8:21 am
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 elect the next president. cuba, one party system. the candidate for the national assembly are selected by a commission williams for 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 ruling times of trouble. and why was there a lot of people that will not vote to punish the government?
8:22 am
because it's a fact that a government in the middle of a crisis is 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, protesting 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, val wanna it, the cuban reality doesn't need to be exaggerated because it's tragic after yes, 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
8:23 am
in cuba are waiting for those reforms that will provide the relief that many here so desperately need. oh, did he say? well, i'll just cedar havana, cuba with the economic time while in cuba has meant that a record number of people are fleeing the island in 2021 fatty 9000 thoughts entry to the united states. that number jumped to 224000 last year. many of them fly to south america, mexico and then try to cross into the us. the cuban american population is estimated to be about $1500000.00 and growing gibbons in the usa. they're skeptical that sunday's vote will lead to any real change for the caribbean nation. bob reynolds reports from miami record breaking numbers of cubans are seeking asylum in the u. s. auster casanya arrived in miami a little over a year ago. he says he was forced to leave cuba with his wife and son due to his
8:24 am
political activism against cuban government policies. after more than a year under house arrest, state security agents gave him an ultimatum. you have a month to abandon cuba, otherwise we are going to put you in. give 220000 cubans fled to the united states last year. many of them settling here in south florida. worsening economic conditions on the island were the main drivers for the exodus. the most discontent that people are on the island is basically about their daily lives. full electricity, transportation, housing, against that backdrop, many cuban americans and recent migrant scoff at any notion that cubans legislative elections represent a step toward democracy. we find that funny, ah, when they got bogged an election, when the candidate have no opposition,
8:25 am
they have been hampered by the party to run on oppose the issue of the election. so cuba for the majority of us here and soft, laura is a relevant cuban officials, blame their country's economic woes on us hostility and its decades long cold war era. economic embargo. casanya says the elections won't alter the basic realities of life in cuba. we feel as q on people is this is a kind of a theater play. at nothing is going to change with the selection. as cuba votes for the 1st time in the post castro era, the mood among cuban americans and recent cuban migrants is skeptical to say the least. rob reynolds, al jazeera, miami, or lebanon, is facing a political and religious dispute over its official days high. now as the caretaker government has delayed daylight savings by month,
8:26 am
clocks will now be moved forward. at the end of ramadan, an apron that allows muslims to break their daily fast earlier at sunset, that christian authorities say, and i'll stick to tradition and switch the time on the last sunday of march. then a 100 has more from day rate. 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 2 times on, 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, 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, their clocks remain the same,
8:27 am
but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's 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, to cabinets. 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 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 league video, you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less,
8:28 am
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. on book binding isn't traditional year round occupation in the any capital salon. during ramadan, their demand from worshipers is high for the restoration of the muslim holy book. the koran, mama val has the story hash massage. he has his hands full as a book binder in the old district of the human capital son ha, business his normal quiet. but during ramadan, his flooded with orders one book at a time, he needs to restore dozens of for arms as quickly as he can. i went back without sylvia unable to bind the book. we begin with applying a piece of paper and another fabric on the other. after we apply both, we stitch it this way. after we finish ditching the book with the cotton and nylon threads, we apply let the spine using locally made do. there's no question. the next step is
8:29 am
to place the book in a press and leave you tell to the sun for a day to make sure the binding holds. millions of muslims learn the core on by heart from a young age. others depend on the most, huff or awning book form for a citation. paper books are still the norm here in yemen. however, my reason i brought with me 47 copies of the currants be repaired because some of them are damaged and we take any damaged copies of the koran from any mosque to be restored at our expense. during ramadan, particularly old people want to recite the koran and handle that and will be at a more will alphabet ali, thanks to allow the yemenis are taking care of the koran and preserving it in terms of book binding. honoring pondering its meanings. complaint with guidelines on what's permissible and what's forbidden. ha, ha, ha. during ramadan was slims,
