i have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know is that it turns the body but together because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended used to do we were indeed journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. in the 1st films of the human eye is the race is on. to find the world's most typical middle warry is. that these are the descendants of new pools and legends will get rid. of those. books good prices so ferocious they took on the minds of the british army. to. stand by their courage the u.k.

has enlisted a brigade of the more than 200 leads for the law. today thousands of young appalling names confused to join this and leave you know just you know. only a few to make it. through the flooded squares and here is one of one east finds out what it takes to join the world's fiercest fighting it's . 'd all. morning. these boys are about to face the toughest 10 days of their

lives recruits into a 2020 central selection mock most rugged culture. they've basin thousands of hopefuls to get here but that's nothing compared to what they'll have to do next or live out our. pocket marca. every year the british army holds a grueling competition in the pool to select the newest members of its legendary brigade gym a. bad guy i have lost. jimmy kimmel john crow. many have trained for yes' to case here every test every point every 2nd counts so you must focus on the prize is a career as an elite soldier and british passports for the whole family but they

have to be willing to fight and even die for the u.k. . garner the party who invented barney to buy gas for connor has. only the brightest and strongest will be selected. for the others it will be the crushing ind of a mind flung dream. best of a dinner party. it's easier to get into harvard university then to join the british has more than $12000.00 boys applied this year and the army is going to take less than 4 percent. of the loan. kemal groom is hoping to be one of the chosen few. he's from a family of farm the life has always been

a struggle for them but this is kemal one chance to change that. the only thing i can think about right now is joining the british army there's nothing else. if i succeed i'll be able to get my parents out of poverty give them a normal life and all the happiness they just. to prepare for the gear to try out kemal and his best friend have been at this training center for the last 2 years. they've both tried and failed to join the british army before so this year the pressure is really on. obviously i want both of us to get in but if only my friend makes it i won't be sad or jealous it will be a proud moment for me. well another.

russell brought it on the. knicks told their friend cuda is packed and ready to go . it is over. there. i'll draw right man that. is the. ducks pretty nervous himself it will be life changing if he's accepted into the kircus some big thing for me and then for my mother also like. i won her only dream is for me to join the british army so that i can give us a good life so that i can have a better future. to the. critics mom raised him in a tiny village with no running water his father an elder sister died when he was ice she's all he has father's america head of the family and i knew.

my father was the head of the family but after he died all the responsibility was fell on my mother's shoulders society looked down on her because she was a widow it was so hard for her to raise and educate me. prim kumari ran a small fruit stall to support her son but there was never enough money she had to borrow from lunch shocks to pay for cutting training. now she owes about $10000.00 more money than she's ever had outside king article quietly be near. they came and asked me who wins the money and when i going to get it back how are you going to pay me a quote on all of. my i just wanted to give them a good education so he could stand on his own feet. is her only

hype if he gets into the british army he'll be able to pay off her debt. yes. i feel. bad if. i feel really bad that my mother has to ask other people for money sometimes these rich people try to humiliate us. i hate it but we have to put up with this. discounted stuff. there's a lot of pressure. when i feel like quitting i remember everything she sacrificed and that motivates me to keep going. for.

all of this hope and sacrifice is about to come to a head. finally it's the 1st day of the physical tests. in the crowd of anxious boys i spot best friends come and we'll hit. some practice whether. there is definitely a lot of competition it's really tough because there are limited places you have to be very mentally and physically fit. but you're right the next week these boys will run jump push and pull their bodies today absolutely make this. one look good. in

the end only a few will make it through. with more than $700.00 bodies in the fight after the. an eye out for the real hit and come all the. they're off to a great start the g.'s of training seem to be paying off. in a race after grace they finishing near the top of the bridge. but the competition is fierce and there's no margin for error. believe it or. not. but a future at stake come on the road of giving it their all up and based scoring while

someone has a. i wanted to join the british army since i was 7 or 8 years old so i want to. this is my biggest dream if i succeed i'll be so proud when you are in the law why over to. but their trial is far from over all the boys have to pass a medical and it's the one test they can't prepare for. cut up says some of their friends have already filed it. normal last don't want to go to him saying that like their medical check up in a normal hospital came out fine there was no problem but in the camp for some reason they failed. i'm a little worried there's a chance that i'll fail. that

. for 2 days the boys will be poked and prodded to make sure they have no hidden illnesses or injuries now hold. everything from their joints to the teeth will be examined any problems place it up . and not if they want to cause i want you. to walk off with devon if i need. one suddenly cut a can come on a pull decide the tests picked up a hot man and now they heading to hospital for a thorough check up. doctors have to do an ultrasound to make sure the hots

a functioning normally if they know the boys will be disqualified. so incredibly stressful these boys have quieted some of them for years to get to this stage to join the caucus and this test could mean the end their dreams. it takes just a few minutes but the doctors giving anything away will have to wait for the results back at the camp. the uncertainty is excruciating. for them if they fail they'll have to leave immediately. well you want.

i'm really hoping that by and cut it could have passed. but at the gates it's clear the news isn't. all so sorry about. how you doing. the text hisses showed an abnormality with his harsh prolonged intense exercise could cause sudden death. he can never be a soldier in the british army or do you plan to do. all. those home back to the village. where you had a chance to speak with or. cut

a cusp in 2 g.'s and his family thousands of dollars training to become a good. all of it has been fanaa think. back in the camp kemal is the last one to find out his results after what happened to cut uk i'm worried he'll also be sent higher. than 'd process graduates here and were you nervous. because you were sent to the hospital as well but that was so so sad because one of the phone callers yes all 3. were you sad to say kind of. i know how hard it is i can feel that pressure that things are looking. good afternoon by us from outside the staff are finally able to give the remaining boys the good news i know some of there is that the barrier medical getting away oh there's something about

a medically do not say the same son. thank you. thank you. for now c'mon and roll him up both safe and they can call their families. when you're. low. on. or more your camera phone. i'm a metaphysical notice of because i do but the stress of the last few days has taken a toll on kemal he's lost his confidence which was about his how good i would be asked in the one i said i'm going on. you know. but it's. not even real he also gets through to his mom.

look at out mommy. this is his last chance to get into the british army they won't let him try again because he's already failed twice so i wasn't going to when i didn't get in i was devastated i just wanted to be alone as i was living away from my family i felt like in their eyes i was a failure i couldn't bear it i just couldn't move on. its mother says she tried to support him but the whole family was devastated. the month there was none that i was in when we last saw it makes me so sad. i can't stop my tears when i think about it. it's hard to see. your child works so hard and still fail. and we try to console him we told him he could try again because there was time. but inside we also felt hurt. anybody.

she has used all the family savings to pay for roads training 'd and that's put enormous pressure on him the minute he has worked really hard his hands were full of blisters and his back was totally bruised because he carried those heavy baskets he would try so hard. for too long. family have watched him struggle with his disappointment they're now bracing themselves for whatever happens next again. hoping that he'll get in but i've told him that in case he doesn't. control yourself i'll come and get you and bring you home. they weiss is almost over the results are out in just

a few days but the boys have one last chance to impress the repairs that's. what we're telling. you. tomorrow is the final physical test the infamous price. each boy has to carry a doc band big basket filled with 15 kilograms of sand and they have to do it while sprinting up the mountain. the. one i found and. today i am making sure they baskets otitis securely. seems pretty happy with he's the commander he's having trouble. with goes all of them got into. trouble here because of. a lot of trial and

error his basket is ready but it feels like a bad omen. finally it's race day and the boys a rearing to go at the crack of dawn. well look i like a lot of people that are going to come out in the front row wearing a blue shorts dead body goes. to the middle. class. to the right. it's a steep 5.8 kilometers to the top a long winding road. through all that.

would be an opponent of ranges towering above the views a spectacular. but the only thing the boys i'm looking at is the competition. part of. this is not just a taste of strength it's a taste of sheer determination of those. to their bodies feel like giving up if they mind those that don't push them to the finish line. barking up. the road. to go. by the time the boys k.c.'s song can be nearly stabbed. by a. book about what they're really talking well. look

it is one of the 1st in his group to reach the top i just tell you the 30 minutes that's about 7 to. come out is nowhere inside. out but all those eventually i suppose. he looks absolutely exhausted. you know when you have where felt went. i'm happy to come but not satisfied with the wife because my dad my face a fizzing time was a bit slow there used to be do you think that's going to be a problem. yes of course it's going to be a problem because the loss of boys was gone critical move. ever since his scare at the hospital kemal has been struggling. but he could still be selected if his overall score is high. he would have to wait long

to find out. at the camp the moment of truth has arrived. the medical. miracle. go. one by one each boy will be told if you. don't got it. there's only $432.00 places and more than $700.00 hopefully it's. kemal is one of the 1st to be cooled. off to years of hard work it will take just seconds to learn his fate and now. at the camp gates families are also for the results. boys who fired coming out. brutha. malia and.

people trying to console him but he's not stopping anyone it's just awful kemal had tears in his eyes coming out and i didn't want to talk to us and i don't really blame him. inside drew hit is still hopeful. but he's one of the lost boys. left on the field. by nearly if he's 10. it looks like he's even. though you've. got 2 ways that is feel and that is that. we never assume because you're at the bottom of the kirov was it last did you think you were going to get a no you were not going to get it i was hoping to get in but i was missing ok the

graduation was about enough to go. for the boys who got in it's a moment they will never forget the day they lives changed forever. so great. i think i missed a milestone is the greatest that's did you think you're going to make a song or are on the verge of tia's others are in shock what they've achieved at such a young age is truly remarkable today was a fantastic day. the end of hope your journey through the recruiting process. and the start of a new journey into the british army. into the most famous regiment in the world the restoration records we're going to load up with these boys there is no turning back well done within days they'll be on a plane to the u.k. and onto a life boat had only dreamed about i wish you had the best on that next journey you

are now the future of the brigade of darkness and that is a responsibility that you will carry for the rest of your days in service good luck . in the age of the coronavirus information is more important than ever wonder when east investigates the battle for truth in china and beyond on al-jazeera.
