Public desire to know more about last year’s cyber attack is once more being prolonged.

We’ll have to wait until a Joint Select Committee is formed, and eventually delivers its report.

That report will come several months after the original investigative report delivered to Government last year – a report we are currently not allowed to see in any form.

Gary Foster Skelton reports.

This was revealed in the Senate on Wednesday, where the Cyber Security Act 2024 was passed – nearly 9 months after the attack, and 7 months after the report.

Gary Foster Skelton takes us back over the timeline since the attack.

Over 10 thousand athletes from 206 countries will be competing in 32 sports at the 2024 Summer Olympics Games in Paris. And so far team Bermuda has secured spots in sailing, rowing, swimming and triathlon … and could still qualify for track and field and archery before the deadline in 3 weeks time. 

But for those of you who take part in sports that are not considered Olympic sports at this time, keep at it, because that could all change 4 years from now. 

Julie Matthews-Borchardt tells us more.

In football news, Team Bermuda suffered a crushing defeat on Sunday night at the hands of the visiting team from Honduras in their 2nd and final FIFA World Cup qualifier for 2024.

Criticism of this Government’s environmental record is not in line with reality, according to the Deputy Premier.

Walter Roban, also Home Affairs Minister, responded today to an article by Kim Smith, Executive Director of the Bermuda Environmental & Sustainability Taskforce.

Ms Smith levelled particular criticism at Ministerial discretion to veto the opinion of the Development Application Board with regard to planning permission. The Fairmont Southampton SDO was cited as an example. 

Minister Roban addressed this at length in an interview with Gary Foster Skelton.
