In the second section, the government of the Bahamas has reacted strongly to a U.S. State Department report which says that too much cocaine is passing through the islands.

In Britain, the Lord Chancellor spoke at a conference organized by the National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders on the theme “Race and Criminal justice” in direct response to Sir James Miskin’s racial remarks.
