Cambodia De-Miners19 January 2004

Last April BBC reporter Stuart Hughes stood on a landmine in Iraq and lost a foot. As he learnt to live with his injuries, he became involved with a mine clearing charity, the Mine Advisory Group.

Then came the invite to return to a minefield. The organisation had just finished training the first all-women mine-clearing team in Cambodia, a country littered with explosives after decades of civil war.

It was with mixed feelings that he headed to Cambodia to meet the women, risking their lives to make their country safe again.
