Abstract
In Montserrat a new vent on the volcano belched steam and ash as an evacuation order is kept in place. The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) Deputy Coordinator Audrey Mullings comments on how prepare the organization is to provide assistance to Montserrat. Tropical storm Iris is back up to hurricane strength after it left extensive damage to banana crops both in St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A group of Cuban exiles plan a protest sailing to Cuba off the South Florida Keys. However, a spokesman for the Cuban government, Rafael Dausa states that Cuba is ready to face any intrusion into Cuban space or waters. In Haiti, the campaign for the second round of elections starts and Father Jean-Yves Urfie gives his reaction to the criticism of the irregularities that occurred in the first round. In Suriname, election fever has started although no election date has been announced and voters express their aversion to ethnic-based party politics. In cricket, the British sporting press reported on the drawn series between England and the West Indies and some of the headlines paid tribute to England's captain Mike Atherton. Warm weather and crowds of more than one million helped make Notting Hill Carnival a success this year.
