is it to new york rouhani publicly declared that their goal is to annihilate israel . the russian paratroop regiment is nobody. will push you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life. they say once upon. a many of the conscripts like. that's all. you want to. 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 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 or the one i think that the paratroopers of the greatest. just like him to look 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 see god for the control point 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. 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 a 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 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 the boiling hot tank there's barely room to breathe let alone move. and then just like that you're out running.

all six months scored spread out and headed to a 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. 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. downhill it's a nightmare just staying on your feet. in the tank and 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. but 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. well if 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. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up to. the most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and the basic maneuvers. with a straight and you. understand. the tension. continue with all 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 headgear and try not 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 it fast. in the mean time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments toughest challenges. the whole thing is a hellish test. jumping. and shooting with no chance of a break. move. 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 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 a ship but each soldier polish has 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 climbing wall and i 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 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 hold come on. discuss. it's too hard. 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 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 like a mouse a time when you think hire fire. go there e r. keep going back an excellent. 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. 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 who. give me five you want me up as a comer 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 the 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 fight. true to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok and i grab again you know hit the growing. best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. begin.

james miley right. nobody nobody . you would know really. i'm talking obviously about edward snowden and you know that some americans believe he's a hero they believe he's a criminal what do i believe you say hero i believe he's coming directly from his heart that he feels some goodness that he wants to be truthful to the american people that he believes in and loves his country america so strongly and i wish that somebody five in the same situation i hope that i have the courage to do the same thing.

right on the scene. first for you and i think pictures. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. would be in the know. actually nothing very good has happened in afghanistan the last twelve years and that's something western media and political leaders don't like to talk about anymore well there's really no actual practicing democracy to speak of in afghanistan what you have is a kleptocratic corrupt. state but we should reframe the question so i was only just stays there will be violence that will be chaos because as an occupying power it again you know the u.s.

wants to keep a footprint there but the longer its footprint is there the more well with lin had to say the violence will continue because of occupation you know just the fact that the afghan government has not yet been able to convince the afghan people that it provides a better alternative. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand one hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea space. a limp a torch relay. on r t r t dot com. james

. foster. the. 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. with a body well 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. because 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. nobody 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. and a 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 then 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 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 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 of you. 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 the lower you'll be ready. to 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 shore up the bus and they'll do everything well. the unit is capable of performing any time because of his training. the enemy's been identified group is going to lie. 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 smoke 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 the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't taught 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 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 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 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. 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 a disaster i couldn't go through with it it. 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 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 checked one last time and we're ready to fly. everyone's handling it in a different way. there are guys here who have jumped three or four times and there's me who's never done it before. i'm trying to think about anything rather than 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.

the moment you realize your shoes 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

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. nobody but us that's. way of life and no task is impossible we can make it all happen. we 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 almost a full life that's how we live. look. right don't forget to take a. break my hand. i can see why everyone says they're different 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. may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional.
