village because to inquire is about the problems of bad roads and transportation will identify that nothing gets completely and then other road no transportation you were singing along and i think you should have an acute as well as the military's whether bustles with four wheel drive with so they should shortly be in survival depended on the neighboring town you name

inquires about the schools and some women complain that always says there is a shortage of school uniform castro groups that children should need uniforms to go to school as he does in most villages chats with the children with fewer people and about their day today life says his method of finding out at a few have even used to experiencing it in it but nothing can beat them out of the building and constant relation with the violence constellation with problems and in constant motion i'll find it enabled they'll be seen maybe it will be a help but always been hesitant to lock myself up in intelligence so i have a memoir is one thing that you and i spent a great part of my time during the country

getting firsthand information in and the turn into the most important products if i lost an everyday contact with people in reality viewer there were searches the case became the prince cubans know the castro can visit their village unannounced on any given day as he has done for ten years at age forty two is still the man who will listen to their complaints since the beginning of the revolution is encouraging it's

because beheadings by the piece this year is the successful surge is no position close friend since i came to the end of nineteen sixty one are some also in seven years and it was doubling every year the more places

i would say it's really only that's such a compact with these people win the masters you know sadly in the last second of the five thousand the mountains the planes over and asked the us many things were that also went on this exactly what's going on if the average us embassy the things they have to do it every day it's a religion mr deacon the pistons

since the beginning of the revolution almost all ages and the next i bring is they often represent his newest ideas as well as current government policy in each discourse exhorts the people to put in extra hours of work and study and to make the sacrifices which explains are necessary and will model communist society his speeches have become as much a part of his day's work is writing a bouncing jeep are making camp in the evening as bell we have a moment we're gonna do it

weakened slaughter a little mildred hill neighbors what were got injured in a great number of gasoline that must make them out of food and i think i'm sure a burger or something castro has always preferred to be outdoors to life in the same year in which with his staff about the neighbors one of them comes from the canary island castro clams that that makes him an islander toys since he was also an island you joked with those neighbors to go in

he had two children she is castro tells her that his mother didn't want to become a grandmother several invitations except the neighbors offered to come into the house and have coffee each morning the helicopter brings news in dispatches to the ever changing

campsite and text messages back to the battle in addition the radio trump maintains a constant communication with the capital castro brings other government leaders to tour with him often those whose jobs relate most directly to the areas are projects but he plans to visit this jeep cabinet discusses policy on the squad and often reaches decisions at the campsites generations of course we share of the cross and understand the work of the revolution is very divided and here it is again is the director of radio and television he fought with castro in the mountains was the prosecutor the trials of the keys to the fish and you make a mixture of a fighter who is now in charge of agricultural machinery well major of austen novella is miniature

he joined just growing real explanation from mexico in nineteen fifty six he's in charge of the armed forces decisions on important at the meat and discuss the fundamental issues major guillermo garcia is the secretary of the communist party for oriented proper he was the first person to join castro era laws in america it is absolutely impossible to do this work without it enabled the country it is easy for one man to solve our problems because it was the government do for example hardly a day but it collects taxes been with us and it destroys the economy isn't the government's concerned private enterprise so i

would combine but anyway it ever strike garner was sort of hysteria as rosin writes about price whichever you covered that's army or you do eat you know today and in libya look at me now that eating breakfast don't know an abuse a time where we should say in the

front yard signs that my teacher didn't and the only i guess true is that if he kept a diary and martin o realty on lonely look i have a very good memory and i kept everything and i had a little bitty all those operational a video from a long range of wannabe of the best thing is over it and there is also dangerous he could lose the millionaires and can cause problems at any given moment he did it the objective to die one thousand men don't usually act just because a role i would say that because of rules as anybody in super the bills that i would say that history is a byproduct of the royal mail's a revolutionary action concerns

<unk> much more than history and we got some moldable right and specifically for years and the eap and his chronicles well what people would say about women we've organized this trip castro makes routine inspections it was a culture and particularly the cattle industry which he sees as the key to cuba's economic future and some notable holster it is our the sons of ulster in

socal the suburbs cows give her a little milk although their region but the daughter's inherited the high maintenance in the hosting reading experiment only at once we go join us castro has practical and detailed knowledge of cattle development and often personally decides to place of one's in villages with lowell the villagers complain that the five cows they have practically useless nearly as they produce only ten liters of milk each day well in the world castro firms that they

are underdeveloped hours until democracy or to give the village have one from which they will get sufficient no one and in answer to their other complaint which is closed down send them a tv to replace and twenty it's beautiful regular much information about what information can only be gotten by going directly to the countryside castro cause severe forms eventually to change cuba's economy cattle he hopes will

gradually replace sugary as the leading export and cubans will consume more dairy meet a generation that three quarters of a pound weekly per person most cuban children receive a liter of milk a day full adult supplies are rationed at several pounds a month castro claims that before the revolution as much as a third of the cuban people rarely taste of meat or milk castro has won several prize bulls and canada and in europe use for breeding stock but castro's interest in agriculture extends also the souls fertilizers into developing high huge sugar cane which is still he was a main cash crop of faith each other's records show

links try to make ten million tons castro called for super after an institution or rationing to limit domestic consumption chris thayer sugar production has remained far lower than the government's goal of the past few years due partly to hurricanes and drought but also low productivity and technical director of thing castro hopes gradually to replace the cane cutters with machines many of which he's acquired from east and west europe in the early revolutionary years cuba's leaders hope quickly to transform the aisle and in the modern industrial society to drop the centuries old dependence on sugar test your knowledge with the discipline wrong costly given top priority many of those at

the result of an inexperienced when they began that just as it took us some time to see oh importance of agriculture has your divorce a former reporter and of open only sugar but cattle right since the troops far away from their jobs vintage baseball he's on castro's easily tempted yes this is their only that and are they afraid that that breaks the game will be over and they reassure everyone that patients anyone yo yo yo

i need cruz says he would be willing he complains he decides that you actually played again and cleats images that again

coming week jeff brady reporting the pony eighteen mckinnon into the new more question of course that we are calling the voters

are carrying from one building from that logically mr plus oregon's going in contradiction with a possibility of developing a consciousness on the issue that would be the exact opposite us about social class castro visited his hometown of sugar growing religion oriented problems here has been i mean libya was a merciless world whenever stories every aspect and i was instantly a loss for words in the merchant with a quiet only yo as a merciless world i know that we're perfectly well it it was during that time in alabama third grade ten minute recess i will play bottom the polls got to but for people that he

broke up tour was forced to lie about a lot as they want and when the priest came in from behind off you'll be a male harder automotive this is exactly the point there used to be a flying about the smoke and screwing know we didn't smoke it only oh yeah there were perhaps no means that fifty years twenty two and some of the punishments punishment my conference under your knees waits until i get one of those punishments on my

knees and wades and everything and you know it was a pedagogy of those times that the opposing appointed punished us because every time we could give the way we would but i suspect that because my former owner of this farm and i was treated with a certain tolerance that's the netherlands via the curriculum they have to be torture and there's also the man that indiana i mean i think as a motorcade route to treating you will of the arithmetic some stories reporter the evolution is soccer's lawsuit the case which you didn't know i keep a mark something somebody

euro and will play dollars us and i was trying to remember what year i can our number more of us there is a charter that must've and thirty and thirty one because it was my nursery school thirty seven years ago and almost nothing that our house was over there was the dirty and religious one is about a kilometer from here time and again once to the desert to university or

the future's at the company he the hit any ideas about justice used to basically maude as a golden bubble just been no one to know if they are and sins of the candidate into political economy here i became aware of social problems hunger misery in the midst of an economy and a credible and women and over and i began to learn organizational says missiles capable of i became a utopian socialism remember that among the first marks documents iran was the communist manifesto from that moment i began to fear a great admiration for marxist audience or was far from being a communist because being a communist isn't only having an intellectual attitude or rushed to report problems

you have to have a feeling at the revolutionary vocation you're not really able to really fight i remember that i really understood the problem of terrorism charges was many responses like some of the american use it only recently has the real political understanding it was forced to take the peak of the power in nineteen fifty two fulgencio batiste staged a successful party support fidel castro them a young attorney responded to the takeover by organizing a

small group of men and women for an armed attack on fort moncada the army barracks in santiago most of those who were actually captured were tortured summer joe castro's statement that was later seized contrived secretly in his defense he said the sentence meaning i don't mind history of soccer he was released after serving two years as castro then went to mexico to organize a guerrilla force and then returned to cuba in december nineteen fifty six on a yacht called grandma in an unusually move would've been innovating it was an expedition was one hundred and eight they overly role is sincere a monster in a small piece of turkey has been over work that was our fear of abortion it's clearly attack ads in the last year they attacked us with everything man we

had about three hundred men and they gathered about ten thousand soldiers is a tornado on the regime and for the other forces spread out in the lobby and we could use the most favorable conditions women really have it and they say hundreds of small to freeze apparently some large wounds to his very tough demands miniseries and it's not just a problem in the us he soon will courage to face danger it into him into your money people in revolutionary as more of it and do well i'm not even going to receive their arms frequently in the cities that we couldn't take the tough conditions are real

and in many different times you know we were very near annihilation lot of those will be trading he was a messenger and taken prisoners from outside money they offered him blank you know leaves he and i convinced the government built by they had done this three times to me on a tour of the first time we're i mean i'm a subcommittee plans can for a small but he was in an observation fine and he showed them the exact point seven million a sudden bombing almost a dollar hard with several lines and right in the middle of the month we didn't understand how the plans could barring such accuracy and republicans a small fire in the morning when the little column of smoke and the third time they came close or east

germans and the label and we were in the middle the words my brother big column of song dreams we find it just a label that is a violent and we retreated ten minutes before the close circle cpa they'll get in the way said police suvs lot of those experiences it would've been very difficult now lore was only being in the founder sos confronted the most difficult tests a formidable task he leans making the revolution from a position of power is what we're confident in it we could successfully solved the problem is because he probably do much more than anyone could imagine in a car plunges it's going to be much longer

fifteen years we ask ourselves is it a lot or is a little bit of what you think he and eleven million years of revolution in la they many years our short time in his speeches castro talked about creating a new man you know legendary figure it was a hero by being a man who would choose rather than the train is it i checked in this fifteenth anniversary of our revolution we shall try the

peak discharges npr wasn't really the triumph of the revolution and the revolution is a profound problem of conscience of the revolution is a profound change of social revolution try and this one of people in its huge majority really aware of what the revolution was yes i'm appalled who hated that overthrown region is disincentive we felt it change

that a new politics for them have been a procession to the masses that politics would be we got an idea of the magnitude of the problem of underdeveloped it and i think that it that is it had an ocean of me oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah

yeah police it doesn't have to be a writer the man says the thing that is your thing lance's be commuters to establish his territory and everyone

tries to find him for you know he says i wait for my house as troops doing in humans is that right the need for more jovial than the new construction yeah yeah every day

castro is it he didn't want to do it the statue in front of the presidential palace nina thanks it's been ringing

what is a difference between the americans withdrew there are such huge inequality is a relationship between atlanta and disorienting politicians like the one between united states and to almost all the rich people live there they constructed buildings parks of women's empowerment of transportation you can hear they're not going to get it and roads get difficult and the roads are really crucial soviet union and especially when there are sick people there are rationing

he considers necessary there are so many years of imbalance to redress many middle class residents resent lena collective favorite pictures and personal liberty it's been a week as man sees cuban leaders very bleak know we're no food no clothing would be better in seventy eighty years a mother we're told he concludes that instead of going forward when a man and forms a government that it wants to become an exile he loses his job and must work in agriculture

until his turn comes to leave and one of the special flights to miami some half a million have fled thus far the united states you were able to get that treatment you won't find any socially knowing the press and then complains the official word onstage and no one contradicting imprint even when they're terrible thing at mit the woman says that you know we can tell you everything tehran may find himself on the american embassy in our ministry of the swiss they're waiting to see if their names are on the list for exit permits to the united states and you're dealing

with an elderly it you know listen and complacency the annual what that might avoid that ever happened to him and in school america's revolutionary education which the united states and under developed it is the united states where it would open up its doors what it may find many more citizens of those countries john q but the

united states has always put restrictions on immigration or long as i one hundred percent jump from the record lows too the revolutionary process and social lessons in fact any messages that cover abortion health care about government was largely known what's this is called a reeducation a rehabilitation for mostly for political prisoners when he was in the military about his crime responded that he conspired against the state where one out there i don't know

they would eventually came out that you have a fair trial though that not only your view of the refinery lessons you've been leading surgeon general ocean or persons he has not come from the philosophy of the punishment and that comes from the need to defend the revolution against his own sentiments rehabilitation was one of castro's ideas adopted as a way of shortening prison sentences and re integrating prisoners in the cuban society but this is still a prison and a prisoner must work to prove that his corporate claims that seventy five percent of cuba's prisoners are in rehabilitation programs in addition to reduce sentences for rehabilitation offers recreation conjugal visits and after a period of time regular homely

a man with a thirty five years of rehabilitation sisters and a lot of it against idea when that will not be freed so long as i think you might dismiss any hope that the revolution in a crime as long as the counterrevolution exist encourage the united states for ten years has tried to strangle us economically and it was quoted as possible that the antagonism has contributed to a lot of the awareness of the people and i would say that it would strengthen the revolution as long as they're excessive government that message on that ended up as an aggressor against the peoples of the world were not interested in establishing relations under any conditions without

government castro's foreign policy since the beginning has been to spread the revolution throughout latin america and this is caused not only hostility from the united states increasing coldness from the soviet union which is as friendship with some of the governments that pro castro gorillas are trying to overthrow cuba castro feels himself increasingly isolated in a tv speak critically supporting the soviet invasion of chickens openly questioned the soviets commitment to vietnam and in particular to say the warsaw by clinton's also the center of yet mamma mia farrow's i was going for a russian audience yet come out so it was all five years in the center killing his attacker as queen or our country

it was a revolution to continue to pay for its security for its survival wasn't a socially active areas you know we would prefer as i said the company preferred unanimous and as arpaio prove that this people saying revolution for surviving such a product to pay the sacrifices will be forced to use as necessary within the next few years for him the future of the present generation of youth to do with education the teachers

they reflect the new cuban i know my own rules about a radically different type of man and one form an educated in a capitalist society it will make a man that feels regular koreans of appalachia among others along with a communist awareness among the plan creates is meant to satisfy the needs of society as a whole new needs more should receive it leads us to receive more for this bureau communism mean sacrifice on denial and strength of being first in everything for che guevara's that same day saying you can't disseminate use of

his life and his property just because it says the first theory and well the new education most of them will be going they are the cuban school system english is the first foreign language is the language of many technical books you know

the military here and this by the way and everything and they're glasses that have a key way his fossil of what visiting the class professors will not see anything with a date me yeah yeah i mean the revolution made schooling compulsory through the sixth grade and innovation provided many children with food and clothing in castro's mine this generation of youth must carry kubo over

the hump of underdevelopment to raise the standard of living especially in the rural areas that have been developed since the last time lows in this place you're with us in seven years it will be a place fourteen years in the

league he himself is so identified with the revolution that it is impossible to predict what would be with other communist party goes functionality levels don't live or institution with photos absorbing a loyalty that the majority or rain was not alive program but this act was awarded on aquatic just because of a little sharper as always arduous new orleans years city patiently family and confidently a bracing ourselves out of misery not in our development we knew the outcome of castro's attempt it is difficult to predict how much progress has been made especially in education medical

care and root r o o but economic integration but castro has never wavered in his optimism it is this optimism it tries to transmit the people he presents a vision but we will i have a formal government that will be an answer to the ideal political organization for economist saudi economy society cia to try and challenge every citizen and to a lot of working and castro's references that's because
