[00:00:10] You're watching TRT World with me John Paul Davis,
[00:00:12] a reminder now of our main headlines: the
[00:00:16] Saudi Civil Aviation authority say that at least 12 people have been
[00:00:20] killed and more than 300 injured in the latest attack in the
[00:00:24] King Khalid International Airport in Riad, the
[00:00:27] a authority has issued a statement in which it didn't assign. blame,
[00:00:30] meanwhile, the Saudi Led coalition says it's also intercepted a missile
[00:00:34] southeast of Riad where the Prince Sultan Airbase is
[00:00:37] located. The US military
[00:00:41] say it has struck a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman. The
[00:00:45] ship is said to have repeatedly ignored
[00:00:48] of warnings and attempted to violate the ongoing US naval blockade on
[00:00:52] Iran. At the military say it was disabled without harming the
[00:00:55] crew. The UK's maritime organization say it.
[00:01:00] received
[00:01:00] of a of report of fire on board an outbound tanker in the straight of Moose,
[00:01:04] after it was struck by an unknown projectile when it comes after several
[00:01:08] ships anchored
[00:01:09] of near Razal Khamai in the UAE, not far from the
[00:01:11] of straight, were
[00:01:13] of instructed to leave. President
[00:01:15] of Donald Trump says
[00:01:16] in it's time for Ukraine to get new president, following criticism from his
[00:01:20] Ukrainian counterpart a US diesel deal with Russia.
[00:01:23] in Lodin Zelensky has won the deal will
[00:01:25] a only enable Russia's war. The agreement is expected to lead to the release of
[00:01:29] more. 300 thous tons of Russian fuel to the US and
[00:01:33] global markets. Well, I think you should
[00:01:37] have an election, and uh, he could have settled this thing many
[00:01:41] of times. Well, I think that Russia would like to make
[00:01:45] of deal, and we've had
[00:01:46] of it back and forth, but Russia would like to make
[00:01:49] of deal, but uh, as I said, this is
[00:01:52] of something that could have been solved many times, but for
[00:01:56] whatever reason, Zelinski does not want to make deal.
[00:02:00] Fresh Israeli strikes have hit the Gaza strip on Saturday evening, Gaza City
[00:02:04] and Dalal Balala among the areas targeted. Earlier on Saturday, at
[00:02:08] least five Palestinians were killed and eight wounded when an Israeli
[00:02:12] strike
[00:02:14] in in a gathering of of civilians in Gaza City. And in India
[00:02:17] demonstrators and police have clashed during youth protests in the country's
[00:02:21] capital, protesters demanding the resignation
[00:02:24] of the country's election chief who they accuse of
[00:02:28] side-stepping rules and
[00:02:30] regulations, well the news
[00:02:33] continues on TRT
[00:02:36] World.
[00:02:52] of
[00:03:50] of the
[00:03:58] of of
[00:04:05] of of
[00:04:10] it of live
[00:04:10] till to tell our
[00:04:14] story,
[00:04:31] of
[00:04:32] in Five weeks of war,
[00:04:36] civilians in the
[00:04:37] of crossfire, global energy markets under
[00:04:41] pressure,
[00:04:43] a region pushed to its limit, a world
[00:04:47] bracing for a
[00:04:47] of wider of conflict, then a
[00:04:51] sudden shift and the first seeds of
[00:04:54] dialogue, Washington and Tehran step
[00:04:58] back from the brink. Agreeing to a limited halt in
[00:05:03] of hostilities, a
[00:05:04] of fragile window to deescalate, yet the underlying
[00:05:08] fault lines
[00:05:09] remain. Is
[00:05:12] this a turning point or simply pause before the next
[00:05:15] escalation?
[00:05:21] US Iran standoff: continuous coverage on
[00:05:25] TRT
[00:05:26] World.
[00:05:57] The Pandora papers have exposed the offshore accounts of one the biggest artieves
[00:06:01] in the world. Prominent UK businessman Douglas Latchford smuggled
[00:06:05] thousands of artifacts out of Cambodia, Thailand and India which are
[00:06:09] now housed in museums and in private collections in the. This is
[00:06:13] something done by people were supposedly respectable, whose names are
[00:06:17] visible on public labels in museums. We didn't
[00:06:20] understand the amount of activity that he was up
[00:06:23] to in terms of buying and selling student
[00:06:26] antiquities,
[00:06:27] but some museums are refusing to admit that they have looted artifacts on
[00:06:31] display. We have so much evidence, not
[00:06:35] just documents, but we still have living people around who
[00:06:39] can say, hey, we saw this statue.
[00:06:42] stolen, but they won't be around forever, we have to
[00:06:46] collect that evidence now, we can't wait another 10
[00:06:50] years, these cultural properties need to come
[00:06:53] home,
[00:07:02] a couple decades ago, there were lot thefts from this
[00:07:06] location, there were attempts of arm
[00:07:10] robbery so... became habit to keep it
[00:07:14] secret,
[00:07:20] it's a national treesor, so it's important to keep everything
[00:07:24] set. many the pieces are pieces that
[00:07:28] were looted from temples and then brought here, these
[00:07:31] are recovered pieces, maybe trucks were stopped at customs or
[00:07:35] at the border, it has more than 10,000
[00:07:39] pieces, so this gives you a sense of some... things that were on
[00:07:43] their way out of Cambodia. My name
[00:07:47] is Bradley Gordon. I'm an American lawyer living in Ponom
[00:07:51] Pen. I have 15 years experience running my own international practice
[00:07:55] here. I worked with refugees and then I was hired by the
[00:07:58] Cambodian Ministry of Culture and fine arts in 2018 to get back stolen
[00:08:02] antiquities. I think it's
[00:08:06] correcting a historical
[00:08:07] wrong. Looting goes way
[00:08:11] back. We have. have the French coming to Cambodia who went to
[00:08:15] Temples and took out statues. Those statues are now at the
[00:08:19] Gibe in Paris. And the scale the
[00:08:22] removal really picked up over the decades. American Gis
[00:08:26] in Vietnam. 1960s, we start to hear
[00:08:30] that heads were going out. Heads were easier to take out than the
[00:08:34] whole sculpture. So,
[00:08:37] 72-79, we don't hear of too many statues
[00:08:40] disappearing. "there was a tragic
[00:08:44] chapter of Cambodian history where so many people lost their
[00:08:48] lives under the kamer ruch, but starting in the
[00:08:52] 80s we see it pick up again
[00:08:56] and by the 90s it had become massive, the looting that
[00:09:00] was going on. they were using metal
[00:09:03] detectors and it was incredible destruction,
[00:09:07] just taking everything they knew they could get a good price
[00:09:10] for.
[00:09:15] so we're tracking more than 2,0 statues at
[00:09:18] 105 museums around the world, maybe about a thousand
[00:09:22] in private collections. the team is working on gathering
[00:09:26] evidence, sometimes we are coming to location like
[00:09:29] this to see if anything that's been described to us matches what's
[00:09:33] here, here you can see their eyebrows,
[00:09:37] yeah eyebrow and the nose, that will help us in terms of
[00:09:41] building case. when we are looking outside of Cambodia and we see something
[00:09:45] a private collection or museum, we can say it's definitely
[00:09:48] cambodian,
[00:09:51] yes,
[00:09:55] so if we look at it and then look at
[00:09:58] that, okay, it's almost like
[00:10:01] perfect in terms of being
[00:10:03] identical, so soop's
[00:10:06] a exceptional archaeologist, i can show her a
[00:10:10] photo and she'll say, oh, i've seen some... like that in such and such province,
[00:10:14] that's an incredible knowledge to have. she
[00:10:18] feels very strongly about what we're
[00:10:20] doing.
[00:10:26] 'it's broken the head, the food, the legs
[00:10:29] and where are the body of this
[00:10:33] feet, that is so painful to see something
[00:10:37] like this, it's sad, really
[00:10:39] sad,
[00:10:43] looters a lot of times they hack the statue off and they left the
[00:10:47] feet behind, we just feel like something
[00:10:50] missing, the soul are not there,
[00:10:52] so
[00:11:25] person in particular was very involved with removing
[00:11:28] antiquities from Cambodia, Douglas
[00:11:31] Latchford, he's one the greatest art thiefs in
[00:11:35] history many the
[00:11:36] and statues that went through his hands, went to museums and private
[00:11:40] collectors, so they're in people's living rooms, in
[00:11:44] the child's bedroom, up on the
[00:11:46] wall, now our mission is to get them out of those
[00:11:50] living rooms and bedrooms and get them back
[00:11:52] here.
[00:12:02] You can find Thaian Cambodian antiquities
[00:12:05] easily, just looking at real estate
[00:12:08] porn, so glossy photos the
[00:12:12] interior of people's homes and a photo the living
[00:12:15] room, and you will see in the corner there'll be camer
[00:12:19] antiquity. I'm Angela Chou,
[00:12:23] I have a Ph.D. ti Buddhist art and
[00:12:26] literature and I'm an independent researcher working
[00:12:30] now to help find looted objects that left Thailand
[00:12:34] and Cambodia. All the work that I do was
[00:12:38] volunteer work. I was actually investment banker for many
[00:12:41] years, so this freeze me to spend the time on things I'm interested in
[00:12:45] doing. Cultural institution is a
[00:12:49] historic phenomenon, so since the 19th century, many
[00:12:52] objects in places that work. col
[00:12:55] to places like Britain, France and the United
[00:12:59] States. Imagine the statue of David
[00:13:03] by Michelangelo in Florence, imagine
[00:13:06] somehow the Thai army came and took
[00:13:10] that statue and chopped it up and they dragged it back to Thailand, and
[00:13:14] now Italians who wanted to see their art had to travel to Thailand. This
[00:13:18] is the kind of situation we're facing.
[00:13:21] Since the time that the colonies became independent. "these
[00:13:25] countries have said these things left our country in
[00:13:29] illegal or unethical fashion, and now it's time for them to return
[00:13:33] to be once again part the
[00:13:36] culture and history of our country.
[00:13:40] so you can find a lot of objects in online museum
[00:13:44] catalogs, or catalogs of auction houses and
[00:13:47] dealers. so during the pandemic, I came across
[00:13:51] a brown statue in New York's metropolitan museum of..."
[00:13:55] Here's the statue in the Mets online catalogue and they have a
[00:13:59] photo of it. This is Golden Boy. It's a
[00:14:03] very informal nickname for a statue of a
[00:14:07] standing male figure with a youthful
[00:14:09] appearance. It is absolutely
[00:14:13] convincing in that sculpted to have a mass and a
[00:14:16] presence. And that presence is enhanced by
[00:14:20] the golden color of this gilded bronze. It's a famous statue
[00:14:24] that
[00:14:25] "i i would say is probably the the best or one the top southeast asian
[00:14:29] items that is in the collection the metropolitan museum bar in New
[00:14:32] York. the bron statue is about 900 or thousand years
[00:14:36] old and then they say cambodia, ancor
[00:14:39] Siemra province. the chance is
[00:14:43] extremely high for Cambodia and Thailand that that piece
[00:14:47] was illegally removed from the country. you
[00:14:50] basically um would have to
[00:14:53] assume..." that that object was
[00:14:56] stolen, this is just a statistical thing, so
[00:15:00] I tried to trace back, what do we know about that object, what
[00:15:04] specific spot that it came from, or who owned it in the past?
[00:15:08] the met hopefully provides um a little bit of of
[00:15:11] providence information, so this is information about who owned the statue
[00:15:15] before it came to the met.
[00:15:19] in 1988, dealer in London spink and
[00:15:22] son sold this statue to
[00:15:37] know that Spink and Sun collaborated with Douglas Latchford
[00:15:41] in sending antiquities illegally into the United
[00:15:44] States. Douglas Latchford was a
[00:15:48] British man who was indicted for looting and smuggling by the United States in
[00:15:52] 2019. He lived in
[00:15:56] Bangkok and was able to purchase items directly from
[00:16:00] looters in Cambodia and Thailand and then basically
[00:16:03] present respectable professional face to to
[00:16:07] the museums who really did not ask enough questions about
[00:16:11] how Latchford managed to get these objects.
[00:16:15] He had in fact so many objects flowing through him
[00:16:19] to London and New York that people started to say,
[00:16:23] you are these all
[00:16:24] authentic.
[00:16:28] So Glatchford engaged an art historian called Emma Bunker
[00:16:32] to help him to write three coffee table volumes about Kmer
[00:16:36] art. Camera art covers art in Cambodia and
[00:16:39] Thailand. We have excellent photographs that are
[00:16:43] reproduced in color. They are catalog enties with footnotes. He
[00:16:47] made efforts to use these books to declare that these things are
[00:16:50] authentic. I noticed that a
[00:16:54] 2008 book by Bunker and Latchford, they do mention
[00:16:58] briefly this statue which is at the Met, a
[00:17:01] and footnote at the back, they say this statue is
[00:17:05] actually from Northeast Thailand.
[00:17:12] the the thing about it is that the Metropolitan museum
[00:17:16] of art says that this statue comes from
[00:17:18] Cambodia from SEMR province. Then in
[00:17:22] 2011, Emma Bunker and Douglas Lotchford published this
[00:17:26] book, mayor gold, and they do mention
[00:17:30] that 11th century statue
[00:17:31] at the Met, which they had published earlier. It says here,
[00:17:35] quote, the figure was... actually found at the village of
[00:17:39] bangyang, lahan district where its stone base is still
[00:17:43] visible and not in cambodia. what
[00:17:47] this footnote is telling us is identifying a specific place,
[00:17:51] a certain village a certain district, and it says its stone base is still
[00:17:55] visible, mean that's quite
[00:17:56] extraordinary, so it
[00:18:00] would be miraculous really if you could go there and
[00:18:03] actually find the base and try to see if maybe
[00:18:07] did come from
[00:18:08] Thailand.
[00:18:18] Kanwang is the leader in Thailand's culture heritage repatriation movement on the
[00:18:22] ground.
[00:18:32] Thanks to Tanongsak, lot more information has come out
[00:18:36] uh about
[00:18:37] how the... was conducted in Thailand, because Tonansak went to some these
[00:18:41] villages and actually spoke to the villagers who were involved in the looting and
[00:18:44] explained exactly how these things
[00:18:46] happen.
[00:18:53] I have to translate things for him, I have to find him some
[00:18:57] information. I am a historian, but my focus is
[00:19:01] mainly on Burma, but yeah, as husband and wife
[00:19:04] we share information, we... we share out
[00:19:08] discoveries เป็น ฐาน
[00:19:11] ของ ฐาน ของ นี้ ส่วน
[00:19:15] ปฏิมกรรม ฉลอง พระ องค์ ของ พระ เจ้า ชาย มัน

[00:19:33] รับ การ ประสาน งาน มา จาก คน A
[00:19:39] so we communicate to whatsapp, messenger,
[00:19:42] emails, the footnote said that the plint or the base the
[00:19:46] statue is still there, angela
[00:19:50] ระบุ ใน
[00:19:51] ไทย ว่า
[00:19:55] บ้าน
[00:19:55] ยางหัน
[00:19:59] ไทย, the problem is in the bunker book, it's not
[00:20:03] mentioned which province is in, so it's kind of like leaving out the state in the
[00:20:07] US. there could be different villages the same
[00:20:09] name.
[00:20:20] Our plan is to head out today to find the base the golden boy bronze
[00:20:24] statue currently at the met in New York to see if we can prove it
[00:20:28] came from Thailand. According to Latschwart's book, it's in a place
[00:20:32] called Banyang, but we're not exactly sure where the right
[00:20:35] banyang is.
[00:20:37] rubber trees or a type of rubber tree. So,
[00:20:45] Ban yang is very common name
[00:20:50] when in Thai. Ban simply means village. we Yang first means heard of this place, we google
[00:20:54] it and we found in
[00:20:58] lahan somewhere in, but then when we rechecked we
[00:21:01] realized maybe this b is not in
[00:21:05] province, virtually
[00:21:08] has no cambodian civilization
[00:21:12] intact.
[00:21:35] This is the problem with lot of camer
[00:21:36] art is that the ancorean empire spread across both
[00:21:40] Cambodia and large parts of Thailand, so camer art that we see in
[00:21:44] museums, it's not always clear whether it actually came from what is the
[00:21:48] modern state of Cambodia and the modern s
[00:22:20] which is the temple of bangyang village, it's not so far
[00:22:23] away from the most iconic camer style temples
[00:22:27] and it's not too far from the cambodian
[00:22:31] border, that's why we thought it's more likely for this
[00:22:35] base the statue to be somewhere in this province,
[00:22:39] it's just our gut feeling that says it should be in
[00:22:42] Buridam province rather than chayapur
[00:22:45] province, so we'll see, we don't know yet what's going to happen,
[00:22:49] we don't
[00:24:06] It was royal capital only for a couple
[00:24:09] decades before the royal capital moved back to
[00:24:13] Ancore.
[00:24:20] most តំបន់ important កោះកេ ទាំង មូល គឺ ជា ចំណុច សំខាន់
[00:24:23] នៅ ក្នុង ការ ស្រាវជ្រាវ ទាមទារ វត្ថុ បុរាណ របស់ យើង
[00:24:26] ដោយសារ នៅ កោះ យើង ដឹង ថា មាន វត្ថុ បុរាណ
[00:24:30] ស្អាត ៗ វត្ថុ បុរាណ ធំ ៗ ហើយ ដែល
[00:24:34] អ្នក ប្រមូល ទិញ ចូលចិត
[00:24:35] ទិញ
[00:24:40] statues
[00:24:40] so many that
[00:24:40] many we are tracking down come from this temple complex and the
[00:24:44] area around it. one the missing statue that we
[00:24:48] believe is from this area is:
[00:25:20] We are looking for more evidence at the temple to prove it taken
[00:25:24] from here, sadly it suffered some the
[00:25:27] worst looting, especially because Latchford was so obsessed with
[00:25:31] Gake.
[00:25:48] We're working with
[00:25:49] the team of.
[00:26:03] 'I think is maybe for the guardian, so
[00:26:06] we know the looters dug up this area and part of that area, it's
[00:26:10] like industrial looting, at least 40 or 50 people were
[00:26:14] here digging, they were either
[00:26:17] soldiers or local villagers, this was in the
[00:26:20] 1990s, it was very dangerous time,
[00:26:24] they came armed, there were other karamir groups
[00:26:28] in this area, all looking for treasures, all
[00:26:31] driven by the'. men from outside, Douglas Latchford and his
[00:26:35] friends, all to fill up western museums and private
[00:26:39] collections.
[00:26:43] We now have access to a tremendous amount of information from the Latcher
[00:26:47] family. Through years of of secret
[00:26:50] negotiations, we were able to get an agreement with
[00:26:54] Julia Ladford, the daughter of Douglas Ladchford to give
[00:26:58] us all the records relating to Cambodia,
[00:27:02] and that has been a treasure trove of information, we are looking through
[00:27:06] emails, we have his invoices, we have his
[00:27:09] receipts, we have his false provenants, we
[00:27:13] know now the path, many the statues that went through his hands
[00:27:16] took, they would go out the temple like prosect, and they
[00:27:20] would be taken across the border, from Bangkok, Latchford
[00:27:24] would typically ship it to London, so London was
[00:27:28] center point of activity, and then from London they went to other
[00:27:31] countries.

[00:27:53] security investigations covers a full gamet of
[00:27:56] investigations from narcotics to child pornography
[00:28:00] cases to money launch. ring, we
[00:28:04] also investigate the theft of cultural property, trying to
[00:28:08] prosecute those involved and return the artifacts
[00:28:10] back home. so we
[00:28:14] learned from Brad Gordon that the Cambodians were
[00:28:17] extremely interested in a particular statue,
[00:28:21] and it was scanda a peacock. homeland security have
[00:28:25] identified 12 museums in the U.S.
[00:28:28] that have artifacts that were sourced by Douglas Lashford. We also have
[00:28:32] four private collectors that we know of, we have a pretty extensive collection of
[00:28:35] artifacts from Lashford as well. We have a list that we're going
[00:28:39] through systematically to recover all those pieces and
[00:28:43] to scand a peacock as
[00:28:44] well.
[00:28:56] Israel has killed an unparalleled and
[00:28:59] unprecedented number of civilians. with the
[00:29:03] full knowledge of how many civilian lives each
[00:29:07] bomb will
[00:29:07] take
[00:29:17] a new chapter
[00:29:19] in afghanistan and even an attempt in coup are just to overthrow an
[00:29:23] autoocrat. you've seen the
[00:29:24] news. essentially Israel is apartide
[00:29:28] state, but the newsmakers dives deeper. we have to stop.
[00:29:33] We take the day's biggest story and debate the issues behind the
[00:29:36] headlines. That's the whole point of negotiation. They want
[00:29:40] to stak in the governance their. We
[00:29:44] bring you in-depth look at the events, conflicts and
[00:29:48] decisions that impact us all. All of you have failed, all of
[00:29:52] you have failed. The
[00:29:55] responsibility for dealing with that falls to the United Nations Security
[00:29:58] Council from every corner the globe.
[00:30:02] If fighting continues, what will there be left to fight
[00:30:06] for hundreds of thousands of not millions of people are left to
[00:30:10] start? The newsmakers
[00:30:14] on TRT World,
[00:30:18] a journey across a dynamic
[00:30:20] continent. Africans, you want
[00:30:24] to be prosperous, don't think about clients, don't think about tribes, think
[00:30:27] about countries. We explore
[00:30:31] Africa be. beyond assumptions, discover diverse
[00:30:35] perspectives,
[00:30:39] witness captivating stories, all
[00:30:43] to understand Africa better and why it
[00:30:46] matters. Africa matters on
[00:30:49] TRT
[00:30:50] World,
[00:31:01] and now we can. the fragment in the prasat kachap, it may
[00:31:05] be more than 10,00
[00:31:07] pieces, at least the looters were not
[00:31:11] careful in their looting, they hacked pieces off and
[00:31:31] we have information that scandal on peacock may be with a private
[00:31:35] collector in the US here ក្នុង ករណី
[00:31:39] រូប ព្រះ សក់ ជា ក្ងោក ប្រសិនបើ យើង អាច
[00:31:42] ទទួល រូប នឹង ត្រឡប់ មក កម្ពុជា វិញ ខ្ញុំ '
[00:31:51] other than scandona peacock, we now believe there were at least 12
[00:31:55] other major statues taken from Grachop
[00:31:57] temple, nobody's been able to figure
[00:32:01] out the exact significance of this temple, but if all
[00:32:05] these could be reassembled, it would be astonishing, I think it
[00:32:09] would give us much better idea of what, who
[00:32:12] was this family, who ruled this? royal capital,
[00:32:16] we found lot of information that could help us to get back
[00:32:20] more statue, so now we're going to talk to
[00:32:23] luter, when we meet
[00:32:27] him, we will try to just go through again with him in detail what
[00:32:31] statues he took out of here,
[00:32:35] but this is not a situation that we can predict what's going to
[00:32:38] happen, we're dealing with people have some
[00:32:42] pretty, some very dark histories. and have done
[00:32:46] some terrible things in the
[00:32:47] past.
[00:32:52] we finally arrived in Buriram province where we're hoping the base
[00:32:56] the golden boy statue is
[00:32:57] located. we are calling
[00:33:01] you just to give you a bit of an update, so
[00:33:05] we drove 180 km to
[00:33:09] . wow, i'm excited too,
[00:33:11] i wish i could be there.
[00:33:45] quite plain, i think it'd be quite difficult when you think about it to
[00:33:48] find just one object that is low to the
[00:33:52] ground, but if anyone can find it, i think
[00:33:56] it's
[00:33:58] ...
[00:34:00] 100%,
[00:34:05] we'll keep you update with whatever comes our way, i
[00:34:09] can't wait, okay, good luck tomorrow, keep safe, bye, bye
[00:34:13] bye
[00:35:15] he he might not speak, so we just let the
[00:35:19] two guys, the village headman and go in to talk
[00:35:23] to him, it's all about trust
[00:35:27] i guess, did this before and it
[00:35:30] took some villages three years to
[00:35:34] talk,
[00:35:38] we'll see, i have no idea what's going to
[00:35:40] happen,
[00:35:44] okay?
[00:37:16] meet blue tiger, he was involved in looting for about four years
[00:37:20] in the 1990s and
[00:37:22] he um helped to loot
[00:37:23] pr so for
[00:37:27] "each the informants that we're working with, they all have code names
[00:37:31] to protect them and keep them safe, and we asked them, do they have
[00:37:35] favorite animal? um, in this case he picked tiger.
[00:37:39] the reason we're using code names is because looting is still going
[00:37:42] on. we don't want other looters to retaliate against
[00:37:45] them, so it's it's always
[00:37:49] very sensitive situation when we meet with
[00:37:51] louter. we're going to ask him some more
[00:37:55] questions about specific statues at pressecoj." which will help
[00:37:59] us in our
[00:37:59] discussions,
[00:38:05] it's taking him a while to get here, so maybe he's not coming, so let's
[00:38:09] see, he's

[00:41:08] me it's been extraordinary to be able to take words,
[00:41:12] just take description from a former
[00:41:15] luter.
[00:41:20] and within a month or two months be able to say, oh, this is the
[00:41:24] statue that was in that temple that is now sitting in New York.
[00:41:30] We're finding more and more evidence and I think it's just
[00:41:34] matter of time before it's ganda and the peacock come back to
[00:41:37] Cambodia.
[00:41:51] We're finally meeting , we're hoping to
[00:41:55] find out if he knows anything about the bronze statue that we think was taken
[00:41:59] from the village 50 years ago, he has covid,

[00:50:23] How are you? good to see you, yes, nice to meet you
[00:50:26] all, thank you for coming, long
[00:50:29] trip. 10 years after first hearing about
[00:50:32] scandown at peacock, I'm finally getting to see the
[00:50:36] statue with my own eyes. We
[00:50:40] determined it was sold to a private collector in New York, we approached the
[00:50:44] collector, showed some evidence that the piece had been
[00:50:47] imported improperly. After presenting the evidence, the
[00:50:51] collector decided to walk. away from the
[00:50:53] statue, we came all the way
[00:50:57] from Cambodia for the repatriation
[00:50:58] ceremony,
[00:51:16] feeling very emotional, the scanda on the
[00:51:19] peacock to see it here in New York. in these
[00:51:23] offices is just startling and to see how beautiful
[00:51:26] it is, it is a magnificent
[00:51:27] piece. i
[00:51:31] feel so happy because it is very important
[00:51:35] for us as a Cambodian to have our culture, to have
[00:51:39] our soul the
[00:51:40] ancestors, because in
[00:51:44] everyday life we still practice, we still wasted the
[00:51:47] statute.
[00:51:53] "This is the return the son of one the
[00:51:56] greatest kings in Cambodian history, and we
[00:52:00] know so little about his reign
[00:52:03] that the statue itself starts to tell us..." story about what happened a
[00:52:07] thousand years ago in
[00:52:08] Cambodia,
[00:52:24] we find that so much was
[00:52:26] lost, there's a yearning among the young generation
[00:52:30] to understand better and realizing that
[00:52:33] Cambodian art and creativity and achievements,
[00:52:37] something they should be proud
[00:52:39] of:
[00:53:01] i would like to see every cambodian
[00:53:05] national treasure to come home and for the Cambodians
[00:53:09] have control over the destiny of those properties and to
[00:53:13] decide whether they want them to be tour, whether they want them to be in
[00:53:16] museums, whether they want them to be back at the
[00:53:18] temples.
[00:53:36] "museums she realize that actually returning something, it doesn't have to be a zero
[00:53:40] some game, they're a waste, they can collaborate and form new
[00:53:44] endeavors, curating, conservation,
[00:53:47] display.
[00:55:14] why is it Africana only? I'm telling you
[00:55:17] today, they are going to
[00:55:19] live,
[00:55:25] we got that flag down our throats all
[00:55:29] the time, you're not allowed to talk, oh no, that you
[00:55:33] oh, that's tabu.
[00:55:41] "It's supposed to be safety device, breathe in, breathe out and avoid the
[00:55:45] fumes around you, they knew what day they would come
[00:55:49] die,
[00:55:53] if Europe does not soon wake up, you face fear every
[00:55:57] day, is NATO
[00:56:01] a competitor or a threat? NATO is a threat for."
