moving into the french, colonies of vietnam and cambodia made it even more strong for me. i think that there is -- yes, there isis a tenendency to turn their r back on the e attitudes. >> the americans were not too eager to address the defeat in vietnam a few years later. jon: no, the americans are very bitter in belief - -- defeat and magnanimous in victory, as we saw in the second civil war. >> you saw in ththe most somber pages, some eventsts you have bn witnessing regarding the tragic events of the book, people from vietnam leaving after 75, going into the high seas, the china sea -- i wanted to ask you a asa reporter, how do you combine this with your memories, your heart, your spirit, because what you are describing is extremely violent. john swain, do you live with ghosts? jon: sometimes. less so now because i'm older, but absolutely. when i am confronted, for example, by photographs of southeast asian people, people from cambodia, vietnam, laos, in difficult circumstances, i am really, really touched because i know -- i can see in their faces what i saw in their fa

for companies to leave china now they are not heading back to japan they are planning on going to cambodia vietnam places like that other places and south east asia. remarkable and so why are they doing that. because there's a period of. japan as a close ally of the united states the united states is escalating their war 1 against china and there are 2 cities trap it could be game over on that on this whole the paradigm that we've known since 1981 of the u.s. dollar standard china is crucial to buying art of our dollars accepting our lot of our dollars holding our dollars and then take me tains the supremacy of the u.s. dollar but if this is over then this is over and it's going to be a new start and i think that probably explains some of the actions out of the fat and out of the u.s. treasury like stephen h. and was so benevolent such a good nice guy right here saying anybody who i got one of these p.p.p. loans 415-0000 or under basically just keep whatever who cut here cares what i got out of it you just take it i mean this sort of trashing of the dollar is an understanding by the elites

restraint actions now here are just a few examples of the restrictions for example you can go to cambodia but you have to dish out a $3000.00 coded $1000.00 deposit kind of on realistic since a lot of young americans tend to travel to asian countries on a budget then there is a united arab emirates has only opened up a dubai to americans all other parts of the emirates are still closed so if your flight is the abu dhabi well expect to be. back now countries that are requiring it 14 day mandatory quarantine either ecuador and the u.k. so also quite unrealistic unrealistic for americans they usually only have 2 weeks of vacation per year so they can spend the 1st 2 weeks in quarantine then there is jamaica which requires that travelers coming from states like new york florida arizona and texas have 2 negative test results within 10 days and then we have. that's only welcome in americans coming on a private jet now on the other hand citizens coming from these countries there are a lot to go to right now so countries like algeria. australia canada that only has 2 percent of the total cases th

out only employees are using this as an opportunity union bust and the government in places like cambodia are in 2 and a solution of this would be a social safety net for these these employees who depend on you know that very very small amount of money yeah we do they need a social safety net they want to be treated better but also luckily soon america will have gutted the unions so effectively that all those manufacturers can come back to america because workers will again be working for pennies an hour yeah a penny is going to make a comeback i think thanks so much anderson thank you. and here are your headlines from the future 2 weeks from now you'll read the new york times editorial board a holds annual discussion on whether to take down an article titled saddam hussein has weapons of mass destruction and in august you'll learn. anonymous source that cia longs for a credit for coming up with such good propaganda and finally this coming tuesday. as pipeline projects halted big oil rep who conveys how sorry they are after every spill fears for job security rough times rough times in tha

and on saturday, it was decided he would retire to a wildlife sanctuary in cambodia. to be 40 to 45. he is 36 years old, so he needs to be retired. if he gets a better place where he can live the rest of his life free and happily, in my opinion, that is the best decision for kaavan. one of kaavan's champions is the pop idol cher, who spent years calling for his freedom. after the court's decision to order his release in may, she tweeted, "this is one of the greatest moments of my life." the singer had taken kaavan's case in 2016 after she saw pictures of the elephant miserably in chains in a small enclosure. so far, kaavan's life has been one of turmoil, but the 25,000—acre sanctuary will at least mean a comfortable retirement for him. and we wish him well. buckingham palace has released the first official photographs of the wedding of princess beatrice and italian count edoardo mapelli mozzi. the private ceremony, attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh, took place in secret at windsor‘s royal chapel on friday. keith doyle has more. like thousands of couples,

for companies to leave china now they are not heading back to japan they are planning on going to cambodia vietnam places like that other places in south east asia right wow a remarkable and so why are they doing that. because there's a period of. japan as a close ally of the united states the united states is escalating their war 1 against china and there are 3 cities trapped it could be game over on that on this whole.

way the last time we broke the rule was when we continued to recognize paul paul as the leader of cambodia even though 'd he'd long been. oh boy. i wouldn't want to be associated with paul pot but george in venezuela as attorney calls that appeal he would agree with you calls that appeal an important step forward for the case saying quote it's an incredibly rare move for a trial judge to give leave to appeal against their own judgment and we are pleased to have been granted a limited appeal so what's your take on how far this can go and you know any possible political pressure that might come of it. well very well could see the original decision overturned for the reason not just mentioned about britain's rules on recognition but also because of course the government of venezuela is recognized by the great majority of countries in the world it does hold the seat the united nations and british diplomats in new york are dealing every day on every day matters with the diplomats of the moderate government. in the united nations so it's cover us and cover vast decisions not so legal i use the t
