Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani is joining President Donald Trump's legal team with an eye to helping the president put an end to the Russia investigation.
Giuliani, a longtime friend of Trump's who logged long hours as a television surrogate during the campaign in 2016, was widely thought to be an inside-track candidate for an important Cabinet position in the administration last year, but didn't get what he wanted and so stayed on the outside.
Cuba's new president Miguel Diaz Canel says that he will not be taking Cuba in a new direction. He promises to defend the socialist revolution.
"The mandate given by the people to this house is to give continuity to the Cuban revolution in a crucial historic moment." said Diaz in his first speech as president.
