with her tell me touch your room the original a good gold how would international house flood to change every green lol he told in talk of. the. american dollar the decade the tragedy of nine eleven we should i did a nation about brought about still the bloodiest war the fight of us century. in afghanistan which was invaded by the crew as shortly after the tragedy they were not as tough on a patient of a deadly suicide bombing as all status accomplished mossad care for them and don't even know why their country was at all compiled by foreign troops in. russia and the sports world say goodbye to the country's top national hotlines hockey team by the town of bangkok that helpful to three people. and also called on the international community not to take five in the ribs internal politics as president better said we can say is the only way.

to says we can have a view hello and welcome to the program. there were times which claimed the lives of father and then later brought to wars that were an even more dr death toll the united states is marking a decade since nine eleven terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york and the pentagon in washington 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 it was the worst try on u.s. soil in history and united a nation and its determination to hate against those responsible but the american led invasion of afghanistan that followed have played thousands more lies in what's now the longest conflict throughout history and as r.t. as their education report the killing hasn't stopped there. it started as

a war on terror spawned the deadliest here is the track in history you know 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 while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursues these weapons and actually marched her while an unelected few repressed the iranian people slope for freedom. iraqi entities the charges are 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 with al qaida grounds which proved to be false hundreds of thousands of

iraqi civilians have died since the invasion they used the moment in 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 a 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 a rx on all report. 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 around others blame america's self assigned rule as the world's policeman the driving idea behind

it is that it had to monex tillett the idea is that the but world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a universal 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 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 in fact 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 yet 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 beyond any check by the people 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 president the united states can kill people for state purpose and any time he or she will feels i mean since nine eleven america's war on terror has crossed the borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries the chase 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 our reporting from washington r.t. . and historian and professor stanley conflict says that many of the deaths in afghanistan which fall to be invasion could have been avoided still argue whether

it was wise to go to afghanistan to rid the country of the taliban and tried its law and. take its ways but you know we did get rid of the towel battered a couple of thoughts and now ten years later we're still there that's what i question the. nine years as he's after beijing to get a stamp. could have been avoided. at least two civilians have been killed and almost eighty u.s. troops injured in a suicide bomb that's an american military base in eastern afghanistan that's being seen as the taliban's way of knocking a decade since nine eleven but in a statement the movement claimed it had no role in the twin tower tox nearly ten years after the u.s. led coalition baited afghanistan it doesn't seem any closer to winning the war but the taliban still fighting relentlessly the copyright act may have to have cost over telling wasn't on the civilian lives caught in the crossfire or nato strikes

against militants but as u.s. troops begin their grandchild withdraw from the country most are been civilians don't even know why their country was ever occupied by american forces in the first place. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province that is borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces. would afghans in this war torn province think about nine eleven and its consequences. while in patrol with the marines like a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but they're still going to look. here. and kill us do they know where it is even if we don't know some of it's guys because we're a former neighborhood about the world more so than. two young men including nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more

to say you know here you see in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's it that's when you think you can see it when you go to show this picture that goes saying it so i think there was a car if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for six months this is premised on ages where we are more worried about their reactions fascinating so they want to go see it was. clearly never been a card that just shows you how isolated they're even their own countries. come on what i want to. do you know you don't think you know you've. got to them come to this point and they get the airplane from here to the united states and you know how that might. go to those nice to go from iraq to here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here in d.c. at that picture you know it's good picture remind yourself of his letters and see after looking at it in this context where you for material right. to say that you

care that we're. saying we're going to help you good to say one thing and it just how many buildings and this is going to help you where is the help. you wake up with this thing to do to our kids are going to go fighting and they go to 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 that when you have when you can't feed yourself or earth house yourself are you to care about somebody you have six thousand miles away just so i can understand i just filled it up out of the gulf that you had 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 it turns out not only with the villages oblivious to nine eleven to pursue the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military to go there with this for you to say that i have no idea what the syrians

have never seen the faces of all. the 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 at inputs from afghanistan fourteen. terrorist attack that became synonymous. slaughter. still. isn't coveting. it seems. to. look back at nine eleven see. going on now this week russia saw the tragic loss of one of its top

hockey teams after their plane crashed on rick to their first game of the trial season on wednesday and i would always be entire lokomotiv the rest of the team classic a start went down just after takeoff from their home city on their way to minsk they tragically hasn't gone to the hockey world with a pleasant star from several countries losing their lives while russia has been shocked at yet another plane disaster and yes a hundred thousand attended a remembrance ceremony for the city's sporting heroes and also he's shown thomas last that. the waves of emotion poured through jaroslav as residents realize the full weight of the tragedy the country or the lives of some of the city's brightest stars but with the fans of this team for many years our whole family including a little child went to all the games for instance irreparable loss but 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. at just after four in the afternoon on wednesday the charter plane carrying almost the entire slidell locomotive kaito hockey team crashed shortly after takeoff bursting into a wall of flame after clipping a runway antenna forty three of the forty five on board perished your chemistry sister said we heard the plane takeoff so we told our granddaughter look there is 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 then we went to the river and saw the plane with us in the wake of the tragedy vladimir putin ordered an immediate and thorough investigation as president medvedev a country in mourning visiting the crash site and paying his respects. meanwhile fans of the three time championship winning your us love

a locomotive team with 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 but due to the international nature of this team it was a larger loss of her russia and of the rest of the world as well. my friends but on the play of them because a. couple years ago of course one just just want to give my condolences to the families of the. ceremonies to honor the players were held in minsk in bratislava with some reflections from those who knew the players well. of the puzzle demitra told me he actually wants to quit hockey but he wants to play a little bit more and then leave and spend time with his family so this last conversation came back and i hate when i heard about the crash i want to only him at least by lighting this candle and not only him but everybody who died i would

like to express my condolences to his family to his children and wife. saturday marked the end of an official three day morning. period as thousands poured into the stadium to view fourteen caffein is on display and say their final goodbyes we should it was originally we have buried our friends the people who brought us joy and played for our country this is an irreplaceable loss for us all good people of us level and the whole country. and us and i will shun thomas archly. and later this hour these this united kingdom party looks into the drive through independence of wales followed scotland by faking to break from london all that later. twelve people have been killed over the weekend and yet more violence in syria that's according to opposition supporters this comes as the arab league announced it's reached an agreement with president bashar al assad to open dialogue with the opposition and bring the violence to a close

a plan also outlines proposals to release prisoners and hold elections within three years while he was an e.u. pose for more sanctions on syria and are calling for the united nations security council to condemn the assad regime for its violent crime down. to two thousand two hundred have been killed since the uprising began in march while the authorities in damascus blamed armed groups for the rest. russia however is urging both sides to start talking to avoid another media style conflict moscow plans to send a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information on the areas hit by violence the station was aroused after members of the syrian opposition visited the russian capital requesting international help speaking on the sidelines of an international policy forum in the russian city of club president maybe that is that sound about it both in syria but the situation is far from someplace. with. the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should be addressed to both sides things are

just black and white. voters 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 all all conflicting parties to come to do certain table saw. talks and stop the bloodshed. earned and lead where 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 to believe is now controlled by the national transitional council but conductor loyalists are still holding out in their remaining strongholds offering stiff resistance despite intense nato bombardment rebel fighters returning from street battles in bani walid that they felt demoralized and outgunned here while one of his sons our society has crossed into neighboring the
