my point. is today. these are the images. from the streets of canada. the russian paratrooper regiment small so is nobody but us. will push you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life. they say once a power of the ways of. the many of the conscripts like i'm reminded.

that's all. you see you're one of us now. dress right. dress right. attention. and come back. on my count by division. one. three. four my new regiment. heavily focused on combat training and every day we're out on the square learning our own 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 or the one i think that the

paratroopers but the greatest. just like him to learn everyone is assigned various responsibilities each day i'm back 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 past 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 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 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 you. life depends on following the safety procedures. and you have to come back safe and sound up any questions no sir.

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. running. on. all six months called spread out and headed to our places. we were moving in a race of. crouch and fall but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights. he's i mean right in front of you and you've got too close to each other to shoot

when you're behind someone number one go. 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 are 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 as 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. ezekial training 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. and good are you going to special. and 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 invasive maneuvers.

with a straight. attention to get ready. along with. it's fun to pick up. 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 so. defend defend. just missed my last to 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 challenges.

the whole thing is a hellish. jumping. and shooting with no chance of a break. 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 to clear out 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. you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. does the divisions work in coordination. you think. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit a paratrooper needs to be i go to the club you will have nothing left to give.

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 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 have no more strength so. more almost a goal 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 bury our. keep going back an excellent walk that's it was. great. grab the load come on. that 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. well done. let's just go 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. in the really prepare you for an actual.

truth of the bigger the heart of the. headgear ok and i grab again you know here's to the girl in. the best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. already began. i wonder ok. james miley right. pretty. well pretty. knew of no really no. deliberate torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three

days. through two thousand nine hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by george and those people for sixty five thousand kilometers. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limpid torch relay. on r t r g dot com. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers

once told us my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem truck rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk a little bit. well to the. science technology innovation hall the least a mellow mince from around russia we've dumped a few jerks covered. no i want james. faster.

people. right. so let's get a soldier who has never thought 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 there is persistence if you get knocked down you go to get back up again i was. going to. die but a body well i don't i don't want. to go but stop. you. there you go.

this is well done. so that was a good lesson when you're ok. motoko a fairly basic of course. of course time to hand combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that place. in all time drills where patrolling the hills almost every day. nobody owns all there's a double edged sword you spread the intense heat from inside but you have to hang on for dear life. to inhale some air among the clouds of dust the tanks 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 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 then i called 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 someone 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 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 that brace yourself we've got 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 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. 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 shore up us and i'll do everything well the unit is capable of performing any time because of his training. let us know the enemy's been identified group is going to . with the objective of capturing one of the captains offices or sergeants one captain 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 on some of. the ridge 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 eat beef. but it's calories and we all empty our mess tins. 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 essential 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 he learned 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. off nights 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. 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 with the engine outfits like jumping off a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but here 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 is due 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 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. i hope they're right.

the moment you realize your shoes actually open must be the great spirit 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 a power trip. well

probably brown now your more than just a parachute jump so you're a real paratrooper thank you very much congratulations now into 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 that. 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 that's how we live. look.

right. take care of. them don't 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. wealthy british. life.

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to kaiser report. i think united states is in discussion with afghanistan photo by lack of security agreement which would. mandate and allow for a significant number of u.s. troops to review damed in six to seven bases that are being prepared for them to to use your own two thousand and fourteen they would do all this to have a very restricted. operation mandate but they would still be there for purposes of training and perhaps to some kind of got into and just through the security forces on this town itself.

soldiers you're in the military now no more joking any more. never been sort of my life. every day would be pushed up speed limits. do you think it's going to be easy. but everyone's. just gets to. say i don't know if i'm going to make it to the end. he still pulling some i'm just . teach me.

with you.
