Having had loving people who brought me up, and then I find another set of people. That really is a double blessing.

Now children as young as nine carry AK47s which can kill 30 people in seconds.

No two wars are identical.

People always seem to assume that we have a full, back-up support team - make-up, costume and a driver - but usually, in a war zone, there's only me and the cameraman.

I wrote in the book very specifically what I wanted to write about, period, and left it at.

I have nothing to do with the selection of stories. I'm the reporter.

My job is to get to the heart of a story, to find out what's really going on; to get it verified and, then, to get it out to as many people as possible as fast as.
