Cuba's ex-president Raul Castro makes rare public appearance after US indictment

Cuba's Raul Castro made a rare public appearance Thursday at a celebration marking the centenary of his brother Fidel's birth. The 95-year-old former president, who was indicted by the US in May over an incident during his tenure as defence minister, received a standing ovation at the secure event in Havana amid a deepening economic crisis and frequent energy blackouts.
