NPR ARTICLE
CUBA - RAUL CASTRO

Many people thought that the new Raul Castro change many things in Cuba but with the time we can´t see any important change, and it´s sad because the people in Cuba don’t want the actual regimen.
I think that USA and the countries of the “first word” should pressure Cuba to change the laws to the political prisoners. I will like ask to the President of USA if he think that economic embargo the U.S. has maintained for the past 40 years over Cuba was successful, because for me the life in the island it´s the same since Fidel Castro took the power-

Ireland Cites Uzbekistan-Bahrain Decision in Appeal

This week, France and Ireland played the last game to decide who goes to Soccer World Cup in South Africa 2010. In the last minute Thierry Henry (France Player), touch de ball with his hand and the play ended in scoring which meant the classification of France and the consequent elimination of Ireland. Ireland Soccer Association submitted a formal proposal to FIFA in order that the game is repeated using as a main argument that you can not let the refereeing errors still determine the fate of the teams. It is time that football referees can use the video in order to review plays polemics as allowed in other sports.
For me it's time to allow the use of video in soccer games. The video will be very good tools that change the soccer and allow to the referees take more just decisions.

Study: Repression Continues In Raul's Cuba

The recent study write by Human Rights Watch say that now in Cuba, in the new government of Raul Castro, the situation it´s the same that 4 years ago in the Fidel Castro times. It´s important to USA and Europe see situation of the political prisoners in Cuba.
Many people thought that the new Raul Castro change many things in Cuba but with the time we can´t see any change, and it´s sad because the people in Cuba don’t want the actual regimen.
All the comments are important to me, and all of them say that USA and the countries of the “first word” should pressure Cuba to change the laws to the political prisoners. Other comments, which I think are successful, question the usefulness of the economic embargo the U.S. has maintained for the past 40 years over Cuba.
