Health officials encourage residents to get tested and learn the facts during HIV Awareness Month
The Ministry of Health today announced the start of HIV Awareness Month, a month‑long national campaign encouraging the people of Bermuda to take charge of their health by getting tested, learning the facts, and helping build a stigma‑free community.
The campaign launched with a press conference outside the Sexual & Reproductive Health (SRH) Clinic, reinforcing the message that confidential testing and prevention services are available right here in our community.
Throughout June, the SRH Clinic will offer free, confidential HIV testing. Testing is quick, simple, and an essential part of routine healthcare.
Minister of Health Kim Wilson said: “I want to encourage everyone in our community to take charge of their health. HIV testing is quick, confidential, and could save your life. Too often, people assume that if they feel well, there’s no need to get tested, but feeling fine doesn’t mean you’re HIV‑free, because HIV may not show symptoms for years. That’s why everyone should know their HIV status as part of routine healthcare.
“This month, the Sexual & Reproductive Health Clinic is offering free testing, prevention guidance, and confidential support. Knowing your status protects you and the people you care about, and it helps us build a stigma‑free Bermuda where everyone feels safe seeking care.”
As part of the Ministry’s commitment to sexual health, free mpox vaccinations will also be available throughout June at the SRH Clinic. The mpox vaccine is safe, effective, and helps prevent severe illness, with confidential appointments and designated walk‑in days. Individuals at higher risk of exposure, including those with multiple sexual partners, are encouraged to get vaccinated this month.
For more information about HIV testing, prevention options, or mpox vaccination, contact the Sexual & Reproductive Health Clinic or visit www.gov.bm/HIV.

On Tuesday, the BoE said that 65,945 mortgages were approved in April, up from 63,979 in March, the highest point since January 2025
International News via Reuters:
British lenders approved the most mortgages in 15 months in April while consumer credit grew faster than expected, according to Bank of England data, which showed some resilience in the economy despite higher borrowing costs caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
On Tuesday, the BoE said that 65,945 mortgages were approved in April, up from 63,979 in March, the highest point since January 2025. Economists polled by Reuters had expected 62,000 approvals during the month.
Net unsecured lending to consumers rose by £1.859 billion ($2.50 billion), above economists’ forecast of a £1.7 billion increase though just below March’s £1.904 billion rise.
Paul Dales, chief U.K. economist at Capital Economics, said it was likely that households had “pulled forward” their planned house purchases before mortgage rates rose more.
“If so, mortgage approvals would soon fall back,” he said. “That would certainly fit more comfortably with other indicators that show housing market sentiment has soured since the war triggered a jump in mortgage rates.”
Britain’s housing market has slowed since the war in Iran started in late February, according to other data.
Weaker consumer sentiment and rising mortgage rates since the resurgence of conflict in the Middle East caused lenders like Nationwide Building Society to report the first monthly fall in house prices since December in May.
Figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors also showed drops in prices and buyer demand in April.
Net monthly mortgage lending – which reflects completed house purchases and lags behind approvals – fell to a net £4.368 billion ($5.88 billion), the lowest since October 2025 and down from an increase of £6.833 billion in March.

CCLEC conference focuses on tackling smuggling, trafficking and other cross-border threats through greater cooperation
Bermuda’s role in regional border security took centre stage last week as senior Customs and law enforcement leaders from across the Caribbean gathered at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club for the 48th Annual Conference of the Caribbean Customs Law Enforcement Council (CCLEC).
Held from 26 to 29 May 2026, the conference brought together regional officials to discuss the frontline role of Customs in protecting communities from smuggling, firearms, narcotics, human trafficking, financial crimes and other transnational threats.
The conference was held under the theme, “Protecting Society: Caribbean Customs in Action Through Vigilance and Commitment,” and marked the return of the major regional Customs gathering to Bermuda for the first time in more than two decades.
The opening ceremony was held on Wednesday, 27 May, and included remarks from His Excellency the Governor, Mr Andrew Murdoch, Premier the Hon David Burt, JP, MP, the Minister of National Security, the Hon Michael Weeks, JP, MP, CCLEC Executive Committee Chairman Mr Roderick Croes, of Aruba, Mr. Claude Paul, Permanent Secretary of CCLEC, and Collector of Customs Mrs Lucinda Pearman.
The Premier, who delivered the keynote address on behalf of the Government of Bermuda, said the work of Customs and border enforcement remains central to public safety, economic confidence and regional security.
Premier Burt said: “Customs is central to national security. It is central to economic stability and confidence. It is central to the protection of our people.
“A port must move goods, but it must also protect communities. Customs must support trade and economic growth, but it must also stand against those who try to use legitimate commerce as cover for crime.”
The Premier also recognised the frontline role of Customs officers and law enforcement partners across the region.
He said, “Very often, before the crime, before the weapon reaches the street, before the narcotics reach a community, before the proceeds of crime are moved, hidden or disguised, there is Customs.”
Minister Weeks said Bermuda was proud to host the conference and to support CCLEC’s continued work in regional Customs cooperation.
He noted: “Mr Claude Paul, Permanent Secretary of CCLEC, thank you for your leadership through the Caribbean Customs Law Enforcement Council, and for the important work CCLEC continues to advance across our region.
“Bermuda has a distinct role in this region. We sit in the Atlantic, but we are closely connected to the Caribbean through our shared security interests, our maritime links, our trade routes and our partnerships.”
Minister Weeks said the conference theme was especially relevant as Customs administrations face increasingly complex threats.
He added, “Modern threats do not respect borders. Illicit trafficking, transnational organised crime, firearms and narcotics smuggling, financial crimes, cyber-enabled criminal activity and human trafficking all require Customs administrations to remain alert, coordinated and ready to respond.”
Mrs Pearman said hosting the conference was an important opportunity for Bermuda Customs to support regional cooperation and highlight the operational realities facing Customs administrations.
Collector Pearman said of the event: “The Customs Department was honoured to host this important regional conference and to welcome colleagues from across the Caribbean to Bermuda.
“Customs work is practical, operational and constant. Every day, officers are making decisions that protect our borders, support legitimate trade and help prevent dangerous goods from reaching our communities.
“That work is not always visible to the public, but it is essential to the safety, stability and well-being of society. Customs officers stand on the frontline against threats that can affect families, businesses and communities long before those threats are seen more widely.
“This conference allowed us to share experiences, discuss common challenges and build the relationships that make that work more effective.
“It also reminded us that Customs officers across the region carry a shared responsibility. Whether in Bermuda or elsewhere in the Caribbean, their vigilance, professionalism and judgement play a direct role in safeguarding our people and protecting the integrity of our borders.”
Mrs Pearman added: “Smuggling, trafficking, firearms, narcotics and other forms of organised criminal activity require close cooperation between jurisdictions.
“No Customs administration can meet these challenges alone. The protection of society depends on officers, agencies and countries working together, sharing information and acting with a common purpose.”
The conference focused on Customs standards, intelligence sharing, professional development, modern border management, technology, risk-based enforcement, trade facilitation and regional cooperation against smuggling, trafficking and other transnational threats.

The agency said on Tuesday there had been 48 deaths and six people have recovered in Congo
International News via Reuters:
The World Health Organization said there have been 321 confirmed cases of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo outbreak and 116 suspected cases, marking a large drop in the number of suspected cases as hundreds were ruled out after investigation.
The agency said on Tuesday there had been 48 deaths and six people have recovered in Congo. The Congolese authorities first put out the new case numbers on Monday.
In Uganda there have been nine confirmed cases and one associated death, WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier told reporters in Geneva.
The WHO said on Friday that there were 906 suspected cases of the Bundibugyo Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including 223 suspected deaths that were being investigated. Later Jean Kaseya, director-general of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an FT op-ed published on Sunday that more than 1,100 suspected cases were being investigated.
When asked why the latest figures showed a significantly lower number of suspected cases, Lindmeier said the data suggested hundreds of cases had been discounted.
“They have been cleared out and have either other diseases or have just had fever and nothing else,” Lindmeier said, adding that the numbers would fluctuate over time as people get tested.
A suspected case includes anyone who is picked up by surveillance or who presents with symptoms at a health centre, he added. Confirmed cases include only those who have tested positive for Ebola Bundibugyo.
Testing has been a challenge in this outbreak as initially the more common tests used for Ebola did not detect the Bundibugyo strain, for which there is no approved vaccine, and capacity has been limited.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website also listed 116 suspected cases, and added: “On May 29, the DRC Ministry of Health updated their total suspect case count to remove suspected cases that have been ruled out after investigation and suspected deaths that are pending the results of ongoing investigation.”
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention announced the outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, Congo’s 17th Ebola outbreak, on May 15, and the World Health Organization swiftly declared it a public health emergency of international concern.

El Nino is a periodic warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, which typically lasts between nine and 12 months, according to the World Meteorological Organization
International News via Reuters:
The United Nations weather agency forecast on Tuesday a moderate or possibly a strong El Nino that could drive up global temperatures and increase the risk of extreme weather over the coming months.
El Nino is a periodic warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, which typically lasts between nine and 12 months, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
The WMO said warm ocean waters were driving El Nino’s development and predicted above-average temperatures in most parts of the world from June to August. The WMO said it is likely El Nino will continue until November.
It also said it remained uncertain how strong El Nino will be as models differ on its severity, but officials warned of the need to be ready.
“We need to prepare for a potentially strong El Nino event – which will exacerbate drought and heavy rainfall and increase the risk of heatwaves both on land and in the ocean,” said WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo.
MORE DROUGHTS, HURRICANES AND HEAT?
The weather pattern is known to disrupt regional climates, potentially bringing warmer temperatures across the globe, while increasing rainfall to the southern parts of South America and the United States, parts of the Horn of Africa and central Asia.
El Nino can also cause drought in Australia, Central America, Indonesia, and parts of south Asia, and spur hurricane formation in the central and eastern Pacific, the WMO said.
The last El Nino, which meteorologists said was strong, in 2023 to 2024 contributed to making 2024 the hottest year on record, Saulo said.
Saulo said other risks associated with extreme heat included a wider spread of diseases borne by vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks and reduced food and water supplies.
“Communities that were already struggling will be pushed farther beyond their limits,” she said.
For consumers, facing inflation because of the Iran war, food prices may rise further because of El Nino.
Hein Schumacher, CEO of Barry Callebaut, one of the world’s biggest cocoa processors, warned crops in the growing regions of Ecuador and West Africa that account for 60% of global output could be reduced.
“This is something that we are very cautiously observing,” he told media on a call on Tuesday. “El Nino could have an effect that could lead to, you know, a few thousands per ton.”
London cocoa futures are trading at £2,944 ($3,964.10) per metric ton, down from more than 9,000 in April 2024.
Some national weather agencies have forecast the strongest El Nino in a decade.
The WMO is more circumspect but said it had observed unusually warm subsurface conditions across the tropical Pacific with temperatures exceeding 6 degrees Celsius (10.8 degrees Fahrenheit) above average, creating a reservoir of heat that is driving surface warming.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said it was a reminder of the need for a shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy.
“The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is. El Nino conditions will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world,” he said.

The comments suggest the watchdog may reduce its estimate of the government’s fiscal buffer by more than some analysts have predicted
International News via Reuters:
Britain’s budget watchdog said on Tuesday it will factor in the unexpectedly strong persistence of inflation after the 2022 energy price shock when it updates its forecasts later this year in the wake of the Iran war.
The comments suggest the watchdog may reduce its estimate of the government’s fiscal buffer by more than some analysts have predicted.
The Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecasts determine how much leeway British governments have for public spending and get close attention from financial markets and politicians, as well as setting out forecasts for growth and inflation.
The last set, released on March 3, showed finance minister Rachel Reeves had a modest £24 billion ($32 billion) of ‘headroom’ to meet her goal of a balanced budget, excluding investment spending, by 2029-30.
But the figures did not take into account the impact of the Iran war which started on February 28 and which has led the Bank of England to forecast higher inflation and weaker growth.
In an annual assessment of its past forecasts, the OBR said it would take lessons from the 2022 energy shock after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine into account when it prepares fresh forecasts for Reeves’ annual budget later this year.
“We have adjusted our analytical and modelling toolkit, including our assumption for the second-round pass-through of energy prices to inflation and some of our short-term inflation modelling,” it said.
The last energy shock led to higher inflation, more public spending and greater government borrowing and debt than the OBR forecast both at the time and in the years after.
Reeves has said that – unlike under the Conservative government in 2022 – she does not plan to offer costly universal energy subsidies.
The BoE has also said there are some reasons to expect inflation to be less persistent than in 2022 as the economy has more slack and natural gas prices have risen less.

The public faceoff comes as Republicans are pushing for $72 billion in additional funding for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort over the next three years
International News via Reuters:
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is set to testify before a Senate panel on Tuesday after tensions flared over conditions in a New Jersey immigration detention center and Mullin threatened to shut down international travel into a major airport with the World Cup less than two weeks away.
The public faceoff comes as Republicans are pushing for $72 billion in additional funding for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort over the next three years, a sum that comes on top of a historic $170 billion devoted to the crackdown in a spending package passed last year.
Mullin, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, became secretary in March and pledged to continue Trump’s immigration crackdown with a more low-key approach. The hearing on Tuesday will be his first time appearing before a Senate panel since he was confirmed.
Mullin’s predecessor, Kristi Noem, prominently surged federal agents into U.S. cities and drew scrutiny for federal contracts awarded to Republican operatives. Trump fired Noem as public approval for his immigration policies fell after federal agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.
While Mullin moved away from public immigration sweeps, the Trump administration continued to arrest far more immigration offenders than historic norms as of early March.
Some 56,000 people were detained in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities as of last week, two people familiar with the figures said. While that number was down from 68,000 in mid-February, it was still above the 40,000 in custody when Trump took office in January 2025.
U.S. Senate Republicans postponed plans to vote on the additional immigration enforcement funds in May due to opposition to the inclusion of a $1.8 billion fund for victims of government “weaponization.” Reuters reported on Monday that Trump had put plans for the weaponization fund on hold.
TENSE SCENES AT NEW JERSEY DETENTION CENTER
Protesters have amassed in recent weeks outside the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, where immigrant detainees raised concerns about conditions.
Mullin said on Thursday that he would shut down international travel and cargo into the Newark airport unless local law enforcement secured the area around Delaney Hall. Over the weekend, New Jersey State Police closed off an area where protesters had been gathering.
Mullin said on Monday that he did not presently need to halt international flight processing at Newark, citing cooperation from state and local law enforcement near the detention center.
The threat to cut off international transit into the Newark airport follows earlier comments by Mullin to try to pressure so-called “sanctuary” cities into fuller cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Major airline, travel and business groups have warned that barring border processing at Newark or other major U.S. airports could lead to chaos, strand thousands of tourists and Americans trying to get home, and prevent crucial cargo shipments.
The World Cup, which begins on June 11, could potentially draw millions of foreign visitors to the U.S., further raising the stakes for Mullin’s airport threat. Eight matches, including the final, will be played at MetLife Stadium, a short drive from the Newark airport.

The tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States is expected to be Ronaldo’s record-breaking sixth World Cup, an astonishing feat for a 41-year-old who has spent two decades turning the improbable into routine
International News via Reuters:
Portugal will roll into the World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo still grabbing the spotlight, a midfield glittering like a jeweller’s window and a familiar question lurking behind all the sparkle: Is this finally the year they stop underachieving?
The tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States is expected to be Ronaldo’s record-breaking sixth World Cup, an astonishing feat for a 41-year-old who has spent two decades turning the improbable into routine.
Yet for all the attention Ronaldo is afforded, Portugal’s engine room may be the real headline act.
Paris St Germain duo Vitinha and Joao Neves set the rhythm behind Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes, giving manager Roberto Martinez a midfield that can make a convincing claim to be the best in the world.
There is quality almost everywhere else too, but Portuguese talent is hardly a novelty. Benfica, Sporting, Porto and Braga have long supplied Europe’s biggest clubs with polished players.
The trouble is Portugal have too often taken fine squads to major tournaments and returned with a suitcase full of regrets.
They won their only Euros title in 2016 and reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2006 but their last four campaigns on the world stage brought frustration: two last-16 exits, one quarter-final loss and a grim group-stage departure in 2014.
Qatar in 2022 was another bruising chapter.
Portugal were eliminated by Morocco in the quarter-finals, Ronaldo scored only once and was dropped by then-coach Fernando Santos for the knockout win over Switzerland after a 2-1 loss to South Korea in the final group game.
Santos departed and Martinez arrived in January 2023, bringing the experience of leading Belgium’s gilded generation to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
The change has refreshed Portugal. They reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 and beat European champions Spain in last year’s Nations League final, sharpening belief before their trip across the Atlantic.
Martinez’s record has been close to spotless. In 36 matches, he has posted the highest win percentage of any Portugal manager at 69.4%, a figure that rises to 70.9% in competitive games.
His side have also been prolific, averaging 2.66 goals per match, while his tenure has included Portugal’s longest winning streak of 11 matches.
Martinez has also squeezed fresh life from Ronaldo, who has scored 25 goals in 30 appearances under him, a better goals-per-game return than for any of his previous national team coaches.
Portugal begin their Group K campaign against Democratic Republic of Congo before facing Uzbekistan and Colombia.
On paper, they have the form, firepower and midfield to go deep in the tournament. The hard part is proving this golden cast can finally turn promise into the biggest prize of all.

Reducing carbon emissions would be consistent with international efforts to curb rising global temperatures and the Labour government says cleaner energy can help to insulate the country from fossil fuel price volatility
International News via Reuters:
Britain on Tuesday set a target to cut emissions by around 87% by 2040 from 1990 levels as it increases efforts to meet net zero goals that it says will help to curb energy costs and create jobs, but it has yet to outline how the goal will be met.
Reducing carbon emissions would be consistent with international efforts to curb rising global temperatures and the Labour government says cleaner energy can help to insulate the country from fossil fuel price volatility, which has been exacerbated by the Iran war.
“As Britain faces the second fossil fuel shock of the decade, the only way to protect family and business finances is to drive for clean homegrown power that we control,” energy minister Ed Miliband said in a statement.
This year’s surge in energy prices as a result of unprecedented supply disruption in the Middle East follows a previous fossil fuel price spike around the time Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Millions of households are expected to face a 13% increase in energy bills from July after regulator Ofgem hiked its price cap due to a leap in wholesale gas prices.
TECHNOLOGY SHIFT AND LESS MEAT
Fossil fuel price rises have stoked divisions in Britain and elsewhere between those calling for more oil and gas drilling and others seeking much more use of renewable energy.
Meeting the government’s emissions goal would likely require major investment in low carbon technology, including renewable power, heat pumps and electric vehicles and significant lifestyle changes such as reduced meat consumption, the Climate Change Committee said last year, when recommending the target.
Aviation emissions also need to fall, which would require less flying unless the development of sustainable fuel can be accelerated.
Last year the opposition Conservative Party withdrew its support for the 2050 net zero target, calling it impossible.
So far Britain’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 54% from 1990 levels, including a 2% year-on-year fall in 2025. That was largely due to a drop in industrial sector emissions after blast furnace closures in the iron and steel sectors.
The government said its support of clean power will help to create jobs. It cited a report by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, backed by analysis from the Confederation of British Industries Economics, also published on Tuesday showing the net zero economy supports more than 1 million jobs in the country.
A plan for delivering the emissions reduction would be published as soon as possible once parliament had approved the target, the government said.
