those attending the ceremonies. he's not expected to speak, but earlier posted a video calling for americans to reclaim the spirit of cooperation that followed 911. use what makes us who we are. america is best to me. that's the central lesson of september. 11th. is that at our most vulnerable in the push and follow all that makes us human in the battle for the soul? american unity is our greatest strength. my colleague, emily angry and looked back at how it all unfolded. on september 11th, 2001. it began as a clear, sunny tuesday morning along americans east coast, just before 8 o'clock on september 11, 2001 american airlines flight 11 takes off from boston, followed by united airlines flight 175, a short while later american airlines flight 77, depart from washington,
2:03 pm
dulles airport and united airlines flight 93 from newark, new jersey. at 46 am flight 11 crashes into the north tower of the world trade center in new york. people assume it's a terrible accident. more than a 1001st responders head to the same, 17 minutes later flight one at 75 crashes into the south tower. president bush is informed that america is under attack american, a line slide $77.00, then crashes into the pentagon. authorities ground all flights across the united states, but one more plane was still in the united. 93 was headed for washington dc. possibly the white house capital building or other targets. after burning for 56 minutes, the south tower of the world trade center collapses. morning networks is showing these pictures live to millions of americans. the passengers and crew on united 93
2:04 pm
the power, the hijackers and the plane crashes into a field in shank fil pennsylvania. at 10, 28 am the north tower of the world trade center also collapses. nearly 3000 people were killed, including citizens for more than 90 countries. the us quickly blamed al qaeda for the coordinated attacks and launched a military campaign in afghanistan to target the leadership and training camps. rob reynolds looks at the aftermath of the events on page one, a whisper in the president's ear set in motion actions that changed the us and the world. 3 days after the attack, president george bush stood a top the rubble of lower manhattan, and promised retribution. i know the rest of the people who
2:05 pm
were all of us. the plane immediately fell on osama bin laden's tie the organization based in afghanistan, which had already carried out several deadly attacks on us targets abroad. less than a month after the attacks, the u. s. began military action in afghanistan. been logged in the skate, but was track down in pakistan nearly a decade later, the united states has conducted and operation that killed or some been latin, the leader of volcano. but even with bin laden dead, the war in afghanistan dragged on for another 10 years ending in a taliban victory. the september 11th attacks were a profound shock with images playing out on t. v. in the aftermath wall makers rushed to overhaul national security laws with little or no debate. the events of 911 really frightened people enough and i don't think many people ever read the patriot act and realized really how
2:06 pm
profoundly it changed what government is able to do in terms of tracking and conducting surveillance on american citizens. for many americans, the closest contact with the new enhanced security state came at the air or to the magnetometers. the metal detector, the x ray machines, you had to start having your id scrutinized and then taking off your shoes, the limitations on liquids. and then finally, in 2010, the full body scanner, things that few americans would have contemplated before now were widely accepted. the government initially was intercepting virtually all of the metadata on all of our emails and telephone conversations without any warrants. this was just drag net surveillance, the invasion of iraq in 2003 over through saddam hussein, who was later captured and executed. but it produced no weapons of mass destruction
2:07 pm
. 200000 rockies, and more than 4000 us troops were killed. the naval base at guantanamo bay, cuba became a prison, where so called enemy combatants were held indefinitely. some remain there to this day. a color coded system of threats was introduced, keeping citizens on edge. that was the goal, frighten the american people, you know, inflate the risk factor amelion fold and then p 0. well, we have to accept this, because otherwise they'll be bodies on the sidewalks and on the streets and everywhere else, the abuse of detainees by us soldiers at abu ghraib prison in iraq, appalled many in the u. s. and around the globe. but at the same time, in the u. s. veneration of the military grew, we have sort of fetishizing the military over the last 20 years. we have no idea of the long term impact of having people who have grown up entirely during the war
2:08 pm
period or people whose entire adult life has been serving in a war zone for presidents and 2 wars later, the u. s. is a far different country from the one that existed 20 years ago. rob rentals al jazeera, our next spring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how kate, who's in new york, where the 1st commemorations are set to begin in less than 2 hours. kimberly ground 0 right behind you. what's it like there today? and what is expected? yeah, it's already a very somber mood here at ground 0. there are going to be a number of living presidents that will be attending these commemoration events. we will be expecting not only the current president joe biden, but also a former president clinton obama, and also as well. we are expecting the president who was
2:09 pm
really in charge of everything when it happened on $911.00, and that will be george w bush. now. notably, who will not be here is donald trump, which is a bit of a surprise, given the fact that he was living in new york at the time of these events. but what we expect is that there will be no public speeches from these presidents. they will be here really just to commemorate the event and to remember what happened on that day and to offer the support to the not only victim families, but also to the 1st responders. we do know that there will be, as part of the ceremony, there will be 6 moment of silence to commemorate the major events of the impacts of the planes, the crashing of the plane, and also the downing of the towers. now this is just the 1st stop for joe biden. he will also be going to meet up with his vice president comm, la harris and shakespeare, pennsylvania,
2:10 pm
where the sight of the crash occurred in the field of that one plane that was headed for washington. d. c. and then the president will also be going to the pentagon, which of course, also experience loss and devastation. so this is going to be a moment for these presidents to not only help commemorate these events, but also try and bring about some of the unity that the country felt after these events. that certainly is not present today and not have a reflection in the us today. kimberly how americans approaching this anniversary is a somber anniversary. there is no doubt about it. there really isn't an american or even people around the world who were living during that time. and can remember it that, that isn't going to feel some sort of emotion and reflection on this day. and that's really what taking place today. what we know is that
2:11 pm
a lot of people are not only reflecting on the nearly 3000 people that were killed as a result of these attacks, but also on what america lost as a result of them. this brought in, as we've discussed, a surveillance state, not just in the united states, but also outside the united states. the iraq invasion, the gannett can invasion by the united states and americans are still hurting from all of that because they see so much of it is so senseless and so wrong. and so this isn't a, that serves up a lot of emotion for a lot of different reasons for a lot of different people. and so each family member, each victim, each person who witnessed this on their television screens will be reflecting in a different way. i can tell you very quickly as i was at ground 0 last night watching and walking amongst the reflecting pools, i saw a number of people weeping, leaving flowers,
2:12 pm
and really just remembering this day and how personal it is for them. and that's how most americans will be looking at this a, it's a time to remember the devastation, but there's also the hope that things can get better as well. kimberly, thank you very much for the moment. kimberly how kit near ground 0 in new york, where commemorations will begin in about a half an hour. no, actually an hour and a half to mark the 20th. since the $911.00 attacks will have special coverage here on out. yes sir. now the $911.00 attacks dead to a 20 year war in afghanistan as us forces and their allies thought to target kind of fighters and really bad, which was accused of harboring them. tens of thousands of afghans were killed and many lies turned upside down. let's bring in charge, transferred. now, who is live from afghanistan to capital campbell, charlie 911, led directly to the collapse of the taliban regime, which had rolled up. can't stand before the attacks today, the taliban, back in power in afghanistan. how are people in afghanistan reflecting on this
2:13 pm
anniversary? i think everybody certainly that we've spoken to is, is reflecting with a sense of relief that this 20 year old war is now over. but there's great trepidation and anxiety about the future. with this new tyler by an interim government in power, despite the promises that government has made, not only to afghans but to the international community about protecting human rights, giving women a role in society, for example, allowing them to work promising not to allow. i've got to stand to be used as a base for groups to launch attacks on foreign countries. i mean, the impact of the last 20 years on this country has been immense. as you say, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed in the fighting thousands of guns soldiers, government forces and oversee i like us idolized troops,
2:14 pm
but happy and also some very positive things that have happened as well. and that's important to recognise we have seen relative steady on the growth over the last 20 years. that have been, for example, special figures when it comes to education reform or girls attending school. they have been the beginnings of if you like, private, private investment. so that have been important gains made and that must not be forgotten. we've been speaking to a number of people today intolerable about their experiences of the last 20 years and several of insult whose homes was destroyed during fighting between us led forces in the tolerable 40 years ago. his brother, one of his songs, was killed. he and his family have lived in this camp for internally displaced
2:15 pm
people in cobble and ever since he blames the united states and its allies for the pain. they've been jord. yes, shallow colored coming at us in the past 20 years. we've suffered so much that at times with hardly been able to eat for days or atkins, have been through terrible hardships, not bombardments, fighting our health destroyed the war last, not so long because we are africans, we will fight for our country in central cobble today. totally bon fighters, god form a government buildings and abandoned foreign embassies. the challenges, the movement faces off the what it describes as victory in a fight for national sovereignty are immense. it's been 20 years since the $911.00 attacks and the soon after us that invasion to hunt down osama bin loud and remove the taliban for power. then followed what the taliban describes 2 decades of foreign occupation. the foreign forces have gone baton about back in power and the un says that afghan stan is facing a humanitarian,
2:16 pm
an economic catastrophe. this is the old american embassy, once a hub of cia and military planning. one of the most important centers of us foreign policy in the world. now, it's just an empty shell. hammer goose was 24 when us led coalition forces invaded . he is scared about what the future holds. so look, i look at the moment in the last 20 years, my hopes change, but now they've been left behind all afghans. so we'll get close the rest of the world when the americans were here. but now we have to wait and see again what the future will green despite these doubts, meat says he wants the world to give the tale by chance. mistletoe taliban oh no, no. oh my life i've experienced only war. i just want to sleep with ease. i just want to wake up with no fear. i'm tired of saying good bye to my family and i leave for work. afraid i'll never see them again,
2:17 pm
but they're not. this is one of many graveyards on hillside surrounding campbell. here are buried. some of the estimated 50000 afghan civilians killed in the last 20 years. that is our goal says he also wants the international community to accept the taliban. he wants education for his children who are born into war. he wants the chance for them all to start their lives again. and so, so much is dependent on the international community excepting the tal about. and it's not about sticking to their commitments, the promises that they've made, as i say on human rights protecting women ab, i don't say not letting this country, for example, be used as a, as a base for terror attacks to be launched against other countries. the u. n is warning that if aid is not released, that a currently being frozen because it's all
2:18 pm
a bond. because of this all about retail and un saying that if that a is not unfrozen, potentially was 100 percent of the population of afghanistan could be in poverty. by around about this time next year. so in terms of what every day afghans of thinking, they're thinking, well, we're very relieved. i got the war is over, but there are huge anxieties and challenges ahead. charlie, thank you very much for that chance. transferred line for his fair in campbell. now new york times investigation has revealed. the u. s. may have mistakenly targeted an aid worker in its last fair talking to ganeth stan, 10 people including 7 children, were killed in the jones drive that was targeting. i still find it in couple in august, charlotte bellis has more in that from campbell. in that joint strike, the pentagon said that it had i for bombers who were planning an eminent attack on the airport. we know that civilians were killed in that but now this investigation has, has you. cctv footage has talked to more than

2:26 pm
earlier this month, pre faced his 3rd no confidence. he passed easily. so he's using that. but for the 1st time there are a handful of defectors in his own political party. he realizes that if he doesn't allow more input from others who are actually supporting his power, it could become a problem. and this time you could clearly see that he was not that, you know, even like many said to the base that we have before this time. it was really sacred, while the number of defectors within the prime minister's party are small, they still send a signal. but there is no question that the number of protesters is rapidly growing, including some who used to support the prime minister to not ton of kit um the way was part of the political movement that led to the qu, that catapulted proved into power 7 years ago. but he's now part of the street protest seeking to kick the pm out of office. he was blinded in one eye during a protest armada, 100 percent certain. that people's will fall. true democracy has never been
