Abstract
The European pyramid game has reached Tobago and hundreds of Tobagonians have invested in it. Next, the new Premier of Bermuda says that she looks forward to the future and to leading the Bermuda United National Party to the next general elections. Next, non-governmental organisations in the Caribbean are pushing for a greater say in post Lome negotiations during a major consultation in the Dominican Republic. Next, in St Lucia the vice-president of the St Lucia Media Workers Association has requested a leave of absence to take up a post with the St Lucia Labour Party. Next, a Belizean born female who carried out a killing at age 12, was convicted of murder at the London Central Criminal Court. Next, the case of the seven year old Jamaican school girl due to be sent home has been deferred for another ten days. In the final segment, in Britain the Ministry of Defence is facing a dissatisfaction at the Commission for Racial Equality. The Commission is signalling its displeasure of the armed forces treatment of minority racial groups.
