dc.description.tableofcontents2. The appointment of an ex-army colonel to head the Jamaica’s police force is being met with objections from the police staff association. Retired Army Colonel, Trevor MacMillan will take up duties within the next month. He succeeds Police Commissioner, Roy Thompson who is retiring. Gary Allen reports that before he starts fighting criminals, the new Commissioner will first have to fight off detractors in his staff. Interview with Trevor MacMillan, newly appointed Police Commissioner, Jamaica (00:34-06:12)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents3. The efforts of the Caribbean and other beneficiaries of the 936 Programme to have it retained have been given a boost by President Clinton. US House of Representative and Senate officials are examining two versions of the proposed alterations to the programme which proposed cuts in the pool of loan funds available to the region. The Senate version is favoured by the Caribbean as it is less drastic. At the recent CARICOM Summit, Puerto Rico’s Secretary of State had assured CARICOM leaders that if the Senate version succeeds, he would double the money available for the region. Interview with Puerto Rico’s based journalist, Doreen Hemlock (06:13-10:01)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents4. Haiti’s Senate is expected to elect its new leader under the terms of the Aristide-Cedras agreement signed in New York. Late yesterday, the country’s Chamber of Deputies elected centrist Antoine Joseph as its President. However, new pressure continues to build on President Aristide to name a Prime Minister. Interview with correspondent, Michael Norton (10:02-12:22)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents5. Cuba’s President, Fidel Castro is expected to announce major changes to the island’s domestic, economic and foreign policy on Monday. Rumours of the significance of the address have been gaining momentum in Cuba. These have been fuel in part by the worsening economic conditions on the island and signs of a softer tone in Cuba’s overtures to the US to lift the trade embargo. One item that is certain about Monday’s address is that the present restrictions on holding hard currency would be relaxed. Lionel Martin reports (12:23-15:10)en_US
