Drumbeat on this stunning clear september morning, they gathered in Solemnity And Sadness in lower manhattan. 0h, say, can you see by the dawn� s early light. The weather identical to that fateful Tuesday Morning 20 years ago, but Everything Else was different. And the rockets� red glare. At 8 46 this morning, the tolling of a bell.

The president , who has visited all three of the 9 11 sites, today spoke about the significance of the commemorations. These memorials are really important. But they are also incredibly difficult for the people who were affected by them. Because it brings back that moment they got the phone call. It brings back that instant you got the news. And George W Bush, who was president in 2001, contrasted America Today with america then. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation, and ourfuture together. I come without explanations or solutions. I can only tell you what ive seen. 0n Americas Day of trial and grief, i saw millions of people instinctively grab for a Neighbours Hand and rally to the cause of one another. That is the america i know. But today belongs to the people whose lives were rent by these unfathomable acts. I was sleeping when the first tower hit, and my mom woke me up because my dad worked there, so. He was a victim, and i saw the second Plane Hit and ijust hopped in my car. I was here the next morning. He sobs excuse me. You cant ever explain this horrible thing. You know, and you re live it every year, but, i mean, i think for the families its worse. For hour after hour, Family Members read the Alphabetical List of names of those who perished. 0n anniversaries, america can feel a kinder, less harsh place to be, very little unites this divided country at the moment. At the Sorrow And Pain of that day 20 years ago still does, more or less. Jon sopel, bbc news, New York. The events in america twenty years ago were a defining moment for the world. They led to the us led Invasion Of Afghanistan, It Isa it is a Blue Sky behind me just like the sky 20 years ago when those 9 11 attacks came out of nowhere and took down the twin towers. Now, those attacks were a defining moment for america and the world. It led to the us led Invasion Of Afghanistan and the overthrow of the taliban who were accused of giving a sanctuary for those who planned the attack. Alqaeda. This is the history coming Full Circle and or correspondent reports on how the 9 11 was remembered there. At this busy market in the west of kabul today, few knew it was the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Some simply had no idea what had happened in New York 20 years ago. For others, memories of the tragedy there are steeped In Afghanistan has own struggles. People affected in 9 11 are also human beings. It does concern. I mean, still we are suffering from those things that have been throughout those 20 years. We have suffered more than 9 11 In Afghanistan. The americans, when they came here, they have changed our life. Everything has changed. For the first time, the girls, you know, the school for the girls have improved. Now how do you see the future . Well, i think if it goes like this, it will be difficult for afghans to live In Afghanistan. As you see, a lot of afghans are going out of the country. Two decades after they were overthrown, the talibans flags flutter across the city once again. Their banner, now in front of sites where western missions were once based. Behind this gate is what used to be The American embassy. In front of it, taliban flags are on sale. In fact, you can see a group of fighters who have just purchased some. For many in america this will be a deeply distressing sight. Questions are already being asked about what the last 20 years of war here really achieved. The us did manage to largely defeat alqaeda In Afghanistan. The taliban insist they will never allow anyone to plot Terrorist Attacks from here again. But their victory has emboldened hardliners. This man is not part of the taliban. But he has come here to celebrate their conquest over what he terms the corrupt previous government, which had been backed by the us. The 9 11 anniversary might not mean much for people here. But its legacy is something the country is still grappling with. Decades of war are finally over. Can the future be more peaceful than the past . Secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. Lets head to New York and speak with laura treveylan. Those reflecting were actually there. This place that was one of Death And Destruction 20 years ago, this memorial is more serene for New Yorkers. In that chaotic exit from afghanistan has so many people in New York asking a basic question which is, if the taliban are back in control In Afghanistan as they were 20 years ago, what is to stop them from harbouring alqaeda once again and is America Safe . So many big questions, some the threads on this 20th anniversary of 9 11 and here at the site, the place where it happened, almost 3000 people lost their lives, an overwhelming sense of sadness. 18 year old briton Emma Raducanu has had chances to win the us open lets find out the latest. The 2021 champion. 0ne the 2021 champion. One of the watch parties and 18 years old and is the 2021 world champion. Im going to cross straight to im going to cross Lizzie Greenwood hughes is at the Bbc Sport Centre in salford. There was a bit of drama in the last few minutes, but she has done it. I few minutes, but she has done it. I cannot tell you how extraordinary this is. The first british woman to win a grand Slam Singles Title and 44 years, the first qualified devil when a grand Slam Title and we are hard on Sports Journalists when a grand Slam Title and we are hard on sportsjournalists but when a grand Slam Title and we are hard on Sports Journalists but ive heard people saying that this is the best Tennis Match Theyve seen ever. The best theyve seen for years and people saying how much they love this game. This deals to me like a changing moment in womens tennis. Itsjust been the changing moment in womens tennis. Its just been the most incredible game, notjust because she was victorious, that is incredible for british fans, but the way these two teenagers played, the quality of tennis they played in this final has just been breathtaking. And the multiple Grand Slam champion, one of most famous Tennis Players of all time, but in the first game, she said when athlete. Theyre saying that these girls had nerves of steel and that she is a revelation. 0utrageous courage, the way they played this final has been extraordinary. But emma has done it. She has not tried to set the entire tournament she had to come through several rounds of qualifying to even make it to the third set and she has one. I do not know the score. It was six four, i believe, but she has been extraordinary. She is such a talent. She has the service, she wanted with an ace. She has been serving beautifully which is amazing movement and she is graceful and she has a Wonderfulforehand Movement and she is graceful and she has a wonderful forehand and backhand. She has done this for a seasoned pro and yet shes 18 years old and she is just past her A Levels in the summer. Shes been in school, barely played international top level tennis, 6 3 was the score. That an incredible Score Line for anyone to win a grand Slam Title in straight sets, but for her to do it, qualifying title with Salute Experience and she has been a jov Salute Experience and she has been a joy. It has beenjoyous Salute Experience and she has been a joy. It has been joyous for us just to watch herjourney through this and i know im sending completely over the top, but really, the way these two girls a play this match, this Us Open Final has been wonderful. I this Us Open Final has been wonderful this Us Open Final has been wonderful. I think we are all euuall wonderful. I think we are all equally impressed wonderful. I think we are all equally impressed by wonderful. I think we are all equally impressed by her. I wonderful. I think we are all i equally impressed by her. And wonderful. I think we are all equally impressed by her. And that emotion really expressed by some the people. The former wimbledon champion has simply said. You are kidding me. She has blown everyone away, hasnt she . Away, hasnt she . Theres been no crunchin away, hasnt she . Theres been no crunching or away, hasnt she . Theres been no crunching or groaning, away, hasnt she . Theres been no crunching or groaning, most away, hasnt she . Theres been no crunching or groaning, most is away, hasnt she . Theres been no | crunching or groaning, most is been actually welcome humoured. Why the lovely things that you when she was the point, she still smiles and the only bad temper and is the came out in the match at all was when Emma Raducanu fell over when she was just trying to save for service again in the championship winning game and she cut her leg and she had to stop and she was on the verge of being broken. It was really pivotal point in the match. Most on the verge of winning the champion ship, the mets couldve gone the other Way And Theory and the 19 year old canadian got a big chat with the umpire and took a long time to put a plaster on her leg, but i dont know whether or not that helped her because the momentum was with fernandez, although as i say, Emma Raducanu had although as i say, Emma Raducanu had a good championship points but she was 5 3 up in that second set already. But i think thousand important moment where there was any kind of bad temper and is. And the other thing is that because her opponent is canadian, 90 of The Cloud were entirely for fernandez. Emma raducanu did not have much support she was booed at one point for taking too long to take her surf. So i think, to do which he has done with no home support, no experience, it hasjust done with no home support, no experience, it has just been a joy for Tennis Fans and Sports Fans and if she wasnt already absolutely the favourite to win the bbc� s Sports Personality of the year. Lets personality of the year. Lets focus on personality of the year. Lets focus on her personality of the year. Lets focus on her opponent. Personality of the year. Lets focus on her opponent. Leila i focus on her opponent. Leila fernandez, another equally impressive Tennis Player. Amazing skills there in 19 years old.

It was lovely about her game was that they gave The Cloud, the rallies went on forever and just the range of shots that fernandez has, she was wowing us as much as Emma Raducanu was. Itsjust wowing us as much as Emma Raducanu was. Its just that Emma Raducanu had more winners in. But make no bones about it, she will be a Grand Slam winner. She has incredible talent too.

His only really in the last year that shes kind of, turned into a proper aduu shes kind of, turned into a proper adult in terms of her athleticism. The fact that she is so accomplished and so polished at the player already is just exciting for the future and what we really need to make sure is that she stays fit and she stays healthy both mentally and physically.

Saying, youre kidding me. Heather watson also upper caps. What a superstar. Absolutely incredible, history made. Huge congratulations. Extraordinary for many people who do not understand the game of tennis, the first thing we started talking about was that there is the first time as a qualifier that she has made it this far. Explain to us what that means and how that works. How is a qualifier to reach where she got to, how there was a significant. In how there was a significant. I� i front to compare to football in england, and wales and scotland and Northern Ireland are going through, qualifiers at the moment and lastly. Theyre in a group and the smaller nations find it hard to qualify. If you compare that to tennis, stopped down to rankings chemically qualify for these big treatments of youre in certain ranking level. If youre not, you have to do tournaments beforehand if you do well enough and those come is the same as wimbledon, and on the other big competitions another Grand Slams. And beating all those people to get to the first part of the main draw and so, she booked two flights to go home because she wasnt expecting to make it through qualifying, let alone get into the draw and get to where she was in getting to the title. Its tough for them and All Of Us Lower rank players. She was ranked 50 before she got into the tournament also linking is a career high and should not be significantly lower. The top 30 and i dont know how the rankings work especially now that shes won the title, theyll come down any more. Its good to many matches you plan how many people you be in the ranking of the players that you beat. But should not be in the worlds top 30 and itll mean that she automatically makes it into the next Grand Slam. Ihi, that she automatically makes it into the next Grand Slam. B. Bit that she automatically makes it into the next Grand Slam. The next Grand Slam. A bit more reaction, the next Grand Slam. A bit more reaction. So. The next Grand Slam. A bit more reaction, so, weve the next Grand Slam. A bit more reaction, so, weve heard the next Grand Slam. A bit more reaction, so, weve heard from | reaction, so, weve heard from scotlands nicola sturgeon. I suspect tonight that this is one of the Sporting Occasions that will be talked about for decades to come, two great players who will No Doubt dominate Womens Attendance for years to come. We also hearing from neighbours leader, what a winner, a true british era. Congratulations on an inspirational victory, Emma Raducanu. From qualifier to champion without dropping a set. A phenomenal challenge. And just to let you know, i can see whats taking place within the stadium and just having a speech there and emma, a big smile on her face. Lilla fernandes, you can see that she is upset. But emma is smiling and about to collect her trophy for what she has achieved this evening in New York and also another reaction here, political reaction, the Foreign Secretary, the uk Foreign Secretary tweeting, just awesome. What a fantastic achievement. Im going to come back to you. How was it that she was so below the radar . 0bviously within the sporting world, the tennis world, people would have been aware of her. Weve had some big name saying absolutely shocked at this 18 year old bursting onto the scene and here we are. She 18yearold bursting onto the scene and here we are. And here we are. She has not played Ve Min and here we are. She has not played very minty international very minty international tournaments. Partly due to Covid 19 because she did very well at wimbledon and we may have seen it a few more, but she was playing at the lower level and before that, she was juniors. Some players would still just be coming at a juniors and so, Shejust Hasnt been just be coming at a juniors and so, she just hasnt been out there doing much and thats what makes this more incredible. Playing like someone whos been doing this for years and she has not. She has no experience with some no kind of foundations to dig into when the going gets tough and get during this match, when the going did get tough, actually, it wasnt that easy for Emma Raducanu, they were long rallies and she had to dig deep at times. And she managed to. The times were she was broken by fernandez lost her serve, she merely broke straight back. And she merely broke straight back. And shejust this depth she merely broke straight back. And she just this depth of strength which is way beyond her years. Even before todays final but she is so much more mature than she was.
