4:38 pm
. seen as summer had passed and we have what are the groups like this mr mitchell from the star from. when. it was then that he stepped on one of their own the way he thought it was a battery or something. i noticed it and then told him to sort of take your foot off that is a cluster behold. he was surprised the days because we saw 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 and sort of feel to explode closer bombs on the road you have to be careful with them first of all. mines were
4:39 pm
a village the wind blew a bad 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 israelis up into may two thousand when the israelis was very clearly behind a huge legacy of the main ones and the united nations saw a need to resolve the problem will be three months and therefore to make it so we'll see a second two thousand and one you know its own structure on the nation by the lebanese army and you know the nation's. debt will cease for hundreds of thousands of people i'm running back we will see our record what it is recognised. and we're confronted with you know hundreds of thousands of unexploded possible. and there who say there were. fifteen
4:40 pm
carries with it else walking back in the fold it's. about how to push her over to the right after the war in aug fourteenth two thousand and six be the lebanese army started clearing the roads making the residential areas so people are going to turn to their homes that would be good now with a fortnight manage said think about quality assurance and we have working for us no i don't. there's a huge market right now for battle area clerics 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 have basically sprung up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is they go to these places they will hire local. they were thrown everywhere in front of your house and in the garden in the valley no place was left untouched not even most cars and churches
4:41 pm
were spared to entrain the locals how to get the clearance i was going to be. when i found the first and almost i felt as though i had saved the person. i'm most you know let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their home that is a little something no one in south lebanon their own home and they're putting themselves at risk every single day i think go out there to clear areas of what. times are difficult to smell i heard that some guys are applying to a company called dca that it's and it has sort of it this way and i thought it was a good opportunity from all sides i want to see first of all we couldn't go into our growth and the art 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
4:42 pm
would be better financially i think. with their news i'll shoot it. that's how it's done. you see your fault. there it is. you know i don't have a house. on this and we shouldn't rush a while. because we've been in the very long three years of being 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 on once you have a house we can first move in and live.
4:43 pm
i swear to you and you didn't hit it i mean 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 still it's. nice where you didn't hit it when father's why doesn't that mean i got it yes i see that is here everywhere. i look for work several times and there is nothing else that i should we found this company they needed employees so we applied. here we see. the numbers we decided to work at the close of the enclave are the hunter from of almost a little kids that mr that will keep on working. on will make money and get a house. to go with. let's keep them separate so away from
4:44 pm
this theme. we did well today with the birds. now we'll have a rock with the birds it'll be great you know and given what we. know how. to be. on the ground on the tarmac it's not big on these. places. that just missed
4:45 pm
the first turn to call up or close to. that's it that's the presentation but if anyone's around they can still get. twenty meters around everybody gets interested . in one. place how it was heavily heavily hit you can see the. same same thing if you go behind the house. so here you can see just from the roof. because both through the roof. today the cedar. falls. on this cluster he. has been one and so for. very sharp small fragments. which company it's a it's one centimeter concrete so you can emotion if they come through the human body but he did it so that.
4:46 pm
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 the 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 into the bottom because the weights on one end and as they fall through the sky this ribbon is spin and the spinning is what arms the trigger you have a copper or 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 people. problem is they're not made really well and a lot of them do not explode. this is
4:47 pm
a weapon with an after effect these weapons always leave unexploded guards at very high rates so it becomes like a landmine and what we find. if you can sell time. well we're still this time of the first bunch the most time building her hands it was part of the bomb she threw it to the ground that she truly can but who were thrown into the air who was playing no. time. i visited because you want to film this. is the fifth of may but we came back to work to find cluster bombs everywhere in our fields. these bits and then mr bennett had no choice but to
4:48 pm
work next to the bombs. kid and i had a field in the area. and that when the pilot was looking for it's a cluster bomb exploded. in iraq i lost a kidney. the scary thing about hossa bombs is literally how they've managed to find their way into every aspect of life and subtle. 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 detonate.
4:49 pm
when there's a coffee. morning everybody you're so so on your list right now and that's the moment now the cause of the. i think here we must find a bomb to. get in here and we're going to insert face around them but every signal everywhere we see that sort of stuff. who was very well and the thing is just to check. and efficient. and i think you know.
4:50 pm
the. truly is a dangerous job so it needs a lot of attention. someone is clumsy or doesn't pay attention for sure he will lose an arm or leg or likely die. in. the wrong. or far. this month. a lot of stories about young lebanese
4:51 pm
males who are injured in different companies. for myself i don't know anyone. else or. i am. only. work i say. for that isn't in the morning. i told you. because. you're now.
4:52 pm
woman so much ok i shall. program sir. when the clearance teams go in field 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 then prioritize what's going to take an hour break this is this it was a case is to kill it's yeah we stopped playing stall got back on the come on you. i mean literally move inch by inch very slowly very laborious leave in the heat in an area that is filled with high explosive weapons you know if you could see the ball moved over there i know it's marked. so this is a world war. and there are environmental things that occur over time from these
4:53 pm
weapons. with my. 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 with garbage and trash is the stuff moving about these and i mean. it's a it's a nightmare because there's so much smoke all scrap by the war by the people who never took over the. animals moving around that can move them and then all the sudden same who uses every day through if you will choose to do you. juggle. a lot no. go bad guys alley is on the edge so ask them to bring you they. go boom.
4:54 pm
it's hidden under all of these little going to valuable cereal for five nine nine we find for the ample people want to. move. i think about that. and then you've also got an issue with the trigger over time. that trigger such degrade with the environment can expect any more than you can handle safely. you know everything is and i think that's what they have to do is they actually have to blow it up exactly where they say. and you really do have to blow these up one at a time where they're sitting because that's how dangerous it is. i look over the next one thirty we will clear a cluster bomb so please keep the doors open and the kids inside the house god bless you and to you as well in fact right now every day at me one o'clock in the
4:55 pm
