born with a passion for travel. isaac's birthplace was a special training center in tanzania. it's called which stands for development of landmine detection equipment that's what isaac is. mine sniffing rat. rats are everywhere there are sociable circumstances. with humanity. they are actually

traditionally. garbage and they've been doing that. for always. mind sniffing rats are put to work in former hot spots where learned mines are among the most deadly remnants of armed conflict they're often found years after was 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. 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 that giant rats were chosen to sniff mines in the wild they're extraordinary sense of smell allows them to search for food buried deep underground it worked with land mines to the key is to train the abouts to associate the

discovery of t.n.t. with food and that's not difficult because everyone knows how intelligent rats are the really hard part is making sure that the rat doesn't make any mistakes. that could be fatal not just for the rat. it's these old regular rats there it's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks to stole food just like hamsters so this particular animal is on the cusp between being a rat. perhaps that's why they're just a little bit cute to. see. 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's schooling starts with the kindergarten. although it is a camera he helps a little rats to feel comfortable around people. to see the defeat into. the. norm we teach the. truth.

interacting with the care 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 our 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. started at school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that he means food. sound is used to reinforce the learned response as i can count as an empty container there's no sound. this one does contain t.n.t.

and the click tells him that he can claim a treat. well in general the handler. really let her do her thing they don't get involved or train influenced her in any way but there at the rats has a different behavior just before they find. they have certain behavior some of them like clean themselves elected 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 she's found some think it's just. 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 noses 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. isaac and his sister at the gym they can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. but enjoy a sense of freedom. looks

as though isaac's trying to set out on his 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 them they know. if two are working. very rewarding that they will have to see war. profit off. very very very bored he learned most you have to report. don't they don't

understand this so i remember very were the words. and that's what we are doing. for about a week these students are only fed the food supply given the streets during training. mostly a staple. and not. just. during the weekends a little given a veritable feet. of the nuts and dried fish this. is great for their bones these. bandits no feast.

you. see here. in the wild rats live in small underground colonies. quite independent within the colony. live in their own boroughs and 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. his field training. giant power grabs on nocturnal they sleep by day but have active night lives. 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. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent in the world market was thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred for a first second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business

showed you know bored in this one and only boom box. young enough. so i've come to. myspace really brutal budging incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mother as not only be killed but also be cut off and butchered. and. i do believe the elephant smile i see it's a nice little lines they all facial expression changes. in. the. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

my conclusion he's had to be made to train during this. again. and i like it he owned the one reason train number one. so it's not do i man who is telling them. the black you have to do this in this in this new manner. we have the older teenagers there is material enough for the old to be used to train the human.

isaac remains calm while he's in for his class to start. and. he lets isaac out of the cage. without even bothering to follow. they have to concentrate them to be a viewer of that they have to. to make you need to predation or for the root is doing. with you. when you are telling your boss. isaac is now demonstrating model behavior by non-thinking rash. he sniffs.

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 all the trainer can send his signal.

it's like watching two old friends getting together. at first but for him performing perfect i mean she was not running she was walking. she sniffed everywhere. she. liked records to steve to t.n.t. he did you work. as a surgeon she was an. visions of t.n.t. . isaac seems to have passed with flying colors.

no one wants to chase a runaway rhett 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 work to begin. in cambodia.

this is home to one of the ancient architectural 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 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 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 danger areas in the country. isaac is here to help with mine clearance. new instructor applies some screen to his skin. 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 ma 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. better off to walk. it's not a hundred like. in the next question is not bad but these are. if if something exploded. in the north being discovered. something explored at least to a point that they don't want an office rather than having nothing. to the mine field it rains again. if we drain 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 a lot then we don't know what. it doesn't look as though we'll get to see eyes a connection. see. see feel. pretty good. through. our.

one more try. it's not clear if the rain will get in the way again or not. the mind to take action team is out in the field after all. isaac is investigating the ground. nothing so far. this means he's identified a suspicious. 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 mind. and the mind is. made in china. i thought. my. mom didn't get. it. all finds a carefully looked on the highlighted in yellow. the

disposal team has a light breakfast after work everyone gets a banana. and they all seem to enjoy it. for this moment of triumph now it's time for a rest. of the real heroes laurie true heroes need to rest to build up their strength for their future. 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 show just book read the night life is almost as exciting as the

rats. so this story of a lot of money and. politics . because. you do not know what the make up on the.

idea like the. election and you have. a lot of developments which would not be possible to come in for you this is why the. interest in. a number. of us of a one trillion dollars. more than ten or. i'm tempted to say. eighty five percent of global will you long to be ultra rich each week one hundred five hundred three first record per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a

are you industrial park but don't let the numbers will be. the only number you need to remember in one one business you know ford commit one and only team books. i know there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a look here my dad he was like a bust at the so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers in african-american communities there is an slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for and then be a father and he's a checkout. we actually lost our place and.

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. but gas in my car.

i mean blowdown seventieth birthday. present. social media twitter live on a french government advertising campaign. part of his fight against. the iranian rights activists visitors to the country. saying that they undermined the efforts to abolish the law requiring women to wear. i think it's i think it's ridiculous i think asking women to come in when they come.
