but all of a sudden, when people like laura bush, when colin powell are all talking about how the warror is also a war to liberate women in human rights and so forth, you start to see tremendous beauty coverage. 900 something stories and a matter of a few months. unfortunately, feminist organizations also signed on to the war on terror and colleagues of mine in winter engender studies -- women and gender studies also noticed how people gave that consent to what was going to be 20 years of a horrible situation for all people in afghanistan but also for women. we know women were not liberated in afghanistan. and the resources you mentioned earlier in the program, amy, the trillions spent, 90% of that went to militarism and 10 million on infrastructure and nationbuilding. sure, something's approved such as education and health care, city centers, but for the vast majority of people, 70% of afghans live in the countryside and they were thrown from the frying can into the fire because the u.s. allies, the people the u.s. trained back in the 1980's to fight the soviet union, those are the p

i know your experience with former first lady laura bush. women of afghanistan and co-education and the american university in kabul and after you left the white house continuing that, of course, at the state department and then after the administration, she and you were so concerned about the women of afghanistan. how has it affected you. you know these people, some of them stranded who did not get out. it's just heartbreaking. i feel that we should have kept a supportive presence in the country to help -- we've made so many gains over the last 20 years. life and death gains. women's life expectancies had increased greatly. the maternal murderal iterate has gone down. women have gone to school and we've had 20 years of being educated and they've been able to work and they've been able to vote. so it's heartbreaking to watch all of that at risk. i still serve on the u.n. -- the u.s. afghan women's counsel which was a group put together by presidents bush and karzai to unite the women of america and of afghanistan to help us help each other a

congresswoman from california jane harman, and anita mcbride, former chief of staff to then first lady laura bush to you both for joining us. i want to ask you both this question. first to you, how are you feeling this morning, how are you feeling now, exactly 20 years after the attack? >> feeling sad. your coverage especially right now of the shanksville piece which directly effected the fact that the capitol wasn't hit, it was headed toward it that morning, is sobering. i am thinking about future for my kids and grandkids. i'm hoping we learned some lessons, i think we have. i think we made the country safer in large terms. but we're still vulnerable from within, something that george w. bush just said and in some ways tribalism that we were very inefficient and ineffective confronting in afghanistan has hit america, too. we are all fighting each other. that was not present on 9/11. >> anita, let me remind viewers you were there at the white house when the terror attack happened. tell us about that day, what it was like and what you're going through today. >> yeah. like jane, i'm feeling very s

accompanying him today is first lady laura bush who occupies a special place in the hearts and familiesresident of the united states, george w. bush. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you all. thank you very much. laura and i are honored to be with you. madame vice president, vice president cheney, governor wolff, secretary holland and distinguished guests, 20 years ago we all found in different ways in different places but all at the same moment that our lives would be changed forever. the world was loud with carnage and sirens. and then quiet with missing voices that would never be heard again. these lives remain precious to our country and infinitely precious to many of you. today we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women you have loved so long and so well. for those too young to recall that clear september day, it is hard to describe the mix of feelings we experienced. there was horror at the scale of destruction and awe at the bravery and kindness that rose to meet it. there was shock at the audacity of evil and gratitude for the heroism and decency

laura foster reports. ijust found it in the bush!across litter, and each picker they're using is made from used hospital protective equipment. you can pick up a mask with these, that are made out of masks, and ijust think it's really cool. instead of chucking it away, they're something really useful. i don't understand why it would just be children rather than grown—ups. and grown—ups have more free time as well. the arrival of covid last year means the nhs has been using more plastic. so, pre—covid, we were using about 300 masks a day, just for theatres mostly, and then covid struck and that increased to 10,000 a day. this machine is being tipped as the answer. it melts masks and tray wraps, and can reach temperatures of over 300 degrees celsius. obviously, we need to remove the ear straps and the wire that sits over your nose. basically, it'sjust like a giant oven. you know, it melts it all down, and that makes one of the big blocks, which then gets taken away, and ground down into plastic granules and repurposed. 45 masks are need
