Abstract
Cuba condemns the US after the expulsion of two Cuban UN diplomats. Cuban Foreign Ministry spokesman Miguel Alfonso discusses this matter. Two foreign groups have completed the purchase of a forty-nine per cent stake in Cuba's telecommunication company, Etecsa. Christopher Morris reports on the US State Department's response to the letter of protest sent by the Vincentian Prime Minister. For the first time since President Aristide's return to Haiti, the US Coast Guard has returned a group of 'boat people'. Michael Norton reports on whether this signals a resumption of the exodus of disaffected Haitians. The five island government of the Netherlands Antilles have been given until next week to respond to a series of proposals aimed at reducing their staggering debt. The second test between the West Indies and Australia ended in a draw in Antigua. The third test takes place in Trinidad. One of the unsung heroes of West Indian cricketing dominance in the past fifteen years is physiotherapist Dennis Waight. Waight speaks about how he first became associated with the West Indies team.
