| dc.description.abstract | In Trinidad and Tobago another member of the opposition People’s National Movement has defected to the government. Next, the United States may soon find it easier to get the Dominican Republic to return suspected criminals who commit crimes in the US and then flee home to the Caribbean. Next, plans have been approved by the Dutch Antilles parliament to save Curacao based Antillean Airlines. Next, in Haiti there was a low voter turnout on Sunday for the local elections. A US observer describes the situation as a lost opportunity to boost democracy. Next, talks are ahead in Tobago in preparation for the upcoming external negotiations for a Lome successor agreement. Next, a US cardinal hopes that next year’s papal visit to Cuba will enhance the role of the church there. Next, the crisis over Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence and the Commonwealth’s response at the time are among secret and restricted files that are now being made available to the public. Concluding, a row is continuing between the Antiguan Cricket Association and two newspaper journalist covering the fourth test in St Johns.
