We took it to the streets to hear what Jamaicans think about paternity fraud, “JACKET”, and its impact on men, children and families.
We heard raw stories and strong opinions.
Should the Government mandate DNA testing at birth, or is that going too far? Share your thoughts.
At the direction of the U.S., the Honduran government under president Nasry Asfura has expelled its Cuban doctors from the country. The doctors were stationed at a free ophthalmological clinic in Colinas, Santa Bárbara and were part of the Operation Miracle program, which provided services to poor and vulnerable populations.
Medical brigades have become one Cuba's most critical sources of income in the face of the U.S. blockade.
Thomas Gould, the Irish politician who recently captured global attention because of his distinctive accent, says he has been overwhelmed by the volume of messages received from social media users worldwide, particularly from Jamaica.
Gould, a member of Sinn Féin, went viral after a speech he delivered in the Irish parliament in early January began circulating across social media platforms.

We must speak plainly about what is happening in Cuba.
Cuba is our Caribbean neighbour. Their doctors and teachers have supported countries across our region, including Jamaica. Our histories are connected, and we care deeply about the Cuban people.
Today, many Cubans are facing serious economic hardship, energy shortages, and growing humanitarian challenges. We are sensitive to their struggles. But we must also recognise that a prolonged crisis in Cuba will not remain there. It can impact migration, security, and economic stability across the Caribbean, including Jamaica.
Jamaica stands for democracy, human rights, accountability, and open, market-based economies. I believe lasting stability comes when people have opportunity, a voice in their governance, and the freedom to build and invest.
This moment calls for responsible leadership and constructive dialogue, particularly between Cuba and the United States, to ease tensions and promote reform and stability.
Jamaica will continue to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people while supporting practical steps that lead to stability and shared prosperity for our region.
There is basically no risk to trying anymore.

We know many people want to help our hummingbirds after Hurricane Melissa.
If you’re putting out feeders, please don’t use brown sugar, raw sugar or coloured syrups as they can harm the birds.
Use 1 part granulated white sugar to 4 parts water.
In our tropical climate the mixture spoils quickly. If it becomes cloudy or milky after 2–3 days, wash the feeder and add fresh solution.
