Abstract
In this report, clashes with the police in Haiti leave at least four people dead. This violence was sparked off by the fatal shooting of a six year old school girl. The European Union has announced plans to provide financial help to the Caribbean to assist with integration into the world economy. The Caribbean tries to seek a way forward in Europe after the Lome Convention which ends in the year 2000. Cuban President Fidel Castro will make his first ever trip to China to improve relations between the two countries. In Jamaica, the debate on what type of government should be adopted under a revised constitution continues in Parliament. Opposition Leader Edward Seaga raised the issue of a referendum and political commentator Anthony Abrahams argued that the issue of a referendum was not a matter of if but when. In Dutch St. Martin the resurrection of an old law seems set to change the face of broadcasting. The regulation dates back to 1955 which states that all radio stations must within every hour play ten minutes of classical music.
