies.
Sub-Lieutenant Jonathan Sweetland is with the Royal Navy.
The British team is also bringing technology that could prove valuable when disaster damage makes some areas difficult to reach.
For the Barbados Defence Force, the exercise is about building capacity at home while strengthening ties with international partners.
Assistant Staff Officer responsible for Operations and Training, Lieutenant Ramar Haynes, says the training will benefit both the Regiment and the Coast Guard.

- The Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill 2026 is being debated in the Senate.
Leader of Government Business Lisa Cummins says the Bill seeks to modernise Barbados’ legislative framework and bring the country into line with international standards for regulating virtual assets.
She says compliance is critical to protecting Barbados from future financial blacklisting and safeguarding its access to international capital markets.
Senator Cummins says the Bill also seeks to protect people from fraudulent investment schemes, while allowing room for innovation through a regulatory sandbox.
Opposition Senator Ryan Walters supports the need to protect consumers but warns that some international platforms could choose to stop doing business in Barbados if they consider the cost of compliance too high.

- Minister of Agriculture, Food and Nutritional Security, Dr Shantal Munro-Knight, says while innovation is important to the development of agriculture and the food sector, traditional practices must not be forgotten.
She was speaking at a church service this morning to mark World Food Day, being observed under the theme “Innovate Now, Nourish Later”.
Dr Munro-Knight says while her Ministry is looking at ways to introduce new ideas and innovation into the sector, it is important to recognise the value of practices and knowledge passed down through generations.
She says the benefits of those traditional methods should not be disregarded in the push to modernise agriculture.
The Minister is also encouraging Barbadians to support local production.

- Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association, Senator Ryan Forde, believes the Barbados Food and Rum Festival can provide a positive pathway for young people interested in pursuing careers in the hospitality sector.

- Description
- A meeting with the Transport Authority has prompted protesting public service vehicle operators, who had parked their vehicles, to return to work.
President of the Public Service Vehicle (PSV) Workers Association, David Doughlin, says the meeting was productive.
His comments come after protest action on Thursday and Friday by several PSV operators who are frustrated over a range of long-standing issues.
They refused to ply their routes, causing major disruption to the public transport system and consequently leaving many commuters stranded.
The association president is reminding the public that rising fuel costs and poor conditions at the Cheapside Terminal are among the reasons operators were forced to take action.

- A significant retooling will be required if Barbados is to be ready for the future.
Minister of Educational Transformation Chad Blackman made the observation during the product premiere of the Future Caribbean Buildathon at the Olympus Theatres Luma today.
He says that since Barbados is moving towards a knowledge-based economy, where ideas become the currency of the future, the country has to use AI to help in its development.
He says that treating issues such as sports, health, infrastructure and creating efficient systems to help reach targets is necessary.
The Minister adds that Barbados cannot do it alone; it must be a regional initiative.
The Minister congratulated the organisers of the initiative, while noting that getting people to understand AI is key.
