Abstract
In this report, Lew Smith reports on the general election in Grenada. Veteran journalist Alister Hughes comments on the possible outcomes of the elections and the challenges facing the victors. Following a visit to Cuba, the influential Washington-based think tank, Inter-American Dialogue considers recommending the end of the US embargo against Cuba. In Cuba, a feasibility study on the possibility of reactivating the Juragua Nuclear Power Plant is expected to be completed by month's end. Two UN peacekeepers, including a Caribbean national, were injured when a military aircraft crashed at one of Haiti's provincial airports. The voters of Bermuda have less than sixty days before a referendum on the question of their independence. In cricket, historical precedent, current form and the bookmakers suggest that England has virtually no chance of leveling the six match series against the West Indies in the second test.
