. they were not as large as protests in many other parts of the world. but in cuba, where protests are very unusual, even a few 100 people is relatively large. the can, i wasn't referring to these, in fact, he's acknowledged while criticizing some of the protesters and saying that they were basically working in the interest in the united states or been paid by the united states. he also acknowledged a legitimate in satisfaction to the call that of, of many of these protesters as a result of the economic crisis in the country. i what he was referring to. ready as far as the, the fake news is that since sunday, the situation in cuba has been relatively calm and, and at least i have not been witnessed another protest. on monday, there was an event where a person was killed, although it's not clear what actually transpired there. but all over social media there have, there's sort of been

a media storm. a lot of it emanating from miami cuban americans, they're talking about protests all over the country. and a lot of this has been news. in fact, the day after the, the major project has protests on sunday. there was news going around that a common way, a province in central cuba had been liberated and that protested that taken over the province. and it didn't take long to find out that, that, that was not the case. so that's what he's referring to. we were mentioning earlier that there are just much of this was centering around the an anger of the shortage of basic goods. and you did say that the, to me got us can out even acknowledge that there was some legitimacy to that those problems clearly haven't gone away. is there any suggestion that we're going to see more protests in the coming days? it's we don't know it's we're an uncharted territory. what is, what i think is undeniable. busy is that the economic crisis here has driven the,

the pro test driven the anger and frustration. and that has 2 causes. one is us saying 2 principal causes one is us sanctions. and those don't seem to be going away anytime soon. biden has, is indicating he will continue the hard line position of trump and the, and the raft of sanctions. he impose the other thing that is really cause hardship here has been the pandemic. and that could improve soon all of the line and will be vaccinated by the end of the month. cuba has 2 of the 5 top vaccines as far as efficacy in the world. and they're rapidly back sending the population which could lead to opening up flights, tourism and more fertile foreign currency entering the country that could help alleviate the economic situation. but it will take some time for that to occur. where you, thanks very much indeed. read lindsey, talking to this and from have on a gonna stay international. it says about 200 people are still in jail. following
