It was a horrifying death for the 39 Vietnamese nationals found in the back of a trailer in an industrial park in Essex, in October last year. The story shone a light on the subterranean world of people smuggling and human trafficking, reports Cat McShane, specifically the thriving route between Vietnam and the UK. Ba is slight for 18. His body shrinks into a neat package as he recalls his experiences. We're sitting in a brightly lit kitchen, a Jack Russell dog darting between us under the table. Ba's foster mum fusses in the background, making lunch and occasionally interjecting to clarify or add some detail to his account of his journey here from Vietnam. She wants to make sure his story is understood. Ba's lived here for nearly a year. He was placed with his foster parents after being found wandering, confused and scared, around a train station in the North of England, with just the clothes he was wearing. "You feel safe now though, don't you?" his foster mum asks, needing affirmation that the mental and physical scars Ba wears will heal with enough care. His story is one both extraordinary, and typical of the growing number of Vietnamese men and women recognised as being potential victims of trafficking in the UK. For several years, Vietnamese have been one of the top three nationalities featured in modern slavery cases referred to the National Crime Agency, with 702 cases in 2018. The Salvation Army, which supports all adult victims of modern slavery in the UK, says the number of Vietnamese nationals referred to them over the last five years has more than doubled. It's estimated 18,000 people make the journey from Vietnam to Europe each year. Ba believes it was a Chinese gang that trafficked him to the UK. He was kidnapped off the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, where he was a street child, an orphan who slept in the bend of a sewage pipe. He sold lottery tickets for money, although older men sometimes beat him and grabbed his takings. A 2017 Unicef report described Ho Chi Minh City as "a source location, place of transition and destination of child trafficking". And a 2018 report by anti-trafficking charities said numerous trafficked Vietnamese children had reported being abducted while living on the streets. That's what happened to Ba. "An older man told me that if I came with him, he could help me earn a lot of money. But when I said no, he put a bag over my head. I couldn't believe what was happening," he says. He was then bundled into a small van, bound as well as blindfolded, his shouts stifled. Somewhere along the way, Ba's captors changed, and now he couldn't understand the language they spoke. When they finally came to a standstill and the bag was removed, Ba found himself in a large, empty, windowless warehouse in China, and was told to wait. "I knew they were preparing to send me somewhere to work," he says. During the months that Ba was held there, a guard regularly beat him. "I don't know why," Ba says with a shrug, "there was no reason." When he was caught trying to escape, his punishment was far worse than kicks and punches - the guard poured scalding water over his chest and arms. "It was agony. I was shouting at him to stop but he didn't listen," he says. Ba became unconscious with the pain. "I just lay still for days. I couldn't walk. It was painful for a very long time." His foster mum adds that his scarred skin is tight all over his body, and a permanent reminder of what happened to him. "How did I keep going? I kept telling myself to keep eating, keep working and to wait for the opportunity to run away," he says. He finally escaped by smashing an upstairs window, and jumping to the ground. Then he ran for as long as he could!

US President Donald Trump has made an unannounced visit to American troops in Afghanistan, his first trip to the country since taking office in 2017. Speaking to troops at Bagram Air Field, Mr Trump said the US was "substantially" drawing down its troops in Afghanistan, without giving specific numbers. The visit comes a week after a prisoner swap with the Taliban aimed at restarting talks with the group. He also met President Ashraf Ghani. BBC

A group of orphaned British children caught up in the war in Syria have returned to the UK. The children, who are all from one family, are the first to be repatriated from the area of Syria once controlled by the Islamic State (IS) group. The Foreign Office was asked by the High Court to help them return. The court heard they arrived in London on Friday and were in good spirits, having met with members of their family who they had breakfast with. They were brought back to the UK at the request of relatives after they were made wards of court - meaning they were placed under supervision and protection of the High Court. The judge said it had been a complex and difficult operation. Mr Justice Keehan said the children had now gone to their family homes where they appeared settled and as happy as possible in difficult circumstances. On Thursday, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the "innocent" children should "never have been subjected to the horrors of war". Mr Raab added: "We have facilitated their return home because it was the right thing to do. "Now they must be allowed the privacy and given the support to return to a normal life." The fate of foreign IS fighters and other foreigners caught up in the conflict has been a key issue since the defeat of the extremist group was declared in March 2019. IS once controlled 88,000 sq km (34,000 sq miles) of territory stretching from western Syria to eastern Iraq. The UK had been reluctant to take back citizens from the area. Other countries including France, Denmark, Norway and Kazakhstan have brought children home. The United Nations has said countries should take responsibility for their own citizens unless they are to be prosecuted in Syria in accordance with international standards. Save The Children said the repatriation was a "triumph of compassion in the face of cruelty," and that it would allow the youngsters to live full, happy lives. But Alison Griffin, head of humanitarian campaigns at the children's charity, said more work was needed. She added: "There are still as many as 60 British children that remain stranded in appalling conditions and Syria's harsh winter will soon begin to bite. "All are as innocent as those rescued today and our very real fear is that they won't all survive to see the spring. "They must all be brought home before it is too late."! *BBC*

Several protesters have been arrested while trying to run from a Hong Kong university campus surrounded by police. Around 100 people tried to leave the Polytechnic University, but were met with tear gas and rubber bullets. In the past week, the campus has turned into a battleground as long-running anti-government protests become more violent. A small number managed to successfully leave the campus using rope ladders before being picked up by motorcycles. Hong Kong's Hospital Authority says 116 people have been injured and taken to hospital. The violence is some of the worst seen during months of unrest in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. The protests started over a controversial extradition bill, and have now evolved into broader anti-government demonstrations. China has warned that "no-one should underestimate [its] will to safeguard its sovereignty and Hong Kong's stability", and its ambassador to the UK said the central government would not sit back and watch if the situation became "uncontrollable". Timeline of unrest How is Hong Kong run? Protests explained in 100 and 500 words Hong Kong is a part of China, and the protests are, in part, about the fear that the special freedoms the territory enjoys as a former British colony are being eroded. Earlier, Hong Kong's High Court ruled that a ban on protesters wearing face masks was unconstitutional. The colonial-era emergency law was invoked in October, but protesters largely defied it. Hong Kong's government said the weekend's events had "reduced the chance" of district elections being held on Sunday as planned, public broadcaster RTHK reports. Postponing or cancelling the vote could further inflame the protests. The UK has urged an "end to the violence and for all sides to engage in meaningful political dialogue" ahead of the elections. What is happening? Police are still besieging the university where several hundred protesters are thought to be trapped. Officers have ordered those inside to drop their weapons and surrender. A protester inside the university told the BBC supplies, including first aid equipment, were running low. Meanwhile, a fire broke out on campus and loud explosions were heard, according to the South China Morning Post.
