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 we 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 young this 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
5:03 pm
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 ice and play for all the guys. who told us to win for them to play our best. for these players practicing here is a special as it was from this very. team their skates for the final time.
5:04 pm
i met them on the fifth and sixth of september their training sessions before minsk they were confident and quite optimistic and determined all of them were in very high spirits. one coach working with his youth team was supposed to be on the flight back working now his thoughts are still strong for those affected by this tragic loss i think it's hard hearted. families relatives. as we. miss them. to do. this everybody and for the next generation of jaroslava locomotive 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. so i have a strong. championship and did it gave it to my friends who died
5:05 pm
this year and while this team practices even younger group is ready to follow in their footsteps. some of the players who don't mind where some are still here tell us about them in ca one more you need to. made in the team only ever going to talk markets cool i want to be needed in that movie he does extensive not committees next do we come from gadgets to be tested for the club the county is going to come right through. proving that even though they have gone from the ice to members of this ill fated locomotive team will continue to be in the hearts and minds of the people of jaroslav will and the nation for generations to come in your saliva sean thomas marty. the city was robbed of its sports stars its family members loved ones the investigation into what went so tragically wrong continues in our website our tito commun keep up with the late do some of the initial theories behind the deadly plane crash is slowly being ruled out one by one now the focus has shifted
5:06 pm
to the possibility of part of their own technical problems we want to keep abreast of the latest go to our website. security is being stepped up across the u.s. after a tariff threat on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the september eleventh attacks american intelligence intercepted communications from an al qaeda operative in pakistan indicating plans for a vehicle bomb plot against new york city or washington a decade on many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in their own country not his report i report. ten years ago america was rocked by unprecedented terror. nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost and a post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins without god. but it does not in there. it will not end until
5:07 pm
every terrorist group of global reach has been found stopped and defeated washington's military reach began with the hunt for osama bin laden america strikes back afghanistan is home with 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 kuantan i'm obey grade and the blogger airbase 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 dragged from that very door a lick sort of nationalism journalist and author chris hedges says america's terror
5:08 pm
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 and the terror that we have unleashed will not go on but 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 and as this national security state grows and as it becomes easier for the government to. ignite us in all aspects of our lives i think of americans are. worried about is the issue.
5:09 pm
then just the specific isolated order is it is a danger that is all around us and much of it may be 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 we have you know snowball the violence that's going on
5:10 pm
around the world only raise more hatred only raise more bad feelings only reinforced many narratives very violent narratives of american imperialism around the world and we 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 name of freedom america again began at the right but in the years that followed military see no. around the world the man behind nine eleven may have captured the international scene and yet some of our fortnight artsy. spoke to professor michael said the
5:11 pm
u.s. naval war college he told me that the last ten years show that americans should rethink how to use its military forces and what i think the u.s. needs to do now is to look very harshly and colorfully changes that are going on in the world the most powerful truth to come out of the last ten years is the relative ineffectiveness of the u.s. military in achieving the kinds of goals that were set forward and we have to begin to think to rethink very strongly what is military effectiveness how can military force be used in ways that advance our national interests that reinforce our sense of who we are that do well for us in the world and also do well for the world as a whole they were the wrong kinds of choices for what we wanted in the long term to achieve in the muslim world in other words that we were doing things may have felt good may have addressed tremendous sense. that we felt but in the long run we're
5:12 pm
cheating in many ways the opposite of what we want it. well we are so people knew your what kind of impact the tragedy had on their lives coming up surely. it's more like our tic saw things are unpredictable you don't know what that's going to happen next i don't know you kind of more aware of a threat it's just more on the lookout people should. think of a way of treating other people like accepting that people can be different in about ten minutes time or watch more people the streets of big apple have to say about nine eleven ten years after the terrorist attack. he jumped on high alert after a night of riots in cairo left at least three dead and more than a thousand injured the demonstration for reform in the country quickly turned violent as protesters vented their anger against the israeli embassy mob stormed the building with police slow to react the vision of the did manage to push the rioters back with force paula slee reports from tel aviv. israeli officials have
5:13 pm
condemned this in the most terms 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 burnt an israeli flag now please people were killed we're being told hundreds if not thousands were injured many of them by the tear gas of the police were forced to use to disperse
5:14 pm
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 he 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
5:15 pm
a critical juncture for israel just days ahead of palestinians going to the united nations security council to call for a palestinian state. journalist told us about who's ready sentiments be brewing in this country from. told me is no surprise the more targeted the embassy. there is a lot of anger over what israel did recently which basically they crossed the border from israel into egypt killed a number of egyptian soldiers and they promise investigation and nothing has not been delivered yet ever since there are spin huge huge them on a stray sions and a sit in there for a few days outside the israeli embassy minus traitors asking the egyptian government to at least expel the israeli ambassador from egypt but this is not the first time that israeli troops killed people all soldiers in the border area egypt's public opinion has been liberated and that means they're not going to face
5:16 pm
silence again when israel commits any act of thuggery on its own our forwarder or the people living on our board and that's what has brought down what happened last night so we have to look at the motivation to make a strategic solution to what has actually been happening. let me take your address the world has more news in brief in libya hundreds of people in the rebel turn and guards who have walked out of the streets to protest against the actions of the country's government meanwhile libyan rebels are pulling back from bani walid one of four remaining colonel gadhafi strongholds of nato airstrikes reportedly started the area turns held by loyalists have been given till saturday to surrender to the new libyan leadership with the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader in his latest already of messages he claims he still it'd be a despite reports of his family and some associates crossing the border today share . the arab league has reached an agreement with syrian president bashar al assad about a series of measures to end the long lasting violent crackdown on protesters would
5:17 pm
be presented during a meeting of arab foreign ministers in cairo the syrian president was also works to speed up reform plans about two thousand people have been killed in syria since the start of the uprising in march. at least a hundred eighty seven have died after a. ship sank off mainland tanzania authorities say the ferry was currently say eight hundred passengers at the time when it capsized after it left port heavily overloaded authorities say six hundred twenty survivors have been recovered from the waters so far but tough conditions are hampering the search and rescues have requested foreign help from kenya and south africa. the great problem is george graves promised to save his debt stricken country from bankruptcy and press ahead with the reforms in a key speech on the economy as he spoke police fired tear gas to disperse an angry crowd of protesters in the city of thessaloniki thousands of offices in the largest ever deployment of police in the country on standby to my knowledge on the protests
5:18 pm
across the weekend. recusing athens however big too slow in cutting jobs and privatizing state assets the year is over the side of the end of the month if the government is doing enough to get the next eight billion euro bailout installment crucial for the greek economy to stay afloat and the wall is that it through the political website the daily bell dot com he told me the greek people should not tolerate having the will of you see brussels posed to them. well if i was greek i certainly would feel like i've had enough to do with the whole charade has been going on you know these asperity cuts are really really much much deeper than people realize these are cuts that are reaching into people's homes and lives and people when faced with the uncertainty of where they're going to get their next meal or where they're going to get a job but when jobs don't exist and a future that's just plain bleak and they see an outside group of people who have no cultural identity in line with themselves calling the shots as to how they're
5:19 pm
going to live their futures and the policies are going to live underneath they they oftentimes turn to turn turn to violence and this is not something that's new in history i think the politicians it's kind of like the central bankers who people turn to try to solve the very problems created these guys are the ones who are responsible at the end of the day all the people who decided that it was in the best interests of the people of greece because this isn't about greece it's about people and the people of greece are not going to be any better off under the a stereo measures being levied against them today i would argue it has more to do with a consolidation consolidation that puts more power in the hands of the euro kratz and takes away even. more of the national identity that belongs to whatever's left of greece as we refer to it will not work look no one no one is going to sit here and suggest certainly not me that greece has been fiscally responsible but nonetheless it's up to the greek people themselves to determine what is staring measures will be implemented they certainly don't want to be taking orders i
5:20 pm
wouldn't think from people sitting in brussels and the i.m.f. who are trying more or less to consolidate the power to drive what i consider to be towards one world governance i don't know where the euro zone is going but i would suggest that it's not good for the people of europe in their various respective countries to be allowing the anglosphere lead to push for even more centralization the more you remove the power for decision making away from the individual the less effective the decision making is and the more dysfunction you're going to have within your economy and within your political and social. structures and that is what we're dealing with here we're dealing with a euro zone which is based upon the false premise that central planning works and that more central planning can fix that misguided central planning on a national level that has failed miserably obviously in the case of greece and in the case of other countries in europe and america too for that matter the u.s. led war on drugs in afghanistan has been ongoing since the fall of a ton about in two thousand and one despite millions of dollars being spent on
5:21 pm
destroying crops afghanistan remains the world lead through an opium poppy production but it's not his lore emma discovered the crackdown is having an adverse effect with countries like the u.k. now forced to grow their own puppies to plug the show to due pharmaceuticals. in the rolling fields of oxfordshire at this time of year you'll probably see we barley ripening for the harvest but dry springs and warm summer's have enabled these farmers to plant a very different type of crop opium poppies they're under contract to a pharmaceutical company that turns the opium into morphine and coding 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 we destroyed and then having
5:22 pm
to grow poppies in fields in oxfordshire is the news while the american and british governments repeatedly one of the so-called soft arguments of the liberal arguments which is that they're fighting a war on drugs this is completely pop was a it's not true it's not what the war is about 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 the crops british m.p. frank field thinks that policy has failed but the americans would budge from america and we follow him to sit behind them. and makes a nonsense of what this relationship should be about when you're putting. not to be . in as a bargaining position with the americans to rethink
5:23 pm
a strategy which most people think is. if we look historically has for how do we try a new tack frank fields and his group poppy. relief 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 going after we have chosen crumbs 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 how do we pay them for it and how do we then used. to transfer it into medicines to. burned in afghanistan and kept
5:24 pm
a secret here in britain no one wants to talk about the u.k.'s opium growing program we asked both the farmers and the company they grow for macfarlane smith if they would give us an interview macfarlane 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 hush hush 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 laura and it oxfordshire. to our top story coverage of the tenth anniversary of nine eleven and the event was the worst act of terrorism on american soil and the spark that ignited the war against al qaida but despite the killing of osama bin ladin a scar on the big apple remain to this day is already half of us found out as she
5:25 pm
spoke to people of new york. a decade after the horrible man eleven terrorist attacks on the us how is the world changed this week let's talk about that there were this i won't say more dangerous but it's more like our tick saw things are predictable you don't know what what's going to happen next the 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
5:26 pm
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 right now. the places we find this a lot of security so we understand all that. because he wasn't before but it's something we have to. live with. 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 as they appear to be safer that's right i mean during the suspended if somebody wants to solve it 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
5:27 pm
people should. try to change bill. i think it will treats a lot of people like accepting that people can be different and not just my way is the right way and let's cue 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 fair play. now the showbiz news to wrote this for the fourth time in its history the top prize at the venice film festival finding its way here to russia themselves to alexander movie fast beat all for the rivals to go live through if you'd like to this decision was paid off scheme appraising a picture saying you can change your views forever. with two years of shooting in an overall price tag of nine million dollars first is of course most ambitious project inspired by tragedy the dialogue in german is yet to be translated to other
