Last update: 5 hours ago

National Hero Farewell: Barbados and the cricketing world marked the final innings of Sir Garfield Sobers with a state funeral at Kensington Oval, tributes from leaders and fans, and a 19-gun salute—while Rihanna paid a quiet tribute and called his legacy an inspiration for generations. Culture & Community: St Barnabas Anglican Church hosted the Caribbean’s first Bob Marley Emancipation Mass, blending reggae with worship and reigniting talk on justice and reparations. Crop Over Spotlight: International media are in Barbados for the final stretch of Crop Over 2026 as BTMI ramps up global exposure ahead of Grand Kadooment. Diplomacy & Development: Barbados and China highlighted their 50-year partnership ahead of the 2027 milestone, pointing to projects like the South Coast Water Reclamation Programme and Upland Rice cooperation. Public Safety: A High Court judge fined a gun offender $30,000, citing the escalating firearm crisis and a zero-tolerance approach. Economy Watch: The Central Bank reported growth losing momentum in the first half of the year amid global shocks, higher rates, and inflation pressures. Hospitality Business: The Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF 2026) is coming to Barbados in November, with sessions on AI, revenue growth, workforce development and sustainability.
