it's called. mind detection equipment that's what isaac is. that. they actually traditionally. mind. the most deadly remnants of conflict they're often found years after. and serious injury isn't the only problem. imagine how it must feel to live with the knowledge that there's a landmine lurking somewhere near your home. to help make the problem of landmines a thing of the past. but it will be

a full nine months before he becomes a real pro for now he simply spends his time with his family. it's no coincidence the giant rats were chosen to sniff mines in the wild they're extraordinary sense of smell them to search for food buried deep underground it works with. the key is to train your rats to associate the discovery of t.n.t. with food and that's not difficult because everyone knows how intelligent rats. the really hard part is making sure that the rat doesn't make any mistakes that could be fatal not just for the rat. these regular rats there it's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in the food just like hamsters says this particular animal is on the. between

being a rat in a house this perhaps that's why they're just a little bit cuter. i guess i should add to another really great benefit of our species of rats is that they're really curious which lab rats are curious as well but. there are various social in terms of they're really willing to work with people lab rats sometimes will develop that relationship with you but i don't think they develop it quite as readily. meanwhile isaac has grown he's now four weeks old i'm training can begin like all children isaac's schooling starts with the kindergarten. although it is a camera he helps a little raft to feel comfortable around people.

to see the difference. is the. norm we teach the. truth. interacting with the care there is a vital part of the learning process it's important for isaac's socialization mine sniffing rats mustn't run away from bites people. when he grows up eyes are cool way around a kilo and his body will reach thirty to forty centimeters in length just about as long as his tail. because they're so big grilled. her favorite low.

street food. started at school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that means food . is used to reinforce the learned response. counters an empty container there's no so. this one does contain t.n.t. and the clinic tells him that he can no claim or treat. well in general but. they really let her do her thing they don't get involved or train influenced her in any way but there at the rats there's a different behavior just before they find. they have certain behaviors some of them like to clean themselves they like to

groom themselves they're very clean. they don't like to get wet or maybe there's. some of them will walk around in circles some even stand up in the air. and so the handler knows that she's found some think is just has. indicated where. a rats remarkable sense of smell can detect the tiniest traces of t.n.t. they can sense the explosive even when it's fifteen to twenty centimeters on the ground their nose is over not so secret weapon imagine if humans had similar abilities ok if you were in a pitch black room and somebody entered the house from. i would say i think one kilometer away and it's pitch black and you

can't hear anything you might be able to detect that something changed but that's also very hard for me to say because i really as a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't have. isaac and his sister at the gym they can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. and enjoy a sense of freedom. said looks as though isaac's trying to set out on his first trip. nice troy. a brief chase. a few a breath so fresh. and he soon back in the fold.

they know what they are doing they know what to expect from. barry no doubt if to your work you can do very we want. to be war. powerful for. very very very bored he learned most you have to do board and don't they don't understand so i remember very well the words. and that's what we are doing. for about a. week these students are only fed the food given the streaks during training.

and. during the weekend little. feet. of peanuts and dried fish this. is great for their bones. you. know feast. he. says here.

in the wild. underground. quite independent within the. live in their own. food with neighbors. females can choose their own. works a little like a parliament with both male and female members. it's a big day for isaac. is about to move into high school. just like every graduate to be he gets his own personal transport. now. his field training.

joint grandson nocturnal they sleep by day but have active night lives. carers try to adjust to the rats biorhythms they set out at five thirty in the morning so a field training session can start at six. bits for moments like this that isaac has been trained he's not alone by the sound of the engine.

i've. never was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle for. the new socks for the. you that will be gossip and tabloid bias files of the most important news today. off the bat for

telling me you are not cool enough and such to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch league. that's good earth but it's a survival guide book stacie just like all the stars simply at least it. should be don't forget the past. oh heck no it's repatriations king look at the rest of seventy. philip the separate guys are worth . a. credit as one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took the whole gist i came to god and meant that the debts tike him and in the spiral not. many lives have been broken by excessive debt to the banks gushing to. big bank of.

the banks but just didn't think of the. last morning through the back. creditors people see no future bad face have become ill get into a job your relationship breaks down here become a casualty is death a life long trip or is there a way out of those actually going to bed or know would be right to ditch bill from so much suspicion from what. my conclusion is good meat to train to drink.

again. and now you'd like it beyond the are. written three come quick. so it's not divide man who is telling. the black you have to do this in this in this manner. we have the older teenagers there is material enough for deal three years to train the young. isaac remains calm while using for his class to start. the trust between trainer and rat runs deep. he lets isaac out of the

cage. without even bothering to follow. they have to concentrate them to be a viewer of their. they have to do to make an interpretation of for the writ is doing. would you do when you were telling. isaac is now demonstrating model behavior by not until. he sniffs at the end. this is the result of several months of training.

it looks as though isaac might offend some t.n.t. . he tries to rid his nose of all extraneous scent. he thinks he senses something but may just to reset his smelling operators to be sure. this is the spot. no. can send his signal. it's like watching two old friends getting together. at

first but for him good for me. i mean she was not running she was walking. she sniffed everywhere. she. liked records to steve to t.n.t. he. is a surgeon she wasn't too. t.m.t. . isaac seems to have passed with flying colors. and now it's time to evaluate his loyalty. no one wants to chase a runaway wretch across a minefield that would be deadly that's why it's important that the rats follow

their handlers voluntarily without a leash. isaac is displaying textbook behavior as this training is over. now it's time for the real world to begin. this is home to one of the ancient architectural wonders of the world. and

court of fact. millions of tourists travel here to take their best selfies tourism is one of cambodia's main sources of revenue. but there are still landmines left over from the civil war and they are seriously hampering any further growth and tourism to say nothing of the danger to life. when it comes to square miles of minefields cambodia is second only to afghanistan . the number of injuries caused by land mines is the highest in the world now though the situation is changing for the better in the popular tourist resorts mines can only be seen in museums but there are still many dangerous areas in the country.

isaac is here to help with mine clearance. new instructor applies sunscreen to his skin. because giant rats and nocturnal creatures their skin isn't accustomed to high levels of u.v. if they were left unprotected and run the risk of developing skin cancer. ears and tails of the most delicate spots. we didn't see them doing this in africa because the training center was high in the mountains in the town of moore ago. but this time of year it's much cooler than here in cambodia. if we take a closer look at the troubles it's raining but isaac still has some screen replied . the sun might come out once the team stops working.

this is no drill. between domes protective vests and helmets. no one knows exactly how much protection the game would offer but for now they're off to work. it's not a hundred. but the top in the next question is not bad but these are. international rules that we have to you. know. if something exploded. in the not being a scottish and down to something explored means at least to a point that they don't want in office rather than having nothing. just as we make our way to the mine field it rains again.

if we do rains and then. the thirty's where. water all. we think that there is no question of it taking i mean these is going on is not easy for that. in the dots to. that's why when the rains a lot then we don't know what. it doesn't look as though we'll. got to see isaac in action the rains getting heavier. see. sci fi. pretty good. very good. through. art.

one more try. it's not clear if the rain will get in the way again or not. the mind to take seventeen is out in the field after all. isaac is investigating the ground. nothing so far. suddenly he starts to wash his face. this means he's identified a suspicious scent. the disposal expert approaches.

he has spent something. he seems to be really quite relaxed so perhaps it's not a mine off to rule. is the mind. and the mind is. made in china. i thought.

my. mom didn't get. it. all finds a carefully. cleared areas highlighted in yellow. the disposal team has a light breakfast after work everyone gets a banana. and they all seem to enjoy it. all the way for this moment of triumph now it's time for a rest. real heroes glory true heroes need to rest to build up their strength for their

future endeavors. another round of cambodia's mine clearance campaign has come to an end the field engineers have a chance to relax. take a leaf out of the judges book their life is almost as exciting as the rats. thank you. this story of a land mine and.

that's all there is to it. it's. limbaugh got a lot of muscle and. islamic states claims it was behind the month just a terror attack by the north front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming i says so bad someone needs to do something against them for me was like yeah why don't. you. kill all those numbers. in. the case of the legality of. these channels hafiz only hope you sound
