but it will be a full nine months before he becomes a real pro bono he simply spends his time with his family. it's no coincidence the giant rats which to sniff mines in the wild they're extraordinary sense of smell that was them to search for food buried deep underground which would lead to the key is to train your parents 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 are regular rats there it's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks to steal food just like hamsters so this particular animal is on the cusp between being a rat. perhaps that's why they're just
6:31 am
a little bit cuter. i guess i should add to another really great benefit of our rats is that they're really curious which lab rats are curious as well but. they're very social in terms of they're really willing to work with people. 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 hopes a little raft to feel comfortable around people. since
6:32 am
you defeat into the engine your physical. is the. norm we t.t. it is no more. true. that's not. interacting with the care or is a vital part of the learning process it's important for isaac's socialization mind sniffing rats mustn't run away from bite 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. is our favorite local street food.
6:33 am
that has started school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that t.n.t. means food. sound is used to reinforce the learned response when i can count as an empty container there's no sound. this one does contain t.m.t. and the click tells him that he can no claim i treat. well in general but how. they really let her do her thing they don't get involved or try and influence her in any way but their ads into the rats as a different behavior just before they signs. they have certain behaviors and some of them like to clean themselves. they like to
6:34 am
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 they have. 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 something changed but that's also very hard for me to say because i really as
6:35 am
a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't happen. isaac and his sister at the gym they can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. but enjoy a sense of freedom. situ 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.
6:36 am
they know what they are doing they know what to expect from them they know. if two are working. very rewarding that they will have to three war. far from all of these. very very very bored he learned most you have to do board animals 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 mostly a staple diet. and nuts. during
6:37 am
the weekends a little given a veritable feet. to the nuts and dried fish this. is great for their bones. it's no feast. he says. he. says here. in the wild rats live in small underground colonies. quite independent within the colony. live in their own. food with neighbors.
6:38 am
females can choose their own mating partners but the colonies are not matter. they are ruled by a group that works a little like a parliament with both male and female members. it's a big day for isaac. is about to move on to high school. just like every graduate to be he gets his own personal transport. now. his field training. grandson nocturnal they sleep by day but have active night lives.
6:39 am
carers try to adjust to the rats biorhythms they set out at five thirty in the morning a field training session can start at six. bits for moments like this that isaac has been trained is not alone by the sound of the engine.
6:40 am
seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out of disdain because as a kid and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. you know world of big. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the
6:41 am
hawks. the most important moments are when the principals the foreign minister or the president actually ask your opinion when that happens you are on your own and young as the two you actually. have to say what you think. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in the spot the waist up wrongful conviction if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make them one comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i would. send
6:42 am
a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the gun crime. my conclusion he's. being made to train during this. again. and i like it the only one. with three hundred or. so it's not divide man who is telling them. the black you have to do this in this in this manner now we have the older teen years saudi
6:43 am
there is material enough for the old to be used to train the young. isaac remains calm while using for his class to start. the trust between trainer and rat run steve. 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 it into predation or for the
6:44 am
writ is doing. would you come to d.c. when you were telling. isaac is now demonstrating model behavior by now and thing rather. he sniffs diligently at the end. is in no hurry. 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 said. he thinks he senses something but needs to reset his smelling operators to be sure
6:45 am
. this is the spot. no all the trainer can send his signal. it's like watching two old friends getting together. at first but for him performing. i mean she was not earning she was walking. she sniffed every room. she. liked records. to steve to t.n.t. he didn't work. as
6:46 am
a surgeon she wasn't too. presence of t.n.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 red across a life 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.
6:47 am
traveling to see them rip in cambodia. this is home to one of the ancient aka textural wonders of the world. and call it a 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 various seriously hampering any further growth and tourism is a nothing of the danger to life. when
6:48 am
it comes to square miles of minefields cambodia is second only to afghanistan. the number of injuries caused by landmines 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 some screen 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.
6:49 am
ears and tails 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 . at this time of year it's much cooler there than here in cambodia. if we take a closer look at the probables it's raining but isaac still has some screen applied . the sun might come out once the team stops working. this is no drill. between dawn's protective vests and helmets.
6:50 am
no one knows exactly health protection they get would offer but fun though. they're off to work. he's not a hundred. but look at you from the top on the next question is not bad but these are. international. if something exploded. in the north being a scottish and down to something explored at least to a court that they don't want an office rather than having nothing. just as we make our way to the minefield it rains again. if we do rains and then. we think that there is no question other thinking is going on is not easy for them . that's why when the rains
6:51 am
a lot then we don't know what. it doesn't look as though we'll get to see isaac interaction range getting heavier. c. c feel. pretty good. through. our. one more trip. it's not clear if the rain will get in the way again or not.
6:52 am
the mind to take some team 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 expose approaches. he has from something.
6:53 am
he seems to be really quite relaxed so perhaps it's not a mine off to rule. this is mine that's not mine. i thought. my. mom didn't get. it. well finds a carefully looked on the. areas highlighted in yellow.
6:54 am
the disposal team has a light breakfast to work everyone gets a banana. they all seem to enjoy it. 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 and take a leaf out of the judge's book then i'd life is almost as exciting as the rats.
6:55 am
in. this story of a land mine and. that's all there is to it. pretty.
6:56 am
good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to cross the saliva before the three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the hollow shack. they sit. when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the room in clusters project themselves. in the frame a merry go round lifts only the one person.
6:57 am
to ignore middle of the room signals. the room dream real new real world. what is happening with trump's decision to leave syria and are you ready for the twenty twenty presidential sweepstakes also is there any integrity in the integrity an issue. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were. and after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defense office says we're got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the walls with them money those with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing
6:58 am
to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness for us. when i came back from iraq now oh mary was her was cocaine methamphetamine so anything that's altering trying to get us out of. that bad mindset using a chemical that would be self medicated. i want to be drinking and drinking ino noon just killing myself by drinking alcohol links don't drink to get drunk alcoholics drink to feel normal. that's why it's this way drug addicts do what they do shop while still feeling their. star cool under which these guys are going
6:59 am
through to it it just means to. need to be helped and good pushed on by the v.a.'s are as drugs go and stuff they need to be helped. and if they really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention .
7:00 am
