the. into the office on top of this isn't a little so long a lot. so let's talk while wolf. take it.

from. the phone thank you both the sun for this is in can go through so long over. the motion completed over. thanks.

and my name is gemma far from the village about religion. and we have orange groves. ok minerals been our job since we were born and it.

bears my father my brother and hired help me and the. the day after the war was over i came back with my father juke i know what has he. seen as summer had passed and then we have what are the groups like this time of the show for this is our food. with. it was then that he stepped on one of the get out of the way it was a battery or something. i noticed it and then told him to sort of take your foot off that is a cluster bomb. it was surprised the days because the sore 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 the bombs on the road you have to be careful. with that first of all. one hundred village the wind blew a bit and a handful of them fell on the ground and we just started hearing explosions. make it so it's not i was set up as a result of the occupation of israelis up into may two thousand when the israelis was very they left behind a huge legacy all in ones and the united nations saw a need to resolve the probable became once and therefore to make you still see the second two thousand and one now its own structure combination by the mini's army and you know to nations. down the seas for

hundreds of thousands of people come flooding back into the sea record it what it is back to the ice. and we're confronted with you know hundreds of thousands of unexploded possible. thank you. i think carries with him alice walking back and he pulled his. daughter how to push her over to the right after the war in the oldest fourteenth two thousand and six be the lebanese army started clearing the road which sneaked into residential areas so people are going to turn to their homes the local would go to that was the fourth night manage it and conduct quality assurance. we had working for us no i think. 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 got these companies and n.g.o.s that have basically sprung up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what are you as 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 and churches were spared he didn't train the locals how to do the clearance i was going to be that. when i found the first bomb i felt as though i had saved the person. mostly because well let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their home that is it's 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 these lap. times are difficult. smith and i heard that some guys are applying to

a company called dca notice and it has sort of it this way i mean it was a good opportunity from all sides i want to see first of all we couldn't go into our growth and 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 i think someone. with their news i'll shoot it. that's how it's. easy or it falls out. there it is i'm on the mound i mean i don't have a house but we want to have one. we should have. one love because we've been in

a 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 the tree of a house we can furnish it move in and live. well 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 so it was. nice where you didn't hit it one further supply doesn't mean i got it yes i see that is here everywhere. because i'm one of the what i look for work several times and there is nothing else. we found this company they needed employees so we applied.

here we see. the numbers we decided to work at the company was on the computer the hunter from of almost a little kid. but mr to keep on working out not the law will make money i'm going to house. let's keep them separate away from these thieves. we did well today with a burst. now we'll have a rock with the birds it'll be great you know thank goodness but you. know how and . i think we are.

on the ground on the tarmac it's not big on this. place is possible. that it was just the first turn to call up or close to. exit that's what presentation but if anyone's around they can still get three hundred twenty meters around everybody gets interested. in. this house was heavily heavily hit you can see the president on the same same thing if you go behind it also. so here you can see it is from the roof. because going through the roof. today you can see the whole full. on disease koester he. has been one for.

very sharp small fragments. it's company it's a it's one centimeter concrete so you can imagine if they come through the human body they call what he did so it's. 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 on a canister opens over the target each one of them is then going to pull out and they're going to spread out there then going to turn to the bottom because the weights on one end and as they fall through the sky this ribbon it's spin and it's 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 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 do not explode. this is a weapon with an after effect these weapons always leave unexploded gods at very high rates so it becomes like a land mine and what we find. if you can still find. another well was still just time to first bunch and read the list go to that it was part of the bomb she threw it to the ground she threw the. can but were thrown into the air which was blue no. any time. i visit her because i want to film it.

isn't i feel an effect on me but we came back to work to find cluster bombs everywhere in our fields. bits and then mr bennett we had no choice but to work next to the bombs. kid and did this day and i had a field in the area. and then when the pilot was looking for it's a cluster bomb exploded. but i lost a kidney and i'm just really loved. 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. morning everybody you're so so on you know this is like you know listen i'm not a muslim but. i think here we must find the bomb to give it. to fit in here and. we're going to sort of face them but every signal everywhere we see that it was done. who was very well

and the thinkers just. to check. and efficient. have been a good though. truly is a dangerous job so it means a lot of attention. to someone who's clumsy or doesn't pay attention for sure he will lose an arm or leg or likely die. than.

i am something wrong. before. this month. i'm going to love stories about young lebanese men who are injured in different companies. for myself i don't know any one. bulb or.

worker safety. for that isn't in the morning. i told. be careful because. no. genome untold millions will show. when the clearance teams go and feel physically 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 be taken out great to see they stay with the cases so it's long yeah we still play installable got back on the market with.

a name literally move inch by inch very slowly and very laborious leap in the heat and 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. and there are environmental things that occur over time for these weapons. i'm learning with my. dark 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 it is a nightmare. it's a nightmare because there's so much smoke all screw up by the war by the people and you know the sick of it that animals moving around that can move them and then all

the sudden see who uses every day. you will be chiefs and so the two of you did. go through. a lot though. go bad guys ali is on the edge so ask him to bring you a. boat. it's hidden under all of the small little going to the city of life ninety nine we find her on the empathy floor. move. it up. and then you've also got an issue with the trigger overcome. that trigger such degrade with the environment and expect any more 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 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 see you as well in fact right now every day at one o'clock in the afternoon in south lebanon or everyone knows that's when they blow up a cluster there's. also. evil of the area be ready for a cluster bomb demolition which will occur at one thirty. eight eight. eight getting big.

but. if. you. can see what's wrong study him. ok normally i was thirteen years

old when i started working with tobacco and all it actually did work until june in d.c. and i think television people are surprised that i just worked as a group clearing cluster bombs you wrote we're going down this one. by this point and i want the best and i might get splat stronger but i love the job . and not just for the salary run powerful i love to work outside here and all my partner and i'm going to great as i because i love the route of. how it took me three most of my just lost her mom let her say i thought i was doing something wrong that was good about i was hurt and when i had almost months i wasn't afraid at all. i like this job that's all i care. almost. as.

an as of i'm sure lol i naive. in living in lebanon. that i studied here in lebanon 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 a desert island then one of them up and use came to leaven on to help get rid of the cluster bombs i had then when i started working for one of these n.g.o.s it's called damn church state or dca my p b c eight stuff and i worked with them for seven or eight months as a medical team coordinator. but after i left dca a friend of mine who works at armor group which is one of the biggest clearance organizations. and asked me to help them they needed first

a court major stuff know what do you. know my. present home during the war i was here in south lebanon working as a medic in an ambulance it was a difficult period. and felt that it was scary. and i was always nervous the planes were above me and i thought i would hear nothing but the sound of a ball. it's only heightened my fear. touches the so much of the taxpayers' money for me because it never will be. what do we mean we use the word west is it a place a state of mind or even

a specific time in history also. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. i'm.
