How will Cubans welcome America? BBC News
As the Summit of the Americas gets under way on Friday, all eyes will be on whether an historic meeting occurs between President Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro on the sidelines.
The last time a US President and his Cuban opposite number met was over 60 years ago. Jon Sopel is in Havana, to see what Cubans make of this sudden thaw in relations.

Airstrikes hit Kuwait airport – 1 dead and 60 injured – Iran and US launch more attacks | BBC News
One person has been killed and more than 60 injured in strikes on Kuwait’s international airport.
Kuwait’s defence ministry spokesman blamed Iran, saying drones had attacked the airport, and called it “criminal Iranian aggression”.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility for the attacks, claiming the damage was caused by an error from a US missile interceptor.
US Central Command said this was false and also accused Iran in targeting the airport in what it called a “deliberate, calculated and unjustified attack”.
The IRGC said it had targeted US bases in the Gulf in retaliation for US strikes on an Iranian oil tanker and Qeshm Island.
The US said it had launched “self-defence” strikes on Iran, and shot down or intercepted Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait and Bahrain.

The US military said it launched “self-defence” strikes on Iran overnight, and shot down ballistic missiles and drones fired at ships and Gulf countries.
The strikes on Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz, were “in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East”, US Central Command (Centcom) said.
Iran said it had attacked US bases and helicopters in a “regional country” using missiles and drones in retaliation. Centcom said Tehran fired two missiles at Kuwait and three at Bahrain, all of which broke apart or were intercepted.
Kuwait’s army later said Iranian drones had hit its international airport, causing “significant” building damage and injuries to a number of people.
The latest attacks come amid stalled ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran, after talks on a deal to end the months-long war failed to advance over the weekend.

The US and Iran have traded strikes, as negotiations to extend their ceasefire drag on without a resolution. On Monday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted an air base used by US forces. It also threatened to open “new fronts” in the conflict, and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, in response to Israel’s offensive in Lebanon.
So how great a threat does Iran’s military pose to the US and its allies, after more than three months of war?
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that Iran’s forces have been “decimated”. But new analysis by the BBC has found that Iran has damaged at least 20 US military sites across the Middle East since the start of the war – suggesting the attacks are more extensive than publicly acknowledged. Using cheap drones, Iran has targeted American military equipment worth millions of dollars including THAAD batteries.
Iranian forces have also reportedly reopened several missile sites damaged early in the conflict.
We ask Merlyn Thomas from BBC Verify and Parham Ghobadi from BBC Persian about Iran’s military capacity and what it means for the chances of a deal between Washington and Tehran.

I turned down a gig in Cuba because they don't have 4g service. I can't be offline because of my other businesses. They need to get internet mobile savvy.

Make no mistake…. once the American money comes in it will entrench itself into every aspect of cuban society and the people will see how much they have been missing. The youth wont give a damn about their grandfather's revolution and the govt will slowly lose its power. Then it will either get better with free open elections or we will have decades of civil unrest. With American money and products comes the cia, nsa, fbi, etc…. make no mistake.

How is an American buying a guys classic car for lets say $100,000 and changing that cubans family for the better a problem? The sale of that old car could pay for that cubans kids college or a new home… Honestly that guy in the vid with the green hat and red start is a jerk.

like everything else take it slow and in moderation. with the help of the internet keep it in the open. let the people who did not run and stayed in there country decide. and for those who started this mess over fifty years ago hold them accountable. but be careful because they are some ruthless s.o.b.´s. but all good things come with the bad. there goes my toilet paper/ used telephone book exports from here in "cali". and i bet the "cohs" and the m. c. puros prices are going up for my gringo importers. thank ceilo the chinos are all ready flooding the market with there knock-off cigars, damn. \//,
