A World in Disarray, a VICE special report, is a feature-length documentary that explores the disorder in today’s international landscape and how it plays out in four regions of conflict and tension. Starting with an exclusive interview with Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and author of “A World in Disarray,” the special observes America’s role in a post-Cold War world and the unfolding consequences of an “America First” policy, with perspectives from Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair, Samantha Power, Ash Carter, and others. Several VICE correspondents and founder Suroosh Alvi provide exclusive, never-before-seen footage as they journey through Syria, Ukraine, the South China Sea, and South Korea for first-hand accounts of ongoing crises. The special is available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand, and affiliate portals. Teaching notes and additional reading materials are available at www.cfr.org.

This segment originally aired on November 6, 2017, on VICE News Tonight on HBO. After nine months of secret collaboration, a global team of over 380 investigative journalists released the findings of one of the largest troves of leaked documents in history last week: the Paradise Papers. The investigation, shepherded by the same team that released the Panama Papers, offers unprecedented insight into the clients and business activities related to a Bermuda-based offshore services law firm called Appleby. VICE News Tonight on HBO went behind the scenes from Day One of the Paradise Papers, with exclusive access to the investigative reporters working in secret across continents to expose an unseen world of offshore accounts, hidden money, and financial maneuvering at the highest levels of politics, business, and finance.

Chinese New Year isn’t just a holiday. It's the largest annual human migration on Earth. And to Yang Jianguo and Liu Mingchun, it's the only time they get to reunite with their children 1,000 miles away. For decades, migrant workers like Yang have been the engine of China’s spectacular economic boom. But while their work is welcome, their children are not. The high cost of living and strict city regulations make essentials like schooling and healthcare difficult to access, and families, like Yang’s, often separate. An estimated 61 million “left-behind children” only see their parents once a year during paid time-off for the Chinese New Year. “Because we have to spend four days on the road, ” said Liu, “The only time we could get two weeks off is during the Chinese New Year, that’s when we can go home.” Yang left his rural home in Sichuan at the age of 20 in 1997 and became one of 287 million Chinese migrant workers who moved across country for a better life. After dropping out of high school, he became a farmer, just like his parents. Then one day, his uncle gave him the opportunity to work at an urban clothing factory in Shenzhen. “If I raise a pig in our home village, I’d have to wait for six months before I can sell it to make money, there’s no immediate income ” Yang said. “In Shenzhen, we get paid every month.” Today, Yang and his wife Liu are among nearly 8 million migrants living in Shenzhen, a major financial center in China that links Hong Kong to its mainland. There, two thirds of the population lives without residency registration in the city, which prevents them from getting the same level of healthcare, education, and social security as urban residents. When Yang and Liu’s kids were born, the young couple had full time jobs and lived in a company dormroom too small to raise them. Coupled with the other challenges of city life, Yang and Liu had to leave both children as infants back in their old village with grandparents, thousands of miles away. The two kids are now 9 and 15 years old. VICE News followed the couple on a 30-hour train ride from Shenzhen to their home in Sichuan for their yearly family reunion.

Thousands of migrants Central America have trekked across Mexico as part of the wave after wave of caravans fleeing persecution, violence, and poverty in their home countries. Among the group are scores of teenagers traveling alone and dreaming of a life in the United States that could help provide for their loved ones back home—most of them unaware of the threats of arrest and deportation made by President Trump and other U.S. officials.

The U.S. government hit a deadline last week to reunite more than 2,500 children separated from their parents under the Trump Administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy. VICE News gets rare access to what the torturous experience was like from separation to reunification for one family. In a powerful half-hour episode, "Zero Tolerance" uncovers the chaos and confusion created by a harsh policy the government was clearly not prepared to manage. From Texas to Alabama to Guatemala, VICE News follows one family trying to find a 7-year-old boy separated from his father.

After being sworn-in as the 45th President of the United States on Jan. 20, Donald Trump delivered a speech chock-full of populist themes to a crowd on the drizzly National Mall. Among them, he promised to return to government to the people and put “America first.” Watch VICE News Tonight M-F at 7:30 on HBO.

VICE News Tonight takes an unfiltered look at Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, in stories told by the people who have the most to gain or lose from Trump's administration. We spoke with people who are truly hopeful and feel validated. With people whose safety and liberty is at stake. And we talked to the insiders who understand what it's like to work with the most powerful person in the world. After all, the first hundred days (and the next hundred, and the next hundred after that) are not about what the president says in 140 characters. What matters is the impact of his policies on people across the country and the world.

VICE News Tonight presents America First, an in-depth look at President Trump’s unprecedented first year in office, focusing on his two biggest campaign promises: restoring manufacturing jobs and building the border wall. Correspondents Michael Moynihan and Isobel Yeung travel across the country — and south of the border — to chart the progress of key campaign promises, and meet the voters who rallied behind Trump’s political revolution. The documentary special features insights from Trump surrogates including political consultant Roger Stone and conservative commentator Ann Coulter. We also hear from key opposition players including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Undergirding it all is a focus group of Trump voters led by Republican Strategist Frank Luntz. Almost all of the people who voted for Trump in 2016 say he’d still get their vote today. “My biggest surprise in the last year is that many, many Trump voters are as mad at the GOP as they are at the Democrats. It’s Trump versus the world.” Read next: Democrats are probably going to give Trump his border wall - http://bit.ly/2GuRCDg Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com Follow VICE News here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicenews Twitter: https://twitter.com/vicenews Tumblr: http://vicenews.tumblr.com/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/vicenews More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideo

Katie Hill is running for office for the first time. The 30-year-old quit her job managing an organization that advocates for the homeless in Los Angeles, to try to ride the blue wave that is supposedly going to shift Congress in a more democratic direction in November of 2018. California’s 25th district is the last one that includes LA County that is currently represented by a republican. But the guy who represents it, Congressman Steve Knight, isn’t Katie’s problem yet. To get to the general election, Hill has to figure out how to pull votes away from two democrats who are campaigning for that seat too. There’s also a third democrat in the race who, at this point, is a non-factor. Pulling voters in her direction requires money. Lots of it. In California, money takes on added importance because of how expensive it is to run ads in the state. Any campaign, including Hill’s, has to spend an extraordinary amount of time picking up the phone and begging people for money. Hill has gotten pretty good at it, raising more than Bryan Caforio. He’s one of the other democrats in the race and he has a higher name recognition because he’s actually run for office before. But that push and pull between raising money and actually meeting voters is a hard one to navigate. “No one is saying I should focus on anything in the community,” Hill told VICE News earlier this year. That has to change now that Hill is in the last month of the primary election. So she needs to keep up with the fundraising while also doing more events, knocking on more doors and generally getting herself in people’s faces. And to do that properly means her whole life has become about winning. Hill said she’s surprised by how often she feels “like an asshole” because of the time she needs to spend campaigning. “You're not there for people that you care about anymore. That's that's the hardest part,” she continued. Until primary day on June 5th, Hill will probably continue to feel like an asshole. It’s the only way to win.
