field marshal viscount slim led the campaign in burma.army should no longer be forgotten. it was a very tough campaign. it was fought over great distances, with insufficient resources, in an environment that was riddled with disease. but they all made the most of it. and they united, and they worked as a very thorough team, and they took great pride in overcoming the odds. as if war weren't enough, those on the front line had to contend with other, more personal matters. interestingly, there's a telegram here which he received a few days after his father died, which was sent, and i guess that was a kind of brutal way of receiving that news. and the detail of it, he didn't receive some three or four months later. and no time to grieve. no. too... too much involved. yeah. what does it make you feel, looking at this and thinking about him? sort of proud. definitely. everyone in the family is proud of patrick, and we all feel we've got to know him better now as a result of making this film. and out of the horrors of the war he endured came th

rowing must return to burma they have to return to burma burmese government must accept them. and they are the citizens of burma in ethnic or burma so moving these people to buzz and trial and this is not a solution and butler is going has a duty to put these people in bangladesh in the lead in their land that is a very important point really need to reach to bonaire is government sending these people to do to present a is not a solution is you mention and we were mentioning as well there are reports of the i guess wholly unsurprising mental health issues that a lot of these refugees are suffering from because of what they went through presumably quite a few of them may not necessarily want to go back to me and more less they feel that they're safe there so again my question to you is what do you think that the bangladeshi government should do to alleviate the pressure and some of the camps and why specifically do you think that the island itself may not be fit for this purpose. i mean these people 1st of all come from they have been attacked and expelled from burma so their l

the payments to burma come from the first part. the omnibus, which is the overall spending budget for the u.s. government. we give burma money every year in the form of foreign aid. it's not part of the coronavirus relief plan. it's just the policy of the united states government. remember, congress approves budgets. presidents set them. congress can make changes, but largely the budget sent to the hill is the budget congress passes. and it contains all kinds of things. >>> $7 million for reef fish management. $25 million to combat asian carp. $2.5 million to count the number of amber jack fish in the gulf of mexico. >> if you look at the line items the budget created by the white house does spend a lot of time talking about fish, which are an important natural resource the federal government manages. again, congress combined its yearly spending bill with its coronavirus relief bill to create a much bigger bill. now you argue -- you can argue they shouldn't have done that, but this is what allows the president to wonder out loud wh

we give burma money every year in the form of foreign aid. it's not part of the coronavirus relief plan. it's just the policy of the united states government. now, remember, congress has approved budgets, presidents set them. congress can make changes but largely the budget the executive branch sends to the hill is the budget congress will pass. and it contains all kinds of things. >> $7 million for reef fish management. $25 million to combat asian carp. $2.5 million to count the number of amber jack fish in the gulf of mexico. >> he's absolutely right. if you look at the line items, the budget does spend a lot of money talking about fish, which is an important natural resource to the federal government that they manage. again, congress combined its yearly spending bill with its coronavirus relief bill which you can argue it shouldn't have. it should have kept those separate. that's what allows the president to wonder out loud why americans are getting $600 and burma is getting money at the same time. the president's delay in signing the bill
