i'm not certain the change your leadership the odds are that next february when raul castro retires he's going to retain his position as first secretary of the communist party of cuba and under the cuban constitution that basically controls the country so even though they'll be a new president you're still going to have an almost ninety year old man basically in charge of the commercial economic and political decisions in terms of though what these new young primarily private sector folks are doing it's difficult because the cuban government can't define success it has a problem with saying to someone how successful can you be before you become so successful that we want you to give back and even everything out so what you have are some very talented people who are electing to drive taxicabs because they can make more that way than they can as being a physician and for the cuban government they've always looked at the private sector as evidenced by two hundred categories that are permitted whereas in never in most countries you'd have. thousands and thousands you'd have to try to create

we saw him doing the wave with raul castro at a baseball game which was a huge coup for the castro regimewith that? representation in cuban has increased since the opening that barack obama undertook. last year there were according to amnesty an average of 862 arrests and the detentions every month in cuba. the most repressive regime on the face of the effort and gotten more repressive since barack obama's policies were in place. by the way, we're looking at venezuela right now, what is happening there with castro's ally in venezuela. they have used the money they have gotten from the opening to help the maduro regime help repress the venezuelan people that are trying to rise up in democracy. >> dana: i think we have american citizens, diplomats that didn't deserve what has happened to them. i guess we'll get more information about them. of course, the canadian citizen as well. but there's a lot of innocent people living under these regimes that deserve better as well. i'll give you the last word. >> absolutely. the people that live under the repressive regime and the failed economic poli

basically has the cuban government recoiling and you now have less than two hundred days before raul castro retires and is replaced by his vice president so there's all this stuff going on and for the cuban government it means uncertainty in the cuban government hates uncertainty you mentioned changes with the trumpet ministration what do you think is trump's game plan with cuba. well the president doesn't have a particular game plan and the program that's being developed that he announced in june and that's going to be rolled out in september primarily has been driven by the members of congress of cuban descent the six of them in the house and in the senate and the goal is to make an attractive travel to cuba and make unattractive u.s. companies engaging with cuba and what their plan need to do which is a brilliant strategy is to say we are going to dissuade you from engaging with companies in cuba that are controlled by the cuban military and that puts u.s. companies in a bind because no c.e.o. wants to be on r t defending why they want to have business with a military run company as oppo

look at the advisors around maduro, the senior official, this has been critical to the survival of raul castroip in havana. these are two tottering regimes leaning on each other. if if maduro fell, it would impact cuba as well. david: north korea, it's clear that that missile they tests out the other day has the capacity to go all the way to chicago. i know we are getting thaad missiles into south korea and japan. don't we have to take offensive measures to keep them from hitting the u.s.? >> the job of the president is to protect innocent civilians from this kinds of attack. no one wants to see a show of force. but we have just about run out of time. we have followed mistaken policy for three decades. chickens are coming home to roost. david: one adventurer bringing extreme yoga to the mountains of switzerland. watch as he balances on a cable 6,500 feet in the air. he does handstand. he currently holds the record for the world's longest slack line walk. a number of republicans calling for a special investigation into hillary clinton, scales comey and loretta lynch. take 5, guys. tired of your

messenger service and a magazine focused on cuba's burgeoning private sector, which took root after the raul castroceeded his brother fidel ten years ago. >> i believe the isolation is not good. i believe that we need to be open to united states because it's good for our businesses. >> reporter: many cuban entrepreneurs are women. deus and others wrote a letter to ivanka trump, a self proclaimed champion of women entrepreneurs in emerging nations. >> across the globe you hear the same thing from female entrepreneurs which is that they have a unique challenge accessing capital. >> reporter: they said "the restoration of relations between cuba and the united states has been key to the success of the sector. a setback in the relationship would bring with it the fall of many of our businesses and with this, the suffering of all those families that depend on them." they got no response. the trump policy claims to target the oppressive cuban military dictatorship, but... >> if you are trying to punish them, you are punishing us also. sometimes i think they don't see that, but we are the most affected. >>

africa, one of the few heads of state who was asked to speak amongst all present was president raul castro of cuba. >> [applause] professor horne: in any case, you should also know during the u.s. civil war, spanish cuba, or cuba wereh who ruled in a quandary. on one hand they suspected that whoever won, the north or the south during the double war, that the winners would want cuba because there had been a lust for taking cuba for decades previously. an effort to make cuba of state of the united states of america. that is one idea circulating in the minds of spanish rulers in cuba. another thing circulating was they should be in camaraderie with the slave owners in the south in order to defeat the north. but as i said, if the south had they would be after cuba ousting the spanish. at the end of the day they decided to open the report to the confederate state of america. after the defeat of the confederates, there was tremendous pressure on cuba to abolish slavery, and a bloody war interrupted to that end, leading to the rise of a figure who may be known to many, antonio masao. he was consi

cbs has agreed to buy this embattled austrian raul castro, beating out a bid led by key shareholder locklinw. we heard lachlan murdoch and bruce gordon were buying 10, so what happened since then? sayt is probably fair to they were seen as the front runners to buy 10. locklin murdoch and bruce gordon were guarantors to 10's debt and put together this plan to jointly by 10. that plan that was approved by regulators need a key legislation to get through australia's parliament because they have interest in other media platforms as well. that legislation is stalled in parliament. ,ith 10 burning cash every week receivers and needed a buyer. cbs is the largest creditor and already provides content to 10, so a pretty good deal for them in the end. shery: that is for sure, but will there be opposition to the plan? 10 network has been sustained in did from trading since it's voluntary administration, and the question is will there be opposition here? right.'s it has been suspended since june and its shares sunk. the whole network was only worth 59 million austrian dollars in june. will there be opp

liz: the belief to get marching orders from raul castro and president trump and vice president makingn tour there. stuart: precisely. you hit it right there, liz. >>> fallout from charlottesville, is that controversy hurting us overseas? that is a fair question. i think it is hurting us domestically. how about overseas? form u.n. ambassador to the united nations john bolton joins us now. mr. ambassador, is our standing getting hurt what is happening in the aftermath of the charlottesville comments? >> well i think, in terms of the image of the united states, obviously there is a downside to it, there is no way to get around it but i think in terms of dealing with the u.s. government while other nations pay very close attention to what is happening, it doesn't really affect the government, government relations. i think historical evidence bears that out. even in the depths of watergate, foreign countries still treated the nixon administration as it was, president of the united states. but, i do think that there ought to be a high priority at the white house to clarify the president's r
