dc.description.abstractIn Saint Lucia, a grouping of six major unions have voted to go ahead with two days of strike action. Trinidad and Tobago's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ralph Maraj has been fired. Mr. Maraj contemplates his political future after the announcement. In Britain, the climax of V-E Day celebrations to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe, took place. Jamaica's Governor General Sir Howard Cooke comments on whether he was disappointed that only two invitations had been sent to the Caribbean for attendance at the celebrations. Former Trinidad and Tobago Ambassador to London and ex-flying officer, Ulric Cross speaks about his experience of the war. In Jamaica and Barbados V-E Day celebrations have been low-key but in Trinidad the day has been commemorated with street celebrations. Tony Fraser reports on what the turn-out is like there. The report concludes with comments from Caribbean people on the relief felt when they heard the news that Hitler had been defeated.en_US
