Com for your continuing pope francis continues his visit to mexico, a short time ago he left the cathedral nats in the mexican state where one of the poorest regions. Indigenous mexicans are thanking the pope for visiting them sawing it calls attention to their culture and problems often ignored. Tonight were getting our first look at a meeting with former cuban leader fidel castro. The two met on saturday for about an hour. Castros home in havana the Russian Church leader was in cuba where he met with pope francis last friday. And i was in havana last week to cover the popes visit and while i was there i took a short side trip to visit members of my family. After not seeing them in more than a dozen years i wanted to see how the changes going on in cuba rhiannon ally for exampling them. The trip to reconnect with my roots begins at the havana Ferry Terminal where i stand in cuba peso to visit my families hometown. The ferry is going to the other side of havana harbor. Its where my father was born and lived until he moved to new york where he married my mom who also left cuba for a better life in the united states. More than half a century later im back to pay a visit. Awhile since ive been here. Im eager to see it. I hope they are home. My cousin and her husband is home the house theyve lived in for the past 50 years and they are retired now and miss their son who lives in miami and he recorded a video message on my iphone for his parents as we sit in their Simple Living room my cousins tell me i remind them of my dad. As i take a short walk, ill see another reminder of my father. Here is a place very special to me. This store was owned by my family. Left for the united states. Before the revolution my family members were business owners, after the revolution they became employees. My dads old store is owned by the cuban government and my cousin works here. He sells basic food supplies, some of them rationed by government others sold at a higher price. Javier surprised me by taking out old black and white photos of the days my father was here. Take a look this is my dad working at this store. Theres one thing i cant help but notice look at all of the products on the shelves behind my dad. Now look at the store today. My cuban family and i dont discuss politics. My mother and father made a decision to leave cuba and im grateful for it as i walk away from cespedes vote i see signs of how life is changing here. First a cruise ship packed with the harbor and then a park with wifi where locals are logging on to the internet. As i see these new sites im even more encouraged to see members of my own family also using social media. A lot of information on the internet is very important. This 20 year old has facebook friends all over the world. He knows people in miami, new york, texas and tampa thanks to this. In other words my family in the town my parents left behind is now connected to the outside world. Well after my visit to havana it was clear the youngest generation of cubans has the most hope thanks to social media but for all generations, hope and change are coming with high price tag and happening very slowly.

Can you give us a rundown what exactly did happen here . Well right now we arent sure exactly how he got off the highway but we understand the city of miami Truck Driving southbound on the 7th street exit lost control for unknown reasons fell about 100 feet on to the parking lot here and the impact possibly may have ejected the driver out of the vehicle but several structural damages to the park buildings itself but luckily nobody was injured on the ground. This is a park normally occupied by several children and a Swimming Pool but there were no injures to report. But theres no normal traffic where it landed . This is not a street through here . No this is a parking lot for the park and then just a side street. Here at a daily basis look down on this park and the river this is where he fell . That is correct. Some of the residents look among the park but unfortuntely for this accident but very fortunate that its contained to this area not affecting traffic. Again what is the situation with the driver . Right now the driver was transported in serious condition to the Trauma Center and barely talking to us but he is able to obey commands and open his eyes but right now the critical information of how this happened lies with that driver. I cant see from here maybe you know or dont know but how about the traffic up above . By now the southwest 7th street exit is shutdown and they will be handling the investigation. So he went off southwest 7th exit there . Thats correct. Always good to see you but in circumstances lick this this is frightening what happened talk to other tv crews. We are now going to it back to you guys as we gather more information.

When you are driving out and get involved shame on you. Shame on you and i can tell you what i tell everybody. Pray to god thats not your son or your daughter or wife or somebody you love out there. Fhp is holding news conferences across the state bringing attention to the fact that the number of hit and run crashes has remained steady in florida for years. For those of us in miamidade and broward that is especially alarming because we lead the state in nearly every kind of hit and run, including those involving fatalities. Its sad we have so many people down here willing to leave the scene and just forget about whatever happened. Last year miamidade saw nearly three times as many deadly hit and runs as any other county. The law clearly states you can not leave the scene and if you do leave the scene minimum by laws. Sanchez says the key to making arrests besides appealing to the conscience of drivers ready to run is for the rest of us to speak up if we see something. We cant do it alone. We need your help. So the message is if you have seen any kind of hit and run or you have any information that might be able to help no matter how old fhp wants to hear from uconn tact them at star fhp or call crimestoppers.
