AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

LIRR Strike Ends, Service Returns: After a three-and-a-half-day shutdown, the Long Island Rail Road is back in phases from noon Tuesday, with hourly service on key branches and shuttle buses bridging the gap—an abrupt reminder of how fast commuting life can unravel when talks drag. Ebola Alarm: The WHO is warning that a deadly Ebola outbreak in DR Congo is spreading with “scale and speed,” with 131 deaths estimated and hundreds of suspected cases as aid and experts rush in. Hurricane Melissa Accountability: Jamaica’s opposition is again pressing for a full accounting of donated hurricane goods and sharply criticising slow spending and uncollected items at ports and warehouses. Local Business & Jobs: Ecotact is bringing advanced agro-packaging to Jamaica to help farmers meet international standards, while IMAJ urges government action to fix the cement shortage. Culture & Connectivity: Popcaan lands on Drake’s new album, and Jamaica’s tourism push highlights new airline routes and a major air connectivity summit. Sports Pipeline: CPL and UWI open applications for the 2026 internship programme.
