Well, I can help with the language - I'm not going to make an entire transcript in English, but if there's any bits in particular you'd like translated, just ask!

This footage is part of a longer episode, about an hour if I recall correctly. A reporter was allowed to tag along with Dutch commandos in Afghanistan for a few weeks. They patrolled quite a bit but the insurgents avoided them, until the ambush which is in this video. It started with a serious IED blast which destroyed an ANA technical and injured several Afghans - I believe three or four of them eventually became KIA, so the Dutch were lucky. The stills at the end of the video show medics working on an Afghan soldier whose legs were blown off by the IED - the soldier was killed by a stray round while he was being treated.

The guy with the black helmet is from US Special Forces, I think he was either a SEAL or Delta, who shows up every now and again in the area.
