Ten years on from the invasion of Afghanistan, veteran BBC journalist John Simpson, who covered the fall of Kabul, speaks to SBS.

Simpson was famously 'smuggled' into the country dressed in a woman's burqa, before gaining a place in the history books for apparently reaching the city before Northern Alliance troops. He speaks to SBS 's Anton Enus from Kabul on Afghanistan then, and now.
