triggering for me kevin over near moscow tonight it's now nine pm when you're watching r.t. international our top story the stadium where russia's lokomotiv ice hockey team played their last game has been transformed today into a venue of mourning and t. is more than one hundred thousand people attended a ceremony in memory of the team and all others that perished on board the yak forty two plane in a crash on wednesday our correspondent sean thomas witnessed the city's grief. very somber day here in as thousands of people came to pay their final respects to the team members of the locomotive team today's events saw thousands of people from around russia from around the city of different teams from around the country as well coming to say their a last goodbyes to these team members now the fourteen caskets that were viewed here today have been taken away so that they can have

a private ceremony with their families and be laid to rest around the jaroslav area some of the stories of the people who were part of this team have come to light as these three days of mourning have the past one team member proposed to his girlfriend just before this crash took place and was looking forward to starting a family another woman twenty nine years old and she was a flight attendant on the plane and had just gotten married three months prior to the crash and was planning on leaving the aviation industry so that she could start a family with her new husband who also know of one team player who had decided to leave hockey that this was going to be his last season and of course unfortunately passing away on the way to the first game of his final season one of the tragedies of this entire incident is that this team was so young the youngest person being only twenty years old many lives cut short in such a tragic event and now the community looks to move forward to rebuild if you will

there is some comfort in the fact that the investigation is starting to brew duce some answers we have been told us through the investigative committee that the engines that were working fine on this airplane but people are starting to find out exactly what happened as people pieced together the final moments of this flight before it burst into flames but beyond the actual technical aspects of it there is a sense that this community wants to rebuild the hockey spirit here as well we know that former. amount of team have said that they will leave their respective clubs and come back to help build the hockey tradition we also have the opportunity to speak to some of the younger players the next generation of professionals if you will and this is what they had to say about moving forward as a city continues to mourn one very dedicated group of young men have choosing to honor their heroes in a unique way by getting back on the ice with the pull of the mother the coach told us that we should go out onto the ice and play for. us he told us to win for them

so we need to play our best advice for these players practicing fear is special as it was from this barrier you know for the doomed team on 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 in very high spirits. one coach working with his news team was supposed to be on the fly and though he's back working now his thoughts are still strong for those affected by this tragic loss i think it's hard hearted voter. but that family's relative sense has recently missed them the. strength to do. this everybody and for 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. also i have a strong wish to. championship and dedicate a victory to my friends who died this year and while this team practices an even younger group is ready to follow in their footsteps. some of them play if you don't mind where you are still he told us about them in ca one more you need to. made in the team only ever going to talk market cool i want to be needing that movie does extensive know committee next week i'm scheduled to be tested for the club the county is going to come right through. proving that even though they've gone from the ice the members of this ill fated locomotive team will continue to be in the hearts and minds of the people of jaroslav all and the nation for generations to come in your struggle sean thomas r t. so i was

a city girl given sports stars families and loved ones who had to r.t. dot com for the latest updates investigate the continuing to rule out theories behind the deadly catastrophe the now concentrating on the possibility of pilot error or technical problems you want to keep up to date with the latest you can on our website out. security is being stepped up across the u.s. following a terror threat on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the september eleventh attacks american intelligence intercepted communications from al qaeda operative in pakistan indicating plans for a vehicle bomb plot against new york city or washington but is out is more important reports next a decade on many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in their own country. ten years ago america was blocked by unprecedented terror. nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost in

a post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins with al qaida. 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 the hunt for osama bin ladin america strikes back afghanistan is home to put bombs and missiles from the air in the sea then a preemptive pounding into iraq. in the decade that followed america's fight for freedom has been stained by torture secret detention and rendition human rights violations symbolized by landmarks like one ton i'm obey grade and the bob graham air base prison we had garnered the empathy not only of the world but 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 deep from that very dark a lick sort of nationalism journalist in office chris hedges says america's terror unleashed throughout the middle east has opened a pandora's box of evil estimates are 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 and the terror that we have unleashed will not go on paid it is and it will strike us eventually however in a post nine eleven america citizens have been forced to compromise their. freedom 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 as it becomes easier for the government to scrutinize the niceness in all aspects of our lives i think of americans are deeply deeply worried about this the issue. is larger than just the specific isolated orders even danger that is all around us much of it right here at home from 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. the four men intended to carry out their plan today dozens of muslim americans have been arrested and convicted in so-called f.b.i. for oil 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 the plot had not been brought to them on a platter by the u.s. government are now in jail and we have you know snowball the violence that's going on around the world only raise more hatred only raise more bad feelings only reinforced many narratives there and a violent narrative of american imperialism around the world and we i think we've created more enemies than friends you know if we targeted communities rather than making them partners not only has it not made us any safer i think that it has undermined you know the very fabric of american society the fabric of a post nine eleven america that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader. still waging war in the me not really america i guess began the process all right but in the ten years that followed the military see. peter. around the

world the man behind nine eleven have been captured the international feat yet delivered or enough or not artsy. well or speak more shall we about the sort of changes nine eleventh's brought to airport security with a man that knows a lot about a former american airlines pilot and member of the spectrum group civil aviation team are good see you get on the program tonight what a ten years it's been since nine eleven billions have been spent on airport security in the united states indeed around the world but does it really protect all of us from another potential terrorist attack i mean thinking back to nine eleven hijackers didn't really have any large scale weaponry big guns or anything like that and they still managed to seize the planes. well you know that's all true and i guess the question really boils down to is are the measures that we've taken have that made us as a society safer. fundamentally i think the answer would be yes it has but

many ways was still very reactive to what happened on nine eleven a lot of what the hijackers had taken on the aircraft were not prohibited items since that time i mean it's a longer list of what's not allowed to be taken on an aircraft any longer and i think one of the things that you see now is the harder levels of scrutiny. not always done in the best manner certainly here in the united states we're not effectively using behavioral training for our airport and airline personnel who would be certainly a vailable on a much greater basis to be able to mitigate or prevent all together threats that would come through an airport or on an aircraft but a use of canines go to training there's a lot that still has to be done marc i guess looking back there's been some success

because if you look at it this way the u.s. hasn't been attacked in ten years and if you think back to that fall plot in two thousand and six in the u.k. involving that the liquid bombs that was foiled as well so i guess it means that these security regulations all working and therefore they are completely necessary when we have to see them ease off do you think. well i think what you're also seeing is better intelligence and better intelligence sharing certainly amongst international agencies and even within the united states there are still difficulties and agencies being very parochial and per private terry when it wants to come to sharing information but i think what you've seen is a greater understanding that in order to prevent this from happening again we have to share information amongst the agencies that will help prevent it domestically and internationally. as we progress as we move ahead i think you'll

see as technology and human resources become more readily available you'll see a a different way of going about this security module that we currently have right now and i think it will be more people and customer friendly than what you're seeing today and will technology be involved. well i think technology will always be there it has to be there but i think that's only a component of it in the past especially in the sky the united states in this country we've relied very heavily on technology as the fundamental tool that we've used for preventing another nine eleven or a similar type incident but i think what we're now getting away from is complete reliance on that and going more to human intelligence behavioral training the canines as i mentioned i think now we're starting to put together

a package that makes much more sense and truthfully offers more layers of protection and would be more effective more you spoke just now but the sharing of information of course that highly controversial issue of the personal data of millions of transatlantic passengers including their credit card details no dresses is allowed to be stored now for up to fifteen years is needed by the u.s. homeland security so does the war on terror really justify sacrificing is ones previously a lot of people are worried about the sinister side to this is well. you know i agree with you i think there is a downside to all of this and i think we in the united states and truthfully around the world everybody's given up some civil rights and civil liberties that hopefully as we progress and we refine the systems and the way we operate those those detriments that are currently veron in place right now perhaps we can reduce that

and prevent those from staying in place and doing a better job of keeping our rights as citizens in the world and preventing incidents from happening it's a balancing act knows that saying go it's nil wind blows nobody any good i mean thinking about the atrocities ten years ago a lot of people say it's been used by certain companies or individuals to make profits thinking about the security measures they don't come cheap. no they really don't and certainly in the united states it had a devastating effect on our economy and when you take a look at around the world it certainly has a very negative impact everywhere around the globe but there are ways of getting around that and by using more human resources i think we can more cost effectively promote levels of security and screening and i think it will actually do a better job just the last ten years ago just asking a person i don't know well you a pilot still that old you left the business by that i'm just dropping back ten

years ago from your experience as a pilot you ever think something like that could have happened we will remember the day those of us this those of us that are old enough to remember it. ten years ago i was a captain with american airlines i was actually here in washington d.c. and i was going to be heading up to boston on september eleventh when that event happened for whatever reason my flight was actually cancelled at around five thirty in the morning and i was here where i live in the washington d.c. area and i spent the next number of days at home it's had a dramatic effect on certainly on my life afterwards i became the deputy chairman of security for the pilots union at american airlines and i proudly served on that and so not just at my retirement but i was kept on as a full time security consultant working on these very issues that you talk about.

it was a tragedy that i don't think we thought about at my level at that point in time but certainly to this day it's never left my thought you mentioned before the the liquid bombers one of the targeted flights was actually my flight coming out of london heathrow to new york kennedy it certainly affected me personally but i had a number of friends on our aircraft that were taken down that day. scary thank you for being on the private market says good to see him of ice for todd and the pilot member of the spectrum group civil aviation team it was a lot of good insight for us. now we ask the people of new york what kind of impact the tragedy had on their lives coming up. it's more like our tick so things are not predictable when you don't know what what's going to happen next i don't know you kind of more aware of a of a threat it's just more on the lookout people should change their way of thinking

they are treating other people like accepting that people can be different. and i watch what people on the streets of the big apple have to say about nine eleven ten years after the terrorist attack rocked the city. but if you go same to say about the subject i'm sure you have a look on her website to participate in our latest poll we're asking today what does nine eleven mean for you now ten years old well so far the most popular response is a convenient pretext to invade afghanistan and iraq others of you saying it's a conspiracy to rob americans of their freedoms comes a close second thirty nine percent other theories some view it as a tragedy the nation must learn to let go that's one fall from you and an enemy attack the us will never let it happen again again that so you voted on that r.t. dot com as opposed to contribute your thoughts. to a terrorist attack that became synonymous with. the senseless slaughter of almost street people stopped. a vision of

a new thing. to news on. to. look back at nine eleven and see. he gypsy on high alert after a night of riots in cairo left at least three dead and more than a thousand injured but demonstration for the reform of the country quickly to violent protesters vented their anger against the israeli embassy stormed the building with police slow to react eventually they did manage to push the rioters back with force middies correspondent paula sleep has the latest from tel aviv. israeli officials have condemned this in the act most terms the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that it is simply unacceptable now israel has withdrawn all its embassy staff with the exception of one person that it's keeping in cairo in the hope that it can maintain some kind of diplomatic relations between both countries the egyptian prime minister has offered the resignation of both him

and his cabinet to the highest military council and this is almost as a form of apology for the fact that the police stood by it for several hours while protesters stormed the embassy and the police simply did nothing this resignation has been rejected there were hundreds of protesters they smashed down the embassy warned they found signs of documents out of the window they say it to police vehicles and lie it they threw molotov cocktails at the police and burned to these way the flag now people were killed we've been told hundreds if not thousands were injured many of them by the tear gas of the police were forced to use to disperse the crowd the u.s. defense secretary called cairo while all of this was happening and urged the police there to do something and for something to be done to protect the israeli embassy and it seems as if it was almost off of this phone call that the police intervened in the situation was eventually brought under control the incident was actually sparked by israel's refusal to apologize for killing five egyptian soldiers last month and that was in a cross border raid that israel says was

a mistake but it hasn't gone the step of actually apologizing for those deaths all of this comes just months after the former egyptian president hosni mubarak was ousted here of course was a longtime friend of israel and this is why many here also suspecting that israel because of its traditional behavior is likely to react much strongly in the coming hours if not in the coming days but of course israel is in a delicate position because it needs all the friends that it can have particularly in light of the fact that it is just one week since the israeli ambassador was expelled from turkey all of this coming at a critical juncture for israel just days ahead. palestinians going to the united nations security council to court for a palestinian state. clashes have broken out during and here stare at a rally in the greek city of thessalonica with riot police firing tear gas to disperse protesters a record number of police are on standby as probably mr george peppard dreyer's expected the liver is annual speech on the state of the economy i spoke to economic

analysts and expect to see thinks that playing in the eurozone does more harm than good for greece right now now i would agree with many that have criticized the fact that we are in the euro it really hasn't benefited us all that much and if one looks at the numbers i mean the euro has appreciated about sixty percent since we actually joined which has done nothing track into it greece isn't ready to leave the euro because the eurozone would not be able to throw us out such a we there is actually no not legal exit mechanism in the treaties from the eurozone they could force us practically by cutting off liquidity would you know that it would not be something that would suit anybody to be done in such a chaotic and what hand manner i think this soakers especially over this weekend on greece is a little bit of need i think the biggest problem that the eurozone faces it's on sale e.x.o. organized and it sounds a realize that

a lot of the underlying problems from the fact that it was unable structured truck alina cho's place. elsewhere around the world in libya hundreds of people in the rebel turn of and garcia of walked out of the streets to protest against the actions of the country's new government meanwhile libyan rebels are pulling back from bani walid one of four remaining colonel gadhafi strongholds as nato airstrikes reportedly start in the area the towns held by loyalists had been given until saturday to surrender to the new libyan leadership as the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader khaled gadhafi is latest audio messages claim he's still in libya despite reports of his family and some associates crossing the border into new chair. the arab league's reached an agreement with syrian president bashar al assad about a series of measures to end a long lasting violent crackdown on protesters a big percentage of the meeting of arab foreign ministers in cairo the syrian president was also urged to speed up the phone plans about two thousand reported have been killed in syria since the start of the uprising in march. of these two

going to happen next life is much intense i think so no. every day can can be the last and you think people around the world feel this way. i think in europe in america i think so i don't know you kind of more aware of a threat just more on the lookout do you think that people around the world still keep that vigilant ten years later probably not as much as we did five years ago do you think that the amount of lives lost in the name of the war on terror has been worth feeling safer i think it's a difficult thing the commandant to be honest i have a lot of friends that have fought over there and i would say it's hard every time they leave they are not for war so no i don't think war is to make us feel safer if everyone lines his own business i think everything would be better if we had been here in new york just last week. several places. the places

we find this a lot of security so we understand all that. because he wasn't before but something we have to understand. so we might be safer but we have to give up some things for that well i don't think it will be safe we try to pick a safer we pretend to be safer tend to be safer that's right i mean during the spirit if somebody wants to do something he will do it so is there anything that anyone can do or is that just what's going to happen it's going to happen i don't know people should. try to change bird. way of thinking way of treating other people like accepting that people can be different and not just my way is the right way and let's kill everybody this is not right no matter what you think it's changed the bottom line is we can only hope the world continues to strive to be a safer place.
