Thousands have been asked to stay home although the total number of cases outside China Remains relatively small we are concerned about the number of cases which is more clearly tickling so i just travel history to jail all contact with her valid case were especially concerned about the increasing cases in the Islamic Republic of iran where there are no 18 places and for those in just the past 2 days. But pride is in the Southern City of daegu with more on the white reaching impact on south korea. These latest figures do make for very grim reading once more showing a doubling of this basically a pattern now has been established over the past few days that we have a doubling each day it seems this time last night friday we were talking about just over 200 cases in south korea were now talking about well over 400 and the focus still is very much on this area daegu and the adjoining chung go county where we have a number about half of all of the cases are now reported to be members of this one Church Community so thats the focus at the moment is trying to screen and test all of the thousands of members of this church and it has to be said that around a 1000 of them have reported flu like symptoms so we can expect sadly many more people from this congregation potentially to test positive for the corona virus around 100 or so of the number are also from a hospital in chiang doe where it seems the there is a link between the cluster here in daegu and the neighboring county somehow there has been a cross infection into that hospital which is spread very rapidly through the patients there and also the staff it is having a profound impact on this corner of south korea it is brought pretty much Economic Activity in the city of daegu to a standstill you dont see many people out on the streets also has an impact further afield we just heard for example that a Samsung Electronics factory just outside of this city has decided to close one of its staffers come down with the coronavirus so it does have this knock on impact.

Just like any other thing in the Global Finance its just the military trade. Contractors dont like her time around. Why did i do to go to. The missing young government expects of the iraqi troop and was considered a good deal. In the article you on the. Way to your school grief. We have a mismatch between the way we magine war to be and the reality of the 21st century can we do a little more could we find someone and we do it for boredom really dont mean you get what you pay for.

Sees throughout America Today we are now stuck by my own stuff in iraq. This is a cat as it will come out as it will. So yeah i know but if i was this other funds or even friends most of it is gary samore and day out were going to have on that stuff. Day now father and son right now down there tonight yeah. How many of the persons that youre sending out. You should be your child soldiers in the nikon 7 i cant tell i can tell you that when you think i cant. I can tell you dealing with the many people im going to say i this and it is this and this. President inspecting. The sense. Of what. It will be the look. Cool enough look at your. Inability to deal for evil and i will too. This is a traditional if you dont know fight with sticks in the spirit. This is a tradition so if you are trying to simulate this many disorients them say well it could im sure but that isnt the case some may be critical of people who used to be fighting when they were very young that they all go to war you do think thats a problem not thats not our problem under from it is yes that must have shown before take its not from an absence yes it must have changed. And even if they had started when they would fulfilled or live in the 30s that thats not a problem wasnt a problem just as the job as they are here is carrying. The sand guides well yes we fasted and they got the school fees training. The army never got in the summit and resorted to using a gun on because of the ideas being that people who come isnt what you tell me then it would be to andy and as an english. Gun to shoot those who qualified need gun was. Not a. Good Companies Risk on comment on fact as we stopped my money on 2 of them. Are example i didnt remember it was for someone im. The private military industry is a part of how the country is in fights wars today. U. S. Government doesnt track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan we know its a lot we dont 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 contractor is that when you work for the u. S. Military or any military you take a sacred oath that youre going to serve and fight for your country and necessary die to protect a way of life one that you believe in i am an american soldier im a warrior and a member of it see. I will never accept defeat. At least i will never quit ill never leave a fallen comrade its the complete opposite in a private military world you look at the budget 1st the loyalty of these companies and these businessmens change depending on market forces. We operate in the worlds challenging complex emerging markets the middle east is absolutely cool for other business today. The sooner we can are in palin we perform into the right thing off. This industry is not just what you see is what you get. When you see a company you dont know exactly whos working for them they hire and they sometimes create what we call subs sub contractors. Theres been commanders in afghanistan who just simply say we dont know who the subs of the subs subs are. So you have all these like layers of a contract. A level of Quality Control starts to fade quickly the deeper you go from the top to the bottom. United states army and the military in general is so reliant on the private sector i would call the dependency but we dont know whos the on the ground presence of these Companies Overseas we just dont know. Crazy or not surely its really crazy in iraq. Because since the fed i stepped my fits in iraq every did that was a bomb and they bombed a village there is a rockets. Every day we have rockets fired. Every day i had gunshots every day a bomb in income in income in all my good it bomb once you know whats you damage. 4 of our guards 4 of the civil union guys well trained guys assume i say original rock i called my mom i said mom im in iraq she said oh what i said im in iraq no no youre kidding i said no moment im in iraq i said mom just watch the number whats the number and she watched the number. She was she was just she was yelling oh daddy. I said no mom there is no problem here we are saved we are not using weapons we are you here is does our i convinced my mom i said we are doing just domestic walk in iraq she told all the neighbors around so my son hes in iraq you know hes doing a cooking job not in the in that we were born. Just after the war in syria you know i couldnt make it up because there was no job i didnt. And my friend calls me its told me that if i had. Very civic and see they were recruiting guys socalled so its also iraq if you just use weapons and who are well trained in it come from. Comply on. The 1st time i arrive to to this Training Camp can plan i have together with it to see white men found from the security company. Went driving out in this small track and whats its was a camp through this forest a landscape not so far away from from the airports and when we enter the camp and get out of the car the 1st thing we see is this a gun an instructor was and shouts of the training out there making the recruits theyre lined up in order to receive these guys from the past security company. Direct my care for iraq. Written i came from iraq you said that he needed. He was a shallow fighter who supposed to go to iraq not on ice you know who those who know basic weapons uses only people that you cant be fighting between iraq. From his young government perspective the iraqi crude and was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take you know good troublemakers something away to back for a couple of years. And then returning them after 2 years with money and from that overseas deployment this could surf to stabilize you crazy and ca on. Live. In the beginning of the Training Course that one looked real with and presence so they using the said i wouldnt sticks. It was fast after a couple of days and so the training that the weapons and arrived and their well being lined up at these wooden tables within in the middle of the big camp. I dont know where. It was this tension and excitement also the tension mainly because now its actually getting into something very real ok me. For many have to be true this is the 1st time holding a weapon since the ending of the civil war. Many were starting to shake and some were even starting to cry when that when the su got the weapons and not being able to to handle them. That day any day i will provide a compliant backing for iraq and a vampire no war and the money is gone but from the past i thought that we supposed to know when im seeing this went into making. The most notable for now. What i did last year. So i was supposed to have born again i said this is not my idea. What. I survive and i live where point. This young on what has been fought mainly by young converts. Looking for young men to perform military jobs the chance of a quite good that they have also been. I was attached to teens. So you never can mean i think that actually. It took my fight a time when putting on just love. To. Look like. Me. They fed. Us you know i dont know whats right whats he talking about. To keep. Going on. No. Need to. Show you how he might push it on the fish if not about every day remember. Returned our few my father to my word out next idea that i would keep. This its little im going to. Go. I said no i dont want a tree so i asked thats how good it is thats a used in this stuff you put it in my boat sets of mock me and my boat is that bond and i burn it in order and drop. This in the us to cry for water but the gun makes you forget about your mortar so i start says. Call my house. When i was young. At a lot of things that ive been scindia. A lot of. Which is not good for human beings. Or when they do so because. Of the job you have your command on when does it go the people you have to go to bed then you dont go dutch youre to have been killed. When we think of war and the warrior who fights we have this image and our mind of a man in uniform. In uniform means theyre fighting as part of a military serving a nation because if they fight for their force political patriotism. And yet when you look at the wars of the 21st century they dont match those assumptions anymore now we have outsourced a lot of our war fare to private military companies. The background of this changing nature of war and fights that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself as. It was until the early ninetys the private Security Industry is a dull commercial industry. Outright mercenaries who were bringing down governments for the cash can you explain what exactly sound fine internationally is and what you doing. It is a company that provides military Consultancy Services for governments all. Russians. 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 the british military. Got out and was asked to come help with a Company Called sandline. To spices a rival gave an almost instant sense of respectability to what had previously been a mess in the world and i dont personally have any difficulty with would mostly i just dont like the image that it comes out in most peoples mind the 1st time it seems feisty i was interviewing him for a newspaper hes charming Public School educated god self so and that medievals an s. U. V. A feature of the construe before and it changed the agenda of the global agenda almost a problem that your company was. Tim spicer was considered the respectable head of a mercenary organization but at 1st his Business Affairs didnt go too well he was dogged by failure for example he got a phone call from a fellow indian with a thai passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of syria well. Once the president surely and was back in power this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and be able to make money. But it didnt work out that way. The Companies Run by tip spicers focus on a couple 150 patients by customs and excise and hes 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 ok this really happened or is this a fictitious you know james bond type story but it was a true story. These things tended to happen says tim spicer a couple of times that hed always somehow managed to get signed the recently retired british got into that a band of ministers is safely back in this country so has this put him up his new career as a hired gun going to continue with this new new business of heroes Sandline International well i think weve 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. So what. Sandline eventually collapsed under the weight of bad publicity the was that a failure due in the short term you could say that was also a Successful Company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to its shareholders of 2 firstly it launched to spice on a career where he was able to found what would then become one of the most significant for the Movie Companies in the world. Each is. Good. The quick outgrows of toga. Defenseless against the winds have been indifferent to international marketplace. Chocolate and political activist on a mission to establish a cooperative to make and sell chocolate on their own time. Even on power. A taste of independence on aljazeera. Our coverage of africa is what im most proud of every time i travel band whether its east or west africa people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate our coverage and our focus is not just on their suffering but also on the more happy lifting and Inspiring Stories people track our journey and to tell them whats happening in their communities in a clear and unbiased way and as an african i couldnt be more proud to be part of it. There is a huge group of people at work behind our screens and the power they have is massive that urge to keep swiping through twitter feed thats just not the way we all click i agree to the terms and conditions thats just the most of us never even give it a 2nd thought and actually thats design is what i really really explores how designers are manipulating our behavior in the final episode all hail the algorithm on the jersey of. The on. M how i had seen in doha with the top stories on aljazeera so korea has increased its kinds of new coronavirus cases to more than 200. 00 that takes us nationwide total to 433. 00 the government says restricts in movements in big cities like saw a day. The World Health Organization is concerned about its a surge in coronavirus cases with no clear links to china iran has reported another death bringing its total to 528. 00 people infected and a 2nd person has died in its li from the infection there and i 30 confirmed cases there 10 times have been locked down and thousands have been asked to stay at home. Although the total number of cases outside China Remains relatively small were concerned about the number of cases with more communicative knowledge you can link so i just travel history to jail or contact with a very good case were especially concerned about the increasing cases in the Islamic Republic of iran where there are no 18 places and for those in just the past 2 days and so sit on a transitional power sharing government has been formed to take the country through to elections opposition theres a real question are has been sworn in as 1st Vice President s the 2 former rivals will lead thank you government in an attempt to end the years of conflict which has killed more than 400000 people a palestinian man has been shot dead by Israeli Forces in occupied East Jerusalem an Israeli Police spokesman said the man had attempted to stab an officer witnesses say the man was shot after he refused to allow officers to search him the president ial election is underway in tokyo and its expected to extend the president s familys decades long grip on power after 15 years as leader for the sing they is likely to secure a 4th Term Position hasnt been able to form a united front so ashleigh as in an intern the genre has swept at least 8 High School Students to their Deaths Police and soldiers are searching for 2 others who are missing when 250 students were hiking near river and it burst its banks following heavy rain thats you up to date now its back seeing child soldiers being loaded part too. When 911 occurred everything changed. The contractor content of the armed forces went up astronomically at this hour american and Coalition Forces are 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 us army at the time testified to congress and said if were going to do iraq its going to take several 100000 u. S. Troops and very quickly the rest of the Bush Administration reacted negatively and hes absurd thats crazy its not going to require those amount of troops and they actually simply dropped him out of the military it turned out he was right we did deploy several 100000 forces it was just through private military. So in the early days of iraq it was a gold rush you had companies coming out of nowhere including blackwater who was really like a tomboy west where nobody had any control anybody doing anything with firearms in this country to say theyre private military company. Was an a. T. M. For these companies the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting. Training in supporting military vets is that there is room hiring a prostitute or getting married. So instead of a soldier who has an x. Cost of a year now being a contractor whos being paid 8. 00 times 10. Well what has happened is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active in them for a very long period of time its almost as you do it. You get to keep it with you its not invade a country is going to be a. Good. Thing but none of the russians are certainly on the shelf and i think were seeing. This now we will get a real movies where its very. Contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians everybodys concerned like we have a 1000 boots the ground nobody ever asks how many contractors there is dont like hard to turn the ground. So if the u. S. Military wanted to put 1000 boots on the ground and theres 4000 contractors its a way of you know having a force of 5000 but without politically risk. And be done without trying to meet. Youre shooting at you it just you yes yeah it was not. Intended and bang bang so you did did you get a skirt shoot 1st of it shot in front of you know you can reduce shade his car. And thats exactly. Why this is only right. If. The Security Companies had the sensitivity of something as civilians would often if not always. Get caught in the crossfire. What governments have always done is they would do 2 things at once. You fight and you win hearts and minds. Private lynch a complete didnt do that. On the ground opening fire they were very very noticeable they would play rock music that in this was not there was no subtlety 6 this was not a even the military will most discreet in the private Security Companies so they were as they were very very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on a daily basis. To a real problem for the military so we sell the contractor presence in iraq in particular but afghanistan too was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces therefore their presence was more danger than it was help them. Knowing. Who. Every turn around the traffic circle. Theyre probably trying to get leave. And. The problem was that we had all of these different private military Companies Running around we outsourced too quickly and they werent coordinated both in contract terms but also in on the Ground Operational terms so what is your answer to a problem of outsourcing. Outsource more we outsourced it to a private military company to coordinate. Disease contracts in iraq was to oversee the communication and coordination for all of the privacy of your companies on the ground. And been effective meant that they were the general in charge of all of the private contractors. Now that point the us military was the largest machine presence in iraq but if you added together all of the private military contractors spies was effectively in charge of the 2nd largest on force in iraq. The prisons in iraq was relatively stable for years one. Video which was posted on youtube from the contract so who is. Following that gun while playing rock music. This way. But no legal actions were taken. Very rapidly each is such a machine huge company. And it made to spy certain extremely healthy man. A majority of americans now think it was a mistake to go to war in iraq public support for the war is falling war americans want the troops to come home. In a brief ceremony on a base on the edge of baghdad the United States took down the flag of its command here to mark the end of the military mission. The u. S. Money was starting to be pulled out of the iraqi. Field operations and the industry had to go through a very complicated reset. Those companies had to realize that they werent going to get that level of money again and so they had to offer different. Deals. That meant they would have to hire cheap the soldiers. Let me do more. Work. For no one will not go to war. Then i. Am. So mad. And. All the usual. Energy if you hardly. Use food would have died if. Im gone and. But you got. Out of what to me the wrong side. Of the issue the story could see. It be you dont sleep could see. We dont want to langley then whats. Better than long. X. When you go to court and the. Courts people. Who. Drop bits. Sometimes they will give you just a march up which is not shop. Even if you can breathe. A little whatsoever the person can feel it more than you expect to hear you know the one. Who. Destroyed the life. That i think for when i was just. All work undertaken by the judge is carried out to high standards of fresh will competence and integrity when we 1st started into theater we were briefed on peruvian and colombian guards and the natural question you ask is so what do you pay for these folks and you know at the time and im playing off memory cells but im pretty good at that that was about a 1000. 00 to 1200. 00 and them oh i dont know 6 months a year ago it became. A gun and guards at about 800. 00 a month and we douse the question of Security Companies because of those lowest price technically acceptable rushed to the bottom thats what some call. White while gone its now versus proving some columbia im sorry so we dont have a chance to get the award unless we use a god and because there are 2. 00 to 400. 00 less and now in this most recent trip the company that is winning all the awards that had this was 1st start heard of well weve got a good strategy were using Sierra Leonean so you ask the question so so what are we paying for its a 250. 00 a month. You know i guess rhetorically i dont expect to be answered you know can we go lower could we find someone its like well do it for boardroom you know that has such a terrible country that maybe theyll just go out of the country and be a Free Security guard i mean thats pretty inexpensive i say that it sounds facetious but its real. You know what will you get what you pay for. The original goal was not to bring soldiers or exogenous from the poorest countries on earth but the u. S. Military system requires that you pick the lowest bidder so it became the status quo in iraq to have multiple layers of foreigners as long as youre in the army and you meet certain criteria and sometimes you dont have to be in the army to meet this criteria. Companies self interest is different than National SelfInterest Companies are profit maximizes what they do thats natural. Or manmade right now. What do you do if you know you have somebody from the philippines working for an american province all try company in afghanistan to tell somebody what jurisdiction does that person fall under we dont know. d d in about 15 countries ive been involved in programs to reintegrate children who have served in armed forces. Its a contradiction in terms on the one hand western countries have pumped large sums of money into the reintegration of former child soldiers but now we have governments like us supporting these socalled Security Companies that recruit people and continue their exposure to violence and their identities as perpetrators of violence and as soldiers that make it impossible to ever reintegrate into civilian life. At one time when they came into account. I think when. All. I think about my call into whats happened. When he brought you back. The 1st team for. Iraqi. And intended to become. Full force. The. Ship docks and i remember. School deceased was a nice whats happened instead you seem. To. Not. Know. If you are running in a calm and candid. Fighting for what i want to have of you fighting for you got. The i feel your is that you often dont use you know its not good well its because the one. Justice you dont have to. It may seem like an act of free well it is not young people in sierra leone have no jobs theyre desperate to feed themselves and their families and result is that it becomes harder and harder to ever find their way back into civilian life and they may plant seeds of violence wherever they go. It is well known that young people who have extensive histories of violence from being fed drugs and manipulated over time they develop problems of impulsivity high levels of aggression. You know we pride ourselves on being a moral people trying to do the right thing what were doing is were exploiting people using young people whove been child soldiers deliberately sending them into the jaws of combat and further violence nothing could be worse for these young people nothing could be worse for security. Theres a close connection between this this industry and policymakers. These private military firms really poach a retired general officer as an admiral as from the armed forces. Because they have connections. And i know. I say that it sounds facetious but its real. No will you get what you pay for. The private Security Industry will continue to act for governs and youre going to see private companies neutrino gaging in warfare. People care a lot one or a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking ourselves why did they die why do what were they fighting for nobody bothers to ask about their contractors. Every american who serves joins an unbroken line of heroes i am awed by their sacrifice. When in good time and not allowing im going and i have not im not im not a fool if i do any kind of good our men have family coming in the family unit well meaning keep behind on who to be got in on to me what they need to guide. Theres no one going to go out and protest in the streets of a contractors kill. Country still exercises its Foreign Policy the use of force and violence in these 4 regions but is using proxies contractors 3rd Country Nationals and in obscuring their role. You say how did you get into it in the rack i do some missions here when the left can stand its really your money and your tax money. Doing it but make sure that politicians dont get in trouble. Private military contractors makes a decision to go to war a lot easier. As part of ending a war responsibly is standing by those who fought it. For. A long in the bank the bank the bank. But. That was a cold suddenly blowing up the eastern side of south america is going to tina scott fast years ago and now is into brazil not attempt back in rio the full cost to react is a max of 24. 00 to 10. 00 degrees down on 24 hours ago it is much the same in what is ours. Maintained near 30 owners since a car or woman 27 santiago all the showers are moving north generally speaking now this is going to be a trend few of further south as the sun goes nowhere which means theyre going to be on the top of the constant weather showing themselves actually pretty widespread c. O. See more now in for example panama and honduras and theres always a cold front that comes down to the bahamas these are regular events you know they bring the coordinates for the u. S. That if you some big thunderstorms and temporary drops in temperatures frosty on the Higher Ground in for example birth haiti and Dominican Republic but is this as were talking about now and they will get themselves in south next can always have is they were running down to work got to model and across into honduras and if you look at the u. S. Now yes its late february and theres cloud around which suggests well is something happening because its now or is it rain theres not much snow because look at the temperatures theres no way of forecasting below freezing. Gives you a deal dead and did you get the peace prize too soon. Is this going to hurt or help Donald Trumps reelection chances it is very true one thing to cheat somebody on 5th avenue and not have any consequence this is not a muslim issue this is a human calling the issues join me man of the house as i put up from questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking to go debate here on aljazeera. On counting the calls to tonight straight news on relenting challenges you call a germanys plan to get out of Coal Powered Energy plants the unseen polluter we find out what the shipping industry is doing to and soaring emissions. Counting the costs on aljazeera. One of the really special things that work in progress here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know that it turns out in the particular because you have a lot of people that are deployed on political issues. The people believed to tell the real stories just men did used to do you were in did journalism you dont feel inferior to the audience across the globe. The auditor the all the way. This is aljazeera. Other than i am how am i getting an endo how with the aljazeera news are coming up in the next 60 minutes hundreds more cases in south korea and the corona virus spreads to new countries worrying the World Health Organization. Were concerned about the number of cases with more communicative knowledge you could mean so i just travel history to jail all contact with a valid case. Bitter enemies unites inside sudan in an effort to end the civil war thats killed
