Abstract
The Bermudian government has allowed a ship traveling from the US to Israel to dock on its shores after reports of a bomb aboard. American Trade Representative Mickey Kantor announced plans for a possible trade embargo against countries supporting Europe's banana regime. Finance Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Wendell Mottley and Jamaica's Junior Trade Minister, Anthony Hilton supported a bill to grant Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) countries parity with the NAFTA Agreement. Jamaica's Deputy Police Commissioner, Leslie Harper has declined the position of Head of the Royal St. Kitts Police Force. Following three weeks of violence in the Jamaican inner city of Rema, Gary Alleyne reports on the peace efforts of Ms. Olivia Babsy Grange, a Jamaican Labour Party candidate and Shabba Ranks’ Manager. In Bermuda, the judicial status of the seven Under-23 soccer players charged with drug possession by US Authorities remains in legal limbo. The players agreed to plead 'no contest' to the charges but this legal plead is unknown to Bermuda and Commonwealth law. Guy Delage's historic swim has made the front pages of the Barbados press, local radio and television. However, in France, a ferocious media storm has whipped up questioning Delage's achievement.
