an interview with fidel castro. she started it when she was at nbc's today show. she was still working on it when she went to abc. and it was the first really big interview she got that she landed after she had gone to abc. it was in this period in 1977 when she was feeling so beleaguered, but she didn't get with the passage of time and the release of historical documents, we know she did not get this interview just because she finally wore down the cubans and fidel castro. she got it because there was a secret behind the scenes effort between the nixon white house and then the ford white house and the cuban government to try to normalize relations, to try to get on a better footing with cuba. it didn't end up going so well. but there was an effort to do that in this interview, this interview that they gave barbara walters, was part of an effort by the cubans to present a different side of fidel castro. this is not something barbara walters knew at the time, nor would have cared why she got the interview. she only t

once fidel castro in cuba saw something similar there from bog oak, he was fired up with the desire to bring the same to us, according to his order, a folk craftsman, from roots located in coastal areas, built, made such a creation, which we still admire to this day, and this is the decoration of our sanatorium. to the fact that today family members, even pyotr mironovich masherov, come to us every year, that is, this is probably an indicator that we have maintained our brand since those times, and we, of course, gladly welcome such guests with gratitude, the territory of the sanatorium is very large, it is 57 hectares, and today the sanatorium has 220 beds, we hope that in the near future another building will be completed, every year more than 700 guests visit our sanatorium , most of these are, of course , citizens of the republic of belarus, in second place are russian citizens, but we can say that more than twenty countries are represented, please tell us, we have the opportunity to book a room with the following. demand for holidays in a sanatorium this is confirmed by the fact t

among neighbors but also among the world and that 's why we really think of great presidents like fidel castro. passing away, but we did not see this situation that we see today for ayatollah raisi, from the first hour of the announcement of the incident, we saw international reactions expressing concern and monitoring the news and after the announcement of the martyrdom of martyrdom, you also mentioned the issuance of messages from various countries . also, the martyr foreign minister dr. amir abdullahian should know that in the field of foreign policy , during these few years that the 13th government was active , we witnessed this end. it is absolutely true. in fact, during these 3 years of iran's international relations, there were multilateral and bilateral relations. sideways by maintaining the principles and based on the important principle that the leader the majesty of the revolution to draw means that the dignity of the wisdom of expediency has been formed and the late martyr raisi with the close relations he had with the president, with the active presence of activists in internation

fidel castro announces that they're criminals. suddenly there's, this explosion of fear about who these cubans really are. before trump introduced the zero tolerance policy that separated children from their parents, he accused central americans of being criminals and gang members. immigration detention does make us safer. it is. it is a known fact that immigrants commit much fewer crimes in american citizens. yes, their argument. those are actually two main arguments that are that i hear. you had mentioned another one. so i just want to make sure that i address all your questions. protecting american americans citizens as a deterrent. oh and deterrence, of course, that when i don't hear too often. but but amongst scholars, some scholars do tell me, like. but it acts as a deterrent. but actually, it not. that's absolutely right. it hasn't. again, in the past. and it doesn't today. people have kept coming over and over again because the conditions in their home are so dire and detention does nothing to solve those conditions. think

roots appeared in our sanatorium, thanks to pyotr mironovich masherov, he i was once visiting fidel castrohere from marinated oak, i was eager to bring the same thing here, according to his order, a folk craftsman built it , made it from roots located in coastal areas such is the creation that we still admire, and this is the decoration of our sanatorium, well, probably the fact that at the moment... family members, even pyotr mironovich masherov, come to us every year, that is, this is probably an indicator of that that we have our own brand we have been keeping it since those times, and we, of course, gladly and gratefully welcome such guests, the territory of the sanatorium is very large, it is 57 hectares, and today the sanatorium -

i will remind you that when cuban leader fidel castro died, one of your predecessors did not express condolences, in general he said: “that’s where he belongs .” the states expressed condolences on the death of ugachavis, as well as when joseph died. stalin, these are people with whom we had great disagreements. joseph stalin was actually an ally of the united states throughout world war ii. the investigative committee is investigating new crimes of the ukrainian armed forces against civilians. department specialists will identify those involved in the latest shelling of donetsk, where as a result the bus attack injured several passengers, as well as the village of oktyabrsky , belgorod region. there, after the drone strike. a woman was killed in a car and several other people were injured. meanwhile, the ukrainian military today again tried to attack targets on russian territory. in the morning, our air defense systems shot down a drone over an old askul, as the head of the region reported, there were no casualties, but two residential buildings and cars were damaged. a woman was in

it's emblematic of the long decline of the quasi—communist system introduced by fidel castro.america correspondent, told me more. sugar, to cuba, is a staple and has been to its economy for so, so long, you know, since colonial times and before. so to lose that industry or to see its demise to this point is, you know, is tragic for many cubans. the numbers speak for themselves, that we see an industry that only produced somewhere in the region of 350,000 tonnes of raw sugar last year. well, that's up against 1.3 million tonnes in 2019, so the drop—off has been dramatic. and, of course, the government is starting to cut down on the very, very heavy subsidies that are paid to keep things like petrol prices down. of course, it's just one more thing amid spiralling inflation, amid extreme scarcity of basic goods, amid the sort of rising cost of living and the fact that salaries aren't getting. . . have really no purchasing power any more. it's just one more thing that's hurting cubans in their pockets, and it is extremely painful at the moment, because this is as hard as it's been

administration at the time, as well as soviet statesmen from the time and cuban leadership, including fidel castro. what do you remember about those few days in havana? - i think what was so special about it is that everybody realized that the people who were there from castro, who was 76, to the kennedy administration people who are mostly in their 70s, some in their 80s, mcnamara and schlessinger and sorensen and dick, and then the russians were there, as well, the russian generals and the russian diplomats who had been there, that this may be the last time they were all meeting. so it had a special aura to it, that this kind of reunion was an emotional thing. and it was so interesting to see that the cubans and the americans were sort of more friendly. the russians were on the outs at this point 'cause they had not supported cuba over that period of time. - how did you consider, i mean, at this point, it's 2001, 2002. how did you think about a visit to cuba at that time in our history, even though dick had a personal connecon to that moment? fidel is still a cuban dictator with a varied, actual

it's still... probably the only one who escaped and survived with a huge amount of planning was fidel castroth the totalitarianism that existed in cuba, it was quite possible. i would also like to say that maybe this would be an attempt, and taking into account that if these are two colonels of the state security service, then i definitely did not miss anything here, and for some reason the security service of ukraine paid attention to this organization too late, because there were many questions . to the security service, to the state security service, especially at the beginning of a major aggression, and if interviewing certain military personnel , we can recognize a lot in this system, i think that the security service will still be able to bring this matter to an end, but at the same time, how then are people close to the president absolutely calmly cooperating with the special services of the russian federation, this says about untouchability or unnecessary attention. from the side of other special services, as regards the activities of this organization, well, maybe i will try to make

kennedy kemeny argue inherited the cockamamie plan from dwight eisenhower to deal with fidel castro, to try to get them out of cuba, the bay of pigs was a disaster, he could have pointed the finger, at the other guy, he didn't. ronald reagan could have blame jimmy carter for a lot of things once in office, he didn't. don't get me started on abraham lincoln. my only point mentioning this is even if there's a particle truth to what you say, does it kill you in the eyes of the voters who are very forgiving to acknowledge this is under my watch and a lot of it is on me and try to fix it? >> you don't really think you will get a politician, including the president of the united states to ever admit that they might have done something wrong. diane: mentioned a few in the past who did. >> i suspect you are not going to hear that. is that. the fact is that inflation, what we have experienced the last 12 to 18 months seems to be embedded in the system and your other guests mentioned car insurance, if car insurance is double, it is incredible, quite frankly what's happening to insurance and i

true, i will remind you that when cuban leader fidel castro died, one of your predecessors did not expressthe way to go.” the united states expressed condolences over the death. joseph stalin was actually an ally of the united states throughout world war ii. in connection with the death of reisiya , a number of countries declared days of mourning. turkey, syria, lebanon, tajikistan, iraq, india, pakistan and sri lanka. condolences, although formal, were expressed in addition to the united states by the eu and even nato. chancellor scholz also decided to do this, only from ukraine, not words, but... israel completely protests against any mention of the deceased iranian president. and yet, in magata, where there were so many heated discussions about the iranian nuclear program, at the proposal of the head of the agency grossi, the meetings began with a minute of silence, also in the security council. moreover, the un headquarters decided to lower the flag at half-mast in memory of the deceased iranian president. alexander khristenko, anna lvova, vesti. the death of the iranian president toda

whether it is fidel castro or joseph stone or adolf hitler. of the political program. trump is unique in the way that he is not. what he is interested in is his own power. our system is one of checks and balances. and trump learned that during his first term when he tried to exercise the total power he wanted and was thwarted by checks and balances. what is he doing with the timepiece? he is trying to build a mandate to give himself the power to override the checks if he returns to office. he is laying out everything he wants to do. he saying, i'm going to take total power. so if he wins, he can say, i have a right to do it. there is a mandate for dictatorship and i'm overwriting these checks and gets what he has always been after. >> we have seen it before. what he does is inoculates himself with any guard rails. cell republicans, if he gets impeached by the house, would never get convicted in the senate. they all shrugged their shoulders and say, he says that every day on the campaign trail. we need he would prosecute his enemies. this is on

walters did it all from interviews with celebrities to world leaders, including anwar is a da, fidel castroefore camp david and after. she paved the way for women in broadcast journalism breaking barriers for all of us. walters joined the "today" show in the 1960s, first as a researcher finally making on air appearances is what they then called the today girl, eventually becoming the first female co-host, fighting her way to become the first female co-host of any news program on abc news's world news tonight, but still having to fight really terrible experiences with the male host, and in 1999, her sell celebrated interview with monica lewinsky drawing a record 74 million people. >> during those weeks did you ever say to yourself i'm doing something wrong? this is bad for the president, this is bad for the country? did you ever think about that? >> well, behind the scenes of her decades' long career and her personal struggles through it all is all documented in an extraordinary new biography but susan page, it's called "the rule breaker: the life and times of barbara walters." susan, thank

it's people like fidel castro . it's people like fidel castro. it's even like people like hitler.armer and ed davey are, but they don't really get a feel of them that much. and i think the debate, because it's so focused on them and they're getting questions that they're getting questions that they don't know, they can make an intelligent guess that they're going to be asked about they're going to be asked about the economy, and they're going to be asked about the health service. they don't know exactly what the candidate is going to say, and it's how he or she in this case, he says it and the look in the eyeballs and that that physical language that you and i as professional interviewers look out for, that really does tell everything. and that's why i think to get the pubuc that's why i think to get the public more directly poking questions at these people, as we do in the people's forum, is a goodidea. do in the people's forum, is a good idea . i mean, my principal good idea. i mean, my principal reflection on the debate that i did was that nick did come from nowhere. i mean , i

, indeed, well , i would just point out to you that when one of the former presidents of cuba, fidel castrof your predecessors expressed any condolences, in fact they said, that’s where he belongs, if you really think that ricey was so bad, i'm just a little curious why you made a statement, as short as it was, but with the line official condolences, i don't understand this, so as we address... despite the unexpected death of the president. u.s. officials spent sunday anxiously awaiting news of the search for the missing helicopter and wondering for hours how the crash might change the dynamics of the situation in the middle east. as the search dragged on for nearly half a day, u.s. officials also waited to see who iran might blame for the crash, according to three senior administration officials not publicly identified. discuss internal conversations. there were fears that tehran could quickly claim israel and the us were involved in the helicopter crash, although there was no initial intelligence to suggest anything other than a crash in bad weather. as one of the officials said, for a wh

you have marco rubio comparing communist cuba, fidel castro's cuba to our united states of america., he knows that's a total lie. you have conservatives -- so-called conservatives at cpac actually going over to orban. they have made him this liberal tyrant, a guy who has gone after the press and undermined judicial independence. you have them raising all of these authoritarian figures up. now yeah, it's a threat to democracy if they end up winning, but my point here this morning is that if you are making an argument to a jury, it better pass what professor pierson, who was my professor at university of florida law school said, it better pass a straight face test. say it into a mirror, and if you can say it without cracking a smile, maybe you can say it in front of a jury. well, you know, none of these tucker carlson, praising the greatness of russia, doesn't pass the straight face test. nor does, you know, marco rubio yesterday comparing the united states of america to castro's cuba. >> come on. >> they're losing it. they're losing the jury which in this case, are american voters. >

it's emblematic of the long decline of the quasi—communist system introduced by fidel castro.y cubans. the numbers speak for themselves, that we see an industry that only produced somewhere in the region of 350,000 tonnes of raw sugar last year. well, that's up against 1.3 million tonnes in 2019, so the drop—off has been dramatic. and, of course, the government is starting to cut down on the very, very heavy subsidies that are paid to keep things like petrol prices down. of course, it's just one more thing amid spiralling inflation, amid extreme scarcity of basic goods, amid the sort of rising cost of living and the fact that salaries aren't getting...have really no purchasing power any more. it's just one more thing that's hurting cubans in their pockets, and it is extremely painful at the moment, because this is as hard as it's been for cuba since the fall of the berlin wall. i remember that time, i was in cuba shortly after the fall of the berlin wall. so, we're talking 1990 that the props were pulled away from underneath the communist economy and it's still going on, what

thank you, first, i just want to say i'm grateful for the fidelity that the castro merchants association has shown in the care and maintenance of that flag. and i have a question , the ordinance says that there was a possibility a proposed ordinance says a possibility of up to seven days displaying the original eight, color flag. do you know what days those might be, we do not know. the ordinance is written in anticipation of should there be a movement to attempt to try that, what the procedures would be and that would involve a staff level decision? thank you. thank you, commissioner warren, i just want to, you know, address all the wonderful comments here and just, i think diversity is at the center of society. civility requires it when you have something that symbolizes inclusion, it's different than something that's divisive. and it should be part of society to have inclusionary symbols. this is also know, as one of the speakers said, an artist's installation, one that stands at whole with the flag, the pole and the base. and it would stand as a landmark with those three things, and
