so there's nobody but us. that will push you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life. they say once a power weighs a pound and many of the conscripts like mine. that's all. you see you're one of us now. dress right. dress right there attention. and come back. on my count by division. one. three. for my new regiment another receive heavily focused on combat training and

every day we're out on the square learning or on fighting drills at the moment we work individually 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 of the lot 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 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 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. with a good machine gun a 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 you. life depends on following the safety procedures of those who moved to the land you have to come back safe and sound 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 that 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 but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights stop. 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 goat. 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 or 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 for. training apart from that some drills like marching drills jumping isn't easy either. for the army have you decided what you want to do yet no 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. really special. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get.

we've been building up to. them most of the time with shadow boxing and maneuvers. with a straight and you. understand. attention. right . good ones we it's fun to pick up. and start scrapping. because eventually you're going to have to put on the gloves and the head gear and the hell out of each other. i've got. to. defend defend.

just missed i lost a karate about twenty years ago and 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 a hellish. jumping i was sailing 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. the ways are gone. faster or leaping down canyons you want your friends by clear of any oncoming enemy

. at this paratroopers 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 as you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. does the divisions work in coordination do.

you think. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit the power tripping needs to be i 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 hold you see use your fingers like wet push closer to the rock feel it lie on. your right leg there. stand up and straighten it out you know the council come on 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 and if one of you fails it means all of you fail. right use your head you have to think right now is the time when you think hire fire. go there e.r. . keep going like an excellent. that's it was. great. brownlow 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 all the stuff i did well done. it's done a good job joyously. but you've got a satisfactory result i'm pleased with here the task is complete you've done well i've got nothing to say excellent well. give me five you want to be up as you come or chip is vital in the army we try to build a good team spirit make a friendly atmosphere i help you today tomorrow you help me and if you couldn't get through the fence today and you got stuck i helped tomorrow i could fail to when god forbid injured myself and you'll help me that's what's important to me army friendship and a close knit team in situations like this real team spirit reveals itself you can

see straight away who's your friend who's not. really prepare you for an actual. truth to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok and i grab again you know hit the girl in. the best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. began. james they were right. and

raise your hands nobody knows a good book but nobody. knew and no really know. the recent history knows quite a few examples when humanitarian concerns were used as a follow on that's a posho political action when you hold a military intervention country a humanitarian intervention you participate in the discreet he takes the danger. and the impartial you can make some. 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 upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spray in vietnam 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.

with the economic ups and downs in the final months they belong to the old sang i and the rest the life of me making it will be every week me. you. know i want james. faster. people. but. not so look at 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 in the paratroopers though is persistence if you get knocked down you go to get back up again. everybody oh i don't know what. you. just said well done. that was a good lesson while you're ok. moto feel a bit sick of course. of course time to hand 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 the tanks and the story sleep temperamental and maintaining them is a full time job. on the child 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 and her cell phone was

off. anyway she's not the only one. apparently the army gives you women trouble. don't forget it's not too long to learn 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 be put up. i'm spending a lot of time with my tank persued 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 a tank of. courage and resolve. brace yourself ready ready. to 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. 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 with. 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. there's but the unit is capable of performing any time because of this training. the enemy's been identified 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 a. understood team. get into position private brown smoke will signal the attack you take the left flank i'll take the right. i just get used to having the tanks on my side now we have to learn how to ambush one.

of them. taking the ridge across the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't 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 messed

hints. 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. initially we didn't understand each other at all of course because we were all from different cultures with different 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 we 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 them just stamp it a bit more here so that it won't rip. out light out out lights. tomorrow i get

a chance of redemption. all the training. all the pain i'm about to find 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 a disaster i couldn't go through with it. i was only forty metres i'm about to try. 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 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 front of me i'm behind if i don't go no one else can snow melts. the equipment checks 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 there's me who's never done it before. i'm 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. i hope they're right. the moment you realize your shoes actually open must be the great speed in the world. blissful relief. 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 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. to position for the initiation into position for the initiation. 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. way of life and no task is impossible we can make it all happen. doesn't matter what kind of situation it is. we have to be there first and fulfill the task to make our government proud of us and this is our motto for life is how we live. look. right. take care was. so great my hand. i can see why everyone says they're different men after 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.

i think united states is in discussion with. the security agreement which would. allow for a significant number of troops damed in six to seven bases that are being prepared for to use in two thousand and fourteen they would have a very of. operation mandate but they would still be there for all purposes of training and perhaps to some kind of. security force who.

struggle with hunger. if someone offers a lifetime food supply no charge. there is no. evidence any problem with. this golden rice. mission.

couldn't take three. three. months three. three stooges. video for your media project a free media dog r.t.e. dot com. right on the street. first street. and i think that you're. on a reporter's twitter. and instagram. to be in the know.

i cannot speak for my son and really the legal issues father i'm shipley thankful that my son is safe and free. the father of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden a rise of moscow's sheremetyevo airport where his son spend five weeks in transit limbo before receiving asylum. just minutes after landing i asked mr snowden what's the plan for his first ever visit to russia find out what he said in just a few moments. beyond an hour off a developing story maybe as prime minister has reportedly been kidnapped by armed men in tripoli and. it is the horror of the biggest terrorist in the world. never drove the.
