Cambodia unveils a statue of the landmine-hunting rat, Magawa, the only rat ever awarded the PDSA Gold Medal for animal bravery. The giant African pouched rat, originally from Tanzania, helped detect over 100 mines and other unexploded ordinance covering an area equivalent to 20 football pitches. Cambodia remains littered with mines, discarded ammunition and other arms from decades of war starting in the 1960s.
