six one in the final set was a similar story six three in that one the dow hitting its thirty fifth when a healthy match victory. shook much for the finals of a rushing about but when the much. of i think of the most we were over the summer with boyd's few very well passing shots. it was. clear how was. it all the time but i think it was tied up because so much obviously . so no doubt will play mary for a place in the final brit battle through gruelling match against john eisener the first set was tight with mary taking it seventy five in the second let them fly with mary doing enough to take that one six four but also for back to prevent a straight sets the fate of winning eight giving him the third set. i gave the merican momentum. with the next set going to six games before mary payments

were so he's aggressive hitting giving him six match points but he needed just one of them mary has now reached the last four of all the grand slams this season. most of the. book will rule it will include the birth because. you know what you sort of need of the option of the to destroy yourself of the row is. when you're under a lot of pressure of your own so it was good you don't want to just be action sort of a bit huge where the story. of your preaching to the group. is a good. i'm a joiner roger federer who plays on about djokovic in the semifinals it is a big day in the russian premier league today with three of the top four in action and you will see to scar taken denominate in

city of yaroslavl pays its final respects to the victims of wednesday's plane crash that killed nearly the entire local ice i can see. thousands streaming into the locomotive studio to pay their final respects. and coming up a city and a nation mourns the. u.s. prepares to remember september eleventh a day that unleashed the war on terror now if you're by some to be an even bigger threat to global security. and hundreds of egyptians storm the israeli embassy in cairo in a rage by the killing of five egyptian border guards last month.

nine am in moscow i met trends are going to have you with us here on r t our top story the families and fans of russia's looking mostly of ice hockey team are honoring the victims of the plane crash on the ice of their home stadium the sports world is in mourning after nearly the entire locomotive jaroslaw team perished on. our correspondent sean thomas is in front of the stage with more. so it must be a very somber morning there. will certainly matt and i don't know if you can tell but it is raining right now and this heavy rain is very symbolic of the feeling that is in the air very heavy very somber people paying their last respects in fact streaming by the thousands into the stadium behind me where the locomotive team played and held their games there are fourteen caskets in the stadium right now

and people are expecting will have until twelve thirty today to pay their final respects the city is expecting thousands of people to come from the city as well as all over rochelle we know that hockey players and officials are coming to pay their final respects as well this is the third official day of mourning the first day president of the actual site of the plane crash laid a wreath so that he could pay his respects but also to check how the investigation was going then we also saw scenes of celebration where fans came out in numbers to come to the stadium and chant the slogans of the team we've seen every type of emotion shown here as this city process is the grief of losing their heroes this was a three time championship team they loved their hockey they loved this group of people they were the stars of the city and to have their lives tragically cut short in such a way has been very devastating to this community now today's people have the

opportunity to come here between eight thirty and twelve thirty to actually go and see the fourteen caskets lay flowers have their final moments with this team and then following that there will be private ceremonies private celebrations with the family as these players go into the ground also numbers of the team from other countries there. bodies have been sent to their respective countries as well for their own pride and ceremonies but a very sad day and you can feel it in the air here and. even though the team has been devastated by this tragedy a looks as though its spirit will live on how strong is the determination to rebuild after all this was certainly not the first way that the city is moving forward or moving through this tragedy is finding out exactly what happened and we've heard from the investigative committee looking into this event the minister

of transportation overseeing this personally saying that the engines on the plane were fine but there may have been some problem with the fuel so there is some comfort in knowing that there are some answers coming out at this moment in time but also the cage has said that they will help rebuild it. and one way that we saw this happen is we actually went to an ice rink the very last place where this team practice together before getting on the plane the day before the accident and we were able to see and speak with people who are determined to rebuild hockey in. this is their story. as a city continues to mourn one very dedicated group of young men have chosen to honor their heroes in a unique way by getting back on the ice with the book leave it by the book at the coach told us if we should go out onto the ice and we play for all the guys who lost their lives in these prayers of the stars who told us we were in for them as we play our best for these players practicing fear is special as it was from this

barrier you know for the doomed team gone their skates for the final time. i met them on the fifth and sixth of september their training sessions before misc they were confident and quite optimistic and determined all of them were very high spirits. one coach working with this new scheme was supposed to be on the flight and though he is back working now his thoughts are still strong for those affected by this tragic loss i think it said hard hearted but a lot older than family. relatives or so i felt very serious wish them the. strength to. go on i'm a mom i'm going to miss everybody ever the next generation of jaroslava lokomotiv hockey players it's not just about rebuilding the team for the future of the city it's also about getting back on the ice as a form of therapy to help them get through their grief yeah but also i have

a strong wish to reinvigorate cops now when they use championship and dedicated each original my friends who guard was young and while this team practices and even younger group is ready to follow in their footsteps. some of them play if you don't mind where. they told us about them in ca one more you need to get made in the team only have a good stock market school i want to be needed in that movie because expensive not committees next to me comes gadgets to be tested for the club the county is going to come right to school. for. even though they've gone from the members of this ill fated locomotive team. to be in the hearts and minds of the people of the slander and the nation for generations to. the. team. americans are united in their grief as a decade later the nation compare prepares to commemorate the tragic attacks of

september eleventh across the country security's been beefed up to protect against what's been called a credible threat of a new terror attack yet for many people who still feel no sense of safety the cloud of this dreadful lot of us are he has no silver lining or he's worried important i reports from new york. ten years ago america was rocked by unprecedented terror. nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost and of post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins with al qaeda. but it does not in there. it will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found stopped and defeated washington's military reach began with a high pro-sumer bin ladin america strikes back afghanistan as with bombs and

missiles from the air and sea then a preemptive pounding into iraq. in the decade that followed america's fight for freedom has been stated by torture secret tension and rendition human rights violations symbolized by landmarks like ones hanum obey grade and the dog air base prison we had garnered the empathy not only of the world with the muslim world and if we had the courage to be vulnerable. we would be far safer and more secure than we are today instead we drank from that very dark lips or of nationalism journalist and author chris hedges says america's terror unleashed throughout the middle east has opened a pandora's box of evil and sorrow over a million iraqi dead since the invasion. you know hundreds and hundreds of civilians killed in pakistan thousands killed in afghanistan not to mention

millions of people displaced in the refugee camps i mean the terror that we have unleashed will not go. it is and it will strike us eventually however in a post nine eleven america citizens have been forced to compromise they are free to . in the name of security the past decade has paved the way for new state practices such as warrantless wiretapping intrusive airport screening and greater authority for law enforcement what some call a police state in the making as this national security state grows and as it becomes easier for the government to see this because this in all aspects of our lives i think that we are and we worried about this the issue. is larger than it was the specific isolated as it is in the ether that is all around us much of it may be right here at home for people in our own country.

since nine eleven a rising tide of islamophobia has passed through this formerly tolerant nation according to the f.b.i. for men intended to carry out their plan today dozens of muslim americans have been arrested and convicted in so-called f.b.i. foiled terror plots plots that were orchestrated and manufactured by government paid informants these cases have been created by the government and yet we're supposed to feel safer because criminals that would not have come up with a taught how to not been brought them on a platter by the u.s. government are now in jail and we have you know snowball the pollens that's going on around the world only raise more hatred only brings more but feelings only reinforced many narratives very violent and the narrative of american imperialism around the world and we think we've created more enemies than friends you know

being targeted communities rather than making them partners not only has it made us any safer i think that it has undermined the very fabric of american society the fabric of a post nine eleven america the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of. skills and it mean the freedom there is again began at the right but in the same year that followed the military states. around the world the man behind nine eleven may have been. the international seat and yet the letter arena for not artsy. the u.s. war on terror launched after the attacks was sold as a vital measure to stop further attacks on u.s. soil but brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition says there are many who no longer buy that argument so i would say the american people who originally bought

the position that this was a war to stop another september eleventh they have no longer believe that position they now believe that it's a war for something else will define for the broad public the bush administration launched the war in iraq for instance on a completely false pretext the war on terror in fact has become a slogan it will be all to meet we know and in history is the ultimate pretext to do whatever the u.s. government wants but in the case of iraq they invaded iraq hundreds of thousands died millions were made into refugees a beautiful country was torn apart and and divided along ethnic sectarian lines and iraq had nothing to do all to do with september eleventh and likewise in afghanistan we have thousands of troops who are going to be in afghanistan for decades because this is part of a grand scheme to keep these countries under u.s. control as part of the u.s. americans fear of influence. our special coverage of the nine eleven anniversary continues later here on our t.v.

we asked people on the streets of new york if the post nine eleven world is a safer place. than our website argy dot com you can read the stories of those caught up in the war on terror farmers and village elders clueless as to why bombs and missiles have rained down on their homes. so soon after the war on terror came the war on drugs but ten years later afghanistan remains the world's biggest producer of opium poppies with much of its income rooted in illegal narcotics but as nato forces struggle to destroy drug production in afghanistan the u.k. harvests a new crop of poppies to plug a growing painkiller shortage so he's already discovered something that's counterproductive. in the rolling fields of all spicher at this time of year you'll probably see we barley ripening for the harvest but troy spring and warm summer's have been able peas promise to plant a very different type of crop opium poppies under contract to a pharmaceutical company that turns the opium into morphine and coating to plug

a shortfall in strong painkillers in the national health service in fact there's a global shortage of drugs made from poppies the opium here will be put to good use but thousands of miles away nato troops are wiping out existing afghan poppies with bombing burning and spraying the main question is why are we destroying crops and then having to grow poppies in fields in oxfordshire it's been used by the american and british governments repeatedly one of the so-called soft arguments of a bond with the bulldogs is that they're fighting a war on drugs this is completely pointless the it's not true it's not what war is and we should own up to the it's easy to understand why afghan farmers grow then sell opium to the taliban there's an effective distribution network and they can make around seventeen times more profit per hectare than they could on wheat

despite the obvious economics farmers are still being encouraged to grow other crops british m.p. frank field thinks that policy has failed but the americans would part which american rules and we follow in pursuit behind them. makes a nonsense of what this relationship should be about and your party which is lives at stake not to be able to use the. position with the americans to rethink a strategy which i think most people think over the years has if we look historically has probably try and track frank field and his group poppy. i think afghan opium should be legalized instead it would benefit afghan farmers raise much needed revenue for the governments nation rebuild and stop the opium falling into the hands of the drug cartels field says it should be military strategy to not going to have chosen problems rather than brains and anybody who is

thinking about how do we get ordinary people ordinary farmers to see poppies as a cash crop. to protect the backs of our troops we will be thinking about how do we harness this core how do we pay them for it how do we then used. to transfer it into medicines to cancer. burned in afghanistan and kept a secret here in britain no one wants to talk about the u.k.'s opium growing program we asked the farmer and the company they grow for macfarlane smith if they would give us an interview but fallen smith said they wouldn't allow the farmers to talk to us because it's part of that contract with the home office that they keep the poppy growing. the home office also declined to comment while poppies are increasingly harvested in britain the so-called war on drugs is being decisively

lost the u.n. says opium production in afghanistan has been on the rise since the us occupation began in two thousand and one. oxfordshire. stay with us here on r.t. still ahead pill too big to swallow president obama urging voters on lawmakers in the u.s. to back his job creation an economic stimulus package but some say he's fighting the wrong battle in his war against the point. and we'll look at what's behind the reshuffle in the u.s. highest ranks of general david petraeus takes the top job at the cia. but first the israeli embassy in cairo has been attacked by dozens of egyptian protesters they destroyed part of the wall surrounding the building and tore down the israeli flag replacing it with enter gyptian one hundreds of demonstrators have been injured with police using tear gas against the crowd the israeli ambassador and his family were flown out of the country anger swelled last month after security forces corresponding to across the border

a militant attack mistakenly killed five egyptian police officers the protests also come at a time of change for the country even months after the popular uprising that ousted hosni mubarak from power thousands had gathered in the capital stock here swear urging an end to military rule and pressing for urgent reforms president of the arab wars association. worries as long as the groups may ultimately benefit from the rest. of the tickle movements vying for trying to show who is bigger than the other i think this demonstration is only the liberals this islamist not taking in boston it is accusing the other one of trying to show that. the islamists. are not what the election because whatever form election they will definitely get votes then the liberals the decisions will continue i think the egyptian people who will not accept the military continue to be in this five that most of the military as everybody knows

the same old team of. people who pick. them out of that matter because we'd be happy for the military to stay there but i don't think the egyptian people who we. are. president obama is urging voters across the u.s. to get behind his half trillion dollar stimulus package to create jobs and pressure u.s. lawmakers to pass it but the latest white house plan to rescue the economy includes a mix of tax breaks additional government investment and funding to states but gerald's a lengthy publisher of the trends journal says politicians are fighting the wrong battles in the struggle against unemployment if anybody watched you could wonder how any self respecting good could have any respect for these politicians jumping up and down and clapping like trained seals that every two bit lawing all this speech was is obama's campaign speech on one end you have the

republicans that want to cut back in title minson anything going to the people bring in are scary measures and obama promising empty promises the federal reserve and some sixteen trillion dollars in stimulus back to our loans etc and they couldn't create jobs well obama said he wants to create infrastructure jobs perfect but they creating them in the wrong place is creating them in afghanistan here rebuilding iraq now they're going to be rebuilding libya oh it's simple there's a way to solve this back on these massive wars and defense spendings and repatriate the money number one and then listen to what else obama wants to do he wants to open up more free trade pacts oh great export who will enjoy absolve us see why don't you export americans over to china panama indonesia and vietnam to do

them so we have to re trench we have to stop these trade agreements that are raping america all of its resources mental and natural. america's former top commander in afghanistan general david petraeus has taken up a new job as the head of the cia bidding farewell to the army after thirty seven years in uniform or his military contributor looks at the reasons for the move he may seem in consequential but. the first decision general petraeus has made on his way from the pentagon to langley wants to share his military uniform and to present himself in a new incarnation as a total civilians according to the official story general but you're as has an option to come to the cia as of a military or as a civilian and allegedly your wife.
