dc.description.abstractThis report highlights the situation in both the US and British Virgin Islands as they prepare to bear the brunt of hurricane Marilyn. Officials in Dominica report on additional damage to the country's housing stock and Prime Minister Edison James assesses the effects of hurricane Marilyn. Martinique, St. Martin and Antigua report on the passage of hurricane Marilyn. In Haiti, the US Embassy has urged massive participation in the second round of legislative elections. However, several opposition parties plan to boycott as they claim there is alleged fraud in the first round. A team of forensic scientists will begin the task of exhuming the bodies from mass graves in Haiti to determine exactly who is buried there and how the people were killed. At the close of the UN World Conference on Women held in Beijing, there were pledges to push for change but it was accepted that implementation would be difficult. The issue of poverty was a focal point at the conference and calls for an international commitment to resources dedicated to women's issues were made. In Trinidad and Tobago, the Public Service Association (PSA) claimed victory in its attempt to have workers stay off the job. The protest is against government's refusal to increase its offer to improve upon the terms of the back-pay settlement to the public servants.en_US
