I haven't watched this myself yet but here's a link. online for 24hrs
Tonight we have two extraordinary films on Newsnight.
IRAQ
We devote much of the programme to the first of a series of reports from Mark Urban in Iraq, in which we see at first hand the US troop surge in action and gauge its impact.
Mark spent 72 hours embedded with US forces in Al Doura - a Sunni dominated area in the south of Baghdad. He's given us a fascinating insight into the everyday dangers faced by Iraqis, and the pressures on US soldiers as they try to bring security to the area, as they round up what seems like a never ending stream of insurgents, and at the same time try to win hearts and minds.
And today's confirmation by the US army that three of their soldiers have been kidnapped in Baghdad - seemingly by Al Qaeda - is just the latest indication of what they are up against.
