Adams meets Castro

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has been officially welcomed to Cuba by President Fidel Castro at an education rally in the capital Havana.

The West Belfast MP shook hands with the revolutionary leader at a secondary school where President Castro was addressing the subject of education.

Around 2,000 people waved flags as the two leaders talked for one minute.

There were some fears that Sinn Fein supporters in America would not appreciate the visit to Cuba.

However, Gerry Adams says that he thinks that relations with the US will not be damaged.
