"This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach"
Barack Obama
US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq

bullet Fidel Castro to deliver first public speech since 2006 corner

Cuban leader Fidel Castro will deliver Friday his first public speech since 2006, during a meeting with students of the Havana University.

The speech would focus on 'another war in the Middle East with unforeseeable consequences for the world', Cuba's Granma newspaper said.

It would be broadcast live by the country's leading radio and TV channels.

The Cuban leader, who has rarely been seen in public since ceding power to his younger brother in 2008, has made a series of public appearances this summer.
