DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Our attention turns to another part of the world, to Havana, Cuba where hundreds of thousands of Cubans have taken to the streets today. Let's bring in our Havana bureau chief Lucia Newman. Lucia, the last time we saw Cubans marching, it was because of Elian Gonzalez. Well, he's home now. What is this march about?</s>LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN HAVANA BUREAU CHIEF: Well, Daryn, they haven't stopped marching. Indeed, hundreds of thousands of Cubans have lined Havana's Molican (ph) ocean-front drive in what is being billed as perhaps the biggest government organized march in Cuban history. President Fidel Castro led the way, and he, in fact, called for a million people to take part in this morning's march. It's still too early to assess whether that many really turned out, but this capital certainly was paralyzed as buses and trucks even from the nearby provinces were used to bring out the crowd, to bring them here to march in front of the American diplomatic mission. The slogans throughout the march this morning is, end to the U.S. economic embargo. Now, today is the anniversary of the start of the revolution that brought President Fidel Castro and his rebels to power 41 years ago, July 26th. But, really, the scene today wasn't so much a celebration of this day, but rather a campaign to call for the end of the embargo. The Cuban government has always denounced and condemned the economic embargo, but the sanctions seem now, Daryn, seems to be replacing Elian Gonzalez as a national priority -- Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Lucia Newman in Havana, thank you very much for that report.
