Abstract
In this report the authorities in the US Virgin Islands clamp down on looters in the wake of hurricane Marilyn. Meanwhile, Bermuda felt just a slap in the face from hurricane Marilyn as she now heads out into the Atlantic. The Windward Islands Prime Ministers are protesting strongly against plans by Geest which could prove harmful to the islands' banana industry. Prime Minister James Mitchell has written to the British government to express these concerns and the importance of not being put in any disadvantageous position. Haiti marks the first anniversary of the return to power of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. However, a coalition of groups instigate a protest against the privatization program outside the Presidential Palace. In Havana, Britain's Minister of Science and Technology, Ian Taylor has criticized the US sanctions against Cuba, as Britain seeks to expand its business interests in Cuba. In cricket, West Indies pace-man Ian Bishop has been ruled out of returning to play for Derbyshire next season.
