mexico border has gone up 6 times since last year. the congressman spoke with cuban president miguel diaz canal leaders of congress and the foreign minister. michael shifts or is the senior fellow at inter american dialogue, a think tank, focusing on latin american, the caribbean. he says the us on cuba have to cover a lot of ground for any effects on migration to be felts. well, this is a huge issue and it's a historic issue. it goes back many, many decades. and obviously there have been moments when that trust is really a serious attempt to overcome it in the opening under president obama. but then with president trump, the trust obviously deepened as president biden really hasn't made any significant changes to the trump policy on the margins here and there. but fundamentally, the, the sanctions, very tough sanctions that were put in place under, under trump, a have remained. and of course, there's the historic embargo or blockade of cuba,

which is an act of congress. and i think there was an expectation when there was the opening in 2015 and with the obama that there would be a move towards greater political reform and economic reform in cuba. and, and greater attention to, to human rights. and if anything, the opposite that has happened, there's been increased repression. and there have been some demonstrations in protest in cuba that have been put down and squashed. and so. ready the cubans haven't helped having given the u. s. anything that would be helpful in terms of making a shift in policy is different shift, which would help alleviate some of the acute a, you know, humanitarian conditions in cuba, where remains of 53 people killed during spain. civil war have been examined and

a record of exactly where you've gone and prevented you in many cases from being able to travel from one province to another, which has been especially a big deal for chinese families who are trying to reconnect over the lunar new year holidays. now those are coming in just around 6 weeks time at the end of january, and it could be the 1st time and almost 3 years that many families are going to be able to get back together without any kind of cobit 19 hurdles. guessing in the way, so that's pretty how big a deal with his average chinese citizen, this app is being dismantled when effectively no longer be a requirement for people who are trying to move from one province to another. or in some cases, just go in and out of major cities like beijing, as part of a series of efforts from the government in recent days to basically dismantle their so called 0 cove, its strategy and try and open up society once again. the amount of things you can now do in daily life, in china, into electric and also here in hong kong, has now become much, much easier. this of course, comes after a very rare and even unprecedented set of protests calling for an end to these

regulations on the street from the public. and in some cases, even calling for the resignation of president, she, jim ping this type of social pressure really unheard of in this modern age with the way that the communist party has been ruling china. but there are concerns that despite all of this opening up making life much easier. there are also concerns, of course, of what could be a spike encoded 19 cases on potentially in depth and international health experts. a warning that china may not be prepared for these farmers and traders and have gone, astonish, struggling to find international buyers for their suffering. the space is a major source of income, and farmers say output has increased significantly this year. but sales have been difficult since countries several times would have gone on on the taliban return to power last year. probably metal has more. it's just it's been a bumper season for saffron group say the weather conditions in western of gone. it's dawn, our ideal for cultivation. international agencies have trained farmers for years
