do you think that i is true, tom hamilton? not entirely. every labour — is true, tom hamilton?t starts off with a row about labour rules. that is pretty normal in two years ago there was a fight about whether we should scrap the position of deputy leader or not. these things happen. it dominated because it always does and what is important now, from rachel reeves speech onwards on monday, is setting out policies. it is a dirty secret in the labour party in left nor the right want to talk about is there is a lot of consensus and rachel reeves set out a lot of things thatjohn mcdonnell could have said. not everything but a lot of things. a lot of spending on green infrastructure, a lot of tax measures that have consensus across the labour party for better or worse, and the basis of the platform has a lot of internal consensus, if they want to, and the question is whether people who are critical of keir starmer for other reasons want to get behind the policy platform they don't have a lot of ideological opposition to our whether they want to keep on having a fight about it. what d

a lot of the credit is actually due to tom kaine and lee hamilton because they decided at the outsetration, no separate staff, no partisan votes, for example, and they modelled that behavior for us, and we also vowed to each other that we would only appear in public in pairs and we would do it in the same way. so that was the process. we also worked really hard to get to a bipartisan statement of what occurred and we did that together on each and every report. >> governor kean, what was the lessons learned, sill nals missed and things that could have been done to prevent it? >> i guess the most obvious one was the lack of coordination of our intelligence agencies, the fact that they didn't talk to each other and the fact they didn't talk to each other, and we might not have had 9/11. it was that serious a reach of national security and now through our recommendations and report they are forced to work together with each other and that's a good thing. >>. >> jamie, is that because there was a warning on the 10th that an airplane might be used for an attack? their lots of pieces of evi

the bipartisan policy center's efforts here really began over a decade ago when tom kane and lee hamilton, the chairs of the 9/11 commission came to bpc and led a series of discussion groups and recommendations and papers trying to advance the core findings of the 9/11 commission . and i am reminded by today's events that much of our work focused on the fact that there were really two types of recommendations in that commission report. the first were really focused on locating identifying and disrupting terrorist networks and people who wished us ill and by all accounts we've done a pretty remarkable job of that. i think most people in the days and you know months following 9/11 felt like it was almost a certainty that there would be more massive attacks and you know i think we deserve a tremendous amount of credit, the intelligence community deserves a tremendous amount of credit, for protecting the homeland. but the second category of recommendations was focused on trying to understand identify and address the core forces of radicalization that are motivating the hatred and the violence

hamilton." i am speaking with ann cterry. she is the voice of justice. she lost her husband tom in the world trade center.how every 9/11 must weigh on you and your children. your youngest was just four days old, is that right, when the attacks happened? >> yes, that is correct, justin was four days old. i would say this anniversary is more painful because the realization that 20 years have gone by since, you know, tom was here with us. the children were young back then and now they're young adults. he's just missed out on so much and we've missed having him at all of our life events whether they've been celebrations or difficult times. it's just been hard without him. >> what do you remember the most about that last call you had with your husband? >> oh, the fear and the panic in his voice and in the voices behind him. it sounded very frantic in the background. tom worked on a desk on wall street. i heard scream aning and noise 20 years, but this was very different. he said a plane had hit and he was going into the stairwells to try to get out and had hoped for -- as soon as we hung up the phone is when t

and i just want to say, back to tom keane, marvelous man, former governor of new jersey, he co-chaired with commission with lee hamiltonserved in congress with many of us, chaired the foreign affairs committee and was my predecessor. but that commission succeeded because of the seamless bipartisanship of its chairs. there was not one press event that had one of them there. they were both there. and a colleagues of mine who was a member of that commission, talks about that in the most moving ways and tom is right. congress has failed to reorganize, which has meant that there is much less wind beneath the sales of our homeland security effort. shame on congress. but we've succeeded in many ways. and i would just say a couple other things, if i could. i was a member of something called the national commission on terrorism, which was formed before 9/11 and we were one of three commissions that predicted a major attack on u.s. soil. we tried to get attention paid to this problem of rising terrorism, especially in the middle east, where we had named al qaeda in our report. we talked about many of the issues that have plagued
