the treaties are between the united states and native nations. and the treaties and this exhibit reflect that reality about the treaties. all of the nations had land. no one brought any land with them when they came across the atlantic ocean. no one brought any european land. there was no american land. there was only native land. and that land belonged to the native nations and to the peoples who were the citizens of the native nations. the european nations entered into treaties with the native nations, who had been making treaties amongst each other for millennia. this was a continuation of that for native peoples. and it was a continuation of treaties that the europeans had. although, in europe, mostly the treaties meant an end to the war. here, even though there were in most instances no wars, it meant peace and friendship that you would be allies going forward. you would have this friendship as a continuum. and the treaties really represent that relationship. they're the evidence of that relationship. they're a marker in time. but the relatio

the united states trying to reopen the embassy. we are learning about these discussions that have taken place over the last year, and a key player in this, the vatican and pope francis. allen has arrived just outside of washington. the white house very careful to point out that this is not any kind of intelligence assets swap. they continue to deny that alan gross was there as a u.s. intelligence agent. he was arrested some five years ago on charges of espionage, and he has languished. his health has deteriorated. and here we have the president arriving, david. >> let's listen. >> the most significant changes in our policy in more than 50 years. we will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed, and we will begin to normalize the relationship between our two countries. we'll begin a new chapter among the nations of the americas. there is a complicated history between the united states and cuba. i was born in 1961, just over two years after fidel castro took power. over the next several decades the relationships between o

it speaks to the lesion that tonight is the america intends to argue that the creation of the united states of america is not great for humanity. i cannot deny there are countless europeans who benefited from the creation of the united states of america. given the fact after the creation of the united states of america moving to the leadership of the african slave trade, ousting their launched colonial oppressor and which before had been leading the african slavery and ousted from the slave trade towards abolition slave trade with the united states is opposed paragons of liberty and democracy moved into the leadership of the african slave trade. as i suggested this book on cuba, one of the reasons you have so many people is because of the energy slave dealers. as i suggested in another book back on the shelf on the african slave trade to brazil, one of the many reasons why you have so many people of african descent in brazil or any country outside of his era is because of the manic energy of the u.s. slave traders in the 1830s and 1840s that descended upon africa and handcuffed every

the united states is south korea's ally. china is not an ally. it's a very important partner of south korea that's not an ally. they covered these issues in the various microscopic issues but i have some microscopic questions based on the human rights issues the general assembly was recommending the prosecution of the leaders at the international court even though they s.

god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> the president of the united states speaking for about 15 minutes, critically important 15 minutes, announcing the most sweeping dramatic change in u.s./cuban relations since 1961 during the cuban revolution, confirming that he did speak on the phone yesterday with the cuban president, raul castro, also confirming the u.s. and cuba are now about to go forward and establish full diplomatic relations including embassies in havana and here in washington, d.c. even as the president was speaking, raul castro was addressing the cuban people in cuba. i want to play a clip. here is raul castro speaking exactly at the same time, making this announcement to the cuban people. >> translator: equally, we have recommended re-establishment of diplomatic relations. this doesn't mean that the main issues have been resolved. the economic blockade as well as commercial and finance creates some economic damages to our own country, it must stop. despite the blockade, measures have become law, the president of the united states may be able to modify

the united states cannot and will not accept this. when we failed to pursue peace, the president also said wednesday's be on forever beyond our grasp. the united states will press ahead even in the face many obstacles. while we have accomplished much over the past five years, we will continue to push forward. we have no intention of diverting from our active efforts to reduce the role in numbers of nuclear weapons, increase confidence and transparency, shrink the nonproliferation, and address complaints challenges. we will do so pursuing all of the available and practical avenues. the united states earlier this month contributed resources and experts to the successful on-site inspection exercise held by the comprehensive test ban treaty organization in jordan. the so-called ife14 field integrated exercise. such practical efforts help to ensure the international community will have an effective verification regime in place for the day when the ctbt enters into force. the united states has made clear clear we are prepared to engage with

this president of the united states wants to see a normalized relationship. the cuban president raul castro wants to see a normalized relationship. we'll see where this process goes from here. thank you very much for joining us from havana. >> thank you very much. thank you. a pleasure to be with you again. >> the director general for u.s. cuban affairs at the cuban foreign ministry. you heard her say, though, what governor christie wants, the return of that american citizen who was convicted in a new jersey court of killing a state trooper, that is not happening. she says that don't hold your breath, governor christie. thanks for watching. i'll be back 5:00 p.m. eastern in the "situation room." for our international viewers, amanpour is coming up next. for our viewers in north america, "newsroom" with brooke baldwin starts right now. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> here we go. breaking news here on cnn, thank you so much, sony reverses the decision to completely pull the controversial film "the interview" from theaters across the country. the film studio ha

going back to the point about raul castro coming to the united states. 's really something completely unprecedented. remember fidel castro would take advantage of the opportunities to visit the u.n. and he did that fairly often over the years. raul castro at least while he's been president never has, he's not someone in terms of cuban officials who knows the united states well. and to see him in the united states much less the white house, would truly be historic, wolf. >> it's an amazing statement from the white house press secretary. who would have thought they're not necessarily ruling out the possibility of inviting raul castro the president of cuba to come to the white house for a meeting of the president of the united states. alina is joining us from little havana in miami. i take it there's been some mixed reaction over there as well? a lot of cuban-americans live in that part of miami? >> yeah. wolf, we've seen very strong reactions on both sides of the issue. on one hand, we have the younger generation of cubans who say, change is a good thing. o

the present unit two bedrooms op the one unit and studio in the little downstairs in-law unit. now is a studio living room consider a bedroom or not? staff is apparently saying that it is because they are saying that the new project doesn't have more bedrooms than was the case before. what is the interpretation of what a "bedroom" is? >> i don't know there needs to be an [tp-erpgs/] on what a "bedroom" is and the department of building inspection has their requirements of what a "bedroom" is. "bedroom" you can have a studio with sleeping space in it and one-bedroom apartment with a separate area from living/dining and other area. i have to admit i'm not entirely clear on the questioning. >> when you or another member of the staff did not -- said the project does not -- is not conforming by adding more bedrooms, because you claimed that in your report, that there were already three bedrooms. there were two bedrooms on the top and a studio room, which is being used as a bedroom on the bottom. so therefore, i thought i interpreted it to be three afterward, two before. and that is i

if the united states is faltering because it's basically a bankrupted country. the credit was gone by the fall of 1814. they might have made the leap in the spring. we won't know because peace comes along to interrupt all of this. >> since we're here in jefferson land, jefferson said that the conquest of canada is a mere manner of marching, and i was wondering if you got the sense that either in washington or actually on the ground on the american side of the border, that was sort of an active understanding of how this plays out. wave our flag and hand out an invitation, and there would be no real fighting in the war of 1812. >> well, there's a widespread belief that there will be some fighting, but it will be very easily one. it is in large part because they think, well, look, most people in upper canada are american, and they won't fight us. we'll deal with the british regularrers and roll over them easily, so jefferson's quotes say we can get to the gates of quebec in year one of the war, and then year two will be mopping up, capturing quebec and oust the brit

we're the united states. we're not some small country halfway around the world we're the most powerful country on the planet, we're their closest neighbor. their number one priority of the cuban government is to affect u.s. foreign policy towards cuba and you see this consistently reflected in the people they try to influence in academia and the editorials that have now been a steady stream of editorials in the "new york times" and the folks that are walking around the cabal here and the members and colleagues of mine that are constantly being reached out to by the regime. -to-try to get them on their side for these changes there's a reason for that. they know if they can open up u.s. markets they will have american companies investment in the status quo in cuba. and what you're going to have now is american companies doing business in cuba advocating here for us not to do anything to disrupt the status quo because it's good for their bottom line. and i know that to be true because last week we passed a bill h

but the united states has an equivalent of it. america was kind of weird -- well, america still is weird. but part of its weirdness was the idea that could you have states that were neighbors, and normally the traditional idea was that your neighbor was always going to be your worst enemy, why? who's going to steal your stuff first? it's your neighbor. look at ukraine and russia today. it's your neighbor you have to look out for. so the united states formed an arbitrational -- if that's a word -- process by creating a federal government, designed to corral states that otherwise might come to blows. the last principle is the principle of transparency. i'd like to show mikhail gorbachev. glasnost was the policy of gorbachev, not because they had lost the cold war. and this has become a transnational value. have you noticed the swiss have been in trouble in recent years because they're not transparent in their banks? the criticism you can make of anybody is you are insufficiently transparent. we all go, whoa, that's not good. this is

then the united states does the unimaginable. policynable from the community and truly for the academic community. we need ultimately what unitaf. anyone know what that stands for? i will give you a hint. u.n.does not stand for any guesses? unit. close. united intervention force. this is a us-led mission. we are not going there with permission to be there. if you remember some of the footage, literally the marines are coming in from the beaches catchhe cameras there to it. they're coming in with very aggressive rules of engagement. they have the right to defend themselves if they are attacked. they are not going to duck and cover. these are u.s. marines. they just got finished fighting the gulf war. they are not going to let some 18-year-old threaten them. it comes in as a robust military mission into somalia ad it is, by any measure, success. it goes in, almost immediately the starvation stops. it is a fairly >> thing to move food from boats onto trolleys to get them into relief camps. almost immediately the mission begins to do

not the united states. the last week, putin is a statesman. >> he's a product of peace and is in a position where he can lecture the united states of america. >> i think, you know, just for a tennis match, it would be the shouting advantage, putin, i think. >> i think putin has out-performed our president time and time again. >> he decides what he wants to do and does it in half a day. he makes a decision and executes it. quickly. and then everybody reacts that. 's what you call a leader. >> putin is playing chess and i think we're playing marbles. and i don't think it's close. >> i think he was right yesterday when he said the president is playing marbles while putin is playing chess. >> a con receivabletive line is that he puts our own american president to shame in smarts and leadership and decisiveness and pex. putin is playing chess and obama is playing something else. american conservatives have kept up this strange love song for putin as russia invaded ukraine this year and took over crimea as russia

there is accommodated history between the united states and cuba. was born in 1961, just over two years after fidel castro took power in cuba, and just a few months after the bay of pigs invasion. over the next several decades, relationship between our countries played out against the backdrop of the cold war. we are separated by just over 90 miles. but year after year, and ideological and economical barrier hardened between our two countries. meanwhile, the cuban exile in the united states made enormous constitutions to our country -- and politics, in business, culture and sports. like immigrants before, cubans help to remake america. even as they felt a painful yearning for their land and families they left behind. all of this bound america and a unique relationship. proudly, united states has supported democracy and human through these five decades. done so, primarily, through policies that americans can enjoy anywhere else. although this policy has been rooted in the best of intentions, no other nation joint is an imposing the sanctions. little y

now the gdp of china has not yet surpassed that was the united states. the case of the 20th century cannot automatically be applied to the 21st century. still, you can say 40 to 60 jeers ne years is needed before the that pr traditions take place. that's why i say perception runs ahead of realities. what i said is only applicable to the global context. if we look loat east asia, the dynam dynamics are quite different. speaking about the differentials in the united states and china, the nature of the u.s./china relationship will be increasingly transformed from one of competition based upon white cooperation toward a cooperation based on a frequent competiti competition. according to global issues or other geographical regions, i think the room for cooperation between washington and beijing will be much, much smaller in the case of east asia because east asia's so much more important to the strategic goal of china. there seems to be a new trend in which china appears to be feeling increasingly more nostalgic about its glorious past. particularly the set of

it's a big player, not the united states. nkly, in the last week, vladimir putin has looked like a statesman. >> he's a partner in peace. and he's in a position he can lecture the united states of america. >> i think if this were a tennis match it would be the umpire saying adventure putin. >> i think putin has outperformed our president. >> putin decides what he wants to do and does it in half a day. he makes a decision and executes it quickly. then everybody reacts. that's what you call a leader. >> putin is playing chess. we're playing marbles. >> i think mike rogers was right yesterday. he said the president is playing marbles while putin is playing chess. >> the conservative line on vladimir putin is he puts our own american president to shame in smarts and leadership and decisiveness and putin is playing chess while president obama is playing something that doesn't even happen on a chess board. putin makes up his mind and does it in half a day. vladimir. american conservatives have kept up this strange love song for puti

they are enemies of the united states. helps all our enemies throughout the world and we shouldn't be, besides, the embargo won't be lifted, you need congressional approval, so that's not going to happen. it is much ado about nothing, but it is wrong to have released convicted murderer like hernandez and spies because it sets a bad precedent. >> let me bring in the rest of the panel. michelle car use oh cabrera is standing by. i saw you biting your lip there while george was talking. i assume you disagree with the sentiment. >> absolutely. i believe that in a sense, as long as we have not had diplomatic relations with cuba and upheld the embargo, we enabled castro to stay in power. the united states for decades has been the boogie man. they can blame everything that's wrong, the castro regime, can blame it on the united states. blame it on the fact schools are failing, they don't have paint, basic medical supplies, that they don't have food supplies to feed the people. they can blame it on the united states. once that's re

there's a complicated history between the united states and cuba. i was born in 1961 -- just over two years after fidel castro took power in cuba, and just a few months after the bay of pigs invasion, which tried to overthrow his regime. over the next several decades, the relationship between our countries played out against the backdrop of the cold war, and america's steadfast opposition to communism. we are separated by just over 90 miles. but year after year, an ideological and economic barrier hardened between our two countries. meanwhile, the cuban exile community in the united states made enormous contributions to our country -- in politics and business, culture and sports. like immigrants before, cubans helped remake america, even as they felt a painful yearning for the land and families they left behind. all of this bound america and cuba in a unique relationship, at once family and foe. proudly, the united states has supported democracy and human rights in cuba through these five decades. we have done so primarily through policies that aimed

by which we established the united states of america. think about the un resolution 16-18 and how that is classifying certain speech against certain religions to be seditious and you could be open to criminal punishment. those are the types of things we have to be concerned about. the united states is a sovereign state and when you have people don't believe we have a border that should be protected, that should cause you a lot of concern. that does not say that we as americans are not benevolent. we are the most benevolent people in the world but the founding fathers wrote in three different parts of the constitution where they call it repeling invitations, article 1 section 8 ♪ stating clearly we have borders the have to be protected so it is not just the physical border but economic borders, borders where all of a sudden the united nations are talking about how we deal with our children so that is a big concern so you have to start looking for that. the agenda xxi and skull and bones. i don't know about secret harvard stuff. i went to a

all of the larger units, the the 3 and 4 bedroom units will be accessible either from the ground level or directly from the podium and this is also the same for phases one and two. i just wanted to kind of pause a little bit on this slide and show you the importance of this corner. again, i don't think it it can be over emphasized that this is the first view people will have when they approach the new development so it was very important for us we worked a lot with ocii ocii staff to really get this corner right so the main entrance into block one is on this corner -- i'll show you a little bit more when we actually get to the ground floor slide again and i'll talk about this a little bit more we do have a special material for this particular building with the introduction of bricks to kind of highlight that a little bit more. >> this rendering shows the building as if you are standing at the corner of arelious walker drive and donner avenue so on the on the left-hand side of the slide where you see kind of the buildings going away from you, objection , opposite of that that will be ph

then the united states does the unimaginable.unimaginable from the policy community and clearly unimaginable for the academic community. we lead ultimately what is called unitaf. anyone know what that stands for? i will give you a hint. u-n does not stand for u.n. it is an important distinction between the two missions. any guesses? u-n-i-t. close. united intervention force. united. because this is a us-led -- u.s.-led mission. this is not a touchy-feely peacekeeping mission. we are not going there with permission to be there. if you remember some of the literally, the marines are coming in from the beaches with the cameras there to catch it. they're coming with very aggressive rules of engagement. you can read some of them up there. they have the right to defend themselves if they are attacked. they are not going to duck and cover. these are u.s. marines. they just got done fighting the gulf war. they are not going to let some 18-year-old thugs who are likely stoned on a narcotic they chew, right, threaten them. so the u.s. come

people asking about the capacity of the united states. that is why people ask the question about the authority of the president to send troops to war. what president obama did last year on syria, i know the argument, but he built up every reporter in this building knows that he built up for one solid week the white house, the image of the united states about to go to war in syria and then on saturday morning when there was something going on with the russians that might have led to giving up its chemical weapons. that must be knowledge. he took a walk around the white house grounds with denis mcdonough, his chief of staff. very energetic, very healthy he , came back and told war he is given up the idea of attacking syria. in the middle east, if you were an american banker, you ask what america backer, you asked what the heck is going on there? if you didn't like america, usa, told you these guys cannot be depended on. and people who are in the leadership of the taliban, al qaeda, the islamic state, they say america cannot be depended on. t

he is being flown to the united states. he has been imprisoned there for five years after being sentenced to 15 years by the cuban government. gross claimed he was in cuba providing internet equipment to allow the jewish community to contact the world in ways that are hard to do in cuba. the cuban government claimed he was involved in activities counter to the cuban government that he was providing military equipment. he was arrested convicted and sentenced to 15 years. the five years in prison have been very tough. he has deteriorated in terms of his health. he is said to be in very poor health. he's lost a lot of weight. he's missing teeth. he is in quiet bad shape. there's been pressure from the u.s. government to release him and that has happened today on humanitarian grounds. recently, president obama said it was important to do this to help improve relations with cuba. former president bill clinton was here in miami saying the same thing last week saying the release of alan gross could lead to better relations with cub

. >> today the united states of america is changing its relationship with the people of cuba. and the most significant changes in our policy in more than 50 years, we will in an outdated approach that for decades has failed to advance our interests and instead, we will begin to normalize relations between our two countries. >> president obama announces the united states will restore full diplomatic relations with cuba for the first time in more than half a century. part of the deal includes cuba's release of u.s. contractor alan gross, as well as a cuban spy. the u.s. released the final three members of the cuban five. cuban president raul castro also addressed the cuban people. >> this in no way means that the heart of the matter has been solved. the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, which causes enormous human and economic damages to our country, must cease. >> we will spend the hour in a roundtable discussion, we'll go to havana to speak with kornbluh, who wrote, "back channel to cuba: the hidden history of negotiations between washington and havana." gd we will

finally, there's we're really interested in findings what is our role in the 10 thousand units through the entitlement process first one we did was take a look at how long does it take for long term and middle units from the environmental review to the construction we take a look at basically 50 units size projects those thresholds are at the time set for that if we want to produce the units on time the largest project will be entitled to the planning department in 2016 and starred construction in 2018 this helps us zoom in on what the planning department needs to achieve some smaller projects stretch auto past the timeline bus that's our initial piece we've made great progress and working to create a web tool to allow the public and folks to see our intermediate goals and progress throughout the years. >> and then specifically there have a lot of questions how to reach the 10 affordable units that to me that's the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity of the work we're doing and as you can see this is a profile of with where the units we know about and the affordable housing p

every don't guess the sound like affordable and rerld units is a direct attack on residents rights it's an attack on the integrity and an attack on the promise made by the establishment of that system the failure to enforce the policies is one of the rot causes of the affordability crisis in this city most recent controllers report referenced by supervisor mar tells us the city has losses more 2 thousand rent control units others as metcalf over at spur and the tenants union say it is much honoree that they're being lost to demolition or converging and replacement with no construction that is not subject to rent control during this crisis every supervisor and every elected official for the city has you talked the talk wanting to fight the affordable crisis and wanting to keep the poor and less affluent in our city this is where you get to walk the walk and show the talk is more than empty words and you care about displacement and ugly be the check and balance against what the mayor says in our residential neighborhoods the department analysis

it's not the scenario that the united states has war gamed out extensively. ey expected cyberattacks make be something to hit the pentagon or financial markets or critical u.s. infrastructure but to pull hollywood studios e-mails and have a devastating impact on a hollywood studio and hit a core american principle like freedom of speech wasn't in a lot of the play books so there isn't really a developed response plan sitting on a shelf somewhere that they can pull down and say this is what we're going to do. all of the options here for the united states are very very tricky including retaliation in full cyber war fashion against the north koreans because united states company versus a lot more at stakes here than north korean industry does. >> just thinking. let me come back to you on the idea that diplomatically they're going to reach out across asia and in particular to the chinese to consult on what they should do with north korea. am i right in suggesting that in the past china has to an extend stood by or shielded north corr korea and if you were going to

the united states is conducting air strikes, how have u.s. air strikes affected the flow of foreign fighters into syria? if it has. >> with my sense looking at the numbers is that it's hard to say at this point that what the impact is, it is relatively soon after these strikes have taken place, the numbers that we monitor, the numbers that we track, are estimates at best, and again i think it's probably early to determine precisely what the impact is, it's obviously precisely what the impact is. it's obviously something, again, that our intelligence community is looking at, and it's possible that in a classified briefing they might be able to give you their assessment. again, from my perspective, the numbers, again, can vary for a variety of reasons. sometimes it's because we get better information from our partners. and that results in an increase in the estimate. >> so we don't know if it's effective or not? >> i would say that if the issue is effective in reducing the flow of foreign fighters i would say at this point i would want to see mo

the last vote at the united nations on this question of an embargo of the united states, the united ates was on the short end of that by a count of 192-2. so the president saying that you do something for five decades, it is clearly not working it's time to change strategy. what a dramatic event for the president, to be on the phone for 45 minutes last night with raul castro, the first and really only communication we know about in some five decades. >> indeed. jamie if memory serves me directly, president obama had an impromptu handshake with raul castro at nelson mandela's funeral this year. but this is taking a lot of people by surprise. >> and one of the things that people are debating is what did the united states actually get out of this deal? that was part of the criticism from marco rubio, and one benefit the u.s. right reap from this, is support from many of the countries in this hemisphere as mike viqueira pointed out, the u.s. was pretty much alone in the world in supporting this embargo. and it was a problem for other countries in central and south america, because whenev

now he's here in the united states. >> this is a foreign asset now in the united states. nd the price the u.s. paid, though, was it worth it? >> i'm just saying, wolf, in reality, when you go into these negotiations, get something that makes the negotiation worth it. at the end of the day, what would have been worth it is to get cuba to open its system so that workers are paid directly. >> so mr. chairman, if that happens, if there's an easing of the oppression. remember, result castro, fidel castro, they're well into their 80s right now. we don't know what the new leadership is going to do. but if in fact this step by president obama eases the repression, improves the relationship between cubans and americans, it will have been worth it? >> if we get this other step that i've just suggested where the workers are empowered to get their paychecks directly. and the money doesn't go into the account which is spent to subvert governments. i'm just back from latin and central america. i've seen the damage cuba has done by funding revolution in south kor central america. >> let

i think the united states is responding to this. i was in cuba a year ago, and the level of discontent and the level of people speaking about even beheading generals was very, very open. i think that we are living and looking at this precarious situation, hopefully what this will do is that it will at least put the ball in the cuban government's court, and i think the president said they're not letting up in terms of saying that it's important to respect human rights, to open up the economy, and to allow families to work with each other. >> ambassador, apart from the optics and rewarding or not rewarding the regime do political makers worry about rafters coming on to the florida shore and there are thousands-- >> absolutely. there are a lot of considerations that people discuss when discussing changes and "n" policy. i think there will be a movement of people if the doors are hope. however, i think with a possible change--with the change in policy more information getting to the island, people hopefully, and maybe this is me being op
