6:06 pm
out technical problems so go straight to our web page for all the news on the inquiry into the crash that has shocked russia and the ice hockey world. on the eve of the tariff and about sort of the september eleventh attacks security has been stepped up across the u.s. in response to what the authorities there say is a credible threat so we need terrorist strike american intelligence intercepted communications from an al qaeda operative in pakistan indicating plans for a vehicle bomb plot attack in new york city or washington as all season marina portnoy reports despite its so-called war on terror many of its citizens to still feel vulnerable in the country. ten years ago america was rocked by unprecedented terror. nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost in a post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror.
6:07 pm
begins without god. 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 laden 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 tom obey grade and the bob graham 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 drank deep from that very dark licks or of
6:08 pm
nationalism journalist an offer 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 i mean 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. 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
6:09 pm
becomes easier for the government to scrutinize the guys in this in all aspects of our lives i think that we are going to really deeply deeply worried about this the issue. is larger than just the specific isolated orders even the easier 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
6:10 pm
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 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 of al. still waging war in the name of freedom americans can't get there to get the right but in the years that followed the military see. that the turn. around the
6:11 pm
world the man behind nine eleven may have been. the international feat yet the liver. artsy. professor michael vlahos at the u.s. naval war college says that the last ten years have shown that america should reassess how it uses its main a chief or said 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 better advance our national interest 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
6:12 pm
achieve in the muslim world in other words that we were doing things may have felt good may have address tremendous sense of emotional angst that we felt but in the long run we're traveling in many ways the opposite of what we wanted. later we're out on the streets of new york asking what impact the nine eleven atrocities had on the lives of people living in that city. so things are not predictable you don't know what that's going to happen next and i don't know you kind of more aware of the other through it's just more on the lookout people shouldn't. think of the old. people. accepting that people can be different. so in about ten minutes people on the streets of the big apple have to say about nine eleven ten years after they terrorist attack rocked the city. three people have died while over a thousand have been hurt and furious rioting in cairo during which the israeli embassy was stormed off to launched illustration demanding faster political reforms
6:13 pm
turned violent egypt has declared a state of high alert with most of the embassies stop leaving and the israeli ambassador being recalled to tel aviv israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu says his country will stick to its peace treaty with egypt despite that time. reports now from tel aviv it. 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 higher military council and this is almost as a form of apology for the fact that the police stood by it for several hours while protesting stormed the embassy and the police simply did nothing this resignation has been rejected there were hundreds of protesters they smashed down the embassy
6:14 pm
warned they have documents out of the window they say that two police vehicles and why it they threw molotov cocktails at the police and burned to me is waving flag now police people were killed we've been told hundreds if not thousands were injured many of them by the tear gas that 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 is still seen as 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
6:15 pm
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. of palestinians going to the united nations security council to call for palestinian state. egyptian journalist mohamad chatah told r.t. that tensions between his country needs euro have been growing for months but says that cairo has done very little to stabilize the situation there is a lot of anger of 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 sense there are spin huge huge them on the stray sions and
6:16 pm
a sit in for a few days outside the israeli embassy the minus traitors are the egyptian government to at least expelled israeli ambassador from egypt vision government so mistakingly has not responded to the will of the them on the straight is for weeks after weeks they have not been serious enough for responding to the public opinion and because of this an action those them on the straight is to exert on to their own hands and expel the israeli ambassador out of cairo there have been very keen in keeping everything in place as much as mubarak did but the new variable on the ground is that egypt's public opinion has been liberated and that means they're not going to face silence again when israel commits any act of thuggery on its own our or the people living on our border and that's what has rolled down what happened last night so we have to look at the motivation to make a strategic solution to what has actually been happening. the u.s.

led war on drugs in afghanistan has been ongoing since the fall of the town again in two thousand and one despite millions of dollars being spent on destroying crops afghanistan remains the world leader in opium poppy production but as all he's a lawyer and discovered the crackdown is having an adverse effect with countries like the u.k. now forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in pharmaceutical. 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 that contracts to a pharmaceutical company that turns the opium into morphine and code 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 destroying crops and then having to grow poppies in fields in oxfordshire is being used by the american and british governments repeatedly one of the so-called soft arguments of the liberal arguments is that they're fighting a war on drugs this is completely pointless a is 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 other crops critics m.p. frank field thinks that policy has failed but the americans would budge from america and we follow him behind them. and makes a nonsense of what this relationship should be about when you're putting lives at

medicines to counter. 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 both the farmers and the company they grow for mcfarland 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. oxfordshire. greek prime minister george papandreou has promised to save these debt stricken country from bankruptcy

when faced with the uncertainty of where they're going to get their next meal or where they're going to get a job when jobs don't exist and a future that's just plain bleak and they see a. group of people who have no cultural identity in line with themselves calling the shots as to how they're going to live their futures and the policies are going to live under these of these they oftentimes turned to return to violence and this is not something that's human history i think the politicians it's kind of like the central bankers who people turn to to try to solve the very problems that created these guys are the ones who are responsible at the end of the day people of greece are not going to be any better off under the assyrian measures being levied against them today i would argue it has more to do with the consolidation of 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 agree. as we refer to it will not work it's up to the greek people themselves to determine what the spirit of
6:23 pm
measures will be implemented they certainly don't want to be taking orders i 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 government so we're dealing with a euro zone which is based upon the false premise that central planning works and more central planning conflicts misguided central planning on a national level that has failed miserably obviously in the case of greece and in the case of other other countries in europe and america too for that matter. where around the world anybody or hundreds of people in the rebel tunnel bengazi i walked onto 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 stronghold as nato airstrikes reportedly start in the area the towns held by loyal is being given until saturday to surrender to the need to leave their leadership as the rebels continue this search for the fugitive leader doubt
