11:23 am
coast guard in heaven. a bang is estimated. a quarter of a 1000000 people have left the island in the past 12 months. many of them are looking to escape to cuba, struggling economy and making the dangerous boat run to the united states. at augusta has more from havana cubans leaving the country in unprecedented numbers. over the last 12 months alone of almost a quarter of a 1000000 cubans to migrate to one country, why they're leaving the country. dia, 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 pan demik and us sanctions. us sanctions rusted 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 years. foreign currency inflows,
