    It is hoped that a conference gathering leaders from thirty four Latin American and Caribbean countries, in Atlanta, Georgia convened by the Carter Centre will breathe life into plans to establish a Free Trade Area of the Americas. Next, anti-racist groups in Britain demonstrated outside some broadcasting organisations today over an election broadcast by the far right British National Party. The broadcast was transmitted earlier today by the BBC television along with other stations. Also, in Britain the spokesman on overseas aid for the opposition Liberal Democrat Party is calling on the other major parties to adopt a more realistic approach. His comments follow criticism of the three major parties by several aid agencies. Two British-based aid agencies, the World Development Movement and the Christian Aid criticised all the parties for giving only a vague commitment to increasing the aid share to 0.7% of GDP. Finally, the government in Port of Spain agreed with recommendation made by a Commission of Inquiry headed by a High Court Judge to terminate multimillion dollar contracts to build a new airport. The Commission found that there was a conflict of interest in the award of the contract.
