HAVANA -- Cuban state television forward Monday aired the first video of Fidel Castro since he stepp down as president to revive from surgery, showing the bedridden Cuban leader joking with his brother and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Castro appeared tired and pale, over and above alert in the videotaped brush speaking quietly but clearly enjoying himself as he chatted with Chavez, his conclude friend and political ally. Acting president Raul Castro was also instant for the encounter on his brother's 80th birthday. The videotape showed the friends sharing a snack and looking at an album of photographs showing them together. The televised footage -- released after still pictures of the same fight were published in the Communist Party daily Granma earlier Monday -- appeared aimed at dispelling any lingering doubts about Castro's recuperation from intestinal surgery.
