A dedicated police team is tackling bomb threats following school evacuations. Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander is urging parents to remain calm while police respond. His remarks do not confirm that every affected location has been cleared.

Government wants TSTT to move further into technology and data hosting. Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath says new markets and partnerships are being considered. These are plans, not confirmed contracts.

In Tunapuna, young people have completed barbering and first aid training. The programme aims to support self-employment, with graduates encouraged to build businesses and continue learning.

Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean are mourning the Mighty Sparrow. CARICOM confirmed Slinger Francisco died on Sunday. A family statement says he was ninety-one. His music carried calypso’s voice across the world.

Internationally, oil rose more than two per cent in early Monday trading. The United States and Iran have yet to reach a settlement. Further talks are expected this week.

Sport. Another defeat for the Soca Warriors. The Dominican Republic came from behind to win two-one at Hasely Crawford Stadium last night. Trinidad and Tobago remain without a point after two Nations League matches.

Those are your WACK headlines. I’m Jason Mcallister.
