| dc.description.abstract | There is a high degree of uneasiness on Grenada’s industrial front as workers employed with the Canadian Company, Janin Construction have walked off the job. Next, St Lucia and the other Windward Islands plan to make their concerns over the future of bananas known to President Bill Clinton at a meeting of regional heads with the US leader next month. Next, there has been growing opposition in Guyana to the government’s renaming of the country international airport. In this segment, at least eighty five Haitian children have died after taking contaminated cough medicine imported from Europe. Officials say that medicines that are unacceptable in the developed world should not be made available in poorer countries. Next, Haiti is preparing for local government elections on Sunday. Interest in these elections are reported to be very low. However, the elections is considered very important in bringing authority to parts of the country where it is lacking. Finally, in cricket one of Trinidad and Tobago’s all-rounders have been named one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the year. This is on the basis of his outstanding all round performance in last year’s English Country Championships. | en_US |
