9:03 pm
some answers we have been told us through the investigative committee that the engines are 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 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 told us that we should go out onto the ice and play for all the guys who lost their lives in this chris who told us to win for them so we need to play our best. for these players practicing here is a special as it was from a visit very arena where the doomed team on their skates for the final time. i met
9:04 pm
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 is 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 their lives their families and relatives. as we sit here to stem the. strength to. my mom my brother 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. also i have a strong greece to win bigger going cop now to win the u.s. championship and indicates maybe courage to my friends who died this year and while

9:06 pm
international's also among the victims with a final emotional farewell to the trio to behold it from sunday. investigation into what caused the tragedy is now focusing on human error technical problems got straight our website or the news on the inquiry into the crash that shocked russia on the whole ice hockey world. security is being stepped up across the u.s. so what authorities say is a credible terror threat with a turn of the nine eleven attacks washington do this international airport has been part of a kid has been sniffing dog triggered an alert and american intelligence intercepted alleged al qaeda communications in pakistan indicating plans to bomb new york or washington and as a partner i reports despite the so-called war on terror many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in that country. ten years ago
9:07 pm
america was blocked by unprecedented terror. was nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost in 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 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 m obey grade and the bob graham air
9:08 pm
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 licks or of nationalism journalist in office 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 a refugee camp something that 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
9:09 pm
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 scrutinize big knives that's in all aspects of our lives i think of americans are really deeply 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 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
9:10 pm
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 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
9:11 pm
americans can't get care we can't have that person on strike but in the years that followed the military are saying no as you know. peter hirohito around the world the man behind i don't have and may have been captured by international safety and yet he deliberately or in a fortnight artsy. and whole god now professor of international and comparative politics about american university of paris says that the us he's the terror of the it's own purposes setting what may be at dangerous precedent the pentagon spending went up roughly to seven point six trillion percent sense that the wars themselves probably cost between two to three point three to two point seven trillion this is really been a drain on the economy though some term eleven attacks of course cost about forty billion in damages plus the three thousand lives and and some say as much as two
9:12 pm
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 slip through the cracks every state can use the war on terror to his 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 international law is certainly been undermined by american actions. since two thousand and one of ghana stone has not only become a battlefield for the war on terror but also for the war on trucks but a decade old military occupation and billions of dollars spent on a counter narcotics campaign have made little headway in cutting opium poppy production in the country but as a lawyer image discovered while nations like the u.k. are disk destroying poppies in afghanistan and with the livelihood of thoughtless
9:13 pm
western countries in are being forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in 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 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 the fields in oxfordshire is the news while the american and british governments repeatedly one of the so-called soft arguments of
9:14 pm
the liberal arguments is that they're fighting a war on drugs this is completely part was a is 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 to 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. america and we follow in behind them. a real sense of what this relationship should be about when you're putting. not to be. a position with the americans to rescind.
9:15 pm
if we look historically has how do we try a new tack frank field 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 backs of our troops so we will be thinking about how do we harness this how do we pay them for it. to transfer it into medicines to come so. burned in afghanistan and kept secret here in britain no one wants to talk about the u.k.'s opium growing program we
9:16 pm
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 three people have died of all over thousand have been hurt in a fierce rioting in cairo during which the israeli embassy was stormed after a large demonstration demanding faster political reforms turned violent declared a state of high alert with most of the embassy staff leaving and the israeli ambassador being recalled to tell of it israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu
9:17 pm
says his country will stick to its peace treaty with egypt just by that time. reports now 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 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 thousands 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 three people were killed we're being told hundreds if not thousands were injured
9:18 pm
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 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
9:19 pm
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 call for a palestinian state. journalist mohamad told r.t. that turn sions between his country any zero have been growing for months but says that cairo has done very little to stabilize the situation. as a result a lot of anger over what israel did recently which basically very 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 suits for a few days outside the israeli embassy the minus traitors are asking the egyptian government to at least expel the israeli ambassador from egypt vision government so mistakingly has not responded to the will of the them on the straight is for weeks
9:20 pm
after weeks they have not been serious enough for responding to the public opinion and because of this in action those the mindless traitors to the law into their own hands and expel the israeli ambassador out of cairo there have been very keen in keeping everything in flows 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 fault or the people living on our border 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. greek prime minister george papandreou has promised to save his debt stricken country from bankruptcy and press ahead with vital reforms in a key speech on the economy and as he spoke police if i tear gas to disperse or angry crowd of protesters in the city of thessaloniki thousands of officers in the

9:22 pm
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 underneath. they oftentimes turn to 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 they've 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 a stereo measures being levied against them today i would argue it has more to do with a 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 and the austerity 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 tunnel been gauzy how walked onto the streets to protest against the actions of the country's new government. the 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 have been given until today to surrender to the needly been leadership as the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader. messages claim he's still in the bed despite reports of his family and some associates crying crossing crossing the border into new share. around two hundred people have died after a ship sank all the mainland tons of sources say the ferry carrying over eight

feeling safer i think it's a difficult thing that common and 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 the war so no i don't think war is to make us feel safer if everyone lives is own business i think everything would be better if we had been here in new york says last week we enter several places right. places we find this a lot of security so we understand all that. because he wasn't before but something we have to understand live with. so we might be safer but we have to give up some things for that well i don't say you will be safe if we try to pick a safer we pretend to be as they appear to be safer that's right i mean during this is very difficult i mean if somebody wants to solve it he will do it so is there anything that anyone can do or is it just what's going to happen it's going to
