united states after experiencing the war. these refugees arrived in several waves. the first occurred during the united states' military involvement in the vietnam war which began in 1965, lasted a decade. by 1971, the war had already caused considerable violence and economic political and cultural damage. it had displaced by 1971 approximately 6 million refugees in south vietnam and 700,000 refugees in laos. later in the fall of saigon in the spring of 1975, the withdrawal of american military forces caused another outpouring of refugees. in response to this crisis, president gerald ford gave the green light to admit 200,000 vietnamese refugees. some of them were evacuated through the help of american military forces. others fled on their own and were taken into protective custody by the united states. these vietnamese refugees in 1975 were placed in several military-run refugee camps on military bases here in the united states. and they stayed there until sponsors could assist their resettlement to elsewhere. now, as 1976 began, americans thought they were done with the refugee crisis. they had handled those couple hundred thousand refugees who went to those military-run refugee camps. but the crisis was only beginning to heat up at this point. violence and political conflict in southeast asia continued to escalate and spur new migrations. for example, in cambodia, the vietnamese invasion brought the down it's fall of the regime. they had killed 1.7 million people. with pollpot no longer in power, half a million cambodian people who managed to survive his regime sought refugee in nearby thailand. an additional 122,000 cambodian refugees joined them in thailand between 1980 and 1986. in vietnam, there was another outpouring of refugees known famously as the boat people. thes

united states is rethinking its military posture and that the region is no longer the united states priority and i think interestingly a more subtly internal to the u.s. government this is a message from the white house to the pentagon to central command to those who do middle east policy that the united states government is giving a push back signal inside the government to those who do the military to those who do middle east policy that again this is no longer a priority all right under us for many this could be an indication that biden is delivering going to election campaign promise he made which is about the need to rethink the way the administration should be dealing with saudi arabia. well yes i mean it there is it's a very much a tight group walk there by the by elements in is doing here because on the one hand there was a promise that they would you know kind of rethink it recalibrate the relationship with the crown prince where i've been so man and trying to put some distance between the administration and the crown prince and obviously making it clear break from what happened previously between trump and n.b.s. especially with the report coming out but at the same time obviously the bottom instruction is that rightly said you know the united saudi arabia remains a very imp

if you look at the military expenditure at the expense that the united states will take it's still 4 times higher than what china can offer and here you see of course the united states have identified china as a competitor but also as a threat and lots of challenges europe because europe has a very different relationship to china also a lot because of the dependency they cannot make carry us and i think the picture is not black and white and also the view of the vitamin ministration on china and europe the european relation to china is more gray so even though they've demonstrated that they have to be tough in the area as tough with the e.u. well they deal with china they are science and you can identify areas where they can cooperate so again it's not black and white but it's a great one and he has a very clear eye on as it's very clear thank you so much dr dr the colbert from the the international university of applied sciences. germany's ice court has ruled the government's climate change law is inadequate judges of ministers must set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2030 by the mental activists argue that the current law doesn't go far enough j

united states do? so far the united states has given the ukraine government and ukraine military defensive type of equipment. we've been very careful not to give them any offensive because we don't want to rile russia anymore. so you're going to see the question being asked then of how much further can we go? >> right. helene cooper, pentagon correspondent for "the new york times," really always appreciate your expertise and perspective here, helene. thank you. >> thank you. >>> i want to take a moment to remember a longtime force in american politics and, of course, the democratic party. he's a man known both for his decency and for reinventing the role of the presidency. walter mondale died last night at his home in minneapolis. known to many as fritz, mondale was a senator from minnesota before becoming jimmy carter's running mate in 1976. mondale was the first vice president to have a west wing office and weekly scheduled lunches with the president. then vice president joe biden credited mondale as the role model for how he did the job working for barack obama. mondale talked about transforming the presidency on the "meet the press" 30th anniversary special in 1977. >> i think the role that the president has permitted me to play is unprecedented in american history. i'm privy to all of the classified and secret information. i serve on the national security council and all of its subcommittees. i serve on all of the crucial policy committees, and i have virtually unlimited access to the president. i think that is unprecedented. i think the president has been very kind and gracious to me. i find it a great challenge. and something that i'm most grateful for. >> the carter/mondale ticket lost in 1980 and mondale became the presidential nominee against then president ronald reagan in 1984. he selected new york congresswoman geraldine ferraro as his running mate, first woman to be touted for that role. they lost in a landed slide carrying only his native minnesota and washington, d.c. mondale would later serve as clinton's ambassador to japan and, of course, a last-minute candidate for a minnesota senate seat in 2002 following the death of paul wellstone. and a final note to his former staffer, mondale wrote this on monday, just hours before he died. before i go, i wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. never has a public servant ever had a better group of people working at his side. and he was on a fishing pier with his dog. vice president mondale was 93. what happens when we welcome change?

>> good. give us the best observation you can give us inside that room. what is the divide -- how big is the divide between the two sides in your view, and how much of it seems -- how much of it is too big? is the divide more on scope of the package or how to pay for it? >> you know, that's a great question, chuck. i think that a couple observations if i might. there was a great spirit of bipartisanship in that meeting yesterday. republicans, democrats, independents, and i thought that was very important for the tone. you talk about what's the difference, is it going to be the matter of numbers in terms of the scope of the bill, $800 billion as you mentioned from senator cornyn and then all the way to $2.1 trillion from president biden. i think it's going to be at the higher end. i think the president is cognizant of the fact that we're in a deep problem here. a lot of people are still out of work. it's shifting more to a jobs plan, frankly, instead of an infrastructure plan as he mentioned yesterday. and we talked about the everglades here, a floridian, the everglades in florida, how important that would be in terms of infrastructure. 8 million of my fellow floridians get our fresh water from the everglades. we also touched on solar energy, how important that is not only from the sunshine state that i'm from but also the country for renewable energy. you see what a beautiful day it is here in washington, to have that kind of renewable energy, wind, as you mentioned water replacing oil as an important material to the future of the world, as was described in the earlier report. i think there's a lot of climate change issues that are going to be part of this infrastructure plan, this jobs plan, and i'm encouraged by that. when i was talking about the everglades, carlos jimenez, the former mayor of miami-dade county chimed in and said i agree with charlie about the everglades in florida. this is something that ought to be included in the infrastructure package, jobs package. but we differed a bit how to pay for it, talking about the corporate tax and some other items. >> you and i can go off on a tangent. good luck trying to use solar power in florida. there's a regulatory bottleneck and if you're an individual trying to do it, basically it's being discouraged. but i won't get there. >> you can indeed argue that. >> it seems to be designed to prevent you from actually having solar panels if you want them. but let me ask you about the group of people that were there. no disrespect, but governors and mayors are the most reasonable -- and i say this with no disrespect. that was a little tongue in cheek. these are the most reasonable people you will find in congress. why? you all have to deal with city councils or legislators. you all had to deal with basically corralling the person farthest away from you but that you still needed their vote so you understand this ability. i hate to put it this way, isn't that the wrong group of people? your group is not big enough to be bipartisan, is it? >> i think it's good to hear from those voices though. your point is well taken. one experience that i have with president biden, when i was governor, we had the great recession. not great at all, as a matter of fact. but president obama, i was then a republican and he a democrat, invited me to go to ft. myers to be with him to literally embrace the stimulus package at the time. i did so, reaching across the aisle because i thought it was important, and you're right. your more pragmatic as a mayor and governor. you have to find the path forward in order to get the right things done for the people at large, for all of the people. as i used to say when i was elected as a republican as governor before, i wasn't elected governor of the republicans of florida, i was elected for the people of florida. that's how a mayor thinks and how president biden is thinking. he's doing an extraordinary job and he kept a great tone during our meeting yesterday, listening to everyone, looking everyone in the eye, getting their feedback and the stories they had to share about when they were a mayor at one place or another and had an issue to deal with and find compromise to get it done. and that was the bottom line and that was important. >> i guess what is the plan -- you've had firsthand experience. how do you have that conversation with an elected official who says, you know what, you're making a good point but my voters aren't going to believe it? >> that's typical. but i believe in people, and i believe that most people are pretty rational. there's extremes on both ends. we both know that. that's just something we're living with. but by and large, most people believe in the same kind of things. they want a good education for their kids, a clean environment for our society, safe streets for our people and opportunity to excel economically if you had those god-given abilities. so we're really not that far apart. i think we can come up with good compromise. one example is talking about the percentage of corporate tax. maybe going up to 28% according to the president's proposal. maybe not want to get that high from some of the republicans in the senate. time will tell, but i think we can get to a good place. we have to, really, for the american people. >> republicans are turning their fire on your colleague maxine waters for comments she said about the derek chauvin trial. where do you stand on this? do you have any issue with what she said, and do you think the republicans are upset in good faith? >> it didn't sound to me like she was advocating violence. she said we need to be present, we need to show up, we need to express our views and that's appropriate. that's called freedom of speech when i went to law school and the first amendment. that's important for people to be reminded of, peaceful protest is fine, it's part of our american heritage. it's what gives us our voice dis that be at the time and it should never be violent, obviously, what we experienced back here on january 6th, but, my god, to silence people and not have them be able to express their point of view, we don't want to go there either, and there's a balance that needs to be nonviolent and productive and peaceful. that's what we have to look for. a big decision in the trial coming up soon, i pray as the president is for peace and calm. >> congressman, charlie crist, democrat from the tampa area, thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> up next, electric vehicles could be a major key to tackle the climate crisis, but won't be easy getting them up and running. we'll explain, next. bipolar depression. it's a dark, lonely place. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. emptiness. a hopeless struggle. the lows of bipolar depression can disrupt your life and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms, and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. now i'm feeling connected. empowered. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrollable muscle movements as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. this is where i want to be. talk to your doctor and ask if latuda could make the difference you've been looking for in your bipolar depression symptoms. >>> welcome back. nbc news is taking a special look at the climate crisis this week ahead of earth day and ahead of the international climate summit this week as president bush gears up for that summit. this afternoon he will tour the electric car plant. the infrastructure plan the white house is proposing pushes $174 billion for electric vehicles. currently electric vehicles make up less than 2% on the road in the unitedan exclusive inside look at a plant in lordstown, ohio. >> if you think about it, chuck, if you wanted to go out today and buy a union made electric vehicle, you can't do that. if you even go to buy a tesla, the batteries are made from asia. and while the signals the federal government is sending through its own purchasing power is important, but what is really happening right here, what the auto industry is doing by signaling a different direction that will hasten this shift. inside the old cells which is going to be about the size of 30 football fields, we talked to executives that said they are designing battery cells that can be stacked in pouchs and you can have the same battery cells going into an electric cadillac or an electric hummer. they hope creating those new options will make it possible for more consumers to choose electric vehicles over gas gusling combustion engines that make up about one-third of our greenhouse gas emissions, and when you think about the politics here

united states maybe that will have an impact on britain a democrat from minnesota betty mccollum introducing legislation in the united states to make military aid conditional on the detention of children this after all being palestine prisoners day do you think you wouldn't have heard that before that legislation would even be considered in the u.s. about the detention and alleged torture of children by an israel backed by the united states the european union in the u k. i think one happens is that. in the last 2025 years. and very significant should now merit in public opinion. research. any impact on if you want pondered stronger bum or on the political system. bob. thank you we can see the beginning of. 1 1 1 more and more. and we will hear more about that especially in the democratic party we should not be. too long before we will hear people. making statements. to the reality on the wrong spectrum not optimistic about the. ministration but i do think this is a very it's a process you know. very snowy there is a change. in our. people under occupation and. hopefully we will come back to this. on the way to changing and. stop the suffering of the pundits being on the ground because as you say it must be very. britain's lame anita jeremy corbyn was brought down about accusations of anti-semitism when a brought up palestine and as for lloyd austin joe biden's pentagon was just declared a. commitment to israel in

united states, february is black history month and to commemorate this special month, we will honor black americans who served in the united states military during world war ii and helped to defeat nazi germany. their service is more remarkable when viewed against the backdrop against racism and persecution that they faced at home, even while fighting for their country abroad. this history has been buried or overlooked often. we hope to shed some light on it and its intersection with holocaust history in today's program. i am pleased to be joined by two special guests to bring this chapter to life. first, deneen brown is an award-winning journalist for the washington post and an associate professor in the philip merrill college of journalism at the university of maryland. hi there. deneen: good morning. it is great to be here. >> so glad you are here. lynn williams is a longtime friend and colleague who is an educational consultant to the museum. so good to see you. lynn: good to see you and good morning to both of you and our guests. >> please send your questions by posting them in the comments section and we will get to them as many -- get to as many of them as we have time for. lynn, let's begin with you. we have a lot of viewers less familiar with the american context. tell us about some of the pressures average americans were grappling with in the 1930's and 1940's, more specifically the way that racism influenced the country during that time. lynn: in order to understand this period, i will focus on three major realities. the first was that the unitedtates was in the middle of the great depression. you see, this is a migrant -- these are migrant workers huddled in this tent during the great depression. the second was that we were coming out of about 12 years away from world war i. and americans were not interested in foreign engagements. the wished -- they wished to be isolationists and did not have the stomach for another entanglement. the third is the intolerance in general. there was animosity against jews , very pervasive against foreigners. and racism was also at play and rampant all over the country. we think of the south but this is a restaurant in ohio, the picture that you are seeing in front of you. white trade only. that is a prevalent message in the time. there were limited opportunities for black people. much of the country was still segregated. schools and public transportation, bathrooms, everything was basically segregated. not only in the south but much of it in the north. and then, finally, there was violence. the
