dc.description.abstractIn Guyana, violent protests escalate as the political crisis deepens. Opposition Leader Desmond Hoyte denies his party's involvement in the escalation of this violence. Britain's biggest importer of Caribbean bananas, Fyffes publishes its annual figures. John Ellis, Chairman of the Fyffes Group, states that he expects few changes in Europe's banana trading arrangement. Thousands of Haitians stampede the border of the Dominican Republic as that country's state-owned sugar company announced that they intend to hire Haitian workers. Meanwhile, the EU is set to invest $30 million in the Dominican Republic and Haiti under the Lome Convention. The Jamaica Football Federation's plan to spend $54 million on new headquarters has sparked controversy. In cricket, the England team arrived in Jamaica to prepare for the West Indies test series. Graham Gooch talks about England's chances of beating the West Indies. Barbadian swimmer Leah Martindale represents the Caribbean at the World Swimming Championships in Australia.en_US
