Military leaders and u. S. Allies and the senior figures in trumps. Republican policy have all warned of the dangers of putting too many troops out before the conditions are right. I think its extremely important here in the next couple of months. Not to have any earth shaking changes with regard to defense and foreign policy. Think up or ship, it is drawdown, and either afghanistan or iraq would be a mistake. Well, lets not get the view from iraq al jazeera somehow to feltons and back that the reduction of u. S. Troops in iraq to 2500. 00 is not that significant in light of the drawdown that already took place earlier this year. In january, there were 5000. 00 troops present in country that number was reduced to 3000 as of september and of course, the political and security context that precipitated this reduction was rather complex. Back in january, we had the u. S. Assassination of iranian general custom still in miami, as well as other iraqi officials, which prompted the parliament here to vote to oust foreign troops. And we also saw a rise in rocket attacks against u. S. Interests here in iraq. And in that context, the u. S. And iraq began renegotiating the presence of foreign troops that began reducing the numbers. Of course, the u. S. Arguing that this was not in response to the Parliament Vote or the rocket attacks that it was the result of the official defeat. And that such a large presence was no longer needed. Now it remains to be seen how iraqi officials will react and it remains to be seen how it rainy unbacked groups in country will react. And what is very interesting is that within minutes of the announcement to reduce troops to 2500. 00, there was a rocket attack on the u. S. Embassy here in baghdad. Such attacks have occurred relatively frequently earlier this year. And they were blamed on iranian backed armed groups. Now over the recent weeks, we saw a halt in these attacks, and some of these iranian backed militias have come out to say, we will wait for whoever is the new president elect. And we will wait for the trumpet ministrations to announce a full withdrawal of u. S. Troops from iraq. Now that did not happen, the reduction to 2500. 00 is not with these groups were demanding. And tonights rocket attack at the u. S. Embassy was probably a way to voice their disapproval with this latest announcement. Well, donald trump has now fired to the top u. S.

I cant use a simple cooler that it really was think of the in the coming years. Educated generation who enter the workplace. Shes in the dark about the challenges of the future holds for all of that. So i really didnt actually know whats in 6 days since you from your iowa system were so warm and sweet that we are saying that what theyre saying that im sure that this is says he means our progress. So were going to have our attention and this is an extraordinary film 20 years in the making. Well, im joined now by bruno is the man who spent more than 2 decades of his own life documenting cold case. Thats quite a commitment to how do we start . Well, 1st of all, its not that i spent 20 years only during the case, one of a dozen babies that we started filming in 1902 or around the world. And the way that it worked is that every year, every couple of years, its a kind of around the world trip, you know, stop it if ok for a few weeks on film and then go back home and then 2 years later do the same thing. And engage in character, you have to help but fall in love with. Did you choose the family . Well, coleridge is the babies because babies dont talk, shows the parents. Take a parents seem to be very much the model. Chinas vision one, the one child Family Living in a part of china seemed to be really emblematic of chinas new Industrial Revolution that was gearing up at that time. Usually when you make a documentary you, if youre lucky, you have a few months. Sometimes just a few weeks that you spend with the people you film with when its over a course of 20 years or 25 years, in this case it becomes almost like a kind of family sort of relationship. Its very privileged films are always a kind of a canned version of reality, a kind of canned story of condensed. And if you film over that period of time, Different Things become apparent. And the camera sees Different Things that you would never see in the spaces. A couple of weeks or a few months. How did the camera do you think change k. K. . Tell him to have family dynamic. I dont believe it did. I dont believe it did to she. The key thing with, with k. K. And with all the other people i filmed is the kind of relationship that you feel with them. And if you dont speak the language, the person thats really important is going to be the translator, the local person. Yeah. And as a matter of principle, i always spend a lot of time with the translator and really make sure that were on the same wavelength. You know, that were in sync with each other. We both understand what it is that i want. And they are the person, the child is also interacting with. My presence is always there, but that relationship is really vital. You can see theyre very comfortable with the badness and their huge element of trust. Yeah. One, joe, we saw change extraordinarily 20 years. Would you say that those changes that you saw in that city were mirrored across china . Its how the whole country has changed itself over 2 decades. Yes. And i think at that time in china, when we started filming, everybody knew that this was going to be happening. And a kind of universal thing, you know, with parents is they want their children to have the chances that they never had themselves as they grow up, take his parents when theyre different. But in contrast to some of the other countries where ive been filming, they have actually seen those changes happen and their children have had those chances to go to university and have the chance of a professional career maybe without what they did to he wanted. What is catering now . Shes got her dream job to work in a bank. Was that her dream job there . She wants to design drugs. You want is designed dresses, but she told i want to go to university. That was a big thing. And designing wedding dresses. Absolutely. But she got married after her. After finishing university, she sort of the love of her life. They dont merit. They have to not want children, not one child to hold. The biggest is about 4 years old for 4 months old. I think she doesnt need to work, they have enough money to be happy and concentrate on their children. But a great speech. She, thanks so much for coming back to talk with us here on rewind it. And thats it from us to join us again. Next week adam, do check out the rewind page at aljazeera dot com for more films from that best area. And im not trying to join in thing again in 2012, aljazeera traveled to iraq. People here are definitely scared to speak on camera. Theyre saying that if they talk to us, they think theyll be arrested down the line to take the pulse of a country ravaged under us occupation. Some of these graves are completely destroyed. Its one of the most holy and sacred sites in all of iraq and turned into a battleground between the mahdi army and the americans. Rewind returns to iraq after the americans at this time on aljazeera. However weve got rain clouds gathering across northern parts of the middle east and some cold weather as well folk at measure. Heres the west, the weather, up towards the black sea turtles caspian sea just around the caucasus. I mean, yeah, georgia, seeing some wet weather along with the fall north of iran struggling to get into double figures in tara just 11 celsius on wednesday as we go on into thursday. Likely to get to around 9 degrees here at that stage. Well, so weather moving through the eastern side of the mediterranean, but think it clouds sliding across iraq through parts of moving parts of the gulf and pushing down to us here in concert with the top temperature of around 27. 00 celsius struggling to get to 27. 00 celsius. So around 80 in found high for the self, the dry weather, the south weather continues around the horn of africa. One or 2 shell is just pushing in from the arabian sea. Its essential parts of somalia, palencia showers there into tanzania all the way over towards the gulf of guinea, towards cameroon, towards hugo bomb, sea, west of weather coming in here, and that wet weather, making its way down into angola as well. You see this cloud drapes down across sam pushing towards bots. One of the eastern side of south africa, seen some lively showers. And that wet weather pushing further east. But a lot of the stories that we cover all highly complex, so its very important that we make them as understandable as we can do as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crises. So issue all of the blood supply to this area, the smell of death is overpowering as aljazeera correspondent, thats what we strive to do the time but minutes or it says it will pull more troops out of iraq and afghanistan, slashing levels to the lowest in almost 2 decades about this and this is all to see on live from doha. Also coming up shortly after that u. S. Announcement about cutting troop numbers. Rockets are fired into baghdad, secure green zone, who swears in its 3rd president , within a week after days of protests forced his predecessor to resign. Cleaning up after her
