From @TheAthleticFC: Kylian Mbappé scored two goals in France's 3-1 defeat of Senegal. He is now France's all-time top goalscorer.

Mbappé needs just three more goals in this tournament to become the top goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history. https://t.co/gcLAfJIfVj

The Caribbean doesn't just face natural disasters. It faces the jobs crisis that follows. Every storm sets back years of employment gains. Read how the World Bank Group is helping Caribbean workers and communities build back stronger. https://t.co/IqHsqRXwkq

When hurricanes strike the Caribbean, the impact goes beyond damaged infrastructure to lost jobs and livelihoods.

The @WorldBankGroup has provided more than $235 million to help countries respond faster, rebuild stronger, and protect jobs and opportunity. Because resilience is ultimately about protecting people, incomes, and futures. https://t.co/SnnhSVx8Pl

I have just arrived in Port-au-Prince on a solidarity visit with the people of Haiti.

The humanitarian situation here is desperate, but there are faint glimmers of hope.

My message to the international community:

Stop looking away.

We must stand with Haiti.

🔘 DEVELOPING: Scotiabank to take full ownership of Scotia Jamaica

Scotia Group Jamaica Limited is to be bought out by its Canadian-based parent company through majority shareholder, Scotiabank Caribbean Holding Limited. This means that the bank will no longer be publicly listed, but will instead become a private entity.

▫️The sale, approved by the bank's directors, will be at a cost of J$61.50 per share or about J$56.7 billion.

▫️Scotiabank Jamaica says the sale of the shares will not materially affect its Jamaican operations. In fact, president and CEO Audrey Tugwell-Henry says the transaction is intended to help the entity to better focus on long-term value creation and core business growth.

▫️The purchase price of $61.50 per share works out to a 13-per cent premium of its 30-day average trading price on the Jamaica Stock Exchange.

▫️Scotiabank's minority shareholders are to vote on the proposed shares sale before there can be court approval. The process is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2026.

🌎 Delivering Results for the Caribbean

From Nassau 🇧🇸 to the wider Region, leaders, partners, and stakeholders left @Caribank's 56th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors with a renewed commitment: accelerate action, strengthen partnerships, and translate words into tangible impact for Caribbean people.

As CDB President @DanielBestCDB put it: “The true measure of this Annual Meeting will not be what we said in Nassau. It will be what is done after Nassau.”

🔹 Stronger regional coordination
🔹 Faster delivery of programmes
🔹 Deeper collaboration across governments, partners, and the private sector
🔹 Real pathways for youth and future generations

As we navigate global uncertainty, the call is clear: this is the decade of decision and action. Together, we will forge possibility and transform our Caribbean.⚡

When you look at the exceptionally creative work of Masters, you must not ignore the years of practice, the endless routines, the hours of doubt, and the tenacious overcoming of obstacles these people endured. Creative energy is the fruit of such efforts and nothing else.
