With President Obama announcing the end of US combat operations in Iraq, Simpson's World takes you to parts of the Iraqi capital which for seven years have been a no-go area for foreign journalists. Downtown Baghdad, around the 13th century Mustansiriya University, had been an insurgency stronghold since the summer of 2003. John Simpson walks the narrow lanes of the market to discover how some things have changed and some have not.
