West Pembroke Primary among schools receiving resources as community donors back public education
Support Public Schools, Bermuda representatives visited West Pembroke Primary School on this morning as part of island-wide deliveries of new classroom supplies, marking the start of its January distribution to public schools for the 2026 term.
The visit forms part of a broader effort by Support Public Schools, Bermuda (Support Public Schools), which has mobilised its network of supporters to provide more than $47,450 in new school supplies and programmes this term, along with an additional $5,000 in quality second-hand office supplies donated by local companies. Deliveries to classrooms are taking place on January 20 and 21.
Since its founding in 2018, SPS supporters have contributed approximately $675,000 in new supplies, in addition to hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of donated equipment, furniture, books, and learning resources for public schools across the island.
Butterfield again led corporate support, contributing $10,000 to help fulfil teachers’ classroom “wish lists.” Other donations this year included $7,150 raised through the Bermuda Bar Association’s Annual Walk, $4,000 from Meritus Trust to support CedarBridge Academy’s Vibe Tribe Club, and $5,000 from Talcott Financial Group to strengthen literacy initiatives at West Pembroke School.
SPS founder Juliana Snelling said the organisation is proud to be entering its eighth year of coordinating twice-yearly deliveries that directly enhance classroom learning, noting that the programme relies on close collaboration between teachers, volunteers, and corporate partners.
Support Public Schools was named the 2024 Meritus Foundation Award winner, recognising its impact in strengthening public education and community wellbeing.
National Security Minister says sustained recruitment and workforce planning have been ongoing
Minister of National Security Responds to Recent Commentary on Customs Operations
The Minister of National Security, the Hon. Michael Weeks, JP, MP, has noted recent commentary in the media regarding the operations of the Customs Department, including an opinion piece published in today’s Royal Gazette by Opposition Leader Robert King, and considers it important to address the matter directly and on the basis of facts rather than political rhetoric.
Minister Weeks said national security is too important to be reduced to selective commentary that does not reflect the full operational picture, adding that when issues are raised publicly, Bermudians deserve clarity, context, and accuracy.
The Minister emphasised that the Government takes the welfare of Customs officers and the operational effectiveness of the Department seriously and remains focused on ensuring Bermuda’s borders are protected through appropriate staffing, training, and modern enforcement tools.
The established operational strength required for the Customs Department to function at full capacity is 228 officers. At present, the Department has 171 officers in post, and recruitment is now underway to increase those numbers.
Sustained recruitment and workforce planning have been ongoing, rather than being addressed only when the issue becomes politically expedient.
Minister Weeks notes that Customs is currently in a seasonally slower operational period, during which trainee officers are undertaking classroom-based training for a maximum period of six weeks.
Currently at the L.F. Wade International Airport, fewer than 300 passengers are arriving on most days of the week, as compared to 1,800 passengers during the busier months in the summer.
During this time, trained officers continue to fully staff operational posts, ensuring continuity of service to the travelling public and commercial importers.
This training cycle is a normal and planned part of workforce development and does not indicate a decline in morale or service delivery. Peak operational demand traditionally begins in mid-April through May, and preparations for that busier period are already well underway.
Regarding sick leave, officers across the service may be absent at various times due to documented medical conditions that, based on medical advice, are not related to workplace fatigue or excessive work schedules. The Ministry is not aware of any organised sick-outs or work stoppages within the Customs Department.
As is widely known, the Island has experienced a recent surge in viral infections, and the Customs Department has not been exempt. As affected staff recovered, operations returned to normal following the Christmas and New Year period.
In terms of recruitment, during 2025, a total of 13 officers were hired by the Customs Department. The majority of these recruits are strategically deployed at the L.F. Wade International Airport during peak operational periods, where passenger volumes and risk profiles are highest.
An additional recruitment exercise is currently underway, with applications closing on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. This forms part of the Ministry’s ongoing workforce planning strategy to address existing staffing shortfalls, anticipated retirements, and increased operational demand during the upcoming tourist season.
The Customs Department anticipates starting another recruitment drive during 2026 to continue our efforts to bolster our ranks and increase our effectiveness.
With respect to the Hamilton Docks, the X-ray scanner is now fully repaired and has been operational since last week. While there have been limited periods over the past decade when the equipment was offline, it is incorrect to suggest that Customs is currently operating without scanning capability at the docks.
As previously outlined, the installation of a new scanning system and the completion of the associated building structure are expected within the next few months, which will further reinforce our border enforcement capability. In the interim, officers continue to conduct inspections using established alternative enforcement procedures.
Minister Weeks said the Opposition Leader’s latest commentary failed to acknowledge these facts. He stated that Mr King has once again chosen to raise concerns about Customs without acknowledging the steps already taken to address them, noting that staffing challenges did not appear overnight and will not be resolved overnight, but that the Government has been actively recruiting officers, investing in training, repairing equipment, and planning ahead for peak operational periods.
The Minister added that portraying Customs officers as unsupported or abandoned is not accurate and does a disservice to the men and women who continue to carry out their duties every day.
He further stressed that border security is not a political football but a serious responsibility that requires sustained action, not selective criticism that ignores progress when it is inconvenient to acknowledge it.
After an ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, opinion polls showed most Americans disapprove of the conduct of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
International News via Reuters:
President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is fast becoming a double-edged campaign issue in November’s hotly contested midterm congressional elections because of mounting public unease over aggressive tactics by federal immigration officers.
After an ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, sparking protests, opinion polls showed most Americans disapprove of the conduct of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, including a Reuters/Ipsos survey that pointed to a Republican split over whether federal immigration agents should try harder to avoid hurting people.
Criticism about ICE’s use of force appears to have diminished the ability of Republican candidates to pivot away from economic pessimism among voters by stressing the party’s traditionally strong standing on crime and security. Democrats could benefit, despite the party’s historic weakness on border security issues, if voters decide Trump has moved beyond what they elected him to do, said Nathan Gonzales, editor of analysis firm Inside Elections.
REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS BOTH VULNERABLE
The polling data has raised Republican concerns that souring public views of ICE operations could cloud Trump’s success at securing the U.S.-Mexico border. Record numbers of migrants flowed into the U.S. under former President Joe Biden, a topic Republicans view as a key campaign asset.
But with some Democratic candidates calling for ICE’s abolition, Democratic groups are concerned that voters worried about immigration and security could turn against them come November.
Republicans control both the Senate and the House of Representatives but face voter frustration over high prices and the economy in an election cycle that often punishes the ruling party as voters cast ballots for all 435 House seats and 35 of the 100 Senate seats.
“This is kind of a fluid situation that we’re in right now that reminds me a bit of where we were after George Floyd, where public opinion moved pretty dramatically,” said Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of the Cook Political Report.
The 2020 police killing of Floyd in Minneapolis spurred nationwide anger that brought about reforms in many U.S. states but also proved to be a political liability for both Republicans and Democrats.
Members of the public have expressed outrage over immigration enforcement tactics such as ICE agents wearing masks, zip-tying children and arresting and injuring or killing U.S. citizens. Over the weekend in Minneapolis, a naturalized U.S. citizen said immigration agents with guns drawn broke down his door and dragged him into the snow wearing shorts and Croc shoes. ChongLy Thao, 56, who goes by the name Scott, said he was returned home later without explanation or apology.
The Department of Homeland Security has said ICE officers, whom it oversees, have also faced violence.
DEMOCRATS COULD RETAKE HOUSE: ANALYSTS
Analysts say Democrats are in a strong position to gain control of the House and could cut into the 53-47-seat Republican Senate majority, if not seize the chamber outright. Losing either chamber would hinder Trump’s ability to enact his agenda and also would enable congressional investigations into administration policies and actions.
“Is (ICE) an issue that people care enough to vote on? I don’t know,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters last week.
The Trump administration is poised to ramp up immigration enforcement this year with funds Congress gave ICE to hire thousands of agents, detain more than 100,000 migrants at any given time and expand surveillance to track down possible immigration offenders. The push is expected to include more enforcement against employers, a move that could pressure businesses in sectors known to hire workers who are in the U.S. illegally.
In the coming months, ICE’s aggressive tactics could undermine Republican support among Latino voters and influence toss-up Senate races in Democratic-leaning states such as Maine and Michigan, Walter said.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR CRITICIZES ICE TACTICS
Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the most vulnerable of this year’s Republican incumbents, criticized what she considered “excessive” ICE tactics, including wearing masks and targeting immigrants without criminal records, which she said have been ordered by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“It’s not the ICE officers’ fault,” Collins told Reuters. “Some of the tactics that the secretary has had ICE use in cities are not where the focus should be.”
Some Senate Democrats hope to use government funding legislation to impose new curbs on ICE’s actions. But Collins, who oversees funding issues as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said she instead favored oversight hearings with Noem.
In response, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “President Trump and Secretary Noem are delivering on the American people’s mandate to deport illegal aliens.”
McLaughlin’s statement to Reuters cited opinion polls released months before Good’s shooting that showed most Americans favoring deportation of people in the country illegally, though one New York Times survey also said most voters thought Trump had gone too far on immigration enforcement.
The statement asserted that 70% of those arrested by ICE have been charged with or convicted of crimes, a claim that has been disputed by independent researchers, advocacy groups and journalists.
Democrats could find themselves debating whether to reform ICE or abolish the agency altogether, a question some fear could backfire on the party.
“The task ahead is not to eliminate enforcement, but to reclaim it from those who are abusing it for political gain,” the Democratic centrist think tank Third Way warned in a public memo.

The blue‑chip FTSE 100 closed down 0.72%, after touching its lowest level in over a week
International News via Reuters:
The UK’s FTSE 100 logged its steepest one-day fall in close to two weeks on Tuesday as rising uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs related to Greenland soured investor sentiment.
The blue‑chip FTSE 100 closed down 0.72%, after touching its lowest level in over a week. The domestically focused mid‑cap index fell 0.6%.
Trump threatened to impose an additional 10% tariffs on imports from eight European countries, including Britain, from February 1 unless the U.S. is allowed to buy Greenland, a Danish territory, heightening volatility across global markets.
“Geopolitical tensions have dented sentiment and cooled early-year exuberance, but they haven’t fundamentally altered the global growth or earnings outlook,” said Laura Cooper, senior macro strategist at Nuveen.
Europe is more vulnerable to higher tariffs but defence and infrastructure spending should soften the blow, creating selective opportunities in European banks, Cooper added.
In London, pharmaceutical stocks fell 1.6%. AstraZeneca’s 2.6% drop, after the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker said it would delist its American Depositary Shares and debt securities from Nasdaq, made it the biggest drag to the benchmark index.
Life insurers lost the most, down 1.9%.
Conversely, precious metals miners rose 1.8% as gold vaulted past $4,700 an ounce for the first time, while silver hovered near record highs as Trump’s tariff threats sparked a flight to safe‑haven assets. [GOL/]
Miners have been among the biggest drivers of the FTSE 100’s positive start to 2026, driving it to record highs.
This week at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland’s Davos, world leaders, policymakers and corporate executives are scheduled to deliver speeches that could steer market sentiment.
Back home, data showed Britain’s jobs market weakened ahead of the government’s November budget announcement and wage growth slowed, potentially easing the Bank of England’s worries about persistent inflation pressures.
Informa rose 4.5% to top the FTSE 100 after the events organiser launched a £200 million ($269.6 million) share buyback and forecast 6% underlying revenue growth for 2026. The media index led gains, up 2.1%.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened a further wave of tariffs on some European nations until he is allowed to take control of Greenland, to the dismay of European leaders
International News via Reuters:
France supports the suspension of a trade deal between the European Union and the U.S., Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told the French parliament on Tuesday, as a row over the future of Greenland intensified.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened a further wave of tariffs on some European nations until he is allowed to take control of Greenland, to the dismay of European leaders.
“The threat of customs duties (is) being used as blackmail to obtain unjustifiable concessions,” Barrot said, adding that the European Commission has “very powerful instruments” to respond to Trump’s threats.
The European Parliament is expected to formally suspend on Wednesday its work on the trade deal struck with the U.S. last summer in protest over Trump’s threats, EU lawmakers said.
The parliament had been due to vote on removing many EU import duties on January 26-27, but Manfred Weber, head of the European People’s Party, the largest group in parliament, said late on Saturday that approval was not possible for now.
In a post on the social media platform X, Barrot said France wants to continue working with the U.S. on security and peace. “But when the United States makes an unacceptable proposal, it (France) is prepared to say no,” Barrot wrote.

Burnham said restoring public control over key services would lower long-term costs for the state while past deregulation, privatisation, austerity and Brexit had weakened control over public finances
International News via Reuters:
Andy Burnham, a prominent figure in Britain’s governing Labour Party and leadership rival to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said on Tuesday his vision for the economy should reassure bond investors.
Burnham, who is mayor of the major northern English city of Manchester, said restoring public control over key services would lower long-term costs for the state while past deregulation, privatisation, austerity and Brexit had weakened control over public finances.
Speaking to Reuters after a speech at the Institute of Fiscal Studies think tank in London, he said Britain was stuck in a low-growth trap and needed reforms that he billed as “Manchesterism”.
Investment in housing and utilities could reduce government waste and boost economic growth if combined with the kind of collaborative, long-term planning that has served Manchester’s economy well, he said.
“That is the way to reassure markets.”
He said welfare benefits disappearing into private rents instead of social housing, as well as soaring bills charged by private utility companies, were examples of where the state could lower costs to the wider economy.
With Labour trailing in opinion polls, investors are focused on Starmer’s future before local elections in May, as well as on the fiscal discipline championed by finance minister Rachel Reeves.
Consultancy Pantheon Macroeconomics said the market was underpricing the risk of a change in Downing Street and a government under Burnham would probably run looser budgets.
Burnham, 56, mayor of Greater Manchester since 2017, was in Gordon Brown’s 2007-10 Labour government and has twice stood for the party leadership.
He has had a sometimes strained relationship with the Starmer government and in September set out his pitch for economic reform at Labour’s annual conference, taken by some lawmakers as a leadership campaign launch – something Burnham denied.
Burnham said comments made that month – when he said “we’ve got to get beyond this thing of being in hock to the bond market,” drawing scrutiny from media and investors – were misinterpreted as meaning the market should be ignored.
“I wasn’t saying that. I was saying that the system doesn’t work for (investors) either,” Burnham said, citing a short-termist culture in London’s Westminster government district.
Asked about the risk from escalating tensions between the United States and its historic allies, Burnham said Manchester would go its own way and push investment in green tech and skills.
“If the U.S. is pulling back from certain things, I think if you hold your ground and say – no, we’re going to carry on – the economic opportunity becomes bigger,” he said.
Failing to buckle-up, fasten your helmet or wear reflective gear at night can have drastic, far-reaching consequences, says Road Safety Council
Overseas file image
As Bermuda welcomes the New Year 2026, the Bermuda Road Safety Council is calling on every road user to begin the year with a renewed commitment to safety. Too many serious injuries and lives are lost each year due to preventable behaviour, and we must all do better.
Pedestrians are urged to take responsibility for their safety, particularly when travelling during early mornings, dusk, and night time hours. Walkers and runners must BE SEEN. Wearing reflective clothing, reflective bands, lights, or any form of visibility gear is essential. Too often, pedestrians are observed walking or running in dark clothing with nothing reflective at all, making them extremely difficult for motorists to see. This is dangerous and significantly increases the risk of serious collisions, especially on poorly lit roads.
The Bermuda Road Safety Council also strongly reminds all persons travelling on two-wheeled vehicles to always wear a helmet and ensure it is properly fitted and securely fastened. This includes riders of electric bikes. Helmets are designed to protect the head in the event of a collision or fall, and wearing one can be the difference between minor injury and a life-altering or fatal head injury.
For those travelling in motor vehicles, safety must never be taken lightly. Drivers and passengers are reminded to wear seatbelts at all times, no matter how short the journey. Seatbelts save lives. Parents and caregivers are also reminded that young children must be properly secured in an approved car seat that is appropriate for their age and size. Failing to do so places children at serious risk.
As we begin a new year, the Bermuda Road Safety Council asks everyone to reflect on their habits and make safer choices. Safety is not just a personal decision—it affects families, friends, and the wider community.
Make safety your New Year’s resolution. Be visible. Wear your helmet. Buckle up. Protect your children. Everyone must do their part to keep Bermuda’s roads safe.

High-level meetings work towards new sentencing guidelines
The Sentencing Guidelines Committee held meetings during the week of 5 January 2026 when a delegation from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office joined local officials for a working week. The FCDO team comprised Dame Maura McGowan, a Justice of the Royal Courts of Justice, Mrs. Sirah Abraham, a Criminal Justice Advisor to the Eastern Caribbean and Mr. Robert Harper of the UK Ministry of Justice.
Over the course of the week, the UK delegation held a series of meetings, including with His Excellency the Governor Mr. Andrew Murdoch CMG, the Chief Justice Hon. Mr. Larry Mussenden, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Senator the Hon. Ms. Kim Wilkerson JP, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Ms. Cindy Clarke, the Commissioner of Police Darrin Simons, members of the criminal defence bar, members of the Department of Corrections and the Department of Court Services. They observed the monthly Arraignments session presided over by Mr. Justice Wolffe and Plea Court, Mental Health Treatment Court and Drug Treatment Court sessions all presided over by Senior Magistrate Mrs. Maxanne Anderson.
Two working sessions were held with the Sentencing Guidelines Committee, during which principles, concepts, and approaches to guideline development were discussed. The Committee resolved to focus its initial work on sentencing guidelines in both the Supreme Court and the Magistrates’ Court for offences involving possession of bladed weapons and traffic offences which involve grievous bodily harm and death, with the intention of issuing guidelines for these offences later this year.
Mr. Justice Wolffe noted that the working week accomplished significant progress in establishing a framework for sentencing guidelines and setting a priority for the more serious and prevalent offences. Dame Maura emphasized the importance of transparency and consistency in sentencing, highlighting that Bermuda’s initiative reflects international best practice.
As the Sentencing Guidelines are developed over the upcoming months and years, they will be published and available online to the participants in the criminal justice system especially defendants so that everyone can see and understand the approach to sentencing for specific offences. The Committee’s work marks an important step toward consistency, fairness, and confidence in Bermuda’s criminal justice system.”
The refined special development order approved by the Department of Planning includes 250 new proposed residential and tourism units
Don’t keep neighbours in the dark.
That’s the plea from an area MP who is seeking more detail about the final special development order granted to developers of the Fairmont Southampton.
Linda Smith, OBA MP for Southampton West Central, says residents have many outstanding questions on how the proposed 250 residential units will impact the area.
About 5.9 acres of recreational land will be lost to the construction, most of it from the Turtle Hill golf course and realignment of South Road.
Representatives of Gencom and the Department of Planning have been contacted for comment
City donations gratefully received by help agencies
City CEO Dwayne Caines, Area Commander for the Salvation Army Captain Alfred Esdaille and Mayor Charles Gosling
The City of Hamilton has continued its tradition of supporting community-based organizations with charitable donations today to the Salvation Army and Compassionate Care Partners (formerly Friends of Hospice).
Earlier this morning, Mayor Charles Gosling and City CEO Dwayne Caines joined representatives from both organizations at City Hall to present donation cheques on behalf of the City.
Compassionate Care Partners received a donation of $4,000, raised through the City’s annual Christmas raffle. The raffle was organized by the City’s Engagement Committee as part of the City’s internal holiday celebrations and is a long-standing initiative aimed at supporting local charities during the holiday season. Members of the Engagement Committee joined the Mayor and CEO for the cheque presentation to Compassionate Care Partners. Meanwhile, the Salvation Army received a $10,000 donation as part of the City’s annual charitable giving.
During the presentation Mayor Gosling highlighted the importance of supporting organizations that deliver essential services. “Supporting organizations like the Salvation Army and Compassionate Care Partners is part of the City of Hamilton’s mission to uplift our community,” Mayor Gosling said. “These organizations provide vital services every day, from feeding and sheltering those in need with dignity, to strengthening hospice and palliative care services for individuals and families across Bermuda. Winter can be a particularly difficult time for many, and we hope that donations like these help ease that burden while encouraging others to give. The Salvation Army and Compassionate Care Partners are there for our community every day of the year, offering vital support.”
Mayor Charles Gosling, City CEO Dwayne Caines, Executive Director of Compassionate Care Partners Jennifer Mahoney, and members of the City’s Engagement Committee.
Jennifer Mahoney, Executive Director of Compassionate Care Partners, expressed her appreciation, saying, “We are sincerely grateful to the City of Hamilton for this generous donation.
