    Anchor, Debbie Ransome reports on how Jason Lloyd, son of the former West Indies cricket captain, Clive Lloyd, contracted the rare Guillain-Barre syndrome after receiving a booster injection to prevent measles. Candace Piette, examines the teething problems of implementing the new trade regulations of MERCOSUR and the implications for smaller trade groups like CARICOM. Correspondent Mike Jarvis reports on the debate in St. Martin which focused on legislation passed by Netherland Antilles to deal with labor and immigration problems. This Priority Hiring Resolution restricts the hiring of non-nationals and places priority on Antillians with Caribbean nationals at the bottom of the table. In St. Martin a large percentage of the work force comprise of foreigners and Caribbean nationals resulting in a large illegal immigrant worker population. Hence, Caribbean nationals feel they have been the casuality of an inefficient immigration and labor control system.

    Caribbean Report 04-01-1995
    (The British Broadcasting Corporation, 1995-01-04) Crosskill, Hugh (anchor); Powell, Chris (interviewee); Foreman, Martin (interviewee); Lloyd, Waveney (interviewee); Smith, Henry (interviewee); Coughlan, Geraldine (correspondent); The British Broadcasting Corporation
    Hugh Crosskill, anchor, reports that the Caribbean is urged to introduce sex education in primary schools as the number of AIDS cases continues to rise. Martin Foreman comments that while AIDS have become an endemic disease, education has worked overall. He argues for early sex education for all young people between the ages of 10 and 11. The illness of Jason Lloyd, son of Clive Lloyd, former cricket captain of the West Indies is examined. Jason became ill after a booster injection against measles. Henry Smith of the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) responded to questions on whether the illness could have been a direct result of the booster shot and if older children should receive booster shots. Geraldine Coughlan reports on the investigations into Air St. Bart's purchase of three Australian planes by the General Direction of Taxes Office in Paris. Successive incidents resulted in a ban on company flights as designated safety level repairs were not carried out. The report wraps up as Vincentians have their say on the knighthood of their Prime Minister James Mitchell.
