Abstract
This program features news on a pending agreement between the Jamaican Government and an American Aluminum company which would reopen Jamaica’s largest bauxite refinery. It also features the controversial body searches being conducted at British airports, which largely targets tourists from Caribbean destinations. The falling price of coffee on the wholesale market and efforts by the International Coffee Organization to address the phenomenon is also briefly examined, and the program concludes with highlights of both the IAAF World Junior Championships in Sudbury, Canada and the cricket match between the visiting West Indies team and Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
