Ten posse members were arrested in Dallas, Texas for various violations of the Controlled Substance Act, according to Brad Morgan, Information Officer at the Crud Enforcement Agency.

BBC correspondent, Leslie Garth reports on the benefits for the Caribbean region, and interviews Tom Chellew, Director of Cable and Wireless with Responsibility for the Caribbean, and Leslie Pierre, Editor of the Grenadian Voice. Pierre likens the recent acquisitions to colonialism in the communication sphere of the Caribbean. However, Terry Stone, General Manager of Grantele, Grenada’s telephone company affirms that the move adds impetus to the development of telecommunication services in the region. Thirdly, Adrian Porter provides an update of last year’s plight of a herd of llamas from Chile stranded on a barren strip, offshore from Antigua. Michael O’Sullivan of the World Society for the Protection of Animals confirms the death of 118 lamas which prompted the WSPA to intervene and propose to ship the llamas to Peru. Following the Financial Market news, the new Chairman of the Group of 77, Ambassador Hugo Navajas of Bolivia states that the Third World faces an era of economic risks in the 1990’s. The program concludes with the preparation of the English cricketers to improve their physical fitness before the upcoming tour of the West Indies.

    In this report, Chile becomes the third Latin American country to sign a trade agreement with CARICOM. Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ralph Maraj stated that a trade agreement between Chile and CARICOM would be strategically important. Maraj responded to whether CARICOM has been taking advantage, in any significant way, of the agreements that they have entered into and if discussions were held on a bilateral level between Trinidad and Tobago and Chile. Britain and Cuba signed an investment promotion and protection agreement. Britain's Under Secretary of State for Trade and Technology, Ian Taylor explained exactly what the agreement is designed to achieve and why Britain is anxious to invest in Cuba. The UN Special Investigator has said that there have been no significant improvements in human rights in Cuba for the past three years. Mr. Taylor is questioned on whether the British government is putting any pressure on the Cuban government to implement democratic reforms. Sir Leon Brittan, European Commissioner for relations with North America, and US Trade Representative Mickey Kantor remained tight-lipped after discussions on a number of issues including bananas. They are expected to have talked about America's opposition to the EU banana regime and its threat of retaliatory action. The United Nations Security Council wrangled over a draft resolution that would send UN peacekeepers and civil police to Haiti to replace the US-led forces. England cricket team celebrated after winning their first test in Australia for eight years. The three key players in the triumph were all West Indians, Dominica's Phillip DeFreitas, Jamaican Devon Malcolm and Guyanese Chris Lewis.
