because the strategic alliance between hun sen and beijing is crucial to hun sen, is existential to hun sen and for china? china has decided to make cambodia a military stronghold, an outpost stephen speaking to the exiled cambodian opposition leader, sam ramsey. he can see the full interview here on bbc news, just check the schedule online. ——just check the schedule for your region online. all this week on newsday, we've been bringing you a special series about the people we call game changers. the one thing they all have in common is that they have worked to improve the lives of communities who can sometimes struggle to fit into wider society. today's game changer isjoshua tay — the co—founder and deputy executive director of impart — which is a nonprofit organisation in singapore that helps youths who become too old to remain in government—run facilities, to find their way into society. thank you very much forjoining us on the programme. thank you very much for “oining us on the programme._ thank you very much for “oining us on the programme. good morning, monica. on the programme. good morning, monica- tell— on the programme. good morning, monica. tell us _ on the programme. good morning, monica. tell us a _ on the programme. good morning, monica. tell us a little _ on the programme. good morning, monica. tell us a little bit - on the programme. good morning, monica. tell us a little bit about. monica. tell us a little bit about the young _ monica. tell us a little bit about the young men _ monica. tell us a little bit about the young men and _ monica. tell us a little bit about the young men and women - monica. tell us a little bit about the young men and women you | monica. tell us a little bit about - the young men and women you work with. a , the young men and women you work with. a, , ., , the young men and women you work with. , ., , i. . . with. many of these youth, we have a wide ranae with. many of these youth, we have a wide range of— with. many of these youth, we have a wide range of them, _ with. many of these youth, we have a wide range of them, many _ with. many of these youth, we have a wide range of them, many of- with. many of these youth, we have a wide range of them, many of them i wide range of them, many of them with higher needs and risk circumstances. an interesting number of them have been increasingly socially reclusive. they call this... we have seen it spread across the world and in singapore also. ~ , ., _ , across the world and in singapore also. , also. when you say they isolate themselves _ also. when you say they isolate themselves like _ also. when you say they isolate themselves like hermits, i also. when you say they isolate themselves like hermits, why l also. when you say they isolate l themselves like hermits, why do also. when you say they isolate i themselves like hermits, why do you themselves like hermits, why do you the youth in singapore do this?
