We were walking from one side of the footbridge, and we were using it as protection from everything. Debris that was falling, the people that were falling, and we kind ofjust walked to the other side, and we, kind of, looked at Each Other, and we were underneath the bridge, and we talked and we said, ok. Were going to get to The Corner and were going to. You know, were going to reconsider what were doing here. We dont want to my brother said to me, we dont want getjammed up in this thing together. And i looked at him, and i said, nah. I kind of said, no, thats come on, thats crazy. Which is crazy, because the other tower was already gone. We took one Step Out, and as we took one Step Out into the clear and this is the thing that, you know, kind of sticks with me we took one Step Out and you heard. It sounded like a shot gun. Itjust sounded like, tch tch, like that. Tch tch. And then all you heard was, boom, boom, boom, boom. More rapidly boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I and, unfortunately, those were the Floors Pancake ing On Top of Each Other and heading straight for us. 110 Storey Building fell in seven seconds total, and we were caught in the collapse. What i come to find out, this week alone this past week, i only found out there was four sets of brothers that were killed that day. There was a Father And Son in the Fire Department, as well, killed that day. For an unknown reason i have no idea why we were separated, we didnt know where we were, and we thought that was the end of it for us, but somehow we survived. Firefighter Patrick Connolly remembering what he was doing that day 20 years ago. The aniversary of the 9 11 Attacks Coinside with the us withdrawl from Afghanistan On August the 15th. For more on what that means for afghan people both in the us and afghanistan i spoke to Sunita Viswanath from the front line womens human rights organization, Women For Afghan women. I asked her where the american withdrawl would mean for her organisation. Time will tell but we spent ten days working with the State Department which is our biggest funder making lists. We which is our biggest funder making lists. ~. ,. ,. , lists. We made lists of our most atrisk peeple lists. We made lists of our most atrisk people. Let lists. We made lists of our most atrisk people. Let me lists. We made lists of our most i atrisk people. Let me emphasise, at risk people. Let me emphasise, the most at risk people of the largest afghan Womens Organisation in the world and we did not manage to get one person out. So we are feeling betrayed, bitterly disappointed. We think it means that we, the Women Of Afghanistan, must not have mattered after all to the western world. So there is that. But as an organisation that has worked for 20 years within an islamic frame, a community rooted organisation, there is the taliban statement they will respect womens rights under shari alor. I dont know if they will mean that or not but Sharia Law was the Lords Land for 20 years. We were already operating under that but our hope is that on the us side we have a Community Centre here in the New York that we will lead Refugee Work in a culturally competent way and in a humane way and on the afghanistan site, we would everything humanly possible to figure out how we can stay and be there for the women and children of who must remain in afghanistan. Children of who must remain in afghanistan children of who must remain in afuhanistan. ~. , � , afghanistan. What about the Benny Tai to net afghanistan.

We were raising Alarm Bells about Human Rights Atrocities in afghanistan and No One was listening. Even in the Womens Movement it was not a priority. 0nce 9 11 happened, all of a sudden everyone wanted to know about the Women Of Afghanistan and what they thought. In a strange way i find what they thought. In a strange Way Ifind myself what they thought. In a strange way i find myself thinking about the flip side of the tragedy, whatever we do as humans to triumph and the good Work And Triumph over catastrophe, so this catastrophe of the time August 15 feels even worse than 9 11. What we did to build afghan women was audacious and brilliant and we are trying to summon audacious and brilliant resilience to see what we build out of this new rubble.

The us us Vice President Kamala Harris refelcted on the courage shown by the passengers of us Airline Flight 93 and urged for unity. We will face new challenges, challenges that we could not have seen 20 years ago. We will seize opportunities that were at one time unimaginable. And we know that what lies ahead is not certain, it is never certain, it has never been. But i know this, if we do the hard work, of working together as americans, if we remain united in purpose, we will be prepared for whatever comes next. The a0 passengers and crewmembers of flight 93, as we all know they did not know Each Other, they were different people from different places, they were on that particular flight for different reasons. But they did not focus on what may separate us, no, they focused on what we all share. 0n the humanity we all share. In a matter of minutes, in the most dire of circumstances, the a0 responded as one. They fought for their own lives and to save the lives of countless others at our nations capital. After today, it is my Hope And Prayer that we continue to honour their courage. Their conviction. That we honour their unity by strengthening our common bonds, by strengthening our global partnerships and by always living out our highest ideals. That partnerships and by always living out our highest ideals. Partnerships and by always living out our highest ideals. That is the Vice President out our highest ideals. That is the Vice President kamala out our highest ideals. That is the Vice President Kamala Harris i Vice President Kamala Harris speaking there in pennsylvania today. As weve been hearing, former President George W bush, who Led America at the time of the attacks, has been speaking at Todays Ceremony in shanksville, pennsylvania. Lets listen back to some more of what he had to say. In the weeks and months following the 9m in the weeks and months following the 9 11 attacks, i was proud to lead the 9 11 attacks, i was proud to lead an the 9 11 attacks, i was proud to lead an amazing resilient people. When lead an amazing resilient people. When It Lead an amazing resilient people. When it comes to the unity of america. When it comes to the unity of america, those days seem distant from america, those days seem distant from our america, those days seem distant from our own. Malign forces see networking our common life that turns networking our common life that turns every disagreement into an argument turns every disagreement into an argument and every argument into a Clash Argument and every argument into a clash of argument and every argument into a clash of cultures. So much of our Politics Clash of cultures. So much of our politics has clash of cultures. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fearand politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us worried about our Nation And Future leaves us worried about our Nation And Future together. I come without explanations or solutions. I can only explanations or solutions. I can only tell explanations or solutions.

One of the four planes hijacked 20 years ago crashed into the pentagon, just outside washington, dc. 18a people were killed. A Memorial Ceremony is underway at the site of the attack to honour those who lost their lives. Gary 0donoghue is there for us and joins me live. It has been very striking in Todays Coverage how President George W Bush Use that address in pennsylvania to draw a direct line between the 9 11 hijackers and domestic extremists. He even referred to them as children of the same foul spirit. How does that strike you coming months after the january six riots on the capital when supporters of President Trump try to overturn the election . T try to overturn the election . I think it is an extraordinary intervention, giving The High Profile Nature of the occasion today, all the symbolism around 9 11 and symbolism around the second decade after 9 11 and the withdrawal from afghanistan. There is little difference effectively from violence abroad versus violence that comes from within. I do not think many people will be confused about what he is referring to. He talked about people who wanted to take down american institutions, american landmarks, you clearly know he is talking about january six. I thought it was an impassioned description but it was interesting listening to him there, there is a sort of counsel of despair as well. I come without explanation or solutions, he said. In other words, what do you do . Ijust want said. In other words, what do you do . I just want to go said. In other words, what do you do . Ijust want to go back said. In other words, what do you do . I just want to go back to said. In other words, what do you do . Ijust want to go back to in a row when we were together and that is what we had in 9 11. To a time when we were together. It is incredibly difficult, you would look to past President S and people who judged the mood of the country sufficiently right to get elected to the sort of Posts Job Something to say about what to do next. He is clearly at a loss. Say about what to do next. He is clearly at a loss. You have been at the pentagon clearly at a loss. You have been at the pentagon all clearly at a loss. You have been at the pentagon all day, clearly at a loss. You have been at the pentagon all day, 184 clearly at a loss. You have been at the pentagon all day, 184 people i the pentagon all day, 18a people were killed there on 9 11 and many more Service Personnel went on to lose their lives in the wars in Afghanistan And Iraq, On Top of that we have history coming full circle with the taliban back in control in afghanistan and another 13 Years Service personnel losing their lives in august. What has been the tone at the Pentagon Today . The in august. What has been the tone at the Pentagon Today . The Pentagon Today . The tone has been pretty the Pentagon Today . The tone has been pretty much the Pentagon Today . The tone has been pretty much the the Pentagon Today . The tone has been pretty much the same the Pentagon Today . The tone has been pretty much the same that i the Pentagon Today . The tone has l been pretty much the same that you see every year here, they take this very seriously, they have that Sunrise Unfurling of the stars stripes down the western facade, at the point where flight 77 hit. That point in the building is now a chapel, a Memorial Chapel for the tsa chapel, a Memorial Chapel for the 18a victims of that attack. You can go and see that if you come to washington as a tourist, you can take the Pentagon Tour and see the chapel and the point at which the plane hit the building. So they go through this every year and they remember what happened on that day and the people who were killed on that day and the horrendous uncertainty and fear. They spent the next three hours thinking there was at least two more planes heading for this building, they had to keep evacuating firefighters and people out after our because the Control Tower at reagan national was telling them there is another plane coming your way. The sheer fear that must have engendered. But it is notjust about that day for the people in this building because they are those who look after, who organise and to deploy the might of american power, 1. 3 million Men And Women Under Arms Around The World and they know the dangers and they know them only to well because of the costs they have paid in Afghanistan And Iraq and as you said, in that recent ignominious withdrawal from afghanistan which show Saw America confined to an airport and shuttling its way out of the country and leaving the taliban, the country and leaving the taliban, the organisation that Harboured 0sama bin laden, that created the opportunity for him to attack this country, leaving them back in charge.

The 9 11 commemoration here at the sight of the World Trade at the sight of the World Trade Center, now the memorial was extremely solemn and poignant and yet it was noticeable how in pennsylvania, the people who spoke there, President George bush and Vice President Kamala Harris, someone who lost their brother on the plane, they all made the same analogy, they compared the a0 passengers who overpowered the hijackers, they said they had all come from different backgrounds but were united that day. One person even said it was the beginning of the War On Terror. It is usually a nonpolitical event, the 9 11, but it is now being drawn by people to draw lessons about american unity, have you seen that before . T lessons about american unity, have you seen that before . You seen that before . I think it is fascinating you seen that before . I think it is fascinating. There you seen that before .

There was a speaker who also drew a direct line back to the founders, the people who created this country, the whole idea of out of many one, that was the whole Finding Idea of this country, 13 colonies coming together to form a confederation and eventually a united states of europe. This idea you could have diversity working together based on an idea and that is what they are reflecting, no matter our differences, are walks of life, where we come from, north, south, east, west, from the cities, from the country, there ought to be common ground because that is what america is all about. It is a powerful argument but at the moment, how you make that resonate, given the sheer nature of the deafness on all sides to what other people are saying is a really tricky political problem.

This is a big question for today. This is benate a very emotional and poignant day here today at the World Trade Center site which is now the memorialfor those who died at the twin towers. That reading of the names of those who were killed is always so moving and it has been especially so today.

I got your guitar here by my bed all your favorite records and all the books that you read and though my soul feels like its been split at the seams ill see you in my dreams. Dry and bright to weather across the uk today. Even some sunshine in parts of scotland. In the north there has been a very wet day. We have had some very heavy rain, The System is easing tonight with increasingly lighter and patchier rain. Especially further southin patchier rain. Especially further south in scotland, elsewhere clear spells with patches of mist and fog, easier for sleeping, feeling fresher with temperatures lower than recent nights. The big picture for tomorrow, that system in Northern Scotland continues to move away. Another one approaches in the South West and especially for wales at what can wait as the day goes on. A dry day in scotland, beginning with a lot of cloud, a few showers and some patchy rain. This might push into north east england, increasing cloud across northern england. North and West Scotland see sunny spells breaking through, another dry day northern ireland. Sunny spells for the midlands and south east england. South West England might see some rain in the North West of quanno, particularly in wales expecting rain going into the evening. North west of cornwall. Temperatures in the teens towards parts of eastern and south east england. 21 today. 0utbreaks south east england. 21 today. Outbreaks of rain across parts of wales in the evening and towards the midlands and one or two spots of northern england. A much Cooler Night across the northern half of the uk. Temperatures well down into single figures. Sunshine to follow. Some uncertainty about detail but it looks like western areas of england, wales and south West Scotland will see outbreaks of rain on monday. Elsewhere dry. After that, The System will push your way eastwards and awake Weather Front arriving for the North West on wednesday with rain for parts of scotland. That atlantic Weather System later in the week. Lots to take in but the main story in the week ahead for weather is that there will be a Chance Of Rain at the start of the week and later in the week fine weather. This is bbc news. Im lukwesa burak. The headlines. Commemoration services have been taking place to mark 20 years since the 9 11 Terror Attacks in america. The names of the almost 3,000 victims were read out at events in New York, washington and pennsylvania. Bell rings. Six moments of silence have been held marking the times each of the four hijacked planes crashed and when the World Trade centre buildings collapsed, on that day, in 2001. Former President S, clinton and 0bama, joined joe biden, in New York as George W Bush spoke in pennsylvania, warning about a loss of unity in american society. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment
