young people, it shows the society is becoming less accepting to those who are different and others like him are worried. there are more changes ahead and the freedom of chinese youth will increasingly be replaced by the agenda. the communist government . katrina, you al jazeera beijing. ah, it says as round up now at the top stories, the 1st civilian flight has left cobbles, airports is to talk about, took over afghanistan. the airport hadn't been running since the last us troops withdrew last week. repairs had been carried out with the help of katara and turkey . humanitarian aid from katara as arrived into campbell airport. the united nations has warned f canister is on the verge of a food crisis while a ton of on a still trying to form a new government. syrian government forces have shelby southern rebel held enclave

of that. i and ballard injuring civilians. that's after a 3 day sci fi, which so russian military patrol, the rebel stronghold. but people in that i say the government did not allow aid in the saudi led coalition fighting who the rebels in yemen says it is intercepted 3 missile attacks. they targeted demand in the oil rich eastern region of saudi arabia, as well as jazz and mentioned in the south. free people have been injured, including a child flooding in sudan has destroyed more than a 1000 homes in al jazeera state. south of cartoon families have been forced from their homes and they're asking for the government. they're asking the government for food, clean water, and medication, flood waters of destroyed crops and roads. iran president says his country's ready to revive talks on the 2015 nuclear deal. but not on the western question. talks have been paused since june francis called for an immediate return to the

negotiating table on the lawn, care them to more to man. i have said previously that we will definitely have negotiations, you know, order of business, but not with the pressure that the other parties are pursuing. this pressure has failed before the americans in european to experience multiple times that these negotiations along with pressure do not work. what we are pursuing in these talks is the listing of the cool sanction of the 8th weekend in a row, tens of thousands of people in france have demonstrated against the country's newly introduced health path. it allows people who are fully vaccinated and those who recently tested negative corona virus in restaurants, bars, and other public vendors, purchased the say, the move restrict their freedom. those, all the headlines were back in half an hour right now. it's for listening posts, take the worst possible material you radio, grinded into dust comparable flour and make

a whole lot and put it into place where people live. often, design for when people are absent. this is a silent dealer. what does it make you feel like you feel like a murder? we have created an enormous environmental disaster and investigation. south africa, toxic city on al jazeera, the paper here on the yard. we understand that there has been a plane crash on the southern tip. like that was like a 2nd never again going to be the same most new york, it will not be the same and we will not need to say not in the history of this nation has such carnage. me there was an eat those that took cold, that this terrible attack was a big threat to the country and that somehow we were all in this

together. the government and the response ought to be appropriate to what is in fact, the 2nd pearl harbor, the climate after $911.00 meant that if you spoke out against the calls to invade iraq or the war on terror, you are committing career suicide. this is about good versus evil. this is about people who want to destroy us, our civilization, and our way of life know you live in basically created a world in which the united states was able to present itself as a force of good fighting against this international axis of evil. states like these and their turns down eyes constitute an axis of the behind. the rhetoric is a reality, which is filled with death and destruction for people in the middle east and central asia and south asia. we need to paper on notice that if they harbor

terrorists, they are going to get it. legacy has been creating more terrorism. actually, we've got a long way to go. in order to achieve our objective in america has no interest in fighting an endless war against the war then enhances the conditions that produce what is supposed to eradicate. we want to fight a war against when i could win that war in a week. i just don't want to kill 10000000 people. i know my decision will be criticized. but i would rather take all that criticism, pastors decision onto another, present in the united states, yet another month, or the can never really end. the one did not have to be a visionary to realize on september 11th, 2001 that the united states was about to change. a strike at the heart of the

world's only superpower, almost $3000.00 american lives lost in a single day. we'll have that effect. what was unfair seen was how many people in countries that had nothing to do with the 911 attacks have been affected by what the bush administration calls the people who have never set foot in the west have seen their own countries and change their own rights freedom lives restricted, the invasion of afghanistan and iraq turned from the temporary interventions into long term occupations. and we're still dominating nice back in 2000 today, taliban fighters took control of the capital cobble. it was a crusade as president george w bush once called out. we've never seen this kind of evil before, but the evil doers have never seen the american people. it started with the white

house, forging alliances on the airwaves imprint and in intellectual circles. one of the intellectuals who was brought into the white house to help frame the war on terror is bernard louis or not. louis is famous for coining the term clash of civilizations. they want to turn this into a religious war. a war of islam against what they see, see the world of the unbelievers and in the world of the believers, obviously the americans come 1st. another person who was brought in is freed secaria at the time was the editor of the international edition of new suite of the war takes place and it goes well, which i think it probably will. you will also see at the end of this war that saddam hussein was indeed a murderous tire. and there will be stories that will be evidence and in that sense, you know, you will, you, will, this war will look better in history perhaps than it does today. 911 gave

a new lease and a new life to orientalist ideas and even oriented lists scribes. this man can world view of good and evil and away aloud for the bushes administration notion of this. lemme call to replace actually the space that the evil empire of the soviet union had occupied before. and so the idea really was that it was the role of the united states to go in and civilized these peoples. and what these intellectuals did is they wrap that up and made it palatable for the 21st century. it was a time when the line separating american journalism from those in power faded away or was willingly crossed november 29th, 2001 was a case in point. it is a day that has stuck to for read the car. and robert caplin, a writer who worked for the atlantic, both attended a meeting,

organized by the deputy secretary of defense, paul wolf with a gathering of hawks planning, a war and messengers who knew how to sell a brainstorming session that capital. and now would mit produced a forceful summary of pro war arguments at the time? the most significant talking point of the meeting was that the united states had to find a way to change the regime in iraq in supporting the iraq war. i build my own test as a realist and have never ceased to remind by readers of that over the last 20 years . i attended no other meetings about the iraq war. and it's correct to say that meeting such as this one, provided an intellectual veneer to the policy that emerged. what rankles me is that with a few exceptions, the people who were writing robustly in favor of the war in

iraq there, the editors of some of the most important publications in the united states. right now, they're my friends. i don't wanna single them out, but none of them paid a price not no $1.00. i supported the war because i was a journalist who had gotten too close to my story. i had made several trips in the 19 eighties and i had never experienced tyranny. like i did in saddam hussein's iraq, so i said to myself, what's worse than this? nothing could be worse than this. well, i found out in the years since the invasion that the anarchy in iraq after saddam cell was much, much worse than the tyranny under his rule. whether cod opt in or russia, patriotism, or addicted to the ratings that rise when broadcasters bang, the drums of too much of the american media bought into the big lies on iraqi

w. m. d. 's terrorist sleeper south than the us. and saddam hussein's fictional links to al qaeda new studios were flooded with ex military officers turned front men, weapons manufacturers urging us to attack iraq, presented as experts were more like profit here. and the pentagon played a coordinating role in getting them on the air. let's turn to retire general. joseph ralston also join me. general bernard, trainer, he's a retired marine corps, lieutenant general, air force lieutenant general tom mac. and ernie who is with us in our foxes, were briefing room. they were beltway band. that was former pentagon officials who make out like and that's when they go into the private sector, dark and, and then work for military contractor. this campaign is brilliant. it doesn't

involve any collateral damage, no villages, no urban warfare. and it was a scandal that david barstow of the new york times uncovered he brought in the minutes of these meetings between rumsfeld and the military experts who were going on tv was a completely orchestrated program inside the pentagon, giving talking points to the experts who would go on the media to shape public opinion. ah, anti war perspectives were marginalized, in some cases censor. the new york times was not the only us media outlet to turn into a conveyor belt for a false narrative. but because of its reach and influence at home and abroad, it helped set the news agenda. jill abramson was the times is washington bureau chief chris hedges as beat at the time was outside. the media was complicit in,

perpetuating this mit. you can't make a war on terror. that's what tut ology. it's impossible and yet we reacted we drank from that very dark elixir of nationalism. you have to remember after the attacks of 911, the bush administration, perpetrated on, on purpose this kind of fear. and how they ended up passing the patriot act in the 2002 authorization use military force actor. so you had fear, but then you also had american chauvinism. and that was a very deadly mix, that an essence blind in the new york times as an institution. it wasn't just one or 2 reporters, right after $911.00. i remember the director of the cia george tenant, calling me i was the washington bureau chief for the new york times. and on that call, enlisting my agreement that the times would not do

any reporting or disclose and of intelligence sources and methods. he just talked to the washing and posts, and he kicked off the networks and everybody had agreed. and the times ended up giving huge play some seriously flawed news stories that were based on for rocky defectors, who turned out to have very little information of value about the current state of affairs in iraq. me in 2004, the times published and editorial may a copa of sorts admitting that some of its coverage leading up to the iraq war was not as rigorous as it should have been. it said editors who should have been challenging reporters and pressing for more skepticism, were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper. the editorial ended with

a promise to continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight in the us military on leave, a massive series of air strikes on baghdad and other cities in iraq. and it was both shocking and awesome, as it was promised to be swept the nation after the events of $911.00. so much show that journalists felt that they could not ask critical questions. cbs anchor, dan, rather who went on the letterman show and who said george bush is the president. he makes the decisions. and you know, there's just one american wherever he wants me to tell me where and he'll make the call. talk about media that have completely given up their autonomy, fox news, and rupert murdoch's empire with consistently in favor of the war on iraq. in fact, all his editors about a 180 of them took

a pro war. busy line in the lead up to the iraq war one, oregon saddam begins. we expect every american to support our military. and if they can't do that, to shut on color or audiences were led to believe the iraq war would be over in monkeys, if not weeks. and months our patients will be one of our strengths that american troops would not end up meyer there. or in afghanistan, which the us invaded to hunt down to summer. been loudon and al qaeda. and where a decade after ben loggins assassination, american forces remained. when the biden administration finally and the afghan establish, and last month, american news companies featured many of the same voices. obviously, this is an unmitigated disaster column. we did our dc and defense contract brown that had advocated for the invasions and the subsequent occupation were now arguing

that the us was leading afghans at the mercy of the taliban. and abandoning american interest on time, you know, 911 also birth to a new generation of security centric films and television shows produced to trade unfair. the pentagon and the cia have long had an informal symbiotic relationship with supplying movie makers with military hardware or turning the spy agencies headquarters in virginia into a film set in exchange for the state friendly screenplays. 2 months after 911 in november of 2147 talk, hollywood executives met with bush advisor, karl rove in los angeles, to discuss patriotic plot lines. the industry could crash rove later said it was

about showing that the war in afghanistan was not against the law, but against terrorism. that distinction would be lost on most filmmakers, and eventually their audiences. there was 24. it's centered around a counter terror prism age and by the name of jack bower. and every season is based on 24 hours of trying to avert this terrorist plot. i walker ball torturing people, something killing them. but the audience is led to believe that he has no choice, but to do all the real quick things. so that show was fantastic, a popular and played a very big role in terms of creating a terrorism mindset. season for the show 24 had an ad campaign with a muslim family that looked very suburban america please me or not.

i can't even tell you the shock i felt when i saw that i'm here to tell you that i think that many people die because of it was thrown up being dropped because we are the unionized countries i invaded because we are the human eyes because people do not have empathy with brown people. the whole land, which took over from 24 round from 2011 to 2020 and marked a shift from the kind of shoot him a cowboy narrative off 24 into obama smarter war on terror. all the muslim characters on the various and terrible, except for one of the agent who is an iranian american, who proves her loyalty by being extremely patriotic. but your current state of mind

makes your loyalty to him and to the agency of fairy live issue. covered director not to worry, she's a good muslim, right. that showed how cultural knowledge of the enemy, good intelligence and diplomacy were important in terms of winning the war on terror. of course it also justified extra judicial killing. it justified torture and all the rest of it. so now you've got the air for the muslim who is a c h and but nobody stopped and asked for hold it. you know, is this now human? i thing as are you making us, you know, like everybody else when you get far, speakers with experience and international finance. i have to wake him. we tell him we really those about so damaging. it was for american coaches to be center, but not a single movie about how damaging it was for the people down after $911.00,

any nuanced discussion of the islam of the world, or what it means to be muslim is vanquished. and what we get, in fact, are just these empty slogans and cliches that take the place of real understanding or knowledge. so when you get films like american sniper butcher, you've got to say kid on the avenue, the entire premise of the film that these people are terrorists who savagely attack innocence. they're not defending their own country from invasion, kind of mind to move. it feeds very pernicious stereotypes. there are very few films that actually show a nuanced portrayal of what context make tears impossible what drives young men to become tears. there are examples of film by morgan. maybe i use voices of god.

is the policy in film? paradise? no. it's not a coincidence that these homes are not american. these films show the complexity of the socio economic and geo political climate that push certain young men into the hands of terrorists organizations, scientists then of course no films are commodity. right? and these are multinational corporations that are interested in profit, and they want to produce what sells in a way. but oftentimes, it rhymes with the official discourse and narrative of the state.

after so many years of you need dimensional reductive depictions of error muslims and the middle east audiences have been conditions to expect certain kind of bad guys. i stopped in the blood was those one and it sprayed everywhere which may explain why the new york times. incidentally, winnings podcast, 2018. california was such as the central character who went by the elliot abu, who told the times he wasn't islamic states soldier and furnished the paper with tales of violence. and barbara had multiple times put him across to actually the dagger in his heart. the podcast was downloaded millions of time, but the story turned out to be a hoax. abu safe was real name is sharon challenge. he is

a fraud scientist who sold a fictional tale 2 times reporter, meaning color market one. she would eventually, when a peabody award for the paper was forced to admit it got it wrong. blaming and institutional failure. 16 years after acknowledging the failings in its post 9 coverage, promising to be more rigorous, the new york times had done it again. but the podcast remains online with this screen. the times has concluded that the episodes of cow feet that presented town to his claims did not meet our standards for accuracy. and the times stood by telemarketing. his journalism has been called into question before describing her final report. so since muslims are demonized it's, it's very easy for the media to embrace stories,

however false that cater to that stereotype of muslims. and the new york times did precisely this, when i put out the caliph, that based on testimony given by an imposter, i mean, it was completely untrue, but it catered to that stereotype. it was lurid. it was salacious. it was audio snuff, poor people being crucified and stabbed in the heart, and the blood was everywhere to help it. i just do, i'm a fake killer. now. i didn't give him a chance to repent, stabbed him. but because of the long denigration of muslims with both within popular culture and within the media, it was believable. those stereotypes that play unfair are uneasy. sal for the politicians, filmmakers, and news networks that acted as travel agents for the war on terror discourse, political leaders, the world over have adopted that language,

in some cases have copied and pasted the legislation to surveil. and ultimately. ready their own opposition? i speak to someone who was always against this. sandra jean, i always wanted to see the end of dictatorship. but i, like many iraqis did not want to see the destruction of an entire society and the dismantling of institutions that took 100 years to bill. we did not have terrorism before 2003. we did not have car bombs. we not have malicious running around killing people. the war on terror and the atmosphere it created has generated so much unnecessary fear amongst so many citizens. so it's become a very convenient tool to completely crush any kind of legitimate political opposition

. the fear narrative has become far more pervasive since $911.00. yeah. it was a terrifying and then the whole country watch thousands of people die on that day. but we remained in a perpetual state of, of the year. there were always new threats that were being played. one of the key accomplishments, i think of the war on terror is really to create a world that is a lot scarier in people's mind than it is in reality. what is really alarming for people who study the war on terror and who have a sense of the actual threat posed by islamist or jihad? the scrooge is the extent to which this threat has been overblown and over inflated

not just in the united states, but around the world to justify various courses. policies. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. remember, we are the most watch, spied upon photograph, monitored population in human history. and when your government watches you 24 hours a day, you can't use the word liberty. and that's the relationship of a master and slave. and that is the real legacy of 911. the global citizens persuaded by political leaders and news organizations to fear unseen enemies have surrendered some of their basic civil rights in the name of staying safe. in september of 2001, the bush administration called the downing of the world trade center, an attack on freedom. however, 2 decades later, you've come to realize that the actual sustained attack on freedom lies in so

much of what has happened says it is a war on to dress up the skies as a war on terror, who it show the world and change the us forever but after a vengeful war and africanist on how much has changed and at what cost? al jazeera looks back on 20 years since the $911.00 attacks. one 3rd of all the food produce is wasted with tens of thousands of put outlet towel in south korea has been transformed from west to offender is the bill the leader in foot recycling either reporting on how your technology is making this possible in

kenya, i mean the farmer and santi, what he did, the oil life depended, was life for you, or just ah, the 1st batch of aide lands and i've got to stand a couple airport reopen, it's for commercial flights. ah, i know about this, and this is just a lie from bill hobb also coming up, assessing the damage in the u. s. for clean up off to how to can either is complicated by problems with housing and infrastructure. the state of emergency extended and democratic republic of congo, hundreds, dad and half a 1000000 have been forced from their homes. i'm cracking down on china's.
