best you know i think that the paratroopers of the greatest. just like him to love everyone is assigned various responsibilities each day i'm back and gone to see although this time i'm at the front of the base rather than in the barracks. was because you god for the control points reason for your visit returning to base your documents. security is paramount every vehicle that drives up has to be thoroughly checked even our own trucks nobody takes any chances here it's only also we've looked into every nook and cranny that they're allowed on the base. i'm not sure whether it's the benefit of experience but everyone seems more confident here and it's a good thing because a live fire exercises are about to be ramped up it's a tough job for the man in charge. and sometimes i get tired of
5:30 am
ordering people it happens from time to time the guys don't obey me but i was given the task of commanding the company and i have to do it well so in any case i'll remember this time with a smile it was tough sometimes but everything will be fine i'm sure we'll do our military duty. today the war games really got started we were assaulting the hill with full support. with a good machine gun it goes first second is private brown private brown after him the squad leader your next and you bring up the rear beside the vehicle but everyone mind your distance to look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so your life depends on following the safety procedures. and you have to come back safe and sound. any questions no sir.
5:31 am
i was crouched in the bottom of the boiling hot tank there's barely room to breathe let alone move. and then just like that you're out running. into position on. all six months called spread out and headed to all places. oh we're moving in a race of knots run crouch and fought but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights. move. these i mean right in front of you and you've got to close to each other joe to
5:32 am
shoot when you're behind someone number one go. heading downhill it's a nightmare just staying on your feet. when the tank in the grenade launcher open up alongside you it does tend to push you forward. by the time we hit the boat some my legs were in agony so i tumbled into my foxhole i don't think i could have taken another step. we get around each day to ourselves and at least there's a t.v. room where we can chill out most of the time i just use it to recover to write to you of course but there's always someone new to chat with. stupid what was the hardest moment for you is this here in the army. probably all the physical training apart from some drills like marching drills. jumping isn't easy either.
5:33 am
so the only have you decided what you want to do yet not i'm studying at university and want to find a good job and be the best in my field of logistics if possible i'd like to stay in the army as a contractor because they pay well now and allow you to do external studies. life in the dormitory is like being in a five star hotel you sleep so much better when you only have to deal with two other people snoring. and good are you going up special. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up to. most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and maneuvers. with a straight. attention to get ready so. it's
5:34 am
time to pick up. and start scrapping. because eventually you're going to have to put on the gloves and the headgear and try not the hell out of each other. i've got. to. defend defend. just missed i lost a girl see about twenty years ago i'm going to have to remember. in the mean time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments toughest challenges. the whole thing is
5:35 am
a hellish test. jumping. and shooting with no chance of a break. and come. the idea is to train you to overcome extreme conditions whether you're walking along ledges. james move. or the ways are gone. faster than leaping down canyons you want your friends back in clear out anyone coming in to me. at this paratroopers obstacle course must be crossed by a division as a whole it means tasks doesn't depend on a single soldier but on cooperation between soldiers of this division.
5:36 am
cover a char. with a ship but each soldier opposes the skills he had acquired before coming here from their own units so we improve what they had already learned before. you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. the divisions work in coordination. you. move. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit a paratrooper needs to be i go to the club and i have nothing left to give.
5:37 am
a look you're grabbing at wrong. take it like that there's a hole if you see your fingers like that push closer to the rock feel it lie on. your right leg there. stand up and straighten it and you know the council c'mon come on try harder to the end. the blue hold come on. discuss. it's too hot. i can't have no more strength so. more almost a goal of course ends here with this climbing wall if you fail to do your task here you let the whole group down his life and his life depend on you you must cooperate if one of you fails it means all of you fail. right use your head you have to think
5:38 am
like a mouse the time when you think hire fire. go there e r. keep going ok. that's it was. a great. ground loop to come on. but is one for a little for one here there's always someone there to help you get through. there's not much left. to come on come on do it yourself. come on well done stuff i did well done. but it's just. joy isnt it.
5:39 am

to. people. so that give a soldier who has never faults never met his enemy face to face or never felt the strength of his enemy is not ready psychologically or physically to fight but that is why the most important and the only possible way to overcome those fears is to practice and to spark. one thing you do. if you get in. you go to get back up again. everybody oh i don't know what.
5:45 am
you. there you go. this is well done. that was a good lesson while you're ok. moto feel a bit sick of course. of course time to combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that close. in on time drills where patrolling the hills almost every day. bloody on soldiers a double edged sword you spread the intense heat from inside but you have to hang on for dear life you managed to inhale some air among the clouds of dust but tanks
5:46 am
and their touristy temperamental and maintaining them is a full time job. on the chart first we all have girlfriends we call them and feel happy that each then in three or four sometimes even five months it's like what's wrong with i've broken up with my girlfriend why she cheated on me how do you know my friends told me it happened to me too everything seemed to be fine and i colts on her cell phone was off. anyway she's not the only one. apparently gives you women trouble. don't forget it's not too long to long coming home. we've been moved into a field camp so sadly my days of comfortable living are over there are about thirty of a searing a tent and most of our chores involved digging out the ground for the new ones to
5:47 am
be put up. i'm spending a lot of time with my tank pursued apparently they've got something special in store for me i'm not sure whether to be worried or not. james now we're going to drive a tank over you. your courage and resolve. brace yourself ready ready. get into position here. head forward and tuck your gun and. lead in the right direction of the tank. keep your elbows close the closer you keep them below you'll be ready. let's go.
5:48 am
congratulations you're training has been a success. there were you done it. and the more you train your soldiers the more you learn about that was you will see what they can do and how they can do it you become confident in them and in yourself as well. if anything were to happen you'll sure do everything well just this but the unit is capable of performing any time because of this training. let us know the enemy has been identified most of the group is going to lie in ambush with the objective of capturing one of the captains offices or sergeants one chapter of the group. on this side so there's
5:49 am
5:50 am
of the i want some. of the rage across the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't told us interrogation techniques yet i think that must be an advanced course. one of the regular favorites here is but we eat with a chunk of can beef. but it's calories and we all empty all mess tents. despite the fact that we're living in a muddy fields we still have to keep ourselves clean and tidy and there are a few tricks of been able to pick up. ok how do you feel all together which i mean at the beginning was that you know initially we didn't understand each other at all of course because we were all from different cultures with different
5:51 am
approaches to life but first there were conflicts but in two or three weeks we got used to each other and became friends. everything's been fine since you learned to get on with people who are it's essential here. like your tunic is almost ready we only have to dry it when it's dry it'll look fine with just stamp it a bit more here so that it won't rip. out lights out out lights. tomorrow i get a chance of redemption. all the training. all the pain i'm about to find out if it's been worth it. one thing's for sure it's going to be terrifying.
5:52 am
a couple of weeks ago if you told me i'd be sitting on the tarmac waiting to jump out of an airplane loft. my last training session on the practice tower was a disaster i couldn't go through with it it. was only forty metres i'm about to try it on. jumping from an illusion is worse than from an ensign off some of us where the answer now fits like jumping off a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but if a strong gust catches you going to just amazing footage if you think you're ready. for let's see. we're waiting for what seems like hours eventually we get the all clear good weather's too on the horizon perfect jumping conditions. there's no backing out this time. i'm going to have people in
5:53 am
front of me i'm behind if i don't go no one else can snow melts. the equipment checked one last time and we're ready to fly. everyone's handling it in a different way. there are guys here who jump three or four times and this has never done it before. on trying to think about anything roll them what's about to happen as the plane takes off. i hope i'm in for a soft landing. first the tank goes out the back and then it's off. this is what makes the bit of a unique. the guys say it's better when you can see the ground. hope the right.
5:54 am
the moment you realize your shoes are actually open must be the great speeling in the world. blissful relief. and with the wind direction. it's easy to lose your concentration but you still have to think about landing the wrong position could mean a broken leg or worse. take the harness off. and actually made it for that brief moment i felt like
5:55 am
a power trip. well probably brown now your more than just a parachute jump so if you're a real paratrooper thank you very much congratulations now into position for the initiation into position for the initiation. and let's do it. two three. four hundred one five hundred two five hundred three pool five hundred four father and five can't be. nobody but us that. way of life and no task is impossible we can make it all happen. doesn't matter what kind of situation it is.
5:56 am
we have to be there first and fulfill the task to make our government proud of us and this is our motto for life that's how we live. look. right off. take a. break my hand. i can see why everyone says they're different men off to the army it's some sacrifice these young soldiers have to make for me it was exhilarating agonizing heartbreaking and amazing but i won't lie i'm relieved i'm coming home. millions around the globe struggle with hunger each day. what if someone
5:57 am
offers a lifetime food supply no charge. they carry said they can the very strong position against g.m.o. and we think that. the genetic anymore the fight products are pretty cool tool there is no. evidence that there is any problem with genetic engineering when you make a deal. or is free cheese always in the most crap i don't believe in that i destroyed all four and the free. enterprise money market is profit at the minute. for social justice golden rice barkeep. my comrade soldiers you're in the military now no more joking any more. never
5:58 am
been some time in my life. every day with the story up speed limits. do you think it's going to be easy to fire. but everyone's desperate. just best to. college. honestly i don't know if i'm going to make it to the end the can still pull me some i'm just a book on the left i don't know what to do. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and. it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p.
5:59 am
is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's a step forward. corrects it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying and. it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this bills. which. we can't without if. someone. chooses to use the consensus he could. choose to get. to. choose the stories that impact the. choose be. off.
6:00 am
this hour on our team president obama says no one talks with the republicans until they agree to raise the debt ceiling and reopen the federal government with just over a week left until a possible to fold. and expect the law and saudi arabia reportedly coordinating their policies in the region now this despite the two countries having no official diplomatic relations. and. liberty because it's certainly watching you. camouflaged as birds of prey join the vast array of surveillance gadgets on the market.
