you know, causing the deaths of as we know, thousands of cubans trying to cross the cuban streets.okay we are going to the first question please. >> thank you very much for taking my question. i am enjoying the show today. what i want to know is, the united states, what is it influenced by? is it a reaction to the bay of pigs still or is it because you say the cuban-americans have so much influence? also, shouldn't they be more influenced by national security? i mean, besides whatever is going on cuba. cuba is too close to the states will and shouldn't that be the defining reason for them doing something? >> vicky, do you want to take that? >> thank you, i love your question because i so much agree with it. we do not need the enemy 90 miles off the shore. our third closest neighbor. we should be working with cuba and the caribbean and central america to help bring this area up so that there is less violence and jobs and economic opportunity and cuba should be the center of this effort. but because of traditionally cuban-americans, which came out of as you referred to in the bay of

and cuban americans? or just another moment? >> i think it's just another moment. i think the major problem with cuba is -- well, it's twofold. one is that they have this incredibly centralized economy that they're never letting go of. and while that economy is completely centralized, it's always completely always dependent on everyone else. it's been dependent on that. we can do the history all the way back to the colonies. cuba has always been economically dependent on someone else. it's the history of cuban's economy. we've never been economically independent, sovereign. so this has created sort of all of these perverse and twisted relationships with mentor countries. we've now lost the mentor -- the latest mentor country. ie venezuela. and there's no one in sight. i mean, i think the great hope was that there would be a reconciliation with the united states. and as a result, there would be some possibility of some economic treatise that would help bring cuba a little bit more into a freer, more contro

and that the cubans jumped into the zala to escape and in the exotic afflicted. the police in the public prosecutor's office launched an investigation in massacred the stasi report stated that the criminal responsibility of five east german citizens is currently being checked on suspicion of involvement in the incident but suddenly everything ground to a halt the investigations were shut down on orders from the highest level of the east german government. massive book by party leadership meaning hanukkah and also interior minister dickel were involved in covering up the murder of the two cubans in mare's a bird from the outset role model. in their support. in east germany events were covered up and suppressed in cuba they were punished all the cubans who were allegedly involved in the confrontation outside the nightclub were sent to the now tourists coming out as they prison they were given long sentences because the socialist friendship had to remain unblemished the east german leadership acted from a position of strength towards allied developing countries such

the cubans were called gabby's like the fish. of course we felt insulted by that and there were many insults about fidel and cuba . in the lead up to. the family of the contract worker i will gothia who was killed in massive bergen nine hundred seventy nine live in very modest conditions in santa clara a three hour drive from havana his mother still deeply feels the pain of his death even thirty eight years later. when. he was a good decent boy always cheerful he had a good heart. you got to work because. it's the first time the family have heard about what the stars the files had to say about the death of their son and brother they're horrified and shocked they were left in the dark about the exact circumstances of his death all these years up until now they believed it had been an accident or something to go. with. mom and dad or they sent us a telegram that we were to see the dog didn't have ana i wanted to go because i wanted to know what had happened and whether he was to blame for a fight. i knew he wasn't and that it was w

if you're cuban, you can sell your property to -- >> hugo: another cuban from cuba. right now. a lot of cuban-americans, a lot of cubans living abroad are now coming back, and through relatives, are buying property. obviously, somebody has touched this building with some kind of investment. it's renovated. it seems to be like a hotel. somebody bought the building and turned it into a little hotel. >> anthony: however you feel about the government, however you feel about the last 55 years, there aren't any places in the world that look like this. it's utterly enchanting. >> hugo: it's very seductive. >> anthony: there is no doubt in my mind that somewhere in the opposite of the four seasons hotel chain, they're looking at the seafront and thinking, you know, "one of these days," you know? cruise ships. what happens then? >> hugo: well, look -- >> anthony: is this an inevitable march of progress? am i being a snob? >> no, no, you're being very realistic. that's the concern of most cubans. i wouldn't mind seeing one or two starbucks along havana, but i'm hoping we're no

there's one really strong institution in cuban as a military, second behind it is the party, so you have to have those institutions change and how many of those institutions change? they change because they are forced to buy that economy and that's when you begin to get opening. that's when you have raul buddy 600,000 people going to the private sector and let cubans travel without having to have permission in advance. that's what you have to have. you have to have economic reform and that is possible. that is possible, i mean, you have to have unification of the currency, a change in the way that bureaucracy operates, not the same old top-down bureaucracy and i believed this might happen with the obama castro opening. >> i was very hopeful with the obama castro opening. i thought it was one of the most amazing things that had happened i mean i was like wow. to meet with almost as big as the death of fidel castro, but it's been undone scenic exactly. the policy that could have changed cuba if not to an ally, at least to a respected or country that we could deal with to trade that the cub

[laughter] >> i thought the russians were working with some cuban.me people hated united states could be doing that. i describe in the book a couple of times i was trailed by russian spies a very bizarre experience where a couple of people walked right up to me with tattoos and weird close and then took my picture russians wanted us to know they were watching. so once the break of the u.s. cuban relationship with a list of countries to do that i put russians at the top but they could assume some cubans could be involvement with china that made me think this could also be surveillance technology has gone terribly wrong somebody may have some weird surveillance capabilities they are trying to point at our diplomats and it is causing these health effects because maybe somebody russia or china does that in china as well. nobody was doing this intentionally but it could be the secondary effect of surveillance technology. >> obviously you are different with obama's record in cuba and i ran each of those are historic but u.s. has been at war in the middle e

. >> i'm used to cuba documentariries being done by mostly cubans or americans. you are english, what first drew you to this project? what made you want to do it? >> in the late '90s i was involved in starting the documentary department in the cuban film school. and i got to know what cuba is. >> the authorities were clear about what you could show about cuba. >> very much. >> is it subversive to what you did? it's not in havana, it's out in a fishing village. it's a different look at cuba than we usually get. >> i was looking to do a hemmingway, kind of old man and the sea. so i was looking for what might hemmingway be preoccupied with. >> as we're speaking we can se l beautiful pictures and sun sset and you're right, it's old man of the sea. >> that was my project i ings that were -- what was aw happening with the kind of migration issues. which had been kind of compounded by obama made an announcement in late 2014 of the new relationship between the u.s. and cuba. and that started an exodus of particularly poor cubans trying to get out of the country. >> tell

don't like the cuban force. and it's very, very important that the new elite of young people have that reaction for democratic and constutna behavior in venezuela. and for me it produces me a lot of money that there is a moral risk as well, within this destruction that we're living in venezuela. and mainly about young people in the army force. we're not talk two or three guys. we're talking more than 200 officials. so, we are not in front of this small constoleation constillation. it's the whole solution telling everybody, we don't want to be cuba. we have to pay attention to that situation, which is happening right now. >> thank you, julio. questions before we turn to the audience. sanction, you mentioned it has been the sanction policy. have sanctions been effective in your point of view? and what else can be done to increase its effectiveness, or worst, the behavior of change that landon was describing for us. >> yeah. well, as i told you i was the chief o opposition in the dominican republic. and doing it fo

he's a cane years new government doctor is cuban medical specialists will be deployed to some of the country's most and is staffed and ill equipped public hospitals local doctors are angry one took action saying the process was flawed and adding they are almost two hundred specialists in kenya who are unemployed and even those in work and not being paid as much as the cubans for each of these kind as we are speaking they have their name is country the question the argues it is about numbers that is why we even agree that hundred doctors cannot help the whole process that is true but what we are seeing in the process of hiring these doctors at higher skill or salary it is because if two doctors. the decision to hire foreign doctors stems from the government's frustration over frequent doctors strikes including one last year that lasted four hundred days and crossed major disruption to services in public hospitals. george muti saw struggles to get the specialized care he needs he often has to travel from his rural home to this hospital on the outskirts of the capital he told us it has

and then the cubans were trying to do anything they could.hey were sounding agreements i went down there multiple times. and the notion at the same time to have the migration attempts that everything they were doing was to preserve the relationship. >> what about the canadians? [laughter] i thought based on the intuition that are working with some cubans. to think they could be doing that. to be trailed by russian spies with a bizarre experience where a couple of people walk right up to the to take the iphone instead 6 inches from me and took my picture. they wanted us to know they were watching. to break that u.s. cuba relationship i would put the russians at the top that what happened in china made me think this has gone terribly wrong that somebody might have a surveillance capability and it causes the health effects. and then to do that intentionally and that is very effective. >> and with those that are historic and those that for their adult life and between all of those and the second point to be constructive engagement that we should

owners that are permitted under cu ban law small business owners that are permitted under cuban lawder the constitution. there are other things also, particularly term limits on the president and all other high officials, age limits also. things that will make a difference to the way that cuba is run but not the underpinning philosophy. the political, socialist nature of the revolution is enshrined in law and they will not be touching that. revolution is enshrined in law and they will not be touching thatm is quite noticeable that the impact it has, when i was in havana last year, i noticed small restaurant owners were really trying to make a go of the opportunities they had and it's a feeling that people are poised to do more of that if these changes come in? yes, i think so. those are some other kinds of businesses that are permitted, small restau ra nts, businesses that are permitted, small restaurants, small bed and brea kfasts, restaurants, small bed and breakfasts, people cannot have much more than that as life stands at the moment. small businesses are as far as they can go.

they had these 2000 cuban troops and they were armed and trained and were ready to go. had kennedy not wanted the united states involved in he did not want to be involved anyway. he would not allow the u.s. navy to transport them. and up landing on cuba on ships provided by the united -- company which they used to run. they were chief counsel president kennedy did not want any involvement. but one thing that he told others repeatedly what he did not want u.s. fingerprints on this. he thought it was a bad for the rest of the world if we were going in for regime change. that's not what america does. we don't to regime change. we let countries decide their future and destinies. we don't do that for them. is very damaging for around the world. they knew and they told him that as soon as the bay of pigs brigade land there would be an uprising against castro. my uncle believed in the intelligence they knew that time was extremely popular and he had an army that was very well trained. there are landing the bay of pigs brigade in a place where there was no opportunity. it was i

so look at the cuban missile crisis to say we just cared more? for the soviet union it was distant we were just a few miles off we had the greater risk so i agree with almost all of that but what that nuclear balance of power matters also with the cuban missile crisis there is a lot of evidence that leaders on both sides weren't paying attention to secretary of state and president kennedy in the meeting talked about substantial nuclear superiority that they live in the same extent that they live under hours in the joint chief of staff material defense mcnamara said now is not the time to run scared we have the advantage using the euphemism so essentially that is the logic of the argument that they do play the game of chicken and those capabilities another. >> so get you to define superiority. >> i think in the book you say it is a military nuclear vantage but of course that is pretty broad. i take it you are arguing if you acquire nuclear superiority but what does that mean? it is so quite so clear-cut russia has come a long way. is it possible t

i also don't buy the threat that cuba was such a that the cuban missile crisis, yes, kennedy handle thate got out of that but other than that this idea that for decades we had to consider cuba as a mortal enemy that would invade florida is ridiculous. >> host: no one said they would invade florida but they were mercenaries throughout latin america in the world to undercut and undermine democratic elected governments and -- >> guest: so did we. who is perfect? >> host: one second. bill buckley my old mentor used to say that this argument that you're making now which is -- so did we, so did we -- if we intervene for a completely different process it's like saying -- let me get the line out -- i think that is -- there may be -- to give you an element of that but it was not the primary reason. the fact is that most of the time the united states when it did intervene was doing so to stop an even worse regime from taking power -- even worse than the ones they had their but we didn't always get to pick an ideal, beautiful democratic regime. here's the great line from bill buckley -- one man sees

are not necessarily lethal that while scientists in the united states appear to have proved that the cuban government is engaged in warfare against american diplomats the scientific evidence of possible acoustic warfare was used by president trump to trash relations between a van or in washington not only was the u.s. blockade of the caribbean island escalated but canada joined in studying the evidence of that has been robert mcintosh from the human cognitive neuroscience department at the university of edinburgh he joins me now robert welcome to going underground people around the world know this if it gets of cuba which arguably the . world could have been destroyed back in the sixty's if we heard reports all around the world of some test scientific test proved the cuban government was again engaging in some kind of warfare acoustic warfare you have carved out on the thirty seven scientific tests that prove cuba's guilt yes well the test that with securely concerned were the ones in our field which are cognitive tests who were ministered to the us diplomats and we've been complaining of

back in the sixty's we heard reports all around the world of some test scientific test proved the cuban government was again engaging in some kind of warfare acoustic warfare you have carved out on the thirty seven scientific tests that prove cuba's guilt yes well the test that with securely concerned with are the ones in our field which our cognitive tests were ordered were ministered to the u.s. diplomats who'd been complaining of subjective sensations of mental fogginess irritability loss of concentration memory lapses and so forth. now obviously subjective complaints on one thing but i do really want some kind of objective evidence and so the research is gave a whole series of these tests to the number of these people so what sort of tests are they i imagine it would be testing these diplomats skills on throwing a ball or being able to listen to things they reported themselves that they had her failed concussion like symptoms after being in the u.s. embassy in havana this was echoed now by a u.s. diplomat in china and canadian diplomats are saying they have had similar symptoms . so

he's a cane years new government doctor is cuban medical specialists will be deployed to some of the country's most understaffed and ill equipped public hospitals local doctors are angry one to action saying the process was flawed and adding there are almost two hundred specialists in kenya who are unemployed and even those in work and not being paid as much as the cubans. kind as you're speaking they have there in this country the question the argue is that is about numbers that is why we even agree that hundred doctors cannot help the whole process that is true but what we are seeing in the process of hiring these doctors at high ask your salary it is because if two rate of doctors. the decision to hire foreign doctors stems from the government's frustration over frequent doctors strikes including one last year that lasted four hundred days and crossed major disruptions to services in public hospitals. george muti saw struggles to get the specialized care he needs he often has to travel from his rural home to this hospital on the outskirts of the capital he told us it has taken him

the cuban medics who doctors in kenya say are stealing their jobs last. poll recent copenhagen why danes will be hoping that an anti-violence fan movement and a player who used to be a refugee can help their team be a success at the world cup. the german chancellor angela merkel has called for a joint european approach to immigration she's been holding talks with the french president emmanuel mccall ahead of a crucial issue summit next week merkel is under intense pressure of the issue of coalition partners the c.s.u. have given her until the summit to achieve an e.u. wide deal although i'll take action to reverse her open door policy on refugees. but your view of yes some of those migration is a common challenge and the reasons for migration have to be removed we need to work towards peace in countries that are involved in war like syria and even ukraine we also need to help with development aid for african countries we need to act in a coordinated fashion that is often very difficult our goal is for a common approach in europe we do not want europe to b

the civil rights against george wallace and the cuban missile crisis. it became a command center so wewere all in the midst of that . and that's kind of the backdrop of one part of this story. that connects the whole story, and length is this tension that existed between my family and the cia that began in the early 1950s and then with a battle between allen dulles, john kennedy and his mom in 1951 and he gave this extraordinary speech aboutafrica for the after africans . and in the 1950s, it pitted him against the brothers both liberal and conservatives and my uncle or my grandfather joseph sat on a commission in 1950 which recommended abolishing the clandestine services of the cia which had been created without any congressional authorization. >> .. grandfather andt the time before that, imperialism abroad is inconsistent with the democracy. you cannot have those two things. you end up with a national secuty state. my father just, when he pulled ahead in the california primaries and was realizing that there was a good chance going to end up in white h

i never saw again the idea that danielle was a friend of the del, i think the dell was for the cuban people than -- and danielle was better than what i've get gets in an article abt the economic status of cuba compared under castro. >> guest: i'm always willing to learn more. as you know, then within is the whole iran-contra think that i just thought we should've let the nicaraguan people, if they want to throw the sandinistas out, fine, that was their choice. >> host: as long as the government -- as long as the government permits reelections and that's what the nicaraguan -- trying to prevent. luckily it turned out differently and partially partly because they were forced out election. but anyway, okay, all right. you have great quote in here from somebody, it's funny have to mention it now because we just praised bill buckley, and the one person bill buckley sparred with and did not like at all is gore vidal. most of the time he was very happy with his interlocutors and as you know gracious person and always, but gore vidal would try anyone. but he did say this funny thing that you

it's pretty much a cuban recipe, right. whoever can leave, you know, and whoever stays, stay is subjecs , and then the help needs expedited and the internaal community has to act upon what it is. it will continue to worsen for the remaining of the year, for as long as the maduro regime is in office, worst refugee crisis we've ever had in the americas. on that note, thank you, eric. i'm going to stop, you know, and i'm happy to continue. >> hector, thank you as well for your outstanding comments. that's a lot to take. in three outstanding presentations. jennifer, i'm going ask you to react to some of these comments. give you the first opportunity to do that, but hector also raised a rather provocative comment subtly in his comments, and it's one that, you know, you talked about the elephant in the bazaar being cuban. i think there's another elephant in the bazaar or room or wherever we want the elephant to be, but issue of humanitarian assistance, if the government doesn't accept it, someone's got to push it in there, and th

chavez looked upon the cubans the way -- looked upon the ancient greeks. so, he helped them a great deal. he sent oil and a return cuban set medical doctors and police organizers to venezuela to help chavez. it's another example of how a rogue slips from one great power into the orbits of another. today, i do not consider cuba a rogue state any longer. i think it is a state that is failing in many respects. it is moving away very slowly from a communist ideology and allowing some minor changes in the economy which are more free-market than in the past. >> host: one of the takeaways from your book, as the world relapses from great power politics, modern day will look for them in cases like bashir al-assad. be this as it may, lone wolf states have traditionally succumbed to align themselves with a more powerful patron. and i should say kim jong-un. >> guest: well, that is true. rogue stakes over history, they do fade. they are not strong. they are militarized or garrison states. they usually succumb or have to go in the shelter of a much larger power. that h

i don't buy the story that yes the cuban missile crisis but but for decades we had to consider that that could invade florida. >> guest: they were sending people throughout the world to undercut governments. >> guest: so did we. >> host: bill buckley, my own mentor used to say that this argument that you're making now it was for completely different purpose. so it's like saying lemming let me get the line i'll give you that there may be an element of that but it was not the primary reason. the fact is, most of the time the united states when it did intervene was doing so to stop an even worse regime from taking power. even worse than the ones there. we don't always get to pick an ideal democratic regime. but here's the great line from bill buckley. he said one man sees a bus coming in pushes a little old lady into the path of what the bus another one sees it and pushes the little old lady out of the path of the bus. they're both condemned for pushing little old ladies around. so it really matters why you're doing something. >> guest: i agree. by the way bill buckley i love. we had some g

claiming asylum to enter the country illegally when they can come through the ports of entry, much as cubans have in times past during the existence of the so-called wet foot-dry foot policy that was later abrogated by president obama. people with a credible fear of persecution in their home countries may present their claims through a normal well-defined process. there's no reason for somebody to go to the far reaches of the frontier, the border region, the wild wild west, i like to call it, and to try to come in by illicit means. there's simply no reason to do that, if you have legitimate claim for asylum. nonetheless, many people opt to go that route anyway, and for them the trump administration has made a decision to enforce our laws on the books by prosecuting adults in criminal court when they are apprehended crossing our borders illegally. these are laws passed by congress, signed by the president of the united states, and the trump administration has made the logical decision that it is their responsibility to enforce laws that are on the books. the relevant laws, the ones that make

>> this negotiationings with cuba, have you cuban people who have long been oppressed. >> so have the north koreans. >> except here with regards to cuba, we wereaking dozens of concessions and not getting reciprocation. that was a big issue. >> you were criticizing them sitting there as equals like that's the whole point. >> because we were sitting down with the cubans and we were making dozens of concessions on our part. >> he just sat down with kim. >> but president trump wasn't sitting down with kim jong-un and making dozens of concessions and not asking for anything in return. additionally, let's just say president trump did sit down to make dozens of concessions with kim jong-un. my problem with that situation is that kim jong-un similarly to the castr family, they won't deliver that sanctions relief to tear oppressed people. the way the system is in place in north korea similar to the way the situation is in cuba. >> right. >> it stays at the top and doesn't help the people. >> eventually that's got to be the road map. the point of all there is there's going to be quid pro quos

the government from recruiting one hundred medical professionals from cuba kenyan doctors say the cuban medics are being paid more than them the government however says the new recruits are needed to keep state hospitals running catherine so he reports from the capital nairobi. these are kenya's new government doctors cuban medical specialists will be deployed to some of the country's most and as stuffed and ill equipped public hospitals. local doctors are angry one to get action saying the process was flawed and adding there are almost two hundred specialists in kenya who are unemployed and even those in work and not being paid as much as the cubans kind as you're speaking they have their name is country the question the argue is it is about numbers that is why we may not agree that hundred doctors cannot help the whole process that is true but what we are seeing in the process of hiring these doctors at higher skill or salary it is because if two doctors. the decision to hire foreign doctors stems from the government's frustration over frequent doctors strikes including one last year
