    After a meeting between the Jamaican Prime Minister, Michael Manley, and the United States President George Bush in Washington, the United States promises to assist with Jamaica’s economic development and praises Jamaica’s contribution to regional affairs. High on the agenda for Jamaica was the priority to secure US financing to fight drug trafficking and enlist the assistance of the Americans in persuading the World Bank to extend the repayment of Jamaica’s existing debt. David Core, Jamaica’s Foreign Minister, also commented on the reaction of the United States to Jamaica’s relationship with Cuba. Following the Financial News, the general elections of the Dominican Republic is less than two weeks away and growing tension amongst campaigners is prevalent. Since the beginning of the election campaign, four people have been killed and more than thirty have been injured in clashes between the main candidates. The report concludes with an animal breeding improvement scheme in Antigua. A shipment of four pigs and four sheep left London for Antigua with the intention to form the core of a cross-breeding project on the island.

    The Jamaican Prime Minister, Michael Manley, concludes a three day visit to Washington with a meeting with the US Vice-President, Dan Quayle, and officials of the Organisation of the American States. Mr. Manley’s visit focused on debt relief, the war on drugs and urging the US to desist from diverting economic aid from the Caribbean to the Eastern European countries. Secondly, six people are reported dead and 48 missing after the wreckage of a small boat was discovered off the eastern Dominican coast. All the victims were attempting to enter Puerto Rico illegally through the dangerous Mona Passage. Following the Financial News, the General Criminal Investigation Authority of the military police in Suriname has been withdrawn. The vast majority of the Surinamese National Assembly voted in favour of the bill while the six-member opposition voted against. In the next segment, the manufacturing sector of Barbados responded with mixed feelings to the 1990 Budget presented by the Prime Minister. The Manufacturers’ Association stated that whilst the budget offered greater financial assistance to small businesses, it failed to provide assistance for manufacturers in the export sector. The report concludes with the Stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British Press covering the combating of crime in Jamaica and the injuries of the Barbadian middleweight boxer, Nigel Benn.

    The program reports on the insistence by the Dominican Republic that the export of bananas to Europe does not violate their agreement with the ACP banana producing countries in the Caribbean. Secondly, Fidel Castro, president of Cuba, introduces tighter controls on the rationing of bread in Cuba as the Soviet Union falls behind in the shipment of grain to Havana. In turn, Cuba’s failure to send promised supplies of citrus to the Soviet Union has led observers to speculate that the Soviet Union is attempting to force Cuba to retract its criticism of Perestroika. Following the Financial Market news, the representatives of the current European colonies in the Caribbean voice concerns of being inundated by European settlers with the formation of the single European market in 1992. The next segment outlines the results of a 1988 survey in Britain showing the increase in the number of people returning to the Caribbean from Britain. The report concludes with Chris Lewis, Guyanese-born cricketer who is preparing to join the English cricket squad in the Caribbean.

    The Third Special ACP Ministerial Conference on Sugar concluded in London with representatives agreeing to intensify the pressure in Europe for the continued protection in sugar export. A five-year price freeze and an impending two percent cut in sugar prices pose a serious threat to ACP producers. The concern of the Caribbean sugar producers has heightened in light of the proposed takeover of the parent company of British sugar by Tate and Lyle Sugars and the news that Tate and Lyle has also developed a new artificial sweetener. Secondly, the UK proposals to influence the structure of Europe’s banana market in 1992 are drawing the attention of banana producers. In the Caribbean, the banana producing countries view the British proposals as ultimately leading to a reduction in the price of bananas. Following the Financial News, the two main opposition leaders in the Dominican Republic accuse the present administration of preventing free and fair process at next Wednesday’s general elections. The report ends with the Stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press.

    Stanley Rensch, exiled leader of the Surinamese Human Rights Organization, contends that the government is powerless to control the current conflict between the army and the Jungle Commando rebel group. Over the past week, the bauxite mining town of Moengo in Suriname has been under siege resulting in the closure of the bauxite company SURALCO. Secondly, Jamaica’s ailing Prime Minister, Michael Manley, is unable to host the 11Th Caricom Heads of Government Summit. Mr. Manley is currently a patient at the Miami Heart Institute recovering from a case of pneumonia and will soon be preparing for prostate cancer surgery. Thirdly, all travellers arriving in the Dominican Republic will now be required to change US$100.00 in an effort by the government to increase the foreign currency of the Central Bank. Following the Financial News, the Caribbean ambassadors in Brussels are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss the proposals put forward by the regional agricultural ministers for the regularization of the banana trade in Europe after 1992. These proposals were drafted at a meeting in Jamaica last week and seek to counter the controversial proposals by the British government which may lead to a significant fall in the price of bananas. The report concludes with a brief segment on Guyana’s inability to work out a support agreement with the IMF.
