business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. in the moon. the fog doesn't seem like 20 years ago. it was just never ending funeral in new york for a while. through decade, jones, in the worst terror attack in modern history, the world remembers the times in the city died in $91123.00. we talked to witnesses who were there that day. also, we continued or in depth investigation into the impact, the american war on terrorism followed and speak to former guantanamo detainees on the horrors defect. they had a found a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife being tortured. they

waved pictures of my children in front of me and often where do you think they are now? what do you think happened to me took your way. and what does the future hold for afghan is done with the taliban back in power. after 20 years of conflict, afghans give us several weeks on the us invasion. they bombed our cities. they killed civilians, innocent children, many people were killed. nothing good came out to the american invasion. the americans came to ghana stand because they wanted to exploit our resources for people like us became their slaves. and when they left they took everything with ah, hello, well, can we just go mid day here? moscow? you watching international now today marks the 20th anniversary of worst terror attacks in modern history. they claim the lives of almost 3000 people when west

plains were hijacked and flown into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york. another aircraft has flown into the pentagon, while one more crashed into a field in pennsylvania. the memorial service in shanghai fail is just one, have many being held across the u. s. today, relatives and friends of those on united airlines flight $93.00, which crashed after 4 i'll call you to terrorists were overpowered, attended a ceremony. there. i'm place candles under the names of the 40, craig and civilians at the $911.00 memorial. former president george bush will lead a service there later today, while president joe biden will, will join formerly to bill clinton. i'm barack obama for a ceremony in new york. what i witnesses to that herrera, just attack, recollect that day with a shiver. when our t employee grenades into the streets of new york with its video camera after the 1st plane have for all these years, he hasn't been able to find the sense, watch that footage until the day of our interview.

the i knew something was terribly wrong and i immediately wanted to get out there. and for some reason i, i wanted to grab my camera, put on my skates, and i by the time i got my skates on, that's one of the towers had fallen already. and i was just so unbelievable. and so i, i ran outside and they were already crowds of people outside gathering. i just felt i needed to, i wanted to document that i wanted to to be able to, to see it, you know, and, and it's funny that because i did shoot some video and i couldn't look at it later . i, i never looked at it. i put in a box and i just put it away. i read.

the 1st thing i remember was a commercial airliner, had flown overhead, and everybody just screamed and thought it was coming down also. and everybody sort of ran for cover. and then you could see people with ash on them and they were just walking with just the last 4 eyes and i was just very unbelievable. and then you saw the plume of smoke that was once like the towers and you looked at that and you just couldn't believe that that that skyline was gone. and i think everybody was just and this belief at that time i remember the smell that came over the, the city. it was this horrible smell that smell like, i mean i don't, i can only describe it as metal and flesh and it was so strong that you can

taste it in your mouth. and we were all wondering if we were going to get sick from this. the you know, doesn't seem like 20 years ago. all of a sudden and yeah, just you think you lose these emotions and, and they just seem always sit there somewhere and they and they come up. you know, i think about it. i think about my friends who have off their family, their friends. i know a lot of people that have lost loved ones and it was just a constant funeral. basically. what's the name after name after name of people who died. and we saw their life stories on tv, and it was just never ending funeral in new york for a while. the

media was constantly bardeen us days later with a message that we should live our lives. like normal to show that we beat this. but i was angry wait power, excuse me. i was angry because of people saying were in big white houses for a lot of security. and they were saying, till go, we have our lives and we had to walk around and we were afraid to go in public places like times square. we just never knew what was going to happen at that point . and i remember, you know, thinking i'm going to bring my son into the world. you know,

what kind of world is this going to be? and, and that scared me. while the 911 tragedy led to the american war on terror and the invasion of afghanistan and with us troops now out of the country, our t will scrutinize the risk impact that campaign has had on the lives of civilians and soldiers alike. in the special project called on heard voices, we tell the stories of those directly affected by the long running battle. the will use all tools at our disposal. they killed our children to united states was bringing people to watch the site. it was a pointless exercise. well 53 year old was i'm back here. lives in britain, works for prisoner rights organization and doesn't look like somebody who's lived the experience of america's worst prison practices, but he knows about them all too. well. i had to stop telling myself that i'm the

father, that i my son, i'm a husband that i'm a human being. i thought to myself what i had been told. and i was in that with my number 558 was my number and going to the in the room in may 2002. i was interrogated by the c i and the f b i. and they threatened, if i did not corporate to send me either to egypt, syria, to be tortured with us or you were the enemy. there is no in between. and that doctrine still stand. ah, i i

think it's quite clear to me that united states respond to the terrible acts of, of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. if a military operation why they picked from me, it wasn't just me. they picked on everyone who knows if anybody prepared to hand you over to complete the course, you know, i live the pakistani the enemy overwrite, and i'm my terrorist and i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the mountains without any legal principle. i was held for a year in 2002, 2003, and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. these terrorists play by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get me dirty and nasty in order to take them. i will use our tools at our disposal.

the boys are too bad. apples, isolated incidents one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice to lead this place, i pity my what me and i did, states was doing in afghanistan, they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans bordering africa. and abusing them outside of the rule of law and then allowing some of them to go back home and they would go home and tell people what the americans didn't. by the time i dr. guantanamo i was begging to go to one tunnel because what i've seen and witness and background was so destructive to this day i have, i can't sleep. oh i. ready several of

us, sensible internal, including several taliban members who now heads of various departments from the act and government. what torture. we were stripped, we were beaten, was spat upon. we were humiliated photographs. this was taken during this period of time, they had a sound, a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife's being tortured. they waved with pictures of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are now? would you think happened to them the night and took your way? and of course, what they wanted me to do was cosign a confession that i was a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say, stand that i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prison. ah, ah, i me,

ah, so this look and handmade calendar that i made when i was in one tunnel. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days tended to weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realized that it was just futile. when i received such letters from my children who are very young at the time, it's actually made it worse to look at the calendar and start the count down the days my children growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the heart. and they would come sporadically, they had to be vetted uncensored by the us censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught official life and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in a numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of

being a father. ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith, my belief in god my reading, the koran and again inexpensively becoming friends with several of the american soldiers who would bring me little snippets of inclination sometime next week in a chocolate. sometime maybe we can a dvd player and show me a film. did lots of humanity that i have never forgotten to this. and i think i left go on time to move. not hating america because of those soldiers. me. messages directly from some america soldiers who say that this has be a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals sold not spoken to told me that they

cannot sleep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war, not just on the individuals, but on the nation as a whole of whom the soldiers are representative. me has gone to the shop and unity types destroyed. the united states produced a senate to report on torture, but not a single person was bought for charges for these crimes. recently i gave evidence the international criminal court for their investigations of abuses by americans, enough gunnison, they will investigate to the united states army and the caliber. the only ones who responded by threatening the international criminal court was the united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the national court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere that want to

investigate us. i think the united states of america needs to step back if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's got in the position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures to russia towards china to it's the wrong to it's pakistan to within an easier would be like states and britain in particular. i think that feeling very upset because this is a defeat that's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within negotiations that we began in doha, that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the asking people, it's no good. got especially with the britain or america you've really got to find a way for throughout the day we will be hearing more from those whose lives were forever changed by america is longest for that's in our

special coverage, unheard voices. now as we've said, america's war on terror began in afghanistan with the goal of changing the world for the better. but it ended in chaos with the taliban seizing control and the u. s . withdrawal being blamed for the havoc that followed. our senior correspondent takes us through now the whole mission. from the day it started and 2001 it began with, with largest and pump invade of dust on to fight for freedom to fight terrorism and make the world a better place. 19 years, 10 months and $25.00 days on. this is america's legacy. they're stronger than sabotaged equipment. a country bought a ruined and still in control of the talbot. that is the ultimate tragedy of the afghan war at was entirely and violently pointless. years and years

of an obliging little questioning media. fooled billions into believing that there was progress that america could win to victory over the taliban. to taliban fled to the end of the taliban. taliban leadership on the run. and now the question is, how do you handle that success? the the, it wasn't supposed to be this way. the taliban wasn't supposed to sweep the country in me a weeks. the pentagon spent a decade preparing to leave of gather thought. and even though they weren't ready for this, together with our allies, we will complete our mission there. by the end of this year, i announced a timeline for drawing down our forces. we are working to finally end america as longest war, and it's time to end for evermore. the

america's proudest movement of the afghan war was supposed to be a humiliating evacuation under the guns of the taliban. but it was there is absolutely nothing else to celebrate. the united states ended 20 years of war in afghanistan. the longest war in american history. we completed one of the biggest air left in history with more than 120000 people evacuated to safety. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history. the only the united states had the capacity in the will believe you to do it and we did it today. where

was the afghan army, where it was the width and backed government? where did all the money go? the united states sank more than a $100000000000.00 in the rebuilding of gather stock for reference adjusted for inflation. that is more that the united states sped on the marshall plan to rebuild europe after world war 2. and the tragedy of it is that for a civilian the side from all the american weapons and the taliban pads, there is almost no evidence that any of that money ever passed through here from broken roads that lead to nowhere to abandon hospitals from twisted contractors and corrupt leaders, again, this dawn can arguably be called the largest money law during operation in human history, the united states is also committed to playing a leading role in the reconstruction of afghanistan. a 2021 special inspector

general for afghanistan reconstruction report found that the united states has spent nearly $7800000000.00 on capital assets in afghanistan, including buildings, transmission lines, and substations roads and bridges, motor vehicles, and aircraft. of that total, nearly 31 percent 2400000000 dollars was spent on assets that were not being used as intended, remained unused, or had been abandoned or destroyed in 2008. the u. s. department of defense spent $549000000.00 to provide the african air force with g to $22.00 military transport planes. a variation of an aircraft that the u. s. air force itself had retired almost 30 years earlier. because replacement parts were hard to find to the same conclusion. and the g $222.00 planes, it had delivered to afghan a stand 6 years earlier, were unceremoniously sold for only $40257.00 as scrap

metal. but taliban now controlled more of the country than it did before. the us invaded its new government the field with what dynamo, bay, inmates, and terrorists, medina, dean, who even have american bounties on their heads. what washington achieved the absolute opposite of what it intended? our war on terror begins without canada, but it does not in there. it will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found. stopped and defeated. every fraud, the mission of god, this dawn failed the taliban. he's back in power icon in africa, in asia, and in the mid least now more powerful than it ever was before. things even worse

for the isis, relentless, ruthless, and remorseless. we must rid the world of terror, sor children, and grandchildren can grow up in freedom. we are not nation building again. we are killing terrorists. the key bombing at capital airport during the evacuation at bitter mice, the afghan war, a senseless act, devoid of reason, which needlessly cut short so many lives. we will not forgive.

we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay. we've heard the same promise before 20 years ago when america was united, and when it thought that it could change the world when it thought it was invincible. and when the people believed a president's promise more, i'd gazda if archie, couple of get this done with the taliban in almost full control of the country. we have spoken to people in the capital lack a bull undiscovered high the past 20 years of american occupation have taken their tell when i was at school, i said my targets in life, but unfortunately now it looks like, oh my dreams have vanished. i can achieve those goals and we're worried about our studies and the prospect of finding work. many of my classmates have left of dennis time. when mr. malott, i still hope to regain some kind of normal live ago,

but looks difficult. i was almost optimistic before. now with a new system, i'm confused, we're facing many difficulties. the body can all make situation, unemployment. we've lost our future. it's in the hands of gods, whether this new government will deliver in 34 provinces of afghanistan, there was peace. 20 years ago, it was a war by the u. s. economic gain. we have won our freedom by sacrificing the blood of many people, the country's back contract. now. i'm going to stop was progressing 20 years ago and it will advance again now. the war happened because the americans invaded our land to serve their own interests. they will not have to reconstruct or develop past chemist on look how they destroyed or across the ruined airport. and this shows that they were not here to help us. when the americans were here, they bombed our cities. they killed civilians, innocent children, many people were killed. nothing good came out to the american invasion. the americans came to ganeth stand because they wanted to exploit our resources. they

brought their allies with them. poor people like us became their slaves and when they left they took everything with them. look what they did to our airport in the last 20 years, a lot of money has flowed into afghanistan, but not to all people. members of the lead class built up their properties and businesses. ordinary people got nothing. though as we heard there, that has been a great human cost to the war on terror, but there's also been a joy again to financial price to pay to have to look at that in more detail. ah, [000:00:00;00]

i tell it now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of countries in the world. me and i just k, still exist in our growing and afghan stand and eventually they acquire. these went me ah, the majority of every member behind me is a veteran. never in my lifetime. would i ever believe america would have it administration knowingly make a decision to leave americans behind? whereas just 2 weeks ago,

the president promised this nation that he would not leave until every single american was out. we now have americans stuck in afghan at the taliban in charge with more more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is the the monetary and catastrophe looms enough canister. almost half of the population need humanitarian assistance. one and 3 don't know where the next meal will come from. now, more than ever, africa, children, women and men need the support and solidarity of the international community. it was 19 to national and the 20th anniversary. the $911.00 terror attacks will be

back with more analysis and also the coverage of events and just about finished telling me i i will

i the thing in the koran attributed to the prophet mohammed, the dreams, the threefold. sometimes they represent divine guidance, sometimes sorrow from the devil, and sometimes there about the conflict of dated living and past events. this applies also to women's rights in afghanistan, today, encouraged in the past to live out their dreams of being fully fledged human beings, african women. and now being told that this amount to satanic possession when they turn to and on, what can they count in this time of existential struggle, ah ah, the pacific leg, around the world, expedition by 1000 miles round the

clock in the dead calm miss wilson in every country close by it was like the crew, gavin's food and water and food to chat for a show. the little thing is that everybody's love or no more. no food, no water that only give them up. so somebody stuck in the cove. it you're living like the fema home, but in the 21st century me boom bus,

the one business show you can't afford to mit brent before and i'm ready to weapons in washington coming up the 1st high level. 8 talk and several months between china
