>> kevin does raoul castro have the same sort of feeling back to the president? what's the cuban leadership thought? >> people looking in particular tonight at the body language. i get the sense is and from all my investigation and people i have talked to, not just on the administration side. you know that i lived in miami in south florida with a hot bed of cuban american activity, political strength and power and my many phone calls over the last several days i have gotten the sense that there is a real push from the castro side of things that they really do want to make history but they are going to be very cautious because they don't view america, perhaps, in the same way that the administration views making history, if you will with the castro regime. it's going to be very interesting, i think between now and the end of the summit to see just how much raoul castro reaches out, if you will, to president obama, at least diplomatically speaking. >> does raoul castro, is he making any demands of us that right away is a no-go for us? >> that's always the catch. yo

there is still a lot of work to be done. >> first, fidel castro and his brother raoul have made a virtue of surviving in the face of adversity. >> castro has emphasized that he wants a civilized relationship with the united states that he wants people to learn the art of living together with differences. >> and he has accepted that the united states has some legitimate things that should be challenged. >> more than 50 years of animosity and the resentment that breeds will not be eliminated overnight but there is a cautious optimism a tangible expectation these days on the streets of cuba. dan daniel schweimler al jazeera, havana. >> a latin american studies lecture at the middlesex university joins us from london. what are we seeing unfold here? do you expect a breakthrough to come out of this summit? >> i think so. i think what this is going to mark, is a massive celebration within the united states and the whole region. it was the latin american countries, many who assisted they would not attend the next summit, that is to say this one. the transformation is going to have to take place

you can imagine nobody would have expected that raoul castro would say that he felt that president obama was a good person an honest man. you have to just recall all of the antagonism between both countries that has gone on for some long as you mentioned. the world almost came to war during the cuban missile crisis. they are making strides. both current trees seem very interested in making this work for various reasons. the united states wants better relations with latin america and the caribbean and with cuba with a thorn in the side of the region and cuba needs to have new partners particularly now that venzuela's economy is tanking. >> lucia newman live in panama city city, thanks very much indeed. >>> joining us from washington, d.c. rachel deloria larie. thank you for being with us on the program. the has been a defendant historic summit and meeting between these two men. how quickly can do you think this relationship is likely to develop going forward? >> well i think that we can expect to see cuba removed from the u.s. state sponsored terrorism list possibly as soon as tonight. on
