up to get to the bottom of the bubble. i guess it might be a better buy a survival guide. stacey years like, well, it's going to store it safely at the federal reserve. so there you don't forget it. oh, heck, no. it's a recreation game where we get the rest is 7 years a year. i've tried to report ah name oh bbc world service. mm

hm. you have it wrong. it continues to maintain a high prices in the country with the seeing in the world. the situation of goes into the crucial engine under control which be outgoing forces. the security situation remains critical in the country. system about american we are now by far gonna set you up with that as long as you want. so yeah, like how about if i was on the funds or you lose i phones most of these guys. some of them they have ordered them. i'm going to day enough. i've done this on right now, don't you? can you stop blame on one of your yes missions in was on the area with my mom. so how many of the person that you're

sending out a used to be a child? so just the one i can stand like on death. i can't tell about how many do you think i can't. i can't i can't tell because you're dealing with many people. i'm going to say this under this. ah, that's it in that is mounted by the office as and i quote with, ah, oh good both of the one they will in africa here. anybody they go for

you learn how to do so tradition, if you don't know for it with the sticks from the spirit with arrows, listen the tradition. so if you are trying to think of this, me disoriented, them cycling kind of swollen for that is not the case. may be critical of people who used to be fighting when they were very young, that they now go to war. you think that's a problem? not that's not a problem, not a problem. just a perception people are taking that from actually yes, if i step sure. and even if they had started when they were 12 years old or 13, but that's not a problem. not a problem which is that's the job. that's the car. get his car. yeah. yeah. he's with

god. so we're we us with him. they were fisco fisco, fiscal framing. i mean, the america i'm in resorted to you guys because of that is being that people work on the reason what you're telling them is what they do on the other. some english, a tooth down to short. that's why they got with the credit, the company recon com. i'm on track we sometime on or work out for some time. ah

ah ah, the private military industry is a part of how the country is in my tours today. um, ah, the us government doesn't track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan. we know it's a log. we don't really know exactly how many i spent several years working within the industry. i have

a military background. and one of the differences between being a soldier i found and being a private military contractors that we work for the us military or any military. you take a sacred oath that you're going to serve and fight for your country as necessary, die to protect a way of life. one that you believe and i am an american soldier. i'm a warrior and a member of a team. i will never accept. i will never quit. i'll never leave a fallen comrade. it's the complete opposite in a private military world. you look at the budget 1st, the law see of these companies and these business men's change depending on the market forces we operate in the world's challenging complex emerging market. the middle east is absolutely the core for our business today. we care

empower, we perform and do the right thing on this industry is not just what you see is what you get. ah, when you see a company, you don't know exactly who's working for them. they hire and they sometimes crate will they call subs subcontractors? ah ah ah, there's been commanders in afghanistan who just simply said, we don't know who the subs of the subs the subs are. so you have all these like layers of a contract. ah ah,

levels 40 control starts to fade quickly. the deeper you go from the top to the bottom, ah, united states army and the military in general. so reliance on the private sector. i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just wanna do oh. ready me me time to to the training can come together with it to 2 white men from from the

security company. oh, we're driving out in small track and what's was to come through this far as the landscape, not so far away from from the airport. when we enter the camp and get out of the car, the 1st thing we see is this, that you can an instructor who is in charge of the training of the making the recruits lined up in order to receive these guys from the pads you cared to company the lock in for, from iraq with not from you should actually need to fight us. what are, what are you not on those who basic i will report. this is all if you would at

the top right. if i took the from a genuine texas, the iraqi group was considered quite a good deal in the sense that they could actually take local trouble. make us something the way to rec, for a couple of years. and then turning them after 2 years with money from the overseas deployment. this could serve to stabilize securities on me and the beginning of the swimming course, the one will weapons presence. so there are using these wooden sticks a

couple of days into the training that the weapons arrived. and there was being lined up at these wooden tables within in the middle of the big cam. a . there was this tension and excitement also attention mainly because now it's actually getting into something very real. i mean for many of the recruits. so the 1st time holding a weapon, since the ending of the civil law, a many were starting to to shake and some were waving starting to cry. when that when

the took up the weapons and not being able to to handle it. well, i did it from black, brown bagging for rainbow. i mean, what has come back from the past? i said the weeping to listen and often, oh, and i'm saying this when i'm thinking of for now that i'm going to pass a shadow suppose to live or not again i so this is not my idea shown over bargain follow. i survive my life with no

oh, the still young on the will what has been forced mainly by young conceptions unload if you're looking for young men to perform military jobs, the chances are quite good that they have also been charles diligence. a job. oh, we're right on right. no need to be all good and that's got sure you got to have the money to shoot. i'm about fisher. you from not that every day you remember a few my father of my work with

y'all. when i was young. that a lot of things that i've been seen there a lot of day, which is not good for you monday. what went they raised because i've been job have here come on when they say go the on her as us before. you have to hold it by danny, don't do dutch you to have been to ah ah, when you move directly, resale advertise as content to us and decide who sees what content when and how

much of it. facebook claims these algorithms. so that to learn about our specific preferences. actually this is untrue than shaping preference. if tomorrow a person finds a fake point where the gym video, we're saying the flat, then this content ranks. huh. at least 20 percent or maybe even 40 percent. believe it's true. it's a very dangerous thing. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to trace truck rather than fear i would like to

take on various job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence 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 hm. 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. now we have out source to lot of our warfare to private military companies in the background of this changing nature of

war and who fights it. that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself. until the early ninety's, before the security industry is a dock and murky industry. i mean to bring down governments for the cash. mm hm. like comes to the 1st proper, private military company. it was exactly that. it was a private company. they could field a full all the time. they had incredibly highly trained and had moved into private property on depression with corporate videos. literally

saying in your executive outcomes is a legend. in this business they formed in south africa as apartheid. and in they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid elite units. i've had death squads, some of the most controversial units in terms of the human rights records. no one down they worked for oil companies. they work for governments, angola and certainly own. and this became controversial and international 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

e. o is 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, rogue 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 as well. i mean, we think that would bring the human rights record and we would use them for the hires the same people to sell after that. but now they're legitimate because

they are working under a contract to spices arrival. gave an almost instant singles of respectability to what had previously been messing with world. i'm not personally having difficulty with the word must me. i just don't like the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i saw him at tim spice, i was interviewing him for a newspaper dashing and charming public school educated gods officer. and that really wasn't matching the feature in the industry before. then. it changed the agenda, the global agenda, and what the problem that your company was tim spicer was considered a respectable hand of mercenary organization, but at 1st his business affairs didn't go to well. he was dogged by failure. for example, you got a phone call from a fellow indian with

a type passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal. and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of sharing with me once the president sherylin was back in power. this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and be able to make money, but it didn't work out that way. the company, sand line run by tim spicer, full mommy cuddle, is under investigation by customs and excise that he's accused of 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 tended to happen. so it seems high,

sorry government on that, he'd always somehow managed to get away with it. i don't wish to call them in pop and you're getting sound like we're arrested at the airport cuddled. spicer is facing firearms charges linked to his bid to provide south african trade mercenaries to put down a local result. they were thrown out of the country, but it was, 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's 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 can let abandon messengers is safely back in this country. so has this put him off his new career as a high guns? are you gonna continue with this new new business of your sand line international?

well, i think we've got a number of lessons to learn from this particular episode. i think that we will continue to try and develop our business as long as we can do it in a central way. 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 and cycles. conversely, it launched him spice on a career where he was able to found what would then become more and more significant problem if you company in the world just

who, when 911 heard everything changed to the contractor content unfortunately 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 reacted negatively. and he's absurd,

that's crazy. it's not going to require those amount of troops, 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. ah, so in the early days of iraq, it was a gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere, including black water, was really like a cowboy while la wes, 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 events is that

there was room hiring a prostate or getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an ex cost of a, you're now paying a contractor and is being paid $8.00 times 10. you are welcome. what has happened is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active in them for a very long period. almost car is with was good example. if you tell me a bit of feel, thought none of iraqi left her to run a very the shift from using private military contractors for understandable tasks to using private military contractors. wholesale in my view, took place without much debate,

and all everybody loved in contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians. everybody's concern, 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. i wanted to put 1000 books in the ground and there's 4000 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having for some 5000, but without politically risk, with what they're shooting at. you make a you yes, yeah,

with bank guy. did you get a score? shoot part of it? my son brought up in ricocheted in his car with right with the private security companies had the sensitivity of a vent, bledsoe, civilians would often not always get quotient correspond with what government is done because they will do 2 things at once. you fight and you win hawks and minds. private industry company didn't do much company on the ground opening fight. they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music,

but you know, this was not, there was no subtlety. this was not a, even the military were more discreet than the prob, security companies. what they was, they were very, very public slap in the face for the average iraq, you on a daily basis with 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 hell. 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 offense. very dramatic development. only personally

and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with the canadian city of ottawa declares a state of emergency response to the truck convoy, protest against vaccine mandates. the city mayor sites the serious danger and threats to resident also in the stories that shape the weaker, large, national, and the weekly russia shuts down the moscow office of german broadcast resort, developed after berlin blocks ortiz, the sister channel, or 2 d, e in germany. australian curling team member is allowed to compete at the beijing winter olympics despite testing positive for cobit. we asked if the rules are for some countries but not others.
