Cuba is the central focus of "Latin Pulse" this week, with discussions of new diplomatic proposals and a new documentary about the island. The debate about Cuba covers why the United States lists the country as a state sponsor of terrorism and how the two nations could move beyond their diplomatic deadlock. The documentary preview includes views on the effects of the revolution and how race plays a key role in everyday Cuba. The news segment discusses the recent railway tragedy in Argentina and the program also includes a commentary about China's trade and diplomacy with Latin America.

The program includes in-depth interviews with:

Andres Serbin of CRIES; and
Bill Gentile of American University 

Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell
Associate Producer: Curt Devine
Writer: Zach Cohen.

The photo of Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont visiting with Cuban President Raul Castro earlier this year is from the Cuban government and is in the public domain.
