OUR NEWS — Friday, December 5th, 2025 | Tonight, get the details on major labor reform coming to the Bahamas as the government moves to draft a brand new Employment Act and Industrial Relations Act, which will introduce mental health leave and paternity leave at a national level. We also report on a major prison bail scam after two accused violent offenders were charged with running a fake official operation using illegally obtained cell phones to try and secure their release. Plus, a cruise passenger faces a large fine or prison time after security found a gun and ammunition in her bag at Nassau Cruiseport. We cover the latest developments in tourism, including the highest-ever Canadian airlift for the winter season, and look ahead to the new 350-room resort planned for the former Melia site by Baha Mar.
