as well we had the opportunity to speak to some of the people as to their recollections and memories of the people on this team and here is their grief in their words. we've been fans many. childhood went to all that. it's like losing a family member. i knew one of the players he was my neighbor. and he was a great person he's got two little kids left how could this happen when we saw the news on t.v. i just burst into tears i still can't grasp how it could happen there used to be a team and now there isn't. so much. they were everything to us we'll remember them forever. i wish they were life

one of the wife of the coaches was on her way back from vacation when she learned that her husband was in this accident and was asked to come and identify the body at the morgue in that case on her way to the morgue she got into a minor car accident she is ok but also a mother of one of the players on upon learning the news we are told suffered a heart attack as well after hearing that her son was involved in this incident another story that we're told is a flight attendant twenty nine years old on this flight was married just three months ago and had told her friends and family that she was planning to retire from this business so that she could raise a family and have children and of course the people here are going to be gathering up for the next few days sharing their stories sharing their community spirit so that they can begin the healing process after such a national tragedy a wednesday's plane crash happened on the first day of the new season of the

kontinental hockey league and many of those who perished play for their countries and were real stars of the sport well our sports presenter says rebuilding the team is one of the main priorities now. well we've had reaction as unsurprisingly globally we were listening to some of the earlier quotes there in the sports bulletin and some of the players that were in the n.h.l. as well as the case you were describing ice hockey as a family so many of the the team members came from other countries we have ten different nationalities the aerosol side so the reaction is global it starts we hear from the fans and also from the highest in the lowest and the great in the good and we can also hear from the players themselves alexei action used to play for long and he's not going to play for skull and we can hear from him. history of . what he told country and my friends going to the play you guys are way too good a couple of years ago or because i'm going just just want to give my condolences to the families and. stuff for everybody what shocked me with this very

very sad news that we've heard. i'm speechless you know. it's worse. another loss so there are some sort of a gun show you place the also a center so so the idea that you get from the n.h.l. everybody coming together and shock and grief the example that's been used is the practical example that we have which is a football example of a team that was a ridge it's a teen is now from a speck a stone that was originally part of the soviet union and they were promoted in one thousand nine hundred nine to the top flight and whilst on route they were on a plane that collided midair and seventeen players and coaches were killed in the series the practice they had afterwards was that really then sent a player from every team to make up a new team and this is a suggestion that's been made by commentators the cross russia and also the greats in the good are all in favor of boosting the same and we can hear from some of the legends of the sport they're also right jaroslava with this idea of. the ice hockey

family mourns the loss of one of the best teams it was a multinational deal with a unique group of players and the international sports community sharing our grief it was. standing team and our priority will be to build and you lokomotiv. dozens of calls actually. five calls so i was a player we share a do the walls go on from what you believe it will be silly if your new head coach and nobody ever there was a decided by themselves and also. managers all those it was a collapse given the cause as it is it really gave the best players in the local what you feel or there's a history of what could save a lot stop. well as we had from one exam the man said of the other head of the k h l nobody even needs to be told people are actually volunteering to come forward and help rebuilding of the team and they have as i hear already a announced a new coach the former used in coach of his coming into to head up in utah. well

government faces court action from a group of doctors over the death of weapons expert david kelly of two thousand and three well they're pushing for a new inquiry after the first reached a verdict of suicide well kelly was behind a report showing britain knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq before joining the invasion and found out that the evidence in the case isn't as clear as previously thought. more than eight years since the death of u.n. weapons inspector david kelly and still no inquest following his own mosque as the source of a report saying tony blair's government knew iraq had no weapons of mass destruction be full person invaded the country kelly was found dead in woods near his home a verdict of suicide was recorded despite what many see as conflicting evidence no one's ever said questions under oath about kelly's death and all medical and

scientific reports relating to it were secretly classified something which has never been legally explained but it hasn't gone away this week talked to david how pain is to mond that the question of holding an inquest to be reopened he's challenging a decision by attorney general dominic grieve who ruled out holding a coroner's inquest in june citing what he called overwhelming evidence that the u.n. weapons inspector committed suicide but david help group of other doctors are distinctly underwhelmed by the evidence. that this one group from across the iron lady. monogram. the. very. least you start to become pain has popular support readers of the daily mail newspaper have to natives around fifty six thousand dollars in just

a week to help finance the appeal how pain and his fellow campaign is hope this will lead to a full inquest into kelly's death many suspect foul play and just subsequent government coverup. palestinians have started a campaign for statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in the united nations they carried a letter to the local u.n. mission in drama last saying their peaceful demonstrations will continue until palestine becomes a member state and authorities policy reports the whole region is in a state of build up to the vote. well the palestinian authority officially launched its campaign for statehood today thursday and in a formal written to the un secretary chief banky moon it urged the international body to recognize tellus just demands and what we understand is that the campaign will involve a series of events in the run up to the opening session of the un general assembly on september the twentieth it has been dubbed the national campaign for palestine state one hundred and one thousand people and to launch its one hundred palestinian

high ranking officials and activists gathered today thursday at the u.n. headquarters in ramallah for a short ceremony of both the israeli government as well as the obama administration is against the stick aeration and the u.s. has sent a formal request to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas asking him not to go ahead with it but a bus has rejected because we are hearing some rumblings behind the scenes that israelis and palestinians have been meeting informally and in secret to discuss the possibility of possibly postponing this declaration that we have no confirmation of this what we've witnessed here particularly in the last two months is a build up of anger frustration and discontent within the israeli public particularly leveled at the netanyahu government these have been the largest protests in this country's history and just yesterday protesters clashed here in tel aviv with police a number of the wrists were held people accused the police of treating them

brutally and all of this was because the government has started removing tents from the streets of several cities despite the fact that earlier it's it would give protesters and till the end of the month to clean up their act and to meet the government in small ways and in boardrooms for discussions rather than on the streets so what protesters are saying here is that they really cannot trust the government and there's also the concern that as the government turns its attention to what is happening externally these of the september the twentieth it will no longer even listen to the concerns being a. here within the israeli society now the german a finance minister has threatened to cut off greece's financial lifeline from the e.u. if athens doesn't follow the block's demands to the letter well his comments follow a series of missed deadlines after shocking revelations of the scope of this recession the country's lost eight percent of its g.d.p. in a year it's seen as a result of the a severe austerity measures that came attached with two e.u. sponsored bailouts critics have condemned the harshness of these the past saying

recovery is impossible under such stress the greek f.b.c. most critical glue believes there's more in these bailouts for the e.u. just helping a struggling neighbor. with the help of the european union greek for most have stopped producing can imagine a country like greece right now kong feed its people we don't produce enough meat we don't produce enough we even oil we are importing a country like greece that should be producing everything can produce everything and should be and do we had the scheme from the european union that farmers were paid so that they wouldn't produce anything. we destroyed one of the main the main assets of our economy and this has to change right now it is costing us a lot you can imagine that. germany for example is lending us money when the big hit

with the biggest interest rate them in itself is borrowing so they are making money out of the help to us. russian a pilot who was convicted of drug smuggling earlier this year has been such as to twenty years in prison by a us court costs and didn't get a shackle was detained in liberia in two thousand and ten and transported to the us but moscow says his arrest and rendition were illegal and will seek his repatriation associate you're going to explains. this case builds a major precedent this is the first time when a russian citizen is sentenced to an american prison for an intent to participate in a crime in a case that was built by special agents posing as drug dealers arrested in a third country in this case liberia now you will be edge eligible for parole in as much as thirty years we know that his defense team has thirty dale's days to file an appeal but u.s.

officials can take as much as two years to consider this appeal now the man has repeatedly pled not guilty in this case hopeful until the last minute himself and his family has mother and wife who are here to support him out in tears in the courtroom today as the sentence was announced i'm now convinced we have nothing to hope for believe in today i hope the judge would be reasonable upright and he just said well you think it's cruel but i send you to twenty years behind bars do you really think in my house in this case it was a family man with no criminal background he has never stood trial anywhere in the world including russia and the united states moreover he has never even stepped foot on u.s. soil up until he was snatched up by u.s. special agents in liberia last year and brought here to stand trial now his family as well as russian officials were not informed as to what his whereabouts effectively considering him missing russian officials cited

a breach of diplomatic conduct a breach of international law because they did not know where this their citizen was and because the u.s. state department failed to do only inform them. the tragic jet crash overshadowed a major political event taking place in the city and change plans including those of president medvedev well speaking of the second and final day of the global policy for he touched upon the major challenges russia is facing the somalis there for us almost certainly a lot of debate and discussion took place at this two day forum just by the tragedy nevertheless the president felt it was the right thing to do to begin his keynote speech with a moment of silence but then you our citizens were killed in the crash as well as citizens of several other countries let's observe in the native silence to honor their memory but you too by the.

president went on to give his speech it focused on multiculturalism of course that's the theme of this year's forum here in jaroslav he spoke a lot about the briefs in society. income wise and how that can lead to problems in society and about how russia needs to take a steady growth towards modernization another theme that has come up very much so apt is today for me is of course the situation in the mideast and north africa especially concerning libya and syria and in fact joining me now to speak more about that and who better to know about the situation there is the presidential envoy to africa thank you very much for joining us but what about themes that we hear often from president putin even russia in general especially over the past couple of years that you can do to other countries how the kind of numbers that you have the idea that the president has made a few days before about of course using reference to people that just because someone doesn't do something we think it's redundant meet is wrong course he was

referring to libya how do you when you're working for nato they found teaching countries to help democracies they don't consider other by you know. it's not difficult to defend he says because there's only one bad thing about democracy cannot impose it it's very difficult to impose a democracy it should grow within the society and very often the society is in the part of the world which we are talking a ball to have to send home or denies themselves from medieval ages style structure and medieval ages style mentality so i don't think that it's really very difficult just to bring a new prince from any western or eastern capital to this part of the world and say hey this is the way you have to do it. just finally i want to talk about syria do you think that it will turn into another libya i hope no i hope not that's why

russia is working hard in order to build bridges between the government and the opposition on the ninth of september will be receiving again the delegation of the syrian opposition we shall be receiving the representatives of the syrian government on the eleventh of the twelfth of september we are working hard in order to help syrians to create the kind of joking that can is between two camps which are fighting against each other and this fighting does not serve the national interests of syria thank you very much transparent front mikail markel of the presidential envoy to africa and of course over the two day forum pretty much the main theme when it comes to security what's happening there but that debate of course will continue but a lot of work done here at the global policy forum in your stopping. just a few days the united states will be marking its greatest tragedy in half a century the terrorist attacks on september eleventh two thousand and one well

what followed was a decade of invasions torture scandals and untold abuse us on both sides well as we begin our special coverage of the anniversary parties the uneducated takes a look at whether the past decade has made america as. for. a week i mean one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history the ushered in a decade of anti terror campaigns across the globe. but is america and the world now a safer place ten years on the most recent nine eleven commission report card gives aviation security in the u.s. the worst rate an f as for terrorists experts say the methods used to fight them have spawned even more extremism torture and if that which weren't just put out the great we're going to talk them over which we're thinking is the highest level of curtain call uter and that both significantly said it's backed up and they're trying to defeat terrorism america's that kaid long campaign on terror has created

a new phenomenon more without borders and as many say without rules torture rape and murder that took place at the u.s. run prison in abu ghraib iraq as well as other u.s. prisons overseas brought global condemnation but key decision makers in the bush administration say what they did was in the best interest of their country and they would do the same again people call it torture new think it should still be a tool yes rendition yes secret prisons yes wiretapping well with right to prove colonel lawrence wilkerson was collin powell chief of staff when he was the secretary of state under george w. bush he says some of the bush administration members deserve to be put on trial and he would be ready to testify george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is order book the fact that there hasn't been

a terrorist attack on the scale of nine eleven on the u.s. soil is often attributed to the harsh methods used in the last decade of war on terror but counterterrorism expert. say the fact that terrorists are successfully recruiting thousands of new members these days does not add to security in the us and the whole world for that matter we've also seen other extremist networks like. us well right in response to things like us drone attacks in office. so in some ways there's often been a diversification in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and made it only a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others like this young man who lost both of his legs and three family members in a drone strike gether in protest asking when will the killing stop we have made much more than a cottage industry out of the what my former boss colin powell has called the

terrorist industrial complex lots of people are making a lot of money off of this so-called global war on terror our war on terror. begins with al qaida. but it does not in there listening to george bush's declaration of war on terror from ten years ago one is left wondering whether it was the beginning of a vicious circle where the revenge would take more innocent lives and would start a new wave of terror i'm going to check our reporting from washington are today. and tomorrow will assess the effects of a post nine eleven world both on the us and on those in afghanistan where many still don't know the reason why they were invaded in the first place. in this province think about nine eleven and its consequences. but never seen the full you know. if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for
