00:00I saw the prime minister indicating that CNN was reporting fake news, but there's a perception.
00:07Once someone offers a criticism, it's either fake news or you need to attack them.
00:13I think the Ralph Gonzalez example is classic, where he's giving good advice based on sound principle
00:20as the most senior head of government within CARICOP, and he's attacked and denigrated
00:26and has people talking foolishness in the regional space.
00:30So it's now not controversial, it's not a matter for individual opinion or political opinion, it's black and white.
00:41What is happening, celebrated by Trinidad and Tobago under this government, is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
00:56Thank you very much.
