it's a vietnamese film or a film about vietnam. it's a from a black perspective which is something we never got during the during the during the war nor know the films that followed. it's kind of. the treasure of the sierra madre but also it's it's poses a lot of questions about. or hits issues about post traumatic. shock syndrome. post any conflict that that men are involved in and the neglect that happens it also looks that trumps america today it also looks at black lives matter. what is very interesting is that people thought that spike had put in the black lives matter moment in our film post shooting because of the recent rise in the protests around the world and i have to say that that was the 1st thing that we shot almost 18 months ago so. for me what this sort of shows is that the situation is the same and that you could have almost predicted that this was group if this would happen at some point in time and that this film would have been propitious for that moment in time but it's unclear on this well worth seeing it's a

from world war 2 vietnam hollywood has consistently shown the great white hero saving the world. but hollywood got its history wrong in not getting the true story . in fact the 1st american killed by the british at the boston massacre was a black man i was a black man and. yes. crispus attucks was the 1st in a long line of african-americans who served and died for their country. after the 2nd shot. in before you start a fire all hell breaks loose in 2008 director spike lee told the story of the real life the 92nd infantry division the so-called buffalo soldiers who fought in italy in world war 2. they. were using force. for them and lee's film wasn't the 1st to show black americans in combat in glory going to washington plays a soldier in the 1st all black company in the civil war i don't want to provide you with the films with african-american soldiers front and center are still the exception stripes on their white peers furnivall. most studio and most filmmakers have been white males and they've been telling a white male story imo but with the black lives matter movement the ca

now it is understandable that vietnam has been a major concern in foreign policy. but we have not allowed the war in vietnam to paralyze our capacity to initiate historic new policies to construct a lasting and just peace in the world. when the history of this period is written, i believe it will be recorded that our most significant contributions to peace resulted from our trips to peking and to moscow. the dialogue that we have begun with the people's republic of china has reduced the danger of war and has increased the chance for peaceful cooperation between two great peoples. within the space of 4 years in our relations with the soviet union, we have moved from confrontation to negotiation, and then to cooperation in the interest of peace. we have taken the first step in limiting the nuclear arms race. we have laid the foundation for further limitations on nuclear weapons and eventually of reducing the armaments in the nuclear area. we can thereby not only reduce the enormous cost of arms for both our countries, but we can increase the chances for peace. more t

it's not just the philippines but vietnam as well which is fighting artists. after more than 3 months without any domestic transmission the latest outbreak began in the central city of denying and then spread to more than 13 locations around the country are thought of things have moved quickly to contain the name just outbreak planning for the worst vietnam has converted this sports arena into a back of covert hospital should the outbreak worsen the 1000 beds here would ease the pressure on hospitals in vietnam's coronavirus epicenter the city of denying there on july 25th confirmed its 1st domestic coronavirus case in 3 months 2 more infections were reported the next day the government wasted no time in responding it banned wildlife imports reimposed social distancing suspended the domestic football league and on the 27th all tourists were ordered to leave denying 80000 people mostly vietnamese holiday makers were abruptly evacuated from the beach resort authorities were taking no chances and people were not protesting. i should go back tomorrow afternoon but

diego california and right after i came out of vietnam i was carrying no some marijuana from from vietnam because it was good and i was smoking it on a regular basis i learned about that over there. and i was busted with it and thrown it into federal slowly charged very serious but increase and i was with 5000 young people blacks spanish panic americans and a few white people mostly old drug crimes nonviolent but they were being severely don't with at that time it was the beginning the very beginning of the war on drugs nixon had just been elected he ended cleared that war yet but he was about to so we were the 1st wave that i could see the in the injustice of it these these kids most of them were coming from rough lives they didn't want to go to vietnam you know they they were boarded at the best of their ability but many of them were drafted the way that they were trying to make extra money on the side and that was the way to do it there was a system that i saw in america which and of course i was lucky because my father got me out of jail with the with with money there was there was cl

of the fallout from the american disaster in vietnam caused more and more filmmakers in hollywood to take a clear stand against when. they was successful on the stone one for oscars with platoon but can a film really be anti will have a pacifist message with all the slow some. believe the whole problem with a pacifist war film is that this is a contradiction in terms. i think it's definitely possible to make war films in such a way that at the end of the film people are filled with what classic tragedy called pity and ah or shock and horror but i think that only works by virtue of the narrative you tell a strong story like the bridge it shocked audiences 15 years after the end of world war 2 was german society was then experiencing an economic miracle that the displaced and the memories the killing and dying the book is something very courageous about that is especially suitable for young people here from the back because it's about young people and they can identify incredibly well with all these characters you've got these are there's also an excellent film an incredibly well perfo

they are among part of america's secret army in the vietnam war. now they say they're being hunted by the laos army picked off one by one time is running out for the hmong of northern. the dead of night and a rendezvous on the fringe of ages dances jungles. these are my guys they are home on a rugged tough people used to harsh conditions. for the people living in fear. when we talk we whisper when we walk we try not to create noise and we try to avoid the danger. the danger is posed by the laos army they are everywhere the hmong told the and ambushes are common it's about midnight now we've been walking for route 3 hours up this huge hill hallways are put up with his tortures route for somebody like me but for these young hmong fighters it's a normal walk in the jungle and the sort of care they have to take to avoid the laos army. a few welcome hours of sleep beneath the dense canopy awaking to the chill of an early morning in the highland jungle of northern laos. breakfast was a kind of yam a staple diet for the hmong but something i would come to

but in vietnam, back in the day, the h53 cost a lot of money. if they got shot up, they had to really answer for it. we did not have a lot of them. we needed that aircraft for the heavy lift. if we lost an h46, no big deal. we had tons of them. we can always replace it and the crew. but the h53, you can imagine how we let them know what we thought. [laughter] they kept us out of a lot of the information that we needed. anyway, we sailed south and we loitered off the peninsula. we sat there and sat there and sat there, waiting for the south to fall and things slowed down. on april 10, they diverted us to cambodia. we went over there. the operation order was set. the 53's were going to run that mission completely because the distance from the ship to the landing field was 130 nautical miles. the h46 would have to refuel when we got there in order to get back to the ship. we ran search and rescue off the coast of cambodia. should an h53 go down en route or get shot down, we could go in with a team to rescue the crew and rescue the aircraft if we co

. >> the vietnam stuff, you're going to go and live in vietnam, are you still going to? >> yes. >> when? >> well, as it happens, when i finished the section i'm working on right now with this lyndon johnson's passing in this incredible burst to 1965, he passes the voting rights act, medicare, medicaid, 16 separate education bills, whenever people paid to get to college, it's lyndon johnson. he does this in a few months so it's quite a study in one of the formative moments in american history. he wins a landslide election in november 1964 rams through so much of what made america what it is today. what did you do before when you knew hospital bills were coming? it's a new world and so many different ways because of what he did so i said going to explain this, how he managed to do it. so how he got these things through so fast. >> when i listened to audible.com, roughly two hours, there was one word i kept hearing. do you have any idea what that word was? besides power. >> minor? [laughter] >> let's stop there, that's not what i'm thinking of but if i figure it right, this

chuck norris missing in action we were refighting the vietnam war going back to save our p.o.w.'s that was a big issue back which is i think totally misplaced and that the american people did not really get a true picture of yeah it was like the idea was we could have won the war if we really wanted we had our hands tied behind my back our back like like hitler said about the germans in world war one was the same. me i was living in a benighted but knighted society communication was not possible they would even release life so that's how desperate i was that's why john daly is a dedicated the book to turn down that he's he's an english lower class guy who says you know we're going to do what we do and i think we need that spirit really need it especially now when no one's going to do anything with any guts because they don't want to see the the media in this country which is doing the government's work for them. because jamie helped a banana but i lucina for marcus on lost to ampara bella so many different ties between you i would say and they have and the left wing european vill

we shall begin with vietnam.hope in this room that there is a chance the current negotiations may bring an honorable end to the war. we will say nothing in this campaign that may destroy that chance, but if the war is not ended when the people choose in november, the choice will be clear. here it is. here it is -- for four years, this administration has had at its disposal the greatest economic and military advantage one nation has ever had over another in any war in history. for four years, america's fighting men have set a record for courage and sacrifice unsurpassed by our history. for four years, this administration has been seeking an honorable and to the struggle. never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so effectively. if after all this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all the support, there is still low end -- no end in sight, then i say that time has come for the american people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and the politics of the past. that is what

is the tough part but more people know about it in the eighty's and not only that it's worldwide vietnam movement was pretty good pretty much in america there was a great protest against in france about the vietnam war this is was it was an american problem where do you come down what was worse you know the thing that strikes me about what we're going through now what i have seen in minneapolis and obviously in portland and cities all over the united states is a coalescing like i've never seen before of black and white and young i think in the sixty's nixon would just point at those people and say they're hippies and weirdos they're not like us where the real majority where the moral majority are where the whatever he called it whereas today i'm seeing all these people coming together i'm not sure if they have the same cause but they certainly all seem to have the same passion don't they. and a good way to look at it is the sports world or live the n.b.a. team black lives matter on the court people speaking out people taking a knee. that's that's very new. we have no sports until now bec

to this area bizarro we have the pandemic which have already taken well over more lives than the vietnam war took 70 a protest against the pandemic you obviously had rioting but i think there's more black white right now than in the in the sixty's so if i'm tossing them up which was worse close but the sixty's. it's interesting because you and i have covered together many of the disturbances that we've seen in the united states but many of them were episodic or geographically contain there was the watts riots there was the miami to the riots in miami in overtown and liberty city there were the riots that we saw recently in baltimore but they didn't spread around the country this is the 1st time that i can recall where the riots and the protests have been all but universal that's what i think compares i guess sixty's right now oh yeah i agree with you completely the eighty's more people know what was going on in the eighty's and we know what was going on in the sixty's with the internet and all the things available to us yes and the protests are more much more of them going on in the in o

ever since vietnam and watergate, america has lost faith in washington. celebrated the idea that washington was responsible for all america's woes. it somehow became the definition of patriotism to love the country, and yet hate its government. and that created a self-fulfilling prophecy. as government was defunded and delegitimized, it became more dysfunctional. then confirming the view of anti-government activists. but beyond america, there is also a story here about the rise of the rest. for a long time, america had a huge advantage. there were very few countries on the planet that had gotten their acts together. the united states, a handful and western european and east asia, that defined the advanced world. but over the last three decades, other countries, lots of other countries have become savvy at economics and politics, and government. places like singapore, rivalled the best in the world for government. south korea and taiwan once corrupt autocracies handled the pandemic with extraordinary skill. canada and australia have managed to combine an a

he wanted them out of vietnam and that wasn't easy because he was given with a north vietnamese saidtory wasn't prepared to negotiate at all and he was under a lot of domestic pressure. the united states has been very hurt by vietnam and very badly divided, so i think that was a concern. a lot of economic trouble because inflation was running high and partly because of the expenditure on vietnam. so nixon was conscious of the position and the world had been damaged by its own internal troubles and its involvement in vietnam. he was concerned about his relationships with allies and this was also one of his main concerns about the soviet union, which was of course enjoying the americans coming to greece india non- and then proving to be very difficult in dragging its feet on arms negotiations for example, so i think for the united states it is a troubled time and there is a loss of confidence because of vietnam. nixon was very concerned about this and that is one of the reasons he thought it might help to rebuild the position in the united states. c-span: was the relationship in 1972 b

in vietnam's capital hanoi the streets a bustling but many people a worried about a rise in corona virus infections. and. i am worried that the. return to the country i've always been reminding myself to wash my hands frequently and avoid places. often nearly 100 days with no local cases the country has reported the deaths of several people the 1st to die from the illness. but it's very unfortunate that there have been people dying of cribbage 19 in vietnam but there are people who have been suffering severe illnesses for a long time and the virus was the fuel that further deteriorated their health condition. with bars and pubs ordered to close the usual nightlife in hanoi old quarter has come to a halt large gatherings have also been banned to vent the spread of the virus. i'm sad that the new wave of the pandemic has come but juice the current situation . we have to try our best to stabilise ourselves so our businesses can survive break began in the coastal city authorities knocked it down and stop domestic flights but the infection has spread to other major cities like hanoi and what

particularly vietnam you are seeing trade between the united states and vietnam increasing a lot of these are sectors by the u.s./china vietnam is one of these countries that has benefitted. it is coming from quite a small base and you are seeing a lot of growth vietnam is a regime that still aligns with china but is more u.s. centric in the way that it does business. >> a few more countries, just to note how the crisis has been uneven russia impacted on import. switzerland, the least impacted on import. why is it so uneven and why are some countries doing better than others >> if you look at commodity prices and look at russia and the amount it brings in from exports. at the beginning of march, a lot of countries have been significantly affected are very effected on export revenue from oil. that is plies to the middle east as well. for a country like switzerland, because gold has been a health and is a major export of switzerland, it creates a better recovery outlook for switzerland. >> we are counting down to jackson hole and the issue of inflation if it will go above the 2% what is the

we are at war in vietnam. president, who is commander-in-chief of our forces refuses to say, refuses, mind you, whether or not the object of his victory, and his secretary of defense continues to mislead and misinform the american people. enough of it has gone by.
