Next, the Opposition Party in Trinidad and Tobago, the People’s National Movement move to expel one of its members of parliament. Mr. Vincent Lasse, defects to the government's side and declares himself an independent. However, hours later he is sworn in as a minister in the coalition government. Next, a report by the United Nations says that the Caribbean’s delicate environment is being harmed by the illegal discharge of industrial waste. Next, a spokesman for United States Senator Jesse Helms says that Senator Helms’ approval of a proposal to greatly expand the number of media outlets in Cuba, is aimed at breaking the information monopoly of the government of President Fidel Castro. Next, the hope of a more efficient flow of aid from the British government to Montserrat is resting on the Duke of York, Prince Andrews’ visit to the island. Next, in Britain today a unanimous verdict of unlawful killing was handed down by the jury of the inquest into the death of black teenager, Stephen Lawrence.
