Leaving the United States, traveling to conflict zones, syria most notably, and the concern that they became or already were radicalized with the intent of returning to the United States to do us harm. That, of course, remains a concern of ours, but increasingly we are concerned about the homegrown radicalized violent extremist. And we had an effort that was under the rubric of countering violent extremism, but we rebranded that effort very importantly and created the office for Community Partnerships because ultimately ultimately the owners of that effort must be the local communities themselves to be able to identify individuals who are on the path to radicalization and to intervene in that path. We, in the federal government, can facilitate and equip them to address this phenomenon.

What hes now saying tonight, and we ask president obama about trumps prediction of riots, if the Republican Party tries to stop him. Good evening tonight from havana, where we witnessed and historic moment today. President obama standing side by side with cuban president raul castro. Saying, the United States and cuba are no longer enemies. A thaw, decades after the cold war ended. But there were tense moments today. The two leaders did not always see eye to eye. There was the hand shake between the american president and the president of cuba, and then a private meeting between the two. And then, a very rare, a true sign of the shift here, News Conference. Raul castro taking questions along with president obama. And castro did not hide his criticism of the United States. And, in another unexpected moment at the end of the News Conference, raul castro reaches for president obamas arm there. It made for an awkward moment, with much of the world watching.

Our Andrea Mitchell was among the few called on at the press conference and joins me now. It was uncomfortable to watch this. Reporter its uncomfortable and its clear raul castros does not do press conferences. Thats was part of it. The two leaders agreed to disagree on the u. S. And cuba, chiefly the u. S. Trade embargo which president obama would like to end and cubas treatment of dissidents, testing the boundaries of a new relationship. It was a day of historic firsts. The handshake on cuban soil. The cuban military band playing the star spangled banner. This is a new day teen our two troes blistering criticism of the u. S. Trade embargo and social policy did not feel new. Translator we find it inconceivable that
