a rendezvous on the fringe of asia's dances jungles. these are my guys they are home on a rugged tough people used to harsh conditions. for the people living in fear. when we talk we wished for. will we try not to create noise and we try to avoid the danger. the danger is posed by the laos army they are everywhere the hmong told me and ambushes are common it's about midnight now we've been walking for about 3 hours up this huge hill hallways are put up with his tortures route for somebody like me but for these young hmong fighters it's a normal walk in the jungle and the sort of care they have to take to avoid the laos army. a few welcome hours of sleep beneath the dense canopy awaking to the chill of an early morning in the highland jungle of northern laos. breakfast was a kind of yam a staple diet for the hmong but something i would come to dread in the coming days
7:25 am
. after 2 and a half days of tough trekking i reached the outskirts of the village i loved and a quite unbelievable welcome. home and he's there to urge. any from 0 to that oh yeah. yeah i'm fine thank you. i was the 1st outside that anyone had seen for 32 years to some it was the 1st time ever. i didn't know it then but my visit had taken on a significance i wasn't prepared for. they called me father and gave me a deep respect for someone who could somehow end their plight to give them a new beginning and for the 1st time in a long while give them hope. her. like everybody. you know i love you sit there like you're waiting the dumbbell over

7:27 am
. you don't have to be in this village very long to understand why there is such a sense of desperation children are visibly malnourished they're dressed in old clothes barefoot or just with flip flops no medicine no education and little food almost a bigger fight than the government forces before coming here nothing actually can prepare you for what you actually see and that's the really depressing scene people living on the lowest level of human ladder and you look around you can't see much prospect for. improvement the emotion of these people they've really come to the end of the line they believe that if nobody helps them it is really the end of the line and the end of them on something like 580000 people among have died in the last 32 years they claim. and he doesn't get
