We are reading this morning. You interviewed him a number of times. In 2002, you interviewed him that went until 2 00 in the morning. That is what happened with fidel castro. You would stay up fully clothed waiting for the call from the president ial palace. They would summon us and we go at midnight or 1 00 in the morning. Sometimes i have to confess, it was difficult to stay awake during his lengthy answers. We timed one of his answers of one of my questions at 45 minutes. Wow. What do you remember about him most or your time with him . He was very arguetiing and vy well red. He was on the internet every night. He once took me to a Cabinet Meeting that started at midnight. Rogated all of the people until the very end. He was very popular with the young people. He would have a student leader who was an accolade and then would rise through the ranks of the communist hierarchy. He had the repressive police. That was the other key to power. A totalitarian regime. Still is to an extent. There are some in the Obama White House are concerned that the opening will not last. Obviously executive orders can change and it does require an act of congress to lift the embargo fully. Andrea, on the one hand, he was a dictator and on the other, beloved by the people in the country. How do you see his legacy unfolding after his death . He is one. Iconic figures of the last century. Was clearly in Failing Health in the last decade. The legacy is already eroding that raul castro has instituted some market reform. Still the social services and health care, health care he exported throughout latin america and africa to angola, that is part of a legacy. Fundamentally, a strong man, totalitarian man and no free elections at all as the passage of power to his brother and soon to be designated leaders. They call them elections. They are not elections in cuba. I think a lot of people are wondering how drastically things will change for the cuban people with his death. I think things wont change as dramatically as some suspect. He was at this point fundamentally symbolic figure. Only heard from rarely in columns he would write for the communist newspaper. That said, once raul castro passes power to the next generation, that is going to be a moment where you see some changes. Raul has been revolutionary in his own way. He has reached out to the United States and has accepted some market reforms. We see credit cards can now be used. Some telephone communications. Theres Postal Service for the first time in more than half a century between the United States and cuba. Also Airline Service as well. There have been changes, but not changes in terms of Free Expression and democracy. Very interesting. Andrea, thank you. A lot of cubanamericans celebrated as soon as they heard the news. Spilling out in the streets of miami. Live havana lighting up with cheers and fireworks in some spots. Nbcs Kerry Sanders in miami this morning with more on that and reaction from around the world. Kerry, good morning. Reporter good morning, hallie. One of three people who lives in the greater miami area is a k cub cubanamerican. Not all of them refer to this as home. Their political exile. Still refer to cube cuba as home. Their properties were nationalized and businesses were taken. Some why imprisoned and tortu d tortured. That is the back drop why people would come and celebrate a death of a head of state. They say it is a long time and coming. Miamis Little Havana erupting in joy as nearly six decades in the making. Generations of cubanamericans devoted themselves to the end of the castro regime. Now they are hopeful that the death of fidel castro will bring change to cuba. The years of repression. Reporter a similar feeling. A new beginning can dawn on cuba. International leaders are more likely to see castro as a statesman who left a mark on the 20th century. Indias Prime Minister called him an iconic personality. Mexico called him a friend. The former soviet union supported cuba. Vladimir putin said fidel castro was a true friend of russia. Back on the island today, many mourn a man whose life will be synonymous with cuba. Many cubanamericans gathered here have never been to cuba. They were born in the United States. They learned about the castro regime over dinner tables and listening to parents and grandparents. None referred to fidel castro as president fidel castro. They used terms like the vampire saying he sucked the life out of the country of what they believe could have been. Shooe sheinelle, hallie. We should note the funeral will be on december 4th. You mentioned kerry in the report. Lets bring in a congresswoman from the state of florida and born in cuba and forced to flee with her parents when she was 8 years old. Thank you for talking with us. Thank you so much. I think it is interesting to see the different perspectives from World Leaders who did not have to suffer the injustices of fidel castro rule and the cuban exile community. I feel humbled to represent because we bear the scars of the dictatorship and what it can do to many generations. Here, we celebrate his death not so much as people are optimistic that this will usher in an opportunity for freedom and democracy for the cuban people. A tyrant is dead, but a tyrant is still in power. President elect trump said he will rollback the concessions that president obama made. We are optimistic that those sweetheart deals will benefit somehow the people of cuba. That never materialized. It benefits the dictatorshidict. Congresswoman, given your story and journey from cuba. What was your reaction . Who was your first phone call . Caller i first thought of my dad. I was born in cuba. I came here when i was 8. My dad, just like many of his generation came here and continued the fight for free cuba in a different way. I think of those generations of the historic exile figures who wished they with respect arouer this day. I dont think they will meet my father in heaven. I dont think castros going to heaven. He is a man who executed a lot of family members of my c constituenc constituency. His legacy will be one of how you can hang on to power when you are a totalitarian leader. You control every aspect of everybodys life where you live and work. You stay home and operated with few exception. That is how you remain in power. Like kim jongil and kim jongun, his son, it is not a big feat. He has been out of power for a number of years. That transition from one dictator to the other has taken place. Now we see what changes this will usher in. As long as there is a castro in power, there is not much hope for change. That is interesting. That is what i would ask. Your change for the people with his death. Caller we hope the changes come with the u. S. Policy change that we will not dole out all this hard earned money to the dicta dictatorshi dictatorship. Everything is run by the tyranical leaders there. Hotels and hospitals and airlines. Everything is stateoperated and controlled. Thats why it is so difficult for human rights activists to really break out in cuba and have their voices heard because they get jailed and they get trampled upon literally. The ladies in white who peacefully marched through the streets of havana with pictures of loved ones who are or have been in jail. Their reward is they get beaten every day and sent to jail. It is a real harassment atmosphere against anyone who wishes to express an opinion contrary to the totalitarian regime in power. As you are talking, we are watching that reaction coming in. Thank you for your time. Caller thank you. His death comes at a time when the relations with u. S. And cuba are starting to thaw. What happens now . We have nbcs ron allen at the white house with more. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. We are hearing from the white house we can expect the statement from the president or White House Administration later today. Nothing imminent right now. They have been silent as this has been breaking overnight. The Obama Administration policy toward cuba is one of the most significant Foreign Policy initiatives that the president has undertaken during his time in office. The question is what will remain when he leaves office . We heard president elect trump saying he wants to reverse what happened. The process started in december of 2014. We know the president went there. Historic visit in match rch of year. All he has done is there regulatory changes and executive order. Now there are commercial flights between the United States and cuba. It is easier for people to travel. Tourism is up 12 on the island. What the Obama Administration is trying to do is increase peopletopeople contacts. To get businesses to invest in the island. They want to make these changes, what they say, irreversible. So the next president that comes in will be hard pressed to essentially dismantle the relationships that have been established during the past few months and past year or so. The question is how permanent will those changes be . We expect to hear from the president some time later today. Unclear what reaction he will make. I imagine he will be sensitive to concerns of what happened on the island. Listen to reaction around the country. The Unanswered Questions of how much changes the president has initiated and how much of that will remain Going Forward under a donald trump administration. Sheinelle. Ron allen, thank you. You heard ron talk about this. What happens next between the u. S. And cuba soon in the hands of president elect trump. He has been critical in the past of warmer relations with cucuba. Nbcs Kristen Welker is near his home in florida. Reporter good morning. Donald trump is on a working vacation in palm beach. I anticipate we will get some reaction later on today. The critical question is what does this mean for u. S. And cuban relations . As ron was discussing, candidate trump talked about reversing the actions that were put in place by president obama. Which included lifting restrictions on some imports. Take a listen to what he said in september. Baut all of the concessions that barack obama has granted to castro regime were done through executive order. That means the next president will reverse them. That i will do unless the castro regime meets our demands. Those demands include religious and Political Freedom for the cuban people and the freeing of political prisoners. Reporter now because the actions that president obama took were executive actions, president elect trump can roll them back if he so choses. This comes against the back drop of the president elect trying to pick a secretary of state. Rudy giuliani, a hard liner and loyalist. Mitt romney, antagonist and moderate. Both of the candidates largely in line with president elects views with cuba. Back to you. Thank you, kristen. We will have more on Fidel Castros death throughout the morning. People are heading home after the long thanksgiving break. Dylan, what is the travel forecast like . It looks okay for most of the country. The west coast is where most of the trouble spots happen. A storm onshore and heavy rain and snow in the mountain passes. We are watching a storm system in the middle of the country. If we look at where we can see airport delays today, think i tt is seattle and San Francisco with the largest delays because we are looking at the possibility of seeing some potential for heavy rain, low level clouds, fog. That reduces visibility. If you are traveling by road, we could see some troubles in the mountain passes. Thats where we might end up with 2 feet of snow. Across Northern New England on i95 up into maine, we could see areas of snow and slippery conditions with temperatures close to freezing. We will see the possibility of airport delays on the west coast on sunday, but the possibility of slowing things down in minneapolis st. Paul. Overall, not too bad. The west coast and middle of the country on sunday is the biggest good morning. Im first alert meteorologist krystal klei. A mix of clouds and sun. Well be at 53 degrees in center city. Easton with the forecast high of 50 degrees. More cloud coverage near parts of the lehigh valley. New jersey, 40s and mid 50s for oscean city as well as Atlantic City and in delaware, low 50s at 52 degrees. Have a good day. Travel troubles. I thought it came out right. It just didnt. Say that 20 times fast. Dylan, thank you. Still to come, our most talked about stories. Including this incredible basketball shot from nearly 600 feet from above the hoop. That doesnt go in . And stars are just like us. How alisters celebrated thanksving. Butgi f still to come on today, we go back live to miami where they celebrated all night long with the news of Fidel Castros death. And when it comes to good deals this holiday weekend, you may think about travel. The list of hot spots that are easy on your wallet. But first these messages. Good morning. Im rosemary conyours. Just a few minutes before 7 30 on this saturday. We have the neighborhood forecast. Krystal, do people need a jacket or what . They probably need a jacket, but they dont need a big coat. Temperatures are starting out in the 40s and were going to pick up to those low fichtsdz by this afternoon. Were 43 degrees in philadelphia. The live camera is showing the clouds are breaking apart pretty quickly ahead of schedule. Theyre still happening over some areas. Clowedy in parts of fell fill. You can see through our clouds and radar map that were going to have those clouds in and out of the forecast throughout today with more dense clouds right now in new jersey. Overall, we stay dry and breezy. And a breaking news that weve been watching, Sheinelle Jones<\/a> alongside dylan dreyer and we have Hallie Jackson<\/a> here with us.

So in the 3. 7 seconds it takes gary watson to beat the local sled jump record, fly, gary, fly. His friend can download 13 versions of the perfect song. His sister can live stream it. While his mom downloads how to set a dislocated shoulder. Get 150 meg internet, tv and phone for just 79. 99 per month online for the first year. Cable cant offer that. Only fios can. We are back on this saturday morning, november 26th, 2016. As we follow the overnight breaking news of Fidel Castros<\/a> death. Many cubanamericans taking to the streets overnight in miami to celebrate. That is, of course, one of the headlines today. The former cuban leader dead at the age of 90. The news announced on cuban tv by his brother, president raul castro. As we saw, a lot reaction on the streets of Little Havana<\/a> in miami. We will have more on that in a few minutes. A thanksgiving weekend of gratitude for a california family. Sherri papini was found chained along a highway three weeks after being abducted. And the president ial vote now set for a recount in at least one state. Former Green Party Candidate<\/a> jill stein filing that with the Election Commission<\/a> in wisconsin. Steins pushing for the same thing in the swing states of michigan and pennsylvania. Her goal isnt to overturn the results, but establish voter integrity. Lets go back to reaction in miami where people celebrated into the night after learning of Fidel Castros<\/a> death. Nbcs Kerry Sanders<\/a> is there with more. Good morning, kerry. Reporter good morning. We have a little bit of a sun shower. People have gotten under the overhang. You can see folks gathered out here. She is wearing a shirt that says cuba. There is anticipation and a lot of people waiting and in some cases almost a lifetime to watch fidel castro die. Now it seems odd. Why would you want a head of state to die . You have to understand the dire of the cuban people. You look at eighth street in Little Havana<\/a>. Filled with people celebrating. Because they were exiled from their country. When he came to power, he took not only power, but he nationalized businesses. He took property. Many people were imprisoned. Some were tortured. Some family members were shot. Those that left got out and said that they would return to cuba when fidel castro died. Of course, they did not anticipate raul castro taking over the position he has right now as the president of cuba. I was recently in cuba. I went by the small town where fidel castro was born. When you see the Humble Beginnings<\/a> from where he came, little home there. An old car thats underneath the house. There are some thatched cottages nearby where he started the agriculture cooperative. That is part of his revolution in the country. When you see that, you can understand why leaders around the world respected that this man who came from such Humble Beginnings<\/a> was able to go to the sierra mountains and in the mountains, cement a revolution that took over control of the island of cuba which is from key west to havana, only 90 miles away. The celebrations will continue. The police have closed the streets and they expect a much larger crowd as the day proceeds. Last night, it was filled. Back to you. Kerry, thank you.

Breaking overnight. The death of fidel castro. The former cuban dictator dead at the age of 90. Celebrations on the streets of miamis Little Havana<\/a>. World leaders quick to act. He ruled with an iron fist for nearly 50 years. Leaving many in fear and fleeing for safety. The dictator had a relationship with 11 u. S. President s and brought the nations to the brink of nuclear war. Now as the relations are starting to thaw, what will happen . We are live with it all today, saturday, november 26th, 2016. Good morning. Welcome back to today on saturday morning. Im Sheinelle Jones<\/a> with Hallie Jackson<\/a> in for craig and dylan dreyer. We begin with the breaking news. The death of fidel castro. The dictator hadnt been seen the last few years. He died at the age of 90 last night. We have nbcs Andrea Mitchell<\/a> with a look back at his life. Reporter he was commander or just fidel to his followers. To his enemies, a feared dictator. One of the worlds last communists. The firebrand started life simply. Illegitimate son of a land owner. He graduated with a law degree and doctorate. Tried running for the National Assembly<\/a> in 1952 until batista seized power. And in 1953, castro led a group over the barracks and failed. Castro ended up in jail for two years until amnesty and he went into exile. In mexico, he regrouped with his brother raul and ernesto. The three led a force back to cuba in 1956 waging guerlla war in 1959. At first the young leader promised democracy. Telling the u. S. He was not a communist. Meet the press in april of 1959. I am not communist. Reporter he confiscated the property of the wealthy and silenced newspapers and signed a pact with the soviet union. In 1961, president kennedy ordered the cia to invade cuba at the bay of pigs using a force of anticastro exiles. The results debacle helped castro consolidate power. By then, declared socialist, he improved health care and literacy. Also accepted soviet missiles bringing the super powers to the brink of nuclear war. Requiring a full retaliatory response upon the soviet union. Reporter until kennedys hard line got the russians to pull back. For 25 years, moscow helped castro throughout latin america. But with the end of the soviet union, cubas economy imploded. On makeshift boats, thousands fled the regime. The legacy is a complicated one. Theres no for getting how many cubans left the island under duress. Reporter in the 1990s, the aging ruler courted u. S. Business men and american tourists. He showed a new tolerance for e religion welcoming john paul ii. And most travel to the island was cut off. Castro arrested hundreds. In the final years, the economy was propped up by another ally. Venezuela. In the summer of 2006 after going through intestinal surgery, castro turned power over to raul. He stepped down two years later. He wrote columns and emerging publicly for the popes visit in 2012. And for Vladimir Putin<\/a> and president xi jinping in 2014. To the end, castro insisted the revolution would out live him. If i die tomorrow morning, there will be no problem here of any sort because the remains a nucleus of leaders without a doubt have Great Authority<\/a> among the people. Reporter still his real legacy may be Holding Power<\/a> for half a century. Longer than any other modern leader. Andrea mitchell, nbc news, washington. Cuba will hold nine days of National Mourning<\/a> with his funeral are december 4th. What happens with the two counci countries up to donald trump. He has been critical of the thawing relationship for months. We have Kristen Welker<\/a> with more on that for us this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. So far no reaction from the president elect. He is on a working vacation here in bapalm beach. I expected we will get a response by the end of the day. The question is what does this mean for relations between the United States<\/a> and cuba . As a candidate, donald trump vowed to reverse the actions that president obama took to normalize relation was the countries. Lifting restrictions on imports for example. Listen to candidate trump back in september. But all of the concessions that barack obama has granted the castro regime were done through executive order which means the next president can reverse them and that i will do unless the castro regime meets our demands. Those demands will include religious and Political Freedom<\/a> for the cuban people and the freeing of political prisoners. Reporter as you heard mr. Trump say the actions that president obama took are executive action. That means a new incoming president can reverse them essentially with a stroke of a pen. The reality to it is trade has opened up between the two countries. Flights resumed. It is hard to unwind all of that. This comes against the back drop of president elect trump trying to pick a secretary of state who will be deeply involved with u. S. And cuban relations. The top two contenders is hard liner Rudy Giuliani<\/a> and former antagonist and moderate republican mitt romney. Very in line with mr. Trump with cuba. Sheinelle. Kristen, thank you.

Like to keep it local and go to the big malls in minnesota. Have fun. Every year, year after year, doing stuff like 27 hours last year. So far, 16 or 17 this year. Reporter six in ten americans plan to shop black friday weekend. Many camping overnight. Waiting patiently. Usually. To score some of the best deals of the year. Target selling 3200 tvs per minute in the first hour. Amazon with 100,000 toys in the first few hours. And at walmart, this woman head over heels for its deal of the day. Towels. The retail giant would go to sell 2. 8 million of them. The busiest Holiday Shopping<\/a> season ever the National Retail<\/a> federation predicts. Americans expected to spend 655 billion. More than last year thanks to online sales and all of this, the federation says, thanks to a generally strong economy. For the first time ever, we have seen 25 of people say they plan to spend more this year than last year. Reporter it is no longer just a oneday event. We got some deals yesterday. We got some deals this morning. We got online this morning and did all of our online shopping. Thats out of the way. Reporter several shootings at malls in at least one fist fight threatened to derail some shopping plans. The holiday tradition which for most americans has become as indispensable as the turkey.

Hallie and sheinelle. That is today. Jacob, thank you.

Reporter when police arrived, they found her beaten. Be advised, she is heavily battered.
