dozen times.red the a released a statement about the killing of the policemen, making reference to the deaths of eric garner and michael brown. it underscores the dangers. as a nation we must not forget in. reverent sharpton issued a statement daying: -- saying:

reaction from the brooklyn new york community has been outrage, many called the shooting senseless. >> this is senseless behaviour by anyone. >> at the end of the day two families are sad for the holidays. >> what are we, it doesn't happen like this, who does this. >> the police investigation is ongoing. >> bill bratton said several times during the press conference. there was no indication. this is the 7th time since 1972 that the police partners had been murdered in new york city. thank you very much. >> cuban president. our people must understand that the announced changes will require a long and hard fight

which will require the participation of the international community and the american society. while the cuban leader welcomed the american's embrace, he promised to repair the ideology. >> this is a very anticipated speech by the u.s. president. this is the second time we heard from them since the big announcement on wednesday. this will be a relationship between cuba and the united states and the new diplomatic ties. he said that any change here in cuba would happen on cuba's terms and nobody else's. that was indicating that he planned to keep the respect for the cuban people, and for decision making on how cuba decides to carry on economic diplomatic changes in the future, very much in a cuban way. so he really was reaching out

and saying that - looking for respect, and it was a speech very much for an international audience and a domestic audience in cuba. throwing a little bit of cold water on expectations here that there might be a rapid change in the island, which won't happen, it will take some time. >> translation: we can't pretend that by improving ties for the united states, cuba will renounce the ideas for which it fought, for which its people shed a lot of blood. >> the cuban president as well brought up the issue of cuban american community in the united states, especially the hard-line anti-cuba focus who are in florida. they potentially might try to stab tij the process going forward. there's a lot of - no love loss between that group and a lot of

cuban leadership here, and there'll be a lot of opposition in the u.s. congress to this moving forward as well. here is a little more of what raul castro had to say about that today. >> translation: we do not ignore the virulent criticisms that president obama endured because of the set announcements by forces opposed to the normalization of cuba. including of cuban origin. >> on the streets in havana and over cuba, i can tell you that there is a lot of anticipation of what this change really is going to mean. after a few days now people on the streets are starting to think about where does this go to from here. and raul castro's address to the nation was mostly meant to remind cubans that this very much is a country where change comes very slowly. nevertheless there is is air of optimism and real excitement

that is building, and - about how this new relationship between the u.s. and cuba could have real benefits for many of the cuban people here on the ground on this island nation. miami - protesters voicing opposition to the new policy towards cuba. cuban american politicians in miami say they see the u.s. resto restoring communications with cuba as a betrayal. >> the blame is solely placed on the castro brothers. >> i'm tired of the administration sitting at the table with our worst enemies all over the globe apologising for the united states a poll shows cuban americans divided over the policy. the poll shows:

. >> stay tuned, more on the shift in policy and diplomacy between the u.s. and cuba in our deeper look segment in just a few minutes four detainees have been released from guantanamo bay detention center. they'll return to afghanistan, their home country. they were held at guantanamo for more than a decade over alleged ties. the lawyers argue that the claims could not be substantiated. the men are expecting to be reunited with families in the future. a tunisian man was released this month. he told al jazeera he never doubted that he would be released. eventually. >> i learnt a lot from my experience in guantanamo bay. i was surrounded by lies, from lawyers to integrators and

guards. we were hardwired not to believe anyone. i no longer believe it unless i see it with my own eyes. i did not believe i would be coming here unless i landed. i expect to change my mind at any point while i was on board. as a muslim i have deep faith in god. i'm not worried about the future. i served 13 years in guantanamo, for better and for worse. >> according to the human rights group reprieve the u.s. acknowledged holding 779 at the camp. there's 132 detainees left, the lowest number since the prison opened in 2002. 63 of whom are cleared for release, but u.s. authorities say they can't send them home because of security concerns or home countries are unwilling to take them back. 52 countries openly accepted guantanamo detainees. 10 were transfirmed to unnamed

locations. earlier i spoke to an attorneyy for one man, abdul ghani, and arrived what is next. >> once the men return home they'll be released forthwith to their families, and not have to serve additional time in gaol. abdul ghani, my client, was cleared for release in 2009. the unfortunate thing is being cleared he had to languish in guantanamo bay for four years. during that time his mother died. we welcome what the obama administration have done, but hope it will be sped up so more can do the same was what abdul ghani did. >> it's a long amount of time and a lot of things change over the course of 10 years. this is the first return of prisoners to a war torn country since 2009. why the change now.

as the united states winds down, justification for holding the men seems to be waning. it seems to terminate after the end of cessation of hostilities in afghanistan. that's one big part. another is that we have established that the allegations were completely wrong in very many ways, and luckily the united states agreed with us and acknowledged that they couldn't proceed in any courtroom in the united states. >> that was ltcol barry win guard for detainee abdul ghani on friday north korea said fbi's sony cyber attack evidence pointed to north korea. north korea offered to vet unfounded rumours spread by the united states.

an entertainment attorney weighed in on the cyber attack. >> this is an interesting situation in that the studio is decided to pull the release. it's interesting because when they announce that they weren't going to exhibit. they said they had no plans for distribution. when the president made the comments. the response was we are exploring alternative distribution channels. this is perhaps a collective failure to stand up to a rogue regime making a threat on u.s. soil. the damage inflicted in terms of a cyber attack is not press dented. koreans launched a similar attack on south korea. the finger prints are similar in that it was broadcasters and banks. unlike the typical cyber thief who takes the information.

they wiped out information on the servers. you have reputational damage, lost information. sensitive scripts. a warning from the state department. they are urged to be extra cautious. a world-wide travel alert was issued. terrorist groups can pose threats. it's subjected that the attacks occur in hotels, schools. president barack obama, his family and the two dogs landed in hawaii. the tropical visit to the president's childhood home is a tradition. they are expected to stay in hawaii for two years. islanders have a few chances to spot the first family during their stay coming up, a shift in cuba

u.s. relations. we take a deemer look at that next. plus rebecca. we'll check in with her shortly, and a multibillion canal is set to break grouped. more on the chinese businessman behind the project

welcome back, tonight we take a deeper look at america's relationship with cuba. ties with cuba and the rest of the world are fairly norm. it's a dramatic shift for the united states. president obama announced that he plans to ease the trade embargo. new polls show cuban americans are split on the support for the plan. andy gallagher has more on the divide from miami's little havana. [ singing ] >> reporter: in miami's most vibrant cuban neighbourhood,

it's business as usual. eighth street in little havana is a population for the world's tourist. events are never far from the minds of those that live and work here. eric moved to miami from cuba when he was three. much of his family, including sister and grandparents are on the island. he'll be able to travel to cuba more often and send four times as much money to his relatives as before. he's concerned with bigger issues. can they speak freely. can they have culture, their own life. you can't say what you think. you can't aspire to go with your own home, unless you have an american family, nothing is happening. >> reporter: across town, the monumental changes are the subject of debate. this man who owns this cafe says customers have such opposing

views on the u.s.'s approach, he has seen old friends fall out. >> people that have been eating breakfast for over 20 years side by side felt a little eated. >> amongst the miami's younger generation, the changes are viewed differently. many campaign groups fought for closer tie, and claim the majority of cuban americans welcome a new approach. >> by and large the changes in our policy, so that we can increase the flow of contacts and resources to the cuban people is seen as something favourable. >> normalizing relations was never going to be an easy transmission. especially the older generation. the demographic changes led to new opinions, and an acceptance that change might be worth a chance. this is the biggest shift in u.s. policy to cuba, but it is a

deeply divisive issue. many don't want to accept a change at all. others are waiting and hoping to see what the future might bring to discuss this further, let's fringe in ted, professor, and eric langer, professor of history and director of the masters programme for latin american studies. i thank both of you. i'm start with you, because you are here with me. why new? >> why now. if obama had his way, he would have done this a while ago. in 2009 alan gross was arrested in havana. i think also why now is that we had an election that the democrats lost hand illy, and i think president obama doesn't have anything to lose. he's thinking about his legacy. finally, he said in the speech that it's the right thing to do,

and in that sense, that's lot of things that have been happening the last five years in cuba, that are marginal to the fundamental human rights, civic rights, but economic changes have been happening on the island, and this is a way to encourage those, capitalise on those and reach out to the cuban people, entrepreneurs. >> we'll talk about the economics of it in a moment. >> do you agree with the reasons, would you like to add something to the list? >> yes. i think that this in many way assist a surrender of the cuban government to new political economic facts, and i think the most important thing is the - one of the many things that's occurring as a result of the drop in the price of oil. venezuela was paying cuba - was giving cuba oil at low prices,

which they were reselling, and the cubans have seen the writing on the wall. venezuelan's economy is such a mess, there's no way they'll support cuba any more. so the cubans decided to cut their losses, and findly make the deal with the united states. that's the way i see it. >> do you think it's - this weakens the cuban government. oirnt marco rubio said that this is a myth that this will help cubans, it will be manipulated by the regime to maintain power. >> of course it will be manipulated by the cuban regime to maintain power. that's what they wnt. i don't think they'll accomplish that. none of us know the future. we know the past. the embargo has not worked. why not try something else. in terms of throttling the cuban economy, in the sense that was already tried and didn't work

out when the u.s.s. r failed in 1991 and cuba went through a special period. the regime did not crumble at that poi. in fact, it gave them reason to repress more. so i don't see that that was, you know, keeping the embargo up was really something that would be positive for the cuban people. >> professor, let's talk about the cuban people. the cuban american community here, and they are kind of split, but leaning more towards not approving this, and there's cubans. who is gal going to benefit from this -- actually going to benefit from this - the cuban people, or big business? >> i think actuality the cuban american community leans slightly the other way. recent polls. >> split. >> now that president obama has done it, maybe the vote, you know - i don't know, i think that they are split. >> it's a generational split, if

i cap get in there. >> absolutely. you had rick there in miami, pointing out some of the splits. there were a number of new groups in miami. a number of groups that think that the way to change cuba is through principled engagement. as eric said the isolationist approach has not worked. in cuba, how will this affect the cuban people. i think that the cuban government. we saw them doing a cheer-leading thing, and castro is saying hey, we are not changing the system. but we'll have a respectful relationship to the united states. we have to keep our eye on the ball. that was the justification that president obama used in the speech. how are the cuban people going to be affected. there's a number of ways. number one, imagine six months from now when at&t gets the permission to offer data plans.

other companies can tell cellphones. the onus will be to say we'll work with you and we'll expand broadband, or it will carry the burden of being itself. the obstacle. the embargo. another area is entrepreneurialship. i published a book. the numbers of entrepreneurs grow. many of those people need imports, to fund the business. if you have a bed and breakfast. you buy mattresses and food. all of that could come from the united states and empower those people. >> if you can get in here. basically they are saying that business will be flocking to cuba. do you agree with that or do you think some businesses will be

hesitant. businesses will be hesitant as long as cuba is designated a sponsor of terrorism. that creates many financial, you know, paperwork requirements and things like that. until that is lifted, which is something president barack obama promised to look at and will change. >> it's a lengthy process to normalize relationship. this is a process. absolutely. i think you are absolutely right. we can talk about what will happen, we don't really know, and it's a process, and it's a process that both the united states and certainly the scooub yp government will manage carefully to get the maximum advantage each party. hopefully in the end that will come down to the benefit of the cuban people. the one thing that is important

to point out is that the cuban government has been able to get away with economic mismanagement. saying that it's all the fault of the embargo, now they don't have that excuse. as a result also, you'll see - you know, there'll have to be more accountability by the cuban government for their economic mistakes in particular, and that will become more evidence. in that way also, the cuban government is gambling really, really big, whereas the united states has nothing to lose. that is really something to think about when you - you know, when you think about the bottom line. >> you said, in fact, that the electoral balance for the elections will change in the u.s. can you expand on that a little bit? >> yes. in fact, cuban americans in miami for long time have held a stranglehold on u.s. presidential elections. they have asserted that if you

don't support the embargo as a result, and the diplomatic cut off of cuba, then we will make sure that your opponent gets the votes of florida, because miami is an important part of florida votes, and cuban americans are sprinkled throughout the state. cuban men's do not have the same kind of electoral or political clout like before. that's a reason why senator mark marco rubio is complaining loudly precisely because he is losing and the people he's associated with will lose about 80% of the power they wielded up to now in u.s. politics. i think that is something that is important to take into account for presidential politics. it's - that's, i think, used to be a very important consideration. it's not any more now. and i think that's really important.

although obviously it's been trending towards a younger cuban americans as we talked about, not wanting to maintain the embargo. that's been going away anyway. now, clearly off the table and suddenly the whole electoral ball game for presidential politics is shifting for sure. that is exciting. >> obviously when this development came up, let's be honest, top of mind for some americans was the tourism aspect of it, right. cuba has been a major - havana, that is, in part because of the cuban capital is less than 300 miles from miami. for more on what the new policy could mean, let's look at courtney kealy's report. >> reporter: the announcement to re-establish relations with the u.s. doesn't suddenly lift a ban on u.s. tourism, but gives hope to airlines, hotel chains and cruise companies that the tourism business could be booming in the caribbean

country. >> there's no question that this is a multibillion opportunity that many countries will benefit from. >> despite the ban, 124,000 americans were authorised to travel to cuba. travel arrangements must comply with the rules of the u.s. foreign assets control, and american debit and credit cards cannot be used. american airlines ran travel to cuba and operates 20 flights from miami and tampa to cuban cities. jet blue started to fly cuban charters three years ago and has three weekly flights. airlines would need a bilateral agreement between u.s. and cuba to open up more flights. north korea and cuba are the only two countries in the world where coca-cola is not sold. coca-cola will not invest soon.

>> i don't think it's necessary for it to become a playground just a gambling hub. it can offer more. it doesn't have to be what tv. there's a lot more to cuba for americans to see. >> american tourists in havana welcomed the re-establishment of diplomatic ties much the one change for licensed travellers, they'll be able to return to the u.s. with $400 in cuban goods, which will include bringing cuban cigars legally to the u.s. >> we can bring it back. have it on the golf course and have a wonderful relationship with all of cuba. looking forward to the day, and hopefully it's around the corner. >> the u.s. will run an embassy in the coming months. okay, professors, back to professor hankin on the set.

cuba and tourism - how do you see it playing out. there's a lot of information in courtenay's report making it seem like it would be gradual. >> cuba started to open up to tourism after it basically banned tourism after the revolution, around 1990. it has been growing since then. cuba said we have to figure out a way to survive during the special period and courted foreign hotel chains, spanish and have built up the prur. one interesting angle is the government over the last two years started to not only allow, but promote and include in the contract private bed and breakfasts and private restaurants - these are palalarays. home-based restaurants, started to include them in tourist packages or make contracts and deals, so that a tour bus can

stop at a private restaurant. when we talk about tourism going to cuba, an interesting thing to look at is how it can benefit the small microentrepreneurs trying to make a buck, trying to get more autonomy, build the business, live a better life. there'll be a trickle effect. not all the people go in. in the past, when the united states had a lot of control, and the people have to be on rigid tours, they don't have - seven though the idea is having people to people contact, they don't have a lot of real contact. just like the cuban government. the u.s. government want to do that. this opening the gates and letting americans go there and learn for themselves will be positive economically. culturally and socially. let's pick up on that point. a woman interviewed in the

report. there's so much more. it's not just going for casinos. could this be an opportunity for americans to learn about the culture. >> yes, i think so. there was morph louse opportunities here. i mean, there's some dark sides of cuba and cuban tourism. there's a lot of prostitution, and things like that, it is one of the most crime-free tourist areas in the world right now, and in that sense i think that's really good. i suspect that eventually it may take tourism away from the state of florida. you don't get the cold spells, it's warm in havana. that actually might change, you know, the economic complexion of tourism in the united states.

>> the discussion will continue for weeks, months and years to come as we figure out what the effect will be. professors, thank you gentlemen, both. >> pleasure oil prices are plummeting. many governments are scrambling to adjust. we'll take a look at the g geopolitics surrounding the drastic drop on "the week ahead". join us tomorrow 8:30 eastern, 5:30 pacific, keep it here. we'll be right

the pentagon says it's making gains against i.s.i.l., at a heavy cost. the cost of coalition against iraq and syria topped $1 billion meanwhile, video uploaded to the internet on friday shows i.s.i.l. forces targetting sites in syria's northern region of aleppo, and parading a man taped to a cross, reportedly executed

afterwards. iraq kurdish peshmerga fighters are battling. we have the latest on the two fronds on the offensive against i.s.i.l. >> kurdish forces on the offensive determined it secure the gain stay against i.s.i.l. in the sinjar mountains, the retaking of a town is the latest victory, at the foot of the mountains. it's where 1,000 families from the yazidi community are taking refuge. they've been under siege. the retaking of the town by the kurdish fighters means they can return to their homes. i.s.i.l. fighters dispute the peshmerga's claim. pesh kurdish forces claim to have gained territory along the route to the mountains.

>> this is an operation under the auspices of the president ashraf ghani himself, to move all the way to mt sinjar, to liberate a vast area of kurdistan, and rescue those yazidi people that are trapped on the mountain. >> kurdish forces say they gained nearly 700 square kilometres along the route. >> this opens a way for families to leave. they have to navigate through landmines planted by i.s.i.l. fighters. this is the village. about 50km from sinjar. houses and bullet-riddled walls are everywhere. evidence of the fierce fighting that took place here. kurdish forces say they are marching to i.s.i.l.'s main military base, through the city of tal afar. there's a limit, they say, to what they can achieve on their

own. >> we do not want the peshmerga to be the only ones going into the area to have political ramifications. liberation of mosul requires participation of arab forces, particularly the iraqi government military. more tan than 8,000 peshmerga were involved. knowing how i.s.i.l. could change the tactics in the battlefield. the fight for sinjar could be far from over. >> on the other front line of ramadi the battle for the city is more intense. parts of the city lie in ruins, the result of shelling for most of the last year. air strikes caused damage here. like the rest of anbar province, there are battles on the city's deserted streets, between

militia's loyal to i.s.i.l. and the government forces. troops from the golden battalion are leading the onslaught from the government side. many people displaced by the party. the forces argue that most houses are used by i.s.i.l., or are laden with explosives. those who own the houses know it will take a long time for the fighting to stop. and longer before they return to their homes. israeli forces carried out an air stripe in the gaza strip. war planes hit hamas in response to a rocket fire from gaza early friday. it's the first actions since israel and hamas agreed to a truce if august. it ended 7 weeks of fighting, killing 2200, the vast majority palestinian civilians, including

500 children. on monday. the ground-breaking project in nicaragua, a $50 billion waterway to rival the panama canal, linking the oceans and built as a way to lift nicaragua out of poverty. it's part of china's plan to expand its influence around the world. >> reporter: the businessman behind the deal tends to keep a low public profile. he made a fortune in mining and telecommunications, but has no experience with a large infrastructure project. he insists he doesn't have a political background yet the company's website boasts of his links to government leaders. whatever the true nature of the relationship, the deal is strategic for china. >> this promote is not just a canal, it's about poise, airports, and it will create a lot of jobs for the local

people. they'll definitely benefit from it. >> this week china signed another contract that it says will create jobs and help one more small economy. this time in europe, the project to fund and build the new highway in monten egg roe, the cost over $1 billion, small change compared to china's investments elsewhere in the world. a state-owned company signed off on a $12 million contract to expand with a high train service. the problem is not money, but cooperation with local people. >> when china proposes all the institutions it has to have the capacity ni to interact with the local community and indigenous groups. that's the challenge for beijing. many of china's projects are strategic. it's working with pakistan to develop a port linked to china

by road and rail. president xi jinping is encouraging the expansion to give access to resources that china needs to build growth and infrastructure projects are thrown in as part of the deal. the most important is perhaps the plan to reconstruct the ancient silk road trade group, linking china and europe by new highways. how does the chinese government pay? it's sitting on savings of more than $4 trillion 40,000 children in new zealand are suffering hunger. a charity is stepping in to solve the problem. a gang with a violent history. wane hay was the story from the north island. >> reporter: it's the first thing in the morning. the gang members are b busy at

work. there's nothing illicit, just an operation to feed the children. >> members of this tribal gang meet at a home to make 500 sandwiches to develop to schools around the province. the idea came from the leader who remembers what it was like to go without. >> if the kids grow up hungry they don't have a good start in life. you want what someone else has got and animosity is born. >> by 9am in the morning, jamie hits the road, saluted by the members, known as the sandwich gang. on his tour he stops at 25 schools and handdelivers lunches that will be given to children who go to school with nothing. new zealand's economy is doing better than most. at the same time there is a growing feeling that the gap between rich and poor is getting wider. and there's discussion around the issue of hungry children and poverty in general.

>> the government in partnership with the private center introduced a programme providing breakfast to schoolchildren. >> it should be the parents' responsibility, and we shouldn't resile from that. parents have a responsibility to make sure children go to school having had breakfast and something for lump. jamie's operation is growing all the time, despite they are made by a gang. the sandwiches are welcome. we look at a group of people committed ensuring that children were given every opportunity. most of the school comes from donations. the gang came from several small farms. looking good. you are going a good job. >> reporter: jamie says critics used to recruit mam bers are wrong. >> kids want to say thank you, and they have a full tummy,

that's enough for us. >> they want to do some good, and give children something he and many of his members never had coming up on al jazeera, schools in several u.s. cities are closing early for christmas break, hoping to slow down the spread of the flu. over the hill and through the woods. there's so much rain on the west coast. incoming snow for the midwest. coming up, we look at where we could have a white christmas.

the worst ebola outbreak on record killed 7,000 people across west africa, leaving thousands without parents. in sierra leone, victims are struggling to find homes, in some cases surviving relatives refuse to care for orphans, because of fears they could catch the deadly virus.

>> we had an experience, we collect from kids. they said he's not going to sit in the car. the child was a survivor of ebola. >> more than 30 children are at the orphanage, many losing most of their relatives. according to the latest estimates from the center for disease control and prevention, liberia has the most deaths, over 3300. guinea and sierra leone have 4,000 ebola fatalities, bringing a number of deaths, with the worst outbreaks to 7400. >> flu season is shaping up to be one of the worst. according to the c.d.c. it's widespread in 14 states. the midwest and state hardest hit. private and public schools - they start christmas early, as many as 30% of students and staff have been out sick. i.s.i.l., and ohio, some schools were shut down to disinfect.

half of the flu cases were caused by a mutated strain of the virus which the vaccine cannot prevent. it works getting a flu shot. it offers protection against other strains that are more prevalent in the coming becks. the worst of the season is not expected until jan or february. >> rebecca stevenson is here now with the weather. a lot of important dates coming up. >> christmas eve. christmas lights are out. we were talking about how the neighbourhoods from space - they get brighter and brighter, up to 50%. with all the holiday lights outside. now we are talking about winter time starting. that is tomorrow. sunday, december 21st. now, nor the eastern time it will start at 6:03, and as we talk about pacific time, all the rain fall - that'll be closer to 3:03 in the afternoon. looking at the atmospheric

river. look at this. this guy is stirring all the way down around hawaii. all the moisture is streaming up along the jet stream, focussing on the west coast, slamming into oregon, where we had the coast range, reporting rain totals in a 24 hour period. up to 5 inches. we have a lot of problems with flooding. we have flood warnings impacting. also stretching over into central oregon are the flood watches. we have highway 101, big problems, a lot of rock slides and mudslides have been reported. and we have a picture from highway 101. this is north of florence oregon, and it is closed. you have to find another route. because it will cause a problem for the coastline problem. there's a lot of damage to the roads and also the retaining structures. there's not an estimate at this time when it will be repaired. it will take a lot of work.

an inch of rain for portland. three-quarters for seattle and these are areas protected by what the coastal range provide, keeping them trier inland. you don't have it now, you are getting all the rain funnelling in. that atmospheric river is like a fire hose pointed at you. flood watches in idaho, montana and wyoming. coming down as heavy snow. snow levels are lifting up, adding to the flooding. big problems. let's go into the middle of the week of the let's talk holiday. driving over the hills, through the woods. grandmother's house - a lot of snow and cold win, temperatures plummeting and we'll see the cold winds drop how it feels outside in the teens. midweek not only do we get a storm in the pacific north-west.

but we'll see snow cover. it will be a white christmas. >> makes the kids happy. >> that's for sure. >> when we come back, how the future of fix projectionists are fading to black. and 103 years old, the golfer that can hit a hole in one.

for nearly a century hollywood movies were synonymous with film. not now, most use digital formats. some are trying to save film and preserve hollywood history. >> reporter: it's old-fashioned technology in a digital age. handling reels of 35mm

fascinates this woman. jobs like hers, as a movie projectionist, are rare. >> i've been doing this for 10 years, it's becoming more interesting in that time frame because, you know, film production is basically obsolete in that time. >> until recently this is how all movies were seen. 95% of u.s. theatres have converted to digital projectors, cutting down on shipping and labour costs. >> if something needs to be changed at the last minute, it can get into the theatre a lot quicker than getting a reel, having a professional in-house spool it through, run it and dismantle it at the end, ship is back to the studios. >> this manhattan theatre dusted off projectors for the space odyssey interstellar. the movie was released early to

theatres that showed it on film, at the insistence of its director. the quality of digital improves, nolan and others insist analogue is a superior format. >> watching a movie on film is a rare street. preserved for museums like this one. and art house theatres. digital formats have their limitations. especially when it comes to preservation, say industry insiders. the criterion is a company which specialises in restoring analogue films to digital for the home movie market. >> let's say you should have filmed digitally and your hard drive doesn't work, which happens a lot. how many times would you put in a drive that doesn't work. your computer doesn't read it. film will work. it's a responsibility of institutions to put pressure on

distributors or making prints, like museums and archives. they have to den manned it. like this is important. what the audience they want to see. without the pressure, it risks being left on the cutting room floor a florida man broke a national record becoming the oldest golfer to make a home in one. he is 103 years old. he started playing goal informant 1920s. -- in the 1920, and is celebrating his eighth hole in one. when asked if he plans to retire, he said he plans to stay the course. >> golf has been good to me all the years. outside of three years in service, it's been my life. doesn't look a day over 75. he hit his first hole in one in 1939, but finds the accomplishment special - because it is. thank you for joining us. i'm richelle carey in new york.
