Abstract
Three political parties contest the general elections in the British Virgin Islands. Mike Jarvis reports on the incident-free polling day and the high turn out for the elections. Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Patrick Manning speaks on the currency exchange system, the major decision coming out of CARICOM Meeting in Belize. Barbadian lawyers are planning to take the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (WICB) to court over its decision to exclude opening batsman Desmond Haynes from the team to play Australia. The controversial decision triggered much debate on Barbadian call-in programmes and there are talks of a possible boycott of the Barbados leg of the Australian tour. West Indies selectors have announced that Richie Richardson will be back as captain for the four test series against Australia. Dwight Yorke, Aston Villa striker, has been given permission by Trinidad and Tobago to pull out of the Pan American Games in Argentina. Carol Orr speaks to Yorke about the concerns for racism on the soccer field and how it has affected his game. The segment ends with a quick review of the players for the Australian squad to tour the West Indies.
