going into the final phase which was running and shooting at that point she was the only russian left with a chance to claim the podium spots as her other teammates slipped away below thirty . the combined events which is a little similar to biathlon where athletes run a three thousand meter distance stop i dish it it's our guess separated the cool headed from the rest though the russian's result wasn't enough to win an individual medal to fourth place finish still earned it you have. a place on russia's olympic team. despite the fact that you've posted her personal best results in fan since women she still couldn't win the bronze the shows that we missed can tell from is her competitive you know and to win a tournament an athlete must out to himself but thirty minutes will continue over the next few days with the men's women's and mixed in relays still to come as well

modern. history.

dynamic. month. new seventy sob stories on our team america marks a decade since the tragedy of nine eleven which united a nation that brought about two of the bloodiest wars that the twenty first century . in afghanistan which was invaded by the new rush shortly after the atrocity the loved ones tell of outstation another deadly suicide bombing to discovers on the ground that most afghan civilians don't even know why their country was ever occupied by foreign troops. rush hour and the sports world say goodbye to the country's top national ice hockey team wired dot in a plane crash that killed forty three people. and moscow calls on the international community not to take sides in syria's internal violence as president of it says

negotiation is the only break to peace. just after seven pm here in the russian capital what you're watching on t.v. now it was a tragedy that claimed the lives of thousands in an instant and later brought two wars with an even more devastating death toll the united states is marking a decade since that i'm eleven terror attacks and right now you are looking at live pictures from the new york is celebrating commemorating the victims of the nine eleven terror attacks there. terrorists crashed harddrive planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york as well as the pentagon in washington d.c. a fourth plane came down in the state of pennsylvania remembrance ceremonies are being held at ground zero in new york and all across america well it was the worst strike on u.s. soil in history as united

a nation and its determination to seek out the perpetrators and prevent more death but we american led invasion of afghanistan but followed nine eleven as going back thousands more lives in what's now the longest conflict in u.s. history and art is there an edge again reports the killing didn't stop there. it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest terrorist attack in history in the world and she would be enemy 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's regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. starving assistance. iran aggressively pursues these weapons and actually terror by an unelected few repress the iranian people's hope for freedom. in iraq and change the charges

hostility 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 they use the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan our real target children are real target and go to iraq it also was the low hanging fruit north korea was far more dangerous but too difficult a hundred thousand casualties were predicted by the porn on both sides so 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 top or oil iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's a wrap on or reported 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 others 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 world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a universal or world or sole remaining superpower much of what has happened post nine eleven in the name of responding to nine eleven has been a pretext as terrorism 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 to factor in the region president obama was elected on hopes that he look and the endless wars overseas which most americans

are opposed to but he continues and adds one more another nation and this time in the name of removing an evil dictator. some worry syria could be next we have an executive power that is. by the people by the congress by the courts for war we can go towards a drop of record we've reached the point now where the president can kill people for a state purpose and any time he or she feels. since nine eleven america's war on terror has crossed many borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries the chase for a handful of charisse just 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 pressure one that has no end in sight and reporting from washington our team a suicide bombing in afghanistan as wanted more than seventy american soldiers and killed two civilians is being seen as the taliban's way of marking a decade since nine eleven well the movement issued a statement after sunday's attack denying it had anything to do with events in the u.s. ten years ago nearly ten years after the u.s. led coalition invaded afghanistan it doesn't seem any closer to winning the war there were the taliban are still relentless of the conflicts conflicts estimated to have cost over ten thousand afghan civilians their lives as they're often caught in the crossfire but as u.s. combat troops begin their gradual withdrawal from the country most locals only even know why foreign forces came in the first place. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province that has borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces. afghans in this war torn province think

about nine eleven and its consequences. while in patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven. going to war with us here. never heard of going to. us do they know where it is we don't know so that's because because your former neighbor heard about it for the world. cup. the two young men clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say here no you see in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's only thing i can see when you go show this picture of the guys doing it so i think that was a call but if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are. about their reactions.

so the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never been to kabul it just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country don't understand. that you know you don't think you know you're going to send them to this going to get the airplane from here to attack in the united states you know how much. it was nice to go from iraq to that here is like easy to understand you know why you're here with me see that picture goes good picture remind yourself here's what you see after looking at it in this context where you form if you're in the right. to back that was. saying we're going to help you get to say one building and it is how many buildings and this is going to help you where is the hand. gun with the missing kids going into. fighting for their own kids in a paper to write down and read and write. i do sympathize or understand what your some are saying it's even just from the weather we've had recently people losing

their homes you know we see the hospital so you know when you have when you can feed yourself the earth house yourself are you care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand if there's any doubt about it was about three weeks with us i never thought to ask those questions of but if anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only with the villages the police to nine eleven so with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military but you go this far you see that and i know the syrians have yet to see the physical. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was with american troops that start with during this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans ever having really understood why they came in the first

place i don't put from afghanistan for. well for full coverage of the ten year anniversary of the nine eleven tragedy just go to our web site that's. where we provide you the latest updates and videos well right now at the moment you're looking at live pictures from be a memorial ceremony taking place a ground zero in new york to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the nine eleven attacks families and friends of the victims are attending a citywide moment of silence is being followed by the reading of the names of the victims of the tragedy and you can watch the ceremony live on our web site our team dot com. for terrorist attacks that became synonymous. slaughtered this. stuff. is covered.

ten years on t.v. . look back at nine eleven see. this week russia sporting world was rocked to its core when one of its best hockey teams was all but wiped out in the blink of an eye they got in wednesday when the what they got us levels plane crashed on takeoff and all saturday thousands gathered at the team's stadium to say their final goodbyes to the victims artie shaw thomas witnessed a city in mourning. and waves of emotion poured through jaroslava as residents realize the full weight of the tragedy their country or the lives of some of the city's brightest stars but ended up with an fans of this team for many years our whole family including a little child went to all the games for us is in iraq or below us it's like losing a family member. was that i knew one of the players he was my neighbor and he was a great person he's got two little kids left how could this happen when we saw the

news on t.v. i just burst into tears. and just after four in the afternoon on wednesday the charter plane carrying almost the entire jaroslava locomotive cage and all hunky team crashed shortly after takeoff bursting into a ball of flame after clipping a runway and turner forty three of the forty five on board perished to newark a mostly serious we heard a plane takeoff so we told our granddaughter look there's going to be an airplane then i heard a bang and my daughter told me mom it's falling down to the side but then came the flames and the smoke and we wanted to run away but we didn't know where to run but then we went to the river and saw the plane which would start in the wake of the tragedy of london and put in ordered an immediate and thorough investigation as president medvedev country in one. visiting the crash site and paying his respects . meanwhile fans of the three time championship winning euro slava locomotive team made their voices heard in

a show of solidarity and support. as you can see from the flowers and candles and momentos left here at the stadium the loss of jaroslav was a huge blow to this community but due to the international nature of this team it was a larger loss of for russia and of the rest of the world as well. my friends going to the play and the way to be a couple years ago because of one just just want to give my condolences to the families to. the sweet stuff for the ceremonies to honor the players were held in minsk in bratislava of somber reflection from those who knew the players well. of the title demitra told me he actually wants to quit hockey and he wants to play a little bit more and then leave and spend time with his family so this last conversation came back to my head when i heard about the crash i'm going to only him at least by lighting this candle and only him but everybody who died i would like to express my condolences to his family to his children and wife. saturday

march the end of an official three day mourning period as thousands poured into the stadium to view fourteen coffins on display and say their final goodbyes. we have buried our friends the people who brought us joy and for our country this is an irreplaceable loss for the people of years level and the whole country. and you know snuggle schon thomas archie a lot of the forty five people on board thirty six were squad members coaches and team officials of a committee of and many of them were players and their european national teams along with the league well the warriors services have been held in several countries hundreds of mourners gathered in the quad to honor the three czech hockey players who died in a plane crash that deprived russia of one of its. top clubs they lay flowers and live candles are rarely of the international sports stars and in the mean time in slovakia thousand paying their respects to national team captain paul didn't try

team coaches who knew the players that were involved with the team were deeply moved by the needs. in europe i had the best time of my career that this past spring i flew with all those people by the same plane it was a huge shock for the team and also for the city campbell was a great person and a great hockey player he was a legend of stromberg ice hockey sometime in february or may next year and was still trying to convince him to return back to the national team. i knew them very well even though they were playing abroad still they were always trying to get better. they didn't just want to be a part of the system they wanted to know the details of their positions and how best to school they took a huge interest in what they did and i really enjoyed working with them and coming to you later in the program the memory of hunger and desperation that seventy years of the start of the leningrad blockade one of the deadliest and darkest chapters of

world war two. twenty seven people are reported to have been killed by syrian security forces backed by troops in several towns across the country this comes as the arab league has reached an agreement with president bashar al assad on a lot of promise reforms or the planet proposals for bring an end to the bloodshed release prisoners and hold elections within three years but you also have imposed sanctions on syria that are calling for the u.n. security council to condemn violence in the country the united nations says more than two thousand have died in the uprising since mid march while authorities and develop skills blamed on groups for the unrest. here while russia is urging both sides to start talking to avoid another libya style conflict moscow plans to send a fact finding mission to see. to get a firsthand information on the areas hit by violence the decision was announced after members of the syrian opposition visited the russian capital requested international help all speaking on the sidelines of an international policy for the

russian city of the president made the other said he's concerned about syria but the situation is far from simplistic. the resolutions we will prove to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things are just black and white there and he and the government protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy some of them are to put it straight 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 and 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. well in libya the head of the country's interim government has arrived in the capital tripoli for the first time since it fell to rebel forces most of libya is now controlled by the national transitional

council with gadhafi loyalists have been putting up fierce resistance in bani walid that's one of the last strongholds nato airstrikes continue to assist the rebels in libya south of leader is on the run and now on interpol's wanted list but he's claimed in recent of your messages that he's still in the country program after the fighters have been given until saturday to surrender to the new leadership now in streets across the country celebrations over the end of the old regime been replaced by fear for national reports. a city celebrates for more than ten days the libyan capital has been rejoicing in the dictator's fall. he wanted to hand he's portrayed here in the central square. for his rules for the second anniversary but we put our flag up instead we want we are so happy without him. it seems in the last weeks rebel fighters have fired.

the shot during this small town tripoli parallel to. the libya phenols very very forward. this third gadhafi clearly gadhafi is victor thought. he told all the people love me would that be broken we know you would see that love him all of us what a bridge that is and we don't argue that began with an iraqi with a lawyer but away from jubilant crowds we meet those who are not so pleased i put him on leave and tripoli's district historically pro khadafi by the rebels arrived his sister was badly injured she's still in hospital in tunisia other one doesn't want to show his face on camera and ceased when i hadn't location for the interview he says revolution has brought much fear in its wake. there is no peace there is no safety in the city we don't let our children outside when it's dark we

are afraid we always wait for something bad when gadhafi was here at least we didn't have to sleep awake what we do know. up the rahman says he also want to change and the brighter future for his country is not base way. and people are going on both sides and cities destroyed or no one cares do they seriously think that they changed it for the better good night yourself just look around is that what you wanted. and what is around is a scene of widespread destruction and social chaos the badly damaged buildings matched by the rising stink of garbage and decomposing bodies youngsters roam the streets barely old enough to understand that what they carry are weapons not toys in many shops schools and hospitals are closed while the city's symmetries are growing bigger and bigger shortly after tripoli fell into rebel hands the national

transitional council libya's new authority claimed it was moving here from benghazi but weeks have passed and there is still no sign of order being raced towards the city functioning by south and spreading a fine line between freedom and allocate. tripoli libya. ukraine has been a major transit route for russian gas into europe but now it's losing its key bargaining chip in groups energy industry whether we're putting as though a lot of north stream gas pipeline in northern russia. or ukraine is on longstanding partner any transit country is always tempted to use its exclusive status as a transit state now ukraine will lose its privilege i believe our relations will evolve into an ever more civilized free market partnership.
