Abstract

In Haiti, the military government of General Prosper Avril unleashes a campaign of terror against demonstrators who are demanding his departure. Yesterday, three civilians were killed by the Haitian soldiers and today a group of demonstrators comprising of 250 university students were fired on by soldiers of the presidential guard. Following the Financial News, the stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press are aired. The report concludes with the possible delay of the start of tomorrow’s second test match between the West Indies and England due to rain.
