nearly a third of british fatalities have occurred there. this latest transfer of responsibility is bound to raise a question -- are the british pulling out with their tails between their legs or is this simply a sensible deployment now that there are more u.s. troops on the ground. our correspondent reports now from sangin. >> five bloody summers in hellman's. 337 british lives lost and almost a third of all deaths happened here, in the most dangerous district of all, sangin. with the last journalist to visit, and hand over to u.s. forces. a time to reflect an for hard questions about the sacrifices that have been made. >> it has to be hard moment -- would be completely wrong or almost immoral of me not to sort of question what is we are doing. it is a sort of natural reaction every time there is a regrettable loss of life. but i think those sorts of moments could be overcome. >> we joint british and u.s. marines and to prepare for one of their last joint patrols. for a final few days, they must brave their demons. >> it has the depth to th

>> i think that there is huge british expertise that i saw at the british foreign office. the diplomats struggle to put pakistan and a better direction but i think they constantly have to be aware of the limits as a former colonial power. we have a lot more influence in pakistan then say in india but we have a difficult relationship. we were in charge of their once. understandably, those might be too direct or a push. what has happened in pakistan is that you have a country born out of division and war. this has allowed the forces of a merchant and a very rich trading class combined with feudal landlords and the army to create a grid lock at the top of pakistani society and prevent the emergence of a sort of broader middle-class and a democracy with deeper roots. this is to encourage the emergence of a civil society that comes out of the human rights hutment. this might provide a more pluralistic, a more competitive blissful situation. >> there's an old saying in television, the reporter gets the credit, the producer gets the blame. in cinema, the actors gets the fame, the
