Those saying they are left out of the countrys new constitution. Hello. I am have your sport including american zac johnson wins the open championship at a playoff. News of that and how Jordan Spieth just missed out on making history coming up. The first time in more than five decades, the u. S. Secretary of state and the Cuban Foreign minister shook hands on american soil as the country restored diplomatic ties. The embassies have reopened. To mark the Historic Restoration, Bernard Rodriguez met his counterpart john kerry at the u. S. State department. Despite diplomat diplomatic improvements, a trade embargo will prevent most u. S. Countries from doing business there. A report from washington. The u. S. Broke off diplomatic relations with havan a54 years ago. Finally, the u. S. Government has accepted the cuban revolution. The Cuban Foreign minister is clear as far as they have come through sometimes secret negotiations, they still have further to travel. Translator only the lifting of the economic commercial and financial blockade which has caused so much harm and suffering to people the return of the occupied territory in guantanamo and the respect for cuba cubas sovereignty. Those who gathered outside the embassy werent here protesting against the flagraising ceremony but demanding closer operation and ties between the u. S. And cuba notably the lifting of the economic embargo. Thats not considered likely for the moment. However, it was notable that congressional opponents of closer relations of cuba were able to derail normalization when they had a chance. Growing pressure from u. S. Business interests may blunt opposition to lifting the embargo on capitol hill. After talks, u. S. Secretary of state said he would travel to havana on october 14th. The United States well,s the beginning and the relationship with the people of cuba. We are determine to live as good goodnizegood neighbors on the basis of Mutual Respect and we want our sirtsdz in the United States and cuba to look forward to the future with hope. Those who have long studied this fraught relationship were reaching for superior interlatives. This is an historic moment because there has been a defendant war between cuba and the United States for 56 years, and in effect cuba won. Without giving up anything really. The people who long said fidel castro didnt want relations, they were wrong. He wanted this kind of relations, this recognized legitimacy of the cuban revolution. Monday was the day the u. S. Ended its International Diplomatic isolation on cuba. Al jazeera washington. Tom ackerman interesting the News Conference the Foreign Ministry talk us through the steps required for that to happen that would require a vote of the congress. Thats simply not in the cards right now. Its not just the republican majority which is add amount anteriorly opposed to that at this juncture but many many democrats. Sort of the trend seller or the person who is leading the charge is Republican Marco Rubio of florida a cuban american who says without cuba opening up its electoral process to other parties without the release of Political Prisoners and without three travel free travel by american diplomats around cuba so they can speak with dissidents, something that isnt immediately apparent from the at least what we have heard from the outcome of the negotiations that there is no prosspect for the u. S. Congress to drop the embargo. And thats not the only thing. Secretary kerry, when asked specifically about another demand by the cubans which is to end the u. S. Military presence at guantanamo he said simply we are not we are not ab bro gating that treaty more than effect for 100 years. There is no doubt this is a moment of history. Isnt it . So in those terms, how are people receiving it there . Definitely this isn in symbolic terms, it is something that is applauded by people who think it is high time that we that the United States renew relations with cuba on a more normal basis and the sentiment among the cuban americans, which is a very has been a defendant very forceful political lobby in this country, that sentiment has diminished in the last several decades as a new generation of cuban americans rises up and doesnt feel the same kind of visceral opposition to the castro regime but there there again, politically, this is not something that will happen soon. Both parties. Both sides know that. And short of having some kind of a very important change in the on the cuban part i dont think that the americans will change their positions any time soon. Okay. Tom ackerman, thank you very much. Mr. Newman is in the cuban capitol and sent us this on the American Embassy reopening in havana. It may look exactly the same but this is no longer a u. S. Intersection under the care and protection of the swiss embassy. Flag is now gone and the building you see behind me that was constructed in 1953 is now once again the u. S. Embassy it was always meant to be. The American Flag is not flying here when u. S. Secretary of state john kerry comes to oversee an official ceremony. There are changes from the tiny flags the Embassy Staff were carrying to the number of tourists and even americans carrying their passports and flags to mark this day. Its a historic moment hoping this brings about changes. Cubans who went inside for a visa say the requisites have not changed. According to this woman, on this day, the staff was more friendly than before when they denied her a vetoesa. Clearly, the reestablishment of diplomatic recess has a much bigger impact here than in the United States. Generations of cubans grew up preparing themselves for a possible u. S. Invasion. Now, the connell sular staff will be able to travel around the xhunlist island freely. Of course both countries have a long way to go to really normal eyes ties. But it has been an exciting day here in fact many are probably remembering fidel castro wos words. Words. He answered when the world has a latin american pope and the United States, a black president. He probably didnt believe it himself, but that day has come. The largest Cuban Community lives in miami. What have people been telling you about this . Lawrence we were here the cuban flag was hoisted up over the embassy in washington, d. C. Something people never thought they would see happen. There were a gathering of hard liners who were protesting these actions actions. Between people standing on the corn corner over there, faces i have seen many times over the years but they dont represent the general views of whats happening here between the nations. There has been demographic changes here a Younger Generation beliefs the embargo doesnt work but would like to see a new approach. They are greeting all of this with cautious optimism and a sense of hope a place like Little Havana isnt coming to a standstill. But people are paying attention, watching this closely to see what unfolds over the coming months and years but i think they are all aware that this is a step forward, but that there will be many more steps to go before there is any real change in cuba and for the people they left behind on the island. There have been some other consequences of whats going on here since that historic announcement back in doctor. More cuban americans are trying to make the dangerous cross from cuba to the United States because many believe that with normalization will come an end to the socalled wetfoot dryfoot policy for when cubans make it to american soil and get status. There have been sequences many people arent talking about. In general places these moves are welcomed with cautious optimism. As you mentioned cautious optimism there in practical terms, the thawing relations, there are further steps down the line. Well, president obama already made a few significant changes over the past couple of years allowing cuban americans to send more money home to their families. Four time as much as was allowed before. Travel restrictions have been eased for cuban americans. So, its not them that will be impacted so much as things go forward. It will be american businesses. We are all waiting with baited breath. We are talking about airlines fervies been granted licenses. There are many people here waiting for the market to open up. Many others waiting for the experience of actually going to a place so mysterious as cuba has been for many people in this country over the past few years but changes are sentially afoot here in florida. Thank you very much indeed. Andy gallacher reports from miami. Turkeys Prime Minister suggested isil may be responsible for an explosion in Southern Turkey that killed at least 30 people.
