| dc.description.abstract | British Airways remains optimistic that its proposed alliance with American Airlines would take effect this summer despite a threat of a clash with the European Commission. In the next segment, the rise of crime in Jamaica is discussed as gang violence claims more lives over the weekend. The following segment says that the price of gold plummetted today amid continued fears that European Central Banks will sell a large part of the gold reserves this year. Next, the Japanese government announced today that the high level nuclear waste shipment will not sail through the Caribbean. International Environmental Group, Greenpeace claims victory. Following is the campaign against multinational baby food companies because they are putting infant lives at risk by promoting breast milk substitutes. Next Emancipation Day and its significance is discussed. In the next segment, Bermuda’s scientists are puzzled by the discovery of the remains of some part of a sea creature washed up in one of the island’s beaches. Finally, claims by the Haitian government that its focus on job creation to improve the economy has not haltered demonstrations in the capital city. Demonstrators have denounced the government’s economic policy and called for the resignation of the Prime Minister, Rene Preval. | en_US |
