    Report of increased gun use within Britain’s Black community has sparked off new criminal links between Jamaica, New York and London - which gives British police the idea that there might be more guns in Britain’s West Indian communities than previously suspected. In an interview with Yvette Rowe, Detective, and Chief Superintendent of Scotland Yard - Robert Chapman gives his analysis of the crime situation, linking Britain’s crime situation to political crimes in Jamaica. However George Ruddock of the UK edition of the Jamaica Gleaner in an interview with Mike Jarvis strongly disagrees with Robert Chapman’s assessment. Mr. Ruddock strongly disagrees with Mr. Chapman’s assessment, stating that there is no real proof and alluding that it was inaccurate and biased. The Incoming and outgoing US administrations issued a joint statement on Haiti. The statement follows Lawrence Sidney Eagleburger, US Secretary of State and his successor Warren Christopher, collaborative efforts to support a new diplomatic UN and OAS initiative towards restoring democracy to Haiti and safeguarding the human rights for all Haitians. Correspondent Chris Nuttal reports that there is great concern of Haiti being the first major US Foreign Policy problem confronting President Clinton. Haiti was the subject of questions for Ron Brown, United States Secretary of Commerce at the first congressional confirmation hearings, was a lobbyist during the Duvalier regime (1991 coup). He stated that he believed he made a difference in Haiti’s human rights situation. The US revises its travel advisory system. This was initially as a result of Caribbean countries who found themselves singled out as a result of the rise in crime. The new system now lists every country in the world, disseminating useful information for international travelers on local health facilities to necessary travel documents of the respective country. In an interview with correspondent Mike Jarvis - Mildred Patterson, Director Citizens Emergency Centre at the US State Department reports that the new system seems fairer to all countries, and has quelled the former complaints by countries that may have felt targeted before. The new telephone advisory is a clearer system and lasts about two (2) minutes. Captain Richie Richardson in an interview with Mike Jarvis states that he believes that his team’s new score after one test match down and the day’s 3rd test draw is an indication of a new pattern for upcoming matches, and a precedent of his team’s ability to score large totals.
