In Haiti, fresh protests have broken out over a plan by Caribbean nations to revamp the country's leadership.

Demonstrators have tried to block busy streets in the capital Port-au-Prince. They say they are opposed to foreigners interfering in the country's politics. US and Caribbean officials want to appoint a new transitional government while Haiti's prime minister has promised to resign. 

Haiti is the Caribbean's third largest country and is bordered to the east by the Dominican Republic. It's no stranger to unrest, but with gangs now in control of much of the capital, there are fears the nation could spiral into a wider civil war.

For more on this, we talk to Haitian journalist and colleague Wethzer Piercin. We reach him in the city of Jacmel, 80 kilometres south of the capital Port-au-Prince.
