it's called. development of landmine detection equipment that's what isaac is these are mine sniffing rat. rats are everywhere they are sociable circumstances. with humanity. they are actually traditionally. garbage. mined sniffing rats are put to work in former hot spots where learned mines are among the most deadly remnants of conflict they're often found years after the war has ended 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. when i was a close up field and 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 the deep underground it worked with. the key is to train the a 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 and not just for the rat. these are regular rats that's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks food just like hamsters so this particular animal is on the cusp between being a rat. perhaps the. why they're just

a little bit cute. 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. 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 schooling starts with a kindergarten. although it is a camera he helps little rats to feel comfortable around people.

to see the defeat. to be. the norm we teach the. truth. that's not. interacting with the care or is a vital part of the learning process it's important for isaac's socialization mine sniffing rats mustn't run away from all the 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. their favorite local street food.

started at school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that means food . is used to reinforce the learned response where as i can count as an empty container there's no so. this one does contain t.n.t. and the cleric tells him that he can claim i treat. well in general but. they really let her do her thing they don't get involved or train in her in any way but there are the rats has a different behavior just before they find. they have certain behavior some of them like 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. so the handler knows that she's found some think it just has. indicated where it is . a rat 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

a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't have. the teeth. but i enjoy a sense of freedom. looks as though isaac's trying to set a nice try. 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 them

they know. if to your work you can do very we want. to three war. profit off. very very very bored he learned most you have to report. don't permit they don't understand this so i remember very well the words. and that's what we are doing. for about a week these students are only fed the foods that they've given the streets during training mostly a staple diet of but none of that nutz. for. during the weekends a little giants are given a veritable feast prepares a mixture of peanuts and dried fish this. is great for their bones do you think.

you do want. them to it's no feast without dessert. he says. he. sees your food. in the wild giant rats live in small live in their own burrows and tend not to share food with neighbors. 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 i can start his field training. they sleep by day but have active night lives.

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 is not alone by the sound of the engine. i mean more do can is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for you to be to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was. going to the most

contentious critics say he is the first time i noticed something wasn't right. pretty much when he first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell if. it's. a wing it wasn't what i wanted to do. in this county then some states have. begun featuring. just. you know we should stop and then you should stay on the left and stuff i believe what i'm doing ok you know it's your funeral. critic. of the united states. into russia. political.

men they know. what's good for market is not good for the global economy. seemed wrong. to me. these days. and it again equals betrayal. when. the part. of the common ground.

young elephants have come to us after. less basically brutal budging incidence because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not only be killed but also be cut up and voted. i do believe the elephant smile i see it in his little ones the home facial expression changes the. game. my conclusion use. the meat to train to drink it. again. and i learned get beyond the one. reason train come quick.

so it's not the white man who is telling them. the blank so to do is material enough for the old to be used to dream the young. isaac remains calm while using for his class to start. the trust between trainer and ranch run steve. he lets isaac out of the cage. without even bothering to follow.

it. they have to concentrate them on to be a viewer of that day they have to. do and make an interpretation of for the writ is doing. would you come to d.c. when you were telling your boss. isaac is now demonstrating model behavior by not until. he sniffs diligently 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 sent.

me thinks he senses something but needs to reset his smelling operators to be sure . this is the spot. no train can send his signal. it's like watching two old friends getting together. at first but for him or for me. i mean she was not running she was walking. she sniffed every room. she. liked of

course to steve to t.n.t. because of. his asserted that 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 rat 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 and now it's time for the real world to

begin. traveling to see 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 very seriously hampering any further growth and tourism is a 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 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 apply 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 the most delicate spots. we didn't see them doing this in africa because the training center is high in the mountains in the town of moore to go to. 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 . for sun might come out once the team stops working.

this is no drill. team domes protective vests and helmets. no one knows exactly health protection they get would offer. they're off to work. he's not a hundred like. you from the top and the next question is not bad but these are. international how do you. know. if something exploded. and then you're being discovered. if something explodes means at least. an office rather than having nothing. just as we make our way to the minefield it rains again. if we drain and then. taking

a minis is going on is not easy for them. that's why when drains a lot then we don't want. it doesn't look as though we'll get to see ice a connection or range getting heavier. c . c feet are. pretty good. very good. there. are. one more try. it's not clear if the rain will get in the way again or not.

the mind of taken 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 experts approaches. he has friends something.

he seems to be really quite relaxed so perhaps it's not a mine off to rule. is the mine. it's not mine it's. made in china. i thought. it. will find.

cleared areas highlighted in yellow. the disposal team has a might be. everyone gets a banana. and 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 this strength for their future endeavors. 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.

this story of a land mine and. that's all there is to it.

breaks it killed. my heart there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a local my dad he was like of us i think so you know our god like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers and african-american community service and slavery. i think it's more of a issue these teenagers having kids in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him to be a farther and he's a check out. we actually lost our place in october my car end up breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car

insurance. the gas in my car. when i was truths seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. me to get to shape out disdaining to come out to kate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going 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 a certain branches officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government and in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort or uneasiness for. a spring struggles with the number of migrants arriving by feet smuggling gangs or crack cashing in on the refugee crisis investigative journalist shares with us a rare interview with one of the human traffickers involved. over the course one hundred to thirty to fifty per cent of. your worst habit of the phone. and what's being touted as a key milestone in russo german relations were saving the owner is opening

a plant near moscow. and an industrial port town in the thread.
