i was born in cuba. prominent schools when i made a joke about president fidel castro. i was a teenager. the kid that slept on the bunk bed on top of me recorded our conversation and i was expelled from school. my mom said the only choice is for us to leave cuba. i've lived in miami 35 years. it's my home base. i come back and forth it cuba. i've been coming to cuba for over 20 years. cuba is a communist country in economic transition. >> fidel castro allowed cubans to establish more businesses, there are people that are making money, there are people that have created a tremendous amount of wealth. >> people with family connections to the states, people tied to the exploding tourist industry, small businessowners, taxi drivers, people operating in ever-changing gray areas of what is permissible. how's it work right now? if you're cuban, you can sell your property to -- >> another cuban from cuba. that's what's happening right now. a lot of cuban-americans, a lot of cubans living abroad are now coming ba

cuba, you were being watched. you were being spied on. >> we assumed. >> hinojosa: i mean, you assumed. >> we assumed, yeah. >> hinojosa: what does that do to you, when you're thinking, "okay, well, this guy is parking my car, but is he really just parking my car, or is he..." you know, or, "the woman who's cleaning my house, is she really cleaning my house, or is she picking up..." did that... did you let that get into your head, about the fact that that's your life in havana? >> well, i mean, i was cognizant of it, and quite frankly i did see a lot of people write down my car license plates at different parking lots and stuff. they would... you know, that was sort of a matter of course. i mean, i remember going to the clinic, the health clinic for foreigners, and every car that was parked down there they'd write down their license plate, every single one. >> hinojosa: we talked about the fact that you assumed that your phone line was being tapped. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: but when you think about what's happening i

and cuba. those agreements envision ramping up imports and exports when the existing trade restrictions with cuba are eased. mariel port official wendy barroto says the cuban government has offered tax breaks, expedited permits and built a monorail line to attract more foreign companies. >> ( translated ): the total completion for this area is estimated in about 30 years. >> reporter: what industries are you hoping to attract here? >> ( translated ): they are basically logistics services, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing, with priority given to food processing and packing, and steel works. >> reporter: while american companies wait for these deals to go through, saul berenthal is optimistic his tractors will one day plough cuban soil. berenthal says he understands why cuba has been slow to trust the u.s. >> the difficulty lies between developing a trust with a country that on one side says "we want to do business with you" and on the other side has an embargo th

and cuba. those deal with everything from narcotics enforcement to migration, to the environment and even before the new initiative, historically relations between cuba and the u.s. when they have improved or sometimes improvement they have to do with the same issues or they've had to do with exchange of hijackers or spies, exchange of political prisoners. so to very positive developments between the u.s. and cuba is that cuba has been in the forefront of dealing with hemispheric security and that is cuba has sponsored the talks in columbia. in addition, cuba has been very helpful with respect to haiti. with the earthquakes and so forth. cuba has use their doctors to give assistance. with respect, i think because of the shortage of time let me turn now the need for better hemispheric framework in terms of enforcement. here, clearly the most important body has been the organization of american states. there has been a group called the inter-american -- committee that meets twice a year to make r

in tourists could come into cuba. they quoo come into cuba, especially from europe, they'd go to the beaches and so they spent their euros there. americans would sneak in to cuba by going through the bahamas and get their passport punched out there and then take a separate flight and fly into cuba. they might also come in from the south or come in through mexico. but american dollars came down. here's the rule. we think we're helping cubans by doing business in cuba with american dollars. here's how it was when i was there. i don't think it's any different today. the exchange rate of cuban peso to the dollar was 21 pesos to the dollar. cubans could earn american dollars, they could hold american dollars, but they can't spend american dollars unless they go to a cuban bank where they have to take their american dollars and lay that down on the counter and get an exchange cuban currency. but the cuban currency doesn't give them 21 pesos which is the exchange rate for their american dollar, it gives them one peso for ame

to access the internet is not easy in cuba.it is possible to go to these wi-fi zones, but the speed is not so high. and, of course, it's also a little bit expensive. that's why it's not so easy to manage your profile on airbnb. >> reporter: soon, ramos, acosta and others may be learning how to use another american travel site: tripadvisor. the company is now taking bookings for homestays, hotels and flights to cuba after winning approval from the u.s. government last month. even as multinational chains are building hotels, acosta believes there will always be a market for the personal service and cultural exchange that homestays provide. >> there are some people that feel really good in a casa, and this is what i enjoy-- the people who want to stay in a casa and be part of our family. >> this is pbs newshour weekend, saturday. >> stewart: in turkey today, a car bomb killed 13 soldiers and wounded 56 other people in the country's anatolia region. it was an ambush of a bus carrying soldiers on weekend leave. turkish president erd

if you were advising donald trump on what he should be doing in cuba, with cuba, toward cuba, what would you tell him? >> well, the first thing is to go back to supporting the dissidents, go back to taking a moral stance, go back to a reagan approach of giving the dissidents inside of cuba who are very brave and risk everything, moral support. this is why they think obama has betrayed them with what he has done with cuba policy. go pack to that. speak as often as possible about the fact that the cuban regime lacks legitimacy, a regime that was never elected and stayed there through state terror and reverse the executive orders that obama put in place which have led only to the enrichment of the castro family and of the military. anything that has to do with u.s. companies associating with state-run enterprises, reverse the executive orders. >> the next question is would he actually do that? you are talking about a president-elect that comes from a pro business standpoint. pedro, if you were advising the president-elect, would you say to him you should actually get those u.s. businesses o

the pattern was the same in cuba. those who were less than enthusiastic about castro's reform were effectively branded as bautista followers. the man who spoke up against the revolt was labeled as a counterrevolutionary. algerians who saw through the fraud and endeavored to warn the nation or their neighbors were vilified as extremists, colonialists, racists, fascists. torture, death, and the fear of torture and death were also most effective weapons against those who might resist the tyrannical takeover. the number of atrocities committed in the name of freedom upon the muslim people averaged nearly 20 per day for every day of every month for seven years. the next step in the communist strategy is the most easily recognized, for it consists of the tactic of getting masses into motion, and thus precipitating mob violence. after psychologists -- master psychologists that they are the , communists know that once the masses are in the streets, it is not too difficult to convert an orderly demonstration into a full-scale

they were going to cuba to play with little leaguers in cuba. marcel and i gave them an american flag that had been flown over the united states capitol. these kids were grinning from ear to ear holding it, and then they sent me pictures of them flying the american flag in the various venues where they were playing ball. and saying having been photographed with the cuban team. just think a few years ago the idea of the u.s. flag flying in those venues and being cheered by the people there. one of the photographs that i remember the most from that trip taken by a member of my office, lisa brigente, from behind. one team wore red t-shirts, one blue. here's kids, so much like you see with little leaguers, they're walking off the field. their arms are on each other's shoulders. they've just played this game together. you don't have to see the faces. you don't have to see which t-shirt says "u.s.," which one says "cuba.
