with a look back at the past seven days top stories and the latest developments this is the weekly on r.t. 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 in the states and marking a decade since the nine eleven attacks terrorist crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york in the pentagon in washington a fourth plane came down in the state of pennsylvania remembrance ceremonies are being held at ground zero new york and all across america it was the worst strike we were saw in history and united a nation in its determination to seek out in public places and prevent more deaths the american led invasion of afghanistan that followed has claimed thousands more lives and what's now the longest conflict in u.s. history. reports the killing doesn't stop there. it started as

a war on terror spawned by the deadliest terrorist attack in history you know whether she with the enemy has steps 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 while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursue these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the iranian people's hope for freedom. if you back and change the shot a shot 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 higher grounds which proved to be faults hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the invasion they used 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 in north korea was far more dangerous than too difficult hundred thousand casualties the brother. soul 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 of well iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's a reaction or report. 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 to monex ability of the idea is that the world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a unocal 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 disastrous effect on the region and president obama was elected on hopes that he would enter the endless wars. overseas which most americans are opposed to but he continues and arabs won the war and other oil rich nation libya 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 only checked by the people by the congress or by the courts for war we can go toward the drop of a coin we've reached the point now where the president the united states can kill people for state purposes any time he or she will fuels i mean since nine eleven america's war on terror has crossed many borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries to chase a handful of carious 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 tragedy one that has no end in sight i'm going to check our reporting from washington our kate. u.s. war on terror has backfired on muslims across the globe leading to a rise of islamophobia political scientist and former u.s.

national security adviser zbigniew brzezinski thinks that washington made a mistake in mixing politics with religion. the response should not generalize this is an islam a particular religious phenomenon that is a political issue in which our objective ought to be to isolate the terrorists from their political cultural national context and required avoiding stigmatizing the phenomenon as a generalized islamic phenomenon but view it as an aberration. against which we can mobilize most of the support of their epic from its i think we didn't do that wilson and large the theater of war from the get on the stand from iraq and as a consequence we have become embroiled in much larger regional political conflict not some sort of the religious crusade. a suicide bombing in afghanistan

has wounded more than seventy american soldiers and killed two civilians it's being seen as the taliban's way of marking a decade since nine eleven 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 that with the taliban still relentless conflicts estimated to have cost over ten thousand afghan civilians their lives as they're often caught in the crossfire as u.s. combat troops begin their gradual withdrawal from the country most locals don't even know why foreign forces came in the first place. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province that is 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 on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but. here.

initial a few more and tell us that they know where it is we don't know the scars because your former neighbor heard about the world more so than the. two young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say here no news here in. this ng i think you just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's only thing i can see it when you get your this picture saying it so i think there was a car if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are. about their reactions. so they want to go see it was kabul was clearly never going to come and it just shows you how isolated they are even in their own countries. don't you

know that america afghanistan come to this point and they get the airplane from here to the united states and you know how much. one of those nice to go from iraq to and here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and where they really had that picture you know it's good picture myself because what you're going to see at just looking at it in this context where you form if you're in the right. if you care that we're. going to make and saying we're going to help you to do so one being under distress how many buildings and they say we're going to help you where is the help. the way god was with this thing to do to our kids going into fighting and they do their own kids but i don't indeed and. 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 and nobody to help them so you know when you have when you can feed yourself or her house yourself are you to care about somebody you have six thousand miles away. so i can understand i just set it up i was about to finish it

but i never thought to ask those questions of 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 turns out not only with the villagers oblivious to nine percent with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military if you go over this so you can see that i have no idea what the syrians have never seen the faces before. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in elena's 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 and put from afghanistan fourteen no. well for full coverage it should say for full coverage of the ten year anniversary of the nine

charter plane carrying almost the entire model locomotive cage and all hockey team crashed shortly after takeoff going into a wall of flame after clipping a runway antenna forty three of the forty five on board perished to look i'm asleep and we heard the 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 oh 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 and then we went to the river and saw the plane with us in the wake of the tragedy of what we are putting ordered an immediate and thorough investigation as president medvedev led a country in mourning and visiting the crash site and pain 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 mementos left here at the stadium the loss of. what was

a huge blow to this community order to be 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 there's a way to give it a couple years ago because one just just want to give my condolences to the families and. it's weird. probably ceremonies to honor the players were held in minsk and brought a slumber of somber reflection from those who knew the players well. 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 don't want to only him at least by lighting this candle not only him but everybody who died but i would like to express my condolences to his family to his children and wife. saturday march of the end of the official three day mourning period as thousands were into the stadium to view fourteen coffins on display and say their final

goodbye to soon it was revealed that we have very dear friends look at it people who brought us joy and played for our country this is an irreplaceable loss for us all the people of irresponsible and the glory of a few. years level shun thomas or a t. . still to come this hour here in r.t. fury in the middle to find out why a modern car it took the israeli embassy by storm leading to the evacuation of its diplomats from the country. and the sense of national identity in the united kingdom is under threat with another nation possibly going its own way. this story still to come but first twenty seven people are reported to been killed by syrian security forces backed by troops in several towns across the country this comes as the arab league announced it's reached an agreement with president bashar al assad on long promised reforms the plan outlines proposals to bring an end to the bloodshed release prisoners and hold elections within three years u.s. and e.u.

have imposed sanctions on syria in a calling for the u.n. security council to condemn violence in the country the united nations says more than two thousand died in the uprising since mid march what authorities in damascus blamed on the groups for the unrest. meanwhile russia reserving both sides to start talking to avoid another conflict in moscow plans to send a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information on the areas hit by violence a decision was announced after members of the syrian opposition visited the russian capital question foreign help speaking on the sidelines of an international policy forum in the russian city of wasn't it said he's concerned about events in syria the situation is far from simplistic. the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things aren't just black and white and the anti-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 one sided condemnation of the government and president we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. 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 the country is now controlled by the national transitional council but have been putting up fierce resistance in bani walid hundred camels more strongholds leaders on the run and now on interpol's wanted list he's claimed in recent audion messages that he's still there in libya actually fighters have been given until saturday to surrender to the leadership in the streets across the country celebrations over the end of the old regime and been replaced by fear as artie's many financial reports. a

his sister was badly injured she's still in hospital in tunisia other hand doesn't want to show his face on camera and seized on a hidden 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 want our children to sign 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 but you do know. the raman says he's also want a change and a brighter future for his country but not a sway. people are dying on both sides of the cities destroyed or no one cares do they seriously think that it changed for the better don't mind 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 rattans not toys many shops schools and hospitals are closed while the city's symmetries growing bigger and bigger. shortly after tripoli fell into rebel hands the national transitional council it is new authority claimed it was moving here from benghazi but weeks have passed and there is still no sign of all being restored the city is functioning by itself and treading a fine line between freedom and. original r t tripoli libya. the egyptian government failed to tighten security and keep order in cairo where an angry mob stormed and sacked the israeli embassy on friday night

three people died and more than a thousand were injured in clashes after a demonstration demanding faster political reforms turned against the embassy egyptian police were slow to intervene but eventually managed to disperse the crowd and he is really sentiment rose sharply last month after israeli forces responding to a cross border militant attack mistakenly killed five egyptians israeli prime minister says his country will stick to its peace treaty with egypt despite the embassy is what led to its being flown home the car a british journalist ahmed abdul fatah says to have used on plenty to make enemies vegetation people. there is 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 their promise investigation and nothing has not been delivered yet have a sense there are spin huge huge them on a stray sions and a few days outside the israeli embassy the minor strain.
