For months, has been in the habit of announcing on social media the next targets of his brutal foot soldiers. Seemingly drunk on his own power in a , the gang leader has issued death threats against everyone from the country’s interim government to international peacekeepers. But telegraphing his next operational move in a public video this week proved disastrous for him and his Vivre Ensemble alliance of trigger-happy thugs, after it gave police and vigilantes a chance to prepare their fightback. In the video, Cherizier said that his men would target any hotels in Petionville, an affluent suburb in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, hosting members of the transitional council, a panel charged with organising the country’s first elections in a decade. Describing them as “oligarchs”, he said the only way they could save themselves would be by stepping down. A few hours later, in the small hours on Tuesday, two trucks carrying dozens of his heavily-armed men swung into Petionville, one of them parking across the main road into the suburb to block residents from fleeing. Dawn revealed a scene of carnage. Yet it was the gangsters who had paid the heaviest price for their attempts to terrorise the suburb. Their mutilated corpses littered the streets. Some had been decapitated. Others had had their feet hacked off. There was also a pile of smouldering bodies which neighbours had set alight. At least 28 Vivre Ensemble members are confirmed to have died. Martine Villeneuve, country director for the charity Action Against Hunger, said shooting and shouting could be heard around Petionville from 2am to 11am as the vigilantes and police repulsed wave after wave of Vivre Ensemble attacks. “The self-defence groups in the neighbourhoods were carrying out a manhunt for anyone associated with the gangs. Tuesday was a long night. It was very disturbing,” she told The Telegraph. Vigilantes protecting their families from the gangs that target them with , is not new in Haiti, where the police force is undermanned, riddled with corruption and outgunned by the gangsters. The vigilante movement is known as Bwa Kale and has even inspired musical tributes with machine gun-like drum mixes. Typically, residents and local business owners club together to arm neighbourhood self-defence groups, meaning that Petionville’s self-appointed defenders may have been better equipped than those in poorer districts. “The auto-defence groups are trying to protect their neighbourhoods. They put barricades in the street and control who enters and leaves,” said Ms Villeneuve. “They know who lives there, and which organisations are trying to help, but they stop anyone suspicious.” Yet fighting back against the gangs is a high-stakes strategy. One of the worst massacres since the current bout of bloodshed broke out in Haiti in February came in September in the small town of Pont-Sondé after locals dismantled a “toll booth” that the Gran Grif gang had placed on a nearby road. The gang responded by shooting and hacking to death around 70 people. Meanwhile, in the currently engulfing Haiti, the Bwa Kale have sparked concerns about their own human rights abuses and the risk that they will devolve into yet more criminal gangs. Tuesday’s gun battle in Petionville comes as the bloodshed in Haiti appears to be ramping up amid yet more political turbulence in the . Two weeks ago, the transitional council replaced Garry Conille, a US ally, as prime minister, prompting the latest wave of bloodletting. Since then, flights into Port-au-Prince’s main airport have been suspended after a Spirit Airlines passenger jet flying in from Florida was shot at multiple times, injuring a stewardess. Meanwhile, after 30 years of uninterrupted service, Doctors Without Borders this week , saying the security situation had become untenable and blaming, among others, the Bwa Kale. In a statement, the group accused police and vigilantes of having “executed” two patients, presumably injured gang members, being transported in one of its ambulances, the latest in a series of threats and attacks on its operations. The group’s withdrawal intensifies a humanitarian situation that Ms Villeneuve describes as “catastrophic”. The violence has , leaving crops unharvested and food unable to enter Port-au-Prince, with the port closed and the roads into the city controlled by the gangs. Half of Haiti’s population of nearly 12 million now eat just one meal a day. Another 1.2 million are “on the brink of famine”, according to Ms Villeneuve, with just one meal every two or three days. Yet Cherizier, a former elite police officer with political ambitions and a penchant for pseudo-revolutionary rhetoric, appears undaunted, treating both ordinary Haitians and his own gang members as expendable. Since the disastrous street battle in Petionville, he has been seen handing out school backpacks to children in Port-au-Prince as he attempts to bolster his image as a Robin Hood character defending the very communities he terrorises.

JAMAICA, N.Y. , Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) today announced that Turkish Airlines will begin operations at the new terminal when it opens in 2026. Turkish Airlines will also unveil a brand new, state-of-the-art lounge for its premium customers, launching the next phase of the award-winning airline's growth at its top U.S. gateway. The New Terminal One, set to be the largest international terminal in the United States , will offer best-in-class amenities and innovative technology for a transformational and efficient travel experience. The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network. Turkish Airlines, which currently flies 19 times weekly from JFK Airport to its hub at Istanbul , providing seamless connections to its extensive global network, will continue to offer top-tier service from the new terminal. As part of its expansion in the JFK market, Turkish Airlines will open an 11,000-square-foot lounge in the New Terminal One – twice the size of the airline's lounge at the existing Terminal 1. The new lounge will feature premium amenities, expansive views of JFK Airport's airfield and provide direct boarding access to aircraft, offering unmatched convenience for Turkish Airlines' business class customers and top-tier frequent flyers. Recognized for its exceptional in-flight service, Turkish Airlines recently received the World Class Award from the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) for the fourth consecutive year, placing it among just 10 airlines in the world to have received this prestigious recognition.

NoneBY disclosing her order for the assassination of the first couple and the House speaker and accusing them of corruption without presenting any proof, Vice President Sara Duterte is digging her own grave deeper, so to speak. Appearing like a woman scorned, Duterte hurled not only expletives but also serious accusations and death threats at President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez in the course of shielding her chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, from questions on the questionable spending of P612.5 million in confidential funds by her office in 2022 and 2023.

For exporters, farmers, health workers, academics, small businesses and the hospitality sector in our county, Labour’s indefensible denial of Brexit’s long-term economic damage is the ‘elephant in the room’. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is “not satisfied” with economic growth since Labour came to power – but only Labour is to blame for a Budget failing everyone from pensioners to million-pound exporters. Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey knows that Brexit has undermined the economy. Pointing out the consequences of leaving the EU and the customs checks impacting on trade, Mr Bailey said the UK must rebuild its relations with the EU “while respecting the decision of the British people”. I’m calling Bailey out on that because – to put it bluntly about Brexit – ‘it wisnae us’. Voters picked sides in a democratic referendum and it wasn’t ‘Britain’ voting to leave, but England and Wales; by a two-thirds majority, Scotland voted to remain. Northern Ireland voted remain more narrowly, only to be betrayed by Boris Johnson’s cavalier, mendacious promises. Keir Starmer wants deeper co-operation with the EU but the Tory hard Brexit he’s implementing allows only modest adjustments. Because Labour refuses to take the fastest route to mitigate Brexit by rejoining the customs union and the single market, Starmer’s timid tinkering won’t be enough. Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned in 2016 that Brexit would damage the economy, later reminding the public: “We said this was going to happen... the economy's capacity would go down because of Brexit and that would add to inflationary pressure.” UK inflation followed at higher rates than across the EU. Brexiteers wanted Carney fired, with Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg calling Carney the “enemy of Brexit... consistently wrong” about post-EU referendum economics. I’m not a university-trained economist but, in a choice between Rees-Mogg and Carney, I’d back Mr Carney. According to Believe in Scotland’s recent poll, so would 68 per cent of voters who think an independent Scotland should rejoin the EU. Another 2024 poll anticipated a clear win for yes if it were certain that Scotland would rejoin the EU. As flag-waving Brexiteers dragged us out of the EU nearly five years ago, the SNP’s Alyn Smith MEP memorably asked the European Parliament: “Leave a light on, so Scotland can find its way home.”

GENESIS REDEFINES LUXURYThe nation’s top climate negotiator and former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state offered rare and high praise for President-elect Donald Trump ’s unpredictability on the world stage. John Kerry, an artful though more traditional international negotiator, said that Trump’s famous style of coming on strong and sometimes threatening could initially be a winning tactic when facing down world bullies. TRUMP CABINET PICKS: WHO'S BEEN TAPPED TO SERVE IN THE PRESIDENT-ELECT'S ADMINISTRATION “He makes unpredictability a virtue, and it actually can be helpful,” Kerry said to snickers at a Thursday night event at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. “Don’t laugh,” he added, throwing his hands out to quiet the audience. “It could be helpful in a negotiation for them to worry about you and not know where you're coming from,” he said in answering a question about negotiating with Iran over its support for terrorism in the Middle East. Kerry explained that unpredictability is especially helpful when just beginning talks because it would give Trump and his team a chance to get the lay of the land before offering anything concrete. “When you're just starting out and you're trying to find your ground and you don't know exactly where you're going to be able to go, it's not a bad thing for them to worry about you a little bit and what you might do. You can't play that all the way through a negotiation, but it's a good place to begin,” he added. KEY DATES FOR THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION The IOP was honored to host John F. Kerry, former Special Presidential Envoy for Climate; 68th U.S. Secretary of State; and United States Senator (D-MA), for a wide-ranging conversation with IOP Director Setti Warren in the JFK Jr. Forum. Watch now: https://t.co/CU1xxaOmKf pic.twitter.com/s9gIVIz4ym — Institute of Politics (@HarvardIOP) Kerry, who left his post earlier this year but who still acts as a shadow diplomat for President Joe Biden, said that he believes Trump wants to cut a deal with Iran and other U.S. foes, including China. What’s more, he not only wished Trump well but said he hoped to turn out to be a better negotiator than Biden. SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS For example, he pointed to Biden’s talks this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Said Kerry, “I think President Trump will want to try to prove that he's a better negotiator. So more power to him. I hope he does.” He also wished Trump well in dealing with Tehran. “I believe there are some opportunities available to President-elect Trump to be able to open up some really important negotiations. And I hope he will do that. I hope he will.”
