    The European Commission gets a new Development Commissioner in the name of Manuel Marin. Although there is some measure of skepticism of Marin in his new role at the EC and his support for ACP countries, it could be good news for the Caribbean. New immigration guidelines introduced in Britain on January 3rd, no longer allow British MPs to appeal direct to the Home Office Minister on behalf of overseas visitors who have been denied entry into the country. MPs can only appeal after the visitor returns to his or her country, unless there are exceptional and compelling circumstances. The report concludes with a look at what the British newspapers has been saying that are of interest to the Caribbean. Reports include Princess Diana's vacation in the Caribbean; Fran Bruno's trainer, George Francis; Ben Johnson's coach to testify; and former athlete, Daley Thompson wants stiffer penalties for users of drugs in sports.

    The autonomous Union of Haitian Workers with support from the country's four left parties have called for a general strike next Tuesday to protest some fourteen complaints including the behaviour of the government after four months in power, against the growing bourgeoisie and national oligarchy, and the extradition of Franck Romain. In the Dominican Republic there is growing opposition to the presence of Franck Romain and other members of the past Duvalier's regime. In Britain, opposition MPs are unhappy with the new guidelines on immigration which came into effect on January 3rd. Under the new rules, MPs can only appeal on behalf of visitors who are denied entry if the circumstances are exceptional or compelling. Nearly three months after Hurricane Joan destroyed the Nicaraguan town of Bluefields, the people are trying to make the most of a devastating situation. The Mayor of Bluefields recognised the need for relocation of its people from sub-standard condition to higher ground and the opportunity for urban planning.

    The new Immigration Guidelines in Britain which came into effect on January 3rd which allow MPs to appeal on behalf of visitors demanding entry to the UK, only if the circumstances are exceptional or compelling. This brought reactions of discriminations from opposition MP, Paul Boateng and Minister responsible for Immigration, Tim Renton. The Prime Minister of the Republic of China Li Peng visits the Dominican Republic on a goodwill tour and at a time when Taiwanese businessmen injected some twelve million dollars (US) in the country's textiles and fishing industry. The Asian businessmen are taking advantage of the duty free imports to the United States under the Caribbean Basin Initiative. In the British Press, articles that are of interest to the Caribbean include a protocol breach when two Jamaican students visit Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at her office and when a question from a journalist was not directed to the event. Other reports included fast bowlers in cricket and the implications for cricketers playing in South Africa because of apartheid. The report concluded with the possible resolution of players playing in South Africa with the acceptance of a West Indian proposal.
