The BBC has replaced Alistair Cooke’s Letter From America with a programme called A View From (see Team ‘replaces’ Cooke’s Letter), and one of the new correspondents is Therese Mills, editor of Trinidad and Tobago newspaper Newsday.

Ms Mills’ first letter was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 this morning, and literally told the story of a political storm in a Trinidad teacup. You can listen to it here for the next seven days.
