the influence money talks are on each hopes and i don't anything i mean it's for who i mean for the common people you know everybody walking on the streets or whatever i mean what are they going to do for us you know it's just more or less you know they get in face time and they're going to be like oh yeah we did this do that or whatever but it's nothing if we all stopped believing in that water it what's really the other option i guess i mean if martin luther king said you know it is the i have a dream or that avenue i nightmare yet a dream so i think that's what we all hope for is that we don't have that fatalistic view that we hope there's always a possibility to change the bottom line is that the un's agenda is important to the peoples of the world whether or not they're actually able to do anything about it remains to be free and until then we've got a lot of traffic. and i'll be back with the headlines in just a few moments see of. nature

and discover its beauty.

communicate with the wind. test yourself and. see what nature can give you. every month we give you the future the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us for technology update on our. data data generated from an electrical grid. you can do to do it in california. energy sources for simplex. let's go to smarter.

sweetums parliamentary elections a strain the country's democratic traditions with candidates from a far right party claiming they've been attacked and deny freedom of speech. and other stories that have shaped this week russia awaits a decision on the extradition know one of its most wanted terror suspects from poland that was where he was detained on friday but later released. no way reach agreement on the import of the energy rich parents see putting two and a fourteen year dispute over that region. all right next to aussies a special report takes a look at the world's conflict. right.

noice can you hear it. it's coming from the earth it's the sound of despair despair and. noise sent south millions of men women and children living in appalling conditions in extreme poverty extreme violence extreme exploitation. they are the orphans of the technological age. at the table of the rich and powerful. these are their stories some are shocking others. but in their own right. extreme.

as extreme as the compulsion for soldiers to disobey orders against their convictions and values. this is the story of three soldiers in three countries and three areas each was compelled to break his pledge of allegiance. i. was i'm. i'm. i'm i'm not good at the top i doubt i'd i'd i'd i'd have that i cut. i thought that. was what i thought.

in the army we were supposed to submit willingly to our superiors orders committee and i observe the rule my entire life until that infamous september eleventh is see i knew that blood was being spilled in the streets on it. but corpses were floating in the river for people. to sit down to vent crimes were being committed in which. i could no longer be a member of an army that was responsible for these injustices because you let it but then if you know it the kids it will be. eight this is the shit.

show whenever i deal becomes a nightmare. shand your good lord turns into satan to full fitness athon and day turns into night shift selfishly like that. i. you have the obligation to refuse to leave but when it's when you no longer believe in what you are doing and you can no longer stand up for your actions you must refuse. it. if you don't have a good reason to go to war. if you don't have

a purpose if you don't feel that you're doing something noble. if you don't believe deep within yourself that you fighting for freedom if you don't believe deep within yourself that you're fighting for democracy. if you don't believe that you're fighting. to make the world a safer place and you're left without a purpose you're nothing but my mercenary. and that's why i'm sad not to go back to my unit in iraq because i completely disagree i think it's worse and more on criminal and i don't want to be a part of it. but

. when you're a soldier. basically what makes you a soldier in legal terms is the fact that you sign a contract one month once you steve sign a contract. you are supposed to do everything they tell you to do you're supposed

to follow orders. when there is a war. and they give you give me your orders. it's very hard to see a human being to accept that because you're not really taking part of in the process of. deciding whether or not war is legal or it's illegal or if it's moral or immoral. but such believe such moral view. has absolutely nothing to do with what you have to do as a soldier you have to follow your orders. and

that's that is one of the most frustrating things among being a soldier and that you have no say. at the new academy though and after fifteen days in the states i was supposed to go back to iraq. better nor would better the decision not to report to you know military commander. was not easy to make it was very hard on them i'm risking a longer starting with my freedom i'm exposing myself to humiliation. i mean

risking my immigrant status in this country that's huge because i have a daughter who lives here. in. all of this has turned my life upside down for example i had to leave my home i stopped using my credit cards and my cell phone on me i couldn't see my daughter for fear of being arrested that i had to live with friends or relatives. i contacted lawyers my whole life changed when i wasn't free anymore i couldn't go back to college or get a job all this caused a lot of emotional turmoil in my life. within and. as a practitioner of military law over the last twenty six years i return many people to military control and it is never easy for someone to go bad it's never easy it

takes great courage for camilla to do what he is doing today because he does not know what he faces upon his return to military authority thank you thank. god. thank you thank you i'm thankful. i did not prepare a statement because what i have to say i have to say from the heart and it's a very simple message and a message and it simply says that i'm saying no to war. we're dying there iraqis are being killed every day and then here people are you know reading us about janet jackson's brass or the super bowl or whatever when there is a war going on right now and there are people die and people lose perspective very easily and hurts me deep inside because i'm a soldier and i saw the suffering firsthand and i'm making this stand right here

not. to prove that i'm right or anything like that but because of the soldiers in iraq who disagree with this war but don't have the strength to come forward so i'm doing it for them i'm not trying to my back my comrades i have this i'm not going to be a part of the war but i'm going back to the military today i have really no idea what's going to happen but whatever happens if they try to say that i'm a criminal and they give me many years in jail i listen know that that i made the right decision in the god has forgiven me already thank you. thank you thank the military now once he returns to military control has the discretion to decide what to do with him they can choose the administrative route that is processing his claim for conscientious objection or they could choose age. route to resolve this matter if they were to choose the judicial route then there is that strong possibility that he would face trial by court martial. we need to wrap this

. after this press conference what we intend to do is to take a bus and we intend to travel about thirty minutes from here to hanscom air force base while we arrive at the front gate we don't know wirral take him there are many unknowns. i was born in nicaragua into a politically active family my mother worked for the government. was an officer in the sending me stuff my father is a poet who sang in the revolution. states when i was eighteen years old. and that i. felt

like a stranger everywhere i went. when i came here country . i figured i should try to fit into north american society. the heart of this country. for me joining the army was a way of becoming a member of a fraternity. other country i already had clearly defined political views. also came to israel. anyone who comes to another country. especially in this country which is the jewish

homeland supposed to be a place for everyone. to be a part of israeli society. everyone else. had to get. everything. from the. volunteer paratrooper among the best of the record to prove it.

i had been accepted at the military school i felt like the proudest man on earth with my cadets uniform. at the end of the first year. and two years later graduated from the. well the rank of artillery officer. i was successful as a soldier i did my job and i was promoted i received several medals. and marks of recognition things were going very well. in the military i was proud to be an infantry soldier because the infantry is supposed to be the toughest job in the army the most dangerous job. but. i find those deeply moving but we're still a child. as i listen to the military and watch the troops march by i mean

i relive some of the happiest moments in my life. when i was an officer of the army the army prior to september eleventh. the death of thousands of civilians the terrorist attacks that's not something you can forget. very sad when it all happened. time that my national guard would be mobilized and we would be sent into the field to fight or to carry out a real mission. there had been so many. it

seems to me that if the situation was handled properly if there was a thorough investigation identify the people responsible for the attacks and then a mission to find. bring them to justice and all of this a good cause. at the time i still thought that being in the army and serving you know. could be done for valid reasons and could produce good results i want.

to. write the obit. off on a military installation. good. move it back. a good. book in fact backwards. and back.

it. up and. get it. well defined mission. we stayed add were baghdad international airport for four or five days. then we went to an iraqi air force base occupied by the u.s. army. and. we

started talking to people and they told us they approved of the invasion. and they were happy to be free from the oppression of saddam hussein but at the same time they wanted to regained back control of their country. they didn't want an extended occupation. the first real confrontation happened at the town hall and. that's where we had our first combat experience and there was a demonstration in support of that and against george bush. on. one of the. first there was no violence the demonstrators were shouting their slogans nothing more than seen.

after forty five minutes of protest. they started throwing grenades and it all became very violent. and the my unit was ordered to take defensive positions on the roof of the town hall. we were told. through. the. one point silence of complete silence all of the demonstrators about two hundred people started moving from one place to the other. one corner we saw a young man coming towards us he was holding something in his hand. through the telescope. specifically ordered to shoot to kill if anyone threw something that young man was holding something and he threw it at us. it was

a grenade and we all fired. he. was the first time in my life the target wasn't made of plastic. it wasn't a picture it was a human being. breathing human being. and by the way he couldn't possibly reach us because he was much too far. and. the. i shot him too and he was killed by our bullets he started bleeding demonstrators through his own blood.

for the first time i saw what bullets from a rifle from. to a human body. when those bullets pierced through human flesh and you see blood and death. and you realize what. my. training was for. i had never seen firsthand a human being killed by bullets and it was really hard for me at that it's something i haven't been able to forget and that i will never forget. i remember the first time will. tell me about it you know why.

it was. shows three. or four in the morning three. there were five of us of them lying in ambush. flat on the ground. one of us was always keeping watch. because we would always switch every fifteen minutes. all of a sudden i heard the sound of gravel rolling down. of the van i saw three fighters climbing towards us. whether it was very quietly very

slowly only. i thought if i wake up the others there will be me. to shoot or not to shoot to be or not to be. i had no other choice but to open fire. i only had two seconds to shoot three men. suddenly it's not an exercise anymore look at the intro real. track to the bullet inside and hit the guy right here. i saw is face explode. with but the thick illicitly shoe i just hadn't time to see the second guy he had

turned to look at his buddy who's had it been blown away i shot and killed him to. the third one who looked toward me to see where the shots were coming from. with the less that he saw me and he raised his collision a cough but it only took me half a second to shoot him down. have come i got up and went over to see. i just stood there. looking down at the bodies . for fifteen minutes. maybe longer he's maybe fifty years. could much more all of the ideals i had when i was eighteen or nineteen all of the good things the beautiful things my dreams could have very much they all started.
