lokomotiv ice hockey team has become a pilgrimage site for those mourning the forty three victims on wednesday's plane tragedy which included most of the team and key staff more than one hundred thousand people from all over rushing polluting prime minister vladimir putin came to pay tribute to those who perished on board the yacht forty two airliner which crashed after takeoff from the city on wednesday to survive the horror thomas reports now from a city deep in crete. very somber day here in it jaroslav will 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 jaroslav all different teams from around the country as well coming to say their 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 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 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 exactly what happened as people piece 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 talk to the next generation. of players. people who hope to become professionals and this is what they had to say about moving forward from this tragedy 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 what you love the coach told us that we should go out onto the ice and play for all the guys who lost their lives in this crash he told us to win for them so we need to play our best. for these players practicing here is special as it was from this very arena where the doomed

team their skates for the final time. 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 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 but a part of the life that family for a relative sense also i just recently missed them the. strength to. go on and i'm on my going to 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. but also i have a strong wish to win big are going crop now. championship and indicate

a victory to my friends who died i was young 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 be made in the team oh never going to talk markets cool i want to be needing that movement he does excessive no cooties. let's do it comes to be tested for the club the county is going to come right. through saying that even though they've gone from the ice to members of this ill fated locomotive to continue to be in the hearts and minds of the people of jaroslav and the nation for generations to come. sean thomas . the ceremony has also taken place in slovakia to remember demitra who played for the country's national side and died with his locomotive teammates local players and fans joined the country's prime minister paying tribute in the town of pop

pride in their reno the country's only club three czech internationals were also mungo victims would have final emotional farewell to the trio to behold in prague. and the investigation into what caused the tragedy is now focusing on human aero technical problems so go astray tell what page for all the news on the inquiry into the crash that shocked russia on the ice hockey and. all the will be terrified about your of the september eleventh attacks security is being stepped up across the u.s. in response to all the authorities that say is a credible threat of a new terror 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. marina portnoy reports despite this so-called war on terror many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in that 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. 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 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 grave 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 a lick sort of nationalism journalist an offer 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 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 and is this national security grows as it becomes easier for the government to scrutinize big knives that's in all aspects of our lives i think americans are deeply worried about is the issue. is larger than just the specific isolated or there is even 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 had it 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 fear and violent you know narratives 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 of al qaeda. still waging war in the name of

freedom americans can't get kerry can't have the personal right but in the years that followed the military are saying no as you know. the term here and around the world the man behind nine eleven may have been captured by international safety and yet to be delivered or in a fortnight artsy meet. and hole card now professor of international and comparative politics at them that and university of paris says that the u.s. used the war on terror at for its own purposes fighting what may be a dangerous precedent the pentagon spending went up roughly to seven point six trillion percent since then the wars themselves probably cost between two to three point three to two support seven trillion this is really been a drain on the economy not some ten or eleven attacks of course cost about forty billion in damages plus the three thousand lives and and some say as much as two

trillion to the stock market but we just added on to that disaster with their own misconceived strategy of their war in iraq had nothing to do with al qaida in afghanistan the goal there seem to be more against the taliban than al tied itself has been one slipped through the cracks every state can use the war on terror to its own purposes they look at the united states the united states did that then we can do that too and therefore it's opened a real pandora's box that we don't know what to expect the rule of law all of international law has certainly been undermined by american actions. since two thousand and one of ghana's town has not only become a battlefield for the war on terror but also for the war on drugs but a decade of military occupation and billions of dollars spent on account and not call takes come pain has made little headway in cutting opium poppy production the country but as aussies lorena discovered while nations like the u.k. are destroying poppies in afghanistan and with the livelihood of from

a western countries and are being forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in pharmaceuticals. in the rolling fields of oxfordshire 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 under contract 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 are we destroying crops and then having to grow poppies in fields in which are 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 part was a it's not true it's not what the war is about and we should own up to that 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 budge from america and we follow in pursuit behind them. and makes a nonsense of what this relationship should be about when you're pretty. not to be . in as a bargaining position with the americans to rethink a strategy which most people think. if we look historically

has. how do we try a new tack frank fields and his group poppy real. 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. grow the 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 troops we will be thinking about how do we harness this how do we pay them for it. to transfer it into medicines to. 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 farmers and the company they grow for 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 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. three people have died while over thousand have been hurt in fierce rioting in cairo during which the israeli embassy was stormed after a large demonstration demanding faster political reforms turned violent egypt has declared a state of high alert with most of the embassy staff 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 todd. reports 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 wall they found signs of documents out of the window they say that two police vehicles and why 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 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. 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 of palestinians going to the united nations security council to call for a palestinian state. egyptian journalist mohammed abdel fatah told r.t. that terms between his country israel have been growing for months but says that cairo has done very little to stabilize the situation. there is a lot of 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 the sit in a few days outside the israeli embassy the minus traitors asking the egyptian government to at least expel the israeli ambassador from egypt vision government so mistakingly has not responded to the will of them on

a straight is for weeks after weeks they have not been serious enough to respond to the public opinion and because of this an action those them on the straight is to exert loan 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 folder or the people living on our food 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. greek prime minister george papandreou has promised to save his that stricken country from bankruptcy and press ahead with vital reforms in a key speech on the economy he spoke please to and angry crowds of protesters in

the city of thessaloniki thousands of offices and the largest ever deployment of police in the country stand by with large until. this weekend we credited sara keyes in athens how it being too slow in cutting jobs and privatizing the state outfits figures that will decide by the end of the month the government is doing enough to get the next eight billion euro bailout installment critical and crucial for the greek economy to staff let me while it is a collapse signed the daily dot com says the greek people should not tolerate having the will of the red brussels imposed on. all of i was greek i certainly would feel like i've had enough to do with the whole charade that's been going on you know these are sturdy 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 when jobs don't exist in

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 turn turn turn 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 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 greece as we refer to it. will not work it's up to the greek people themselves to determine what hysteria 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 governance 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 the 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. also around the world in libya hundreds of people in the rebel town of benghazi are walked to the streets to protest against the actions of the country's new government meanwhile libyan rebels of any wanted one of the remaining colonel gadhafi strongholds nato airstrikes reportedly start in the area towns held by loyalists and been given until saturday to surrender to the need to be leadership as the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader pedal gadhafi messages claim his still and be good distance reports that he's family and some associates cross it crossing the border into new share. around two hundred people have died after

reporter in new york dory often it's been out on the city's streets asking people how the world has changed in the decade since then. 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 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 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 and 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 to comment on 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 i'm not for war so no i don't think war is to make us feel safer if everyone lives its own business i think everything would be better if we had been here in new york just last week we enter several places right now. the places we find this a lot of security so we understand all that is because he wasn't before but something we have to understand. that we might be safer but we have to give up some things for that well i don't say you will be safe we try to pick a safer we pretend to be as they appear tend to be safer that's right i mean during the spirit if you can somebody who wants to do something 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 people should. try to change bill. i don't think i'm aware of. people accepting that people can be different and not just all roads. lead screw everybody this is not right no matter what you think it's changed the bottom line is we can only hope the world continues just strive to be a safer place. for the fourth time in its history be top prize at the venice film festival will be finding its way to russia south to alexander the curves movie files other bibles to win the golden lion the jury was united in its decision it would have been i don't know if ski praising the pictures saying it would change viewers for ever with two days of shooting and the overall prize time got over nine million dollars phallus stayed fit curves and most ambitious project inspired by god has tragedy they've
