    The polls are closed and exit results are coming up. The polls are indicating a Labour victory. The disenchantment of Britain’s young black and Afro-Caribbean voters is discussed. They believe that the system ignores their wishes and aspirations. However, some think differently and hope their vote makes a difference on issues that matter to them. A Jamaican black academic is interviewed on the black voter apartheid and a black family is visited to get their views. How black candidates will fare in the elections is discussed. Next, Trinidadian and Vincentian rescuers find a part of the wreckage of a private aircraft that crashed into the Caribbean Sea shortly after takeoff from St Vincent. Six were on board the aircraft at the time. They were cricket lovers who went to St Vincent to support the West Indies cricket team. In this segment hundreds of thousands of people are taking part in May Day marches in Cuba. Next, the atmosphere in Britain anticipating a Labour victory is given and the voice of people in East London is heard. They emphasise on the need for black people to come out and vote so that they can get a voice. Black voters are going out to vote but are still feeling neglected. It is noted that the Labour Party can no longer take the black vote for granted. It is changing over the last few years and there are now both Black Conservative as well as Labour candidates. More professional blacks are leaning toward the Conservative Party and there is a more sophisticated approach in the black community as to who they would vote.

    A day after the British general elections and the public is still digesting the implications of the results. Labour has swept into office with the biggest majority that they ever had, while the Conservatives are taking stock of a shattering defeat that left them temporarily leaderless and split over Europe. Britain’s new Foreign Secretary said that along with Europe, improving relations with the Commonwealth would also be a priority. They would be arguing for a better deal with Europe for Caribbean bananas. Immigration and entry into Europe would be one of the issues that the Afro-Caribbean community may take up with the new government. Next, a group of Euro-MPs are about to visit four Caribbean banana producing states to get a better grasp of the importance of EU banana regime to ACP countries and EU suppliers. Next, Cuba’s President has predicted a lower than expected Cuban sugar harvest this year due to the effects of hurricane Lili and the tightening of the US embargo. Next, divers are still searching for the bodies off the coast of St Vincent. A Trinidad airplane carrying cricket fans crashed into the sea. Finally, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the British government would be guilty of inhumane treatment if it deported a dying man to his birth place in St Kitts. The man a convicted drug courier who was ordered by the Immigration Authorities to be returned home has only weeks to live after being diagnoses with aids.

    Representatives of Britain's dependent territories gathered in London for a conference that could have a significant bearing on their future relations with Britain. The six Caribbean dependent territories state what they want out of the proposed new deal with London. President Fidel Castro has rejected charity from the Cuban American National Foundation and US Senator Jesse Helms. In the Cayman Islands, authorities fear inappropriate behavior and refuse to let a ship, which was part of a gay cruise, dock. Director of the cruise, Rich Campbell states he would not forget the snub and warns there could be fallout for the island's tourism industry. In Trinidad, the conference on sexual pleasure and sexual health continues and Dr. Everold Hosein states the conference acknowledges the pleasure of sex. In cricket, following the cancellation of the test match at Sabina Park, authorities try to allay fears on the state of readiness of the pitch. Trinidad has recruited a soil scientist Dr. Frank Gumbs to supervise the preparation of the two pitches. Dr. Gumbs states that science must be part of traditional pitch preparation.

    As Guyana’s President, Cheddi Jagan, condition worsens, Guyana may have to look for a new Head. A new report in the United States has given the Caribbean a mixed review in terms of its efforts to fight illicit drug trafficking. The United States and Barbados have tried to play down the controversy over a visit by an envoy of President Bill Clinton. Antigua’s Prime Minister is said to be unhappy that Richard Clarke of Mr Clinton’s National Security Council is visiting individual states rather than meeting them as a group. The President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, visits Cuba and the Dominican Republic to help resolve the hostage crisis in Lima. The student body of the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, has brought the campus to a standstill.

However, the opposition has its own presidential candidate in the person of High Court Judge, Anthony Lucky.

However, the permanent representative for the Jamaican Agricultural Society shared different views. In the next segment, Cuban education system is on show this week at an education conference. Cuba’s health and education systems are still seen as models by many in the region and the rest of the developing world. Also, Cuba has again reacted to a report from the US government which outlines plans for a democratic transition in the country. A document published that the US government says it would cost billions of dollars to fund the return of democratic rule once President Fidel Castro let the US in.
