The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is increasingly having to respond to fatal shootings
The Caribbean islands battling the region's 'highest murder rate'
TURKS AND CAICOS — Jacques Phanor used to sleep with his windows open.Until just a few years ago, the Turks and Caicos Islands were known predominantly as a luxury Caribbean tourist destination.The startling beauty of the archipelago has regularly earned it "world's best beach" titles, and thrust it onto the bucket lists of the globe's most affluent travellers.But alarming levels of violent crime have rocked the once sleepy British Overseas Territory, earning it accolades it welcomes far less.Last year it recorded 48 homicides, which, given its population is less than 50,000, gave it the worst murder rate per capita in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to one study.This year the territory had already recorded 24 killings up to mid-August, heightened by the...

Greta Thunberg's boat will pause in Tunisia for two days before setting sail for Gaza
Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla arrives in Tunisia
TUNIS — Huge crowds gathered at Tunisia's port on Sunday to welcome Greta Thunberg as her aid flotilla, bound for Gaza, docked at the port.The Swedish climate activist is travelling with 350 pro-Palestinian activists on boats stocked with aid that they are hoping to deliver to Palestinians in Gaza.Pictures from the Sidi Bou Said port show hordes of people surrounding the 22-year-old as she addressed the crowd. "We all know why were are here," she said. "Just across the water there's a genocide going on, a mass starvation by Israel's murder machine."Israel has repeatedly denied that there is starvation in Gaza and has blamed any hunger on Hamas and aid agency failures.Last month a UN-backed body confirmed that there was famine in the territory and the...

Anjali has painstakingly gathered data to track her money trail
Duped of millions in 'digital arrest', Indian woman seeks answers from banks
MUMBAI - The nightmare began with a phone call that would cost Anjali (not her real name) 58.5m rupees ($663,390).The caller claimed to be from a courier company, alleging that Mumbai customs had seized a drug parcel she was sending to Beijing.Anjali, a resident of Gurugram, a suburb of Indian capital Delhi, fell prey to a "digital arrest" scam — fraudsters posing as law enforcement officials on video calls and threatening her with life in prison and harm to her son unless she obeyed.Over five harrowing days last September, they kept her under 24/7 surveillance on Skype, terrified her with threats, and coerced her into liquidating her savings and transferring the money."After that, my brain stopped working. My mind shut down," she says.By the time the calls stopped,...
