Haram is a top priority. An attack on an outpost be kills 40. Open for business. It is something temporary overcome, as long as we are part of the European Union. Three weeks after they close banks open but things are far are normal. Good evening im antonio mora. We begin with day 1 of the new relationship between cuba and the United States. Today, for first time in more than half ocentury, the cuban flag flew outside what is now again its embassy in washington d. C. Secretary of state john kerry joined Cuban Foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez at the flag raising ceremony both said reestablishing diplomatic ties was only a step towards normalizing relations. The u. S. Embassy in havana was also opened with less fanfare but the flag wont be raised until kerry visits august 14th. Mike viqueria joins us, how much it will all mean remains to be seen. Right the 54 year hiatus, 1961 the last time the cuban flag flew above this building behind me. Now Cuban Embassy once again on 16th street in the heart of washington d. C a Mile Straight that way from the white house. But those diplomatic relation antonio are normal. Diplomatic ties remain strained. It was a ceremony to mark a new era. For the first time in 54 years the cuban flag was raised in washington over what from monday is the Cuban Embassy to the United States. Cuba sang their naicial national anthem. Mistrust still links. Lingers. Cuban minister bruno be rodriguez warned. We move forward in a constructive spirit but with no prejudice whatsoever to the independence or interference in each others affairs. That is part of a strategy for seeking to engage the cuban people more effectively and bring about the kind of change that we would like to see inside of cuba. Later meeting with secretary of state john kerry at the state department, rodriguez had a list of demands. Lifting the return of illegally occupied territory of guantanamo as well as full respect of the cuban sovereignty, and recompense for economic damages. Stand embargo only congress can lift it. Anticastro congressmen blasted normalization. If anyone thinks that the sanctions are going to go away, if the socalled embargo is going to go away they have not been paying attention to the attitude of congress. Congress unlike president obama understands that castros are the oppressors. The president s spokesman is tightlipped who would be named or when. Not until havana improves their record on human rights. Freedom of simply freedom of the press, it is clear cuba has progress to make in all of those areas. Reporter and antonio both the laws of fiction and compromise dictates, what goes up must come down. The cuban flag was just lowered. John kerry plans to visit havana august 14th. The embassy is opened but for the first time in equally long time some 54 years a top american official there on the ground in havana. It might be administration has made it clear that they want the next step to be the lifting of the embargo but we heard the congressman say that he and others on capitol hill dont want that. Is it likely to happen soon on capitol hill . Its not likely. Politics are complicated and no one needs to be reminded of the political stance of florida although those issues are changing. December 17th of last year announcing the normalization that is culminating over the course of today and into next month, dont look for congress to move to lift that trade embargo any time soon. You mentioned a lot of democrats in the white house certainly want it to happen, a lot of cubans want it to hatch as well. But the foreign minister calls it a blockade. Thanks mike. Melissa chan joins us from havana. Melissa. Well, antonio all the pomp and circumstance happened in washington d. C today. Certainly a lot of interest here. Here in havana though there is a u. S. Embassy. The first u. S. Embassy in more than 50 years and so there was excitement. Although people understand that that ceremony that secretary of state john kerry is going to isnt going to happen for another few weeks. Now in terms of normalization i think its important to point out that 97 of cubans according to one poll that came out earlier this spring, 97 of them support normalization. On this day with the embassies opening, a lot of cubans understand this is mostly symbolic in terms of substantive impact. They are not going to feel any different today than yesterday antonio. Right so are there any new opportunities available to cubans on the island now that the ties have been normalized . Well, i think it depends on what cuban youre talking to. Those involved in the Tourism Industry have told us they have seen an uptick in the business. That president raul castro made in december of last year, you have got an impact on the economy. As you mentioned earlier it always goes back to the embargo and until the blockade as they have called it is lifted that is a decision that washington d. C. Is going to have to make that they are not going to feel feel of transformative change. Six months down the line that optimism has been tempered. They understand it is going to take some time, probably years not increments of months, before people will really get a sense of change and what normalization really will mean between the two sides. Melissa chan thanks. Frank calsone the organization to free cuba, the organization opposes the castro regime. Frank joins us from washington d. C. Frank good to have you with us. As a cuban american thank you for having me. What was it like to be a few blocks from the white house the cuban anthem being sung and the flag raised . As one hears about cuba, once you go behind the headlines you find a different reality. Everybody keeps talking as that building became the Cuban Embassy. That building is the place that cuban be government was representsince jimmy carter. The American Embassy has been the place for american diplomats. There have been more where american diplomats in cuba than be canadians or russians for more than 20 years. The change today is mostly symbolic. A sign has been changed. And the flags came up. Right. Now this is very important symbolism is important and you know speaker of the house john boehner encapsulated the main argument of those who oppose the thawing of relations by issuing a statement. He says its appalling to see americas president welcoming and rewarding a regime that has no comparison to american values. If that is the standard then we should have no embassies in left and right wing owner governments around the world. Thats true but many left and right wing governments throughout world were not caught trying to ship cuban migs on a north korean ship to north korea. Many other governments that you talk about do not have troops in venezuela, oppressing the venezuelan people. Many of those governments around the world have like castro has said, that a new spy base is going to be open in havana, a russian spy base. So this whole idea of many other governments around the world is just a way of arguing. One has to look at the cuban situation and decide. All good points. Now Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ben cardon argues that normalization will strengthen the position of the you u. S. To normalize its interests, wont effectively pressure for change on the island something your organization is dedicated to . Well, first of all there have been relations or the all of these years. This is again a little fairy tale that is being brought out. Even Ronald Reagan sent people to cuba to talk to the cuban government. You should talk to another democrat, a former chairman of the be committee of foreign relations, robert menendez, who opposes iran and cuba. What is your biggest objection at this point . One of the strongest points of criticism is that the mairch government has ignored human rights and beleaguered cuban dissidents during the negotiations. Have the dissidents been brought into the conversation and do you some there is improvement in human rights in cuba . There isnt a question of improvement. In the past year and a half, when the president has been discussing with the cuban government, discussion between the president of the United States and a cuban dictator trying to decide the future of cuba. What about the cuban people . When you think about the dissidents, its not something that happened 20 years ago yesterday, again a group of cuban women who go to our church, perhaps 100 of them were dragged down the street because theyre relatives of political prisoners. The president remains silent for the most part about many of these things. The president wants to have relations with mr. Castro because the president cares about his legacy. But he will have a horrible legacy if he is simply supporting a cuban dictatorship. Furthermore the men through latin america is now you can have a military dictator and its okay with washington. Until this president for more than 20 years that was not case. Im sure this is a conversation we will continue to have frank calson, executive director for free cuba, thanks very much. Some members of congress slammed president obama today for calling to follow the lead of the comiefnt. Al jazeera am paul beban reports. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously. Reporter within hours of the Security Councils signoff on a deal to scale back on Irans Nuclear program in exchange for stopping of sanctions. President obama stated. This is by far our strongest approach that iran doesnt get a nuclear weapon. There is Broad International consensus around this issue. Not just among the International Community but also among experts in nuclear proliferation. And my working assumption is that congress will Pay Attention to that broad based consensus. Reporter but on capitol hill there is anything but broad consensus. Members of both parties say theyre frustrated the u. N. Voted on the deal before they had a chance to weigh in. We are disappointed that the u. N. Security Council Passed a resolution on iran this morning before congress was able to fully review and act on this agreement. House republican ed royce and democrat elliot engle said in a joint statement regardless of this outcome congress will continue to play its role. If iran doesnt live up to its part of the bargain the deal allows all u. N. Sanctions to snap back into place. Irans intor toirans ambassador was defiant accusing israel spreading what he called iranphobia. It considers peace as an exenlsexistential threat to itself. Even as secretary of Defense Ash Carter visited israel to try to sell it, saying israel remains the bedrock of american strategy in the region. Make no mistake. This deal limits iran but places no limits on the United States, the department of defense or the u. S. Israeli defense relationship. Were moving full speed ahead. Reporter the u. N. Resolution takes effect in 90 days. That time frame was negotiated specifically to give congress enough time to review it. President obama however says hell veto any changes Congress Might make. Those changes would require a new u. N. Resolution effectively starting a process that has taken years all over again. Tony. Paul beban, thanks. The new president of nigeria goes to the white house. Coming up why the fight against boko haram gets Muhammadu Buhari face time with president obama only weeks after getting elected. Former president of chad, a warning to all dictators. Get excited for the 1989 world tour with exclusive behind the scenes footage all of taylor swifts music videos interviews, and more. Xfinity is the destination for all things taylor swift. Nigerias new be president Muhammadu Buhari, met with president obama at the white house less than two months after he was inaugurated. In context tonight pathy culhanepattyculhane looked at the issues. At the end of the day it does not appear that the Obama Administration is ready to make any drastic changes on that. Theyll point out they have already bifn 34 million to the Multinational Task force thats fighting boko haram in the region. We do know some light arms are given othat group but they dont go to nigerian soldiers. The obamas, Obama Administration has grave concerns, that some are going to the are boko haram. Military. He thanked for getting into office. The maintenance of pressure 50 United States and mainly europe to make sure that the elections were free, fair and credible led us where we are now. It could have been almost impossible if the United States did not maintain the pressure on the former energize government, that in order to accept anything less constitutional as far as the processes of the election are concerned. Reporter president buhari is also asking for help getting what he says was 150 billion out of foreign banks. He said that was looted and he asks president obamas help to find it and bring it back to the nigerian economy. Patty culhane thanks. Yvonne ndege reports from abuja how many people there want the u. S. To join the fight against boko haram. Her husband and brother were killed by boko haram a couple of years ago. So she fled with her six children and two grandchildren here to this camp for displaced in abuja. She says shes happy the president , Muhammadu Buhari, is traveling to United States to speak with president obama how to fight boko haram fighters. We want them to give us peace. I tell you as i lose my husband now my children is just like, they are just upside down. Not school not work no anything, nothing nothing. Reporter obama and buhari will discuss how to help over a Million People displaced by boko haram. Still many areas be destroyed by the armed group will have to be rebuilt before thinking of going home. Muhammadu buhari promised to defeat boko haram if he became president ial. Buhari is expected to ask obama for help. He is actually going with a wish list, a Shopping List he will present to the american president to help nigeria battle insurgency, it wont be in the area of deploying troops things like that but intelligence, equipment that kind of help. Reporter some believe the u. S. Is in a difficult position when it comes to military aid to nigeria. It is barred from its own law to provide services to forces that it believes violates human rights. But the military here rejects such allegation. U. S. Government already provides what it calls meaningful assistance. Some are critical of the trip because president buhari has not formed a government yet or chosen his ministers. Domestically we still have huge gaps in terms of getting a government started. You would expect that a visit of this nature would indeed encompass a whole lot of issues, relevant government officials ministers are accompanying him on a athe visit. It is felt that many other issues may not be properly addressed at the meeting but for many displaced by boko haram this woman and her family, improving security should be the number one issue on the meeting without it, nigeria cant move forward without it. Yvonne ndege. Abuja. RonRobin Sanders good to have you with us. I want to talk about this important thank you. This important visit today of nigeria president buhari, meeting with president obama. What do you expect will come out of this meeting . Well first and foremost, it is a resetting reformulating and reorganizing the situation in many ways. Whats going to come out of this session is for the two men to establish a relationship between them. One of the things that is very important on the agenda is the Security Issues in nigeria including is around the region. You and i have spoken in the past and you have been fairly optimistic about nigerias willingness to help out the u. S. But there has been some tension there, even though u. S. Has sent military advisors especially after the kidnapping of the girls last year. Where does that stand on military cooperation especially against groups as violent as boko haram. As i said in the beginning this is a resetting of the relationship and i think thats important to underscore that. President buhari hasnt even been in office for 60 days, he was invited for a visit with president obama. That almost doesnt ever happen. This is a new way to work with nigeria not only in the military realm but in trade and investment opportunities. The u. S. Attitude towards nigeria is similar to the have nigerian attitude torts buhari. They feel he will be have a stronger hand in fighting boko haram . When i sat to to witness the inauguration, he had first and foremost strengthening the health system, also has a very big focus on the human quality of life. He understands that nigerians are suffering at all levels and he plans to address this. But as you know, they can talk as much as they want about trade, and trying toably nigeria back toto bringnigeria where it should be, but without security theyre going to have a hard time to do that. And nigeria has recently increased its attacks even though theres around boko haram has increased its strikes even though the International Community has strengthened against boko haram. Nigeria is a huge country like saying whats going to happen in the north is like will also happen in the central and southern part of the country. Right now its concentrated in the north and they definitely need to do better job in managing that. Over the last two weeks youre absolutely right, boko haram has stepped up and done heinous activities, particularly using young girls as bombers as suicide bombers and definitely that is. But the other part of the country, there are other challenges in Health Systems and education that they also have to address. It is a huge country. It is the most populace country in africa. Boko haram has bane tacking in chad and cameroon and niger and some of the neighboring countries there so are you optimistic that buhari also with his partners in those country and the International Force will be successful from a security standpoint in attacking and defeating boko haram . We have an opportunity to put a lot of pressure on boko haram a lot of pressure on where boko haram gets is money and recapturing some of the towns that boko haram has taken not only in nigeria but certainly across borders. So i think we have to look at how we measure success. It may not be 100 defeat but lets try to contain them. Ambassador Robin Sanders always great to have thank you.

Mr. Cameron admitted, he had an omg news sounding warning this socalled British Values would increasingly be enforced. Let us also recognize well have to enter some pretty uncomfortable debates especially cultural ones. Too often we have lacked the confidence to enforce our values for fear of committing offense. Human rights are mentioned as much in the koran as they are in the magna carta but the Prime Ministers use of the word force suggests compulsion in all of this and handled badly there is a potential for clash of cultures here. Ignoring the impact of British Foreign policy on radicalization, and there is a concern creating thought crime. To be liberal you had the right to criticize a lifestyle. To be liberal you have the right to criticize governments foreign policy. You have the right to criticize israel if you want to. To be liberal is all of that and more. So for the Prime Minister to straight jacket everybody into one prison of liberalism is in itself very shallow very unenlightened and unintellectual in my view. Not just a muslim issue. I think its a job for everybody and youll recall also that in the speech this morning the Prime Minister sets you out responsibilities for Media Companies, for social Media Companies for schools for prisons and i see muslim communities as one element of that Broader Civil Society strategy. The british Prime Minister has set out its governments strategy and sparked debate. The implementation of that strategy will come when the other issues are introduced in autumn.
