important senator mccain is a strong supporter of education ties and although not directly gets a dissident with a spin off from the establishment of a fulbright going to various city today and getting on in the course because of his role with the armed services committee he always stood for officer exchanges port visits dependence relationships in general but finally he stood for tolerance democracy human and religious freedom and he spoke out on the spot to have a balanced approach to vietnam that wasn't strained by the baggage of rank or because of the vietnam war but a positive one are working with vietnam and particularly as we move into the current period supporting got mounds claims in the south china sea and opposing the pressures in china one of the ways that vietnam recognized john mccain's efforts and that process. well he visited on numerous times and there's a an early wanderer around two thousand he's in vietnam and he learns about how

long bay a very scenic terrorists are shore and was told that men had a villa and he equipped though he'd like to spend the night at one and on a subsequent visit they get that piece of grain that he would go to visit also his father was a four star there ya go and then maybe they named the morcombe destroyer after him the u.s.s. john s. mccain and he expressed the belief that you'd like to be there when that ship papers this is and indeed he did so he wasn't able to go to where and since two thousand and three being on states will making annual port visits were to be there with his namesake and finally in february of this year they got the news and passed the mike on full travel to arizona to big with senator mccain and reminisce about the war and the role that he played in normal aussie relations and i think to get them it was like the rest of the united states knew that he was terminally ill at that time so they created that on are but all the major landmarks that i will say

in america when the president or senior officials act that john mccain was not far behind he was always invited to a town life partisan. given the amount of support that john mccain has given to vietnam over the years is there any concern in vietnam that now that that support has been removed that relations with the u.s. are i should say with the trumpet ministration might differ in the some way. absolutely not it's been democratic administrations under president carter and bill clinton and obama or that the relationship has really taken off and permed and deepen the comprehensive partnership surprisingly the chump of ministration has indorse reinforce that president of the trump received the promise of the white house the earth domination leader to do so in two thousand and seventeen he not only attended the apec leaders' summit in central them on the paid an official visit of the secretaries of defense and state have visited vietnam.

troubled ministration has backed the comprehensive partnership with non said it will continue given the massive trade deficit. yet this year it's patient about tariffs long castration shrimp and steel they are on the go agreeing to negotiate renegotiate that i should say and then since president obama has lifted the sale of arms to vietnam it's been reported that that mom who did it in recent years one hundred million a small amount were arms with parkinson's and purchasing american equip that's expected to continue and jump when he was in one like on his official visit gripped by american missiles that are the best in the world that's probably you know too expensive but in other words across the board the truck is searched and has reinforced and advanced the bar and out through the lation ship and that's quite a surprise that observers like myself fair we really appreciate your time so thank

draw it from. in the first of two films on these conflicting experiences people in power is being to the gym and switching their generosity and open office making markets to question where. santa. now and i have strong. i like this china. now also not hostile has not sought to have that not cool montana says she's. under the skin of what is then the one hand

high as a hobby and also as the most pivotal time in that in she. saud a mother of four is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe. generally trying. anyway as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and sometimes dangerous thank god it said doing. something on the ashes d. on your side and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until kid. john anymore how did then moved and then did so and you know you know of it. now so i don't have

family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west in germany and would often i'm. one have bit all my in the head of a house so i. missed it not been here at least understands this in the school it's not at this point. since twenty foot team germany has taken in more than one and a half million refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new town by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. is the school does a slender. distance to no desire to get around this is class. of a such a race to his start i lined us to see our factories it was going to

be at least kind of the water they think of you don't know and this puts you on this with the. debt with around seventy thousand inhabitants was asked to accept seven hundred migrants equivalent to about one percent of its population. the initial public response was cautious start to give you some good and forgive but that's hard to. my family to feel of mention of naming on. british soccer and the bush team think it ends every two weeks i think there's another. tell of the. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense and i. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new

residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events goodbyes by the authorities. cafe wellcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and ask questions over was their concerns and we had people asking things like why do they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart that's supposed to be poor say it's an idea if they're actually supposed to be poor otherwise they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that might really have said we want to make this work and we really want to be

a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that so hard to have children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of a drama group called project theater drawn mainly from refugees. to professional performers marianne from france and her german friend roots who run the project so i was on. the group has been brought together in this who paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. i.

to put this if to. exist to go to. the group is going to be performing a piece inspired by their own stories. just. can't . see. them wonder. because they're. going to. do. things. on their own.

that's. not. so. to do. and they don't know that i'd like to play but there i see myself just something. you can see me a miswiring and i'm talking in it what are we having and you are joking but after all this drama when i'm alone sometimes i. so when i play with people it just makes me forget. thirty three year old emmanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for two and a half years. but his future is uncertain.

unable to return home because his life is still at risk he plied for asylum eighteen months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he will be allowed to stay in germany. in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local attractions. maybe i'm the lucky to see used. chairman of. the house when a firm church for supporting everyone is there for. even i could feel like a lot. result in working with anything. sort of. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he called bed to display photos of them in

his apartment. here. it's so hard to look at them and been six years without seeing them. even to talk with a wonderful sometimes facial i mean is there so much i want to talk to them about when i was there and i was like why did i call so like i because i don't want to hear what is happening and of them we never talk even when you call us we are just crying. she's crying my mother saying i'm crying i'm not. i knew. marianne the director of the drama group has come to visit. this year should he says here yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany each of us and how he's been managing since he got to detmold his story along with those of the

other refugee actors will be woven into the script i think ted has you know been sitting at home to must i think it could i just saw in the daytime when yaz did this and just sounded that decision to then you put his what when does it mean for you safety. for. safety it's like a place where always use it and fear filled and that is a lot of beautiful people who love you around you if there is work of all who love you i don't feel we don't feel safe. we are people we are you know we are all the same that's why we come to you at all because we feel that in europe that is all right it's not like people are different of people and to have different colored different country or diskless and this was the whole world and we feel that here is that is you were right so we feel like if you ever want to be safe change. emanuel

isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theater so i was also keen to show how a positive experience of a rival in germany and to gratitude at the welcome she's received. even the thoughts of home i'm never far away by a cat on a bus what i had was a the us. she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children a fortunate they come from one of the five countries given priority status by the german states iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help was provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to more permanent accommodation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating. up almost the same detail home i want to

see and deal with going on to some of the lao chakotay i. got on earlier.
