wood is the major source of fuel in cambodia. and for a long time deforestation has been taking its toll on the environment. a french ngo has set out with a simple and effective way to cut down demand for wood across asia. it says coconut shells are part of the answer -- so here's an example of how a small idea can have great effect. len is out with his whole family in their tuktuk. he makes the rounds of phnom penh's markets. he's collecting coconut shells. coconut flakes are an ingredient in many cambodian dishes. so there are lots of shells left over at the markets. len can earn money with them. a factory on the outskirts of phnom penh is willing to pay for coconut shells. here, they're not waste -- they're a raw material. >> the idea is to provide cambodia with an environmental friendly product, since deforestation is a big issue here in cambodia. so our charcoal is out of complete recycled organic waste so we dont cut any trees to produce charcoal. >> cambodians use lots of wood -- for construction, furniture- making -- and

north vietnam, the north vietnamese can infiltrate more of their regular units into the south or cambodia or laos. when you think about american options next week, think about american options for dealing with this war, keep in mind the chinese presence here and the factor that that brings to the table. now, in 1964, the north decided that they would consolidate their control over the central highlands and they would extend into other parts of lowland areas of vietnam. and they're thinking that now they're getting prepared for what they think is going to be a final offensive against the south. and after the gulf of tonkin incident and the fact that they couldn't negotiated a settlement, the north decided at this point they really had to start committing regular north vietnamese army units to the south because they're fearful the americans are going to come in. they fear they have to match any escalation that's going to happen in the south. they also try to think, well, if we act quickly enough is what they're thinking, maybe we can push the south vietnamese regime over the top before the

cambodia has become a poster child for the land mine epidemic. it is certainly not the only place in the world. i would call myself a land mine survivor as well. in april 2006 i was traveling with the canadian convoy. the vehicle charged into my own vehicle, detonated two roadside bombs set by the taliban. all four soldiers were killed. it had a profound effect on the. i had been working for several years. we all knew victim's. and suddenly i was faced with the psychological impact of seeing four people i had come to know die in front of me from this weapon. as far as recovery, he is doing fine physically, but in the film, we actually see his grandmother it quite upset when he returns back to his hometown because she believes that he stepped on a land mine not because of the aftermath of the war, but he might have not been a good person in his former life. these factors come into play, which are really difficult for victims to deal with, on top of being physically mutilated by these weapons. they have the weight of the social impact on their shou

and this is set up in cambodia. and they do this to run the war in the south. it's basically their command. to run the war in south vietnam. and while they're doing this, they decide the south into various districts so they can organize throughout the country, even down to the village level. now, in 1961, the north intensifies the military as well as the political struggle against the south. and what they're hoping at this point when they do, when they do this is, they think that they can politicize the situation enough and make it violent enough to where they can projoke a general uprising against the south vietnamese regime. one of the strands that often runs -- certainly always runs through the north vietnamese military thought here is they can create a situation of instability and terror in the south that is strong enough and indoctrinated enough people where they'll get provoked uprising in south vietnam. they never get this but they're hoping it's going to be part of it. this is not unusual for other communist movements to have the same type of view and t

those who contact malaria are treated with a drug but a few years ago, scientists in cambodia noticed a worrying change. malaria victims were taking longer to recover. the medicine was not working. that drug run it strain of the disease has now been discovered on the border between thigh land and burma. experts say they can't tell whether it's a new outbreak or if it's it originated in cambodia but the u.n. special envoy from malaria told the bbc there's no reason to panic. >> just because there is resistance emerging doesn't mean the drugs are not completely useless. what researchers feel or understand is that the parasite clearance, meaning how long the parasite stays in your bloodstream takes longer to clear not that the drugs are completely useless, that's not true. so we don't want people to panic. we don't want people to feel as though there's no other option. what we do want the world to understand is that we need to start and scale up some fairly aggressive plans to monitor and to the resistance where it is. >> in 2010, 655,000 people died from malaria. unless something is don

cambodia has become a poster child for the land by the epidemic. it is not the only region of the world contaminated. i would call myself a land mine survivor as well because in afghanistan, april of 2006, i was traveling with the canadian convoy. the vehicle not 15 feet in front of my own vehicle that needed to end at a plant vines. all four of the soldiers were killed. it had an important effect on me. i was faced with the psychological impact yet seen the devastation of people i had come to null and die in front of me. as far as his recovery, he is doing fine physically. we saw the grandmother found quite upset because she believes that he stepped on a land mine and not because the country is contaminated, but because he might not have been a good person in his life. they are very difficult for victims to deal with on top of being physically mutilated. they have the wake of the social taboo. >> there have been 65,000 landmine victims worldwide in the last 15 or 20 years. it is a problem that is not going away. landlines have to look like toys. >
