Podcasts about The Bahamas

What's been called the storm of the century - Hurricane Melissa – has barrelled through Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas over the past two days. Hannah Cloke, Professor of Hydrology at the University of Reading, explains whether Melissa was caused – or made worse - by human-made climate change. As the H5N1 bird flu season picks up across British farms, virologist Ian Brown from the Pirbright Institute assesses its threat and turns our attention to a largely ignored strain of bird flu – H9N2 – which a recent study suggests is becoming adapted to human cells. The interstellar comet 3I/Atlas has inspired some bizarre theories about alien life coming into our solar system. BBC science journalist Roland Pease, who has been watching these cosmic events and the pseudoscientific myths that follow in their wake for decades, gives us his take. And mathematician Katie Steckles brings us her favourite finds from the world of science.If you want to test your climate change knowledge, head to bbc.co.uk search for BBC Inside Science and follow the links to The Open University to take the quiz.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Ella Hubber, Jonathan Blackwell, Tim Dodd Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

This week, it's just John and Dayna holding down the fort while Shawn's away — and there's plenty to cover! They start with heartfelt updates on Hurricane Melissa's impact across Jamaica and the Bahamas, sharing what travelers need to know as airports reopen and relief efforts ramp up. Then, it's over to the Greek Isles, where Royal Caribbean just announced its new Royal Beach Club in Santorini — a sustainable seaside retreat blending local culture with that signature Royal vibe. From there, the duo dives into Norwegian Cruise Line's big change to its drink packages at Great Stirrup Cay (spoiler: your island cocktails aren't free anymore) — and why it might not be as bad as it sounds. Finally, John and Dayna explore a surprising shift in the travel landscape: Q4 2025 is packed with last-minute deals. With excess inventory across cruises, Disney vacations, and even Universal Orlando, flexibility might just be the secret to saving big this holiday season. Whether you're dreaming of the Mediterranean, monitoring storm recovery, or hunting for a spontaneous getaway, this “news-lite” episode delivers a quick pulse on what's happening in the travel world.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Public Service Fellow Ari Tabatabai and Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Great APEC-tations.” President Trump is headed to Asia this week, both for a meeting of the regional Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) organization and a one-on-one sit down with Chinese president Xi Jinping. It's a moment destined to spotlight one of the more quixotic areas of the second Trump administration's foreign policy, only complicated further by his (and China's) increasingly aggressive trade maneuvers, particularly around rare earth minerals. What should we expect this week? And what does it tell us about the Trump administration's Asia policy?“Pirates of the Caribbean.” The U.S. military build-up in the Caribbean has continued apace, even as the Trump administration has expanded its controversial military campaign against narcotics traffickers into the eastern Pacific. Even as both sets of actions have put pressure on the Maduro regime, they've also created rifts within Trump's coalition—where a few legislators have begun to join Democrats in demanding more answers from the Trump administration—and the executive branch, where tensions appear to have contributed to the early retirement of the military commander in charge of the operation. What constraints are there on how far the president can go in this space? And how far will he push them?“Too Calm After the Storm.” Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest on record, made landfall in Jamaica yesterday, and is now hovering over Cuba (in weakened form) on its way to the Bahamas. The devastation it is expected to have left in its wake would in the past have been the subject of an almost immediate U.S. assistance response—but it's not clear what will be forthcoming today or how effective it will be given the dismantling of U.S. foreign assistance agencies. How should we expect the Trump administration to respond? And what could the long term consequences be?In object lessons, Tyler is sampling Baauer's Sample Breakdowns on Instagram for the muses behind the music. Scott is musing about the various uses of his vacuum sealer, particularly for his garden bounty.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping have met for the first time since 2019 to discuss a possible truce in the US-China trade war. The leaders of the world's two biggest economies shook hands and spoke of friendship ahead of the "amazing" meeting in South Korea. President Trump said they agreed a cut in tariffs and a rare earth minerals deal. Also: the US says it will begin testing its nuclear weapons to keep up with Russia and China; Hurricane Melissa moves towards the Bahamas and Cuba after causing unprecedented devastation in Jamaica; Brazil's president condemns the police raid that killed more than 130 people in Rio de Janeiro; the long lost wolf spider is re-discovered in the UK; what drives those who want to live forever; and the art of presidential gift giving.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

During an interview on Fox Business on Thursday morning, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States and China could sign a trade agreement as soon as next week. He also said the United States would enact a one-year suspension of Entity List restrictions. China has agreed to purchase millions of metric tons of U.S. soybeans in the coming years, said Bessent.Hurricane Melissa churned across the Atlantic Ocean toward Bermuda on Thursday after thrashing Cuba's second-biggest city, unleashing devastation on Jamaica and drenching Haiti. According to the National Hurricane Center, Melissa weakened to a Category 1 storm as it moved northeast through the Bahamas on Thursday morning.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Hurricane Melissa has killed over two dozen people in the Caribbean.  That's according to multiple reports.  Melissa brought heavy winds and rain to The Bahamas overnight.  It caused devastating flooding to Cuba after slamming Jamaica on Tuesday.  Hurricane experts say Melissa is the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history.    Two --- About 17-hundred General Motors workers in Michigan and Ohio are now out of a job.  The automaker cited a slowdown in the electric vehicle market as the reason for the layoffs.  Detroit's electric vehicle plant saw around 12-hundred job cuts while 550 jobs at an Ohio battery cell plant were impacted.  Wednesday's layoffs follow the company's announcement last week that 200 salaried positions would be eliminated at its global tech campus in Detroit.    And number three ---    A new poll shows Andrew Cuomo gaining some ground on Zohran Mamdani in the race for New York City Mayor with less than a week to go until the election.  The latest Quinnipiac poll shows Zohran Mamdani leading by ten-percent in the race.  He holds 43 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for Cuomo, and 14 percent for Republican Curtis Sliwa. 

ShownotesThe primary focus of today's discussion revolves around the significant impacts of Hurricane Melissa as it navigates between the central Bahamas and Bermuda, specifically highlighting the consequential marine hazards and instances of minor coastal flooding along the Mid Atlantic and Northeast coastlines. We elucidate the various advisories issued by the National Weather Service, which indicate a marginal risk of severe weather, inclusive of damaging winds and the potential for isolated tornadoes. Additionally, we examine the coastal flood advisories that have been enacted across multiple states, notably affecting areas from Delaware to New York City, where localized road closures are anticipated during high tide. Furthermore, we provide insights into the expected wind and rain events in Maine, alongside the heightened water levels observed along the Chesapeake Bay and Tidal Potomac shorelines. Our aim is to keep our audience informed and prepared as we navigate these weather phenomena.Takeaways:* The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor Hurricane Melissa as it approaches the northeastern coast.* Coastal flooding and marine hazards are expected along parts of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast today.* Advisories from the National Weather Service indicate high tides may cause localized road closures.* Gusty winds and rain are anticipated in Maine as a strong low-pressure system moves in.* Coastal flood warnings remain in effect for various regions, including parts of Maryland and New York City.* Virginia continues to experience tidal flooding, particularly in the Chesapeake Bay area.Sources[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php][SPC Day 1 | https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS Baltimore/Washington coastal flooding | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory][USGS Latest Earthquakes | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS — New Castle DE advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=19730][NWS Gray AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=CI&glossary=1&highlight=off&issuedby=GYX&product=AFD&site=GYX&version=1][NWS Gray main page (hazards) | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (Anne Arundel) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ014&local_place1=Severn+MD&product1=Coastal+Flood+Advisory&warncounty=MDC003&warnzone=MDZ014][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (Calvert) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ018&lat=38.72&local_place1=2+Miles+WNW+North+Beach+MD&lon=-76.5658&product1=Coastal+Flood+Warning&warncounty=MDC009&warnzone=MDZ018][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Advisory summary | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][NWS New York — Coastal Flood Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NJZ006&local_place1=Jersey+City+NJ&product1=Heat+Advisory&warncounty=NJC017&warnzone=NJZ006][NYCEM Weather Alert (issued ~18 hours ago) | https://www.nyc.gov/site/em/about/press-releases/202510229_pr-NYCEM-Urges-NYers-to-prepare-For-Heavy-Rain.page][NWS New York — Coastal Flood Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NYZ212&lat=40.8031&local_place1=Harlem+NY&lon=-73.93&product1=Coastal+Flood+Statement&warncounty=NYC061&warnzone=NYZ072][NWS MHX Marine | https://www.weather.gov/mhx/marine][NWS Marine Forecast FZUS52 KMHX | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS52.KMHX.html][NWS Mount Holly briefing | https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf][SPC Day 1 Outlook | https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html][NWS LWX — Coastal Flood Warning (St. Mary's) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MDZ017&lat=38.1522&local_place1=Dameron+MD&lon=-76.3697&product1=Coastal+Flood+Warning&warncounty=MDC037&warnzone=MDZ017][NWS LWX — advisory summary | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=lwx&wwa=coastal+flood+advisory] This is a public episode.

President Donald Trump ended his historic Asia trip with a high-stakes meeting with Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping, calling the talks “a twelve out of ten.” Trump said the two sides struck major deals, cutting tariffs on Chinese goods, resuming U.S. soybean sales, and pledging action on fentanyl. In another development, the president ordered the Pentagon to restart nuclear weapons testing after a 30-year pause, citing rival nations' testing programs.The government shutdown has stretched into day 30, with tensions rising on Capitol Hill over funding for food aid. Lawmakers clashed as SNAP benefits are just days away from expiring. Republicans rejected Democrats' attempt to pass standalone funding, as Democrats demand continued support while health care talks stall.Hurricane Melissa has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm and is now passing over the Bahamas, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds to the islands. Although winds have decreased, officials say dangerous storm surges and rainfall remain a threat. Meanwhile, Jamaica is starting recovery and restoration efforts. At least 36 deaths have been reported across Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. According to initial projections from AccuWeather experts, total damages and economic losses could reach as high as $22 billion.

Hurricane Melissa has been called the “storm of the century”.It's one of the most powerful in Atlantic history, and has left a path of destruction in the Caribbean, hitting the Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica.So far, dozens of people have been confirmed dead.In Jamaica, it's estimated up to 90% of homes in the devastated town of Black River have been stripped of their roofs.Orlagh Kilbride lives in Kingston, the island's capital, with her family, and joins Andrea to discuss.Image: AP

Hurricane Melissa: Concrete Kingston Spared, St. Catherine's Suffers Utter Devastation Guest: Reverend Bill Develin Reverend Bill Develin reports from Kingston, Jamaica, describing Hurricane Melissa as an "unbelievable storm" that surpasses others he has experienced. The Category 5 hurricane features incredible winds reaching 185 mph and torrential rainfall, creating a "toxic mix and meteorological disaster." Develin, located in Kingston on a hill in a concrete home, did not need to evacuate and notes that Kingston has "definitely been spared," though power has been out in his neighborhood for approximately 12 hours and half of New Kingston's business district remains in darkness. In stark contrast, St. Catherine's Parish, approximately 120 miles to the west, has experienced "utter and complete devastation." This underserved, rural, and impoverished area is largely constructed of wood structures with zinc metal roofs, making homes highly vulnerable to the storm, comparable to the poorest parts of New Orleans during previous hurricanes. St. Catherine's Parish was on a mandatory evacuation list of 25 areas; fortunately, though the state public hospital's roof was ripped off, all patients and staff had been evacuated the day before the storm. The government of Jamaica, including Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the Office of Disaster Preparedness, performed exceptionally, establishing 880 safe shelters across the island and maintaining overall preparedness. The Ministry of Transportation hopes the airport will reopen within 48 hours to allow relief flights carrying humanitarian aid from organizations like Samaritan's Purse, the International Red Cross, and the European Union Humanitarian Relief Effort. Despite these efforts, devastation across western Jamaica from May Pen to Montego Bay—where 25,000 tourists shelter—will require massive cleanup efforts lasting at least a year, constituting a "double whammy" for communities still recovering from Hurricane Barrel, which struck over a year prior with similar force. Hurricane Melissa is expected to travel north through Montego Bay, then turn obliquely eastward toward Cuba, barrel into western Haiti, pass near the Bahamas and Bermuda, and eventually dissipate into the Mid-Atlantic Ocean.

The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the significant impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is progressing northeastward towards the Bahamas. We meticulously delineate the potential hazards arising from this weather event, notably the elevated risk of rip currents and rough surf along the southeastern coast of the United States, particularly Florida. Additionally, the episode elaborates on various weather alerts, including a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, as well as a potential severe weather risk in eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. We also address the imminent arrival of a moderate atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest, which is expected to bring substantial rainfall. Furthermore, we discuss FEMA's recent allocation of over $1 billion in federal funding to enhance safety measures in the host cities for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.Hurricane Melissa has emerged as a formidable force, having made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, with its trajectory now directing it towards the Bahamas. Although the United States currently has no active watches, the ramifications of Hurricane Melissa are being felt along the southeastern coast, particularly in Florida, where the risk of rip currents and rough surf is markedly elevated. The National Weather Service has issued warnings to coastal residents and beachgoers to exercise caution due to these dangerous conditions, emphasizing the importance of heeding safety advisories during such severe weather events.In addition to the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, extending into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This is attributed to the influx of rain that is expected to saturate these regions today. Concurrently, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a marginal severe weather risk for eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia, suggesting the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms later in the evening. The confluence of these weather patterns necessitates vigilant monitoring and preparedness among local residents.Furthermore, looking towards the Pacific Northwest, a moderate atmospheric river is anticipated to commence its influence on Friday and Saturday, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging a marginal flood risk for Western Washington.
