The Afghan news photographer Ramin Rahman has been working for western media in Afghanistan. Fearing for his life, he took the opportunity to leave the country on a packed US aircraft when a German journalist offered to help him. He's been speaking to Newshour's Paul Henley about that dramatic day. "More than 1,000 people were in that plane. There was no air, no space, nothing. Not a single centimetre." He tells us when the plane took off, "Personally I was so happy, the whole plane they were clapping, they were cheering, because we were just flying from a battlefield."
