German, Cuban ministers discuss future of EU sanctions
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The foreign ministers of Germany and Cuba met here Friday and discussed conditions for a possible end to EU sanctions against the communist state.The talks between Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany and Cuba's Felipe Perez Roque on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly was the first of bilateral meeting of its kind since Cuba's ailing, longtime leader Fidel Castro handed power to his brother Raul in February.Steinmeier said they had discussed the political situation in the island state "which for the first time in 50 years is showing gradual movement".He said the European Union had welcomed Havana's decision in February to sign an international pact on civil rights committing it to respect rights, including freedom of expression, association and movement."I made clear today that we noticed this gesture but expect that the ratification process is pursued in Cuba," he said.Steinmeier highlighted further reforms including greater access to mobile phone service and the Internet and the release of dozens of political prisoners. But he said the 27-member EU expected more."The European Union has reacted and said that if this course continues, we would lift the sanctions that have been suspended, however with the agreed condition that a review of the human rights situation in Cuba takes place again next year," he said."I don't want to sugarcoat anything. I said again during the meeting today that we firmly demand that Cuba continues to pursue its policy of opening up and ensures the rule of law in its own country."Steinmeier said he had also expressed his sympathies to Roque over losses in hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which killed seven people, destroyed 320,000 homes and caused extensive damage to crops and infrastructure.He offered 350,000 euros (511,000 dollars) for emergency shelters and other humanitarian aid.

Bushs Self-Criticism
The leader of the Cuban Revolution analyzes Bush’s speech on the recent financial crisis. In this, Fidel Castro denounces the false solutions proposed for the indebted economy of the United States and alerts the nations of Latin America that trade with the Empire will intensify unequal exchange and the continued victimization of other peoples.

Cuba on alert for another hurricane
www.chinaview.cn (Xinhua)-- Cuban authorities Friday issued an alert that Tropical Storm Kyle was turning into hurricane and would hit the island country. Kyle, some 815 km south-southwest of the Bermuda Island in the Atlantic Ocean, is picking up its strength and heading to the West Indies with a speed of 19 km per hour, Meteorology Institute (Insment) said. Kyle is the No. 11 tropical storm of the current Atlantic cyclonic season, which began on June 1 and will last till the end of November. On Aug. 30, Hurricane Gustav hit the west of Cuba. One week later, Hurricane Ike hit the eastern and western parts of the island, killing seven people. The two devastating hurricanes have left thousands of people homeless and resulted in a property loss of 5 billion U.S. dollars, said the Cuban authorities.

28 de septiembre
-Por: Armando Hart Dávalos
Hace 48 años, hablando en la terraza norte del antiguo Palacio Presidencial, hoy Museo de la Revolución, Fidel llamó al pueblo a organizarse en todo el país para enfrentar las acciones de la contrarrevolución interna y externa. Nacieron entonces los Comités de Defensa de la Revolución, esa formidable organización de masas que ha asumido numerosas tareas en todos estos años, entre ellas la de mantener la vigilancia revolucionaria del pueblo. Hoy, con toda esa formidable experiencia acumulada y en medio de las complejidades de la actual situación nacional e internacional es válido preguntarse: ¿cuáles debieran ser sus tareas priorizadas para hoy?
