Abstract
The program reports on the shooting to death of an eleven-year-old Haitian girl by soldiers during anti-government demonstrations in Haiti. Opposition groups are working with the business sector to shut down activities in the country and issues a joint statement which outlines the setting up of an interim civilian president after President Avril vacates office. Following the Financial News, the finalization of the peace agreement is discussed at a meeting with Surinamese President Shankar, Desi Bouterse and the armed rebel forces led by Ronnie Brunswick. The report concludes with tomorrow’s fourth one-day international between England and the West Indies at Bourda Oval, Guyana. The weather forecast and the conditions of the pitch are points of interest in the report.
