dc.description.tableofcontents4. After a day when the Presidential statement is plastered on the front pages of the newspapers and the political directorate of Trinidad and Tobago has gone quiet, selecting the statements carefully. “One newspaper reports the constitutional impasse in Port-of-Spain gets worse. Another calls it the clash of the giants. Yesterday President Arthur Robinson demanded an apology from the Prime Minister and the Attorney-General”. Meanwhile the President remains adamant in refusing to follow the advice of the Prime Minister to revoke the appointment of two Senators from Tobago (05:50-08:36)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents5. Voter registration challenges in Haiti could lead to scheduled elections on the March 19 being postponed. Voters across the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince were unable to obtain voter cards. The period for registration was scheduled to have begun on the 20th January but has been put off for a week. Michael Norton reported that very few of the offices were ready to handle voter registration. (08:37-11:38)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents6. The propaganda between Miami exiles and the Cuban government over the future of Elian Gonzalez heats up today as court documents are made public.
