U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to put a one-month pause on imposing tariffs on the auto sector after discussions with the “big three” automakers.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the latest development today, and Trump is “open” to hearing about other tariff exemptions.

“We are going to give a one month exemption on any autos coming through USMCA,” Leavitt announced, “reciprocal tariffs will still go ahead on April 2nd, but at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, the President is giving them an exemption for one-month so they are not at an economic disadvantage.”

Meanwhile, the White House says it will continue to “stand up” to countries who have been “ripping off” the United States even while reiterating that the tariffs imposed on Canada are based on the fact that this country isn’t doing enough to stem the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

Last year, just 43 pounds of fentanyl was stopped by U.S. officials heading into the United States from Canada. Leavitt responded to questions from reporters following discussions between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today.

Leavitt reiterated that families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl “are grateful to finally have a president who is standing up to both Canada and Mexico and most importantly to China as well.”

Opposition Leader Tony Wakeham has written the federal Transport Minister Anita Anand, calling for immediate relief from high Marine Atlantic ferry rates.

Wakeham says the cost of goods in Newfoundland and Labrador are directly affected by ferry fees that are imposed federally.

Ferry service linking Nova Scotia to Newfoundland is guaranteed in the Terms of Union, and costs are supposed to be equivalent to that of a road link.

Wakeham has asked Anand that the pricing terms by which Marine Atlantic currently operates be replaced with terms that “no longer impost costs on ferry users that are higher than the costs of traveling an equivalent stretch of the Trans-Canada.”

Wakeham raised the matter with Trousim Minister Steve Crocker in the House of Assembly.

“Will the Liberals join me in calling on their federal cousins to take action?” Wakeham asked. Minister Crocker admits, it’s an important issue, and he’s sat down “on multiple occasions” with the federal minister of transportation and the federal tourism minister to discuss access challenges involving Marine Atlantic. “100 Per cent, we have reached out to the federal minister of transportation, this is extremely, extremely important to Newfoundland and Labrador.”

While the deadline for nominations is still nearly three weeks away, those in charge of the process to find a successor for Premier Andrew Furey are confident that a contested race will take place during a leadership convention in May.

Gerry Byrne has ruled himself out of the Liberal leadership picture.

Byrne had been rumoured as considering running in the race, but until this morning had declined comment on the matter.

Byrne doesn’t think he has “ever been more ready and more prepared” to take on the role of premier, but cites his role as fisheries minister and the turbulent times facing the industry due to US tariffs as his main reason for not taking it on.

Byrne states that he would have to step down as fisheries minister if he decided to run, and he “cannot do that in good conscience.” He says if Furey had decided to step down three months ago, or three months from now he probably would be in the leadership race, “but it’s not today.”

John Abbott is the only person to officially announce their leadership bid thus far. Some others, such as John Hogan and Bernard Davis are considering.

Deer Lake RCMP are investigating a fatal snowmobile incident on the west coast yesterday.

Police were notified around 1:45 Tuesday afternoon after a rider ran into trouble.

A group of snowmobilers were riding together in a remote area near Angus Lake when one of the riders ended up in a brook, trapped underneath his machine.

His friends managed to pull him out of the water, and despite performing “countless rounds of CPR,” they were unable to revive him.

The 55-year-old man was removed from the area by helicopter and pronounced dead while being transported to hospital in Corner Brook.

The Chief Medical Examiners office is involved in the investigation.

The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce says now is the time for governments to act and follow the lead of Nova Scotia.

Rhonda Tulk-Lane, the CEO of the Atlantic Chamber, has just returned from a meeting with her counterparts across the country, as well as the premiers.

Nova Scotia has passed legislation which recognizes the jurisdiction in other provinces provided that province recognizes and accepts Nova Scotia’s jurisdiction.

They submitted a formal proposal to the premiers calling for discussions to begin on ending inter-provincial trade barriers.

“We need to get this started so that we can send a big message to our neighbours to the south,” she told Your VOCM Mornings with host Russell Bowers.

Tulk-Lane says there are inconsistencies which can be straightened out immediately.

She says there are inconsistencies in regulations governing the operation of lights on transport trucks among Atlantic provinces, and the required duration of a course on fall protection for workers.

Memorial University professor Russell Williams says Republicans might not have the appetite to endure U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Deer Lake RCMP are investigating a fatal snowmobile incident on Tuesday that claimed the life of a 55-year-old man.

Police were called around 1:45 p.m. A group of snowmobilers were traveling together in a remote area near Angus Lake. One of the riders ended up in a brook, trapped underneath his snowmobile. Friends removed the man, who was unresponsive, from the water an then administered countless rounds of CPR. Efforts to revive the man were unsuccessful.

Deer Lake Search and Rescue was engaged, along with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC).  The man’s body was removed from the area by JRCC and taken to Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook. The man was pronounced dead during transport to the hospital by a medical professional onboard the aircraft.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is engaged and the investigation is continuing.

RCMP NL recently arrested five drivers, three on March 1 and two others on March 2, 2025, in various areas of the province for impaired driving offences.

At approximately 4:45 a.m. on March 1, Burin Peninsula RCMP conducted a traffic stop with a vehicle that was parked on the Creston Causeway in Marystown. The driver, a 28-year-old man, showed signs of alcohol impairment and was arrested for impaired operation. Back at the detachment, the man provided further breath samples that were nearly twice the legal limit.

Later in that morning, at approximately 7:15 a.m., Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP received a report of a vehicle off the road in a residential area of the town.  Police attended the scene and checked on the driver, a 44-year-old, man who was seated in the driver’s seat of the idling vehicle. The man showed signs of alcohol impairment and failed a roadside breath test. He was arrested for impaired operation and, back at the detachment, provided breath samples that were above the legal limit.

Later that afternoon, at approximately 1:45 p.m., Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP were called to a residential disturbance in Buchans. While officers were responding, information received stated that one of the individuals involved in the disturbance departed the residence in a vehicle while impaired.  Officers located the 45-year-old man a short time later at another residence. He showed signs of impairment and was arrested.  At the detachment, the man provided breath samples that were more than twice the legal limit.

At approximately 3:00 p.m. on March 2, Harbour Grace RCMP stopped a vehicle traveling in front of the detachment after the driver passed a vehicle on a solid line. The driver, a 74-year-old man, showed signs of alcohol impairment and had open alcohol in the vehicle. Police administered a roadside breath test and the driver failed to provide a breath sample. He was arrested for refusal of a breath demand.

Later that same evening, at approximately 8:45 p.m., Gander RCMP received a report of a suspected impaired driver on the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Gander. The vehicle was reportedly stopped on the highway without any headlights or tail lights activated. Police located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The driver, a 65-year-old man, showed signs of impairment consistent with alcohol and drugs.  He was arrested, was provided a demand for a blood sample and was transported to James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre in Gander. Officers await the results of the testing to determine if charges of impaired operation are appropriate.

Each driver was released from custody with a future court date to face charges, a licence suspension and a vehicle impound and seizure, where appropriate.

A lot of how the fishing industry adapts to 25 per cent tariffs from the United States will come down to the price-setting mechanism established by the Association of Seafood Producers and the FFAW.

That’s according to fisheries minister Gerry Byrne, who was specifically talking about the snow crab industry.

Byrne says he won’t be commenting on any price-setting mechanism, as that is something that needs to be hammered out between the parties.

However, he has “no doubt” that even with tariffs in place product will be sold in the US market.

Byrne says the question will be how elastic, or inelastic, the price is going to be within the US marketplace.

PC fisheries critic says he hasn’t heard anything from Byrne to alleviate the concerns of fish harvesters.

He believes that, for this season, they need to look at who is going to take on the risk associated with it.

“Who is going to take the risk?” asks Pardy. He wonders if government will take on a share of the risk, will the processors take on the risk, and will harvesters be assured that there is a market for the product the catch.

The administration at Carbonear Collegiate is offering some clarity on new washroom policies that have created frustration and confusion among some students and parents.

The administration sent a note to families of students in the school to clarify the situation, reiterating that the safety and well being of students is their top priority.

The memo says due to inappropriate activities in the schools washrooms, the school has made some recent changes.

The administration says past instances of bullying, vaping, vandalism and other inappropriate behaviours have occurred and appropriate supervision has been put in place in the hallways surrounding washrooms.

In the message the school says if a staff member feels there is a need to enter the washroom, it is done in a manner which is respectful of the privacy and dignity of students.

The Consumer Advocate is attributing higher power bills of late to the weather, assuring that it has nothing to do with rates – but the weather.

Many people have seen a sharp rise in their bills, but advocate Dennis Browne says rates have been stable since the seven per cent increase in August.

Browne says his bill spiked as well, but not because of additional usage.

He notes that the month of January wasn’t particularly snow or windy but February was, so bills were generally lower.

Newfoundland Power has posted an explanatory piece on the website, noting that billing cycles can fluctuate between 28-33 days.

St. John’s city councilor Debbie Hanlon has passed away.

Her family announced via social media that she passed away on Tuesday at the Health Sciences after a long battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Hanlon was born in Chance Cove, and moved to St. John’s at the age of 12.

A lifelong entrepreneur, Hanlon had her hands in many areas over the years, most recently as a successful real estate agent.

She was also a published children’s author, and a three time top 50 Atlantic Canadian CEO as named by Atlantic Business Magazine.

Hanlon made the move to municipal politics in 2008 when she was elected as Ward 4 Councillor in a by-election, and served on city council until 2013.

Hanlon returned to political life in 2017, this time as councilor at large.

She took a leave of absence from that position, and her real estate business, in February 2024 to fight her battle with cancer.

In a statement, Hanlon’s family says she appreciated every message of support during her journey.

They say that she loved her friends and family, her community and city, her positions as a councilor and realtor, and ultimately she “truly loved her love.”

Details about a celebration of life will be announced in the near future.

Meanwhile, Flags are flying at half-mast at city hall as council and city workers in St. John’s remember Hanlon.

In a statement on her passing, the city says Hanlon’s “energy, passion and larger-than-life spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.”

Calling her a “force of nature” the city says even while battling cancer, Hanlon remained steadfast in her commitment to the city.

They praised Hanlon not only for her dedicated and energetic role on council, but for her work in the community. Hanlon also served as a dedicated mentor and passional supporter of women in business.

The city says Debbie Hanlon will be remembered “not only for her remarkable achievements, but for the kindness, strength, and joy she shared with the world.”

The well-known St. John's realtor and municipal leader Debbie Hanlon has died, the city councillors said Wednesday.

A 13-year-old child is facing weapons charges after an unusual incident at Villa Nova in CBS last week.

RNC were called by the school last Friday.

Reports indicate that the weapon involved was a set of brass knuckles.

The child was arrested and charged with possession for a dangerous purpose and possession of a prohibited weapon.

A 27-year-old woman was subsequently charged with unlawfully transferring a weapon as a result of the investigation.

The child has since been released to appear at a later date.

The effect of Trump’s punishing tariffs on Canadian products reverberated through the Prospectors and Developers of Canada Conference and Trade Show in Toronto this week.

Premier Andrew Furey was in attendance and says there is no doubt, the trade war is going to have an impact on the mining sector.

That’s why, says Furey, it’s so important to build on existing relationships between the provinces.

“It is more important ever before that the Canadian relationships we have are developed, they’re strong and they create the most certain environment in an uncertain ecosystem.”

While damaged now, Furey believes the strong relationship Canada has with the U.S. will survive a single president or administration, however the tariffs will have repercussions throughout the mining industry.

“How that plays out depends on how the global marketplace responds.” He says nickel will likely see a direct impact. “One third of the nickel from Canada I believe comes from Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s processed here and then shipped down to the United States for manufacturing purposes. The United States…I believe has one smelter and one existing nickel mine.”

A professor in Memorial University’s Faculty of Business says Donald Trump’s decision to impose punishing tariffs on his Canadian and Mexican trade partners essentially means any existing trade agreements have been ripped up.

Premier Andrew Furey has called Trump’s action “unlawful” and “illegal.”

Tom Cooper, a professor of strategic management at the Faculty of Business at MUN, says Trump’s executive power allows him to supercede any existing agreements.

Cooper says Trump, like U.S. presidents before him, has the power to “unilaterally decide to do this.” Cooper says “we can take this to dispute resolution and all that, but Trump can say ‘look I don’t care, I’m the President, I’ll do what I want,’ and that’s the danger right now. So these agreements, which Trump negotiated himself back in his first administration, are just being thrown out the window.”

Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology Andrew Parsons has announced that the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology will provide funding totalling $340,232 from the Business Growth Program for six small and medium-sized enterprises looking to increase and improve marketing.

The six companies and organizations receiving funding are 7 Fathoms Skin Care, Beaulieus Caribou Hunts, Big Land Fishing Lodge and Tours, GFI Composites, Rob Clark Motorsports, and Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador. 

The Department of Industry, Energy and Technology provides assistance to help provincial businesses with marketing.

The leader of the Progressive Conservatives is defending his party’s line of questioning after they did not ask any questions about tariffs during Question Period yesterday.

The Trump administration’s 25 per cent tariffs came into effect first thing yesterday, making the Canadian response a focal point of many conversations throughout the day.

However, the issue was not brought up in the provincial legislature until NDP MHA Jordan Brown asked about it after 25 minutes of Tory questions.

That is something that surprised both Finance Minister Siobhan Coady, and Jordan Brown.

“This is unprecedented, this is a very difficult time for a lot of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians…It was very surreal to know that the (Progressive) Conservatives, a party that’s supposedly for business, never mentioned it once in the House of Assembly… It just blows me away to think that this is where we’re to.”

PC Leader Tony Wakeham defends his party’s approach, noting that they put out a statement on the fishery and the impacts of tariffs on that industry “first thing” yesterday morning.

“What we’ve done in the legislature is continue to focus on issues…we deliberately did that this morning, to issue that statement, so that we would have an opportunity to speak to it, because it is an important issue.”

Wakeham argues that they are asking questions; they just decided to issue the statement so they could get out on top of it.

Students and parents at Carbonear Collegiate are planning a demonstration today to protest what they call an invasion of privacy by some staff at the high school.

Students allege that teachers have been looking through bathroom stalls while the stalls are occupied, and some students have been subjected to searches of their bags.

In a letter obtained by NTV News, the principal of the school clarified the issue of the school’s washroom policies.

The letter states in part, “there have been past instances of bullying, vaping, vandalism, and other forms of inappropriate behaviours that have occurred in our washrooms.”

The letter adds that if a staff member feels there is a need to enter the washroom, it’s done in a respectful manner.

The RNC were called to a business in downtown St. John’s on Wednesday morning to a report of an assault at a business in downtown St. John’s.

Officers investigated and arrested a 65-year-old man was arrested for assaulting a security guard.

The man was taken to the holding cells and held to appear before a judge.

An associate professor at Carleton University’s Sprott’s School of Business is echoing the same shock and disbelief expressed by others over the reasoning behind Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian products.

Ian Lee told The Tim Powers Show on VOCM that Americans will start feeling the impact.

“What he’s doing is so destructive economically, and this has been studied to death by economists since Adam Smith. Nobel Prizes have been given out on this showing the advantages of free trade. The Bretton Woods post-war architecture of 1945 was set up and it created GATT, which became the WTO because we knew that freer trade, liberalized trade led to increases in the standard of living. So this is just purely negative, and destructive.”

The Brad Gushue Rink continues to run the table at the Brier in Kelowna, but one of his toughest tests comes early this afternoon.

Team Canada defeated New Brunswick 8-3 last night to go 5-0.

However, the defending champs are up against Kevin Koe of Alberta in the first draw today, 1 pm Newfoundland time.

Finance Minister Siobhan Coady says government is putting $200-million into contingency as part of interim supply to address issues related to United States tariffs.

Interim supply is a mechanism that allows government to continue spending money into their new fiscal year until they have a budget. That process is currently making its way through the House of Assembly.

Coady says government will wait and see how the next few days unfold, but she gave a few examples as to what that money could be spent on.

She says they may have to help out in the fishery, or help out businesses that are now facing inventory challenges.

On Thursday the City of Mount Pearl and the Town of Conception Bay South will make a major hockey announcement.

The announcement will take place at the Glacier Arena Hospitality Suite in Mount Pearl at 11:30 a.m.

Mount Pearl Mayor Dave Aker, CBS Mayor Darrin Bent, and Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation Minister Steve Crocker will be joined by representatives from Destination St. John’s, Sport Tourism Event Partnership, Hockey Canada, Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Host Committee.

The upcoming national sporting event is expected to have a significant impact on the province.

One of the victims of Bruce Escott’s crimes says the convicted sex-offender’s actions have had a long and lasting impact on his life.

The victim spoke with reporters after 82-year-old Escott was sentenced to 13 years in prison, less time served, after pleading guilty to seven charges, including sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation against six teenage males who were 18 or younger.

The man believes justice was not served given the enormity of Escott’s crimes and the impact they’ve had on his life.

“Most of my life, I’ve been suicidal,” says the victim who was present during yesterday’s sentencing, “I went into drugs, you know I was in and out of jail…it caused a nice bit of harm, my whole life.”

Escott’s co-accused, Tony Humby, has elected to go to trial. He’s facing 85 sexual violence charges. Humby’s trial has been set over until March 18th.

The provincial government has provided an update on two separate land transactions.

A total of 64.764 acres was acquired from H3 Development for $23,274,700 million, including 10 acres of donated land, for the new acute care hospital campus slated for Kenmount Crossing in St. John’s.

An appraisal of the 10 acres of donated land was determined to have a market value of $450,000 per acre, a value that applies to the remaining 54.764 acres as well. Government purchased the remaining 54 acres for $425,000 per acre.

Kenmount Crossing was determined to be the best site for the new facility, given it is the convergence of three of the largest municipalities.

An appraisal of the land off Snow’s Lane was commissioned by the department in 2018 and determined a market value of $160,000. An adjustment of two per cent per year for the passage of time is typically applied, making the current land value approximately $176,000. The Purchase and Sale Agreement for $176,000 has been finalized, with the land transaction scheduled to close in May.

The property is deemed landlocked with no access point from Snow’s Lane, Logy Bay Road or the Outer Ring Road. An access intersection for the property from the Outer Ring Road cannot be approved as per Transportation Association of Canada guidelines and Transportation and Infrastructure’s Highway Access Policy.

In an extraordinary news conference held yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted bluntly to the Trump administration’s decision to trigger a trade war with one of its closest allies.

Pulling no punches, Trudeau told reporters yesterday that he doesn’t believe the tariffs are in response to U.S. concerns over Canadian border security and stemming the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. from Canada, but about what appears to be an expansionist agenda.

“These tariffs are not specifically about fentanyl, even though that is the legal justification he must use to actually move forward with these tariffs,” says Trudeau.

Premier Andrew Furey agrees. He tells VOCM News that it’s his belief that the tariffs are about destabilizing the Canadian economy.

“These instruments are being used to create economic uncertainty that will ultimately lead, in his mind, to a weakened Canada and to a position where there is potential expansion into the ’51st state,'” says Furey. “I think most listeners when we talk about dilution of sovereignty or attacks on countries they think of military agendas. Truth be told, most countries lose, or relinquish their sovereignty, because of economic circumstances and people of Newfoundland and Labrador know that more than anyone else in the world.”

Meanwhile, Trudeau says Canadians are hurt and angry.

In recent weeks it’s become commonplace for Canadians to boo the U.S. national anthem at hockey games and other sporting events.

Trudeau says those actions are understandable given how Canadians have been treated since the Trump administration returned to office.

” Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry,” Trudeau told reporters yesterday. “We’re going to choose not to go on vacation in Florida, Old Orchard Beach, or wherever. We’re going to choose to try to buy Canadian products and forego bourbon and other classic American products. And yeah, we’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem, but let me tell Americans, we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players. We’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.”

Research in Newfoundland led to a treatment that keeps Chad Pelley's heart from stopping, but the genetic variant he carries still poses a threat. The next step is finding a treatment that gets to the root of the problem caused by the genetic variant and erases the risk of heart disease caused by it.

Newfoundland Power customers are reeling after opening their February power bills, which in some cases have nearly doubled.

It's been over a year since the Newfoundland and Labrador government announced it would be leasing a hotel in St. John's as a new transitional housing facility. The facility — Horizons at 106 — had 73 residents as of Feb. 24 and successfully put 14 people into permanent housing so far.

John Abbott is the first person out of the gate to announce that he will be running in the Liberal leadership.

Abbott revealed his plans at Confederation Building yesterday, adding that he has resigned from his cabinet role as minister of housing and mental health and addictions.

This isn’t the first time Abbott has sought the party’s top job. He was defeated in the 2020 race by Andrew Furey.

Abbott says he has spoken with his colleagues and believes he does have the necessary support to carry him through.

If elected, Abbott says his number one priority will be tackling US tariffs.

He says there are questions around impacts on the crab fishery, minerals and lumber that need to be tackled, and they need to look at procurement legislation to ensure they are pulling out “all the stops” to maximize the abilities of local suppliers.

He says he will be strengthening the Team NL approach that Premier Furey has already established, as well as becoming a stronger voice in Ottawa.

No other candidates have formally come forward as of yet, though several have said they are considering it.

A man will appear in court today after an incident downtown St. John’s yesterday morning.

A security guard was assaulted by a 65-year-old man at about 11:00.

The accused spent the night at the lockup.

The last 24 hours have been busy ones at NLC outlets across the province as staff, once again, remove American products from their shelves and box them up.

That includes iconic brands like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam, and a range of California wines.

Newfoundland Liquor Commission CEO Bruce Keating says while the products represent a smaller percentage of their overall sales, it’s not insignificant.

He says American products make up about 8 to 9 per cent of their overall sales – or roughly $26 million a year. “It’s not 30 or 40 per cent, you know, it’s a smaller percentage, but still, not insignificant.”

Canada and Mexico imposed retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. in response to tariffs on their imports. President Trump has cited drug trafficking concerns as justification for the tariffs, which tanked U.S. markets yesterday, while Canada emphasized its efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking. China also introduced retaliatory tariffs. (UPI)

The impact of the tariffs is already being felt in this province, especially in the fishing industry. 

As NTV’s Beth Penney tells us, the fisheries minister said it’s the biggest challenge faced, in more than three decades. 

At the House of Assembly, Finance Minister Siobhan Coady announced the province is putting away $200 million dollars to help combat whatever effects tariffs could have on the province. 

NTV’s Legislative Reporter Ben Cleary reports.

A St. John’s man who was once a respected fire captain and trusted taxi driver has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexually abusing teenaged boys for almost three decades.

But one of his victims says that’s not nearly enough time for the harm he’s caused.

NTV’s Rosie Mullaley reports.

There’s a big hockey game in Grand Falls-Windsor, where the community is coming together to support a local woman in urgent need of a double lung transplant. NTV’s Colleen Lewis reports.

Brad Gushue’s Team Canada remain atop the standings at the Brier in British Columbia, recording their fourth straight win last night.

Despite a roster change and several losses heading into the brier, the defending champions are leading the field.

Here’s NTV’s Mark Dwyer. 

The tariffs will impact our country in more ways than one, from infrastructure, manufacturing, and jobs within those industries.

The ripple effect will start to domino very quickly after today. As NTV’s Becky Daley tells us this province is already facing it’s own challenges, now this to add to that list. 

Hundreds of folks across the province filled up on pancakes today, while community groups filled up on donations. In St. John’s and Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Pancake Day breakfasts raised big bucks to help people who need housing.

Canadians have taken Donald Trump’s threats of trade action — now realized — very personally. Understandably and justifiably so. But the American president’s treatment of Ukraine — not to mention his administration’s larger withholding of foreign aid — demonstrates that Canada is far from alone.
