welcome to the "overnight news." i'm don dahler. world leaders headed to havana for the memorial service for fidel castro. the revolutionary communist dictator died friday at 90. as thousand began lining up before dawn to pay their respects. the white house announced that president obama will not be attending the memorial, nor sunday's state funeral. neither will russian president vladamir putin. castro was cremated saturday. remains are inside the jose marte memorial in revolutionary square.
3:31 am
the first place of the revolution. charlie rose has more on the death of a dictator. >> reporter: fidel castro's death marks the end of an era whether the start of a new one for cuba remains to be seen. illness forced castro to transfer his powers to his brother raul in 2006, and to hand over the presidency in 2008. though his iron fist no longer ruled cuba, the 90-year-old was a potent symbol of the revolution. what was the best thing he did? for the >> education, health. free for the people. >> reporter: health and education? >> of course. >> reporter: will it change without fidel? >> i don't really worry about it. i don't. >> reporter: after his 1959 overthrow of the cuban dictator. >> fidel castro, face the nation. >> castro appeared on "face the

3:33 am
there is less partying and more a sense of remembering the man who founded the revolution. >> translator: there could be change, this man said, or maybe things will remain the same. but many believe fidel castro's death is a time for mourning and a consideration of cuba's future. the government has not released many details about castro's death, be still do not know the cause of his death for example. for his part, raul castro says -- he intends to step down in here. whether you love fidel castro because of what he did in education and health care, or hate him because of civil rights and human rights, there is no doubt that he is kconsidered a revolutionary hero not only in cuba but in many places around the world and also for his defiance of the united states. one place where fidel castro is not considered a hero is miami's little havana
3:34 am
the story. >> news of castro's death the conversation at cafe versailles. for thousand who celebrated this weekend. it was celebration. news of his death is the best news off the island. the front cover of "the miami herald" has become something of a collector's item. >> this is it. the icon is gone. >> reporter: dolce abrerro, one of thousands who gathered in little havana. some look her left u.s. when they were children placed flowers at the graves of their parents. >> i am here for their voice today. that's what i am here for. their voices can't be heard. i am here saying -- >> many cuban americans here in south florida are questioning what's next. >> i think that the death of a tyrannical leader, fidel castro would have had more significant impact had he been in power. >> this florida congresswoman
3:35 am
when she was 8 years old. >> cuba will change when there is a change in cuba. castro's leaving this earth will not bring this about. >> are you encouraged by the death? >> not going to change anything. >> changes nothing for you. >> i think so. castro is gone. his brother is still there. i don't think his brother is as strong as he was. >> reporter: the four came to america as part of operation pedro >> they put us in a plane. they didn't know what was going to happen. >> reporter: in 1960, the year after castro seized power, thousands of cuban parents sent their kids to america. the four were 16, 13, 6, and 9 at the time. their parents later joined them in the u.s. >> none of you have been back? >> no. >> why haven't you gone back? >> i am not ready.
3:36 am
what we underwent. even my own children, they really don't understand. it made us very strong. i am eternally grateful to my parents for putting me on that plane. the cuban-americans david spock spoke to may have no intention of going back to cuba. a lot of other people do. jetblue kicked off their flights to cuba yesterday. there are questions whether the trump administration will follow through on the tha i relations. chip reid has that. >> i see all the signs. cubans for trump. >> reporter: days before he was elected. donald trump promised to reverse the nation's diplomatic deal with cuba. >> we will cancel obama's one-sided cuban deal. made by executive order. if we do not get the deal we want. >> reporter: on sunday, mr. trump's incoming white house chief of staff, signalled the whole deal is up in the air. >> president-elect trump is
3:37 am
in order to have any sort of deal with cuba. >> reporter: in peru earlier this month. president obama reassured latin american business owners, u.s. ties to cuba will not be cut off. >> all those things i expect to continue. >> the white house and the president elect were on opposite ends of the spectrum in their comments. in his statement, president obama left if the up to history to judge the enormous impact of this singular figure. trump was more calling astro a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people. >> the guy was a pawn the a prisoner of both governments. >> reporter: allen gross spent five years in a cuban prison. accused of undermining their government. he says the only thing keeping the countries at odds had been the men in charge. >> i boil it down to a personality conflict. between 10 u.s. presidents and one cuban president. and when we got to the 11th president and the cuban
3:38 am
little bit with diplomating relations. >> the "overnight news" will be right ba ?living well? rise above joint discomfort with move free ultra's triple action joint support for improved mobility and flexibility, and 20% better comfort from one tiny, mighty pill... get move free ultra, and enjoy living well. i pinky promised my little girl a fabulous garden party for her birthday. so i mowed the lawn, put up all the decorations.

president elect donald trump ran his campaign promising to drain the swamp in washington. well half a world away in italy, prime minister mateo renzi has an ambitious plan. a referendum would reshape the italian constitution. among the provisions, slashing the number of senators in parliament. charlie rose has the story for "60 minutes." ? we met mateo renzi in florence where the renaissance was born and where it flourished. >> this is the salavicci, the flower, symbol of florence. >> reporter: he insisted on
3:41 am
view. look out the window. >> yes. >> reporter: it was 4 hours after donald trump had stunned the world. this is the headline in "the new york times" this morning when i got up. here in your city. what's your reaction? >> it is a surprise. a great surprise. yesterday, i spoke with the president-elect. >> you spock wike with trump? did he call you or you call him? >> i called him. because the deserved a call by the prime minister of italy. and i -- i wished him every, every good, good luck for, for the next years. >> reporter: did you remind him you supported his opponent? >> but we don't discuss about it. but it is normal. it is the -- the great, the great play of democracy. >> reporter: renzi finds himself at the center of a great play of democracy, italians will vote on
3:42 am
initiated. it would change italy's constitution by slashing the number of senators in parliament. >> italy is incredible. because italy is the country with 950 members of parliament. the double of the united states of america. >> reporter: u.s., 435 members of the house. 100 members of the senate. >> in italy, the number are 630 in the chamber. and in senate, 315. >> reporter: a yes vote would reduce the senate to 100 members, who would be appointed and not elected. renzi believed the change is needed because the senate is the graveyard of legislation in italy. this referendum is not a referendum to change democracy in italy. it is a referendum to reduce bureaucracy in italy. italy is the worst country for bureaucracy around the world.
3:43 am
of politicians, the consequence is 63 government changes in 70 years. >> reporter: 63 governments in 70 years! >> exactly. because we have a system and bureaucracy. everything is difficult. everything is complicated. and my idea is simply give simplicity to italy. >> reporter: demolition man in italy. he wants to scrap the old ways of doing business. he has already passed a bill that makes it easier to hire and fire workers. renzi argues with a leaner senate he can streamline the way italy is run. history is italy's richest asset. but its present is hampered by a bloated inefficient state. italy's economy hasn't grown for two decades.
3:44 am
12%. italians still know how to enjoy life even as the country seems stuck in place. many italians are suspicious of renzi's motives for the referendum. >> this is crazy. this is madness. ridiculous. democracy is the right that people have to choose their, their representative. >> reporter: virginia ragi, the mayor of rome who cam to office with little political experience. her party opposes renzi's >> he doesn't want to change the country. he just wants more power. >> reporter: that is an incredible accusation to make. more power to do what? >> what he wants. maybe -- all the laws he wants to do without great opposition from the parliament. >> reporter: one of italy's leading columnists. he says renzi personalized the referendum early on by
3:45 am
vote prevailed. >> of course that concentrates all of his opponents everywhere, the left, right, center, wherever. even within his party. so in practice it is a referendum on mateo renzi. him against everyone else. >> reporter: it has become a vote about you. and that's not good. >> yes. this is, was my mistake in the first -- days of electoral campaign. i understand the mistake. i don't, i don't accept people who say "oh, politicians have to refuse to admit mistake." no, i am a man. i can make some mistakes. >> reporter: if you can trust them, the polls show the no vote slightly ahead. there have been weekly rallies against renzi and his referendum. some of which have turned violent. while others have been simply passionate.
3:46 am
>> even in florence where banners read "renzi go home." though in office for a little over two and a half years, mateo renzi is seen as the establishment, the vessel for people to vent their anger in a year when discontented voters are sag no to those in power. >> after the victory of trump. a lot of italian populists, "ah, we won." >> reporter: they said trump was a vote for no. >> yeah, if michigan or pennsylvania, it is not the same thing in the lombardia. >> italy is nervous, rattled by the shock of the brexit vote. the european union needs stability in italy, a country notorious for its instability. ? ? and president obama with an eye perhaps on boosting renzi before the referendum, last month
3:47 am
the final state dinner of the obama years. ? ? if renzi pulls out a victory next week, it will likely be because he is a relentless campaigner and a master of operatic stage craft. with his tuscan swagger and a florentine ease with the italian language he is racing around italy like a man who consumed one double espresso renzi is a natural politician. he is trying to convince his people that a yes vote is the best chance for italy to move forward. here's what i hear -- from you, sitting here in this remarkable place of history. i love italy so much i want to change it in order to make sure it can be all that it can. >> the message is exactly the that.
3:48 am
rome as prime minister, i am absolutely sure about the potential role of my country. >> reporter: from a young age, renzi was the smartest person in the room. at age 19, he won over $30,000 on the italian version of "wheel of fortune." by age 34, he became the mayor of florence. in 2014, despite not being a member of parliament, to assume the prime minister seat without winning an election. it was a move worthy of fellow florentine machiavelli whose name for five centuries defined the gaining of political advantage. we are in this city of florence, the home of machiavelli. >> yes. not only machiavelli. not only. machiavelli worked exactly in the other room. >> reporter: he worked in there? >> yes. and there is the portrait of machiavelli now.
3:49 am
about power and the exercise of power. that's the game you are in. >> machiavelli is in italy because machiavelli its a representation as a man who used the every way to achieve the power. but i think machiavelli is one of the symbol of italian intelligence. this is the portrait of machiavelli. >> reporter: renzi is self-aware and self deprecating but the joke in italy is that renzi's ego is so huge, the entrances to the pallals had to be enlarged to accommodate it. here's what some journalistic friend said to me. he is a man in a hurry. he talks too much. has tried to do a lot in 2 1/2 years.
3:50 am
priest said to you, "god exists, mateo. but you are not god." >> it's true. he told me. i am not interested to change about the government, i interested to change the conditions for the people. so, yes, i talk a lot. >> you can see the full report on our web my cold medicines' wearing off. that stuff only lasts a few hours. or, take mucinex. one pill fights congestion for 12 hours. guess i won't be seeing you why take medicines that only last 4 hours, when just one mucinex lasts 12 hours?

deal of responsibility. aren't you a little frightened by this? >> well, really not frightn't. because i have self-confidence. >> reporter: this rare interview at a time of great promise for castro. he had just ousted a corrupt dictator. and was greeted by cheering crowds as he and his revolutionaries entered havana. >> tell me, fidel castro are you concerned at all about the communist influence in cuba? >> i no worry because there is not threat about communism here in cuba. >> reporter: history would prove otherwise. for more than half a century, fidel castro was the communist, 90 miles off our shores. facing down 11 american presidents. he could be ruthless and repressive. at the same time, a national hero.

not everyone in cuba is singing the blues over the death of fidel castro. a lot of younger cubans don't have strong attachments to the deceased dictator. >> reporter: young and old have started to gather to pay their respects toid turned over power to brother raul in 2006. so not everyone here will remember fidel's time as president and even fewer will recall his days fighting the revolution. this church league soccer game might make it seem like any other sunday in havana. that is until halftime. when both teams stop to hold a moment of silence for fidel castro.
3:58 am
>> translator: for us cubans it is a great loss says alejandro. like many young people an image molded less by firsthand experience, and more by tradition and family. >> reporter: your grand farnts have cried about this. >> translator: they were part of the revolution. they feel this -- much more heavily. >> translator: clearly they feel this a lot more than we do. that was apparent away from the field in church pews acros island where older cubans openly mourn. we spoke with this woman after mass. you love fidel. i see a tear? streaming down your face. because i love too much fidel. >> reporter: and your revolution? >> yes. >> reporter: there is no mention here at least publicly about the abuses and oppression of the castro regime.
