In Colorado, fireghters battled the CalWood and Lefthand Canyon fires in Boulder county over the weekend, bringing the latter to full containment within a day. Those blazes arose as responders continue to fight the Cameron Peak fire, the largest wildfire in state history,

Two new fires spark in Colorado

The fast-moving CalWood Fire in the foothills of Colorado's Rocky Mountains quickly grew to nearly 9,000 acres after sparking in Boulder county Saturday.

"This is actually the biggest wildfire in Boulder County history," Boulder County Sheriff's Office Division Chief Mike Wagner said during a press briefing Sunday. "As far as by acreage, and so it's the largest our community has ever seen."

The CalWood fire has destroyed at least 26 homes in an area that had been ordered to evacuate near the town of Jamestown Saturday and it's believed several other homes have likely burned, Wagner said.

"We don't believe that their list is complete," Wagner said of the destroyed structures. "There's likely more structures that we just could not get to within that burn area, and so damage assessment teams are going to come and go out again tomorrow attempt to locate additional structures and report those out as we can."

A list of homes that have been destroyed will be posted to the Boulder OEM website, Wagner said.

About 1,600 homes and 2,600 structures were included within the perimeter of the mandatory evacuation zone issued Saturday, with about 3,000 people affected by the evacuations.

About 250 firefighters were in the field working to establish a direct line around the perimeter of the CalWood fire Sunday, Wagner said.

"That's one of their number one things is try to keep the fire knocked down and protect structures that have not been impacted by the fire yet," the chief said. "They're gonna continue to construct a direct fire line which I spoke around the perimeter of the fire to secure it."

Air operations were planned for Sunday, but weather conditions have prevented aircrafts from flying, Wagner explained.

"The plan was to try to hit the fire really heavy with air resources this morning there were a number of aircraft on order with the conditions you see down here, and visibility aircraft can't fly," Wagner said.

Additional resources, including a federal firefighting team, were scheduled to arrive Sunday and take over command of the CalWood fire by Monday morning, Wagner said.

Two people who were unaccounted for Saturday were located Sunday and one firefighter suffered a minor ankle injury battling the CalWood fire, according to Wagner.

A joint investigation has been launched for the CalWood Fire by the Boulder Sheriff's office and the US Forest Service, Wagner said.

A second fire -- the Lefthand Canyon fire erupted Sunday near the town of Ward, about 15 miles southwest of Jamestown, Boulder OEM said in a tweet. Nearly 150 homes were ordered to evacuate because of the blaze.

The European Union has said that a peace agreement signed last year in Mozambique cannot be renegotiated.

In recent months, calls have grown to revisit the deal signed in August of 2019 between the government and the Renamo rebel group.

In the agreement, Renamo agreed to renounce rebellion but a splinter group has been staging attacks in central Mozambique.

“The peace agreement cannot be opened or renegotiated. (...) The message is to take advantage of this agreement, these opportunities, this process. There is a window that is still open, but it may be closed in a while. Personally I am quite optimistic,” said António Sanchez-Benedito, the European Union ambassador to Maputo. 

“But at the same time, we have to recognize that there are still obstacles, that there are still challenges. I think that all Mozambicans have the conviction and above all the desire for this to be the definitive agreement,” he added.

Renamo leader Ossufo Momade lost last October's vote to incumbent president Felipe Nyusi. The ruling FRELIMO party was accused of using violence to win the election.

The EU is one of the guarantors of the deal and has committed millions of dollars to support its implementation.

Mozambique , which is preparing to become the newest gas producer is also dealing with a militant insurgency which has driven hundreds from their homes in its north.

FINANCE Minister Colm Imbert remains optimistic that the economy will be fully reopened in 2022. He expressed this optimism when he opened the budget debate in the Senate on Monday. The House of Representatives passed the budget on October 15 with all 22 Government MPs voting for it while all 19 Opposition MPs abstained.

Imbert said, "This budget is in the context of a full reopening of the economy in the year 2022."

He added this is "dependent on the success of our vaccination programme."

Imbert said, based on regular updates from Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh, he observed that within the last two days "we crossed the threshhold of 40 per cent of the our population being fully vaccinated."

While children under 12 years are currently unable to be vaccinated with a World Health Organization (WHO)-approved vaccine, Imbert said when this is factored into the number of fully vaccnated in Trinidad and Tobago, it means "the actual numbers of persons...the actual percentages of persons between the ages of 12 upwards, is significantly more than 40 per cent."

Imbert reminded senators that when he presented the budget in the House on October 4, he said one million doses of WHO-approved vaccines had been administered to people in TT at that time. "The number continues to increase on a regular basis and it is significantly more than one milllion at this time."

Imbert said the 609,136 people have been partially vaccinated and 564,703 fully vaccinated, as of October 15. He added that TT is ahead of a lot of countries in its efforts to vaccinate as much of its population against covid19 that it could.

Reiterating that covid19 vaccination will continue into next year, Imbert said, "We have more than enough vaccines to do that. We still have approximately 800,000 doses of approved WHO vaccines in stock." He added, "We also have access to a significant additional number of covid19 WHO-approved vaccines if such is required."

Imbert said those included Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccines. 'Over 600,000 of those are still available to us."

He also said covid19 vaccines are available through donations from countries such as the United States.

Imbert said the issue now is vaccine hesitancy.

'But I have observed that, since the US announced that it will accept all WHO-approved vaccines as an essential prerequisite for travelling to the US, there has certainly been an uptick in vaccination and one hopes that this will continue."

He welcomed TT's removal from the United Kingdom's covid19 red list of countries. Imbert said recent comments from UK High Commissioner to TT Harriet Cross suggest the possiblility of additional covid19 relaxations over time.

Imbert identified the covid19 safe-zone initiative launched on October 11 and assistance in the budget for small and medium enterprises affected by the pandemic, as some of the strategies being employed towards a full reopening of the economy.

Imbert reiterated efficient tax collection with the help of the new TT Revenue Authority, $500 m
