the. day's news and this week's top stories the day that defied the world of remembering the terror attack that prompted america to launch a global policing mission that nanny experts claim as made the world more dangerous . for every young russia bids farewell to the players of a top national ice hockey team who perished in a plane crash that killed forty three. moscow is to send a fact finding mission to syria as president bit of refuses to take sides in the conflict saying talks are the only way to peace.

to me i am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me were you know josh it was the day that changed history americans and the world were shocked by the worst terrorist attack ever on u.s. soil in the decade that followed washington waged its war on terror with the aim of preventing a nine eleven from ever happening again but critics say conflict has become an obsession with a price tag of billions of dollars as guide and she count reports in our special coverage. it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest here's the time in history either whether she were pm to me that's that's clear but the circle of america's enemies grew quickly and included nations that had nothing to do with nine eleven they were defined by george bush as the axis of evil some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since september eleventh. but we know their true nature. north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. starving us citizens

. iran aggressively pursue zs weapons and actually parched terror while an unelected few repressed the iranian people so for freedom. iraq and change the scientists are still lead toward america and to support terror two years after nine eleven the us invaded iraq on the grounds that he had weapons of mass destruction and was doing business with al qaida grounds which proved to be false hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the invasion will use the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan our real target should have been our real target and go to iraq it also was the low hanging fruit north korea was far more dangerous but too difficult one hundred thousand casualties were predicted by the corner on both sides seoul would be destroyed iran was too difficult seventy million people not fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia christian and other as for the motives behind invading iraq some talk or oil

iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's a rat's own or report well he plans to be a thirteen million barrels per day production capacity in seven years that surpasses saudi arabia now you know why dick cheney went to war in iraq there's blame america's self assigned rule as the world's policeman the driving idea behind it is that it has them on externality of the idea is that the but world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a unit whole or world a sole remaining superpower much of what has happened post nine eleven in the name of responding to nine eleven has been a creature text as kerry's and was no longer the only reason for landing on washington's enemy list the us had even more far reaching plans on the table former vice president dick cheney says he urged the bush administration to bomb syria. at

one time because of its alleged nuclear weapons program a move which experts say would have had disastrous effect on the region president obama was elected on hopes that he would and the endless wars overseas which most americans are opposed to but he continues and adds one more another oil rich nation review and this time in the name of removing an evil dictator. some worry syria could be next we have a an executive power that is. by the people and by the congress or by the courts for war we can go toward the drop of a coin we've reached a point now where the present in the united states can kill people for state purposes any time he or she feels the need since nine eleven america's war on terror has cost many borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries the case for a handful of terrorists has turned the lives of entire nations upside down we're talking

about hundreds of thousands of innocent lives taken by the decade of constant war and many worry that a tragedy as great as nine eleven has served as a pretext for an even greater tragedy one that has no end in sight i'm going to check out reporting from washington our team to washington's response to the attacks especially the invasion of iraq and afghanistan received massive global criticism bill van auken a member of the international it's world board of the world socialist web site says the wars just happened to suit us foreign policy you know we're always told nine eleven changed everything and certainly it is a changing point in american and world history but i think if you look at what took place in the aftermath of nine eleven they don't flow from the agreements they flow from policies that had been in the works for at least the previous decade the perception among a whole layer and really became the predominant layer of american foreign policy makers that are unocal the moment have

a. a reason the united states could carry out its will by military force anywhere in the world and it could use military force to reverse what has become more and more evidently an economic decline decline in its position on the world stage take iraq i mean saddam hussein was an opponent of al qaida i be invented reasonable but i think what he had relations with regard to which you know everyone admits was a lie they claimed he had weapons of mass destruction which now everyone knows was a lie so what you do with the war is not to protect the american people but to serve the interests of the elite that run this country the talk one concern for corporations the banks that saw in wars of plunder the ability to get ever more wealth and consolidated american grip on the oil resources of the world. one of the parent consequences of the war on terror has been a rise in islamophobia both in america and abroad speaking of political scientists and former u.s. national security adviser told r.t.

that from the outset washington adopted the wrong approach in its fight that. the response should not generalize to this. particular religious phenomenon but it's a political issue in which our objective ought to be to isolate the terrorists from their political cultural national context and require avoiding stigmatise from the phenomena as a generalized islamic phenomenon and view it as an aberration. against which we can mobilize most of the support there at picking out permits i think we didn't do that well said large the theater of war from the get on the stand for the iraq and as a consequence we have become embroiled in much larger regional political conflict i'm not some sort of the religious who say. looks like the picture synonymous with. the senseless slaughter of some

people and stop the last. summer's publishing. song potsie number six. a look back at nine eleven see. a tragic loss hit the sports world this week fans and families are mourning the victims of a plane crash in central russia which killed almost the entire locomotive jaroslava ice hockey team over one hundred thousand people came to pay their last respects to have much loved players in their hometown shine thomas looks at the catastrophe. and waves of emotion poured through jaroslav all as residents realize the full weight of the tragedy their country or the lives of some of the city's brightest stars but he ended up with the fans of his team for many years our whole family

followers of some refined european models of democracy some of the markets right extremists and some might even be called terrorists the situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests russia may support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the one sided condemnation of the government of president assad we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. all syrian government claims the unrest has been orchestrated by armed groups aimed to destabilize a country dr tawfik shamar from philadelphia university in jordan says both the authorities and protesters are responsible. there's two thousand people or so of the say about these two thousand maybe there are insurgents or some of them are but remember there is also one thousand soldiers killed in syria so these one thousand soldiers impossibile that have been killed by by peaceful demonstration let me if
