7:21 am
lots of people are struggling and for a country like ours, with an embargo, it's worse. well, millions of cubans headed to the polls on sunday to elect the members of the national assembly. that was select the next president, cuba, one party system, the candidate for the national assembly are selected by a commission to the communist party. there's 472 candidates for 472 pieces, new members of the opposition. and that's why critics say that cubans are allowed to vote, but not to choose. disenchantment with the economic situation is everywhere. to be seen. us sanctions power cut a 60 percent inflation rate this year, and shortages of almost everything have forced hundreds of thousands to leave the country. and that way, turn out is crucial for the government to provide the new assembly with the legitimacy needs to rule in times of trouble out of hand. and while there are a lot of people that will not vote to punish the government because it's a fact that a government in the middle of a crisis is
7:22 am
a government that gets punished. but at the same time, the new national assembly needs to get involved in the day to day problems, people face and get into a debate for them. i but not every one is convinced. thousands of people took to the streets in july 2021. in the largest anti government protests in years, they were demanding freedom. hundreds were detained, and remaining prison. medium lever has been an outspoken critic of cuba government . her husband spent years in prison, galleria wanna it. the cuban reality doesn't need to be exaggerated because it's tragic. after years it's my duty to say the truth. the situation is so difficult that we have to see how the government solstice and opens up because there is one reality. the control here is not in a civilian government, but in the hands of the military. and now more than ever, the government is promising to improve the country's devastated economy. millions
7:23 am
in cuba are waiting for those reforms that will provide the relief that men here so desperately need. oh, biddy. so i'll just see down havana, cuba or lebanon is facing a political and religious dispute over its official days heil hours. the caretaker government has delayed daylight savings now by a month. clocks will be moved forward at the end of ramadan and april. that allows muslims to break their daily fast earlier at sunset that christian, although he say they'll stick to tradition and switch the time on the last sunday of march. then a quarter has worn out from the capital. there is more chaos in lebanon. a country already close to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to time zones, usually at the end of march of this country to shift into the summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision, an unexpected. and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister,
7:24 am
along with the speaker of parliament. be buddy up this really this decision a caught people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has adapted to the decision. yes, their electronic devices are clocks that remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's an uproar and there's opposition and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the argument is it was in discriminant and chose the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are taking decisions without resorting to to parliament. a cabinet. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community. the head of the maronite church christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are
7:25 am
taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that, while those empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the leak video, you hear the house speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not lebanon will change to summer timings, which it really has done for, for years now, is causing a lot of confusion in the country. more than a 100 people have been killed in kenya in the past 6 months by armed castle raiders . bandits had been stealing livestock and displacing people, internal politics and the lucrative trade of made it difficult for the government to deal with the problem. our correspondent catherine sway reports from barringer county. this is a road in north swift valley that cast through 3 counties. it was supposed to make movement in hard in communities easier, but it's
