dc.description.tableofcontents2. Cuba’s leader, Fidel Castro is expected to unveil a series of measures whose combine result is likely to be a more open economy.

dc.description.tableofcontents3. A Caribbean link to the upheaval in the former Yugoslavia Republics emerged with a report that St. Vincent and the Grenadines has pulled the plug on a floating radio station, Radio Broad in the Adriatic Sea. The radio station was launched in April and funded by the European Community (EC) to broadcast non-partisan news to the fighting republics. The radio station used a rented French research ship, ten journalists from six Yugoslav republics and 1.2 million dollars in EC funds. The Belgrade government complained to Geneva based International Communication Union (ICU) that someone was broadcasting into its territory from international waters. St. Vincent withdrew its flag from the ship forcing Radio Broad off the air on June 20th, after the report. Yvette Collymore reports on a report in the Washington Post (02:59-05:14)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents4. Britain’s new Asylum Bill comes into effect today. The Bill is primarily designed to curb the inflow of illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers, mainly from Eastern Europe. However, the Bill has ramifications for other would be entrants including visitors from the Caribbean. Campaigners against the Bill claimed that past experience suggests persons arriving from the Caribbean are likely to be subjected to grueling immigration queries, often times being denied entry. They also argued that the new law puts too much power in the hands of immigration officers. Interview with William Trant, Director of the West Indian Standing Conference, London (05:15-09:01)en_US
