Russia backs up its decision to join with other members of the UN Human Rights Commission in condemnation of Cuba’s human rights violations by hosting a reception for several Cuban dissidents. The Cuban official newspaper, Western News Agency reports that the Head of the Russian Delegation to the UN Human Rights Commission did not have the approval of all Russian diplomats in hosting the reception.

Due to a spate of shootings and a direct attack on police headquarters in the British Virgin Islands, Governor Peter Penfold is enlisting the help of law enforcement specialists along with existing and enhanced resources to combat the problem. Expectancy runs high as West Indies takes on South Africa in its next World Cup cricket game.
