america marks a decade since the tragedy of nine eleven which united a nation but brought about two of the bloodiest walls of the twenty first century. and afghanistan which was invaded by the us shortly after the atrocity of the relentless taliban staged another deadly suicide bombing and it's all to discover as most afghan civilians don't even know why their country was ever occupied by foreign troops. russia in the sports world say goodbye to the country's top national ice hockey team wiped out in a plane crash that killed forty three. a moscow calls on the international community not to take sides in syria's internal violence as president it says negotiation is the only way to peace.
5:01 pm
we'll look back at the past seven days top stories and the latest developments this is the weekly on t.v. it was a tragedy that claimed the lives of thousands in an instant and later brought to wars with an even more devastating death toll the united states is marking a decade since the nine eleven attacks terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center new york and the pentagon in washington a fourth plane came down in the state of pennsylvania remember it's a movie being held at ground zero in new york and all across america it was the worst strike on u.s. soil in history and united nation in its determination to seek out the perpetrators and prevent more deaths but the american at invasion of afghanistan that followed nine eleven has claimed thousands more lives in what's now the longest conflict in
5:02 pm
u.s. history as artie's going to check on reports the killing hasn't stopped their lives that. it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest terrorist attack in history or whether she would be enemy 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 its citizens. iran aggressively pursues these weapons in exports terror but if you repress the iranian people's hope for freedom. iraq continues to try to show still a view 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
5:03 pm
with all kinds of 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 could divert from afghanistan a 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 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 talk or oil iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's correct zone 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
5:04 pm
blame america's self assigned rule as the world's policeman the driving idea behind it is that it had to monex debility the idea is that the world is going to be a 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 pretext as terrorism was no longer the only reason for landing on washington's enemy list the us has 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 effects 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 and other oil rich nation lead yet and this time in the name of removing an evil dictator. some worry
5:05 pm
syria could be next we have 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 record we've reached the point now where the president the united states can kill people for state purposes if he or she will fuels i mean since nine eleven america's war on terror has cost many orders from pakistan to yemen and other countries to 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 tragedy one that has no end in sight i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. the u.s. war on terror has backfired on muslims across the globe leading to
5:06 pm
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. 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. required avoiding stigmatizing the phenomenon as a generalized islamic phenomenon but view it as an aberration. against which we can model is also the support of their epic you have permits i think we didn't do that we also enlarged the theater of war from the get understand from iraq as a consequence we have become embroiled in much larger regional political
5:07 pm
conflict i'm not some sort of the religious were say. a suicide bombing in afghanistan is 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 there with the taliban still relentless conflicts estimated to cost over ten thousand afghan civilians their lives as they're often caught in the crossfire and as u.s. combat troops begin a 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 on the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces what 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
5:08 pm
a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who are going to go with us here. and you show them a few more and can us do they know where it is even. we don't know so that's because because you're a former neighbor heard about that if you have a brother we're a big guy more talking. to young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say yeah no you see. this ng i just can see the smoke on the buildings and that's it that's one thing i can say when you guys show this picture the guys saying it so i think that was a call what if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months some night this is pretty much the stone ages where we are and what other reactions i thought fascinating so that what the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never been to college and he just shows you how isolated area in their own country will be come on the want to. do you know you are going to get out
5:09 pm
you're going to send come to this going to get the airplane from here to the united states and you know how much power they're. going to impose nice to go from iraq to that here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and where do we actually have half if you know it's good picture remind yourself of this what if you're going to see actions looking at it in this context wearing a uniform if you're in the right if it's if you back that more. americans say we're going to help you to discern one building and in distress how many funding and this is going to help you where is the help put up a camera if you wake up with the missing to give it to our kids going into book fighting and they do it to their own kids in a paper that 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 whose their homes and nobody should help them so you know when you have when you can't feed yourself or her house yourself are you care about somebody you have six thousand miles away
5:10 pm
. so i can understand i just filled it up out of that office with that i never thought to pass those questions to. anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a can. we were for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only with the villagers oblivious to nine eleven the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military to go that is for you to. see if you ever see these pictures before. 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 and with american troops that start withdrawing this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans never having really understood why they came in the first place adam puts from afghanistan for. more on the
5:11 pm
legacy of the nine eleven terror attacks let's cross live to the u.s. and talk to historian professor stanley kutler thank you very much indeed professor for being with us here on our team now you said in a recent article i've got it here in front of me off the huffington post that the tragic events ten years ago have nothing to do with the wars in afghanistan and iraq could you explain what you mean by that. not quite not quite. i did say that it was understandable that one of ours attacked it will retaliate and it was clear to us and for terms that while the evidence that was how much of that the taliban had been harboring al qaeda. so it is understandable still argue whether it was wise to go into afghanistan and rid a country of the taliban and try to it's straw and. take its place but you
5:12 pm
know we did get rid of the towel bet in a couple of months and now ten years later we're still there are that's what i question if iraq there is no correlation. between nine eleven and going to war with iraq and war with iraq was the cause of a certain element powerful american foreign. policy. president of the defense secretary the vice president or urged that war oh oh oh it is our current president who called it a dumb war but he of course has continued if not why the war in afghanistan. and there is something to be learned from history. we have before us the example of your country in afghanistan we have before us the example with afghanistan and if we could go back a little further in time we can always turn and look at the outset of the great and
5:13 pm
his and a bottle in afghanistan and i just saw it again and therefore what something like i have a six thousand two hundred americans have already died fighting in iraq and afghanistan would you say they died in vain or perhaps could we see this as a pause to potential come up to see in those countries in the future well. it is kind of tricky turban a. way that's i mean i i think that the. casualties after the initial invasion of afghanistan. could have been avoided you know what we have here. russia is a superpower the united states a super power what superpowers have. to do with it stay in a is to manage a little war with limited object instead of the populace the
5:14 pm
nation is. turned into a full scale war were ad people do not or cannot or will not understand the idea of limited object yes you know we have to have betrayed now what exactly korea's i don't know but you know i don't have to talk about examples or so. great well we have to look at our own experience of. four years we had our government tell against some of domino theory that if we didn't stop the communists . the d.m.z. and vietnam there were all were to look cool pleads across the pacific to y. e and who knows we poor before long they'd be on the shores of california well that proved to be absolute nonsense or absolute can i just quickly ask you then we have
5:15 pm
got a great deal of time it is. now to talk about libya is it not because i have lessons been from the likes of afghanistan and iraq where some would say there's been a nato victory there where the goals of regime change have been achieved with the help of foreign intervention but will we actually see insists that it's either in libya or will we see a similar situation to what we're seeing now in iraq in afghanistan. we responded in a limited way to libya split it to. air strikes in this bad way this resulted in the toppling it appears the gadhafi regime. should we go be outmatched break a cage. well those experiments are don't work very well we have a new brilliant success with such legs and more than we are to day and age of resources and it's a question of whether the united states could continue with such an action is
5:16 pm
really interesting a day your perspective on this thank you very much indeed sadly that's all we've got time for historian professor stanley kutler joining us live there in the u.s. really good to talk to you thank you thank you. for terrorist attacks in the case of. the senseless slaughter of innocent people stopped for. the vision of an evening. news on t.v. . to. look back at nine eleven see. this week russia's sporting world was rocked to its core when one of its best hockey teams was all but wiped out in a blink of an eye they died on wednesday when look what if you have a plane crashed on takeoff on saturday thousands gathered at the team stadium to say final goodbyes to the victims and r.t. sean thomas witnessed the city and morning. and waves of emotion poured through
5:17 pm
jaroslav all as residents realize the full weight of the tragedy that country or the lines of some of the city's brightest stars but in europe we've been fans of this team for many years our whole family including a little child that went to all their games for us it's a reparable loss it's like losing a family member. 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. 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 antenna forty three of the forty five on board perished to newark a mostly system 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 it's falling down to the side but then came the

5:21 pm
said he's concerned about syria but the situation is far from simplistic. when you can probably the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things are just black and white you know 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 only if they don't boil down to the 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 council transitional.
