    This edition of the BBC Caribbean Report examines the impact of trade between Europe and the Caribbean in the aftermath of the re-negotiation of Lome III, and the pending removal of internal trade barriers in Europe in 1992. It also takes a brief look at excerpts from the ceremony marking the 300th anniversary of the ‘glorious revolution’, the moment in British history in 1688 when King James II was overthrown in favour of King William and Queen Mary, who recognized for the first time in British history, the supremacy of Parliament. Aspects of French Guiana’s space programme are explored, including the launching of two telecommunications satellites. Finally, in the run up to the fourth test match between the West Indies and England which is to take place at Headingley, the program takes a brief but critical look at issues surrounding the sport of cricket, with topics ranging from the poor condition of pitches across the country to the dismal performance of the English team in the recently concluded 3rd test match against the visitors, which was held at Old Trafford.
