Hello im Barbara Starr in london these are the top stories on aljazeera me and more in bangladesh have signed a deal for the repatriation of range of refugees bangladesh said it will begin within two months but its not clear how many refugees will be allowed to return home since august more than six hundred thousand have fled the military crackdown. And many are concerned about how the deal will affect them but highly reports from. After days of negotiating bangladeshs foreign minister Abdul Hassan Mahmud ali and myanmar leader on song suchi reach an agreement on a repatriation plan for the ranger who fled Rakhine State over the last three months the memo of understanding was signed in a foreign minister Level Working Group created as the leaders reached agreement some of the hundreds of thousands of or hindu refugees who fled the violence spoke of their concern about how the repatriation will work. I dont think we did they discriminate against us because we are muslim if they accept us as running is and give us full citizenship and allow us to live in peace and harmony then we will consider returning to the place we have really suffered they have committed so many atrocities against us killed many of my family members burned our homes and taken our land if they give us equal rights citizenship and security then we will consider going back added pressure on myanmar to move forward with the red cross is coming from washington a week after his visit to the country u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson called the Army Crackdown in rakhine ethnic cleansing thats the first time the troubled ministration has used that description in his first visit to the capital neighbored or last week to listen call the events in rakhine as just horrific he also said an impartial independent investigation is needed. Russias ambassador to me and more says the ethnic cleansing label is unhelpful and an independent investigation is not acceptable for me and more so many young gone agree that all may be going on you when you know in my opinion the statement by the u. S. Secretary of state is one sided hes meddling in our countrys affairs. Even though a repatriation agreement has been reached its not clear how quickly the refugees were turned to myanmar not to mention of theyll be going back to the villages they were a victim from or even if many villages which were left in flames still exist its not hard to aljazeera young.

We will maintain the finest fighting force of the world has ever known the world has ever known the world has ever known well never know will never united personally have any difficulty with most of it i just dont like the image that it conjures up in most peoples minds. Its like any other thing in the Global Finance its just the military trade. And. Contractors dont like hard time around. My dad he could go to. His ten young government perspective the iraqi group and was considered a good deal. Not be the article you were on yeah its more like thirty years closely. We have a mismatch between the way we on magine war to be and the reality of the twenty First Century can we do a little or can we find someone as we do it for boardroom dont you get what you pay for. B. B. C. World service and u. S. Troops have left iraq and it continues to maintain a high places in the country with the largest u. S. Embassy in the world the situation in afghanistan the center for crucial for the International Troops to go under control over to the Afghan Forces fish if youre just attrition really critical in the country. Since throughout America Today we are stopped by my father and son in iraq. This is a man who says he was. So young i thought if i was just on the fence or visit friends one. Of them they are already out there on that. Day right now down there tonight yeah. How many of the persons that youre sending out to. Your child soldiers and the like i said i cant i can tell you that i mean if you think i cant i cant. I cant tell you dealing with the many people im going to. This and this. New president you inspecting you know mounted by you. And to be recruits to our yeah. Yeah yeah. Really whats. The real thing well. Enough to hear you know your for you and i will too. This is our tradition if you dont know for it with a stick from the spear with our own. Thats the tradition so if youre trying to simulate this for me disoriented 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 youre busy thats a problem not us not a problem for us mother from. The particles not from boxes yes it must have. And even if they had started when they would fulfill it another thirty but thats not a problem was not a problem just does the job as they are here his car yeah yeah. Let me send guys whatever yes we fancy print and they got the school fees hes got freddy. That im never got no summit on resorted to use your gun i because of that his being that people go isnt what you tell me this is what they do i need to understand english. Gun to shoot those who won five. Years Companies Risk on common contract as my mom wanted them. For example i didnt remember it was for someone time. 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 seems. Like. I will never accept defeat. At least i will never win ill never leave a fallen comrade its the complete opposite in a private military world you look at the budget first the loyalty of these companies and these businessmen and change depending on market forces. We operate in the worlds challenging complex emerging markets the middle east is absolutely the core for other business today. The sooner we can be in pal and we perform and do the right thing on. 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 it a 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 feds the ice that my fits in iraq every did that was a bombing they bombed a village that is iraq its. Every day we have rockets fired. Every day how to gunshots every day a bomb in income in income in oh my good if someones you know lets use damage for all of our god for all of the civil union guys well trained guys. As soon as i originally rock i called my mom i said mom im in iraq she said oh whats 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 yellin oh tell you what you could yeah i said no mom there is no problem here we are saved we are not using a weapon we are you here is does our convince 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. Cooking job not knowing that we were born. Just after the war and surveil you know i couldnt make it up because there was no job by then. And my friend calls me its all me thats a. Very civic and see they were recruiting guys socalled so its also iraq if you just use weapons and we are well trained and it come. Comply on. The first time i arrive to to this Training Camp compline iraq together with that two white men fan from the security company. Driving out in this small truck and whats towards the 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 first thing we see is this a gun an instructor who isnt shouts of the training out there making the recruits lined up in order to receive these guys from the past security company. Came from iraq. With mike in from iraq you said that he needed. A shallow fighter supposed to go to your. Weapon uses only people that. Are fighting between iraq. From his young government is there in. Equipment was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take no good troublemakers something away to back for a couple of years and then returning them after two years with money and from the overseas deployment this could surf to stabilize security. And the beginning of the training cost of another real weapons presence so theyre using the wooden sticks. It was first after a couple of days and so the training that the weapons and their well being lined up at the tables within in the middle of the big camp. It was this tension and excitement those attention mainly because now its actually getting into something very real. For many of the recruits isnt the first time holding a weapon since the ending of the civil war. Many were starting to shake and some were even starting to cry when the when the su got the weapons not being able to to handle a. Compliant backing for iraq. I mean what is coming. From because i thought that weve sort of to know when im seeing this and something. Most of them are now. Of a device. To have born again. Ive. Walked on. My life where point. This young and what has been flipped mainly by young converts and. Youre looking for young men to perform minutes with the chance of a quite good that they have also been. Owes it to to. Well you never can mean i think that actually. It took my father i remember him putting on this love. As a nice metaphor that i would write i will close my heart to. Two people or holy shouldnt do you do on she look like just want to know what. You know if he was still with me oh video together he would give you a poem they found which was personal i dont know whats right whats he talking about. So i was sure enough to keep. Writing. You know. I dont. Need to watch you all good and ive got to show you died to have in my time the person if not god every day remember me to you know ive seen my father whom i want i who next i get i would keep. This its little im going to. Go. I said no i dont want a tree so i start to i go to this thats a used in this. Stuck in my boat. In my boat is that bond among your can drop just as it cried for more to the comic she forgets about you or your motor so i start says. Cool in my heart. When i was young. At a lot of things that ive been seeing there. A lot of day which is no good for you monday. Because. Of the job you have you come on down. On her before you have to do it by denny dont you two have been killed. When we think of war and the war youre right so we have this image. Of a man and uniform. And 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 twenty First Century they dont match those assumptions anymore now we have outsourced a lot of our warfare 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. Until the early ninetys the street is a document key industry. Right mercenaries who are bringing down governments for the cash can you explain what exactly sound fine internationally is and what you do and. Learn. It is a company that provides military Consultancy Services for governments or large corporations. 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 and British Military he got out and was asked to come help with a Company Called sandline. Two 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 would mostly i just dont like the image that comes out in most peoples mind the first time it seems vice i was interviewing him for a newspaper the washington charming Public School educated gods office and that really wasnt massively a feature of the construe before then it changed the agenda of the global agenda almost a profit your company was. Tim spicer was considered a respectable head of a mercenary organization but at first his Business Affairs it didnt go too well it was dogged by failure for example he got a phone call from a fellow indian with a tie passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of syria. 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 Company Started life run by tips by survival on a couple hundred fifty patients by customs and excise and hes accused just smuggling weapons illegally. When i. I would firm gets involved in foreign politics for the benefit of a criminal if you have to stop and ask ok did this really happen or is this the fictitious you know james bond type story but as it was a true story. These things tended to happen says jim speiser government and that hed always somehow managed to get a signed the recently retired british commander who had 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 to 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. Sensible way. Sandline 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 enormous amounts of money to its shelves and so forth to firstly. It launched him spice on a career where he was able to found what would then become one of the most significant problem if you companies in the world. He just. Laughs thank god. The new era in television news. Because its agencies are tossed to do things in secret that are on the list we had actual victims who had survived torture detention and saying this was the cause of my arrest if you would. Just stay with us. I got this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of time im going to have to give them the opportunity to wonderful things start to look at the actual distance theres at least twenty thousand for him to refugees who live here we badly need at these moments to the ship until president Hosni Mubarak has resigned donald trump is going to be the next president retaliation with how they got. Back she finally canisters of gas i just want to believe that western prevent the media getting anywhere it was good for the thank. God. He achieved something that never happened before. With over forty thousand People Killed under his rule it took twenty five years to bring him to a court of law. But why for so long with such a brutal dictator considered
