dc.description.tableofcontents2. President of the CBD, Sir Neville Nicholls has called for a re-appraisal on how Caribbean leaders arrive at key regional decisions. He says the many examples of regional leaders failing to implement decisions taken at the CARICOM level could be that the decisions were taken without adequate research and analysis. In an interview, he says, for the region to satisfactorily respond to global issues, the efficacy of its decision making must be reviewed. Hugh Crosskill reports (00:36-03:06)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents3. The Caribbean hurricane season has claimed its first casualties with twenty-one deaths in Haiti and Cuba.

dc.description.tableofcontents5. In Britain, thousands of asylum seekers and visitors are detained each year on immigration laws. At present, Caribbean visitors affected by this law account for three percent of the 8,000 detained annually on arrival to Britain.

dc.description.tableofcontents6. US Secretary of State, Warren Christopher wants to see democracy restored in Haiti by the end of the year. Interview with Professor Philip Brenner, Chairman of the International Politics and Foreign Policy Department at the American University in Washington. He says that the US is not acting in ways to bring about democracy in Haiti and Mr. Warren Christopher’s statement is weak in resolving the situation. He says a resolution needs hard political bargaining by the region and the US government (11:43-15:16)en_US
