In miami. Now, we have a live report from abcs lana zac. Reporter good morning. Fidel castro will be cremated today and his remains will travel around his country during the next nine days of official mourning in cuba. It is so different from the reaction here in the united states. This is the scene from miamis Little Havana, a few hours after the announcement of castros death at 90. [ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter he was born on august 13th, 1926 in orienta province, cuba. As a child he was educated at private Catholic Schools and later went on to study law at the university of havana. Castro became an advocate for the poor but went on to rule cuba for more than 40 years with an iron fist. I am not afraid. I feel honored of being a communist and i hope i will be to the last breath. Joined forces with the soviet union. The u. S. Retaliated by breaking off diplomatic relations with cuba and opposing a trade embargo. In 1961 president john f. Kennedy approved a cia invasion force of 1,300 cuban exiles who went ashore at the bay of pigs. Castro was able to fend off the invasion. In 1962 american spy planes discovered he had allowed the soviets to put Nuclear Missiles in cuba. I have directed the armed forces to prepare for any reporter u. S. Naval vessels moved in and the soviets backed down in a pledge that america would not attack cuba. Soviet regime castro promoted eventually produced dissent. In 1980 thousands of cubans braved rough seas and dehydration to reach america. In the early 1990s, the fall of the u. S. S. R. Cost cuba billions of dollars in soviet assistance and trade leading to widespread shortages and rationing. The demise of the soviet equivalent of treason. We have also failed and been betrayed. Reporter in 1999 there will be more conflict with the u. S. When the eyes of the world were once again focused on castro during a bitter fight over the fate of a 5yearold cuban boy named elan gonzalez. In may 2002, president george bush announced his initiative for a new cuba, saying he would maintain the embargo against the country unless castro stepped down from power. To remain free and fair, they must give opposition candat and speak. Reporter in 2006 castro temporarily handed over some of his powers to his younger brother raoul as he battled health problems, but he never returned to power. Before his death, there were many changes in cuba, reestablishing diplomatic ties with the u. S. And president obamas historic visit there earlier this year. And now the world will likely see even more changes with fidel castro gone. Some World Leaders are starting to weigh in, but there is no who made the normalizing the u. S. Cuban relations an issue out on the campaign trail. Reporting live from washington, lana zac, abc news, back to you. Now a live look outside this morning at Public Square.

Reporter seat belts on large school buses, only six states have them right now, ohio isnt one of them. And these parents want to know why.

It goes on to say there are real concerns about costs, but nhtsa is working with the states that do mandate seat belts on school buses to learn ways to deal with costs and other factors. By the way, installing belts on one school bus could cost anywhere from 7,000 to to 11. 000, but to these parents, you cant put a price tag on these childrens safety if we possible from their education and home safe, then thats what we need to do.

If i have to put the buckle on no matter what, they should have to too. Reporter castle points out if a fire breaks out on a bus or it crashes into water, those consequences are just as bad. Kids would be trapped with their seat belts on. If they were across the theyre five times more likely to die than if they didnt have the seat belt on in the first place. Reporter last november for the first time ever, the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration endorsed using seat belts on school buses, the same buckles you and i use in our cars everyday. In a Statement Released to news 5, a spokesperson told us it has led to promising discussions. It goes on to say there are real concerns about costs, but nhtsa are working with states that do mandate seat belts on school buses to learn ways to deal with costs by the way, installing belts on one school bus could cost anywhere from 7,000 to 11. 000, but for these parents, you cant put a price tag on a childs safety if we can do whatever we can do to make it possible to make sure they get to their education and back home safe, then thats what we need to do.

The revolution is not negotiable, socialism is not negotiable, sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable. That i would never seek. Does it seem crazy to you that american president s every four years allow the American People just to vote them out of power, that they put their entire power at risk every four short for any serious program that you want to undertake.
