i believe as of now is that damascus has agreed to open dialogue with the opposition to bring the violence to life. this is all sees it weekly review alone welcome to the program they were attacks which claimed the lives of thousands and brought two wars with an even more devastating death toll the united states is marking a decade since nine eleven terrorists crushed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york on the pentagon in washington a full plate 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 was striking u.s. soil in history and united a nation and its determination to hit back against those responsible but the american led invasion of afghanistan that followed has claimed thousands more lives in what's now the longest conflict in u.s.

history and as artie's get in there to shake our reports the killing hasn't stopped that. it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest terrorist attack in history either whether 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 is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursues its weapons in exports term while an unelected few repressed the iranian people's hopes for freedom. iraq continues to fantasize to 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 they used the moment in the 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 planning 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. he plans to be at 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 had monex to military the idea is that the but world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a unocal 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 effects 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 adds one more another oil rich nation libya and this time in the name of removing an evil dictator. some

worry syria could be next we have 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 court we've reached the point now where the president can kill people for state purposes any time he or she feels the need since nine eleven america's war on terror has squashed many 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. . at least two civilians have been killed and almost eighty u.s.

troops injured in a suicide bomb at an american military base in eastern afghanistan it's being seen as the taliban's way of marking a decade since nine eleven but in a statement the movement claimed it had no role in between tower attacks nearly ten years after the u.s. led coalition if they did afghanistan it doesn't seem any closer to winning the war there with a ton about still fighting relentlessly the conflicts estimated to have cost over ten thousand afghan civilian lives caught in the crossfire only nato strikes against militants but as u.s. troops begin their gradual withdrawal from the country most civilians don't even know why that country was ever our people and 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 have to. as 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 those who will go

to. war with us will. never see if can you show them a few more and can us do they know where it is we don't know if that's because because we were former we never heard about anything else about the world. cup and . the two young men clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say yeah no i didn't see it in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's only thing i can say when you get sure that's picture guys saying it so i think that was a call what 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 and what to do about their reactions. so that the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never going to kabul it just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country beat them on them without understand. how look i'm not going to let you go i don't think you

know you're going to america afghanistan come to this point and get the airplane from here to attack in the united states but you know how much fun i think you're going to it was nice to go from iraq to vent here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and where do you say you had that picture it was good picture mine yourself because what you're going to see after looking at it in this context while wearing the uniform of carrying a rifle. to me back. because i'm a consenting we're going to help you to decide one binding and industry ass how many funding and this is going to help you where is the help. work your way down with the missing to give it to our kids again and to 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. we had recently people losing their homes and nobody said a helpful so you know when you have when you can feed yourself the earth house yourself are you going to care about somebody six thousand miles away. so i can

understand it i just set it up over the top of this with that i never thought to ask those questions of anybody here so 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 but so were the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military you don't know that is for you to say 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 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 adam plates from afghanistan for. terrorist attacks it became synonymous with. the senseless slaughter of.

people stop the war. isn't over. ten years old. to. look back at nine eleven see. this week russia saw the tragic loss a one of its top hockey teams out of the plane crash on a very to their first game of the k h l season on wednesday and i lined up with all those they entire lokomotiv get us the other team playoff case stop went down just after takeoff from their home city on their way to milk their tragedy has engulfed the hockey world with pleasant stuff from several countries losing their lives while russia has been shocked at yet another plane disaster and gas that one hundred thousand attended a remembrance ceremony for the city's sporting heroes and at his sean thomas was that. waves of emotion poor through jaroslav as residents

realize the full weight of the tragedy that country would the lives of some of the city's brightest stars but ended up with the fans of this team for many years our whole family including a little child went to all their games crosses their upper billows 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. just after four in the afternoon on wednesday the charter plane carrying almost the entire jaroslava locomotive k h o hockey 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 in newark a mostly serious just we heard a 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 and then we went to the river and saw the plane with us in the wake of the tragedy put in ordered an immediate and thorough investigation as president medvedev led a country in mourning visiting the crash site and paying his respects. meanwhile fans of the three time championship winning jaroslava 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. was a huge blow to this community but international nature of this team it was a larger loss of for russia and of the rest of the world as well. my friends but on the plane because a couple years ago of course wonders just want to give my condolences to. all the. ceremonies to honor the players were held in minsk in bratislava with some

reflections from those who knew the players well. after to have all demitra told me he actually wants to quit hockey that 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 and i want to only him at least by lighting this candle but 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 mourning period as thousands poured into the stadium to view fourteen coffins on display and say their final goodbyes to deposit it we have buried our friends people who brought us joy and played for our country this is an irreplaceable loss for us the people of us level and the country. and you know it's level sean thomas r.t. . still to come this hour here in the middle east find out why and. of these really

a big storm leading to the evacuation of its diplomats from the country. i know for the seventeen years to the start of been there in grad located one of the deadliest and darkest chapters of world war two. 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 they plan also outlines proposals to release prisoners and hold elections within three years meanwhile the u.s. any you have opposed more sanctions on syria and are calling for the united nations security council to condemn the assad regime for the violent crackdown the un says over two thousand two hundred have been killed since the uprising began in march while the or forces in damascus blamed on groups for their own bret's. however

both sides to start talking to avoid another conflict moscow plans to send a fact finding mission to syria to get first hundred from asia on the areas hit by violence the decision was announced 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 the us level president medvedev said he is concerned about violence in syria but the situation is far from simplistic. the resolution which we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should be addressed to both sides things are just black and white there are going to be anti-government protesters in syria 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 which it was 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. boiled down to the one sided condemnation of the government and the senate 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 the by the head of the country's interim government has arrived in the capital tripoli for the first styluses it fell to rebel forces most of leave is now controlled by the national transitional council but gadhafi loyalists are still holding out in their remaining strongholds offering fifth resistance despite intense nato been balm and rebel fighters returning for three battles and bani walid saturday felt demoralized and outgunned and while one of his son saadi had crossed into neighboring the share to join other family members who fled they can or himself is now on interpol's most wanted list said in a recent order your message that his still in libya and won't leave and those are his maria for notion reports say the fighting does not tend soon might fall into are making. 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 forty second anniversary but we put our flag up and stand we want we are so happy without it it seems in the last weeks rebel fighters have fired more people than saddam here there were shot during this small town tripoli earlier in august. be a female very very forward. this would be. the top. he told me all the more lovely all the people look at me no you see loved him he was right up with them is that we don't know what a good dog and what then all right what they are killing but away from jubilant crowds we meet those who are not so pleased. mom lives in tripoli district historically pro khadafi when 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 in ceased when i had no 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 done we are afraid and we always wait for something bad when gadhafi was here at least we didn't have to sleep a wink what we do know. of the man says he also want to change and a brighter future for his country but not based way. and people are dying on both sides of the cities destroyed and no one cares do they seriously think that they changed it for the better don't lie to 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 rise in stink of garbage and decomposing bodies youngsters roam the streets barely old enough to understand that what they carry are weapons not toys many shops schools and hospitals are closed while the cities symmetries are growing bigger and bigger. shortly after tripoli falling to rebel hands the national transitional council libya's new authority claimed it was moving here from benghazi two weeks have passed and there is still no sign of order being restored the city is functioning by itself and treading a fine line between freedom and anneke. original. tripoli libya. the egyptian government has vowed to tighten security and keep order in cairo after angry protesters stormed the israeli embassy on friday night three people died while over a thousand were injured after
