a degree or 2 above where you should be through the tropics of africa, some pretty good rain falling through the democratic republic of congo toward the western portion of the country. and as we venture a bit further toward the south were seen just a week disturbance pull into the western cape. so cape town, we'll see some showers, temperatures looking good in johannesburg at 25 degrees. but unfortunately for cape town, because of the south wind, your temperature is really stuck around 15 degrees, which is below average. that's it for me will cease in the when freedom of the press is under threat. you know how you just cause thought genuinely about your thought toward the baking government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here just some of access port shift the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a and the little pretext,

the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered, the listing post on the just when you break on wednesday, it would be a largest fire in california history when people need to be heard, any people who are writing, they don't even know what i am with exclusive interviews and report. i'll just be around teens on the ground with intensifying rain people with your fear that these are temporary solutions to when you move award winning documentaries and live ah the

hello again. i missed you today and let's remind you about top stories here. the sound memorial services are currently being held in the us to mog 20 is 3000 people. nearly 3000 people died in those 911 attacks in new york. the fast minute silence was held at 8 46 am local time. when the 1st plane crashed into the world trade center town grew from ground, 0 and a half, and president joe biden is now on his way to shank phil and pennsylvania commemoration said began on friday evening. those who died on the claim to be hijacked on september, the 11th and crushed when some of the passengers tried to overpower the hijacking. me not,

i can see that memorial. the insurance still is ongoing. my colleague, emily, and when takes a look back at how it all unfolded on that day, september 11th, back in 2000 to one. it began as a clear, sunny tuesday morning, along american 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, dulles airport. and united airlines flight 93 from newark, new jersey. at 46 am a flight 11 crashes into the north tower of the world trade center in new york. people are games. it's a terrible accident. more than a 1001st respond his 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 930 the power, the high jackets 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. while after those

911 attacks, the u. s. quickly blamed al qaeda for the coordinated attacks and launched a military campaign in afghanistan to target the groups leadership and it's training camps there. rob reynolds takes a look at the aftermath of the residents in a whisper in the president's ear set in motion actions that changed the u. s. and the world. 3 days after the attacks president george bush stood a top the rubble of lower manhattan and promised retribution. i know the rest of the people who were all of us. the plane immediately fell on osama bin laden's of kai, 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 tracked down in pakistan. nearly a decade later, the united states has conducted nomination that killed or some been lawton, 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 back and realized really how 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 secu pretty state came at the airport,

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 . 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 a war 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, all that memorial service in shank. so pennsylvania is ongoing at the moment we're hearing from some of the families of the victims of united flight 93. we do expect to hear from former president george w bush, shortly him will be bringing you that live here on out of here, cussing the ultimate sacrifice. let's take you to some other news. in the meantime, at least 20 people has been killed in myanmar and clashes between troops and a local armed group in the west and mcgray region. the country has been in turmoil since february's crew and military crack down on descent has now killed more than a 1000 people. and some areas people have formed, local defense forces arming themselves with homemade weapons to fight back against government soldiers. or cross the border. more protests upon to thailand, calling for the prime minister to step down prior to nurture has now survived his 3rd verse of no confidence, but his troubles are still far from over. scott highly reports now from bangkok,

with his political position borne out of a 2014 qu, thailand's prime minister, pro 10 or char, is now facing more opposition as he enters the last 18 months of his elected term. this discontent, stoked by accusations that his administration bundled the delayed vaccine roll out and failed to contain the country's most severe covered 1900 wave that started in april. the simmering pro reform movement that took root before the pandemic has returned in force. now protesters are more focused on ousting the prime minister earlier this month, pre faced his 3rd no confidence up. 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 its power, it could become a problem. and this time you could clearly see that he was not that, you know,

either like many sites at the base that we had 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 stronger. and also, just to really serve the people you really have to listen to all the voices law, but with a post constitution written to give the former general and his ruling power pressure party, a strong advantage in parliament. most alleys are confident his rule and majority control will stay in place until the next general election in early 2023 kong. and

there was some issue before the recent censor debate. some m p. 's were not happy about the situation, but the lady of the potty general wants one mentioned herself an issue. and every one will follow the parties guidelines, why? the p m says he won't resign and it appears that more protests on the streets. and even from his own party will have little impact. it seems the main pressure he's concerned with is from the power where for now, he has the king support. got hyler al jazeera, thank well staying in asia and shares and the chinese property giant ever ground have slumps again after 2 credit downgrades just in the past week. they have been growing concerns with the company could default on its massive debts and there are warnings that ever grounds faith could have ripple effects on markets across the wild. katrina, you reports now from beijing ever grant is one of the biggest real estate conglomerates in china. it employs 200000 people nationwide and even

a chinese football team. but the hung listed giant has become one of the most indebted companies in the world with more than $300000000000.00 worth of liabilities. and it's struggling to pay it back sparking fears of a default that could send trends through china's economy. it's not just the property business, so it also has a new energy branch, logistic branch. it has business in almost every major city and many county in china. evergreen has suspended interest payments to some lenders and delayed payments to others. this week, ratings agencies, fish, and moodies, downgraded its credit status. company shares fell by 10 percent on thursday. these have plummeted by 75 percent. the beginning, the year the china can be said to have 2 property market in major cities like beijing prices are rising currency d, the average 2 bedroom apartment costs more than $1300000.00. but in smaller chinese

cities doesn't or just the 5 housing and one thing investing too much in those areas has led to many of ever grown debt. tighter regulations in china's financial markets have also made it difficult for the 3rd to raise cash. the employees have protested outside ever grant officers saying the salaries haven't been paid. chinese authorities met with company management last month, demanding their resolve its debt. but analysts say the government is unlikely to let emigrant go bankrupt. they do not want to bill out all those bad behaviors, but still it will be too strong signal if it actually failed. so i think there will be some effort to go out at least a portion of every business. and maybe strategic investors will

be encouraged the private sector trying to take over the business. every grant is renegotiating payment deadlines at banks and other creditors. more than 1500000 home buyers waiting for their properties to be completed by the fab holding their breath. katrina, you out a 0 paging. oh, well let's now take you live to shang thrill, pennsylvania and our ongoing special coverage of the commemoration of $911.00 across the united states. former president george w bush is about to speak. and at that 911 memorial in shank, phil, it's obviously been 20 years since those coordinated attacks that killed nearly 3000 people across the country. he's about to be speaking and let's listen to order her condolences and it shows america to the families and passengers. a flight 90 degree president bush is finally remembered by everyone.

over to mary taylor $93.00. i asked that i created the national oil warning for 2002. please welcome to ford or credit united states. the the thank you very much. rather than vice president cheney governor wolf, secretary, holland, and distinguished guests 20 years ago. we all in different ways in places. but all of the same. all

right. and the change for the world was last with the cartridge and then inquire with emitting voices. that would never be heard of these last remaining pressures who are country and infinitely precious. to me today, remember your last sure star. and we are men and women and you had a love so long. and so for those 2 young to recall that day, it is hard to describe the mixed feelings we experience. there was hara, there were har, j, a little destruction. and all, at the very read and kindness that rose could meet strangers

in a solid, charity agreed to gresh in the mutual aid or strangers in the solidarity of grief and grace. the actions of an enemy revealed the spirit of a people and we were proud of our wounded nation. and these memories, the passengers and crew of flight 93, must always have an honored place. here the intended targets became the instruments of rescue. and many who are now alive o. busy a vast, unconscious, dead to the defiance displayed in the skies above this field. it would be a mistake to idolize the experience of those terrible events. all the many people could initially see was the brute, randomness of death. all that many could feel was honor and suffering. all that many could hear was god's terrible silence. there are many who still struggle

with a lonely pain that cuts deep within and those fateful hours. we learned other lessons as well. we saw that americans were vulnerable, but not fragile, that they possess a core of strength that survives the worst that life can bring. we learn that bravery is more common than we imagined emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death. we vividly felt how every hour with our loved ones was a temporary and holy gift. and we found that even the longest days and many of us have tried to make spiritual sense of these events. there is no simple explanation for the mix of providence and human will. that such the direction of our lives. would comfort can come from

a different sort of knowledge. after wandering long and lost in the dark, many had found they were actually walking step by step toward grace. as a nation or adjustments had been profound, many americans struggled to understand why an enemy would haters with such zeal. the security measures incorporated into our lives are both sources of comfort and reminders of our loaner ability. and we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within. there is a little cultural overlap between, via an extremely abroad and violent extreme is at home, but then there's a stain for, for them in their disregard for human life. in their determination to,

to file national symbols. they are children of the same foul spirit. and it is our continuing duty to confront them after $911.00, millions of brave americans step forward and volunteered to serve in the armed forces. the military measures taken over the last 20 years to pursue the dangers that their source have led to debate. but one thing is, certain we all and assurance to all who have fought our nations. most recent battles. let me speak directly to veterans and people in uniform the cause you pursued the call of duty as the noblest america has to offer. you have shielded your fellow citizen from danger. you have defended the beliefs of your country and advanced the rights of the downtrodden. you have been the face of hope and mercy in

dark places. you have been a force for good in the world. nothing that is followed. nothing can tarnish your honor or diminish your accomplishments to you and to the honored dead. our country is forever grateful. the difference in the weeks and months following the 911 attacks, i was proud to lead an amazing resilient united people. when it comes to the unity of america, those days seem distant from our own malign, for seemed at work in our common life. that turns every disagreement into an argument and every argument into a clash of cultures. so much of our politics has become a naked appealed anger, fear and resentment that leads us worried about our nation and our future. together

. i come without explanations or solutions. i can only tell you what i've seen on america's day of trial and grief. i saw millions of people instinctively grab for a neighbor's hand and rally to the cause of one another. that is the america. i know things at a time when religious bigotry might have flowed freely. i saw americans reject prejudice and embrace people of muslim faith. that is a nation. i know at a time when nativism could have stirred hatred and violence against people perceived as outsiders. i saw america reform their welcome to immigrants and

refugees. that is a nation. i know at a time when shown viewed, the rising generation is individualistic and decadent. so young people embrace and ethic of service and rise to selfless action. that is a nation. i know this is not mere estallion, it is a true version of ourselves. it is what we have been and what we can be again. 20 years ago, terrorist shows a random group of americans on a routine flight to be collateral damage in a spectacular act of terror. the 33 passengers and 7 crew a flight 93 could have been any group of citizens selected by fate. in

a sense, they stood in force all. the terrorists soon discovered that a random group of americans is an exceptional group of people facing an impossible circumstance. they comforted their loved ones by phone, braced each other for action, and defeated the designs of evil. these americans were brave, strong, and united in ways that shocked the terrace, but should not surprise any of us. this is a nation we know and whenever we need hope and inspiration, we can look to disguise and remember, god bless you that will be your pictures from the same still in pennsylvania for president

george w bush has been speaking as part of the commemoration of the attacks on the us that took place 20 years ago. he said these lives remain precious to our country and they remain precious to you. he was talking specifically about a flight 93, which was hijacked by 5 men. i'm. it was directed towards washington dc, but the passengers on board that fight managed to attempt to try to take over the flight. the flight then subsequently crashed and to the ground at that side. i want to talk to alan fisher, who's joining us from shank spelled very subdued message that came from the former president bush there. but nevertheless, acknowledging the fact the bravery of the passengers on that slight and saying that the passengers and crew. there were 40 of them, they should have no place in history. as i said before,

many people believe that's with the fight back against george bush, a so called war on terror began when a group of passengers and crew decided to vote on whether or not they should try and take back the plane. and they did that because they had the attacks in new york and also the one in pentagon. what was was interesting that as well as being comforted in cheap and paying tribute to those who are on board the flight and the families who have more of them, you have loved them for so long. he said, he also said that america was united in the days after the attack, and he lamented the fact that politics in the united states has become so partisan . and he talked about how they encountered a group of random americans on the flight. when the hijackers took over flight, 93, which was due to fly from new york to san francisco, a normal flight on a normal day, as anyone would say. but he said, these random group of americans proved to be exceptional. and he said,

that's what americans are. it's important that he talks about what is happening to the clearly expressing not an explicit terms, but think america can be better than the weight as at the moment than not everything has to be a battle between left and right. not everything has to be an issue for culture wars . he talked about how people came together and served. and he spoke about the service that people gave after $911.00. he said that they had done what a medical needed them to do, which was to protect the homeland, to protect american values and to keep american safe. and for that he paid tribute to all the veterans who signed up after $911.00 and served enough ghana, stan, and also staffed and iraq. this was george bush talking from the heart. we knew from sources that he is unhappy with the way that the trump presidency seemed to make everything a battle. this was him expressing his concern that america can and should be better

. and perhaps hoping that on this, on the best of the 20th anniversary of one of america's darkest days, that perhaps will be a recalculation recalibration. and perhaps america will look at itself differently and perhaps stretch the hand over to people who being political opponents and hope for something better. as alan fisher bringing a subsidy from shanks fill in pennsylvania, and thank you very much i you're joining, i'll just say that we're here with continuing special coverage marking 20 years since the deadliest attacks on us soil. nearly 3000 people were killed on september . the 11th 2001, remember asians are taking place to remember those who lost their lives that day.
