Abstract
Jamaican Health Minister has threatened to close three jails in Kingston because of desperately poor health conditions. Following, the Washington Directory of the Cuban American Foundation has criticized the report that alleges the foundation has had too much influence on American foreign policy towards Cuba. Next, the Trinidad and Tobago government has announced changes to the board of the state owned television (TTT) and radio stations. During his visit to India, Basdeo Panday, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago is supporting suggestions that India should become a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Next, as predicted in Brussels the European Commission has taken technical measures to strengthen controls on imports on bananas from Third World countries. The next segment discusses that when Australia and the West Indies resume battle today in the fourth test match in Adelaide, the West Indies must win to keep alive the hopes of winning back the Sir Frank Worrell Trophy. The final segment shows how Euro ’96 united the European community.
