Resumen

This program reports on the political climate in Trinidad and Tobago in the wake of the split in the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR) Coalition, and the formation of a new political party known as Club 88. The program also takes a look at the state of the economy of Trinidad and Tobago and the tough political and economic issues facing the A.N.R Robinson administration. Finally, BBC correspondent Hugh Crosskill examines the atmosphere at cricket grounds during test matches between the West Indies and England. The contentious issue of West Indies supporters’ exuberance and the level of noise that they make during the matches is discussed, along with measures taken to control the noise.
