US reopening visa and consular services at embassy in Cuba
"The U.S. embassy in Cuba is opening to Visa and consular services for the first time since diplomatic staff members experienced unexplained health issues in 2017. Visa and consular services were closed on the island after embassy staff were hit with a series of health incidents from alleged sonic attacks that remain largely unexplained that meant that many Cubans who wanted to legally migrate to the U.S. had to first fly to places like Guyana, the embassy says it will begin processing immigrant visas with a priority placed on permits to reunite Cubans with family already

"Want to build a house, but there's no electricity hook up or sewage service. So now the government is building new residential areas, paving the way with the infrastructure that's needed for that. And so there's a lot of people building houses. And so our ordinary citizens of the country themselves benefiting or are they benefiting from the building that's going around them. It's both. So there are things like new hotels that are popping up. And things like that. But in terms of the building of new houses, there are people who are moving into new residences, getting cars, the number of car registrations, has spiked dramatically in the last two years. You're starting to see right now, effects of this. You know, when I talk to people in Guyana, the discovery was announced in 2015. So people have been looking forward to these changes for a long time. And in truth, they didn't really see them. There wasn't much visible effect. Until the last year or so. Now you see the construction popping up all over Georgetown. You see more cars on the road. You see new residents as being built. So people are starting to feel it slowly, but surely. In our average citizens in favor of it, do they like the idea of the oil drilling or is there a controversy around it? You know, you talk to most people in Guyana they like, of course, the idea of their standard of living raising. You know, so many people in Guyana have been living essentially in poverty for so many years. The idea of new revenue, new development. That's all very attractive to most people. Of course, there are people who oppose this on environmental grounds, but if you look at kind of the average citizen in Guyana, I think most people are excited and also a little impatient about those revenues affecting their lives. They want to see the changes. So how did the government deal with this just massive influx of money? I spoke to the vice president. And he said, there is a lot of pressure on the government whenever you get all this new money coming in to spend it immediately. And he said it's very difficult to tell people that the government just can't do that. Because the risk is that the economy overheats inflation spikes and the net effect of all this is actually detrimental to the economy that you're kind of wasting this influx of money if you spend it too fast. And that's kind of a hard sell for people who haven't had any money for so long to say, you know, we've got to be patient. We've got to hold on to this for a while. They've got to kind of tread that line in terms of spending the money on new projects and also not spending it too fast. One of the risks is that the economy of Guyana becomes so dependent on oil. It's basically becomes a lopsided economy. So if there's ever a downturn in the market, for example, the whole economy would feel that in a potentially catastrophic way. So the government wants to take a lot of this revenue coming in to actually diversify the economy. So that's one of the things that they're always preaching in political speeches, and that sort of thing. The importance of creating other industries, besides oil. So Guyana's neighbor Venezuela grows another big oil producing nation. Our other countries in the area sort of looking at Guyana and saying, huh, this is a model for what we want to do also. One of the interesting countries to look at is Barbados in the Caribbean. Mia Motley. She's prime minister of Barbados. She has become a really prominent voice in environmental circles. She was the keynote speaker of cop 26. The UN climate summit last year

"Use much of the oil revenue to build one infrastructure to kind of protect against climate change. And that would include things like reinforcing the sea wall. There's a seawall right now that runs along 280 miles of coastline and that needs to be reinforced and expanded because the Caribbean is projected to rise up to 6 feet by the century if things stay on course as they are. So part of the money would go to infrastructure like that. Part of it would go to basically a new energy grid. That would be a post oil energy grid. So the leaders say that they want to use this money, basically use oil money to finance the transition away from one. And it sounds paradoxical and it's. First blush, I guess, like something that goes against most kind of environmental thinking, like to embrace oil production. Yeah, it comes years after the developed countries of the world have promised to wean themselves off. The Guyana will make the arguments that it's not fair to a developing country. To not be able to have some of the benefits from the oil industry. When the developed world has benefited from industrialization and the benefits of fossil fuels and contributed the line shared climate change, which countries like Guyana. Right. Stuck with the built in ticker. Well, I have to say so much in this story, it's a really great deep read, and I'm thinking even for this weekend on the upcoming holiday weekend, really worth getting into. And this is the quandary that you find many developing nations. And thank you so much.

John Zmirak: America Is Patty Hearst
"Talk about the piece that you wrote behind you. People who watch this on video can see behind you the image of a young Patty Hearst, symbiote, the symbionese Liberation Army in the 70s when we were kids kidnapped her. She was of extremely wealthy heiress. And people who are younger wouldn't know this, but something happened. Her captors sort of brainwashed her into thinking the way they were thinking. So that she sided with the people who tortured and raped and kidnapped her. And it's called Stockholm syndrome. And you've written a piece that's streamed dot org that deals with that. So go ahead and tell us about that piece. Yeah, Patti Hearst was grabbed by a bunch of San Francisco radicals of the kind that formed Kamala Harris, Willie Brown was the political mentor of Kamala Harris. He was also the political mentor of Harvey Milk, the gay activist and the reverend Jim Jones, the left wing cult leader who started that compound in Guyana and got everyone to take cyanide and drink in the Kool-Aid. This ferment, this world of crazed radicalism is what gave birth to the woke movement, which currently dominates the entire Democratic Party and is being posed on the United States.

"Just totally dead. Yeah, it can not come back. This spring, relentless rains caused the creeks to rise. Many houses and farms were already raised to cope with floods, but it wasn't enough. Under feet of water, this area looked like a Lake, one filled with rotting livestock and flooded homes. And the waters stayed for three months. No one had ever seen anything like it. I don't really know about climate change, yeah, but you can just see what is going on. Ragnarok looks down at the deeply cracked soil beneath his feet. Like many farmers here, he worries about the floods coming back. He plans to hire an excavator to raise his fields higher again. Raised fields, taller dams, higher sea walls. Guyana faces steep costs because of climate change, it did nothing to help cause. And now it's joining the world's oil producers. To see if adding to climate change pays off. Wow, Camila, I have so many questions. Hit me. What was Guyana's reputation before Exxon discovered oil? When it came to greening their economy, how were they seen by the rest of the world? They were literally a role model. I mean, I mentioned that Guyana captured more carbon than they released. It's called being a carbon sink, and that's super rare. But also, Bart jag deal, who you heard in that piece, he actually negotiated this big groundbreaking agreement where Norway, which is very rich, off of oil. Actually paid Guyana for the carbon that was being captured in these preserved rainforests. The idea was that rich countries who had been emitting a lot of carbon owed bunny for this, right? They could pay it to developing countries that were capturing carbon. And he won a big UN award for it. That deal was seen as a path that other developing countries could follow to develop but in a green sustainable way. Got it got it. But you know, today looks back on this deal with both pride and bitterness. Like he's very proud that Guyana actually did manage to get paid for the carbonate captures, which was very unusual. But he's really furious that it was so hard to get what was ultimately not very much money. And I mean, for comparison, they were fighting to get $5 a ton for all the carbon that was being captured by trees, growing in Guyana, right? Meanwhile, rich countries are throwing money at research to high-tech, direct air capture technologies that do the same thing, but they're willing to pay hundreds of dollars a ton for these experimental tech. Yeah, I can see how that legitimate unfairness creates a deep sense of bitterness because it's like, well, we're trying to abide by this global sensibility, but it's actually hurting us in the end. Yeah, and today, the oil deal has already brought in more money than this big decade long deal with Norway ever did. And oil production has barely started and Guyana has gotten a tiny sliver of the profits so far. Which just goes to show how phenomenally profitable oil and gas is right now. And the long term it's not guaranteed how much money guyan is actually going to make off this deal. But certainly in the short term, they've already made more money than they managed to secure through the forests. In dollars and cents, the economics are pretty clear. Which is more profitable for Guyana. Are we seeing this pattern in other developing countries? Yeah, so it's Guyana is unusual in that it has at exactly this moment discovered so much of this fossil fuel resource. We have seen some other examples Suriname right next doors in a similar boat, Mozambique in Africa, discovered natural gas. And you can also step back and sort of say big picture if you're talking about a tradeoff between making money today and fighting climate change in the future. If you look around the planet, countries, including big, rich countries are choosing and have chosen money historical. So how long does the guyanese government think they will be drilling for oil? This is the absolutely central question. And there's so much writing on it, not just for Guyana, but for the world. If the planet stops consuming oil very quickly, if there's a rapid switch over to electric cars, if people are willing to use more bikes and public transit, huge investments in green energy, all the things that need to happen to fight climate change, hypothetically you'd see a rapid decline in oil use and thus oil production. And vice president gizio says, look, if Guyana only drills for ten years, that would be great news. Even though it's less money for Guyana, that would be great because it would mean the world has actually managed to stop climate change. But does the vice president of Guyana think that's going to happen that they'll only drill for ten years? Yeah, he absolutely expects the Guyana is going to be drilling oil for a long time because he thinks that the world is going to continue to use oil for decades. And in Guyana, it's also very cheap to make oil. And so Jack deal argues that once oil production does eventually peak and start to go down. You're more expensive producers are going to get shut down first. And Guyana might be the last one standing. And we'll continue to pump oil even if demand is a lot smaller. So they can make some money as the global they can make a lot of money actually. As the world transitions away, which will take time. Right. And so that's why he talks about a window of opportunity. On the other hand, you have environmental activists who think that all of these oil resources that are getting built up in Guyana are going to be stranded assets in a few years when the world actually does rapidly reduce its oil use. And the question of who's right, I mean, I think that that's going to be the question of our lifetimes, Emily. You said it. This is the question of our lifetimes underline exclamation point it when I think about not to call you out. Your trip call me out. You took fossil fuels to get to Guyana, didn't you? Oh yeah, I took two planes to get down there to planes to get back. I drove around in an SUV. It's the fabric of our world, right? To these farmers about how they're likelihoods are being destroyed by the catastrophic climate change that is being fueled by our dependency on fossil fuels. Well, Camila, thanks for drawing some lines around these really complicated tensions. By looking at one country that's dealing with them, like very, very intimately.

"Exxon, the giant oil company apparently made Guyana and offered they can't refuse. A few years ago, the company struck oil off Guyana's coast. It's now increasing production at the very moment that much of the world is talking of a transition away from fossil fuels. The South American country is taking part even though it is threatened by rising sea levels. And Pierre's camilo domino ski reports. Most of Guyana's population lives beneath sea level on coastal lands drained by Dutch colonizers. They're protected by a thick sea wall that stretches for hundreds of miles. This sea wall just a few feet high in places is a hangout spot. It offers a fresh breeze after another 90° day and the crowded capital city of Georgetown. Kids play, couples flirt, Friends, chat over beers. They're looking out over a murky brown ocean filled with sediment carried from deep in the Amazon. For guyanese singer Jackie jacks, this muddy water means home and inspired a song. Could I sing a little bit of the song? I want to hold you close. But for climate experts see on hamer, this view inspires bleaker thoughts. Some people would consider it scary. Sea levels are rising even faster in Guyana than the global average. Already, some high tides spill over this old sea wall. And hamer has seen the worst case climate models. I do stand up and imagine that by the year 2100, all of this could possibly be gone. From the seawall, it's easy to see how climate change is affecting Guyana. But you have to look past the horizon to understand how Guyana is affecting climate change. Far inland, Guyana is covered in lush, well preserved rainforests. Because of those forests, it's actually one of very few countries that absorbs more greenhouse gases than it releases. But out at sea, the drill ships are at work. Guyana recently discovered it has a lot of oil. And it's not planning to leave it in the ground. We have a small window to get as much as possible out. Bart jag dio is Guyana's vice president, and he's representing the country at the cop 26 climate talks in Glasgow. Jack dio is the opposite of a climate denier. He's won awards for his climate advocacy. But after years of asking the world to cut emissions rapidly, he's not optimistic. It's not happening. And we don't see that happening anytime soon. By now, everyone acknowledges that the whole world's reliance on oil is driving devastating climate change. But oil demand keeps going up. So if the world isn't giving up oil, Jack deal asks, why should Guyana give up its payday? He points out that other richer countries will keep drilling. But those same countries will never give us a sense. In the 2015 Paris agreement, rich countries promised a $100 billion a year to help developing countries fight climate change. That promise has not been kept. Guyana would have developed this oil either way, but given that broken promise, Jack dio is frustrated that existing producers keep pumping while groups like the international energy agency called for no new oil development. There's nothing fear in this. So Jack deal hopes to ring out billions of dollars from the oil industry, while the industry still lasts, and use it to help Guyana develop. There are a few problems with this plan. For developing countries, oil cash typically makes an economy worse. It's called the resource curse. It can drive corruption and lead to damaging boom and bust cycles. On the other hand, Guyana might not make big money at all. The country's deal with Exxon is unusually favorable for Exxon. Vincent Adams, the former head of Guyana's EPA criticizes the contract terms, he says his country just doesn't have the expertise to make sure it gets its fair share. All kinds of gears and Shannon guns could be played and we have no way of monitoring and verifying. Adams isn't the only one frustrated. Many ordinary guyanese question if they'll ever benefit from the money. Others want the drilling to stop in the name of climate change. But even some people you might expect to oppose the deal, find themselves in a sort of murky middle, like environmental activist, a net Arjun Martins. She's a conservationist and a pilot with a bird's eye view of how climate change is affecting Guyana. One indigenous community she worked with has already moved to higher ground. So if you were to fly over the area where the thrive in community once was, that is now half a kilometer in the sea. She has lots to criticize about the oil deal. But as for stopping production entirely, you know, look, if the first work countries would pay us to keep the oil in the ground and compensate us from what we would lose if we didn't extract it, well, that would be the ultimate fix for me as a guy in, but as long as that's not an option, she says, Guyana needs the money. This ambivalence about oil production is widespread in Guyana. It's a mix of need, hope and skepticism. But one thing is clear. Climate change is already hitting Diana, and it's not just the ocean rising. Weather patterns are shifting too. On his small household farm just east of Georgetown, liquor and ragunath points to wear a papaya tree used to be. Then we arrive at a shriveled Brown sapling. These flood drowned trees will take years to regrow. What was that? Fear. And it's just totally dead. Yeah, it can not come back. This spring, relentless rains caused the creeks to rise. Many houses and farms were already raised to cope with floods, but it wasn't enough. Under feet of water, this area looked like a Lake, one filled with rotting livestock and flooded homes. And the waters stayed for three months. No one had ever seen anything like it. I don't really know about climate change, yeah, but you can. You know, just see what is going on. Ragnarok looks down at the deeply cracked soil beneath his feet, like many farmers here he worries about the floods coming back. He plans to hire an excavator to raise his fields higher again. Raised fields, taller dams, higher sea walls. Guyana faces steep costs because of climate change, it did nothing to help cause. And now it's joining the world's oil producers..

That's out there on another gulf dot com. Where we're trying to raise funds were planning to deploy a couple of just recovery vehicles in the coming days to try to bring supplies in and try to support folks who are not going to be able to come home in whatever ways that we can whether that means helping them to find housing food. i mean.

Well this'll be completely if you're looking to venture into The markets and that is the the nice is they are out there. They've very powerful their voices because they love to Bring you back. They lie back. I mean what we call it in. Australia's told poppy syndrome. People don't like to see people moving outside of this social group and moving onto bigger and better things is must just be that we wide to fill good around the people that we're with. That are the siamese us for some bizarre reason the point they're trying to make his. You have people that are going to call you crazy right. I know i did when i left. Noosa heads which is where i was from. I went and distant travel new zealand for wall. Did a few bits and pieces like that but still hadn't really worked at exactly what it was. I wanted to do trading. It always bain day except for authorized to be stockbroker bunch of different things and then i went to london and i don striding to try to pretty much as soon as i got that. You're not long sort of settling in his filing needle trading and trying man. I had the opportunity to take over the family business. That's builder no certainly would would've make pretty sweet law business on lovely part of the world and it was all already sort of set off to walk into the hard work of building. The business had already been done to to a certain degree. Where could just walk in. And you know well. He went but i went to my path. I decided to trade index get involved in the markets mainly because i saw how much stress and how hot it was to manage the logic finding now that i do have a growing team now. I did like the idea that i could just try from anywhere in the world and effectively. You sort of leave. The lot that i wanted to live now works really well in my early twenty also mid mid twenties probably when it started actually work actually be okay at it and then leading into about twenty nine twenty eight to have my daughter in sydney. He was a pretty simple pretty cruzi. Lost once i got the hang of the tried again but the whole point was it took a lot of work to get to that stage. And you can have these people saying house trading going like as if they're expecting you to file they want you to file they're expecting you to fall on your face not be success worth. You're going to have to deal with these people and the hottest point in which you're gonna have to deal with them when you're actually do start to have a bit of a poor run because you're going to have one we we all do i. It's just part of growing up as a traitor. Suppose that you will have these periods of time where you do great that you do question yourself and you might even want to give up key. Jeez i i was close to giving up plenty of times but you know it did drive me. It was the fact that you know for me. When i said i wasn't going to take over the family business after having said that i would when i was like sixteen or something was the thought my dad'll why don't care what you do. Just just do it. Well be the best status now claiming to be the best at trading but the message was just be really good. Do the best you possibly. Can you know to me. Froude do the right thing and they good at it now. That message in my head. Everytime i thought of giving out it was simply put in my head. That was look. You gotta adad you go to this self.

David Lammy On Why Climate justice can't happen without racial justice
"I've got to stop by admitting that in many. Me Giving a talk about how climate action can help black communities is surprising. I grew up whole black with a single mother in Psalm. One of the most deprived areas in London in the nineteen seventies and s climate change was the last thing on my mind. Representing Tottenham. Its member of parliament for the past twenty years my focus has been on trying to reduce the deprivation I grew up around in the past the climate crisis never featured at the forefront of my politics because it was never one of the most immediate. Constituents facing or at least it didn't feel like it. Rising sea levels feel unimportant when your bank balance is falling. Global, warming is not your concern when you can't pay the heating bills and you're not thinking about pollution when you're being stopped by the police and so perhaps this is why as the black lives matter movement roared across the world that's been so dimension saving black lives from the climate emergency. The too long those of us who cared about racial justice treated environmental justice is that was elitist and at the same time, the leaders who did focus on climate change we usually white and rarely bothered to enlist the support of black voices in their work. Even Progressive Allies sometimes took votes to granted and assume that all community didn't care or wouldn't understand the truth is the opposite is true. Black people breathe in the most toxic air relative to the General Population We are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases like asthma. And it is people of color who are more likely to suffer in the climate crisis. This is no coincidence. The cheapest housing tends to be next to the busiest roads and many of the lowest paid jobs are the most pollutant industries. People of color consistent deny the bottom of the housing educational and Employment Ladders. This story connects black communities across the world from London to lay goes to La black-americans are exposed to fifty six percent more pollution than they course white Americans breed seventeen percent less air pollution, the May produce. It gives a whole new meaning to the black lives matter slogan I breath we all right. We know the name of George Floyd who was murdered by the police, but we should also know the name of eloquently Deborah. Ella a nine year old mixed race girl from southeast London was killed by fatal asthma attack evidence suggested was caused partly by the unknow fool levels of air pollution near her home. And it's not only urban areas where black lives are disproportionately under threat from climate change. My parents had country of Guyana is one of the most vulnerable countries on earth to the effects of climate. Change. So far, gladys contributed relatively little to the climate emergency, but it's one of the country's facing the most serious threats from it. While the annual carbon dioxide emissions beheaded the United States is a staggering sixteen point. Five metric tons in Guyana is just two point six, it is a patton repeated. The Globe those countries that have contributed least the climate breakdown mainly in the global south will suffer the most from floods droughts and rising temperatures. This is a patent suffering with a long history. The exploitation of our planet's natural resources of always been tied the exploitation of people of Color. The logic of colonization was to extract valuable resources from our planet through force paying no attention to its secondary effects. The climate crisis is in a way colonialism's natural conclusion. The solution is to build a new coalition made up of older groups most affected by this emergency black people in American cities who are already protesting that they cannot breathe. People of Color in Ghana, watching sea levels rise to the point where many of their homes become uninhabitable young people in places like Tottenham London afraid of the world they will grow older and progressive allies from all nations of all races, religions, creeds, and ages on this side. All demanding recognition that climate justice is linked to racial justice, social justice and intergenerational justice to

So you're in lockdown which means you can't even go to restaurants and enjoy food no so everything is closed except for the essentials. They're quite strict about it. Because the cops.

Which is so unfortunate. Never happened once. My life and Apple France has no way of fixing it side to find like a third party person of exit and I went out for the first time yesterday and it was terrifying. Explain that what was terrifying about it. I I'm reporting a lot of stuff for US news source new sites right now and so. I'm really up to date with like everything.

He's just doing what he has to do going to work from his off from our couch every day on like he's just like it's out of my control whereas I'm like spires really on my own. How do you think travel is going to change? Eilly the thing. The weird thing is that I travel so much so in the past three or four years. I've graduated from photography school. I was travelling like nine months of the year. And it's weird. I have like a background in conservation. Biology some all about being ECO friendly. I was just like Kinda gross out by how much I was traveling. Bozo where the The travel world was heading towards it was just too much like all these people taking weekend trips like for me. Traveling is about really understanding place and it requires time and so I told all editors I would not be traveling as much this year and so for me. It feels just like the perfect storm like I now don't have to explain to everyone. I'm not traveling as much. I've ING moving forward. We won't be traveling as much. We'll be chopping in a more thoughtful way. Which is a good thing definitely. I'm worried about all the people I've written about who works who make their income off tourism. That's one of the scariest things for me. And I have lots of family. Also still in Korea and Korea's kind of ahead of everyone else with the pandemic I would say and even they who have mostly under control people aren't moving as much So I think we won't be traveling for like a good year until the viruses totally controlled which means we have a cure or vaccine.

He's remembered for his scholarship and activism concerning the working class and black people around the world. Rodney was born to Edward in Pauline Rodney in Georgetown British Guyana or Present Day Guyana British. Guyana was a colony that was part of the British West indies after World War. Two there were increasing demands for political independence in Guyana. The People's Progressive Party a left wing political party formed in the early nineteen fifties in the colony. Rodney's perspective developed in the midst of this rising anti colonial sentiment during that decade rotten distributed people's Progressive Party manifestos began attending Queens College.

The Thinking Behind the Book 'Home Coming'
"So homecoming is such an incredible book? And it's already having an incredible impact. I really enjoyed hearing all the different things and actually I listened to the audio book. I know that a lot of our listeners. Love audiobooks listening forecast. Say The audiobook. Because they're really interesting experience to hear the voices as well Tennyson it will a- and about your the thinking behind the book when when I can concept came into your head and what it was like an his first stages of planning a few years ago I wrote a memoir about growing gluten with my Jamaican parents called bad guy at the wheel. By guys. My father's nickname his Jamaican can. He had baggy is an all of his friends equally. Funny Nicknames that define them and they adhere to whether they liked the name or not so there was one man called old shine. Who was bowled? Like me anxious was very anxious. Tidy boosters very fussy but his footwear clock had one arm longer than the other. My favorite was manacled somewhere. And when somewhere came to this country from Jamaica in one thousand nine hundred system light summer suits tropical suits the matter. The weather weather come halo storm and when I thought about writing this book ask my mom. Whatever became of somewhere and she said well he caught a cold and died within a few months and I was shocked by that straightway which she spoke to sit in very matter of fact way had an edge to it but also it was quite a funny and I remember that when asked let's grapple loosened in the sixties all? The people were really really funny. There were like in my mind. CAST members of guys and dolls the Damon Runyon and they were all of my figures. We had no television until nineteen seventy two but they were television and what. I finished that Book Burger at the wheel about six seven years ago now I was wanted to continue it and away. The beginning of homecoming was a continuation of that story story but equally there were books. I read as a young man about Caribbean people in this country especially a book by Sam Cell Phone. Call the Lonely Londoners which is a book about a man called Moses who is kind of meet and greeter. So Kirby America's Dan to Waterloo station or Paddington and greets this carbon pioneers come off the boat train and equally. They have Wonderful characters wonderful names as a character. Awesome Galahad is rather light my car somewhere and when I finished up I wanted to myself. Well what would what would become of those people from the nineteen fifties and sixties if they were still alive today and what were their stories. What was the story of their great pioneer migration to prison? And although there have been books about that I don't think anyone's really interrogated the individual stories. And what you get with this book which is kind of oral history is a kind of an accumulation of similar stories and by that accumulation. You realize there was a bigger truth because sometimes when you hear stories you think that's just a one off when you hear again again again and you realize the experiences and I wanted to to have that kind of course onus in this kind of chorus line because right the way through But also the kind of gives you some of the shape and the contours of their lives from six to the present day and the people that you you chase to feed the book is e. Say An instruction that you you kind of chose intention eaten interview more women than men. 'cause you know those stories are represented. And and also more Chinese these people than Jamaican tell us parents Jamaican and three quarters of the migrants came from the Caribbean were Jamaican. But I right now. The Jamaicans take up too much room in the culture. The make too much noise have to credit opinion on themselves and they're over represented in our culture in terms of books books films music and sometimes they're kind of eclipsed some of the other islanders so I was very keen to address that so if that into more from Guyana kits and I was interested to find out why people ended up in certain parts of the country. So if you're from Saint Kitts you end up open leads. If you're from Saint Vincent in Hiwickum if it from Trinidad you end up in North Hampton and I think we want to these areas because they they were pay people were or their friends and associates broke. Equally is very keen to complicate the story because many of us will see those photographs photographs of the wind rush generation. The wind rush people coming off that ship. Ninety forty eight and the kind of I chronic now these men in Fidora's and zoot suits behind. You ever see any women in this girls but on that ship is often said from the beginning of that story. That now was that the five hundred Jamaican men. That's not true. There are other islands on that ship and the two hundred women on the ship including a woman called Mona. Baptiste's this wonderful jazz singer so I wanted to tell this story but also I wanted to use them to complicate the stories because the women were actually much more generous with their antidotes. Does that much more prepared to interrogate the interior lives and live longer but also in all honesty but I went to interview them. They're prepared to feed me saying that being you played this game I think three hours and the men wouldn't think to feed me and I'll be the on the floor gasping for water a little bit of bread but women would feed me straight away and actually what was interesting to me. I thought began to re revisit. Some of the stories. We're kind of finishing but some of the stores were not familiar. But I heard this story again and again from these elderly people who are now in the eighty s and ninety s had remind. I was on the antiques roadshow. And that what I was hearing were these jewels or this precious antiques. That not been added it for many many years. They've been stored away in cupboards in people's minds and never had a pap form and as an dustin down and reveal them to the reading public because to me they are wonderful rich funny cide. Moving polemical sometimes Philosophical stories that. Give a real sense of the panoply of of of of carbon life in this country. Because I think sometimes sometimes we have very reduced idea about the carribean presence in all honesty. If you look in terms of the archive in film and Television News Pretty Negative and right from the word go. It was pretty negative. People talk about the hostile environment. That Theresa May introduced in two thousand twelve but in my research it was not a new venture. She was very from the very beginning. And I. It's what I was interviewing a lot of these people who are in their eighties nineties to some of the archive of this month. Lockup in the British library the BBC See San Marcos in the BBC people around Archives let the deejay Don Letts had done lots of news twenty years ago. He's archive you've but also I would to my hometown is Brighton. Went to Sussex University where the Mass Observation Archive is held old and in nineteen thirty nine mass version which is so socialist research tool wanting to discover how people live. That was the whole idea of massive station Tau to working people live. What do they do with their money? How they use this time they still go to church too? They gamble. How do they make love but not at thirty? Nine maps vision decided to do a survey about black people. What did people in this country? Think about so-called Negroes in nineteen thirty nine and it wasn't very flattering it was pretty obnoxious really And I wanted to give a sense of what this carbon people who come into because in their minds I say this is true was everybody I spoke. They were a British. I'd even my mom for the book my Mom's from Jamaica and when she was growing up making the nineteen forties she knew how to fold the union flag flag. She could site keats. Shelley Wordsworth automatic pope's by Roach. She knew them all didn't need any book to repeat this poems and she told me that when she went to the cinema the reality cinema and Kingston in one thousand nine hundred dollars at the beginning of the screening of a film people. Stand up to sing the British national anthem and at the end of the screening people. Stand up to sting the British national anthem and I interviewed amount from Guyana. Who told me that when he came to this country went to the cinema and at the end of the film he stood up and such and he was amazing Nubia standing? He was really perplexed by that. So the sense of why they felt Brigitta. So what idea of Britain coming to see if they'd had it had access to these archives from from muscles version. They might have been a bit perturbed but what was interesting also. Is that the British. Sometimes they produce these booklets which they sent out to the Caribbean to give people an idea about what to expect. So there's one booklet produced by the BBC called going to Britain question. Mark as a small pamphlet is western some idea about Codes behavior so if I was to say to nineteen forties forties as an English person and you How do you do? What did you think MSA

"And ahead of International Women's Day. Bloomberg's Ed Murray Hordern spoke to aside global head of corporate engagement and president of the Goldman Sachs foundation about what the Bank is doing to help female entrepreneurs. It's really exciting. What's what's happening on International Women's Day in particular? It's a really a celebration. It's a celebration of a number of the most powerful and interesting small business owners in in the UK. It's interesting because I call them our growth heroes because these are really women who have started their business and really through our educational programs taken it to the next level.
