| dc.description.abstract | Residents in Petite Martinique attempt to prevent the start of work on a Coast Guard base proposed by the government of Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell. However, some islanders are in agreement to the based being built as it would bring certain benefits. Dr Keith Mitchell underscores the government’s determination to see the project through. Next, the Guyana Human Rights Association is questioning the legality of an agreement signed with a timber company owned by Guyanese and Malaysian partners. The memorandum of understanding will allow the company to explore acres of Guyana’s rain forest that could be followed by a timber harvesting. Next, Stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press. In the following segment Britain’s general elections are just a few weeks away and voter registration among the Afro-Caribbean population remains low. In the final segment, the United Nations has criticised Britain for refusing to impose a legal band on groups which incite racial hatred. Britain has failed to comply with the band requested from all countries which helped sign a UN treaty on race. | en_US |
