booming hirees offices sprout up everywhere and the people have opportunities to improve their lives but that wasn't a vietnamese struggle and not for financial reasons. that saying all is fair in love and war has been used to justify many military decisions but when during the vietnam war the united states began deploying a chemical weapon a claim agent orange over this country not many could have predicted that those all suffer from that most will be the soldiers on the battlefields but their children most at home or even a boy at a time. hootie whom is thirty four years old but you'd never guess by looking at or born blind and with many severe physical difficulties her parents feed and bathe her to this day her life was taken away from her before she was even born. my daughter was born blind and we didn't know why until would soakers of the hospital in one thousand eight hundred one and the doctors did some blot says that's when this said she was affected by agent orange it's very difficult i can

care of her because she's completely helpless completely dependent. for a decade american jets dispersed eighty million liters of the then brand new herbicide over the territory of vietnam operation ranch ranch did not win the war but did achieve its goal of destroying millions of hectors of agricultural fields and expose nearly five million people to its deadly poison half a million children in vietnam were born with severe physical and mental disability all because of agent orange. no u.s. government nor the chemical companies that made the herbicide have paid a single cent in compensation to those whose lives were destroyed by their work their only relief has come from the vietnamese government and various international organizations like the red cross who have set up so-called peace villages their affected children get their chance to live a life with as much normality as their conditions allow

a woman who can treat kids and then detain them at the same time we only get fifty cents per child from the government but we need more of course to help the children home they study in a school on site play with friends living in the village and get medical and physical treatment from the doctors but not many of them will ever grow to be fully independent and self-sufficient adults and that is the harshest of all their burdens. even if the united states paid some compensation for what they did no money can give my daughter her life back nothing can pay for this pain. gas rumors are over our tea vietnam. and improvise chinese bogeyman is dawning on the u.s. thanks to a rising wave of sentiment in washington officials warn the portrayal of beijing as an anime could spark a risky trade war with america's biggest creditor as artie's garnished account

reports it's not just china being used to spoke to us. when the economy's bad unemployment heart i blame china many u.s. politicians use that tactic to get elected this year maybe you ought to run for senate. something close to hatred is being promoted against china here to look like when new york city mayor michael bloomberg said enough is enough. i think in america we've got to stop blaming the chinese and blaming everybody else and take a look at ourselves but china is not the only scapegoat u.s. politicians used to score points. when it comes to security and defense issues there is a host of other countries actively promoted as bogeyman in the u.s. flyers like this are being turned out by a major conservative think tank in washington their designs to form a negative public opinion on the landmark arms control deal with russia that's up for ratification in the senate it would be absolutely wrong for anyone to try to

demonize russia at a time when we need russia's cooperation in order to limit the amount of nuclear weapons when it comes to the future of the start treaty the ramifications of washington's fear mongering policy can be destructive as far as i'm concerned forget about reset by not ratified start by not going forward with deputy accession we are just going to bolster that latter group that people don't want to do business with the west sending mixed signals has become normal business in washington d.c. has the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting walter isaacson has recently included the country's supposed partners china and russia on his list the america's enemies as he put it a statement that he later backtracked on speaking of capitol hill is popular trend

in demonizing china michael bloomberg warrant that the consequences may backfire badly if you look at the us you look at who were electing to congress to the senate they can't read i'll bet you a bunch of these people don't have passports we're about to start a trade war with china if we're not careful only because nobody knows where china is nobody knows what china is. fear mongering thrives where there is a lack of information with ignorance making people more susceptible to boogie man theories and some us politicians take advantage of it but a question they don't answer is the fear will be able to remedy the country's economic difficulties or make americans more secure get a check on our team washington d.c. . and the ratification of the latest russia u.s. arms reduction agreement has been stalled by washington the new start treaty signed in april should cut the two country's nuclear arsenals by a surge but it won't come into force until ratified by both sides something moscow

says it's ready to do foreign policy reporter josh rogin explains what's holding washington back. if they've made this decision that they want to postpone the vote on the agreement on next year or if they just want it to go down altogether or not pass at all that's a decision that's going to be made totally absent of the rational substantive arguments for against the treaty how it affects our security this is pure politics it's not really about the merits of the treaty it's about the politics of republicans versus the obama administration you've got the public in leadership who wants to sort of see if they really think this could be a benefit to national security and then you've got this far right group there it is foundation and their friends in some party some members of the tea party caucus who are just going to be against it off together who stands to benefit those who want to put an end to the u.s. russia reset as put forth by the administration the bottom line here is that what they have to benefit is to deliver a huge foreign policy failure to the bomb ministration what we have here is their white house putting all of the credibility of the reset process on this agreement

and it's also one of the only few foreign policy successes that they can really count this year so if this goes down this looks very bad for obama it looks very bad for the senate democrats it looks very bad for those republicans who want to work with senate democrats so there is a new thinking about russia both in the administration and in congress but for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so those who are skeptical of the u.s. russia relationship are ripping up their efforts to oppose this new dynamic and that's what we're seeing here and unfortunately the takeover of the house foreign affairs committee by a noted russia skeptic representative roslyn and points to increased power for this group within congress minority and small as it may be for resisting further u.s. russia cooperation so it's much easier to thwart initiative then to implement it so what we're going to see here is increased attempts by those who are russia skeptics to push back against the administration's efforts to improve relationship with russia and the administration will have to read but its efforts even more to overcome that we just don't know yet how it's going to play out. and i was foreign

policy reporter josh rock in there now so to come here in our team old classics are never forgotten is violence to modern day t.v. parents are turning their kids towards old soviet cartoons. the world is marking the international day against a wall more than two decades after the fall of the berlin barrier palestinians who still live surrounded by a concrete fans in the west bank are demanding it be torn down but as paulus liers been finding out some locals are using the five hundred kilometer long wall for their own benefit. honey a mare lives on a hot piece of real estate but it's not because of his view seven years ago the israeli army both had sworn in front of his house and behind it and to the sides of it so that now he's completely closed in this gate his only contact with the outside world and he's the only one with the key but over all the soldiers try

different ways to get me to move they tried to force and also by offering me money indirectly they offered me an open check and told me how my life would change if i took the money and left the country construction on the wall began eight years ago among the nine hundred forty nine armistice line between israel and the palestinian west bank israel insists it's for security but palestinians complain it's a part of hate and the international court of justice has said it breaches international law since the wall was built though ironically as well as keeping people out it's also been bringing others in businessmen abu his son runs what he calls alternative to is and brings tourists to see israeli settlements checkpoints and border fences but he's highlight the wall of the mill mine mainly the work he was shot i have a lot of people been occurring in the polls you know on the have like some jewish people come with an office of jewish americans but jewish israelis aren't allowed

to sign up to go into the palestinian territories it's shutting this well we i mean i as a fan of pink floyd that i thought that this world belongs to belong to the past so this is this people here because i know deep inside jerusalem nobody some of them there but they have to go through checkpoints. you know what's the box like. israel insists the walls kept suicide bombers out army spokeswoman avatar leibovich says most of its nearly five hundred kilometers is infected feigns with less than four percent. concrete in the entrance to bethlehem you will see a concrete wall because in two thousand and four fifty percent of the suicide bombers that entered israel came from bethlehem so only in those places that has extra security sensitivity that's where the concrete wall was built elsewhere as you can see here we're talking about a regular fence with electronics but there's nothing regular about caging people in

say this israeli couple who are taking the wall on to a goal to gussy is leaving for america which she's arranged to give talks and raise money to help palestinians you know surrounded by a wall and that she can't leave without having certain permits. and you live in poverty but the war means money for some travel agencies winning business from showcasing or perhaps revealing in israeli security measures. if you're planning a trip to the holy land gone are the days of visiting traditional religious sites now if you go online you'll find two is like the ultimate counterterrorism mission a tour with the army of terror tourism a tour that involves a palestinian raid but it's no holiday for honey because while tourists can come and go he's stuck hear him didn't buy an israeli wall police fear r t israel

a huge following throughout eastern europe in the former soviet union and new generations are just as captivated. yes they gave us a very good message. demento many say they prefer soviet cartoons even if they're decades old to western creations and one called hedgehog in the fog the little hero has to find his courage and some friends to help him out of the mist of beer that are mostly it's about good over evil he was lonely and fearful in the fog not able to tell who or what was around him but then he was helped by his friends and was rescued here the cartoons creator says that works like his to live a healthy morals to children as well. we're speaking of humaneness pope john paul the second used to say if you want to bring up your children in a humane way show them a cartoon. of the most famous is called show russia.

is over the reason capitalism in the financial crisis have slashed state funding in half. with state sponsored films one could take a risk the film that didn't go to distribution could be written off the program produced it these days would never take risks he just wants to make money from films. which means that for now the mascot children who stick with the current that parents watched soviet and russian animators have long innovated despite a lack of funding the cartoons they created seen if anything to be growing in popularity with the current funding situation as bad as it is the question is whether you question animation can survive children like these. we are live here twenty four hours a day with many more stories and videos but here's a taste of what you'll find there right now. the mayor of moscow is now tapping the
