About this listen

If someone talks about Cuba does it make you think of cigars and classic cars? Or maybe you think of limited freedom of speech and Che Guevara?

We’re talking about Cuba because its minister for Labour, Elena Feitó Cabrera, was forced to resign after she said there was no such thing as ‘beggars’ on the island. What’s the situation with homelessness?

We’re running through some of the top claims we’ve seen about Cuba online with Will Grant, our Cuba Correspondent, and break down how much truth there is behind them.
