Young child with hydrocephalus being cared for at an orphanage. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid results in an abnormal widening of spaces in the brain. In Vietnamese children the condition sometimes occurs as a result of the child having had prenatal exposure to dioxin, the chemical contained in Agent Orange. Large tracts of land in Vietnam are still adversely impacted by the chemicals used by the American forces in the Vietnam war (1961-1971). Vietnamese authorities claim that a significant number of Vietnamese citizens are still suffering from the adverse effects of Agent Orange. Filmed at the Buddhist orphanage, Ky Quang Pagoda II, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

A Vietnamese video store owner who tried to rehang a post of Ho Chi Minh was met by a crowd of one-thousand protesters this morning. The controversy began over a month ago, when Truong Van Tran put the poster and a Communist flag on display at his store. He was forced to take them down but had recently received a court order allowing him to rehang the items. Tran made his way safely to his store today to rehang the posters as police in riot gear kept the protesters at bay. Tran left shortly after. Most of the 200,000 people living in Little Saigon's residential area are former political prisoners or refugees of Vietnam who hate the communist government. The crowd of protesters was made of Vietnamese-Americans and American veterans of the Vietnam War. At least 12 people were arrested.
