all the horror and desperation of the vietnam war 47 years on do you remember what happened on that day this photo was taken yes actually i was 9 years old when that picture taken in 1972 obviously i remember everything. and that day. as children which is allowed to play in. the temple. and very near the bomb shelter and i remember. on june 8 so we. after lunch so we get clay around in. family. detail for the children. to run. out of that temple

so i remember i was one of them of the children so i got in the front of the temple. then i saw the plane get to was to me so loud and so close in i just stood right there in in the highway one because i got into the highway one and so i remember as a child i just stood there and then i saw everything i saw the fall of bombs. landing like that then i heard the noise of book book book. that and then suddenly the fire was everywhere around me

and my clothes were burned off by the fire and i saw the fire. was over my left arm and they laid laid that and i used my right hands i wet it up when. i still remember my thought at that moment oh my goodness i got burned so i was i would be ugly and people will save me a different way but at that moment i was so scared and terrify the in i i i didn't see anybody at that moment when i stopped thinking about everything and then i ran out of that fire and then i saw my protheroe and my casting and some of the

soldiers arrived there when we kept running and running in i remember i ran for a while until i fell so tired to run anymore then i stop then i cried out too hot too hot and i remember one of the soldiers tried to help me he gave me some water to drink and he tried to help be you pour water over me then. i lost consciousness i didn't remember anything else that moment. so your body was severely burned and you barely survived and your boat fire road actually speaks about your path to recovery how long did it take you to bring yourself back together in kenya sorry you're fully healed down. wow is

a long journey. absolutely. i stay in the hospital for 14 months in i went through 160 pray sion at that time and the last one in 1804 i went to germany for my last operation in this half and yet a course. day by day i i have to go through with a lot of pain in and trauma in ny me in very low so it's dim not only the scar i have from the napalm and the pain from that one did but my heart was in trouble and. i really really.

endured a lot. during the time. before i became a teenager and do during the time as i was teenager and get in growing up every day i can use the word just play survivor but is a miracle i i went through all of this. the pain for physical and emotional and everything and right now i have to say to you that my life has a miracle. so in this photograph by a.p. photographer nick it is said to be transformative moment that changed the course of the war how much has it changed your life.

on this edition of the program we discuss what drives the russia china relationship critics claim it is a marriage of convenience proponents say otherwise it is the pivotal relationship of the 21st century. around the experimentation field cultural chemicals we know that these chemicals

have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these cars. the nice feel they can get away with that's because the people have less political power. what politicians do. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be

press that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters about how. things should. be so you say that brings us to the end of the series if we could just let josie merino walk away and say we decided to treat up stuff post to a very special farewell party and by goes. on. we walk along an interesting path of the day but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting on sr the body. with a red carpet the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my dancing on ice in moscow my dancing. on ice cream.

always being interviewed and he had to go to events and show up to this official and or that official event do you think. you were used as a propaganda tool did you feel that way or to or maybe later on analyzing your role . in a year that is really true i didn't live that pitcher. at that time because that really the more that pitcher get famous the world is cast my private life and i didn't like it at all but you know everyone have a choice to make and i make my decision that i am seeking freedom because i had no choice then but now i am canadian i have. freedom i have a choice so i can lay fs many years that picture

same way that picture controlled me but now i have the choice i have a desire and. i want to. you know i will every time i look that picture and i since i have a baby my 1st child thomas i hold that i hold my baby and i look at that picture my pitcher i just is a really at that moment i realized that as a mother how can i see my children suffer like that little girl. and i wanted to protect them not only just my baby but the children around the world and saw the moment that picture it was really big

impact it touch my heart and then the same time i have freedom and then i can make my choice to go back to work with that picture and i can see that that picture if i realize that the picture is a powerful gift for me as a mother to do something my best to to protect the children around the world and for me that is a wonderful and i'm so thankful for for for that pitch is really empowered in my life you you you've mentioned during this talk of ours that back then you know you hated everyone who had cost you so much suffering i remember . a read it somewhere a day in 99 a 6 you were approached by

a united states veteran who said he courted database south vietnamese airstrike which you were caught in and apologized to you know he later admitted that he had nothing to do with this attack and his confession was driven by emotion do you believe the united states o.s.u. and the vietnamese apology for what happened. for me for me the scenes i working on my life i learned about forgiveness and the forgiveness not just at the moment on that day. but i continue to learn as you know forgiveness every single day practicing and for me is this i never let anything from outside that affected my heart i think

remain peace and joy because i learned that the hard way that happen you know saw. the war and the people in i couldn't control what they are doing or what they are talking about me or the system tons i cannot control the cecum dunces but i can't control. how far so i think that is more happen and make everybody suffer but for me i do my best i don't thing anybody of me. but i i ope people because the love that is the love i can. chained. to the place. much better place to

live and for me i focus on that yes you are doing fund raising for organizations that seek to protect children affected by wars i heard that n.g.o.s often get to hear from donors that while the sources are limited even strained so want to pick the most urgent causes they say gas makes them compete for funds in a weird way where the more who are state talk about more money they could get. your foundation ever run across an organization that would try to blow some issues out of proportion to get more funding no. not at all my foundation is not big enough to do that kind of fundraising my foundation focus on very we have

a mission we focus on children who are victims of war for example we build a school. we know dad education is a very important for children and we be able we are a partnership with the foundation we build the hospital and we help often is children and properly distance i am partnership with the library for children ugh a nice ation and we want to be you. the library for children in the plays that they drop the bomb and kill the children i want to honor that. and that is one of my dream.
