    This program reports on the resignation of Dr. Don Blackman, Member of Parliament of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP). Dr. Blackman was seen as a very controversial figure and politician since he was always outspoken about racial issues that impacted on the country’s social and economic landscape. He was seen by some as a critic of Barbados’ white population, a view which was not fully supported by the private and other sectors. Some argue that his resignation indicates that there was disunity within the DLP party. A report is done on the newly formed interim government in Surname and the composition of the new cabinet following the military coup. Economists from Trinidad and Tobago provide a review of the country’s economy since the recent Christmas budget. An update on the political situation in Haiti is also provided following the recent coup activity where it is reported that 60 persons were killed and 60 were wounded in the capital. Also, Guyana and Belize become fully fledged members of the Organization for American States (OAS).
