4:40 am
a many were starting to shake and some were waving starting to cry when the, when the suit up to weapons and not being able to, to handle in a day that it did not come bagging, for example, i don't know. i mean, what has come from the past. i said that we've been with us and i love to know what i'm saying is when i'm thinking of for now when i'm going to buy a gun. so they're supposed to live or not again? i. so this is not my idea shown over park in what followed. i survive and i live where point with

4:44 am
invisible by design, it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of west any responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it with, when we think of war and the warrior who fights it, we have this image on our mind of a man in uniform. mm . and uniform means they're fighting as part of the military serving a nation. the cause that they fight for their force, political patriotism. and yet when you look at the wars of the 21st century, they don't match those assumptions anymore. and now we have an outsourced to lot of our warfare to private military companies in the background of this changing nature
4:45 am
of war and who fights it. that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself. through with until the early ninety's, the for the security industry is a dock murky industry. or outright must needs to bring down governments for the cash. mm hm. and it comes to 1st proper, private industry company. it was exactly that. it was a private company that could field a full all me if i had time to say. so i just grew incredibly highly trained and it moved into the private sector brushes with cooper videos, which i'm saying is your opportunity to purchase ah,
4:46 am
in executive outcomes is a legend in this business. they formed in south africa as apartheid. and they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid is elite units at death squads, some of the most controversial units in terms of their human rights records. no one down to go with. they worked for oil companies. they work for governments like angola and certainly own, and this became controversial and internationally that he stepped in and said that you can't hire executive outcomes. so another company called san line international out of london sort of ended up taking on some of
4:47 am
e o 's contracts. sandlon a is a company that provides military consultants. his house is full governments. all large corporations are. ready at the time, the idea was to get very posh english officers on top of these private military companies. and tim spicer was an officer in the military british military. i got out and was asked to come help with a company called san line. more executive outcomes row going to be in this we think they're extremely good. they're extremely professional in a very good track record. there are no. ready skeletons in the cupboard is it? well, i mean we think that would bring the human rights record and we would use them for . ready the hires the same people to sell after that but now they're legitimate.
4:48 am
are working under a contract. ready ready to spices arrival gave an almost instant. ready samples of respectability to what had previously been listening this world. and i didn't personally have any difficulty with a word must be added to the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i tell him it tims by following communion, for newspaper dashing and charming, public school educated guards office, and that really wasn't matching the feature ministry before then. it changed the agenda, the global agenda, and what private company was i, jim spicer, was considered a respectable hand of a mercenary organization. but 1st, his business affairs and didn't go too well. it was dogged by failure me. for example, you get a phone call from a fellow indian with a type passport who was under house arrest for
4:49 am
a financial scandal. and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of cheryl. was the president cheryl in was back in power. this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and to be able to make money, but it didn't work out that way. the company line run by tim spicer fall behind the colonel requested by customs and excise, and he's acute to smuggling weapons illegally. when a private firm gets involved in foreign politics for the benefit of a criminal, you have to stop and ask, okay, this really happened or is this fictitious? james bond type story, but it was a true story. these things tend to happen often times that he always somehow managed to get boys with him. i was calling in pop and
4:50 am
you're getting sound like were arrested at the airport cuddle, spicer, spacing firearms charges linked to his bid to provide south african trade reason to put down a local result. they were thrown out of the country, but it was it, it seems like there's always understood that the media is a risk but can be turned. he had to deal with the bad publicity from this operation, which previously would have been completely undercover. but i suppose spice is either genius or stupidity, was to make it public and say, officially, no, this was a contract. this is the contract i signed. the recently retired british letter band of messengers is safely back in this country. so has this put him off his new career as a high gun? are you gonna continue with this new new business of yours sand line international? well, i think we've got a number of lessons to learn from this particular episode. i think that we will
4:51 am
continue to try and develop our business as long as we can do it in a sense, what sand line eventually collapsed under the weight of bad publicity. was that a failure in the short term? you could say that was not a successful company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to a shout in circles. conversely, it launched him spies on a career where he was able to found what would then become one more significant problem. major companies in the world just
4:52 am
ah, who, when 911 occurred everything changed blue. the contractor content of the armed forces went up astronomically at this hour. american and coalition forces were in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, ideologically, republicans, my party wanted every single public function to be scrutinized, analyzed, evaluated, and if possible, privatized general shinseki, the head of the u. s. army at the time, testified to congress and said, if we're going to do a rock, it's going to take several $100000.00 us troops and very quickly, the rest of the bush administration react negatively. and he's absurd, that's crazy. it's not going to require those amount of troops,
4:53 am
and they actually essentially drummed him out of the military. it turned out he was right. we did deploy several 100000 forces. it was just through private military. mm. ah. so in the early days of iraq, it was a gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere in gwin blackwater, who was really like a cowboy while law west. when nobody at any control, anybody doing anything with firearms in this country could say there are private military company. was an atm for these companies? well, the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting training and supporting military vents is that there was room hiring a prostate getting married instead of a soldier who has an ex,
4:54 am
costing a. you're not paying a contractor and being a times 10. you're welcome. what has happened? is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active, paying them for a very long period is almost power yesterday. it was good example. if you invite a country, there's gonna be a bit of fuel thought. none of you know right and left her to run a w. this now we will go wrong, will need or a very loose shift from using private military contractors for understandable to ask to using private military contractors. wholesale in my view, took place without much debate and all everybody with
4:55 am
contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians and everybody is concerned . like do we have a 1000 boots the ground? nobody ever asks how many contractors they're based? don't really count boots on the ground with the u. s. military wanted to put 1000 bucks in the ground and there's 4000 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having force of 5000, but without politically risk, with what they're shooting at. you make a you? yes. yeah. let me know. yeah. you too bye. hey guys.
4:56 am
did you get a skirt suit? part of it. my son brought in ricocheted. his car with right with the private security companies had the sensitivity of a vamp level. civilians would often not always get caught in the crossfire. ah, what governments have always done because they do 2 things at once. you fight and you win hawks mind. private industry companies don't find much company on the ground opening fight. they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music that this was not, there was no subtlety. this was not a,
4:57 am
even the military were more discreet than the prob, security companies. so it was, they were very, very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on a daily basis. it's a real problem for the military. so we fill the contractor presence in iraq in particular . but afghan too was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces . therefore their presence was more dangerous than it was help. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on a very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. see how that
4:58 am
strategy will be successful, very difficult, time time to sit down and talk. oh, is your media reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.
4:59 am
when you move, they directly re sell, advertise as content to us and decide who sees what content when, and how much of it. facebook claims that these algorithms are there to learn about our specific preferences. actually, this is untrue of their shaping preference. if tomorrow person finds a fake point or legit video we're saying the flat then this content ranks. huh. at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent or pretty. that's true. has a very dangerous thing. man, a team always wants the impossible they 1st day a thanks to the government police probably you government
5:00 am
b. they say similar to any asleep or please don't touch my my private by phone patch, my business bone patch, my freedom. and this is an impossible contradiction. ah, moscow vows retaliatory measures against german major credit is in russia to berlin, slapped a broadcast band on our t says the channel martin d london. police chief is under fire after reporter exposes how offices some of them are still in the job. joked about raping colleagues and killing children and chief jeff sucker quits over an affair with his coworker. he leaves plummeting ratings in his way. catherine torn scandals at the media join.
