More than two hundred exiles from 15 countries attended to discuss questions such as immigration and investment (but not Cuba’s political situation).

Another 95 Haitians who were marooned in Bahamas were flown home on Saturday. Witnesses said dozens of others died from thirst after being shipwrecked. The forced repatriation come amid growing concern in America about the policy toward the Haitians. Critics claim it is illegal and discriminatory but the Clinton Administration defends the policy and claims it is needed in order to discourage other Haitians from making the perilous voyage (14:27-15:00)en_US
