Abstract
Haiti’s Foreign Minister is meeting with officials of the Dominican Republic in an attempt to resolve their disagreement over the deportation of Haitians from the neighbouring country. Haiti’s pre-carnival celebrations have turned sour. In the following, the issue of poverty in Dominica is addressed. Next, the European Union is pressing the World Trade Organisation to appoint a panel to hear the EU complaint against the US Helms-Burton law. Finally, Australian Captain Mark Taylor has accused the West Indies vice-captain Brian Lara of being an antagonist.
