    This edition of BBC Caribbean Report focuses on race relations in Britain and beyond. It begins with an examination of racist practices by whites against blacks in the British House of Commons, and showcases the efforts by one black Member of Parliament to eradicate such practices. Celebrations at Hyde Park by the Anti-Apartheid Movement, in honour of Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday are also featured. Additionally, the program highlights the British government’s refusal to implement proposals by the House of Commons Defense Committee, for more detailed, racially-based monitoring of blacks in the British armed forces. Finally, a production-sharing agreement between the government of Guyana and the London and Scottish Marine Company to commence offshore oil exploration off the coast of Guyana is highlighted.
