    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.
