images from nine eleven are still chilling even ten years after the attacks shook the world they triggered the war on terror but in the country that's been at the front line of that war it can be hard sometimes to find people who remember why foreign troops arrived in the first place we continue our special coverage of the nine eleven anniversary with this report from afghanistan. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province that was born the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces. would afghans in this war two in provence think about nine eleven and its consequences. while on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who are going to look at that we're going to look forward to the. neighborhood i'm going to see if you show them if you move and can us them do they know where it is even if we don't know if it's god's because uniform or neighborhood about i need to know
5:14 am
that we're. going to be. the two young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have moved to see you know you see. saying i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a good as anything i can say when you guys show this picture of the guys saying it so i think that was a call what if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are and what to do about their reactions. so that what the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never going to kabul and you just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country beat them on them without understand a. thing i work on that i didn't know you were doing kid that we're going to america afghanistan come to this point and they get the airplane from here to attack in the united states but you know how much fun i really thought it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here in the city at that picture you
5:15 am
go through picture a minder so this is what you're going to see after looking at it in this particular wearing the uniform occur in the right. to back that war was much harder to tell what we're doing when i was out macon saying we're going to help you to decide one building and it is serious how many funding and this is going to help you where is the help but not the way down with this is going to give it to our kids going into the book fighting and they do it to their own kids in a paper that i don't and they didn't write. i do sympathize or understand what you're some were saying is that even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help them so you know when you have when you can feed yourself or early house yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand that i just to set it up i felt that i never thought to ask those questions of anybody here and that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns
5:16 am
out not only with the villages oblivious to nine eleven but so were the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military to go this far to sit on i have no idea. this is. the full. survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in elements and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was and with american troops that still with during this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans ever having really understood why they came in the first place from afghanistan. and on our website r.t. dot com reporter adam plats recalls how we came up with the idea of filming that story he talked about how u.s. marines once told him of the day when the moon was high over an afghan village and the marines told the elders how the united states had sent a man to the moon and they got laughter in reply that made adam wonder what else
5:17 am
the afghans didn't know more about his recollections complete with pictures that are. part of our continuing special coverage of the tenth anniversary of the nine eleven attacks. the term became synonymous with pure evil. the senseless slaughter room almost three thousand people stunned the world. and it all seemed like a nightmare. ten years. remembers the attacks and its aftermath. a look back at nine eleven. palestinians how started their campaign for statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in the united nations but dr ron pundak chairman of the palestinian israeli peace forum says there are forces on both the israeli and palestinian sides that would like violence to injure or to erupt the build up to the un vote now what
5:18 am
is happening between us and the police will be judged by whether they would be along they seemed lines between the israeli forces and the palestinians and also between the put the cease and the set the demands with the they west bank but that as much as i understand the interest of both sides is not to reach. both sides to provoke with the force and the strength of the two governments would be to try and calm down these provocations and not to be carried away by the look of those which would be to heat the area because they don't want to see quiet as quiet is a message for the future they hope for the peace force us and these people don't want to see peace. and pressure on israel building from yet another direction turkey vowing to sue the country in the international court over its blockade of gaza this follows on her cutting military and trade ties over israel's failure to apologize

5:20 am
comes amid a withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan expected to be completed by two thousand and fourteen. the deadly legacy of war and the up hauling illness it can cause for a servicemen even after they've returned home all explored in our special report coming your way in about ten minutes. when you look for a new clue would be against. new. orleans. president barack obama has presented a much awaited jobs act to congress the earmarks more than four hundred billion dollars for putting people back to work but some critics say it's too little too late artie's guide age she has more. president obama addressed the lawmakers he put
5:21 am
forward measures to create jobs and stimulate the sluggish economy and the u.s. has seen several years of massive job loss unemployment remains over nine percent we're talking about millions of people living jobless in this country congress might cut off unemployment benefits starting next year and the jobless in america will find themselves in an even more dire situation president obama in his address called for the congress to extend benefits for the unemployed he also suggested tax incentives for small businesses another measure he put forward is giving money we're talking about one hundred forty billion dollars to states and local governments so that they can keep you know the teachers and firefighters employed also hire infrastructure workers so that those workers can go out and spend money and keep the consumption going although experts are saying that the stimulus plan obama is suggesting will not really bring the u.s. economy out of the woods because it will create in the best scenario around one and
5:22 am
a half million jobs but it takes a level million jobs new jobs just to get back to the pre recession level there's a lot of skepticism out there in congress many lawmakers are not happy with obama's spending plans while obama is not happy with the lawmakers unwillingness to compromise what's frustrating to many here is that this package of one hundred forty billion dollars in direct stimulus is being debated so fiercely where is the bill giving nearly a trillion dollars a year on defense purposes and on board get past it easily and quietly that surely leaves many americans really frustrated about their representatives on a product financial consultant richard esko believes obama shows a lack of political strength even though he claims to be playing hardball. well look the housing crisis alone took six point seven trillion dollars out of this economy there are twenty five million people unemployed or underemployed so yes we need to be pretty aggressive as for the president again look i'm glad he's talking
5:23 am
about jobs he should have done it before but even when he says i'm going to be bold and take a firm stand he does seem to say to the other side would you like my firm stand by throw in some things that you like till is that not too far and so i think we've reached the point where we have to say look this is the beginning this is just the start if it passes if it doesn't pass then it's clear is that republicans want to sell the country out for as they are electoral chances next year to me trees up next with a business update stay with us. thanks matt the gas dispute between russia and ukraine is reaching a breaking point here of insists on lower prices moscow says it's ready to negotiate spots the basics of the agreements will not be changed. with them we are ready to discuss different ways to cooperate with ukraine including ukraine joining

the customs union or our investment presence in ukraine's economy and it's going to strands petition at work if we agree on these we might be ready to change our scheme of cooperation but either way it will be based on a pricing formula i hope that our ukrainian partners will follow the existing contract and for the immediate future we'll agree on that. for the first time russia's gazprom has managed to acquire an energy retailer in europe and is buying a fifty one percent stake in the czech gas and electricity company r s p energy european union has been trying to resist the expansion of gazprom into the retail segment of the market so it wouldn't be able to supply transit and. fears of another global downturn coupled with sovereign debt woes of put a damper on russia's privatisation plants among the biggest of these states could postpone the sale of a seven point six seven point six percent stake in this burbank i apologize for that the current market volatility has resulted in twenty percent declines in
5:25 am
london's share price kingsmill bond says he believes the government could implement another strategy to help privatisation stay on course. i think it's not just in russia that people are perspiring potations it's clearly a global phenomenon which is single out russian as a result of that there are other ways of doing it so for example clever idea might be if the government were to take these possibles that they were thinking of privatizing and inject them into a pension fund for example which would kill two birds with one stone of one and it would give a very large amount of capital to a pension fund of the other and it would actually make the market i think quite enthusiastic because it would give internal domestic sources of capital and indeed internal domestic pressure to increase yields returns and dividends so that might be one. clever solution to try to get round that issue. so you have the markets this oil is down as investors fear obama's proposed jobs act worth more than four hundred billion dollars is too little too late to jolt the troubled u.s. economy land is one hundred fourteen and
