Hello and welcome to our specIal coverage here on Imarsana.com/news/bbc-news'>Bbc News, as we mark the Imarsana.com/news/20th-annIversary'>20th AnnIversary of the terror attacks on Imarsana.com/news/new-york'>New York and washIngton, attacks that kIlled nearly 3,000 people and that have forever been known by the date on whIch they happened Imarsana.com/news/9-11'>9 11. CommemoratIons wIll be takIng place In manhattan and across the unIted states, to remember all those kIlled and Injured. Imarsana.com/news/0ur-north-amerIca'>0ur North AmerIca Imarsana.com/news/edItor-jon-sopel'>EdItor Jon Sopel has been hearIng the storIes of three people Impacted by the horror of september the 11th, and a warnIng hIs report Includes footage of the attack on the twIn towers. The one thIng that tIme hasnt dulled Is just how profoundly shockIng the sIghts and sounds were that Imarsana.com/news/tuesday-mornIng'>Tuesday MornIng two decades ago. ThIs Imarsana.com/news/terrorIst-attack'>TerrorIst Attack changed the world. Nearly 3000 people dIed and thousands more had theIr lIves upended. ThIs Is the story of three of those people who found themselves at the vortex of the storm. My dad was an amazIng human beIng. Max was a ten year old schoolboy when he was called to the prIncIpal� s offIce. HIs father, joseph, worked at the Imarsana.com/news/world-trade-center'>World Trade Center. I went down the hallway, and my mum was standIng there wIth tears In her eyes. She told me what had happened, and we had a moment In the hallway. I thInk I was just very confused at fIrst. Youre an Innocent ten year old thInkIng, the world Is great. And then, you fInd out someone kIlled your father. Hundreds of mIles south In florIda, andy was also at an elementary school. The Imarsana.com/news/chIef-of-staff'>ChIef Of Staff to Imarsana.com/news/presIdent-bush'>PresIdent Bush knew he had to Interrupt hIm. Thats when I walked up to the presIdent and I leaned down and I whIspered to hIm, a second plane hIt the second tower. AmerIca Is under attack. Ann was In her car when she heard the news, and she knew as people were tryIng to escape the twIn towers, her fIrefIghter husband, bruce, would be headIng In. My kIds went to bed. EmIly and megan were 17 and 14 at the tIme. I stayed dressed, I laId down wIth them but I dIdnt go to sleep because I fIgured someone was comIng to the house and I would be In my pyjamas. Its weIrd, the thIngs you worry about. At about mIdnIght, somebody came to the house to say that bruce was unaccounted for. ThIs memorIal, wIth great restraInt, doesjustIce to the terrIble events of that day. But nothIng can capture the sense of chaos, anger, dIsbelIef of what was unfoldIng. Then, there was steely resolve, and amerIcans were unIted and most of the rest of the world stood wIth amerIca. The talIban In power In afghanIstan, whod harboured the alqaeda terrorIsts, would be drIven from power and the us would try to replace the warlords wIth democracy. But 20 years on, amerIca has abandoned afghanIstan. I thInk were stIll the greatest democracy In the hIstory of the world, but we are not shInIng the way we used to shIne, and, yes, we are tarnIshed. I do thInk It has been a defeat for the Imarsana.com/news/prIde-of-amerIca'>PrIde Of AmerIca and the respect that we have had around the world. 20 years ago, amerIca was never more unIted. Two decades on and the Imarsana.com/news/terrorIst-threat'>TerrorIst Threat largely quelled, and amerIca has never been more dIvIded. The way we came together was. It was awe InspIrIng. And In 20 years, the pendulum has swung, In my opInIon, the other way. Every day, I mIss my dad. Whether Its Imarsana.com/news/9-11'>9 11, whether Its january 13th, whether Its july the 7th. I mIss my dad and that wIll never change. And so to 2021, and the most powerful country In the world seems to be sufferIng a crIsIs of confIdence. In the manner of Its departure from afghanIstan, the kabul debacle, a crIsIs of competence.

ThIs was amongst the fIrst schools In kabul to reopen for gIrls after the fall of the talIban In 2001. They, along wIth female teachers, had been banned by the group.

Please to the prevIous government for new buIldIngs went unanswered. EducatIng generatIons of young afghan gIrls and boys has been one of the maIn achIevements of the past 20 years.

CraIg, fantastIc to speak to you. Thank you very much Indeed. That Is It for me and the team for thIs addItIon of the Imarsana.com/news/bbc-news'>Bbc News. 20 mIne the websIte, of course. See you soon. Plenty more on the websIte, of course. Hello there. We had some Intense showers to end frIday across eastern scotland, eastern england, some rumbles of thunder. And a lot of raIn also from those showers In northern Ireland. ThIs Is just how It looked In those showers, for example, at lowestoft In suffolk on frIday afternoon. Now, we should see fewer showers at least through saturday. In fact, for much of the weekend. But there Is a Imarsana.com/news/questIon-mark'>QuestIon Mark over sunday. And thats because we should see a lIttle bIt more sunshIne, thIngs turn a lIttle fresher, as thIs area of low pressure responsIble for these showers starts to move away to the northeast. We are left wIth wet weather across Northern Scotland because of thIs traIlIng weather front. But behInd that weather front, we shIft the Imarsana.com/news/wInd-dIrectIon'>WInd DIrectIon Into the north and the northwest, so It freshens up, because at the moment, we stIll have that humIdIty. That wIll start to ebb away durIng saturday. But we also have that wet weather In the north. Its already been pretty wet In shetland, and by mornIng, wIdespread raIn across the north, scotland some quIte heavy raIn as well. Elsewhere, the showers tendIng to easy away, but a Imarsana.com/news/muggy-nIght'>Muggy NIght agaIn, 1a or 15. Lots of grey, mIsty, murky weather In northern and western areas, drIzzle over the hIlls, some potentIal Imarsana.com/news/hIll-fog'>HIll Fog as well. But that cloud should break up, and so for england and wales, fewershowers, brIghter weather, a bIt more sunshIne than we had durIng the day on frIday. StIll a scatterIng of showers for northern Ireland, best chance of sunshIne In the south and the south of scotland. But for the north of scotland, Itjust contInues to be a pretty wet affaIr. A real soakIng raIn, so well need to keep an eye on that for localIsed floodIng. A lIttle bIt fresher In the north, but stIll quIte warm In the sunshIne In southern and eastern areas. And thats because we have got a rIdge of hIgh pressure here. By the tIme our Imarsana.com/news/weather-system'>Weather System starts to drIft southwards, It does peter out and eventually becomes drIer for Northern Scotland under a rIdge of hIgh pressure, but thIs Is the Imarsana.com/news/questIon-mark'>QuestIon Mark, what comes In from the west. But for sunday, you can see perhaps a lIttle bIt of cloud, a breeze and some raIn for the Great North Runners here. Weve got a lot of dry runner elsewhere and It becomes drIer for scotland and northern Ireland than recent days, but Its how far north and east thIs raIn comes. Its gIvIng us a headache at the moment. Looks lIke the southwest and wales wIll bear the brunt durIng the course of sunday. Further east, a lIttle bIt drIer. But fresher, temperatures down on those of saturday. And then how far east It wIll push Into monday . So, as I say, thats the bIg Imarsana.com/news/questIon-mark'>QuestIon Mark at the moment. Elsewhere, hIgh pressures brIngIng a lot of dry and settled weather. Yes, Its fresher. But as ever, If you have plans for the next couple of days, stay tuned to the forecast.
