The governmentrun newspaper claims these photos are about two weeks old. There hasnt been an official photo of castro in about six months. We are joined on the line with more on this. Patrick, the big question, why now . Caller you know, according to this author who released the pictures and hes a University Leader part of the Cuban University system. And he says that because cuba was anxious to know about fidel castro. Thats certainly true because not only has it been more than five months since weve seen any photos of fidel castro but we havent seen any photos of him, really hadnt had any word of him until recently since that historic announcement that the United States and cuba would restore diplomatic ties. Perhaps fidel castro was unable to comment, perhaps he had some sort of illness, and that continued on for some time. And then we did get a column from fidel castro, sort of giving his tentative approval to this deal that his brother has struck with the u. S. To restore diplomatic relations. So that really wasnt enough. Now well see if these more than 20 images john, if these images that appear to have been taken in recent weeks. You can look at some of the photos and see newspapers and Television Programs to give you a sense of when they were taken. And well see, john if the new images silence some of the doubters who believe that fidel castro that something had happened and he was unable to comment. Certainly, the cuban government casting doubt on some of the people who said that fidel castro must not be alive. And these 20 photos are providing some proof that this 88yearold former leader of cuba is in fact still with us. And not looking too bad, for an 88yearold man in bad health, okay patrick, thank you, Patrick Alman on the line there for us. The United States is considering sending defensive arms to help ukraine battle prorussian rebels in the east. That could include antitank and antiaircraft weapons. This comes as fighting nswer is to squeeze russia apply pressure on russia try to get them to the table with those separatists, so we can see a peaceful deescalation here. And, again, were always going to be able to apply more pressure on russia through economic pressure than the infusion of more weapons into ukraine. This would be a major policy shift for the u. S.

And its allies to do more. Arm ukrainian forces. With defensive but lethal aid. We havent taken options off the table. Reporter the president said this in india last week. I will look at all additional options that are available to us short of military confrontation. Reporter the tricky question though would arming ukraine end up a deterrent or stoke the fire into a proxy war with russia as the white house has worried. A group of Foreign Policy experts, including former Administration Officials just put out a report calling the situation critical. Urging the u. S. And nato to directly arm ukrainian forces, inclusion antiarmor missiles. The proposal is not to give ukraine enough to beat the russian army. We cant do that. But we want the ukrainians to be able to raise the cost of aggression to the Russian Military so that the russians consider the cost too high, and that takes away the option from russia of further aggression further escalation. Reporter in the words of president poroshenko before the u. S. Congress wanting aid for months. Please understand me correctly. Blankets nightvision goggles are also important, but one cannot win the war with blankets. [ applause ] reporter Michelle Kosinski cnn, the white house.

This journalist said i felt a mix of emotions and had no expectation of being freed. I cant tell you of how relieved i am of being free. I really didnt expect we were settling in for a period of months in prison and for the retrial. So to be out today with a few minutes notice, really is just extraordinary. Amidst all of this relief i still feel a sense of concern a real sense of worry, because if its appropriate for me if its right for me to be free then its right for all of them to be free.

The outbreak has slowed which could hurt the testing, thats because they wont have enough patients to see if the vaccine is making a difference. In the United States, though the measles vaccine has made a difference. So much so the disease was declared eliminated 15 years ago. But now theres a new outbreak linked to disney land visitors. And as jake tapper reports, its becoming part of the political dont as well. All i can say is we vaccinated ours but i also understand that parents need to have some measure of choice in things as well.

But as vaccinations increased, the number of pleasele cases in the blue dropped dramatically. There are fewer than 200,000 cases per year with four out of five children now receiving the vaccine. And later this hour well go deeper into the numbers to see why the cases of measles are spreading, even where vaccinations are readily available.
