Good evening, here is the 10 o’clock news for today, Monday November 25th.
There has been more trouble today at the Plastic Box Factory in Washdon, where a demonstration 1 by environmentalists has now been going on for nearly six months. Fighting broke out between demonstrators and the police during a meeting outside the factory, and a number of people were hurt, including two policemen. The speaker at the meeting, Ms. Annie Peters, daughter of the drugs case millionaire 2, Hugo Peters, who died in Trinidad four years ago, was arrested and taken to the Washdon Police. Department for questioning. Ms. Pters was allowed to go free and when one of our reporters spoke 3 to her, she had this to say:” The reason why I was arrested was that the police, together with the newspapers and the TV companies, want to put an end to our demonstration. This is because they are all supporting the Plastic Box Company in their war against the planet 4.” In any case, the demonstration continues, and tomorrow the Minister for the Environment will be having a meeting with the directors 5 of the Plastic Box Company.
