close to the u. k, where the global green energy revolution taking on a new elements birthright on al jazeera. ah, ah, mocking 20 years in the deadliest attack on us soil on the ceremony held to remember the attack of the victim of the 911 attacks. ah, hello emily anglin, this is al jazeera alive from joe. how are coming up? bearing the skies of the us led war in afghanistan. we hear from people their lives have changed forever. one week after the guineas military lated face growing

precious to restore civilian rule. and almost 30 years after he was captured, the man accused of being behind the killings of thousands of people live in i can memorize actions have been taking place to remember those who lost their lives 20 years ago today. in the deadliest attacks on us soil, nearly 3000 people were killed on september 11, 2001. americans have been reflecting on how the attacks re shaped the country and the world christian salumi reports from yeo. i alongside the memorial pools, 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 of the victims have no memory of that day. for mike low who lost his daughter, the anniversary brings back the pain. these 20 years have felt like both a long time and a short time. 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, broken by the customary reading, 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 war on terror. 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 or last deployment at 220 to help 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, florida, it hit home be in here and work in the pile and beside the brothers and sisters from all over the world. but came,

firefighter dennis shone came from new mexico to participate in a fundraiser. this is a data on a 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 were 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 was shocked at the city of abel in gratitude for their wisdom and decency that are posted in this, that are 5 of the 1st responders in the mutual aid of strangers. in the solidarity of grief and grace. the actions of anatomy revealed the spirit of a people. yeah. as 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, the f. b. i has released the 1st declassified documents about the attacks. the documents described contact. the hijackers had with saudi associates in the us. the 16 page report of is no evidence the saudi government was complicit in the clause. president barton signed an executive order for the release of the sacred documents a week ahead of the 20th anniversary. for more on these, let's go live to my tenant who joins us from washington. they say, hello then mike, what more do we know about what's contained in this be classified material? while as you mentioned, president biden instructed the justice department to look through the documents of

the f. b. i investigation into the attacks over the next 6 months and release to the public, what they think could be made public. now this is a firm strong shot documents to be dropped released on the f, b i's website to a short while ago. and it's 16 pages. it doesn't provide any real revolutionary material. and also it is very heavily redacted. so very difficult to understand exactly what it is saying. in essence, what it does is deals with a 2015 interview with an individual whose name has been redacted. who was applying for us citizenship, who told us investigators of contacts. he had a number of years ago with 2 saudi nationals who investigate to say, had given heavy logistical help to a number of the hijackers in 911. so it's 2nd person account doesn't provide any real detail, and certainly the saudi arabia itself has welcome the release of the documents

early on in the week. it said that would like all the f. b, i investigation to be made public as it contains, continues to maintain that it had nothing to do with the $911.00 attacks. what the 1st tranche of documents does show is that investigators do believe that at some stage there was contact between saudi nationals and those who carried out the hijacking. why now, why on the 20th anniversary of the september 11th attacks, mike well, it's precisely because it's the 20th anniversary and make no mistake. president biden and previous administrations have come under immense pressure from relatives of those who are killed in 911 to provide the evidence collected by the administration. agencies like the f, b i into the attacks to use them in an ongoing quote case that the relatives are attempting to bring against saudi arabia full. it's alleged involvement in the

attack. so the families have placed immense pressure on the administration over a period of time. president biden paley acknowledging this instructing the justice department to begin to release these documents. but in terms of what they actually mean, very difficult to see from this 1st drop. there are thousands of pages of documents . it is understood that the f b, i has its investigations. this is the 1st 16 many more will probably come in the next 6 months. whether or not they a the case of those relatives. that is something that we'll find out in the weeks and months ahead. on the face of it, though, the 16 pages very much, almost a token gesture by the by and ministration released on the day of the 20 said birth anniversary in assigned, if acknowledgment to the demands being made by the families for the government to do more in terms of providing them with information about exactly what happened,

mike, appreciate your insides, my canada live for us in washington day saying thank you and keep us updated. the $911.00 attacks lead to 20 years of war in afghanistan, us forces and their allies sought to target al qaeda fighters along with the taliban, which was accused of harbouring them. tens of thousands of afghans were killed and many lives turned upside down. charles stratford reports from cobble on people's hopes for the future. in sell, ghouls, homes was destroyed during fighting between us led forces and the tyler bon. 40 years ago, his brother, one of his songs, was killed. he and his family have lived in this camp for internally displaced people and cobbled ever since. he blames the united states and its allies for the pain. they've been jord, additional color german and the past 20 years. we've suffered so much that at times with hardly been able to eat for days with all africans have been through terrible

hardships, not bombardments, fighting our health and destroyed the war last, not so long because we are africans, and we will fight for our country in central cobble today, it's holly, 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, an economic catastrophe. this is the old american embassy, once a hub of cia and military planning. one of the most important senses of us foreign

policy in the world. now, it's just an empty shell. hm. it google was 24 when us led coalition invaded. he is scared about what the future holds. so look, i look in a moment in the last 20 years, my hopes changed, but now they've been left behind. all i can still get close to the rest of the world when the americans were here. but now we have to wait and see again what the future will bring. despite his doubts, he says he wants the world to give the tale by chance mythical 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 as i leave for work. afraid i'll never see them again. but this is one of many graveyards on hillside surrounding cobble. here are buried. some of the estimated 50000 afghan civilians killed in the last 20

years. well that, 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, charleston, off it al jazeera, cobble to the news now in security officials in northern iraq say to drawings with explosives struck outside herbal international airport, where us forces a sanctioned. this is the 3rd time the airport has been attacked recently. there were no immediate reports of casualties previous attacks were blamed on iranian backed a rocky groups. the head of the international atomic energy agency is heading to tehran for talks with iranian officials. rafael grossey is shed to meet around vice president and hay and head of country of the country's atomic agency on sunday. it will be groceries 1st visit the country since abraham racy became president and

talks. com as well. powers try to salvage the iran nuclear deal. ok still ahead on al jazeera, columbia bryce is for an imminent surgery close at 19 infection. exact same in short. ah, now this is unusual hurricane larry rushing. a look at the speed of that thing. this is normal. satellite picture that i show you is really rushed past newfoundland, still called a hurricane, causing potentially a lot of damage, although it did go quickly through. now after that, it's less things behind fatty. normally this is occur. crabbing rain through the prairies of west and canada. much of the u. s. is looking quite so hot in the south

west, but around the gulf coast. things don't look so good. in fact, he's zoom in there because by sunday and monday to be rain and significant rain, i think coming up from mexico across the border into texas. this is jeremiah. the origin represents the heaviest of rain. but it stepped back 24 hours because i say wake me week, this means significant rain through this part of mexico and a few big showers elsewhere, particularly in this spot near la. but i think otherwise, it's fairly drawn to get down to columbia south america, in particular, looking quite aggressive. the moment has been flooding significant funding in northern columbia and that could carry on. then there's the bit of the gap. charles are returning to some parts of the amazon. they're not many asencion at 37 degrees . casing point says young of temperature is far too high for where it is. it will cool down significantly, but it'll take 3 days. the, the, the us a call was of interest to people. all right, the world, this is been going on for

a number of what's been use of the report. so returning to national perspective, to try to explain your global audience how this could impact the life. this is an important part of the world, and it's very good at bringing the news to the world from a showcase of the best documentary films from across the network. on al jazeera. oh the me. i know you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily angland, a reminder of hub stories. this memorandum has been held across the us to my 20th

since september 11 attacks us, president, past and present, joined families at ground 0 to remember the victim a memorial was also held in shameful people. bang at the moment when i say live like 93 rush into an interest feels president joe biden laid a way to the ceremony to honor those killed the right after he arrived. after changing the can them ration in your m e s. b only has relates the 1st declassified documents about the material describes contact the hijacker has the saudi associates, us the 16 page report off with no evidence down. the government was complicit in the plans for more on that story. now let's speak to glen the call for my deputy national intelligence officer at the see i am the author of the interrogator, a book about his experience on post 911 interrogation. he joins us via skype from

boston. hello there. glenn. this document contains just 16 pages and it's heavily rejected. what did you make of its contents? well it, it wasn't a surprise to me at all, which won't be a surprise to you. i mean, this is what i have worked on with the f b i and my colleagues in the j a for a good part of my professional life. the fear or anger, apprehension, and conviction by many that saudi arabia's government was complicit and involved in al qaeda's attack has a longer history. unfortunately, it's been tied up frequently with political struggles and the views of some parts of the united states about what the u. s. should do towards arab muslim societies, but there really hasn't been ever any direct evidence that the

saudi government has had anything to do with al qaeda. what we should bear in mind is that al qaeda was trying to overthrow the saudi royal family and the saudi government. now, it's also true, however, is that or not surprising, also, that individuals who were part of the shouting government broadly, broadly speaking, themselves may have either innocently or perhaps out of their own personal identification provided some sort of assistance to some of the hijackers. but that's not the saudi government, so there's no surprise really coming out of this where it will be considered in adequate, i'm sure by the people who still expect to find evidence. glenn, is it enough this document? and so this material is it enough to help with such a politically delicate time between the u. s. and saudi massage?

well, relationship 2nd quite a downturn since it's been quite clearly established. that hadn't been psalm and it wasn't just complicit in, but seems to have directed the assassination of that mr. shoji in, in turkey who also happened to be a us citizen brewer national show. our relations are, are not ideal or right now. i don't think that this release, however, is in any way politically motivated from that perspective. rather, it's a response to the pressure domestically in the united states, from the parts of american society and our political class that are convinced that the saudis are somehow involved in this but, but they really are not theirs for the 20 years

since 9 alone, 10 of which i was involved in professionally. it seemed quite clear to us the intelligence community that the saudis were not directly involved. although many saudis are sympathetic to and supported. this is the 1st of many documents to be released, want more likely to be reviewed in the coming weeks and months. well, i think that the public will probably in the pundits will probably be frustrated because just like this documents, just like my book, anything intelligence related will be heavily redacted, which means censored. and so people will imagine that the gaps contain damning information. and that in this instance i'm confident is not the case, but people will be frustrated. while we appreciate your insight, say glen com,

a former deputy national intelligence officer at the see i am the author of the interrogator. appreciate your time. may glen tother news now and one way gone to they seized power guineas qu late is yet to form a government and there's still no clear plan to return the west african nation to democratic rule. i mean, interest reports from clinical re, they've got 2179 political presents recently released from jail, save us his new found freedom. jailed for pausing, deposed president l for candace constitutional amendment. the activist says he won't hesitate to take his stands against the military. if they overstay their welcome look up, read the more question. if you knew i will struggle for democracy is not over. it's an every day fight. i ask the people of kenya to mobilize and defend our young

democracy. we must defend it one week ago, the army led by monday and the president of a condition 11 year rule and arrested him. the court has been condemned by the international community would amended return to constitutional order. the coolest phase, economic and social problems caused by decades of corruption and miss rule. the demand for a quick fix in guinea is going from to a society to politicians, to the ordinary man on the street. but one week after the call to hold the government of president for conduct the new military rulers. yeah, yes. so now is the government that isn't getting any easier with mounting international pressure? i'm drama kelly and imports and distribute motorcycles. like most unions, the possibility of sanctions, an isolation war is the businessman, affective sanctions, will be catastrophic. the ports will close people kind of access their savings and

backs businesses. consumers everyone will suffer. i hope it doesn't get to that. a clinical, i mean market fronted them. we ourselves secondhand clothes to educate our children . she says that is crushing property in guinea. i again, when i did not the last piece in equity must return. i am that will guarantee development without peace and justice. and there will be agitation for you will then to national pressure mounting. that is a last thing the military rule as will want to reason. i'll connect in how the visuals in columbia say they're worried about a potential cove at 19 search next month. columbia has run out of vaccines and many people with 1st dollars a currently unable to get a 2nd shot. it comes as to delta variance is on the rise and

a new more contagion variant. first to take it in college, columbia known as new, is also spreading alexandra ramp. yet he reports from ball guitar. the days without available doses, people are lining up again. if vaccination centers in bogota, people might okay. yeah, yeah. because i knew those these arrived and decided to try and we were here 15 days ago and couldn't get vaccinated yet. not everybody here will be able to get a shot. a me, then i'm going vaccine shortage and summer since away pfizer. madame esther seneca vaccines are all in short supply in columbia, postponed the 2nd shot for most people, extending the allowed interval between doses from the recommended $21.00 days to almost 3 months which is the case for street vendor, lillian, and about a boy who was hoping to be fully protected by now on that let us say,

i wish i could get my 2nd dose to be safe. they're saying i will have to wait until november. and the same is happening with most faxing. so far less than a 3rd of columbia, the population has been fully vaccinated, while almost half as received at least one dose. experts are hoping the country will soon be able to pick up speed after news that the more contagious delta variance was detected. here earlier this week and that the home grown variance known as mew is already responsible for over 60 percent of current infection. columbia, the national institute for health is the 1st in a developing country to independently sequenced the local variance, which is spreading internet surely. and is being closely monitored by the world health organization and civil maintenance with wisdom was at this time, we are evaluating the possibility that the new variant could evade the immune system of vaccinated people. colombia is particularly interesting for this study,

since we are using many different types of vac scenes. this will be key to understand what will happen next. with daily cases falling bars, restaurants and clubs fully open again. people have relaxed their attitudes, but experts fear a new spike could be around the corner, will go, you know, a government should seize this opportunity to try to speed up texan nations buying more doses and strengthen primary care and its ability to trace cases before the next uptick the current decline in debts in case of the given colombians in the economy, some relief with multiple strains on the rise in a bumpy inoculation campaign. health officials worn. it might be too early to let their guard down. allison that i'm the, the, with that a rally against the french mandated help pass has been attacked into new saying the and i get more than 20 people had to

demonstrate it to people in protesting their french students when they're opposed to what i see as a rule requiring citizens to show a health passed into public places. security forces have broken out protests in chile, they were mocking the crew that overturned the governance of salvatore lin day in $973.00. somebody has to march peacefully through yard, while others set fire to a car and a petrol station. 2 lane lane has been marked by repeated allegations of tennessee in lincoln, the founder of peruse, shining par, the rebel group abbey. my ill guzman has died at the age of 86. he was captured almost 30 years ago and accused of causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people in the 19 eighties and nineties. mariana sanchez,

looks back at his life. the most violent conflict of recent history will be mailed, guzman led the shining path rebel movement targeting police and the military bombing indiscriminately sabotaging infrastructure and causing the death of thousands of peruvians in a war with the state that laughter. 2 decades in the group's 1st attack, in 1980 imposed an era of terror invaded equal experience. he used terrorism extensively to accomplish his political purposes. maybe his political objectives will be forgotten. he wasn't interested in money or drug trafficking, but in a very radical extreme version of communism. we mailed was man used guerrilla war for tactics to take the government by force. part of his narrative was following on chairman mouse cultural revolution,

while also converging stolen and lenin ideas into his own. thousands of young and mostly poor peruvians were convinced that the philosopher in university professor held what was described as a baton of justice and his views. although extreme or unquestionable, what kind of paddle was he implanted the ideas and was successful in the face of 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. the conflict turned fratricidal, most attackers and most victims were poor. andy and peruvians. guzman lived in hiding for many years. that helped to create the missed 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 the 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, won the him by now. it was as if he captured the queen bee, then total disconcert and sued confusion followed. and with that came the implosion of the movement. the moment he was captured, the shining path, which depended mainly on him, lost the war. we may lose man was sentence to life in prison for treason and many other crimes. the war left more than 60000 dead and thousands more remain missing. those who survived still bear the scars of one of the darkest periods in peruse history.
