    Caribbean Report 21-06-1990
    (The British Broadcasting Corporation, 1990-06-21) Whitehorne, Pat (anchor); Crosskill, Hugh (correspondent); Surillo, Theodore (interviewee); Dickson, Mark (analyst); Ferguson, James (interviewee); Barnes, John; James, Oliver (interviewee); Barnes, Jean (interviewee); Goffe, Leslie (correspondent); The British Broadcasting Corporation
    The leader of Suriname’s rebel Jungle Commando, Ronnie Brunswick, arrived in Paris from French Guiana and is placed under house arrest until a country of asylum is found for him. This action of the French has angered a magistrate in French Guiana who was ordered to send Ronnie Brunswick to Paris before charges could be laid against him. Following the Financial News, seven years after the US invaded Grenada in October 1983, James Ferguson publishes a book entitled “Grenada Revolution in Reverse.” In the book he addresses the impact of the failure of the US to fulfil its promises to the Grenadians and the demise of the Coalition New National Party. In the next segment, officials in Puerto Rico state that eleven men from the Dominican Republic died from exposure to a pesticide while attempting to stow away aboard a ship bound for the US. The report concludes with the criticism of the Jamaican born English footballer, John Barnes, for failing to perform at the international level. Oliver James, British psychologist, attributes John Barnes’ lack of performance at the World Cup tournament to his childhood beatings from his mother, and the mother of John Barnes fervently disagrees with the views of Mr. James.
