10:06 pm
czech internationals are also among the victims with a final emotional farewell to the trio to be held in prague on saturday. and the best to gauge them to would cause the tragedies are now focusing on human error or technical problems go straight to our web page for all the news on the inquiry into the crash that shocked russia and the ice hockey world. security is being stepped up across the u.s. her water authority say is a credible terror threat well the tenth anniversary of the nine eleven attacks washington dulles international airport has been part of our created after a bomb sniffing dog triggered an alert and american intelligence intercepted alleged al qaeda communications in pakistan indicating plans to bomb new york or washington as ati's marina portnoy reports despite the so-called war on terror many u.s. citizens still feel vulnerable in their own country. ten years ago america
10:07 pm
was walked by unprecedented terror. i nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost in a post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins without doubt. but it does not end 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 kuantan i'm obey grave and the bob graham
10:08 pm
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 licks are 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 a refugee camp some in 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
10:09 pm
a 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 big knives that's in all aspects of our lives i think americans are going deep. we worried about this the issue. is larger than just that specific isolated order 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 been arrested and convicted in so-called f.b.i.
10:10 pm
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 around the world only raise more hatred only breeds more bad feelings only reinforced many narratives there and violent you know narratives 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 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
10:11 pm
america again terror began at the right but in the ten years that followed military saying. that he turned. around the world the man behind nine eleven may have been captured but international safety had yet to be delivered in a fortnight hard sci fi. and form of our continued not george kenney says that in spending billions of dollars in overseas operations the us has gone too far and should focus on the well being of its citizens at home instead. this whole idea of a war on terror has been an enormous distraction from real fundamental serious problems here in the united states and despite everything that mr obama said despite everything that the republicans have said what we really need is a paradigm shift where we're concerned with the well being of americans that most americans don't really understand what the united states is doing they don't
10:12 pm
understand that we're spending and unbelievably mind boggling amount of money on making people's lives miserable around the world that we have all these military toys that we use but those toys cause death and destruction i find it hard to imagine that anybody outside the united states thinks what the united states does is rational reasonable or necessary so when are we in a safer place the answer is in fact a clean no we're not we're making the world war difficult more dangerous we're getting more people mad at us and we ought to understand that. since two thousand one of ghana's time 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 of narcotics campaign have made little headway in cutting opium poppy production in the country but he's a lawyer and has discovered while nations like the u.k. are destroying poppies in afghanistan and with it the livelihood of farmers western
10:13 pm
countries are now being forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in from a few tickles. 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 co dean 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 the teacher is being used by the american and british governments repeatedly one of these so-called soft arguments
10:14 pm
of the liberal arguments is that they're fighting a war on drugs this is completely the point was it 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 british m.p. frank field thinks that policy has failed but the americans would budge from american. and we follow in behind them. i mean what this relationship should be. when you're pushing. not to be. in a position with the americans to rethink a strategy which. has failed if we look historically
10:15 pm
has. 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. 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 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 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 the farmers and the company they grow for smith if they would give
10:16 pm
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 all over a thousand have been hurt in fia's writing in cairo during which the israeli embassy was stormed off for a large demonstration demanding fosdike 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 time policy
10:17 pm
of reports now from tel of 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 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 many of them by the tear gas of the police were forced to use to disperse the crowd
10:18 pm
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 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 as always 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
10:19 pm
a critical juncture for israel just days ahead. of palestinians going to the united nations security council to call for a palestinian state. gyptian journalists not. told r.t. that tensions between his country and he's real have been growing for months but says that cairo has done very little to stabilize the situation there is a lot of anger at 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 expelled 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 for
10:20 pm
responding to the public opinion and because of this in action those them on the straight as thirds along 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 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. prime minister george papandreou has promised to save his dead stricken country from bankruptcy and present head with vital reforms in the case speech and they called me and as he spoke police fired tear gas to disperse an angry crowd of protesters in the city of the saloniki thousands of officers in the largest ever deployment of police in the

10:22 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 of they 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 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 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 i mean a sturdy 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 decade after the horrible man eleven terrorist attacks on the u.s. how is the world changed this week let's talk about that there were these i won't say more days. but it's more like so 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 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
10:26 pm
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 i'm not for war so no i don't think war is to make us feel safer if everyone lines is own business i think everything would be better if we had been here in new york last week we enter. the places we find this a lot of security so we understand all that. because he wasn't before but 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 safer tend to be safer that's right i mean during the spirit if somebody wants to say 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 the way of thinking of people like
