WE WILL GET BACK TO THE TERROR
IN BRUSSELS SHORTLY.
Janine: THOSE TERROR ATTACKS
OVERSHADOWING EVENTS IN HAVANA
TODAY.
PRESIDENT OBAMA SPEAKING ABOUT
THE ATTACKS IN MORNING BEFORE
DELIVERING REMARKS ON HISTORIC
CHANGE.
Laurie: OUR LOCAL10 TEAM IS
IN CUBA COVERING EVERY ASPECT OF
THE PRESIDENT'S LAST DAY ON THE
ISLAND.
IT'S BEEN A BIG DAY.
CALVIN HUGHES JOINS US LIVE FROM
HAAN NOW TO KICK OFF OUR LIVE
TEAM COVERAGE.
CALVIN.
Calvin: WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY
DAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND A
GROUNDBREAKING TRIP FOR HIM, TWO
DAYS IN HAVANA BUT WRAPPING UP
AFTER GIVING A SPEECH IN OLD
HAAN AND MEETING WITH DISSIDENTS
AT THE AMERICAN EMBASSY AND
ATTENDING THAT BASEBALL GAME
BETWEEN THE TAMPA BAY RAYS AND
THE CUBAN NATIONAL BASEBALL
TEAM.
WHEELS UP FOR THE PRESIDENT AS
WE TAKE TO YOU JOSE MARTI
AIRPORT.
THE PRESIDENT ARRIVING IN THE
BEAST AS THEY CALL THE IT HERE
ON THE ABLED WITH THE FIRST
FAMILY AND FIRST MOTHER-IN-LAW,
AND PRESIDENT CASTRO AND BRUNO
RODRIGUEZ AND A DELEGATION FROM
THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT GREETING
THE PRESIDENT AND WALKING HIM TO
AIR FORCE ONE, AND THEN YOU CAN
SEE PRESIDENT CASTRO SEEMS TO BE
QUITE FOND OF PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA, AND, BOY, DID IT SHOW
TODAY BEFORE AIR FORCE ONE TOOK
OFF AT 4:18.
IT WAS WHEELS UP FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
IT SEEMS ALMOST CHOREOGRAPHED
BECAUSE ON SUNDAY AIR FORCE ONE
LANDED AT 4.
19.
BUT NOW THE PRESIDENT IS ON HIS
WAY TO ARGENTINA.
IT'S ABOUT AN EIGHT-HOUR FLIGHT.
AND TODAY, AS WE TALKED ABOUT,
THE PRESIDENT HAD THAT HURRICANE
SPEECH AT THE GRAND THEATER IN
OLD HAVANA, AND THERE HE TALKED
ABOUT EXTENDING A HAND OF
FRIENDSHIP TO THE CUBAN PEOPLE,
AND HE ALSO CALLED FOR THE
CASTRO GOVERNMENT TO LOOSEN ITS
ECONOMY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT SPEECH.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, BARACK OBAMA.
Calvin: IT WAS A WARM WELCOME
FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA AT EL GRAND
TEATRO HAVANA.
HAVANA IS ONLY 90 MILES FROM
FLORIDA.
BUT TOW GET HERE WE HAD TO
TRAVEL A GREAT DISTANCE.
OVER BARRIERS OF HISTORY AND
IDEOLOGY, BARRIERS OF PAIN AND
CELEBRATION.
Calvin: OBAMA UNDERSCORED THE
IMPORTANCE OF SEM DEMOCRAT SI IN
BRINGING THAT GAP AND THE
DIGNITARIES WEREN'T THE ONLY
ONES WHO HEARD THE MESSAGE.
SPEECH WAS BROADCAST LIVE.
I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN WHAT
MARTIN LUTHER KING AULD CALLED
THE FEARS URGENCY OF NOW.
WE SHOULD NOT FEAR CHANGE.
WE SHOULD EMBRACE IT.
Calvin: AND THE PRESIDENT
UNDERSCORED CHANGE MUST BEGIN
THE IN HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE
CUBAN PEOPLE AND CALLED ON RAUL
CASTRO TO ALLOW THAT CHANGE.
TO PRESIDENT CASTRO WHO I
APPRECIATE BEING HERE TODAY I
WANT TO WILL IT KNOW I BELIEVE
MY VISIT HERE DEMONSTRATES YOU
DO NOT NEED TO FEAR A THREAT
FROM THE UNITED STATES, AND
GIVEN YOUR COMMITMENT FOR CUBA'S
SOVEREIGNTY AND
SELF-DETERMINATION I AM ALSO
CONFIDENT THAT YOU NEED NOT FEAR
THE DIFFERENT VOICES OF THE
CUBAN PEOPLE AND THEIR CAPACITY
TO SPEAK AND ASSEMBLE AND VOTE
FOR THEIR LEADERS.
Calvin: FOLLOWING HIS SPEECH,
OBAMA MET WITH CUBAN DISSIDENTS
TO DISCUSS CUBAN AMERICAN
POLICY.
THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WHO
HAVE BEEN DETAINED, SOME IN THE
PAST, SOME VERY RECENTLY, AND AS
I HAVE SAID CONSISTENTLY, PART
OF OUR POLICY WITH RESPECT TO
ENGAGEMENT WITH CUBA IS NOT
SIMPLY ME MEETING WITH PRESIDENT
CASTRO OR
GOVERNMENT-TO-GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS.
MUCH OF THIS IS A MATTER OF US
BEING ABLE TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM
THE CUBAN PEOPLE AND MAKING SURE
THAT THEY HAVE A VOICE AND
MAKING SURE THAT THEIR CONCERNS
AND THEIR IDEAS ARE HELPING TO
SHAPE U.S. POLICY.
Calvin: NOW, FOR THE MOST
PART PEOPLE HAD PRAISE FOR THE
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH TODAY, EVEN
CUBAN DIPLOMATS HAD NOTHING BUT
GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH, BUT MIAMI
CONGRESSMAN CARLOS CURBELO HAD
THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
ABSENT FROM HIS REMARKS WERE ANY
DEMANDS TO BENEFIT AMERICAN
PINTS.
CASTRO REGIME, SHE SAYS,
CONTINUES TO HARBOR AMERICAN
CRIMINALS.
FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH
HE DID HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET
WITH DISSIDENTS, AN INVITED LIST
OF THEM SENT TO THE AMERICAN
EMBASSY TO MEET WITH THE
PRESIDENT, AND WE HAD A CHANCE
TO CATCH UP WITH BUNCH THEM, AB
I DON'T KNOW OH 0
ANTONIO ROD ILLES.
WE GIVE TO HIM THE RELEASE OF
THE POLITICAL PRISONERS -- THE
ONE TO GIVE AT THE HIM, AND THEY
SAY THEY ARE GOING TO.
[ NOT AUDIBLE ]
LET'S THEY WILL BE RELEASED.
LET US SEE WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
Calvin: WE WERE TOLD ALSO
THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS ABLE TO
SEE SOME OF THAT VIDEO FROM THIS
PAST WEEKEND ON SUNDAY, THAT
CHAOTIC VIDEO AND THAT CHAOTIC
MOMENT WITH THE PROTESTORS WERE
IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH IN HAVANA
WHERE THOSE PROTESTORS, THE
ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTORS WERE
ARRESTED, AND THEY SPENT A FEW
