visually but it won't be too long before we're facing off against each other. it's the elite. station a real man has to be ahead of everyone to be the best or the one i think that the paratroopers of the greatest. just like him to learn everyone is assigned various responsibilities each day i'm back on god to see although this time i'm at the front of the base rather than in the barracks. was to get you to 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 us we've looked into every nook and cranny but they're allowed on the base. i'm not sure whether it's the benefit of experience but everyone seems
2:30 pm
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. sometimes i get tired of 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 armor support. 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 everyone mind your distance look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so you

. life depends on following the safety procedures. and you have to come back safe and sound it's up any questions no sir. i was crouched in the bottom of a boiling hot tank there's barely room to breathe let alone move. and then just like you're out running. into position. all six months called spread out and headed to our places. we were moving in a race of knots run crouch and fall for you go to make sure the right
2:32 pm
person is in your sights. move. these i mean right in front of you and you got too close to each other to 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. training
2:33 pm
apart from some drills like marching drills jumping isn't easy either. for the army have you decided what you want to do you know 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. i'm good how are you going nuff special. i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up to a day of full sparring and most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and the
2:34 pm
basic maneuvers. with a straight. attention to get ready so. continue with your right. to pick. and scrapping. because eventually you're going to have to pull on the gloves and the headgear and try not the hell out of each other. to slow. defend defend. just missed a loss to see about twenty years ago i'm going to have to remember. in the mean
2:35 pm
time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments toughest challenges. the whole thing is a hellish. 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 any oncoming enemy. at this paratroopers
2:36 pm
obstacle course must be crossed by a division as a whole it means that the success of the filling tasks doesn't depend on a single soldier but on cooperation between soldiers of this division. cover a char. with each soldier polish as 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. if the kids. move. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit the
2:37 pm
paratrooper needs to be go to the club you will have nothing left to give. you a look you're grabbing at wrong. take it like that there's a hole if you see your fingers like wet push closer to the rock feel it lie on. your right leg there. stand up and straighten it and you know the council come on come on try harder to the end. the blue holds come on. discuss. it's too hot. i can 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
2:38 pm
you let the whole group down his life and his life depend on you you must cooperate and if one of you fails it means all of you fail. right use your head you have to think right now is a time when you think higher higher. go there e r. keep going ok solent. that's it was. great. grab a load to come on. but is one for a little for one here there's always someone there to help you get through. come on there's not much left. to come on come on do it yourself. come on well done stuff i did well done. let's just go joyously.

2:40 pm
really prepare you for an actual fight. true to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok no grabbing him no hits the girl in. the best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. begin. james miley right. and raise your hands pretty. well pretty. you would know really know her.
2:41 pm
language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm likely to put the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point a month or so to secure a car is on the docket. thanks joe no more weasel words. when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you have to punch be ready for a battle pretty well off speech and a little down to freedom to cost. the interview. feel good.
2:42 pm
activism politics and a cold place and a whole lot of media publicity what is greenpeace all about today is it is smug and self promoting or a brave environmentalist opinions vary and at the very center of the debate surrounding organizations such as greenpeace is the question whether they have the right to operate outside the law. now on james. foster. the. people.
2:43 pm
but. not so look at the soldier who has never fought 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 in the paratroopers those specific students if you get knocked down you go to get back up again i was high i was. going to. dive into body oh i do. you. there you go. this is well done.
2:44 pm
that was a good lesson while you're ok. moto feel a bit sick of course. because 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 salt is 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 and their stories sleep some pretty mental and maintaining them is a full time job. on
2:45 pm
the chat first we all have girlfriends we call them and feel happy and 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 moan 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 new ones to 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 a warrior or not. james now we're going to drive
2:46 pm
2:47 pm
congratulations your training has been a success. there were you done it. and the more you train your soldiers the more you learn about that was can you see what they can do and how they can do it you become confident in and of yourself as well. if anything were to happen you'll shore up the bus and do everything well the unit is capable of performing any task because of his 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 captain's offices. one chapter of the group. on this side so there's a clear yes. understood team. get
2:48 pm
2:49 pm
they haven't cool to 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 meskins. 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 approaches to life and at first there were conflicts but in two or three weeks we got used to each other and became friends. never things been fine since you learned
2:50 pm
to get on with people who are that'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. tides out light 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. 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
2:51 pm
a disaster i couldn't go through with it. i was only forty metres i'm about to try a. jumping from an illusion is worse than from an answer off the answer now if it's like jumping off a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but here a strong gust catches you going to just amazing if you think you're ready. for let's see. hope so. 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 front of me i'm behind if i don't go no one else can it's not an option. the equipment checked one last time and we're ready to fly. everyone's handling it
2:52 pm
in a different way. there are guys here who jump three or four times and this has never done it before. 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. guy say it's better when you can see the ground. hope the right.
2:53 pm
the moment you realize you're actually open must be the greatest feeling 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 i actually made it for that brief moment i felt like a power trip. well
2:54 pm

right often don't forget to 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. as a celebrity it was terrible they come up very hard to make a plan to get along here a plug that never had sex with the target their lives let's

for the suspense 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. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant on b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's
