Diamond River Hunters

Peter gathers his team of miners and investors together for a pre-expedition briefing in Durban, South Africa. After a two day journey they reach the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. They arrive at the valley where they will be based, but only after a long and treacherous drive, towing the machinery down dangerous dirt roads. Finding a route to the river so they can setup equipment and mine is not easy. There are problems with the pumps and classifiers, and taking them off the trailers is a quick fix, but this compromises the mobility and safety of the operation. The equipment supplier has not taken the altitude into consideration, and the machinery will not work at full capacity. The team is concerned by Warren's recklessness as he almost rolls the TLB, while prepping the road to a new mining site. There is a snowfall, but work continues. Don is concerned that the river will flood with the snowmelt, and after they wrap for the day, the water levels rise and the machines are under threat. After a mad, dangerous scramble in the dark the equipment is saved, but it has been a close call. All the equipment was almost lost before they even had a chance to mine properly. After a few days of working at the initial site, the first bags are filled with concentrate but no diamonds are found. The team is upbeat and very excited to get set up at the hotspot in the next valley. The hard work of building roads and river crossings begins.

Close Quarter Battle

The Bosnian War was an extraordinarily complex event, with many layers of military involvement including NATO forces, national militaries, irregular paramilitary forces, mujahedeen revolutionaries, private security companies, and international intelligence personnel. One tactic in particular struck fear into the hearts of the military and civilians alike: the use of snipers positioned in high buildings. This edition of CQB investigates this speciﬁ c combat technique and how it was countered by opposing forces. Taking viewers inside a "sniper's den," the program explains how this tactic was so successfully used by rebel forces-and how traditional military techniques evolved to combat it.

Using its "sub-second" analysis techniques and intimate ﬁrst-person footage, CQB reveals the backgrounds, training and equipment of today's "soldiers for hire" and how private armies are re-shaping the way conﬂ icts are conducted around the world.

After constructing dirt roads and river crossings, access to the new mining site is completed. Warren and Konrad are first to the reach the hotspot and setup in prime position, but the equipment is not running properly. There is a confrontation between Gary and Peter on the way to the site about Gary's reckless driving. The divers start to pump the river bank. The classifiers and jig are processing concentrate: bags are slowly being filled. However, there are constant breakdowns and stoppages as the team try to find a way to get the pumps primed and running at full power. They are desperately searching for solutions and have taken to repairing and modifying the equipment on site. This is starting to affect productivity and morale. A new plan is hatched to solve the pump problems: get larger and more powerful pumps. The divers are dispatched to fetch these from South Africa, but they are much to heavy for the trailers used to tow them. The trip back over the mountain passes is made even more dangerous because of the overloaded trailers. The new pumps are set up the next day, but they come with problems of their own. Jan, the equipment supplier, returns to find a solution to the pumping dilemma. He doesn't believe the machines can work at altitude. There is a confrontation between Jan and the miners. They take him to task about his lack of foresight and research. Warren has a close call when he breathes poisonous fumes while diving. Luckily Gary notices and pulls him from the water. Peter returns to the valley with a new plan to use the smaller pumps. Warren drives the TLB too close to Gary and endangers him by dropping big boulders while he is diving. Warren and Gary continue to aggravate each other and they get drunk and have a fistfight while at a nearby ski resort. Gary is badly beaten and injured. There is a lot of fallout when they return to the lodge. Gary's jaw is in a bad way and there are fears it may be broken.

Wild Ones

Camouflaged cats. Some animals will never be inconspicuous, others blend so perfectly with their surroundings that they can move through them without detection. For many of the cats of Africa, camouflage is key to survival. From the spots of the cheetah, the rosettes of the leopard and the stripes and dots of the serval, these cats have evolved to merge with their habitat. Hidden lizards. Feeding on these harvester ants, is a beautifully adapted predator, the regal horned lizard. Merging perfectly with their surroundings these small reptiles live in the rocky, gravelly, desert like habitats of Arizona where they make a living almost exclusively on ants. Cryptic snakes. In the leaf litter of Australia's woodlands and scrub hides one of its most cryptic and dangerous snakes – the death adder. The camouflaging patterns of snakes are mesmerizing – from the pearly multicolored sheen of the carpet python to the mottled bands of the death adder, snakes can be hidden right before our eyes. Shimmering cuttlefish . Many animals can hide and many can disguise themselves to some degree, but few can rival the camouflaging capabilities of the magnificent cuttlefish. Cuttlefish can not only change color, they can also change their shape as well as their texture as they morph through seamless variations of themselves.…. and concealed chameleons. Making camouflage an art form are the verdant sauntering highly distinctive chameleons that make their homes in rain forests, grasses, trees and bushes. There are well over 100 species of chameleon around today, ranging from the tiny pygmy chameleon to the prehistoric looking horned chameleon, most are found in Africa and Madagascar. Birds. In the frozen climbs of the northern hemisphere winter, ptarmigans blend against their snowy surroundings. Invisible spiders - Crab Spider. There is one tiny creature that has evolved a camouflage that is so perfect in its simplicity it is often overlooked by the casual human observer. Adapted to their hunting terrain the crab spiders that are found on bark and leaves are darker in coloration than those found on flowers which is the master of disguise?

Wild Ones

The most venomous snake on land. The deserted heart of the Australian outback, where people seldom venture, is the hot, baked home of the most venomous land snake in the world - the inland taipan, a two meter long snake with enough venom in one bite to kill a quarter of a million mice. The rare envenomating lizard. Venom is not the exclusive domain of snakes and spiders. In the deserts of the south-west United States and the north west of Mexico lives the striking and venomous Gila Monster - the largest land lizard in North America. Blue ringed octopus. In the shallow waters of the Pacific Ocean is an animal the size of a golf ball that carries with it not one, but two types of venom. One is used on its main prey of crabs and is relatively harmless to humans, the other is used in defense and can kill an adult human in minutes. The tiny toxin wielding Red-backed spider. In secluded outhouses, under fences and letterboxes, under barbeques and amongst garden litter are the messy webs that hold the killing fields and the hundreds of offspring of a very deadly female. Tucked in the corner of her web the scarlet stripe of the red-back spider advertises her lethal capabilities. The feroci

Wild Ones

The targeting Archer fish. Just below the surface of the water is one of nature's most precise miniature hunters – the fabulous Archer fish. Able to shoot down their prey with targeted jet propelled water darts the archer fish is bulls-eye accurate. The ambushing Portia. A mere centimeter in length, the Portia spider is one of nature's most capable and intelligent hunters. A formidable serial killer of other spiders, Portia's are fast to learn and quick to adapt. The harpooning cone shell. In an ocean full of fast moving and agile fish, those that hunt them need sure fire methods of capture. So it is perhaps surprising that one of their most deadly adversaries, is a very slow moving snail. Weapon swinging Bolas Spiders. As the day comes to and darkness sets in, one of the world's most deceptive hunters begins her nightly rituals. Dangling from the silken trapeze line she has just laid the female Bolas Spider spins a short silken thread punctuated with tiny globules and ending in one huge sticky silken bolas. Slave Making Ants. Running over almost every corner of the earth are millions and millions of tiny worker ants. Yet for some ant species, most of the workers are not their own blood. These are the slave makers trap laying Ant Lions. Throughout the sandy soils that blanket the earth there are hundreds of species of ants making a living on the land they find themselves. Yet there is one insect whose larvae makes a living on them – the one and a half centimeter, cunning, powerful, ferocious and often inconspicuous Ant lion Parasitic Pompilid wasps In the dunes of the Namib Desert is a little wasp that seeks out a very certain type of prey.

Cheetahs Of the Deep

The Canary Islands are sheltered by a mild climate, protected from any extremes of weather. But high up on the towering mountains, the conditions can turn treacherous. In winter, water is released by high altitude storms and fertilized by nutrients washed from the soil. As this drains into the sea the soupy waters around the islands attract a huge variety of life, draw in in from the vast Atlantic Ocean. Many whale and dolphin species congregate in these waters, but above all Short-finned pilot whales are found here in the vast numbers.Isora is the leader and matriarch of one of the largest resident pilot whale pods between Tenerife and La Gomera and we document her activities over a one year period. Several females and their offspring form the hard-core of this close-knit society where all the main family members are related to the mother. Males in the pod also play a role, but not in reproduction, as they are blood relatives. With their vow of chastity, they ensure the protection of newborns and juveniles - a long-term investment which is crucial for pod survival.Physical contact is important for the whales and the film reveals moving and rarely-seen interaction between the older pod members and the new arrivals. But this carefree innocence is undermined by harrowing footage of the effect plastic waste is having on the whales and other species. Large squid are the pilot whales' preferred food source and the best feeding grounds lie a thousand metres deep. But they are masters of deep diving and are involved in titanic battles with the squid on daily basis.As the mothers give birth we examine the close bonds between the new arrivals and the pod, and how the whales deal with the tragic death of one of the calves.This film also looks at other whale and dolphin species which frequent the area, including the rarely seen Risso's dolphin, Brydes Whales and Atlantic Spotted Dolphins. Green sea turtles also frequent the area, attracted by the rich-sea grass beds which surround the islands.Filmed in stunning HD, this film delivers a comprehensive portrait of a unique and protected underwater haven, one of Europe's last frontiers before the mysterious deep Atlantic takes hold.
