12:03 am
which traced to put prints of the twin towers, family members of the victims gathered with leaders and 1st responders for what is now the 20th time. remembering the nearly 3000 people who died on september 11th, 2001 to decades is long enough that some children and grandchildren and the victims have no memory of that day. for mike lowe who lost his daughter, the anniversary brings back the pain. these 20 years have felt life both a long time and a short time. and as we recite the names of those, we lost. my memory goes back. so that terrible day, when it felt like an evil spectre had descended on our world. but it was also a time when many people acted above and beyond. the ordinary moments of silence marked the time the plains hit. and when the north and south towers collapsed, michael into silence,
12:04 am
broken by the customary reading of the names of the victims, a list. so long it takes hours to complete us. president joe biden at ground 0 stood alongside to other former president. the horrors of $911.00 didn't end on september. $12000.00 more died from exposure to toxins at the site. many of them, 1st responders remembered with their own memorial and thousands more as a result of the united states, more on terra with the withdrawal of our troops service members from afghanistan. here recently it's really just kind of full circle and it's hard, wendy norman as a florida firefighter who volunteered in new york in the weeks after our last deployment, a 220, helped me back. you don't want to call it a celebration. so it's called the remember, that's what we do. as a firefighter recently retired from florida,
12:05 am
it hit home in here and work in the pile and beside the brothers and sisters from all over the world that came, firefighter dennis shown came from new mexico to participate in a fundraiser. this is the day to honor ram. remember the guys i mean, they left 5 families, they left behind their brothers in arms in shanks, full, pennsylvania. the president and 1st lady laid reese where flight united. 93 was brought down on route to washington before it could hit another potential target. george w bush, us president at the time of the attacks recalled that day and sacrifices made sense . there were shocked at the city of abel and gratitude for their wisdom and decency that are posted. and there are 5 of the 1st responders in the mutual aid of strangers in the solidarity of grief and grace. the actions of
12:06 am
anatomy revealed the spirit of a people. yeah. the pentagon still grappling with the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan, the focus was on the victims and the day that started at all the countries longest war now over perhaps. but america still vowing never to forget. september 11th, 2001. kristen salumi al jazeera new york or gabriel and his own though is live in new york for us over looking ground. 0 gabriel, the usa and new york, of course mark 911. every year, but do you think that today felt different because it is now the 20th anniversary? i think so. i think 20 years it's given a lot of people time to reflect 20 years to decades of course. and it does like this was a little different. listen, this ceremony that was held here at ground 0,
12:07 am
it's the same ceremony. they've been here holding every single year. it's very similar every single year and they do that on purpose. they want it there to be some uniformity to remembering that day. and the same goes to the ceremony and shanks, bill, pennsylvania, and the pentagon as well. but like you said, i think that to this year, because 2 decades gave people reason to reflect even more about the last 20 years. what happened to then and what has happened in the past 2 decades, but also it comes on the heels of the u. s. completely withdrawing from afghanistan . of course, the country that the u. s. went to war on an occupied 20 years ago. so i think that is added to the reflection if you will. the former president, bill clinton was here. brock obama current president, joe biden. george w bush was at the ceremony in pennsylvania, who was absent from here. former president donald trump. he chose not to attend the formal ceremony. instead, he came after it was over to the ground. 0 very briefly spoke to some police and
12:08 am
firefighters, and use the opportunity to denigrate joe biden, in the pull out from afghanistan. but beyond that, i think there's a lot of focus on how many people died here, but also how many people died in subsequent wars throughout the world in the last 20 years, words of the so called war on terror, but here just to ground 020 percent of the 2753 people died here on september 11th from abroad. there were 59 people from the united kingdom, 39 people from india, 26 from the dominican republic and 25 or from japan just to give you an idea. so well, a lot of americans are really take this day to remember every one that was lost. it's important also point out how this the events on 911 affected so many other people around the world. lee gabriel is on the with the latest from new york,
12:09 am
gave thank you. now memorial lands also been held at the pentagon where a plan where a plane crashed into the west side of the complex. in the last hour president joe biden and vice president common harris attended a ceremony to honor those killed. 184 people died when american airlines flight 77 hit the headquarters of the department of defense. laura, earlier in the day a us flag was unfurled and draped over the tend to going during a commemoration ceremony secretary of defense lloyd austin, gave an address honoring those who died in the attack as well as us service members . and the memorial was also held in shanks for pennsylvania were flight united. 93 crashed 20 years ago. alan fisher was there. i mean very few people would have ever had the shank school that hadn't been for 911. and the bravery of 40 members of the
12:10 am
crew and the passengers who on board, on you in 1903, who called their friends to tell them that the plane had been hijacked. and they had the news from new york and from the pentagon and realized this plane wasn't going to line. this was a suicide mission. and so in those few moments they bought it, bought it to this to try and take bike control of the plate. george bush called it, and i said that this was a hollywood or not but he talked as well about how the united states to come together him to be and said that it was something that was missing from the us at the moment he was critical of those who would see every issue as divisive to step away from someone you would consider a neighbor or a friend. he condemned violent extremists both abroad and home. he said, although there was no cultural overlap, they were children of the same fellow spirit and he urged people to come together. he said he had no solution that he spoke to those who served after 911. instead,
12:11 am
they sat with the best interests of america at heart. so the sacrifice in his view wasn't in vain. and not theme of unity was picked up by vice president, comma la horace. she talked about how the country needed to come together and have it done. so, so many times when faced with challenges in the past. well to discuss how the events of september 11th changed, the us were joined by colon clark. he's the director of research and policy at the sou, find group, a global intelligence and security consultancy group. he joins us via skype from new york, so thank you so much for joining us here and al jazeera. well, let's start with that. then that question. how did the events of 911 that change the us in the 20 years since that date? yeah, well 1st of all, thanks for having me. and i'd like to start by expressing my sympathy to all of those impacted by 911. not only all the victims here in the united states,
12:12 am
but all those abroad. and it's a very somber day here in new york. i would say that, you know, 911 really was the catalyst for the global war on terrorism. we know what happened after that. you know, the united states invaded afghanistan, 2003 invaded iraq, and has been essentially fighting a non stop war against al qaeda, the islamic state, and g hottest organizations all around the world ever since. has made many mistakes along the way, including ones that have been well documented, like guantanamo abu grave enhanced interrogation techniques and others. i guess for younger viewers who don't remember, it's difficult to overestimate, just put an impact that that they had and the fear that it really so to the hearts, not just of the united states, but the west in general. and president bush's 1st duty, i guess,
12:13 am
was to keep the us safe to stop anything like that happening again. will plenty years on, do you think the u. s. is safer? i do. and you'll notice there's never been anything close to another 911 attack that mean, that doesn't mean we've solved the problem of violent extremism. but what it does mean is that we've made the homeland much safer. we've spent a lot of time energy and resources building a counter terrorism infrastructure at home to make sure that terrorists can not get into the united states and plan spectacular attacks. but you know, al qaeda itself is alive and well and now has the opportunity to regenerate enough garrison. so even though the united states would like to move on from the war on terrorism, the terrorists also have a vote. i suppose as many of the threats said that the us faces now cyber threats and when it comes to so called terrorism, of course, the usaa seeing quite a lot of domestic terrorism right now. do you think that the u. s. pulling out of
12:14 am
afghanistan does as joe biden say, give it more, more strengths in dealing with some of these other threats. well, to double a sore in some ways. you know, the united states pulling out from afghanistan allows us to focus on other issues, you know, domestic terrorism, cobra, 19 pandemic climate change, the rise of china. we have no shortage of issues, as they say, when we talk about threats, nothing ever falls off the plate, right? there's just more added. it's about reorienting, it's about repositioning, and thinking about how the united states can best deal with these threats. my concern is if you ask me that question in 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, my answer might be quite different and we might be looking at a situation much closer to you know, the situation we were in, in and around not 11 were al qaeda is powerful and is looking to again attack the west. it was interesting listening to president george bush,
12:15 am
who of course was president at the time speak of unity and a lot of people, really speaking about how americans came together after that attack. how do you think it would react if a similar attack happened now, what do you think the 20 years of the so called war on terror in many of its failures, have impacted the psychology of americans when it comes to their standing in the world? yeah, it's a great question. i think given the highly partisan nature of everything that happens in this country these days, we talk a lot about 911. but what about $16.00? it shows that we're actually so far from the unity that we felt after $911.00. i was in europe or 911 happened. and i just really want to be home to be with my fellow new yorkers and fellow americans. it was a really difficult time and now it feels like we're so far. busy from that unity that we achieved, even amongst terrible circumstances and i and you know, i don't want to be hyper bulkier,
12:16 am
but i don't know that we'll ever get back to that sense of unity again and just on a final point. and what do you think are the main risks that the us faces? now there, there are many, we still face the risk of transnational terrorism, perpetrated by self. you how to groups like, oh hi to like isis like their affiliates. we also face of domestic threat from foreign extremists, from anti government extremis. and we face a threat from abroad from traditional us adversaries like china, russia, iran, north korea, look, the world is a dangerous place. the united states has made many missteps in the global war and terrorism, but i'd like to close by with a positive note which is that the united states still is and can be a force for good in this world. we have to remember that, that even though the united states always doesn't do the right things, the country does mean, well, we do mean when we talk about human rights and democracy,
12:17 am
it's about channeling that energy and resources toward achievable objectives and doing it in step with our allies throughout the world, calling clark from the sou phone group at global intelligence and security can so can see group a sir. thank you for sharing of use for this. thank you. never forget coming up on al jazeera, this news, our vaccine shortage for columbia and health officials on alert is they anticipate a new corona, virus serge. and in formula one all the drama from the sprint trace at the italian grand prix. more that lay transport. ah and israeli court has extended the tension of for palestinian prisoners who were recaptured after the escaped from google a prison earlier this week. but the man hunt continues for 2 others. there have
12:18 am
been more protests in ramallah. meanwhile, in solidarity with the escapees and all palestinian prisoners, protestors se inmates or facing further punishment after they escapees tunnel their way out of the maximum security jail. on monday, i re force that reports from west around 5 am. local time on saturday. is really counterterrorism units. arrested to more of the 6 escaped, palestinian prisoners in laurie park, east of the town of nazareth. a tip off from a local resident, reportedly led to the capture of mohammed al are de amanda, palestinian islamic jihad, and zachary, as who bady the highest profile. escapee a former lead photoshoot armed wing the alex a martyrs brigade. sir bady is reported to a resisted arrest, but was unarmed and overwhelmed. an image released by his ready police showed him with a bruised face. all 6 of the prisoners come from in or near jeanine in the north of the occupied west bank mohammed al
12:19 am
r does mother reacted to his arrest lives. i want the whole world all organisations to stand by him because he's a hero. he's my son. i want him out, i wish for the best the him to be released. late on friday, 2 other escapees were captured, yucca country and my food are they said to be the masterminded. the escape. all 4 detained without a shot being fired, palestinian on the factions, had warned retaliatory attacks if any of the men were harmed. the arrest alone triggered sizable protests across the occupied west bank. from garza, a rocket was fired, intercepted by israel's anti missile system. the extraordinary escape through a shower room floor into void space under one of israel's most secure prisons, was an enormous embarrassment for israel security machine and celebrated as a victory by palestinian israel's effort to reverse. it has also been huge for the men were setting life sentences for killing israelis to babies on trial for similar
12:20 am
charges. the israeli government was that they may have been planning fresh attacks with help from the outside. as it played out, the men appeared very much on the road and were captured without the kind of bloodshed that many feared might spark abroad around to violence. that said the hunt for the remaining 2 men continues. and palestinians have been angered by abroad, a crackdown against prisoners since the escape on monday. this remains attent situation. harry force it, i'll just hear a west jerusalem the head of the international atomic energy organisation is heading to tehran for talks with iranian officials, iran's and boy to the a cause and heidi by by the tweeted that rafael grossey is arriving today and shed your can meet around the vice president and head of the countries atomic organization on sunday. it will be girl sees 1st visit to the country. since abraham are you see took office that he, but by the said the 2 sides will issue a joint statement after the meeting health authorities in columbia say they're
12:21 am
worried about a potential covered $900.00 surge next month. columbia has run out of vaccines and many people with a 1st. those are currently unable to get a 2nd shot. this comes as the delta very into is on the rise in a new more contagious ferry. and 1st protested in columbia. known as movie is also spreading. that's cross service, a lot of p a t who is in the capital book. so alexandra officials are investigating with the move area and so called is able to actually evade the immune system. a vaccinated people, which of course would be crucial. what could you tell us? absolutely. barbara, as you were saying, this variant with 1st detected in colombia back in january. and since then, since then, the national, the columbia national institute for health that have been able to fully sequences, this is the 1st national health
12:22 am
a suit to the developing country that has been able to do so. and it's now working closely with the world health organization to just the understand how dangerous this very and to actually is. and the mutations is already having in this country any in other countries where it has been a spreading since it was 1st detected. it has now spread to $43.00 different countries and is responsible here in columbia and the neighboring equity for more than 60 percent of all cur, into a infection. so this is of great concerns of great concern here at a time when all so delta, very and which is very contagious that has been detected that this study that is going forward here with the help of the w h o has started on august 30th. that's when the w h o has 1st classified this, the variance variance of interest,
12:23 am
which essentially means that it could indeed evade immunity that people have develop the either to getting a vaccine or surviving the illness. so that's what's happening here in the country . and what's of concern, since the variance are more contagious, is the fact that less than 30 percent of columbia and i've been fully vaccinated at a time when the government is having a very hard time in getting a new vaccines for 3 days. all vaccination centers were closed here in the capital book with that today, they were open again because a new batch has arrived. the government needs to do more experts say to be able to really pick up speed and try to avoid that for to wave of infections. but that's proven quite difficult so far. and for example, just to give you an idea of people who have received the 1st shot of pfizer or that
12:24 am
madana vaccine are supposed to get a 2nd shot 21 days later. and the government here, it's telling the people that it might take up to almost 3 months to get that 2nd shot. i listened with the latest form, but with her in columbia, sandra, think you one of peruse, most notorious figures of recent history has died after 29 years in prison. i've been, my guzman was the founder of the hard left shining pass armed group responsible for tens of thousands of killings in the eighty's and ninety's. the 86 year old was serving 2 life sentences after his arrest in 1990 to mariana sanchez as more now from peruse capital lim the the most violent conflict between recent history. i'd be mind guzman, lead the shining path rebel movement targeting police,

12:26 am
a completely surprised country that didn't understand what was going on, who was fighting, and how, because the insurrection was completely different from any other in latin america. many killed others without knowing why they were killing, and many die without knowing why they were dying. and conflict turned fratricidal, most attackers and most victims were poor, andy and peruvians. the guzman lived in hiding for many years that helped create the mist that he was invincible. but then police arrested him here, a safe house in a middle class neighborhood in the center of the capital, very far away from where most of the armed conflict was taking place. because men and members of his central committee group were arrested together. this was the 1st time peruvians ever saw the most wanted men in the country. his capture in 1992, marked the beginning of the end. one. by now,
12:27 am
it was as if you captured the queen bee, then total disconcert ensued. confusion followed, and with that came the implosion of the movement. but the moment he was captured the shining path which appended mainly on him last the war with apple blossom, we may lose man was sentenced to life in prison for treason and many other crimes. the war left more than 60000 dead or thousands more, remain missing. those who survived still bear the scars of the darkest periods imposed history. so the come on al jazeera, this news hour will speak to the victims of attacks in eastern democratic republic of congo, where people, st rebels are operating with impunity. and then sport. chelsea continued to reap the rewards of resigning a star striker or that later in the news our ah
