Iraq War: The impact two decades on

The 麻豆社's Jeremy Bowen explores the legacy of the UK/US-led invasion which began in 2003.

It has been two decades since the ground invasion of Iraq began. British and US forces led the attack which led to the toppling of Saddam Hussain's regime. The instability that followed led to brutal sectarian conflict, and eventually the rise of the Islamic State.

The 麻豆社's International Editor Jeremy Bowen has travelled through Iraq and reports on the legacy and consequences of the invasion in 2003.

Today's Justin Webb also speaks to Sir Jeremy Greenstock, UK Permanent Representative to the United Nations between 1998 and 2003 and the UK's Special Representative for Iraq.
