dc.description.abstractPresident Bill Clinton visits Latin America and the Caribbean. The American leader is in Mexico where his meeting with leader Ernesto Zedillo led to agreement on stepped up action against drug traffickers and cross border illegal immigration. Next, Jamaica and the United States have signed what Jamaica has described as an acceptable form of the shiprider agreement. Jamaica has previously resisted the measure which is broadly designed to allow the US Coast Guard to pursue suspected drug traffickers into the territorial waters of the signatory country. Next, as Haiti seeks immediate foreign aid to deal with the major famine caused by drought in the North-West of the country the government says it is hoping for long term help from the English speaking Caribbean. Next, Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister is in Venezuela seeking better relations between Trinidadian fishermen and Venezuela’s National Guard. He was scheduled to meet with his Venezuelan counterpart Rafael Caldera. Next, in Guyana one thousand ladybird beetles have arrived in the country to help in the biological control of the pink mealybug which has now reached that country. Next, Cuba has opened its first free trade zone just outside the capital Havana. The impact it will have on the country’s tax system is examined. Finally, the polls in Britain saw the election of one new black MP. She was elected to represent the ethnically diverse community of Bethnal Green and Bow. This election saw more black candidates all across the political spectrum than exclusively the Labour Party. It is believed that this is a good thing because the black communities overwhelming support of the Labour Party has not helped them.en_US
