    In this report: Jamaica's ruling party, the People's National Party has given the thumbs down for the introduction of casino gambling. Dr. Brian Meeks, a Jamaican political analyst, indicated that he was a little surprised about this decision but stated popular opinion was not overly in favour of casino gambling. A Methodist Synod held in French St. Martin marked a new moral era for the Caribbean community. A common Christian culture was the main focus and Reverend Livingston Malcolm pointed to a moral revolution emerging in Caribbean Christianity today. Dr. Anthony Bryan, Director of Caribbean Studies at the University of Miami, responded to questions about the collapse of the Mexican peso and whether it affected Mexico's position as a magnet for investment. In cricket, all-rounder, Carl Hooper is unable to join the West Indies team on its New Zealand tour since he had not recovered in time. John Rawling reports that former WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis had selected Emanuel Steward as his new trainer. Steward was asked why he had decided to work with Lewis and what he could do to improve Lewis' fighting.
