America and Cuba look set to re-establish diplomatic relations - in a historic move that ends a stand-off of more than half a century.
President Obama and the Cuban President Raul Castro are due to make separate statements on the matter this evening.
Earlier, the American aid worker Alan Gross (pron: like Floss) was released from jail in Cuba in a reported prisoner exchange.
He was sentenced to 15 years in 2009 for trying to establish secret internet service for Cuban Jews.
A US official says he was released on humanitarian grounds but it's understood America released three Cuban intelligence agents in return.
