00:00 The violence in school.

00:02 It is alarming, not only in Trinidad,

00:05 but it is becoming alarming in Tobago.

00:07 And now what we are seeing,

00:09 the girls are fighting worse than the boys,

00:10 if you have seen the video.

00:12 It's terrible.

00:13 We have to speak out.

00:14 We have to condemn it.

00:16 And we must not condone it,

00:18 because it is getting worse.

00:19 Because when it starts in the school,

00:21 and it starts from the home,

00:22 this is where you go out in the society,

00:25 and when they get older and older,

00:27 you have the creation of the gangs,

00:29 and the violence, it starts there.

00:31 Mr. Ali is also calling for a stop

00:34 to the desecration of Hindu temples.

00:37 Coming from Tobago, from a Tobago faith-based council,

00:40 and all of us, we would like to condemn

00:43 the desecration of Hindu temples in Trinidad.

00:46 This is ongoing over and over and over,

00:52 and we have to learn to respect

00:54 each other's belief and religion.

00:56 So from our perspective, we condemn it.

00:59 He also called for the preservation

01:01 of the animal population.

01:03 If any time you pass through Golden Grove Road,

01:05 you will see about five dogs that has been loosed

01:06 there about a month ago, that has been discarded.

01:10 And animals are God's creation.

01:12 And a lot of times we see people,

01:14 they poison animals, they treat them in the worst way.

01:18 And it is important that we speak out about,

01:21 because I've seen it all the time,

01:23 because they can't speak, so we have to speak for them.
