The utility restored over 6,000 customers throughout the weekend with around 291 still remaining off supply
Bermuda Electric Light Company (BELCO) Managing Director Shelly Leman today provided an update on outages as a result of a winter gale impacting the island.
BELCO crews worked all weekend to restore outages as a result of the severe weather and stood down at midnight last night.
As of 4:00pm, there are approximately 291 customers who remain without power.
Ms. Leman said: “Restoration efforts progressed steadily yesterday into the night through often hazardous conditions. The teams were able to restore over 6000 customers throughout the weekend with around 291 still remaining off supply. Our crews tended to several reports of sparking lines as well as several pole fires which caused resources to be diverted to these emergencies. Pole fires often occur when salt deposits on our overhead infrastructure, such as insulators and cross arms, allowing tracking to occur which can result in arcing or flashovers.”
BELCO crews began work early this morning to restore the remaining customers. Ms. Leman said: “We have a systematic plan in place today with efforts focused on restoring the remaining customers without power, with the largest pockets in St. George’s, Hamilton parish, Pembroke and Sandys. The 955 line remains open for reporting emergencies such as pole fires downed or sparking lines or partial current.”
BELCO will be providing regular updates throughout the weekend on the Company’s social media channels including Facebook (@BELCOBermuda), Instagram (@belcobermuda), and X (@BELCOBermuda).
Ms. Leman said: “I’d like to thank our teams once again for braving the elements to restore service to the island and to our customers for their continued patience.”
Under pressure over the appointment of a man whose close ties to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have come into full focus, Starmer has attempted to change the narrative
International News via Reuters:
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer refused on Monday to heed calls to quit, even by the leader of his party in Scotland, after a second aide resigned from a team in crisis over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington.
Under pressure over the appointment of a man whose close ties to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have come into full focus, Starmer has attempted to change the narrative.
But a demand from Anas Sarwar, leader of the Scottish Labour Party, for him to quit and the departure of a second senior aide in as many days did little to stop the questions over his judgment and ability to govern.
The resignation of communications chief Tim Allan followed the exit of Starmer’s closest aide, Morgan McSweeney, who said he took responsibility for advising on the appointment of Mandelson to Britain’s top diplomatic role in the United States.
Earlier on Monday, the British leader sought to raise spirits and encourage unity when he addressed staff at his Downing Street office, and he later received messages of support from his top ministers and some potential leadership rivals.
“We must prove that politics can be a force for good,” he told them, praising McSweeney as “a friend” who helped change the Labour Party and win the 2024 national election with one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern British history.
“I believe it can. I believe it is. We go forward from here. We go with confidence as we continue changing the country.”
But Sarwar, speaking in Scotland where Labour has seen its support slump since the 2024 election, said it was with a heavy heart that he had to defend Scotland and call for a change of leader in the UK capital London.
“The distraction needs to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change,” he told a press conference.
In response, a Downing Street spokesperson said Starmer had “a clear five-year mandate from the British people to deliver change, and that is what he will do”.
STARMER STRUGGLES TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE
With his statement, Sarwar became the most senior Labour figure to call for Starmer’s resignation, and did little to quell a febrile mood in parliament in London’s Westminster.
Government borrowing costs rose, reflecting investors’ concerns that a more left-wing Labour leader, who was willing to borrow and spend more, could take over. The climb in yields, along with the value of the pound against the euro, later eased after the potential successors came out in Starmer’s support.
With Starmer losing his fourth director of communications, his record in government is under scrutiny, including the gaffes and policy U-turns that have tainted his almost two years in power.
“It’s painful,” said one Labour lawmaker on condition of anonymity. “It’s like watching a fatal car crash in slow motion.”
But Starmer received a show of support from his deputy, David Lammy, finance minister Rachel Reeves and foreign minister Yvette Cooper, among others. Angela Rayner, his former deputy who is seen as a leading leadership candidate, offered him her “full support”.
“I urge all my colleagues to come together, remember our values and put them into practice as a team. The Prime Minister has my full support in leading us to that end,” she said on X.
With McSweeney’s departure on Sunday, Starmer had hoped to reset the narrative and attempt to return to an agenda he has so far failed to keep any focus on – tackling the cost-of-living crisis and boosting the British economy.
The leader of the opposition Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, accused Starmer of being unable to run his government.
“He’s like a plastic bag blowing in the wind. We need him to get a grip and if he can’t do it then someone else in the Labour Party needs to do that, or they should have an election,” she told Sky News.
PRIME MINISTER TO MEET LAWMAKERS
The new scandal over Mandelson, who was sacked as ambassador to the United States in September, came after files released by the U.S. Justice Department last month included emails suggesting Mandelson had leaked discussions on possible UK asset sales and tax changes to Epstein during the financial crash.
Mandelson has not commented publicly on allegations he leaked documents, and did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Starmer will meet Labour lawmakers later on Monday and try to ease anger over the handling of the appointment and quieten those voices saying he should quit.
Mandelson is now under police investigation for alleged misconduct in office.
Starmer has defended his own actions, accusing Mandelson of creating a “litany of deceit” about his Epstein ties and promising to release documents on how he was appointed.

The Iberian Peninsula has already experienced a succession of storms in recent weeks, bringing heavy rain, thunder, snow and strong gales before the arrival of Storm Marta on Saturday
International News via Reuters:
Farmers in Spain warned on Saturday that torrential rains and high winds had left fields submerged and caused millions of euros worth of damage to crops, as Spain and Portugal braced for more extreme weather.
The Iberian Peninsula has already experienced a succession of storms in recent weeks, bringing heavy rain, thunder, snow and strong gales before the arrival of Storm Marta on Saturday.
A snowplow driver died on Saturday when his vehicle plunged 20 meters (65 ft) down a slope in the El Pico mountain pass, in Avila in northern Spain, where it had been snowing heavily, emergency services said.
Earlier the same day, a 46-year-old man drowned in a river at Campo Maior, in the central Portalegre area of Portugal, emergency services said on Saturday. Five people have been killed since Storm Leonardo’s arrival last week.
More than 11,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Spain’s southern Andalusia region, while nearly 170 roads have been closed across Spain and rail services have been disrupted in Portugal.
Portugal’s agriculture ministry said on Friday that preliminary estimates put losses in the agricultural and forestry sectors at around 750 million euros ($890 million) because of the storms, which are expected to intensify in the coming days.
Spanish state weather agency AEMET warned on Saturday that Storm Marta would bring snow and hazardous coastal conditions, as well as more rain. Authorities issued an orange weather warning, the second highest after red.
The top-flight soccer match between Sevilla and Girona was postponed because of the bad weather, La Liga said, after a request by the Andalusian club.
Miguel Angel Perez, of the farmers organisation COAG in Andalusia’s Cadiz province, told Spanish television TVE on Saturday: “It is raining without stopping. Crops like broccoli, carrots and cauliflowers are under water. Thousands of hectares inundated. We have a real natural catastrophe.”
Perez said the storm had caused millions of euros of damage to this year’s crop and farmers would seek government help to recover.
GROUND TREMBLING, RIVER RISING
Waterlogging has also raised fears of structural shifts including landslides.
Residents of several towns in the Serranía de Ronda mountain range in Málaga, which had been battered by Storm Leonardo this week, said on Saturday the ground had trembled for days.
The council of one town in the area, Cortes de la Frontera, said in a post on social media on Saturday that there was “no danger” from the tremors which have also been felt in nearby towns of Benaoján, Gaucín and Jimera de Líbar.
Specialists from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) were deployed in the area to monitor the situation.
Several residential areas near the Guadalquivir River in Andalusia’s Cordoba province were evacuated on Friday due to the dramatic rise in water levels.
Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister María Jesús Montero warned that the river was expected to reach its peak level on Saturday or Sunday.
In Portugal, where the heavy rains have prompted three towns to postpone Sunday’s presidential vote till next week, more than 26,500 rescue workers have been deployed to cope with the impact of the storms.

The ECB unanimously kept its main interest rate unchanged at 2% last week, but some policymakers remain concerned that price growth might weaken too much, forcing the euro zone’s central bank to react
International News via Reuters:
The European Central Bank’s policy rate is at the right level as inflation is likely to settle at its 2% goal after a short-lived dip, ECB policymaker Joachim Nagel said on Monday.
The ECB unanimously kept its main interest rate unchanged at 2% last week, but some policymakers remain concerned that price growth, which eased to 1.7% last month, might weaken too much, forcing the euro zone’s central bank to react.
Bundesbank President Nagel said the ECB would only act if its medium-term inflation expectations deviated “sustainably and noticeably” from target, but this did not appear to be the case.
“Many factors suggest that the current interest rate level is appropriate,” he said. “First, the (inflation) shortfall is short-term and small and, in the medium term, inflation is at our target.”
He added that long-term inflation expectations were “firmly anchored”, and measures of core prices, which strip out volatile items such as energy and food, also supported this view, as did an update of the ECB’s December projections.
Data published last week showed much of January’s drop in inflation was due to lower energy costs although services also saw a moderation in price increases.
“Small, temporary deviations – especially in volatile components such as energy prices – do not … require a change of course if inflation expectations are firmly established,” Nagel said.
He said this applied both when “the inflation target might be undershot” and when inflation risked running too high.

A launch of the Arctic Sentry mission could come as early as this week, when the alliance’s defence ministers meet in Brussels
International News via Reuters:
NATO is expected to launch a mission in the coming days that could boost its surveillance and military assets in the Arctic, five sources told Reuters, following tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and European allies over Greenland.
A launch of the Arctic Sentry mission could come as early as this week, when the alliance’s defence ministers meet in Brussels, according to three European diplomats, a military official and a person familiar with the matter.
Arctic Sentry could involve military exercises, increased surveillance, additional vessels and air assets in the region, including drones, the diplomats said.
However, officials said the mission would likely focus on using NATO resources in the region more effectively rather than adding large amounts of new forces.
The mission was “part of the Alliance’s efforts to further enhance our deterrence and defence in the region, particularly in light of Russia’s military activity and China’s growing interest in the High North,” a NATO official told Reuters in an email.
The mission was expected to be operational soon, the official said.
NATO said last week it had begun planning for the mission, following talks in Davos between Trump and NATO boss Mark Rutte that eased severe strains over Trump’s ambition to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Officials said no final decision had been taken and military planners were still working on options.
But NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander, U.S. Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich, said on Monday planning was in the “final stages”.
Speaking on a visit to Luxembourg, Grynkewich said he would receive a briefing on planning for the mission from NATO’s Joint Force Command in Norfolk, Virginia on Tuesday.
“If the brief goes well … we might have something that we can announce later this week on how we’re moving forward on that,” he told reporters.

It was a day of contrasting fortunes for Bermuda’s footballing exports in the United Kingdom, as national team stars reached cup finals while coaching legends faced a difficult afternoon in the top flight.
Kenni Thompson is heading to a major final. The Bermudian winger played a pivotal role as AFC Bournemouth Women secured their place in the FA Women’s National League Cup Final with a professional 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion Women.
The semi-final clash at the Nationwide Windows Arena saw the Cherries dominate from the outset. Thompson, a standout performer since joining the club, was a constant threat on the flanks before being substituted in the 86th minute to a standing ovation. Bournemouth will now face Plymouth Argyle Women in the showcase final on March 28th.
In the Women’s Super League, life remains tough for Shaun Goater and his Aston Villa side. The Bermudian legend, currently serving as an assistant coach, saw his team fall to a heavy 4-1 defeat against Liverpool.
The result moved Liverpool off the foot of the table, leaving Villa searching for answers. Despite a competitive start, late goals from Liverpool captain Grace Fisk and substitute Aurelie Csillag put the game beyond reach.
Elsewhere, Bermuda’s national team captain Eva Frazzoni suffered a narrow defeat with AFC Sudbury Women against fellow Bermudian Jya Ratteray-Smith’s Chesham United. Sudbury were hoping to build momentum in the FA Women’s National League, but despite Frazzoni’s leadership in midfield, the hosts went down 2-1 in a tightly contested affair.
Rounding out a busy day, Jasmine Spence and her Newport Pagnell teammates also suffered a 2-1 loss to Northampton Town Women in their East Midland Division One South battle.
The high-stakes quest for a spot on Team Bermuda has reached a dramatic climax following the conclusion of the 2026 National Championship and Selection Trials. After a grueling 30-game test of skill and nerve, the island’s elite bowlers have finalized the rankings for a packed international calendar.
Entering the final session in second place, LeVinc Samuels produced a clinical performance to leapfrog his rivals and claim the title of 2026 National Champion. David Maycock, the frontrunner for much of the week, was unable to stave off the final charge and settled for silver, while Lamar Richardson completed the podium.
Beyond domestic silverware, the trials served as the primary gateway for major global assignments:
CAC Games (July/August): The top six finishers have earned their spots for the Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
1st LeVinc Samuels – 6,059 – National Champion
2nd David Maycock – 5,953 – Silver Medal
3rd Lamar Richardson – 5,893 – Bronze Medal
4th Damien Mathews – 5,645 – CAC / IBF Selection
5th Carl Reid – 5,476 – CAC Selection
6th Michael Honore – 5,363
IBF World Cup (October): Samuels, Maycock, Richardson, and Mathews have secured the four coveted invitations to Munich, Germany.
Pan American Champion of Champions: The top two—Samuels and Maycock—will represent Bermuda in Costa Rica this autumn.
For Samuels and his teammates, the focus now shifts from domestic rivalry to international preparation as they look to carry this momentum onto the world stage.
Bermudian cycling star Kaden Hopkins faces a race against time to save his debut season in Belgium after suffering a broken collarbone during a high-intensity training camp in Spain.
The 25-year-old was completing a “grueling” six-day stint in Calpe, where he and his Atom 6-Cycleur de Luxe teammates covered over 1,000 kilometers and 15,500 meters of elevation. However, the week ended in a medical emergency when Hopkins crashed on the final climb of the final day.
Currently hospitalized in Benidorm, Hopkins is expected to undergo surgery tomorrow. His father, Greg Hopkins, took to social media to highlight the “tough and dangerous” nature of the sport while praising the quick support from team staff and friends.
Despite the setback, the Bermudian remains optimistic. Having entered 2026 in “incredible shape” following a prolific 2025 campaign in Guadeloupe, he is no stranger to resilience. Just last year, he returned to the top of the podium only a week after a high-speed collision left him unconscious.
Opinion : There are many unanswered questions about CARICOM regarding economic alignment, regional obligations, and our long-term national interest, especially given changing views of the Caribbean by the U.S. Government
OPED by Michael Fahy, Shadow Minister of Housing & Municipalities and Home Affairs
In last year’s budget debate, the Government made an error by suggesting they would publish a White Paper on CARICOM membership during 2025. After I pointed out that publishing a White Paper was premature since no Green Paper existed, the Government said this was simply a mistake. So what, you ask? Whilst for many the difference between the publication of a Green Paper and then a White Paper, or for that matter no paper at all, may not matter, I believe it matters in a big way.
A White Paper, by definition, reflects settled policy direction informed by consultation. A Green Paper, on the other hand, is meant to begin the conversation, laying out options, implications, and unanswered questions so that the public can respond meaningfully. After publication of a Green Paper and then a White Paper, a referendum should follow. Skipping, or appearing to skip any step, sends the wrong signal. It suggests that conclusions may already be formed before Bermudians have had the opportunity to weigh the facts.
The fact is Bermuda is being asked to consider a decision of major significance. Should we pursue full membership in CARICOM? This is not a minor policy adjustment and should not be looked at simply as a way of becoming closer with the Caribbean due to generational ties. There are many unanswered questions regarding economic alignment, regional obligations, and our long-term national interest, especially given changing views of the Caribbean by the US Government. Precisely because of its importance, how we decide on whether full membership is the way to go is just as important as the decision itself.
This is why the OBA and I have been clear and consistent. Bermuda must follow a proper, transparent, and democratic process beginning with a Green Paper, followed by a White Paper, and ultimately allowing the people to decide through a referendum if full CARICOM membership is in our best interests.
Let me be absolutely clear. The OBA has not taken a position on being for or against CARICOM. Reasonable people can and will disagree on the merits. This is about respecting the intelligence of the Bermudian people and giving them the tools they need to make an informed decision.
A comprehensive Green Paper would set out, in plain language, what full CARICOM membership would mean for Bermuda. It would detail potential economic benefits and risks, immigration and labour implications, treaty obligations, financial contributions, and any impact on our existing international relationships. It would also clearly distinguish between associate participation, cooperation agreements, and full membership, terms that are too often conflated in public discussion.
Only after that information is publicly debated, tested, and refined should a White Paper be produced, reflecting what the Government believes is the best course of action after
listening to the people. Only then should a referendum be held, allowing Bermudians to give informed consent or refusal.
This matters because decisions of this magnitude should never be driven by emotion, nostalgia, or political symbolism alone. Our shared Caribbean heritage and regional relationships are important, and they should be acknowledged with respect. But emotional ties cannot be a substitute for rigorous analysis. The question before us is not who we feel connected to, but what is genuinely in the best interest of Bermuda economically, socially, and constitutionally now and for future generations.
We owe it to young Bermudians, in particular, not to frame this debate as an emotional litmus test of identity, but as a serious policy choice with real consequences for jobs, opportunity, and economic stability.
Publishing a Green Paper, then a White Paper followed by a referendum is not a threat to leadership, rather it is an expression of confidence in the people. On an issue as profound as CARICOM full membership, anything less would be insufficient.
Bermuda has navigated complex global relationships before by being deliberate, thoughtful, and transparent. We should do no less now. Start with a comprehensive Green Paper. Follow with an honest White Paper. Then let the people decide.
Bermuda achieved one of the greatest upsets in its tennis history, defeating Georgia 3-2 in a pulsating Davis Cup World Group II play-off in Cyprus. In a tie spanning two days of high drama, the 81st-ranked Gombey Warriors proved they were no pushovers by taking down a nation ranked 30 places above them.
The foundation of this historic victory was built on the incredible endurance of Daniel Phillips. After his three-hour heroics in an opening day win, Phillips returned on Saturday alongside Trey Mallory for a pivotal doubles rubber.
The Bermudian duo faced a formidable Georgian pair in Saba Purtseladze and Aleksandre Bakshi. Despite the Georgians firing six aces, the Bermudian pair’s consistency told the story, completing 73% of their first serves to secure a gritty 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory.
The win gave Bermuda a 2-1 lead, but the tie was pushed to a decider after Phillips fell in straight sets in his reverse singles. With the pressure at its peak, veteran Wayne Montgomery stepped onto the court to face Zura Tkemaladze.
Montgomery initially struggled as the Georgian swept through the first set 6-2. However, in a display of veteran grit, Montgomery refused to buckle, winning the second set in a tie-breaker before racing to a 6-3 finish in the decider. The two-hour and twenty-five-minute battle sparked wild celebrations as Bermuda secured their place in World Group II.
This victory marks a new pinnacle for the sport on the island, officially putting Bermuda on the international tennis map as they ascend to World Group II for the first time.
The programme is designed to improve boating safety and confidence on local waters
With Bermuda’s boating season fast approaching and interest in buying and using boats rising ahead of summer, Bermuda College is launching a key maritime training programme designed to improve boating safety and confidence on local waters.
The Seamanship and Inshore Navigation course begins in February and is the first of three maritime courses offered by the College throughout the year.
It is aimed at novice boaters, first-time boat owners, and those considering purchasing a boat, providing essential skills for safe and responsible boating in Bermuda.
Running over ten weeks, the course introduces participants to the fundamentals of seamanship and boat handling, including maritime laws, rules of the road, navigation markers, and safety requirements.
Students also learn how to manoeuvre and dock vessels, understand Bermuda’s extensive system of maritime lights, interpret weather conditions, and use VHF radio and emergency procedures correctly.
The course focuses on inshore navigation, covering the waters inside Bermuda’s reef line where most recreational boating takes place.
Unlike driving a car, there is no mandatory licensing test for recreational boaters in Bermuda, meaning individuals can legally operate a vessel without formal training.
“Many people don’t realise how much responsibility comes with being in charge of a boat,” said Major Jeffrey Patterson, Maritime Course Instructor at Bermuda College and an officer with the Bermuda Coast Guard.
“There are no road markings on the water, and conditions can change quickly. This course helps people understand their own capabilities, their boat’s limitations, and how to operate safely in Bermuda’s marine environment.”
The importance of maritime training is reinforced by real rescue operations regularly attended by the Coast Guard.
In one incident, a family boat sank in deteriorating weather conditions. The parents, who were not wearing life jackets, were clinging to the vessel, while their two children, wearing life jackets, were swept toward nearby cliffs. Two rescue boats were required to save all four individuals.
“Basic knowledge such as checking the weather forecast, carrying the correct safety equipment, and understanding what a boat can handle can prevent situations like this,” Major Patterson said.
In addition to the spring seamanship course, Bermuda College offers an Engine Driver’s Course during the summer, focusing on mechanical and electrical systems, and a Chart to Electronic Navigation course in the fall, which teaches traditional chart navigation alongside GPS and electronic systems.
Major Patterson added: “As Bermudians prepare for summer boating, the February maritime course provides timely, practical training that can help prevent accidents and save lives on the water.”
For more information on the course, which starts on February 16 to April 6, on Mondays from 6pm to 9pm. Email apace@college.bm for more details. Funding support is available.
A dozen members of the Turks and Caicos Islands Regiment have joined the local cohort for foundational training
Images and press release supplied by the Royal Bermuda Regiment.
More than 30 rookie soldiers took their places in Warwick Camp yesterday for the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s first recruit camp of 2026.
Alongside 22 men and women from the island stood 12 members of the Turks and Caicos Islands Regiment who will join the local cohort for foundational training.
The troops will be motivated and encouraged over the next two weeks as they develop drill, infantry, fieldcraft and first aid skills.
Sergeant Forrest Williams, from Paget and a business owner in civilian life, is serving on the recruit camp leadership team as a first-time platoon sergeant., He has instructed on foundational training courses four times in the role of section commander. The 35-year-old, who has been in the RBR since 2010, said: “I’m looking forward to the recruits having fun, learning what it is to become a basic soldier, then figuring out which military career path they would like to take.”
On their first day, recruits were given a tour of the camp, collected kit and equipment, and received lessons on proper dress and room standards.
Recruit Lisbeth Alvarez, 23, from Warwick, a sales associate at Marks & Spencer already knew some members of the Regiment and thought joining would offer a “great experience”.
She said: “I’m looking forward to learning discipline and hopefully making some lifelong friends, as well as pushing myself to the best of my physical abilities.
“I’ve heard about the camaraderie, that it’s like a family here, that yes, sometimes things will be hard but we always will push each other to do the best that we can.”
Recruit Donovan McKenzie, a 35-year-old entrepreneur and Hamilton resident, enlisted with a desire to increase his service to the community.
He said: “I also want to challenge myself in terms of creating more discipline at this stage of my life.
“I feel like it’s another level of achievement and that I have more to give in terms of health, maturity and also becoming more of an example for my family.
“I’m looking forward to learning new skills, becoming more inclined to working with others within the community and within the Regiment.”
Today, the recruits will gain a deeper understanding of the Regiment’s values and standards, take their first foot drill lessons and discover more about military discipline.
