dc.description.abstract | The Saint Lucia Chamber of Industry and Commerce has given an ultimatum to government over the UN funds scandal. Meanwhile, the Financial Services Minister Rufus Bousquet was fired after he broke a Cabinet directive not to speak about the UN funds scandal. Journalist Lew Smith reports on allegations that UN funds were requested by St. Lucia to help political friends in Grenada. The US has revamped its immigration policy on Cuba, meanwhile, Cuban nationals continue to arrive in Belize seeking help. Cuba's Parliament assesses the possible effects of a new US bill aimed at tightening trade sanctions against Cuba. In Guyana, Parliament is conducting a debate on abortion in a bid to update the country's laws. British newspapers sport writers had a field day when the the West Indies cricket team lost its first test series at home in fifteen years.
