better day nasa and fine and dry in havana. the grim doomsday cult is would hundreds of followers toward tropical paradise. one o one a still mr gates the secretive sect accused of abuse and violence in fiji. on al-jazeera. talk to an older 0 we really don't believe the 2 state solution the deal you still believe in the 2 state solution we listen to what i just said it was that pakistan would never start a war i'm anti war we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the soldiers 0. this is al-jazeera quick reminder of the headlines for you this hour u.s. president donald trump is facing accusations of intimidation after attacking the latest impeachment witness on twitter as she testified before congress very advantage was the u.s. ambassador in ukraine from sickies of pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rivals government ensure lanka how far beyond buses carrying tamil and muslim voters but no casualties have been reported it happened shortly after the polls opened in the country's presidential election and politicians in chile have agreed

murdering the mother of his daughter. captured in havana after the fbi issued an alert. cuban authorities found pictures of him on airport surveillance cameras and tracked him to the hotel and turned him over to the fbi. this was the moment that u.s. officials came to bring him back. >> on behalf of the united states government we are incredibly grateful for your assistance and your support in detaining him and getting him back to the united states. >> reporter: an example of a surprising working relationship between two hostile governments. despite all the tensions over president trump's economic crackdown on cuba. how would you describe u.s. relations with cuba right now? >> they're in bad shape. >> reporter: carlos fernandez decos owe is a top diplomat for u.s. relationships. >> we share the maritime order and we share the issues that are problematic in the region. organized crime, terrorism, alien smuggling. money laundering. >> reporter: it's an agreement that benefits both countries. for example, take joseph dib by, captured in august of 2018, 12 years after he fled the

new year's in havana, in cuba, you can put these down now. joining us from the tropicanna nightclub. >> is it 1934? tropicanna? all right. >> exactly. and we, of course, are here live in times square and i just want to just -- before we get started -- >> what do you think you have? >> i just want to say i apologize. >> what? >> i apologize in advance for anything she says. i am sorry, i too am deeply offended and i have no control over it. >> first of all, i am like rihanna of new year. i'm #noapologies. >> you're #unapologetic. >> that's right. from madonna. you know her. tell me something about madonna i didn't know. >> she's talented. >> a little less controversial. did you ever see her do anything appropriate or flashy? >> no, what are you, you are decked out. >> okay, here's what you're going to apologize for. i can't help it. i am wearing my dear departed friend joan rivers coat. >> this is joan rivers' coat? >> yes, in honor of my pal, i am decked out in the dennis baso and joan coat. i've been with joan when she would wear it and scream at peta, which is not supposed to be f

washington, d.c. and havana. let's listen for a moment. there are a lot of issues there. we can see the translator. this historic meeting between raul castro and the president of the united states. >> as we look at those pictures a little longer, we will jump away from that. okay. we will stream that live on foxnews.com. >>> meanwhile, that historic meeting is definitely going to be talked about tomorrow on fox news sunday when new jersey senator robert menendez will sit down with chris wallace. check your local listings for the show times. >>> on to washington, d.c., the capitol building is now back open after shots were fired there earlier this afternoon. right now we are waiting for an update from the metropolitan and capitol hill police. peter doocy is live at the scene where the gun shots rang out. >> reporter: just a few minutes ago, they lifted that lockdown that followed a man shooting himself just on the west terrace of the u.s. capitol. you can see that some units are still arriving, this from the friendship fire association, washington, d.c. we have seen four different bi

time in 54 years, the american flag is flying outside a full-fledged u.s. embassy in havana, cuba. is. >> that gray hair at that you saw at the face of the flagpole was secretary of state john kerry. he's presiding over the cerem y ceremonies that mirrored the cuban flag raising in washington, d.c. the secretary says cuba deserves a genuine democracy but ending decades of diplomatic and commercial isolation is a start. >> reopening of our embassies is important on two levels -- people to people and government to government. we believe it's helpful for the people of our nations to learn more about each other, to meet each other, that is why we are encouraged that travel from the united states to cuba has already increased by 35% since january and is continuing to go up. we are encouraged that more and more u.s. companies are exploring commercial ventures here that would create opportunities for cuba's own rising number of entrepreneurs. i. >> secretary kerry and his cuban counterpart bruno eduardo rodriguez are going to face reporters and we'll dip into it as soon as they get under way

okay. >> perform your favorite number. >> i can sing havana for you. then all of our viewers will abandon cnn. they got rid of the trump jokes and got rid of them early on. kevin hart made some comments at trump's expense. it was almost perfunctory. >> there are certain comedians, certain actors that try for the most part to avoid politics. it was notable. he was there sticking it to trump. and also making a comment about you can go ahead and kneel if you want to during these performances. that was notable. but i think so much of our politics, too much of our politics is about hating the other side. the other side said that about trump or something. there wasn't much of that at this awards show, compared to the tonys where robert de niro became the subject for days for saying f trump from stage. so, sometimes when you're looking at millennials, what are they talking about, maybe the lack of trump references is notable in that way. when you see an f the wall t-shirt, certainly that does reflect the sentiment of a lot of young voters and young people, but i think what was most impor

to serve at the cuban embassy as a member of the city of havana graduating from the havana faculty of law also masters of science in foreign relations. [applause] >> thank you so much for coming today i really believe this is an important moment. so there is a vote in the united nations right now about this. in 2015 when i came i started to say we are in the best moment in almost 50 years and now i will try to explain about the history of the past and the present and what we want for the future this is a presentation with 46 american universities and to talk about us cuba relations. so this is something that people recognize that day here in washington dc and you can see how similar they are. there is a lot of history between cuba and the united states. so i am willing to start right now with some opening questions. i agree the thesis is very important but i start with this question and people say cuba is famous because of cigars and music some people remember the olympics but what do you know about cuba? so i really believe there is a lot of misinformation about cuba so one studen

>> yeah. it came sudden we had all of 14 hours to get out of cuba. i had a ship in havana the day the ruling came down and we had to hustle out of there by midnight or else we would be in violation. but that was a big deal. if you recall, several quarters ago when i was on your show, we talked about how cuba was a big money maker. americans are willing to pay double to go on a cruise that included havana versus one that didn't include havana. and 4% of our capacity was dedicated to cuba. so when it happened, it was a blow but we were able to hustle and overcome those challenges. and it's one of the reasons why our numbers were as good as the were. >> you blew me away. i would think you couldn't do these numbers. you're also doing some things that don't get enough credit for. you got in your hand a -- something that could make a national difference to the environment. it is not green wash the numbers are quite incredible what you're going to do versus plastic. >> we just announced a partnership with just goods that replaces over six million plastic water bottles across the norwegia

radio havana or radio hillary or something. but we are almost an institution, we are not a monolith, but we are almost as equally distrusted by the left. i mean, there's nothing quite like the little girl of a bernie breaux using the words mainstream media, it's really it feels like my feet being held to the fire because we are at a moment now, our aspiration is to have as wide a variety as possible and no one has all the right answers and this is a time when a lot of big questions are in play and the parties are cracking apart and conventional answers are not adequate, but it is also a time when people can listen to each other or they don't want to and sometimes because they feel under assault and and opinion they disagree with feels like and attack rather than part of the conversation, it is something that we struggle with every day. the democracy needs to be able to have this kind of debate with itself, but between the fragmentation of cable television and the rise of social media and all of the causes that we know the temptation for all of us is to retreat is greater than it has ever

have. >> brian chesky's latest market may surprise you. cuba. we met up at an airbnb in havana. >> i've never been to another place like this before. >> reality check time. >> yeah. >> former hockey playing kid, grew up outside albany in cuba. part of a presidential trip touting a multibillion dollar company in, oh by the way, a communist country. how does that feel? >> you put it that way. it's very surreal for me to be here. i never imagined growing up ever traveling to cuba, let alone having a platform where we have over 4,000 homes here. so it's just incredibly humbling and gratifying for me. >> amidst the vintage cars and a skyline essentially unchanged since 1958, chesky is pushing the future fast forward. you do battle in san francisco, your hometown. yet you come here and you're blossoming. >> absolutely. >> this is your fastest growing market. how is that? >> havana is growing faster than new york was at its age one year in. >> in havana chesky and airbnb were held up as shining examples of american entrepreneurship by president obama himself. >> what's the valuation n

new york and havana, cuba. it's the first major american carrier to fly the route. jetblue is also operating weekly flights from florida. it follows president obama's decision back in december to normalize relations with the island. however, americans can only go to cuba for educational purposes or to visit family. going as a tourist is still forbidden. i'm anita vogel. now back to our special "hannity." an hour with bobby jindal. "han" >>> we have more people working than anytime in our state's history with the highest inkmds in our state's history. a job for your family. a paycheck in your mail box. they're the ultimate proof that your state is doing things right. big government crowd, they hate what we have done. they say we have cut the government more than anyone. the government budgets are always running low on funds with me in the governor's office. my response to the big government crowd is simply this, yes. i am guilty as charged and our state is better off for it today. >>> we continue with 2016 gop presidential candidate louisiana governor bobby jindal. this is a questio

radio havana, and get their english version, how many americans were killed, and then i could watch abs -- abc or cbs and get that end. eventually i listened to bbc and was as closeought to a neutral report, and that is what i expect today. i use a lot of sources. host: i apologize, only because we have to move on. you will watch the hearings today play out on c-span? caller: yes. taylor, who isr. also a veteran and has been with the administration since 1989. he has decker did -- he is decorated. he is a straight shooter. he has served for both parties. he is not a yes man. he is a key witness. he is not going to be giving his opinion. he is going to answer the questions exactly the way the facts of the truth are. i am happy to see that. host: thank you for calling us. about his intent to watch the hearings, many have called in and said that you will do, starting at 10:00. you can see that uninterrupted on c-span3. the radio app is available and you can follow along on social media. we will go to john mcardle who has the latest as far as elements of the impeachment inquiry and an op-ed

struggle for baseball. rothstein was partners with -- partners in a casino in havana with a guy named charles stonan. he was promised to be one of the votes to prop up johnson as leader of baseball and that never happens because, again, another double cross, double cross, double cross. what we have with the black sox and what we have in baseball here is this remarkable story of human frailty, of people thinking they can get away with something, and finding out that they can't and finding out that things will not be tolerated anymore and that's why basebal , and because of babe ruth, why baseball survived that series and why we're looking forward to it starting tomorrow night. thank you. [ applause ] >> i'll take some questions and if -- i guess i'll repeat them so c-span's audience can hear them. any questions? yes. >> did other white sox players who weren't in on it, did they know about it? >> well, weaver, never took any money. the question is who got what amount of money and secot got the most that we know of. he got what he was promised from the original 80. the others all got fiv

havana, the highest-level u.s. delegation in decades. talks with the cuban government are aimed at eventually loosening that trade embargo that's ban in place since 1962. the meetings are scheduled for today and tomorrow. more talks likely in the future. both havana and washington will be locations for those. that's to come later. our cnn's patrick oppmann joins me live now from havana. i was just looking at some of the pictures we were rolling before we got to your live shot at the harbor and it looks like they may actually be there. can you let us know where they are in the arrivals and who's there and how big a deal this looks from the cuban perspective? >> reporter: absolutely. we've got new developments which is assistant u.s. secretary of state roberto jacobsen, the highest ranking u.s. official to come to cuba in over 35 years has just landed. she talked with cnn's karl penhaul at the airport and said she was delighted to be here in cuba for these historic talks. we are seeing this long u.s. policy trying to isolate cuba slowly being chipped away. the president's announcemen

to havana. would you have gone there? >> no, i wouldn't. it's too much we give and they take. i would like to see them give, release these political prisons. they released some of them when the pope came and then they put them back in jail. they have to make some steps forward as far as i'm concerned as to how we treat cuba. >> last question. this may hit you as a novelty because you've been under pressure, but should the situation develop differently and hillary clinton gets the democrat nomination which looks likely right now and your party has trump and hillary comes to you and says i would like to form a unity ticket, that would be, i guess that's your answer. okay. >> yeah, that's my answer. that's not going to happen. trump is not going to be the nominee. >> i have to push you as you laugh. if trump's the nominee would you accept a part on the ticket? would you go on the ticket with him. >> under no circumstances. zero. no chance. >> what would be worse, hillary or trump? what would you likelies less. >> i would have to reflect on that. >> governor john kasich out in utah.

lincoln statues in havana, some of which he installed. in 1971, richard nixon made a famous pilgrimage to meet demonstrators who had occupied the memorial to chant anti-war slogans and had a dialogue with them, which is unrecorded, but which must have been interesting. there he is with the protestors, who are looking and saying, i don't know how high are we that nixon seems to be here. i don't know. >> [laughter] harold it took a while to sink : in, right? >> [laughter] harold more recently it's the : back drop for the pre-inaugural ceremonies. it's the destination, almost a requirement now, for presidents, before they go the next day to be sworn in. and we will start with the president clinton, who visited the memorial many times. we'll just, i know you know who these folks are. the lincoln memorial also has come to suggest expressions of national concern, grief. this is herblock's famous 1963 cartoon about the nation mourning for john fitzgerald kennedy. cartoons have been have , proliferated of the lincoln memorial. it's our go-to symbol of the national mood. there are at

share their thoughts on the new draft constitution from havana reports. their work day is done at this hospital and have an app but the staff can't go home yet. they're staying on to discuss the proposed changes to the cuban constitution thousands of these government organized meetings are taking place across the island over the next three months. it's the most comprehensive change to the country's constitution in over forty years we're going to look at i'm here to fulfill my revolutionary duty i haven't read the full project but i think it's all great. last month cuba's national assembly approved the draft constitution after several days of televised debate. the main changes proposed establishing term limits on the presidency was amending the communist party as the sole governing body on the island benefiting going to the process will help strengthen the unity of all cubans around the revolution. but cuba's legislators had to make concessions to reflect an evolving society and to try to ensure a more sustainable economy for the first time since the castro led revolution to power the p

tillerson is meeting with some of the cuban diplomats in havana? is that correct. when is that happening? >> we've had regular contact with the government of cuba, if you're referring to the acoustic incident happening. >> yes. >> in havana. we had regular contact to register our deep concern with what's happened in havana and remind the cuban government of its obligation under the geneva convention to protect our embassy and families down there. >> we've been trying to get a briefing scheduled and we can't seem to get it, where we are with this acoustic situation from the state department. >> if you need a briefing, congressman, i will guarantee this committee, who ever wants a briefing will get one. our staff can perhaps speak with the chairman after this hearing and we will arrange to get the information you need to understand what's happening in havana at our embassy. >> i'm also concerned about the crisis in venezuela and our role with the ois. how involved are we with the ois? >> i actually had the honor to represent the united states at the oas general assembly in cancun

get a back to the statistics i cited. yes, republicans, 95% think the press are radio havana or radio soros or radio hillary or something, but we were almost as an institution, we're not a monolith, but an institution, almost as equally distrusted by the left. i mean, there was nothing like the lip curl of a bernie bro using the words "main troostrea media." obviously we are just such [ inaudible ] to demand. especially at times, james, what does your inbox look like? >> can i trash the newsroom? >> your job is to have a diversity of opinion and balance and yet you have to deal with these sometimes quite astonishing accusations that you were just a shill for big capital or you name it. >> yes. you're right, i was thinking when you're running through the list earlier of some of the sources of the erosion of trust in the media, it was, you know, breitbart and rush limbaugh but the truth is as you said there's a lot of attack from the left as well for many years and suspicion of the mainstream media. as you also said, a lot of it was deserved. it's not a bad thing for our feet to b

maine in havana harbor in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and other agree just reporting leading up to the war might have been considered merely cartoonish if it hadn't led to a major international conflict the scary thing is that that quote comes from the new york times i think maybe they got their quote confused with their mission statement . hard to mislead dragging america in. no major international conflict to take if there was a. number of the vietnam war u.s. troops were sent into the catastrophic vietnam war following the gulf of tonkin incident in which u.s. navy vessels were fired upon by a villainous north vietnamese torpedo boats those violent fishmongers following that scurvy skirmish defense secretary mcnamara recommended president johnson retaliate and open war then began only one problem there was no gulf of tonkin incident unless you count u.s. naval ships literally firing their weapons at rainclouds they saw in their radars in the two thousand three documentary the fog of war the former secretary of defense robert mcnamara admitted that the august fourth
