1. Headlines (00:00-00:34)
2. A report by the Caribbean Conference of Churches outlines a pervading sense of hopelessness and sadness in Guyana. The CCC advises Guyana to scrap the idea of an economic recovery programme, implores Caricom to adopt a greater responsibility towards Guyana, and calls on the US and Britain to stay out of the affairs of Guyana. Debbie Ransome reports and Hugh Crosskill interviews one of the authors of the report, Drexel Gomez, an Anglican bishop of Barbados (00:35-05:28)
