Abstract
In this report, both the US President Bill Clinton and Haitian Prime Minister Smarck Michel have been lobbying for continued aid to Haiti. In Bermuda, the government published a green paper about whether the British colony should seek independence. Meanwhile in St. Kitts, Carol Orr interviews the Scotland Yard officer, Superintendent Alex Ross who has led investigations into two mysterious deaths. Carol Orr asked Ross about the investigation and his opnion of the abilities of the local police force. Veteran Trinidadian trade unionist George Weeks passed away. Weeks had visited Cuba last year for a heart bypass operation. The island of St. Martin has become a victim of its own success due to the phenomenal growth in the tourism sector which was largely unplanned and uncoordinated. The EU is to discuss potentially controversial new proposals on European Development Fund (EDF) disbursements to ACP countries. The issue of Britain's deeper integration into the EU is heavily debated on the political agenda. Sir Teddy Taylor states his views on the EU and what it has to offer Britain. Sir Teddy quoted a Bob Marley song to refer to the government's policy on the EU.
