Bermudian equestrian standout Cody Rego continued his development on the world stage this week, featuring in the prestigious $25,000 BrainJuice Under 25 Grand Prix Series Team Event. The competition, a centerpiece of the 2026 Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, saw some of the finest young riders in the sport convene for a high-stakes evening under the lights.
Rego was part of a four-rider contingent competing under the banner of Oakland 12. In a field characterized by technical complexity and tight time allowed, the team faced a stern test. Despite a spirited collective effort, Oakland 12 concluded the evening in ninth place overall, finishing with a combined total of twelve penalty fault points once the drop score was applied.
The Bermudian rider, partnered with the experienced Mendoza VDL, produced a performance that balanced speed with careful jumping. The pair navigated the intricate course with precision but were unfortunate to see a single rail fall, resulting in four penalty fault points. They stopped the clock in 68.37 seconds, contributing a solid score to the team’s tally.
The theme of four-fault rounds became a recurring story for the Oakland 12 squad. Livia Martin, Elena Haas, and the highly decorated Mimi Gochman all mirrored Rego’s performance, each picking up four penalty fault points. While their individual times were competitive—ranging from 65.60 to 66.35 seconds—the cumulative faults kept the podium out of reach on this occasion.
For Rego, the experience remains a vital part of his transition into the upper echelons of the sport. Competing in a team format at Wellington provides a unique pressure that serves as ideal preparation for future international duties. The Bermudian will now look to build on this performance as the circuit moves into its final months of competition.
Hamilton, Bermuda (6 February 2026) – Bermuda Electric Light Company (BELCO) Managing Director Shelly Leman today urged the public to remain vigilant as local weather forecasts have the island under a gale warning with wet and windy conditions currently impacting the island and expected to continue through the weekend.
Ms. Leman said: “Our Incident Command Structure has been enacted via our Operations Centre to ensure any required restoration is conducted efficiently and safely. With adverse weather currently impacting the island, our team is fully operational, and crews are responding to and restoring power as long as it remains safe to do so.
“As of 11:30am approximately 750 customers are experiencing outages, and our crews are actively working to restore power. BELCO’s reporting telephone line, 955, is fully operational and customers can call to report any emergencies such as pole fires or sparking or downed lines if they occur.”
Ms. Leman emphasised several critical safety measures for the public. “I urge residents to secure their properties and remove or tie down all loose items in yards including furniture, toys, trash cans, and gardening equipment that could become airborne projectiles during high winds and potentially contact BELCO’s overhead wires. As an example, last weekend an unsecured trampoline became airborne and caused a prolonged outage impacting customers in the Dolly’s Bay area of St. David’s due to the damage sustained to overhead infrastructure. Customers are also reminded to unplug sensitive equipment and electronics if affected by a power outage.”
She added: “If BELCO has a road blocked off with cones or barricades, I ask that you please do not attempt to bypass them. These barriers identify critical working zones and are set out to protect both the public and our crews working in hazardous conditions.”
BELCO will be providing regular updates throughout the weekend on the Company’s social media channels including Facebook (@BELCOBermuda), Instagram (@belcobermuda), and X (@BELCOBermuda).
“We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding as our crews work to maintain service and restore power as quickly and safely as possible,” Ms. Leman concluded. “Please stay safe and follow official weather advisories.”
The stage is set for a landmark moment in Bermudian tennis as the national team prepares for a high-stakes Davis Cup World Group II play-off against Georgia. Following the official draw in Larnaca, Cyprus, the squad faces a significant challenge at the Herodotou Tennis Academy with their place in World Group II on the line.
While the atmosphere in Cyprus remains focused, organizers have warned of potential rain for the opening day. A reserve day has been scheduled for Sunday to ensure the best-of-five tie is completed.
Bermuda’s leading player, Daniel Phillips, arrived in Cyprus earlier today following a grueling two-day journey. Despite the travel fatigue, Phillips immediately joined his teammates for a training session before resting ahead of his opening singles match.
The tie begins with a tough test for Phillips (1,531st), who faces world-ranked 531st Aleksandre Bakshi in the opening singles match. Following him, Montgomery will make his debut in the second singles rubber against Saba Purtseladze, currently ranked 292nd.
The doubles rubber—often the turning point in Davis Cup ties—will see the established duo of Trey Mallory and Phillips team up to face Aleksandre Metreveli.
This weekend marks the first time in the history of the sport that a Bermudian men’s team has competed at this elite level. While the rankings favor Georgia, the Bermudian camp remains undeterred and ready to meet the challenge head-on.
Concacaf has officially announced that Costa Rica will host the Final Round of the 2026 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Qualifiers. The tournament will take place at the Costa Rican Football Federation headquarters in San Rafael, Alajuela, from March 17th to March 22nd, 2026.
Bermuda’s young athletes are among the elite 12 participating teams, having earned their spot after a historic performance in Round One.
Bermuda advanced to the Final Round for the second consecutive year as one of the two best second-place finishers. Competing in Group B on home soil, the team finished with a commendable seven points, missing out on the automatic top spot only by goal difference to Panama.
The team’s efficiency was a major talking point throughout the qualifiers. Bermuda topped the Confederation in goal conversion rate, turning 36% of their shots into goals.
The Final Round will feature three groups of four teams. Bermuda will be joined by heavyweights such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as other Round One standouts like Haiti and Jamaica.
The official draw to determine the groups is scheduled for February 18th at 12 noon Bermuda Time.
At the conclusion of the group stage, the three group winners and the best second-place finisher will qualify for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
The EU watchdog’s charges focus on TikTok’s addictive design which includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system
International News via Reuters:
TikTok was charged on Friday with breaching EU online content rules over what the bloc’s regulator said were its addictive features and was told to change the design of its app or risk a fine of as much as 6% of owner ByteDance’s global turnover.
The EU watchdog’s charges focus on TikTok’s addictive design which includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system.
TikTok, whose algorithm is driven by the understanding of a user’s interest and has been key to the social media app’s global success, criticised the European Commission charges.
The regulatory move underscores the European Union’s crackdown on Big Tech which has drawn criticism from the U.S. government over censorship and led to threats of tariffs.
The Commission set out its charges after a year-long investigation under the Digital Services Act (DSA) which requires large online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content.
“The Commission’s preliminary findings present a categorically false and entirely meritless depiction of our platform, and we will take whatever steps are necessary to challenge these findings,” a TikTok spokesperson said.
The Commission, which acts as the EU tech enforcer, cited the platform’s generation of new content to constantly reward users which fuels the urge to keep scrolling and shift users’ brains into autopilot mode as an example of an addictive feature.
The EU regulator said TikTok did not adequately assess how these features could harm the physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including children and vulnerable adults.
It accused TikTok of disregarding important indicators of compulsive use of the app, such as the time that minors spend on it at night and the frequency with which users open the app.
The EU watchdog said TikTok seems to fail to implement reasonable, proportionate and effective measures such as screentime management tools and parental control tools to mitigate risks and it needs to change the basic design.
“So now we are expecting after that … TikTok has to take actions and they have to change the design of their service in Europe to protect our minors,” EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen told reporters.
She said investigations into other online platforms were advancing well and that decisions are expected in the next weeks and months, without naming any company.
Meta Platforms’ Facebook and Instagram were charged with DSA breaches in October last year over their so-called dark patterns or deceptive interface designs among others.
EU regulators also asked Snapchat, YouTube, Apple and Google for information on their age verification systems and how they prevent minors from accessing illegal products and harmful material.
EU lawmaker Alexandra Geese praised the EU move on TikTok.
“Many social media platforms ruthlessly exploit these (addictive) mechanisms to boost advertising revenue at the expense of the health of children and teenagers. This must come to an end,” she said in a statement.
TikTok can ask to see the Commission’s documents and provide a written response before the watchdog issues a decision.
The company last year settled charges of infringing a DSA requirement to publish an advertisement repository allowing researchers and users to detect scam advertisements.

The veteran singer is suing Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, for alleged widespread privacy intrusions along with his husband David Furnish, Prince Harry and four others
International News via Reuters:
Singer Elton John told London’s High Court on Friday he was incensed to learn of allegations his landline phones had been bugged on behalf of the Daily Mail, saying the papers’ actions were “outside even the most basic standards of human decency”.
The veteran singer, known for hits such as “Rocket Man” and “Your Song”, is suing Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, for alleged widespread privacy intrusions along with his husband David Furnish, Prince Harry and four others.
Associated denies allegations of phone hacking and other unlawful acts, saying its newspapers’ stories were based on information which was already in the public domain or obtained from legitimate sources, such as celebrities’ “leaky” social circles.
It has called the claims “preposterous smears”.
JOHN SAYS HE WAS ‘OUTRAGED’
John, who appeared by videolink wearing a blue shirt and green jacket, said he had only learned of the Mail’s alleged wrongdoing when he was told by his close friend, actor Elizabeth Hurley, who is another of the claimants.
Hurley had been informed by a private investigator that John’s landline phones had been bugged when she was staying with him shortly after the birth of her son.
The evidence from the private investigator is one of the main issues of contention in the case as, having originally given a statement in support of the claimants, he has now retracted it and cast doubt on its authenticity.
“When we realised the seriousness of what had happened .. We were outraged,” said John, who has sold more than 300 million records over a six-decade career.
John, who said he did not own a mobile phone, said that while Hurley was staying with him his three landline phones were “hacked”.
“I was incensed,” said the singer, who apologised for having to appear by videolink because “the inconvenience of my eyesight” meant he was not able to attend in person.
“I’ve never been afraid of fighting my corner … with the British press when I think I’ve been treated badly or there’s been an injustice.”
Associated’s lawyer Catrin Evans questioned John about some of the 10 articles published between 2002 and 2015, putting to him that information might have come from his own spokesperson or other lawful sources, such as his circle of friends.
“My friends do not talk to the press and that is why they are still my friends to put it bluntly,” John said, later saying Evans was “clutching at straws” and asked why she was not focusing on the “horrendous things” Associated had done.
One of the articles he and Furnish complain about relates to a 2010 article about the couple having had a child through surrogacy, saying the Mail obtained a copy of their son’s birth certificate before they did.
“It has been truly sickening for David and me to see the disclosure in our case, with Zachary as a target when he was just born, with David and me as targets, with me as a target when I was sick and unwell,” John wrote in his witness statement.
“I have found The Mail’s deliberate invasion into my medical health and medical details surrounding the birth of our son Zachary abhorrent and outside even the most basic standards of human decency.”
John is the last of the seven claimants to give evidence, with the nine-week trial due to conclude next month.

Party says internal turmoil has distracted from the Opposition’s constitutional role while the PLP remains focused on cost-of-living relief, housing, and healthcare
The Bermuda Progressive Labour Party issued the following statement.
The Bermuda Progressive Labour Party acknowledges the change in Opposition Leadership following a reported vote of No Confidence by OBA MPs and the subsequent action taken to remove Mr. Robert King.
With over 100 days passed since his appointment, Mr. King’s “100-day plan” has crashed and burned at the hands of his own colleagues.
Mr. Smith, despite having had to backpedal away from past inappropriate remarks directed towards people of Jamaican descent, has been chosen by his colleagues as the 8th Opposition Leader in 9 years.
Bermudians benefit when there is an Opposition that is constructive, credible, and stable. Their perpetual upheaval has clearly been a debilitating distraction from not only addressing the issues that matter most to Bermudians, but also on their important constitutional role as Opposition.
The Bermuda Progressive Labour Party in contrast remains focused on working to provide cost of living relief, invest in our people, expand access to affordable housing and expand access to affordable healthcare. That work continues regardless of political drama elsewhere.
The move is the biggest in a series of writedowns as many Western automakers pull back from battery-powered models in response to Trump administration policies and weaker-than-expected demand
International News via Reuters:
Stellantis announced 22.2 billion euros ($26.5 billion) of charges on Friday as it scales back its electric-vehicle ambitions, hammering its shares as automakers pay the price of misjudging the switch to cleaner driving.
The move is the biggest in a series of writedowns, including at Ford and General Motors, as many Western automakers pull back from battery-powered models in response to Trump administration policies and weaker-than-expected demand.
Stellantis’ Milan-listed shares slumped as much as 25% to their lowest since the group was created in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA. The drop means the writedown is now larger than the company’s market value.
“The charges announced today largely reflect the cost of overestimating the pace of the energy transition that distanced us from many car buyers’ real-world needs, means and desires,” CEO Antonio Filosa said in a statement.
“The reset we have announced today is part of the decisive process we started in 2025, to once again make our customers and their preferences our guiding star.”
Alongside tariffs, slower demand in top market China, and cheap competition from Chinese manufacturers, legacy automakers are having to grapple with a slower-than-expected take-up of EVs, particularly in the U.S. where President Donald Trump has rolled back subsidies and dismissed green technologies.
Chinese EV giant BYD posted weak January sales, hitting its shares and local peers, while Japan’s Toyota – which has fared better than most thanks to a contrarian bet on hybrids – named a new CEO on Friday.
STELLANTIS TO MAKE CASH PAYMENTS OVER FOUR YEARS
Fabio Caldato, portfolio manager at AcomeA SGR, which owns Stellantis shares, told Reuters that higher-than-expected charges had become more likely after hefty impairments by GM and Ford in recent months.
“Further encouraging data is needed to restore full investor confidence in Stellantis, also because we are not seeing strong signs of recovery in the automotive semiconductor cycle, which could limit the group’s sales recovery potential,” he said.
The charges, booked in results for the second half of 2025, mainly relate to re-aligning models with customer preferences and new emission rules in the U.S., “reflecting significantly reduced expectations for EV products”, Stellantis said.
They also reflect reductions to the group’s EV supply chain, revised estimates for contractual warranty provisions due to poor product quality, and previously announced job cuts in Europe.
The writedowns include about 6.5 billion euros in cash payments expected to be spread over four years from 2026.
“Whilst an impairment was very much expected, the magnitude and larger cash out component at 6.5 billion euros, albeit spread over 4 years to suppliers is a key negative,” Citi analysts said in a note.
SCALING BACK EV AMBITIONS
Filosa began scaling back the Fiat to Jeep maker’s EV ambitions last year after taking over from Carlos Tavares, whose aggressive push into electrification contributed to a prolonged sales decline in Europe and in the group’s former profit powerhouse, the North American market.
As part of that shift, the Italian-French-American group on Thursday agreed to sell its 49% stake in a battery joint venture in Canada to South Korean partner LG Energy Solution.
Gartner analyst Pedro Pacheco warned that Stellantis and others risked shifting too far away from EVs.
“There is an overreaction in terms of the strategic pivoting,” he said. “They need to go into this and do things right because their survival might depend on this.”
Due to the writedowns, Stellantis now expects a preliminary net loss of between 19 billion and 21 billion euros in the second half of fiscal 2025 and won’t pay a dividend this year.
It expects industrial cash burn of between 1.4-1.6 billion euros in the second half.
The group will also issue up to 5 billion euros in non-convertible subordinated perpetual hybrid bonds.
“These actions will contribute to preserving a strong balance sheet, with approximately 46 billion euros in industrial available liquidity at year-end,” it said.
For 2026, Stellantis forecast a mid-single-digit increase in net revenue and a low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. It expects positive industrial free cash flows in 2027.
The company will release final second-half and full-year 2025 results on February 26.

Over 7,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the Andalusia region so far amid a so-called “storm train” in which several consecutive storms have pounded Portugal and Spain
International News via Reuters:
Authorities in southern Spain have evacuated residential areas out of fear a major river could overflow, and warned of landslides caused by bursting aquifers on Friday after Storm Leonardo swept over the Iberian Peninsula.
Over 7,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the Andalusia region so far amid a so-called “storm train” in which several consecutive storms have pounded Portugal and Spain with torrential rains and strong winds over the past weeks.
State weather agency AEMET warned that another storm, Marta, would hit the peninsula on Saturday, bringing more abundant rainfall.
Several residential areas near the Guadalquivir riverbed in Cordoba province were evacuated overnight due to the dramatic rise in water levels.
LANDSLIDE RISK IN THE GRAZALEMA MOUNTAINS
Also evacuated were the approximately 1,500 residents of Grazalema, a mountain village popular with hikers, as water seeped through the walls of houses and cascaded along steep cobbled streets.
“We couldn’t sleep because we’re so stressed and anxious,” evacuee Maria Fernandez told state broadcaster TVE at a sports hall in Ronda, some 30 km (20 miles) away, where villagers were taken.
Andalusia’s regional leader, Juan Manuel Moreno, told radio station SER that aquifers in the Grazalema mountains were full and could provoke landslides due to pent-up pressure.
He added geologists were assessing the situation in Grazalema to determine when residents would be able to return to their homes.
The Grazalema mountains are made of permeable rock that dissolves when absorbing large volumes of water, potentially leading to structural collapse, Nahum Mendez-Chazarra, a professor of geology at Valencia University, told Reuters.
“It’s possible these cavities will widen and eventually cause the ground to sink, which will obviously affect any house or road on top,” he said.
PORTUGAL EXTENDS CALAMITY STATE
In southern Portugal, large parts of the town of Alcacer do Sal by the River Sado remained semi-submerged for the third straight day.
“I’m left with nothing, nothing. I only kept the clothes I had on,” Alcacer resident Rita Morgado told Reuters, adding that more than 1,000 people needed help.
In Portugal’s second-biggest city Porto, the River Douro overflowed in the early hours on Friday, causing minor flooding at riverside cafe terraces.
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said late on Thursday his government had extended a state of calamity in 69 municipalities until mid-February, adding “unprecedented” rainfall and flood risks threatened several regions.
The commander of Portugal’s ANEPC civil protection service, Mario Silvestre, said six rivers – including the Tagus – were at risk of significant flooding.
The Tagus river basin was placed on red alert on Thursday due to the abrupt rise in water flow.

The release of an enormous cache of new files last week has revealed a host of new Epstein connections with politicians, royals and the ultra-rich

International News via Reuters:
Norway looks set to launch an inquiry into its own foreign ministry over links to late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, one of several European nations to feel the heat from a scandal that has yet to cause major political repercussions in the U.S.
The release of an enormous cache of new files last week has revealed a host of new Epstein connections with politicians, royals and the ultra-rich.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s future is looking increasingly uncertain over his decision last year to name Peter Mandelson, who had a close friendship with Epstein, as ambassador to Washington.
The king’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had already been forced to relinquish his royal title and lavish residence, and pressure is now growing on him to testify in the U.S.
In Slovakia, Prime Minister Robert Fico’s national security adviser has resigned after emails were revealed in which he discussed young women with Epstein.
And former French culture minister Jack Lang is being urged to resign as president of the Arab World Institute.
NORWAY IN EPSTEIN SCANDAL SPOTLIGHT
But Norway, home of the Nobel Peace Prize and often a fulcrum of international diplomacy, seems to have more than its share of fallout.
Public figures including Crown Princess Mette-Marit and former prime minister and foreign minister Thorbjoern Jagland are all under fresh scrutiny.
So are former foreign minister Boerge Brende, now leader of the World Economic Forum; Mona Juul, ambassador to Jordan and Iraq; and her husband Terje Roed-Larsen.
Jagland is also a former chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Juul and Roed-Larsen helped set up the secret channel for contacts between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli government that led to the 1993-1995 Oslo Accords.
All were known to have had ties to Epstein, but the new files have offered much more detail.
A majority of parties in Norway’s parliament appear ready to support an independent inquiry into the foreign ministry, Norwegian media reported.
Norway’s economic crime police unit said on Thursday it was investigating Jagland on suspicion of aggravated corruption. Jagland’s lawyer said his client was confident of demonstrating his innocence and would cooperate.
JAGLAND CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION
The foreign ministry said it would seek to lift the diplomatic immunity Jagland enjoys as ex-head of the Council of Europe, from 2009 to 2019. The Council did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Neither Roed-Larsen nor Juul immediately answered requests for comment sent respectively to his lawyer and the ministry, which has suspended Juul while she addresses an internal probe.
Brende has said he was unaware of Epstein’s past and criminal activities before first meeting him in 2018, and that he regrets not having investigated him more thoroughly.
The files published by the U.S. Justice Department showed extensive email correspondence between Epstein and the Norwegian crown princess, even after he was found guilty of child sex crimes in 2008. Mette-Marit has apologised.
Norway’s royal family is already dealing with several challenges. Marius, Mette-Marit’s son from a relationship predating her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, is currently on trial for rape and domestic violence.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was last up 4.4% at $65,894.20, clawing back losses after having slid 5% to hit a low of $60,008.52 earlier on
International News via Reuters:
Bitcoin broke back above $65,000 on Friday, as a global rout in technology stocks that had vaporised many risky bets across asset classes showed tentative signs of slowing.
Bitcoin was still set for its worst weekly performance since late 2022 as cryptocurrencies have struggled for months since a record crash last October sent bitcoin tumbling from an all-time peak and investor sentiment towards digital assets has cooled.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was last up 4.4% at $65,894.20, clawing back losses after having slid 5% to hit a low of $60,008.52 earlier on. So far this week, it’s lost nearly 14% in value, the most in a week since November 2022.
The price is still around its weakest since early October 2024. That was just before bitcoin’s rally accelerated as Donald Trump closed in on winning the U.S. presidential election, having signalled his intention to support crypto on the campaign trail.
“Bitcoin’s been going down since October (2025), maybe you could ask if it was the canary in the coalmine, or a coincidence,” said Chris Weston, head of research at brokerage Pepperstone in Melbourne.
“A lot of these big crowded positions are being unwound very, very quickly.”
Ether was last up 4% at $1,921, having similarly slid close to a 10-month low of $1,751.94 earlier in the session. It was headed for a weekly decline of nearly 16% and a year-to-date decline of 35%.
The global crypto market has lost some $2 trillion in value since hitting a peak of $4.379 trillion in early October, CoinGecko data showed, with more than $1 trillion wiped out over the past month alone.
Sentiment towards crypto had been affected by the latest selling in precious metals and stocks. Gold and silver, for instance, have become more volatile as a result of leveraged buying and speculative flows.
Bitcoin’s fortunes have been tied to the broader tech sector for some time. The price tended to rise, particularly on the back of investor enthusiasm over artificial intelligence.
“Bitcoin drifting back toward $60,000 is not crypto dying, it is the bill coming due for Treasuries and funds that treated bitcoin as a one-way asset without real risk controls, just as we have seen sharp corrections in self-proclaimed safe-haven assets like gold and silver when leverage and narrative ran ahead of reality,” said Joshua Chu, co-chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association.
“Those who bet too big, borrowed too much or assumed prices only go up are now finding out the hard way what real market volatility and risk management look like.”
Analysts from Deutsche Bank said in a note that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs witnessed outflows of more than $3 billion in January, following outflows of about $2 billion and $7 billion in December and November, respectively.
“February is not panning out well for stock market bulls so far, we shall have to see if bitcoin’s recovery above $65,000 is a sign that a deeper recovery is on the cards,” XTB research director Kathleen Brooks said.
