cluster mission. and inside the container you have. and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of them there's a huge market right now for battle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordinance. since you've got these companies and n.g.o.s that have basically shrunk that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is they go to these places they will hire local train the locals how to do the clearance they'll let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their homes and they're putting themselves at risk

every single day when they go out there to clear areas of what.

the. into the local sounds of this is in the early polls along a little more. so let's talk while wolf.

if. a. big. thank you go to something of this is in cuba locals who run over. probably the most incomplete or the other. thanks.

i know my name is gemma from the village about to live. and we have already grows. ok i don't know it's been our job since we were born.

there's my father my brother and hired help me and the. oh well you know the day after the war was over i came back with my father. i know what. do you know this summer had passed and that we had water in the group mr mitchell this is our food. it was that and that he stepped on one of the kind of the way he thought it was a battery or something. i noticed it and then told him from the take your foot off that is a cluster bomb. he was surprised the days because we saw our group was full of them .

the most vivid memory is literally driving into these villages. and just seeing almost fields of clusters everywhere many of them had sort of failed to explode blows no bombs on the road you have to reach out for. yourself first of all. once when a village the wind blew a bit and a handful of them fell on the ground and we just started hearing explosions. make itself it's now i was set up as a result of the occupation of the israelis into may two thousand and one these writings were very they left behind a huge legacy obama in ones and the united nations saw a need to resolve the problem will be three months and they would make it so we'll see a second two thousand and one now if the instructor combination. and the united nations

. there the seeds for hundreds of thousands of people come flooding back into the south record what it is correct in their eyes. and we're confronted with. you know hundreds of thousands of unexploded possible. thank you. i think carries with it else walking. by the how to push her up and over to the right after the war on aug fourteenth two thousand and six be the lebanese army started clearing the roads making the residential areas so people can turn to their homes. with good that will support night managed to conduct quality assurance and we have working for us law and international organizations there's a huge market right now for battle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordinance. and

so you've got these companies and n.g.o.s that are basically shrunk that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is be code in these places they will hire locals. they were thrown everywhere in front of your house and in the garden in the valley no place was left untouched not even most and churches were spared and train the locals how to do the clearance i was going to die. when i found the first bomb i felt as though i had saved the person. will let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their homes this is something no one in south lebanon . and they're putting themselves at risk every single day when they go out there to clear areas of what. times are difficult. i heard that some guys are applying to

a company called dca notice and it has something i thought of it this way and that means it was a good opportunity from all sides i want to see first of all we couldn't go into our growth the idea of cluster bombs you know second thing so this is my country and i like for my country to be beautiful. surgeon which is also important as we would be better financially made to go. to the with ok there it is i'll shoot it. that's how it's. you see how it falls over. there it is i know i'm a mother now you know i don't have a house that one lives in we should have it was a while. because we've been in the gauge for

a long three years and been engaged and no marriage. yes we're planning on getting married once we have the money and the only thing holding us back is having a house that's going to montreal the house we can furnish it move in and live. where. i swell to meudon had it. come get it i'm scared you get it i'm not. if we don't have a house then we can't get married so to. you i swear you didn't hit one father supply doesn't that mean i got it yes i see fat is here everywhere. because i'm out of the world i look for work several times and there is nothing else that i should be found this company needed employees so we

applied. here you see. the numbers we decided to work at the county are some of the cleaner the hunter from the almost for the little kids and the mr to keep on working so i hope not the law will make money i'm going to house. you know with. let's keep them separate away from these thieves. we did well today with the birds . now we'll have a rock with the birds it'll be great you know but you. know how i wanted. to be.

on the ground on the farm markets not big on this. heat. i just missed the first time to call up or close to. it said about the presentation but if anyone's around they can still get injured twenty meters around everybody gets injured. and. this whole force heavily heavily here you can see the fire from the base and you know same same thing if you go behind the holes. so here you can see pieces from the roof. because they're on through the roof. and they even seem to hold. on to these blaster he. has been one for.

ready sharp small fragments. which company if it's one centimeter concrete so you can imagine if they come through the human body they call what he did build such. a cluster munition is basically a container and inside the container you have many many small bombs and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of them when a canister opens over the target each one of them is then going to pull out and they're going to spread out then going to turn to the bottom because the weights on one end and as they fall through the sky this ribbons. and the spinning is what arms the trigger you have a copper concave cone inside of the base that will superheat and shoot out like a hot knife through butter it's going to go through the armor. and that's going to

end up killing whatever crew is in there. the secondary charge is going to then send out the shrapnel and that's what's going to cause death and injury to be a. problem is they're not made really well and a lot of them not explode. this is a weapon with an after the fact these weapons always leave unexploded guts at very high rates so it becomes like a landmine and what we find. if you can still find. another well was still just time of the first bunch everybody was tangled in her head and it was part of the bomb she threw it to the ground that she proved it can but who were thrown into the air who was playing no. time. maybe is a bit odd because you want to film it.

is that in effect on a but we came back to work to find cluster bombs everywhere in our fields. this bit and then mr bennett we had no choice but to work next to the bombs. kid and davis did i have a field in the area. and then when the pilot was looking for it's a cluster bomb exploded. then i lost a kidney and i'm the only in love. the scary thing about this for bombs is literally how they've managed to find their way into every aspect of life in southern lebanon. you know from the field to people's balconies that was backyards on top of people's cars on people's trees it really creates

this sort of. sense of insecurity. that you never know when the next one is going to. win and where's the coffee. in the morning over you're so so on your list right now that's unknown amount of the. i think here we must find the bomb to. get it in and they're going to be going can service around them but now we're seeing that everything that we see that was. who was very well and with fingers just.

to check. and a question. haven't a clue. truly is a dangerous job so it needs a lot of attention. someone is clumsy or doesn't pay attention sure he will lose an arm or leg or likely die. i

am. i am. i am something wrong. on what. i'm going to a lot of stories about young lebanese men who are injured in different companies but for myself i don't know anyone. thank you. so far. i am.

working i say. you see. in the morning. i told you. because. you're no. moments only to clash. when the clearance teams go where you basically roped off area and they create zones so that they can then figure out where the weapons are that need to be cleared and prioritize what's going to be taken out right this is that was the case is local it's one. we stop being swallowed up by the on the local market away.

and they literally move inch by inch very slowly very laborious sleep in the heat in an area that is filled with high explosive weapons and you are you could see the foam and over there although it's marked. so this isn't for move on for. and there are environmental things that occur over time from these weapons. you know it. got rain and the rain comes they start to sink into the earth. a lot of times you know they'll get kind of mixed in with it with garbage and trash the stuff moving about it isn't like. it's a nightmare because there's so much smoke all struck by the war by the people and you know the sick of the of the animals moving around that can move them and then

all the sudden see who uses every day through if you will can. you. go through. a lot though. the bad guys ali is on the edge so ask them to bring you a. boat. it's hidden under all of the small little going to the city of five nine nine we find that and. i think that. and then you've also got an issue with the trigger over time. that triggers such degrade with the environment and expect anymore that you can handle it safely. you know everything is ready that's what they have to do is they actually have to blow it up exactly where they said. and you really do have to blow

these off one at a time where they're sitting because that's how dangerous it's. a little bit of one thirty we will clear a cluster bomb so please keep the doors open and the kids inside the house god bless and see you as well in fact right now every day at one o'clock in the afternoon in south lebanon everyone knows that's when they blow up the questioner's . people of the area be ready for a cluster bomb demolition which will occur at one thirty. and yes.

thank you. thank you. thank. you. thank. you. thank you thank you thank you. if. you. could. study him. ok mommy i was fourteen years old when i started

working with tobacco and all that. people are surprised that it. was a girl's clearing cluster bomb. right. one point five this point. the mighty rock star but i love the challenge. and not just the salary one part of course i love to work outside. and i'm not afraid because i follow the rules. took me three months to trying to cluster bomb i thought i was doing something wrong i was how do i want to call my worst mom i wasn't great you know. i love this job it's like. you're almost. as natural.

and as of i'm sure lol i naive. in living in lebanon. that i studied here in lebanon and been working as a nurse for a few years. after the war there was another war the war of the cluster. we're still suffering from it is our love and then one of the model n.g.o.s came to levanon to help get rid of the cluster bombs . i started working for one of these n.g.o.s it's called down church state or dca much the b c a starlet i worked with them for seven or eight months as a medical team coordinator. but mother after i left dca a friend of mine who works at armor group which is one of the biggest clearance organizations. as i was on that up and then asked me to help them they needed first

a coordinator stop you know what do you love it when in no one i'll behave. the feel. pleasured home during the war i was here in south lebanon working as a medic in an ambulance it was a difficult period. and it was scary. and i was always nervous the planes were above me and i thought i would hear nothing but the sound of bombs i didn't see it's only heightened my fear. of mission free. education free. for charges free.
