people with disabilities are often among the poorest and most socially excluded in cambodia. only 56 percent of adults with disabilities can read and write compared to 80 percent of the total population horns. lori explains how advocates are trying to change that each day he leaves for work is a bit of a gamble from noon boone time. he never knows how much hill earned or whether he'll be arrested by police for performing on the streets of pin on pen where young ganga . anyhow, i asked to sing at a few different restaurants, but they didn't want me because i'm blind. i felt very bad about myself. i just want to see them so that i can earn a living. he left at school before he was 10. he says his disability and lack of education have made it difficult for him to find work. his story is not unusual in cambodia, not crud used to work in a shoe factory, but she was laid off by killing again. that up when the new owner came, they decided to reduce the number of workers. they kept only those who are able to operate the machines. they fired people with disabilities because they think

his story is not unusual in cambodia, not crud used to work in a shoe factory, but she was laid off by mike kin again bad up. when the new owner came, they decided to reduce the number of workers. they kept only those who are able to operate the machines. they fired people with disabilities because they think were physically not competent for the job. she was unemployed for 4 years before a non governmental organization helped her find work. essential personnel, cambodia is one of several organizations that helps people with disabilities, whether it's equipping them with skills or matching them with employers. what's been more difficult is changing people's mindset. the rooms on the la klune and jeremy around them. people with disabilities sometimes state their employers, don't care about them. they think their employers look at them like the abnormal workplaces usually aren't accessible for people with disabilities. and some employers think people with disabilities are less capable in 2010. the cambodian government passed a lot that said at least 2 percent of the public sector should

cambodia is currently chairing the association of southeast asian nations. the group failed to reach consensus on the move but agreed to invite only a nonpolitical representative. cambodia's foreign mintry cited a lack of progress on the five-point peace plan agreed to by asean and myanmar's military leader. it calls for immediate dialogue between all parties. a crackdown on pro-democracy protests has created widespread unrest. cambodia has been working to set up a meeting in february between all asean members. it seems to have suspended those measures. >>> officials at the world health organization say europe could soon see some much-needed calm. the region is still battling a record coronavirus surge but experts see hope. the w.h.o.'s regional director pointed to three key elements. the dominant omicron variant is less severe, high vaccination rates and widespread iections e boosting immunity and spring weather should slow transmission. >> this context leaves us with a possibility of a long period of tranquillity and a much higher levelf population defense

so nicaragua el salvador are good cases of this and the one you mentioned obviously in cambodia. yeah, i mean it would be interesting to see. you know whether you could catch variation in support or sanctuary because we know from the civil war literature that having external support sanctuary is a big predictor of rebel success a rebel viability. and so taking that away obviously is going to make things their lives much more difficult. and i'll just add to any question really quickly that i think alex is accurate. there are some cases where there is some signaling going on, especially in the caribbean and central american cases pre-world war two that he's talking about they're the roosevelt corollary essentially gets created as a way to present german and british influence in those countries where we're intervening and overthrowing regimes and dominican republic haiti mexico largely because we're afraid they're too close to the germans and british, but just to turn andy's question around a little bit as often cases with the united states that we overthrow governments, and we don'

we expect tourism to cambodia will pick up and recover to pre-covid-19 levels pretty soon.out the crackdown on junket operators? we know there have been crackdowns in some cities. is that a concern for your business, or what is the impact? >> definitely, i have seen a drop off in the ip segment. as i said earlier, this may not be such a negative thing because it will encourage direct players to the property. we have to be careful about credit. we have to be careful at how we extend credit. it should be on a cash basis. we'll see how that turns out the next few months. haidi: we saw some workers of nagacorp striking last year, and authorities tried to stop that because of what was going on with the pandemic. are there measures in place to try to prevent this type of strike or discontent from happening? >> we put out a few announcements on the strike. it's why we initiated the mutual separation, targeting 100,000 shares. they launched a strike. it was deemed as legal by the cambodian courts. it is very much out of our hands. throughout the process, the separation plan as well

you can look at mao in china, pol pot in cambodia.the tiger of tyranny keep progressing to more progression. if they step off, the tiger will eat them as well. the left isn't going to stop. you have to make a choice. we have to make a choice. are we going to stop them? right now, patriots around this country are rising up saying we will stand for our country and we will take it back. this country will not be taken back by rino's. it will be taken back by america first patriots who are willing to stand with courage to make s ure that we can pass onto our kids more than we inherited. there is a stark choice facing our country. a choice between surrender to leftist cruelty and tyranny or the revival of our republic with freedom and faith and courage. i am here to stand for the revival. i appreciate your courage. thank you very much. >>

the casualties in vietnam, laos and cambodia are almost incalculable, but they are in the millions. in afghanistan, what began as a response to the horrific attack against us on 9/11/2001, eventually became a 20-year war costing us $2 trillion and over 3500 americans who were killed, not to mention tens of thousands of afghan civilians. george w. bush claimed in 2003 that the united states had, quote, put the taliban out of business forever, end of quote. well, not quite the case. the taliban is in power today. the war in iraq, which was sold to the american people by stroking fear of a mushroom cloud from iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, led to the deaths of some 4500 u.s. troops and the wounding, physical and emotional, of tens of thousands of others. it led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of iraqis, the displacement of over five million people, and regional destabilization whose consequences the world continues to grapple with today. in other words, despite all of the rosy scenarios we heard for those foreign policy and military interventions, it turned out

thousands of bond creators in that area which some was in north korea a south vietnam, but a lot in cambodia. but you how i i am actually ignorant of the size of this bomb craters. i mean, how would how would you generalize the size of a average bomb crater? i guess i mean, i know there are different sized bombs and so forth, but most of the bombs were 500 pounds when they made they made a good size crater, which probably the hole itself was somewhere about 20 yards 30 yards across that's a big hole and if you and it threw a lot of dirt up in the air and that it quite quickly filled up full of water. so it was a good it was a good place to hide. and they were all over the place. yeah. um when going back to the the writing of this book did you have to do research to to remember the history? not not your experiences? i can understand how they might be more, you know in sort of engraved in in your head. but but the your command of the history at the time is is quite good. well, i've read a number of books about the history i've read night recommend another book the best nonfiction book of the w

in nixon's expansion of the wars that cambodia is often pointed out opening an entirely new fear forer son a scale that the world really seen and elsewhere meanwhile nixon it through american support behind all doubling down on american relationships with authoritarians and places as diverse as brazil and chile iran, indonesia and africa and on and on and one can go in many commentators thene tolerance for brutality and the turn away from democracy, provides major, major reason to despise nixon jimmy carter, give his view that one of his crafts requesting formulations his famous 1977, speech at notre dame university, he said inee part, too many yeas he's been willing to adopt the flawed and erroneousav principls and tactics of our adversaries and sometimes abandoning our values for theirs rita vietnam heba said was just an example of the intellectual and the moral poverty of the u.s. policy choices and blasted nixon's decision making more generally the failing the tendency to indulge in what carter called ordinate year of communism with in the embrace and any dictator who joined us i

there are still people who have been exposed in thailand, cambodia, guam. exposure is synonymous with service. people in hawaii right now are drinking gasoline. and were not even talking about that. this is domestic exposure, as well. military service is what we are looking towards as synonymous with exposure. >> outside of the individual servicemember having monitors and measuring everything they are breathing and doing over there, there is no way to truly track the exposure dose and experience -- exposure dose someone has. that is a problem earlier generations faced. they do not have the measurements to keep track so therefore the v.a. doesn't think they were exposed and it takes so long for them to finally get around to saying they might have , like seven years later after desert storm when the dod sent out letters about chemical exposure and by that time most people were already sick. then they are trying to get claims approved and the v.a. is looking at them like there was nothing there. >> let me just say this. i'm trying to work with everyone on this

>> there are still folks been exposed in thailand, cambodia, guam. trying to piecemeal it out isn't working. we have a lot of reports of people on bases. we're not talking about that. people in hawaii are drinking gasoline. that's terrible. we're not talking about that. it's domestic exposures as well. military service is really what we're really starting to look towards as synonymous of exposure. >> outside of the individual service members having monitors, everything they breathe, everything they are doing over there, there's no way to truly track the exposure dose an individual had. that's a problem that earlier generations face. they didn't have any of those measurements to keep track of the exposure. therefore, the v.a. doesn't think that those troops were exposed. it takes so long for them to finally get around to saying, well you may have. like seven years later for our desert storm veterans when the dod sent out letters about chemical exposure. by that time, most of those people who were sick were already out of service. then they are trying

people were exposed and thailand, cambodia, guam, we don't have, it's all trying to piece it out is not working, and again exposure, we've got a lot of reports of people on bases and we're not even talking about that. people in hawaii or are drinking gas. that's terrible. we're not even talking about that in the pact act, so there's domestic exposures as well, so military service is really what we are starting to look towards as synonymous with exposure. >> outside of the individual service member having monitors, where in measuring everything they breathe, everything that they are doing over there, there is no way to truly track the exposure that an individual has. that is a problem that earlier generations faced. they didn't have any of those measurements to keep track of the exposure, so therefore the va does not think that those troops were exposed in a take so long for them to finally get around to saying while he may have, but like seven years later for our desert storm veterans when the d.o.d. sent the letters about chemical exposure, and by that time most of those people who wer

we talk about the one to two million people who were murdered in cambodia. things that every american school child should know because, like i said, right now we have people kind of in this building, kind of in academia in america, who i don't think really have a problem with marxism. they think it's kind of a cool thing to flirt with. so i do hope that our news stations and our educational institutions at least now do a little to educate the american public on the millions of people who died in ukraine. two other issues to deal with today. i will follow up a little bit on what my colleagues said before. because that is arguably the one area in which -- there are many areas -- but in which the biden administration is permanently damaging america. we recently got the numbers of people who came in this country in december. took a while to get them. the total, including what they call got-aways, is about 90,000 people who didn't go through appropriate channel, people who we would sometimes refer to as illegal immigrants. 90,000 in december. the december before,

we must push back on cambodia which shares the association of southeast asia nations and indicates they may welcome, actually welcome the illegitimate regime to international summits. the u.s. and our partners should also provide more direct help to the representative institutions that are trying to protect the people of that country. this should include direct cross-border humanitarian assistance that bypasses the tatmdaw institution support. the stakes go beyond burma. the tatmadaw aren't the only ones that go beyond chaos. they loathe the idea of a functioning democracy in its own backyard. they have been working for years to keep burma weak and subservient to beijing, and russia found a happy customer in the tatmadaw with surplus arms. one year on the people of burma are paying close attention from prison, from exile, from the estates -- streets of its cities they are watching to see which friends of their democracy have their backs, watching which champions of human rights remembering the political prisons the junta jailed and remembering the innocent men, women and children it has
