political dissidents here on the island. traveling with the president, kevin corke. fox news. ism right now we're in havana, what very been following the mayor but this has been a very big day of course for the president and this was very rich on symbolism as well. i want to start off with a visit that the president made to the jose marti memorial. he was the one who rallied the cause for independence of cuba. and the president making a visit

he also meet with raoul castro. >> and they came out and smiling and both of them and they have a long way to go to make the progress that they build upon. >> , we recognize the position of the president and the administration, he repeated appeals. and the recent measures adopted are positive but insufficient. >> as i continue to call on congress to lift the embar bee, i discussed the steps that we urge cuba to show it is ready to

ahowing joint joint ventures. , that's why he is here with the secretary of agriculture and commerce and the goal is to mark. at&t that if those relationships take off, then it would be mar difficult for the sessor to reverse the change that have taken place. we have changes with the cuban team and scott smith our sports director is here. >> and i can not say enough how excited i have seen the cuban people to see a professional baseball team in their country and how they have embraced the rays to this point. it started. we were on the charter. we headed down. and along the streets. and there were people, fans

and earth side of the road and see the team charter. later on in the day. there was a kid's clinic that featured coaches on the staff. and the stadium. a youth field who was packed. it goes to show how excited the cuban people are that this event is taking place in their home country. the players are excited. back to the batting practice video. this is the latino stadium t is a stadium and much of the discussion if it is in major league condition. it is. they are excited they heard about what the vibe is like. it will be a sell-out. 55,000 people. inside. listen to the players. >> i knew it would mean a lot to

until you see you don't understand. it is nice i'm happy the rays were selected and i could be a part of this trip to bring this. what you are a part of the agenda is phenomenal to be a part of. and what it leads to and bringing to the game it is significant. it is an honor. >> a cool story we have seen take place is one of the players who defected. that would make sense for him returning for the first time in three years. he in fact will be on the roster of just 34 players.

lead off. i talked to him how excited he was and anxiety about finally taking the field tomorrow. >> you know this trip it is probably taken a lot of people away from their every day job but once we got here and we the reaction that we saw from the family with daron verona. after we get this is a big positive. everything else is icing on the cake. >> he was concerned about how he may be received being he left three years ago. that was not an issue today. there were many fans on the field that embraced him and he expects the same reception tomorrow when he takeshe t field. the game is going at 2 tomorrow

>> we're being embraced here. we walk the streets when we are veering beyond the tourist district. the mayor is here with the deputy mayor of st. pete and chief of staff as well. they're here for the rays but they are here with a mission on business to try to bring a cuban consulate to st. pete. coming up at 10 and 11. we'll take a look at the chances for doing that. what is done. we will look at the president's visit how it will pay off depending on the perspective in the months and the years ahead. the president's goal is to make changes and accelerate them to the point they will be indelible for his successors. we're reporting now live from cuba and more to come. >> more ahead in sports. >> we'll seed it back to you. >> we'll see you soon. >> thank you. make sure that you stay with

it got more interesting. a jury gave him a bigger pay out from the gossip web site. you know the same jury awarded him 115 million in damages for violating the privacy. just a few minutes ago they added over 25 million in punitive damages. and gloria gomez is here with that verdict that just came down a few minutes ago. >> they had to hear arguments on both sides and the fact they awarded them $25 million. ed keep in mind the way it breaks down is this. gawker has to pay 15 million, the owner of gawker will have to pay 10 million. and the person who posted it will play $100,000. this is the second phase to the trial where hogan is asking for damages, they had arguments this

and going over everything with the jury. they started off saying how much gawker earned 48 million. the president of gawker is worth 121 million. they argued that they acted with reckless disregard after posting a clip of that tape involving hogan and heather clem, the sponge. they sold the are jury to make a statement to the members out there with the verdict; >> everything was done with a disregard for care and with an intent to harm this man. >> the verdict of $115 million will be financially devastating to gawker. they have no more money. take a look. >> and we have heard your judgment.

it very seriously. $115 million. you are now being asked to punish my clients further. an additional punishment that is unnecessary. 115 is enough. >> and it serve $140 million that gawker will have to pay up. , they are going to appeal the verdict. and how hulk hogan is reacting. we're getting that together. we'll have it at 10 and 11. >> gloria gomez following it from jury selection to another award. >> you're welcome.
