5:15 am
a 1000000 cubans to migrate just one country. why they're leaving the country economic situation, primarily, the backdrop is a highly inefficient century find economy one of the last in the world. but in recent years, the island has been hit by the 12 punch of the pandemic. and us sanctions, us functions rushed up to unprecedented levels under the trump administration, lawsuit largely left in place by the current by the ministration and upon them it has crushed tourism revenues. one statistic to make the point about how bad things over the last 3 is foreign currency inflows. the amount of money coming into the country has been cut almost in half. that less money for food, less money for medicine and less money just to keep the lights on. people are fucking up. i mean, it's very sad because if a country doesn't have a new generation to take the baton over from the old generation. well, there is nothing, it's empty, we're going to go through and that's the problem is there is
5:16 am
a lot of cost. if you work hard, you can buy anything, everything very expensive. we work too much and too little people know me going to those that leave leave out of economic necessity. i work, but my salad is not enough to get by. the economy minister today suggested that there are reasons to be hopeful and there's some green shoots in the economy and said, the government is doing all it can to address the chronic power cuts that still affect millions of people on the island every single day. here and have a blue boats with about 10 cubans washed up along the shore. i don't if you can see behind me, but it's currently being pulled away by the cuban coast guard vessel that says it all. and 2 people see real improvements in their lives until people see a reason to say, hundreds of thousands of people are going to continue making that treacherous danny, with united states. so we're going to speak now to joe garcia. he's a former us congressmen and joins us live now from miami. thanks very much for being with us. so we've just been hearing there about what's driving this,
5:17 am
this big spike in, in migration from cuba. so how much of a challenge then is this for the united states and what do you think the government there should do about it? but clearly, it's not much of a challenge for united states. the reality is you're, you're getting top tier immigration to some degree, or this is about a they talk about a quarter 1000000, but it's probably a little bit smaller than that. but these are highly educated. they have their there, they have a community already year. that is acculturated, and so the, the, they begin then they be, they in grass into the community. and because the american economy right now are so strong, we need the workforce. all that said, it's still huge green on the country and it's a huge drain. because a lot of the local politicians are very anti immigration,
5:18 am
so she'll clearly cuba gotta do something to solve it, to close. it is a driver that is bringing these folks here. but there has been argued the u. s. policy itself towards the island is helping fuel the, the very migration crisis that we're talking about here that the administration is now is now dealing with what's your view on that? there is no question that us sanctions have a part to play. also, the cuban leadership has a responsibility. clearly they know where the united states stands. they've got a little bit under a 1000 people that are in jail from the j 11 movement last year, which were the demonstrations against the government. the u. s. government has been very clear as, as, as others who've been speaking with them, that the 1st step comes with releasing some of these political prisoners. so the united states can find the reasons to move forward. there is no question that cuba
5:19 am
being on the terrace, this is, is an anachronism right now. but what is clear is that this is a country that has severe human rights issues. and one of the ways to, to deal with that is to be forthright. and to deal with the us request as well as the cuban american communities request to, to let go some of these people. i believe that the biden administration is very interested in moving forward towards a more productive policy. but those that have literally been standing in the way that is the cuban government. and the perfect example of it is that earlier this month you had high level officials from the state department visiting too. but, and when they tried to meet with the family members of the j 11 detainees, they were blocked by the government and somewhere arrested, which makes absolutely no sense at a time where us state department as well as the m. s. c. and, and,
5:20 am
and other branches of us government have said that they're willing to, to make some type of agreement to move forward on a better relationship. well, what, what form do you think that better relationship should take? you said that you believe the biden administration is moving towards a more productive relationship. but more specifically, what would that involve in your view? well, you've seen the by ministration. make the 1st steps right? reopened up direct travel. we've expanded travel beyond the van today, there are somewhere between 15 and 19 flight today from the united states to cuba and back. we've opened up by remittances. we've allowed us business to begin the process of investing in the newly created females, which are small and medium sized businesses in cuba. and i think the u. s. government is prepared to go much further. but clearly, when you've got
5:21 am
a country which has got a long history of human rights abuses, and when you see that, that country been when given the opportunity steps in the opposite direction, 11 has to ask the question, or are they serious about reform? because if they are serious about reforms, there are many people in the united states beginning with myself who are advocating to have a more productive engagement. cuba particularly considering the circumstances because people are under right now. and clearly, one of the great fears that many of us have your, your guy ad that mentioned in his report, you're talking about that in the last 3 years, cube has lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 to 6 percent of a productive population. if you look at that from a broader context, this represents almost a demographic time mom to future cubans to be in ability of having worked already to but is one of the oldest countries in the world and,
5:22 am
and it's getting older because it's working class people are trying to find any way they can to lee could to talk to you from a us congressman joe garcia. thanks for being with us. thank you for having me. how belgian police have rated more european parliament offices as the legislatures president vowed to launch an internal investigation into corruption allegations? roberta met solar says there will be no impunity for those caught up in the probe. parliamentary vice president ever kaylee is one of 4 people charged by belgium. police, prosecutors say a golf country was involved. they've not named the country, but widespread media reports in both brussels and kaylee's home nation greece identified as kata, and no official source in brussels. will athens has contradicted that the countries deny any involvement libyan man accused of making the bomb the brought down panel flight one o 3 and lockerbie scotland has appeared in the us court. i will mohammed my suit,

holding down public sector workers pay. we know that the pay award given by government this year amounts and we'll take on the back of that long pay squeezed public sector workers, the trades union. congress has about a 3rd of key public sector workers are in the process of quitting or considering it . that includes 34 percent of education workers and 31 percent in the health sector . while n h s. nurses are calling for a 19 percent pay rise. the government is offering 4 to 5 percent rail workers want a 7 percent increase. the government is offering them 4 or 8 percent over 2 years. and royal male workers are asking for 9 percent raise. they're being offered 7 percent over 2 years, plus a lump sum. the government is refusing to give any more ground warning, the public sector pay rises will only fuel inflation itself already. e, take away at workers, real wages,
5:26 am
and the pay hikes will eventually have to be paid for by the public. in tax rises, the strikes come at a crucial moment, not just during christmas and the winter cold when many public services are needed most. but also in the midst of a cost of living crisis, driving many of the poorest and most poorly paid further into poverty. and strikes are expensive, but both sides in a battle of attrition, over this festive season of discontent. it will be a question of who can sustain the cost of strike action. longest jona whole al jazeera london, ukrainian official say at least 4 people have been killed in attacks by russian forces in the east and south rushes released. drone footage allegedly shining strikes in the den. yes, screeching missiles land in the front line, village of cam yankee. just north of russian hill territory attacks on ukraine's energy grid have also left millions of people without power and freezing
