Abstract
This report examines the continuing probe into the alleged misuse of UN funds in St. Lucia, with top officials seeking to clear the government's name. In Trinidad, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms. Occah Seepaul unceremoniously threw out a motion of no confidence brought against her by the government. The Commissioner of Police for London, Sir Paul Condon sparked up a heated debate when he claimed the vast majority of muggings in the capital were carried out by young black males. A Dominica-based radio station, which was an experiment in regional Catholic radio has succumbed to financial pressure and gone off the airwaves. West Indian born cricketers Devon Malcolm and Phillip DeFreitas began legal proceedings over a Wisden magazine article which questioned their commitment to the England cricket team. Cuba reaffirmed its intention to complete a nuclear reactor project dismissing American concerns that it would pose a threat to the region.
