The House of Representatives did not debate the opposition's water-supply motion on October second. TTT reports that the Speaker ruled it had not been moved before the allotted time expired. Parliament confirms no debate took place. The House returns on October seventh.

The United Arab Emirates has committed a grant for critical equipment at the Couva Children's Hospital, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Sean Sobers. He also announced plans for Trinidad and Tobago's first embassy in the Middle East. No grant amount or delivery date was specified in the report.

Caribbean Airlines is set to begin weekly non-stop flights between Tobago and Toronto on October twenty-fifth. Transport Minister Eli Zakour says Trinidad-to-Caracas flights will resume on October thirty-first, with seasonal Trinidad-to-Panama charters starting December first.

In regional news, Buckingham Palace says King Charles will address Britain's slavery legacy during his forthcoming Caribbean tour, but will not offer a formal apology. The visit includes the Bahamas, Guyana, and Antigua and Barbuda, amid continuing calls for reparations.

In international news, G-seven countries have agreed to release one hundred million barrels of oil and fuel reserves over four months. Substantial diesel releases are planned within twenty days to ease supply pressure. Reuters says it remains unclear how much overlaps with an earlier commitment.

In sport, Trinidad and Tobago host Curaçao at six P.M. on October fourth at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. The Soca Warriors lost one-nil in Willemstad on October first, their third straight Nations League defeat.

Those are your WACK headlines.
