Caribbean Report 03-01-1997

The first segment discusses the struggle between Republic Bank Limited and CLICO Insurance Company in Trinidad and Tobago giving the Chairman and Executive Director’s views on the financial bid. The following segment discusses the Helms-Burton Act between the US and Cuba in which US President Bill Clinton continues the freeze. The law penalises non-US companies that conduct business in Cuba and the report also examines the implication of the act on Cuba. The next segment reports on the International Campaign Greenpeace stance as the transhipment of nuclear waste is being shipped through the Caribbean. The upcoming general elections in St. Lucia and the important role youths would play in its outcome are also highlighted. The report concludes with the place of Caribbean speech in the English language and the Caribbean English recognition in the US.
